After the time travel, my cheat program disappeared.

A surge of joy welled up inside her, and she lifted her skirt with both hands, saying, "Mind your own business!"

The person who had been bullying him in Nanjun City, who knew perfectly well how important his hair was to him, still kept teasing and mocking him for his shiny forehead.

But... she's being good to herself.

Embarrassed, Ming Zhongqing lifted her skirt and ran up the steps.

On the steps, onlookers who had brought out small stools to eat melons ended up spilling melons all over the ground.

Is this for real...? These two just jogged up there like that?

Especially that Shi Yan, who is only at the Qi Refining Realm, how could he even advance?

It must be that I opened it incorrectly.

The onlookers, who didn't know what to name themselves, looked skeptical and, mimicking Shi Yan's earlier actions, jogged up the steps.

Then--

"Ouch!" He collapsed onto the steps.

The members of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect exchanged glances, looked at each other blankly, and then slowly climbed up step by step.

Those who can climb to this level must be exceptionally talented.

Ming Zhongqing... is blessed with two extraordinary fortunes: "Heaven is jealous of talent" and "Exceptional intelligence".

As for the teacher's words.

She stood in front of the gate of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

The upper limit of a cultivator's talent in this world may only be nine hundred and ninety-nine.

Even Qin Suhuai, the senior sister of the Qinglian Sword Sect, who was as powerful as someone with a naturally strong sword physique, was restricted by this.

As a player who uses cheat codes, the reason why all her attributes—heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain, and marsh, as well as her innate talents and physical constitution—are all 999 is...

The game's maximum limit is 999.

Part 76 The Final Trial? Can't we go easy on them in the final trial? [First Update]

Compared to the huge crowd of onlookers in the square, there were far fewer onlookers lingering in front of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

There were only about a dozen of them, and they all looked at Shi Yan with a disappointed expression.

The master said he knew why.

Climbing these steps is only the beginning of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion's" test. The steps exist only to filter out those cultivators who lack talent, aptitude, and comprehension.

The final trial of "Sword Tomb"...or rather, "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilions" is still the Sword Spirit Girl.

Only by defeating the sword spirit girl in the final trial can one log into the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion" and choose any skill manual of any quality and type to take away.

These people who stayed outside the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

These are the people who failed in the final trial and could only sit on the ground outside the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion," breathing heavily and waiting for the "Sword Tomb" to close.

Turning around, Shi Yan looked behind him.

Shi Jiuzhou, carrying the now docile and pitiful little Pixiu, slowly climbed the steps.

The onlookers below the steps were utterly astonished.

That girl... was even more exaggerated.

She can even bring people up there.

Some people even had a bold idea in their minds, but... feeling the undisguised soaring sword intent emanating from Shi Jiuzhou, they could only abandon the idea in the end.

Shi Yan and Shi Jiuzhou looked at each other.

The girl's gaze towards Shi Yan was soft and gentle, showing no trace of the sword spirit that had previously been curled up in the sky.

But this time... she didn't stand behind Shi Yan, nor did she walk into the Qinglian Sword Sect's ranks.

He simply held the little Pixiu and stood far away on the other side.

Shi Yan seemed to have understood something.

"I'll go first." Standing next to Shi Yan, Ming Zhongqing, whose face still had a blush, took the lead and walked towards the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

"You...you need to watch carefully." She turned to look at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan knew that Ming Zhongqing was not trying to steal the limelight.

She just wanted to be the 'pawn' and test the waters for herself and the group from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect who had just climbed the steps, to see what the guardian sword spirit was up to.

The teacher said he had been kind to her.

The Azure Lotus Sword Sect had been kind to her.

Ming Zhongqing had no choice but to repay a small amount of kindness in this way.

Shi Yan did not stop her; she simply looked to the other side and slowly stepped forward to Shi Jiuzhou.

Ming Zhongqing had already placed her hand on the Pixiu door knocker on the white jade gate of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion". A white halo emanated, and her entire body was directly sucked in.

At the same time, the entire white jade gate made of other mountains and rocks transformed into a scroll screen.

On a huge 'arena', Ming Zhongqing, painted in the style of ink wash painting, is standing on the edge of the 'arena'.

That is "The Immortal's Journey Scroll".

It is said to be... a piece of writing left behind by an immortal a thousand years ago.

Looking at Ming Zhongqing's ink-wash painting style, Shi Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

Even after switching to a traditional Chinese ink painting style, Ming Zhongqing's forehead is still so... 'bright'. The girl's hairline is drawn even higher in "Immortal Journey Scroll".

Shi Jiuzhou slowly walked towards the Pixiu statue on the other side of the white jade gate.

The little Pixiu in the sword spirit girl's arms stared at the Pixiu head decoration with the door knocker on the gate, its cheeks puffed out.

Shi Jiuzhou put down the little Pixiu, glanced at Shi Yan again, and prepared to put his hand on the door knocker.

"Ouch, ouch—"

A voice from the bystanders warned, "Only one person can enter this arena at a time."

Shi Jiuzhou's movements stopped.

She could sense that Ming Zhongqing in the "Immortal Journey Scroll" had already begun preparing his magic.

Shi Jiuzhou didn't mind delaying for a while, allowing Ming Zhongqing more time to prepare.

She even activated the "Immortal Journey Scroll," adding a sun to the scroll.

Because she was someone close to Master Shi Yan, Shi Jiuzhou was very jealous, but... he didn't mind giving her a little leeway.

In the game, Ming Zhongqing is a standard mage.

He was extremely weak and could easily exhaust himself.

But... if she were to prepare properly, the power of Yang Yan could be considered virtually invincible among its peers.

After the sun rose in the scroll, Ming Zhongqing's magic preparations were clearly much faster.

Sensing that Ming Zhongqing's magic was almost ready, Shi Jiuzhou placed her hand on the door knocker on the other side and stepped into the scroll.

The onlookers were stunned.

Let's not even talk about why the guardian sword spirit hasn't appeared for so long.

When... will the arena be able to accommodate two people?

Then--

They then saw Shi Jiuzhou stepping into the ink painting scroll.

The girl's bizarre "maid outfit" instantly transformed into a rather revealing backless robe, exactly like the sword spirit that crushed their confidence in the scroll.

They then realized...

The girl carrying the little girl up the steps was actually the final trial of the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion"! The guardian sword spirit of the pavilion!

So...she and Shi Yan!?

The onlookers all looked at Shi Yan in astonishment.

Even before the "Sword Tomb" opened, many people noticed that these two were exchanging glances. But... what gave him the right?

Only the group from the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, though surprised, were not unexpected.

They had long noticed that although the 'young man' standing there appeared gentle and refined, his sword intent was like a murderous sword standing tall between heaven and earth.

They had only ever felt that kind of fierce and terrifying sword energy from their senior sister.

If Shi Yan's swordsmanship aptitude is comparable to that of the senior sister, it is only natural that the sword spirit 'Shi Jiuzhou' would favor Shi Yan.

Only Long Taoyi's expression slowly became complicated. No wonder... no wonder 'Shi Jiuzhou' would call Shi Yan... "Master".

No wonder she referred to herself as a "servant".

In the scroll—

Shi Jiuzhou stood opposite Ming Zhongqing.

The sword intent was so strong that it seemed to overflow from the painting.

She locked her strength at the same Foundation Establishment Realm Level 6 as Ming Zhongqing.

behind her.

Suddenly, ten thousand swords appeared simultaneously, their shadows swirling, creating an aura that seemed to blot out the sky.

Some of the onlookers were so frightened that they staggered back a few steps, as if they were reliving the terror of being dominated by the sword spirit girl's ten thousand swords.

They seemed to have already foreseen the outcome.

Another girl was defeated by the guardian sword spirit, sadly missing the opportunity to enter the "Thirty-Three Sword Pavilion".

They even harbored a faint sense of anticipation, as if to say... 'See... even someone with such extraordinary talent will end up like us, rejected by the guardian sword spirit.'

The next second—

A girl's clear voice rang out, "Kagerou—"
