I, Thanks To My Unlimited Investment, Am Admired By All Races

“The next item?” Li Xun’s curiosity was piqued. “What is the next test?”

The white-robed disciple pondered for a moment, then glanced deeply at Li Xun and pointed to a stone pillar in the chamber. “Senior Brother, you need to strike the pillar with your true essence without using any weapons. Let’s see how deep a mark you can leave.”

“So that’s it,” Li Xun understood immediately.

At the Qi Condensation Stage, practitioners could project their true essence outside their bodies.

When using weapons, the sharpness of the true essence would be amplified many times over.

However, without weapons, the destructive power of true essence would decrease significantly.

This test was to gauge the inner disciples’ control over their true essence.

If one could condense their true essence to the extreme, its lethality would rival that of imperial weapons!

Li Xun formed his fingers into a sword.

A sharp sword beam condensed, emitting a chilling light, dazzling and unstoppable.

Even the nearby white-robed disciple felt a stinging pain as if his skin was being sliced.

He pursed his lips and softly reminded, “Senior Brother, it’s okay to hold back a bit.”

“Alright.” Li Xun nodded and restrained five percent of his strength.

Then, he swung his sword finger downward.

Buzz!

The sword beam pierced through the air with a sharp whistle, seemingly slicing through the void.

Boom!

A loud crash echoed.

The entire chamber shook violently, and smoke and dust billowed.

After a long time, the dust settled.

The white-robed disciple stood in shock.

“Ah…this…” He stared blankly at the stone pillar, which was almost a meter high but now reduced to just three feet.

The cut surface was extremely smooth, with no visible traces of the cut.

Moreover, on the wall behind the pillar, there was a sword mark several inches deep.

It must be noted that this chamber was constructed from cold iron stone, making it impossible for ordinary Qi Condensation Stage disciples to leave any mark.

But Li Xun had not only left a mark but had also cut several inches deep.

This was simply unbelievable!

“Gulp!”

The white-robed disciple swallowed hard.

He looked at Li Xun, then at the stone pillar, and finally at the wall, deeply shaken.

What kind of monster was this Senior Brother?

Was this really the result of holding back a bit?

If he went all out, what would it look like?

Would he dismantle the entire chamber?

“Is there any more testing?” Li Xun asked, hands behind his back, looking at the white-robed disciple.

“No…no more.” The white-robed disciple forced a smile and continued, “Senior Brother, please wait in the front hall for a moment. I’ll prepare the inner disciple’s attire and your identity jade token.”

“Alright.” Li Xun nodded and returned to the main hall.

He didn’t have to wait long.

The white-robed disciple quickly came over with a box. He handed the box to Li Xun, saying, “Senior Brother, these are your clothes.”

He then handed over a jade token. “This is your identity token. With this, you can freely enter and exit the sect’s protective formation.”

“Thank you,” Li Xun said, accepting the box and the token. He examined them closely.
