Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 112 Analysis! The Mirror of Myriad Manifestations!

Zhu Que followed Director Lin to the eyebrowless man from the Tian Shu Division.

"Hello, there is one more candidate who will be taking the third exam this afternoon," Director Lin said respectfully.

"oh."

The eyebrowless man simply responded with a faint sound, his gaze slowly turning to Zhu Que.

At that moment, Zhu Que was shaken.

I felt as if I had been stripped naked, and this person had seen through me from the inside out.

But strangely, he didn't feel any sense of oppression.

It was as if this eyebrowless man had no spiritual energy fluctuations or imposing aura; he seemed to be just an ordinary person.

wrong.

Zhu Que rejected the idea in his heart. As a member of the Tian Shu Division, how could he be an ordinary person?

He was assigned to guard such a rare spiritual artifact, so his strength must be extraordinary. The reason I have this feeling is because—

It's highly likely that his cultivation level has surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage.

That is—a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage!

"Go in."

The eyebrowless man glanced at Zhu Que once before looking away, seemingly finding him unremarkable.

"OK."

Zhu Que walked towards the Myriad Manifestations Evolution Mirror. As soon as he stepped into it, he immediately felt a strange aura.

"Buzz—"

It was as if the whole world had suddenly been distorted.

A force surged from all directions, like an invisible stream of water, enveloping his body.

The next second, the surrounding environment underwent a dramatic change.

The once bustling square has vanished; the spectators, the arena, and the buildings have all disappeared.

A desolate Gobi desert appeared in his field of vision, with yellow sand swirling in the sky. The sky was gray and hazy, without sun or clouds.

"Whoosh"

The wind howled sharply and piercingly, like the howl of a wild beast.

Gravel hit Zhu Que's face, rubbing against his skin, and the air was filled with a dry, parched smell.

The temperature is very high, at least forty degrees Celsius or above.

Everything felt so real.

"I understand now. So this Myriad Manifestations Evolution Mirror can create a simulated secret realm world."

Zhu Que suddenly realized.

It's incredible that such a realistic secret realm could be constructed. I wonder what conditions were required to create it.

Just then.

Suddenly, distorted tadpole-like characters appeared before his eyes.

[Unknown magical artifact detected!]

[Current parsing progress: 0.001%——————0.002%————0.003%————]

Can this magical artifact be analyzed without physical contact?

Zhu Que was slightly taken aback.

He hadn't expected this magical artifact to be so special.

I didn't even touch it; I just entered it, and that triggered the analysis of the simulated nine-square grid.

And this speed—

Zhu Que glanced at the progress bar and roughly estimated that it would take at least three hours to complete the analysis.

Three hours —

It falls between the second-tier and third-tier spiritual artifacts.

Wait a minute!

Zhu Que suddenly remembered something—

The imitation nine-square grid has been upgraded, and I have also advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining. The analysis speed should also be improved.

In other words, this Myriad Manifestations Evolution Mirror is most likely a third-tier spiritual artifact!

"Strange, such a rare spiritual artifact is only a third-tier spiritual artifact? I thought it was a fourth-tier spiritual artifact."

Zhu Que was somewhat curious.

However, a third-tier spiritual artifact is still very good, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we stay here, we can analyze it.

Just then—

"roar!"

A deafening roar resounded, the sound waves rippled through the air, and a cloud of yellow sand billowed up.

Zhu Que suddenly looked up.

Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in mid-air ahead, gradually becoming real from its illusory appearance.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a strange beast!

Its limbs are thick and its body is covered with jet-black scales that reflect a metallic luster in the dim light.

It is huge, with a ferocious face, resembling an ape, and looks extremely fierce.

"Armored Ape?!"

Zhu Que recognized the strange beast at a glance.

Isn't that the armored ape that the Four Young Masters of Linhe hunted back then?!

"!"

The armored ape landed on the ground, causing the entire ground to tremble.

Its scarlet eyes were fixed on Zhu Que, and a fierce aura emanated from it, sending chills down one's spine.

"I see----"

Zhu Que couldn't help but sneer.

No wonder the Four Young Masters of Linhe organized that hunt, and why they chose the Armored Ape as their target.

It turns out they already knew that the special test question was that the practical test of the college entrance examination would involve fighting against the armored ape.

Therefore, a demonic ape was prepared in advance for practical training during the hunt, so as to get used to fighting it in advance.

"So it turns out that even special college entrance exams can have leaked questions."

Zhu Que muttered to himself.

"roar!"

The armored ape roared and suddenly exerted force with its limbs, charging towards Zhu Que like a heavy truck.

Seeing this, Zhu Que did not hesitate to retreat, his figure flashing as he chose to distance himself from it.

The last time he killed the armored ape, it was in a state of serious injury after being surrounded and attacked by the Four Young Masters of Linhe.

This time, he faced an unharmed armored ape, and this armored ape seemed even more ferocious.

Although Zhu Que is certainly capable of fighting with his current strength, he has no intention of engaging in combat immediately.

He wanted to wait until the simulated nine-square grid was fully analyzed.

This Myriad Manifestations Mirror is so precious that it needs to be personally guarded by the people of the Celestial Pivot Bureau. It must be analyzed no matter what.

In any case, each candidate has three chances to challenge. If the first two attempts take an hour, that will be enough to analyze this magical artifact.

Subsequently, Zhu Que began to dodge and flee across the Gobi Desert, refusing to confront the Armored Ape head-on.

Having gained experience from the chase with Zhan Yunhe, he was extremely agile. Although he looked extremely disheveled, he was actually in complete control.

And so, the man and the beast began a chase game on the desolate Gobi Desert.

outside world.

Everyone was filled with anticipation when they saw Zhu Que begin the third exam.

"Here he comes! He's starting his third test!"

"We can now see his actual combat skill level!"

"The first two points are secondary; real-world application is the most important!"

Everyone was curious about the actual combat ability of this fifth-class candidate who tied for first place with Zhou Yan in the first exam and scored 2 points higher than Zhou Yan in the second exam.

Will he create another miracle and take first place in the third category as well?

On the big screen—

Candidate: Congratulations on missing the third exam item. Exam progress: 0%.

This percentage represents the amount of health points lost by the Armored Ape.

As long as damage is dealt, the progress will increase. If the Armored Ape can be killed, the progress will reach 100%.

So far, however, no candidate has been able to kill the Armored Ape.

Even Zhou Yan only managed to get the progress to 89% before being defeated by the berserk armored ape.

Therefore, no one expected Zhu Que to kill the Armored Ape; they just wanted to see how much progress he could make.

However-

A minute passed.

Progress: 0%

Five minutes passed.

Progress: 0%

Ten minutes have passed.

Progress: Still 0%

Seeing this, people began to be confused.

"What's going on? Why isn't the progress bar moving? Is it broken? Or is the system not updating the data in real time?"

Doubtful whispers began to spread among the crowd.

Director Lin also noticed the anomaly. He frowned slightly and immediately beckoned to the person in charge of the examination room.

"What's going on? Why isn't the data moving?"

"Let me see—"

The person in charge of the examination immediately checked and said with some doubt, "The system is working perfectly—"

Just then.

The progress numbers on the screen suddenly jumped.

It went from 0% to 1%!

"Director Lin, this data is displayed in real time. It should be because Zhu Que did not cause any damage to the Armored Ape, so the progress has been at 0%."

Upon seeing this, the person in charge of the examination room immediately spoke up.

"what?"

Director Lin was stunned upon hearing this, meaning—after more than ten minutes, Zhu Que had only inflicted 1% damage on the Armored Ape?

"Wait a minute, what's going on?"

"Perhaps—his practical combat skills aren't very good?" the person in charge of the examination said.

"That shouldn't be the case—"

Director Lin asked in bewilderment, "His scores in the first two exams were so excellent, how could his performance in the actual test be so poor?"

This is completely illogical. How could someone with such outstanding overall spiritual cultivation and such a strong will and temperament possibly have poor combat skills?

"There have been candidates like this before."

Section Chief Lin explained, "Some people are very talented and have good physical qualities, but they lack practical experience, so they can't perform at their best when it comes to actual combat."

"Zhu Que is very likely this type; although his stats on paper are strong, his actual combat ability is lacking."

Director Lin fell silent. His excitement and exhilaration vanished instantly, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

Could this Zhu Que be just a pretty face with impressive stats?

at the same time.

When the audience in the square saw that the progress bar had reached 1%, they immediately realized that it wasn't a data error, but rather that Zhu Que's progress was just that slow!

The doubts grew louder and louder, and the expressions of the audience who had initially been full of expectations for Zhu Que gradually turned to disappointment.

"This guy is terrible in actual combat."

"Their scores in the first two areas were so high, but their actual combat ability is so poor."

"Damn it, I got all excited for nothing. I really thought a genius had emerged from the fifth-class candidates."

"I get it, this is a typical case of high stats but poor execution."

'

"The four people next to the arena, Zhou Yan, Shi Mian, Wu Yu, and Wu Youfeng, all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the progress bar."

"This guy is really annoying, he's terrible at real combat."

"You scared me! I really thought we were going to be going to be three to one.

"Fortunately, his numbers only look good on paper."

Guo Youfeng and the other two were all relieved.

Although the candidates who were missing the first two skills were very strong, their practical skills were extremely poor, so they still managed to advance from three to two.

"Alright, stop watching. Since it's still the three of us competing for two spots, let's continue the competition."

Shi Mian and Wu Youfeng returned to the ring.

Zhou Yan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Even if Zhu Que got the admission spot, it wouldn't affect his admission. But if he was surpassed by a fifth-class candidate, he, the "first" who was surpassed, would become the subject of other people's gossip after drinking.

"Fortunately, this worry was unnecessary —"

Zhou Yan muttered something to himself.

however.

Not everyone thinks that way.

VIP seating.

The fifteen university admissions officers were still intently watching the large screen.

They recruit students year-round, so they are well-informed and won't jump to conclusions based on temporary changes.

"Dad, is Zhu Que really bad in real combat? But he was clearly very strong when he fought the kidnappers that day."

Lu Wanning asked in confusion.

"He's probably just playing around."

The mayor said softly.

He certainly didn't believe that Zhu Que was really bad in actual combat.

After all, how could someone who can defeat Zhan Yunhe, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, have poor combat skills?

This doesn't make any sense.

The only explanation is that Zhu Que must have some special reason and is deliberately stalling for time.

auditorium.

"Oh no, could Zhu Que really be lacking in combat skills?" a junkyard worker said, scratching his head.

"Lacks practical combat skills?"

Su Zhen, who had been silent all along, was suddenly amused by this remark.

"If Zhu Que's combat ability is lacking, then Zhan Yunhe, whom he killed, will probably not find peace even in the afterlife."

At this moment, Xiao Cai, Sun Zheng, Tang Ke, and Tang Dongfang all shared the same view.

After all, Zhu Que's record speaks for itself. If his actual combat ability is poor, then what was Zhan Yunhe, whom he killed?

After a while.

Zhu Que's progress on the third exam was slow, reaching 4%.

At this moment, Wu Youfeng and his two teammates continued their round-robin tiebreaker, and the audience's attention was quickly drawn back to them.

Zhu Que's matter was temporarily put aside.

at the same time.

In the hidden Gobi Desert.

Zhu Quezheng and the Armored Ape were having a great time "playing".

He was unaware of and didn't care about what others thought of him. Seeing the resolution progress of the universal diffraction mirror steadily increasing, he felt extremely happy.

But as time ticked by.

The situation in the battle suddenly took an unexpected turn.
