The Bronze City Beneath the Three Gorges!

Chapter 19 The Bronze City Beneath the Three Gorges!

[Congratulations! You have mastered this sword technique within a month and have been recognized as a disciple of its lineage.]

Next, we will conduct a practical assessment, and you will receive different rewards based on your performance.

Why did we jump straight into the practical assessment?

Did you skip the last two learning objectives because you're too talented?

Gu Ce was somewhat puzzled.

As Gu Ce said, learning swordsmanship was extremely easy for him.

This unknown sword technique has no artistic conception; it is merely an ordinary sword technique. However, it can generate up to 20 times the power and also provide a defensive boost.

Compared to the highest power exerted by a hundred times in the universe, this twenty times may not seem like much, but it completely overwhelms any sword technique on Earth.

Gu Ce didn't know what kind of secret manuals others had encountered, but they probably weren't as powerful as the one he had learned.

Otherwise, the Ninefold Thunder Blade wouldn't be the sword technique with the highest power multiplier on Earth.

Having six eyes is a basic skill that is no problem for Gu Ce at all. One day!

In just one day, Gu Ce had completely mastered this sword technique!

"Come on, let me see what the practical assessment is like!"

Gu Ce drew his Frost Sword from his back, his eyes sharp, and looked at a door that had suddenly appeared in a corner of the room.

The door was wide open!

A robot with a bronze-colored body and a streamlined shape walked in.

[The robot's strength is equivalent to that of the trial participant. Defeat it within one hour. Failure to do so will result in automatic elimination.]

Didn't they say they could stall for time? Why is there still talk of elimination?

Because I learned that sword technique?

Despite this, Gu Ce remained full of confidence.

I am invincible among my peers!

The robot arm transformed into a longsword blade and unleashed a set of sword techniques. Gu Ce immediately recognized these techniques as the ones he had just learned.

"when!"

The Frost Sword and the robot's arm collided, and neither could gain the upper hand!

Gu Ce suddenly took a step back. In terms of strength alone, this robot was stronger than him, but it was slower, which was his advantage!

Swish!

In just five seconds, Gu Ce collided with the robot dozens of times.

No one can do anything to anyone else!

Gu Ce quickly considered countermeasures in his mind. This robot's skin was too tough. Even with the technique of exerting twenty times the force, what could he do? He still couldn't break through its defenses with his own strength alone.

Is there any way to break this deadlock?

Gu Ce resisted the robot's attack, but felt increasingly uneasy.

This robot... seems to possess some kind of special movement technique?

The robot's movements became increasingly skillful, effortlessly blocking Gu Ce's attacks. What started as a stalemate between the two became a situation where the robot gradually gained the upper hand, and even Gu Ce's faster speed failed to make a difference.

This movement technique seems to be a perfect match for that unknown sword technique!

Is this the real test?

Gu Ce's eyes lit up.

Six Eyes memorized the robot's movements completely and repeated them in his mind.

Gu Ce began to imitate the robot's movements and discovered that the robot's movements seemed to conform to the operation of the fundamental laws of space to a certain extent!

Of course, it was only a slight overlap, but even this overlap allowed the robot's movement skills to far surpass those of Gu Ce.

Previously, although Gu Ce could observe the operation of the fundamental laws of space, it was of little use to him as an apprentice, as he could hardly understand its mysteries.

Now, Gu Ce sees hope in making use of this ability!

"when!"

The blades clashed again, and this time, although Gu Ce failed to gain the upper hand, the situation returned to a stalemate.

The battle had only been going on for a few minutes, and Gu Ce still had plenty of energy.

Through constant battles with the robot, imitating and learning its movements, I honed my swordsmanship.

at last!

"Again!" Gu Ce shouted excitedly, swinging his sword.

Wow!

Original sword move: Waves!

Combining the unknown sword technique, the Longevity Sword Technique, and the Water Art, Gu Ce finally perfected the first sword move he created after nearly half an hour of fierce fighting!

This sword strike also marked the first time it overpowered the robot.

……

Within China, in the Three Gorges region of the Yangtze River.

"Hello, War God Gu Hechang," a young man said politely.

Gu Hechang nodded slightly and looked at the three men in black following behind the young man.

"These three are from the Glory Legion, and they are helpers invited by my Wang family and Xu family. In addition, each of our two families will send one more person, for a total of six people to enter that ancient civilization ruins," the young man introduced.

Gu Hechang had also heard of the Glory Legion; it was a foreign mercenary force, led by a member of parliament, and was quite powerful.

Of the three, Gu Hechang glanced at them and saw two mid-level War Gods and one high-level War God.

Together with the two mid-level war gods from the Wang and Xu families, this is the main force for this exploration of the ruins.

"According to the pre-agreed allocation, you will receive 25%, my Wang family and the Xu family will each receive 30%, and the remaining 15% will be the share of these three individuals. No objections, right?"

"We'll do as you say." Gu Hechang took a deep breath and looked down.

The site was located beneath the surface of the Yangtze River and was completely sealed off. One of the Wang family's generals accidentally wandered into it, managed to escape, and then relayed the news.

It is certain that even warriors at the general level would not face much danger going in there, so it should be even less of a problem for these war gods.

The general from the Wang family obtained many precious medicinal herbs from the ruins, which are said to contain the spirits of plants and trees, but he was unable to bring them out. This is the basis for the claim that the place is a pharmaceutical factory.

After dawdling for several tens of minutes, the young man brought over some diving equipment, followed by the two war gods.

"My fellow warriors, once you've donned this gear, you can prepare to go into the water."

"There's enough oxygen here for you to survive underwater for twelve hours."

Good luck to you!

Among this group, Gu Hechang was undoubtedly the strongest, and he also served as the team leader.

All six of them jumped into the water at once, and the monsters in the water all retreated.

Laser cannons have been set up on the shore. As long as no King-level monster appears, they can be easily blasted to death by the laser cannons!

Soon, the six of them reached the depths of the water.

A massive bronze city appeared before them.

……

"call!"

Gu Ce let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sheathed the Frost Sword.

On the ground, the robot, severed in half at the waist, exposed its intricate mechanical components, and lay twitching uncontrollably.

[Time taken: 41 minutes and 07 seconds, Rating: Excellent]

[Congratulations, trial participant! You have officially become a disciple of the inheritance and are qualified to receive the final inheritance!]

Using the Wave Sword Technique and the strange movement technique he learned from the robot, Gu Ce successfully defeated the robot and deepened his understanding of artistic conception, laying a solid foundation for his future advancement to the planetary level and mastery of the domain.

[Next, the final inheritance trial will take place. Please prepare yourselves!]
