Chapter 78 Believe me, no problem
The orbital rattles…!
The sound of glass shattering came to his ears, and the next second, Baijie felt an impact as if he was run over by a huge truck.

The vision twists, shakes, and turns.

The sense of reality was getting further and further away from me, and everything I saw was shaking.

Then, as if the color palette had been overturned, all the scenery dissolved in gray tones and gradually spread out.

The whole scene was dyed in a single color.

However, the next second, the gloomy scene fell apart again.

At the same time, the chaotic spirit seemed to re-enter his body at an extremely fast speed.

With a "bang", Bai Jie felt himself fall heavily to the ground. He took a deep breath and his heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his mouth.

"What's going on now? Did I really succeed? Did I really pass that test?"

He slowly got up from the ground and heard applause.

"Kukuku...well done!"

Snow Yashahime was sitting on the tatami beside him, and he seemed to have returned to the lake master's tea room.

"I didn't expect you to get the knife in just one day and night."

She smiled. "But I'm curious how you guessed the 'key' to this trial?"

Baijie raised his right hand and found that he was holding a short knife in it.

This is a short sword with a scabbard. Its shape is similar to a Huaidao, but it is longer than an ordinary Huaidao. It can be said to be a short sword with a slightly longer blade.

"I'm just guessing."

Bai Jie, who was holding the knife, fell into deep thought as he muttered to himself when asked this question.

"From the very beginning, Lord Lake Master, you never told me that this trial required me to defeat the evil Serpent King... To be honest, even if I obtained the body of the Spear Saint, it wouldn't work, so I never considered it from the beginning."

Even if he had mastered the body of the Spear Saint, he was still unable to wrestle with the Great Demon King in his dream.

Naturally, Bai Jie did not harbor such illusions. He carefully pondered Xue Yasha's words and judged that in this trial, he did not need to actually defeat the great demon king.

Moreover, the will of the Spear Saint also reminded him, telling him that "compared to defeating this guy, it should be more important for you to seize the sword."

"There's no need to defeat the Great Demon King. All we need to do is find an opportunity to seize the Feng Mo Wan, the demon relic."

He continued, "However, wanting to take the weapon from the Snake King is itself a fantasy..."

The Scorpion King could split the earth and break the rocks and mountains with just a wave of the knife in his hand. It is impossible to fight him head-on without being a true Spear Saint. Even when the Spear Saint used the spear technique that could touch the "field of stillness", he was unable to kill this guy completely. This shows how exaggerated this monster is.

So, how to snatch the long sword held by the Snake King? It shouldn’t be so easy to get the sword.

No, at the critical moment, he suddenly had another idea. You know, this dream trial was proposed by that Snow Yasha Princess. The previous "trials" she had asked him to participate in were all somewhat roundabout designs -

"To break this situation, brute force is definitely not the way to go. My strength is limited, and Yuki Yashahime knows this. Successfully passing this trial feels like a brain teaser, requiring the use of my brain..."

Brain games?
That means limiting the restriction to how to seize the sword... Seize the sword? Speaking of which, the Snake King seems to have three swords. Wait, why three swords, and why is one a short sword?

All the information in his mind gathered together. Bai Jie calmed his restless heart and forced himself to concentrate.

There are three swords, one of which the King of Snake Ghosts calls "Feng Mo Wan", and the other is a long sword with a pearl-colored blade, which should also be a precious sword, but its quality is far inferior to "Feng Mo Wan".

"Could this be a scam... Why did the Snake Ghost King deliberately tell me that it was the Fengmo Pill? At least when he pulled out the second knife, the demon king didn't explain..."

As his thoughts gathered together, he came up with an idea. It was not really reasoning, but more like a brain teaser - could it be that two of the three swords were confusing, and the real Fengmo Pill was not the two swords held in the Demon King's hands, but the short sword that had never been used!

As this thought came to his mind, Bai Jie was also stabbed by the tip of the demon king's knife. While his chest was pierced, he endured the pain and reached out to grasp the handle of the dagger.

In an instant, Baijie felt the pulsation of power, which was a wave coming from the dagger, the power of this knife.

"In the end, I guessed it right."

Baijie expressed his thoughts, and the lake master nodded after listening.

"Indeed, the point of this trial is to retrieve the knife, not to defeat the Snake King... After all, that demon king has already been defeated. If the trial is to defeat the demon king again, then there is no point."

The Lake Master explained, "On the other hand, this dream wasn't about the Scorpion King. It was a dream shared by the soldiers, demon exorcists, victims, and spear masters of the past battlefields... The purpose of this trial was simply to allow those who come after them the opportunity to reclaim the Demon King's relic."

Trials were never meant to "embarrass others," but rather to screen the right candidates. Yuki Yashahime knew this well, and one of the more important reasons she considered having Baijie participate in the trial was because she was certain he was the right person to receive the Fengmowan.

"Besides, I didn't expect 'her' to help. I originally thought 'her' was indifferent to the outside world, but I didn't expect that when it came to someone who had learned her spearmanship, she would still pay attention to it..."

Princess Yuki Yasha knew very well that it was the will of her former friend, the Spear Saint himself, who had blocked the Scorpion King's fatal attack, "Tianwai Li Niye".

Oh~~ As expected of "her", she would be particularly concerned even for those who have only learned her moves. Although she appears to be indifferent, she is actually the type who dotes on her disciples.

Princess Yuki Yasha knew very well that one of the regrets in her life was that the spearmanship school she passed down was cut off due to an accident. From the perspective of a god like the Lake Master, that incident was simply the destruction caused by the descendants of "her" who brought it upon themselves, and had nothing to do with "her", the ancestor.

However, it was a heavy blow to "her", and later a traitor appeared among her successors. She became disheartened and stopped teaching her spear skills to outsiders.

This dream originally belonged to her, a part of her past. She must have realized that the dream had changed in some way and came to take a look. Only then did she notice that Baijie had learned her spearmanship and she wanted to help him.

That move was difficult to dodge, but it was not impossible if it was done by the Spear Master himself.

In other words, Baijie was able to obtain the Fengmo Pill because he was recognized by the Spear Saint. This was the "qualification" to form a relationship with the Spear Saint. If he did not have this qualification and did not have "her" consent, then in order to obtain this qualification in this dream, he must first be the "disciple" of the Spear Saint.

"Perhaps I should call him a second-generation disciple..."

The lake owner smiled slightly in his heart.

"correct."

She then spoke to Bai Jie, "Regarding the usage of Fengmo Pill, I also want to explain to you. Although this short knife is called a demon sword or a demon weapon, in essence, it is a treasure forged by the Demon King himself.

If you only regard it as a weapon, you are completely wrong. Its true function is much more complex than that of ordinary weapons. The role it can play varies depending on the user. "

"is it?"

Baijie also looked puzzled as he held the short knife.

"I've also been thinking, this knife is really too short. Once I get it, how on earth am I supposed to use it?"

"Okay, I'll explain it to you."

Yuki Yashahime smiled and explained, "What is the true nature of Omomawan? It is actually a deadly poison."

At this point, the Lake Master felt that his explanation was not quite accurate, and changed his words: "No, it's not right to say it's poisonous. It can be said to be part of the 'qi' that makes up all things in the universe."

She coughed a few times and her voice became low.

"It's just that this energy possesses a certain characteristic, a power that is harmful to one type of being, but beneficial to another. We also call this power the 'Karma of the Devil, Demon, and God.'"

"'The Karma of the Devil, Demon, and God'?"

Baijie suddenly fell silent and thought for a few seconds.

"Judging from its shape, it's just a short sword. What does this have to do with the 'Devil Demon God' you mentioned?"

"To put it bluntly, this is one of the crystallizations obtained by the Snake Ghost King after condensing this power."

Princess Yuki Yasha said calmly, "The scorpion transformed its eyes, claws, and stinger into five secret treasures. Each of these treasures has a different function. Each one you obtain will grant you a portion of the demon king's power."

"So, the power possessed by Omowan is not complete?"

"Not completely, but as long as you can use it flexibly, it will be quite effective against those Yellow Springs Fiends."

Snow Yashahime added, "However, the method of using Fengmowan is quite special. For ordinary people, it is very difficult to use this magic treasure, but your words complement each other perfectly."

What do you mean?
Just when Baijie was suspicious, the lake owner told him the truth and told him in detail the "usage" of Fengmo Pills.

"what?"

He was stunned: "Master Lake Master, you are not kidding!?"

"I'm not kidding. This is the only way you can use this demon treasure... Think about it carefully. This item was originally used by demon kings and demons. As a human, you can only use it this way."

Yuki Yashahime made a promise.

"Believe me, there's no problem—"
