#234 - Chapter 234 Spiritual Realm
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of metallic clashes rang out. The Ironclad Rhino King lived up to its name, being incredibly thick-skinned.
Fortunately, Jiang Han had allocated all his attribute points to strength; otherwise, he wouldn't know how many times he'd have to hack at this thing.
But even so, the damage he inflicted was negligible to the Ironclad Rhino King.
However...
Jiang Han had plenty of patience.
The following battle could be described as utterly boring.
Raise hand, swing sword, get hit.
Raise hand, swing sword, get hit...
He repeated this cycle countless times, like hammering iron, the clanging sound echoing incessantly in the arena.
Finally.
Chila!
After swinging his sword who knows how many times, Jiang Han's initial longsword pierced into the Ironclad Rhino King's head.
This battle, unsurprisingly, resulted in Jiang Han's victory.
Qilin: “…”
Speechless.
It was truly speechless.
Since the existence of the Holy Spirit Arena, there had probably never been such an oddity, using such a simple and brutal method to kill a Lord-level BOSS.
No skill whatsoever, just pure strength.
“What exactly is it that can interfere with the arena's rules?”
Qilin's thoughts raced. Even with its vast knowledge, it couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
Its eyes flickered, and Qilin stood up with a "boom."
Given this situation, it felt there was no need to continue the trial.
Whether it was a Lord-level or even higher-level BOSS, there wasn't much difference; they simply couldn't cause substantial damage to Jiang Han.
This trial had even become tedious.
Buzz!
In the next moment, Qilin's body transformed into countless specks of light, disappearing from the spot.
Just like a three-dimensional being entering a two-dimensional world, it drilled into the Holy Spirit Arena.
Rumble!
And when it reappeared, Qilin had already arrived at the Holy Spirit Arena, its body magnified dozens of times, like a mountain that blotted out the sky, enveloping Jiang Han in shadow.
[Holy Qilin - Mythic]
[Health Points: ???]
[Mana Points: ???]
[Skills: ???]
[Attributes: ???]
[Description: A powerful creature from an unknown land, guarding this place out of interest. It is gentle by nature, but it is best not to anger it, as it wields world-destroying power.]
“…”
Jiang Han's expression instantly froze.
“Well…”
Looking at the Holy Qilin's enormous body that stretched beyond sight, Jiang Han's mouth twitched, “So you're saying, the final stage of this trial is you?”
“You could say that.”
The Holy Qilin's voice, like thunder, resounded.
“Isn't this a bit of bullying?”
Hearing this answer, Jiang Han felt terrible. He could sense that the Holy Qilin was clearly not on the same level as other BOSSes.
Here, the level didn't refer to grade.
But that the Holy Qilin itself was not suppressed.
In other words, Jiang Han now had to face an existence suspected to be at the level of the Undying Divine Phoenix, with his pitifully low attributes.
How could he even fight?!
Even at his peak state, he wouldn't be a match for the Holy Qilin!
Jiang Han felt like he was a primitive man, holding a wooden stick randomly found from the forest, stepping onto the battlefield without hesitation.
Then, he took a closer look and saw a freaking Optimus Prime standing on the opposite side, and a super Optimus Prime at that!
How to fight?
Not to mention whether the shield could withstand Optimus... no, the Holy Qilin's skills.
Even if it stood there and let him hit it, even if he broke this initial longsword, would he be able to chip off a piece of its foot skin?
It wasn't even on the same level.
“Bullying?”
The Holy Qilin said with interest, “Then do you think you have a chance of winning?”
“Don't know.”
Jiang Han shrugged indifferently, “But since I'm already here, I might as well fight.”
The Holy Qilin's huge eyes stared at Jiang Han, its pupils swirling with cyan light.
After a long while, it slowly opened its mouth: “Your mentality is not bad.”
“So? How do we play?”
At this moment, Jiang Han calmed down and was very composed.
“Don't worry, although I am guarding this final trial.”
“It doesn't mean you need to defeat me, nor can you do it.”
“Yes.”
Jiang Han didn't deny it and nodded.
Facing such a terrifying existence, even with all his means, he could only achieve a 10/90 split.
Um...
One second, and he would be directly torn apart.
“However, since you've said that, there should be some other way, right?” Jiang Han asked.
“I have the final say in this final stage,”
The Holy Qilin said, “As long as you gain my approval, you will pass this final trial.”
“I see.” Jiang Han nodded.
“Aren't you curious about the final result?” the Holy Qilin asked.
“If I hadn't passed, I don't think you would have said all this to me.”
Jiang Han said calmly, “So, I should be considered to have passed, right?”
“You can understand it that way.”
The Holy Qilin nodded, “However, you still have to face the final test.”
“There's more?”
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow. Was this test never-ending?
Buzz!
However, before he could ask in detail, a gate of light appeared around him.
Then, with a flash of white light, the Holy Qilin directly threw his entire person into it.
The gate of light closed.
The Holy Qilin stared in the direction where the light disappeared, lost in thought:
“Divinity? But even the highest divine position cannot interfere with the arena's rules.”
“So… what exactly is it?”
Its eyes were as if covered with a thick fog.
“Forget it.”
Unable to think of anything, the Holy Qilin was too lazy to think about it.
Its deep voice penetrated out, echoing leisurely:
“Human, this final test, strictly speaking, is not a trial.”
“The carrier of the Holy Decree is within the Spirit Realm. What you need to do is to bring Him out.”
At the same time.
Jiang Han was wrapped in a layer of white light, slowly landing.
“The carrier of the Holy Decree, huh?”
Hearing the Holy Qilin's voice, he looked around and found that besides the scenery being better, it was no different from other places.
However, the restrictions on his body had been lifted, and both his class and attributes had returned to normal.
Whoosh!
Just at this moment, a white shadow flashed and disappeared in the distance.
“Is that the carrier of the Holy Decree?”
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the true face of this shadow.
“If you want to bring Him out, go and gain His approval. That's the only thing you can do.”
“This is my only piece of advice to you.”
The Holy Qilin's voice sounded again, and a hint of anticipation appeared in its eyes.
After all...
For thousands of years, this was the first time someone had entered the Spirit Realm.
