Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1474: 1433: Level 3

Chapter 1474: Chapter 1433: Level 3

“I’ve noted it, everyone! I’ve found a way to defeat her, please wish me luck!”

Lu Chuan shouted, and the crowd responded in unison. Old Mu waved his hand casually, and the Golden Luster Stick enlarged dramatically, seemingly enough to connect the heavens and earth, smashing heavily towards the Tower Spirit with an unstoppable force.

Yun Yan soared into the sky, her nine tails swaying behind her, her eyes emitting a sharp light, enveloping the Tower Spirit!

Li Yingnu dashed forward with her Yingming Red Tassel Spear, riding the wind, the tip of her spear pointing straight at the Tower Spirit!

In an instant, dozens of people unleashed their full strength, revealing all their trump cards. The Tower Spirit’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and immediately tried to counter with the Demon Suppression Pagoda. But Lu Chuan seized the opportunity to summon the Demon Suppression Pagoda to collide with it, soaring skywards and flashing to the front of the Tower Spirit!

“Behind the left ear…”

Seeing Lu Chuan charging fiercely, the spiritual power inside the Tower Spirit surged, transforming into wave after wave of impact, trying to sweep Lu Chuan away. Lu Chuan simply summoned both arms and clapped heavily, and the Precepts took effect.

“No spiritual power allowed here!”

The torrent of spiritual power was nullified, Lu Chuan rushed forward, grabbing the collar of the Tower Spirit with one hand, and stabbing sharply with the Hokuzo Kuniyasutuna in the other, but a crisp sound echoed out, and the Tower Spirit’s face suddenly turned pale!

In the next moment, the Tower Spirit’s body seemed like a porcelain doll, showing cracks, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, it exploded into a blood dance, scattering with the wind!

Seeing this, Lu Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, his physical and spiritual power completely exhausted, allowing himself to crash into the sand.

“It’s finally… dealt with.”

If Lu Chuan hadn’t taken a gamble and successfully learned her weakness from the Tower Spirit, no matter how hard they fought, they would have been doomed.

But then again, the Tower Spirit disguised itself as Kong Zhaozhao, lurking beside him, so where is the real Kong Zhaozhao?

Lu Chuan expanded his perception ability, finally capturing the aura of Kong Zhaozhao some thousand miles away.

After a bit of adjustments, Lu Chuan successfully reunited with Kong Zhaozhao. Upon seeing Lu Chuan, Kong Zhaozhao’s tears flowed like a fountain, and she jumped into Lu Chuan’s arms.

“Lu Chuan!”

“It’s alright, it’s over, it’s dealt with.”

Lu Chuan sighed, feeling helpless inside.

After all, Kong Zhaozhao couldn’t use any power, even if she could, how could she, a Nascent Soul Realm, counter the Tower Spirit?

Thinking of how Kong Zhaozhao had been bullied, hiding all the time after entering the Secret Realm of Wordless Book, Lu Chuan found it a bit amusing…

“The Treasure Presentation Realm has also been cleared, it’s fine.”

“I… I couldn’t help with anything, only made you worry.”

“It doesn’t matter, I’m indifferent to anyone else, and besides, this time was relatively easy.”

After comforting Kong Zhaozhao, Lu Chuan cleaned up some remaining forces, and the page finally appeared, with some obscure ancient text floating on it. Lu Chuan deciphered the meaning, indicating that the third challenge is named the Emotional Tribulation Realm.

Upon seeing this name, Lu Chuan inwardly thought it was bad, and the following explanation made his head ache even more.

The page rambled on, but the basic meaning is that in this final Emotional Tribulation Realm, only those without emotions can pass; those with emotions can never pass.

This is just unreasonable.

Does Lu Chuan have feelings for Kong Zhaozhao?

Of course, he does.

After all, after spending so much time together, meeting for hours daily, chatting endlessly, saying there isn’t even a hint of emotions would be too hypocritical. But Lu Chuan can temporarily erase his emotions using the Thief’s Gourd, so it’s not a problem.

But what about Kong Zhaozhao?

Does she have feelings for him?

Lu Chuan felt she probably does.

“This third challenge…”

Lu Chuan sighed lightly and turned to Kong Zhaozhao.

“How do we deal with this? You shouldn’t possibly have feelings for me… After all, think about it, I’m the number one enemy of your Penglai Immortal Domain.”

“I… I don’t know.”

Kong Zhaozhao lowered her eyes, lightly biting her lip with her teeth.

Seeing this expression, Lu Chuan thought things were not good.

If there were no feelings, she could simply say so, but she just had this expression…

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have come.”

Kong Zhaozhao felt increasingly regretful and guilty.

It was bad enough that she couldn’t help, but now she was directly becoming a burden to Lu Chuan.

“It’s not your fault; no one knew this third challenge would turn out to be so eerie.”

Lu Chuan felt this situation seemed intentionally targeting him!

But now, they couldn’t worry about anything else. The portal opened, leaving no room for Lu Chuan and Kong Zhaozhao to think, and they were forcibly sucked into the Third Realm.

After a dizzying spin, Lu Chuan and Kong Zhaozhao landed steadily. Lu Chuan immediately surveyed the surroundings; oddly enough, there were no enemies, and the magic artifacts on them worked normally. It seemed this Third Realm was not that dangerous.

The surrounding environment was unfamiliar to Lu Chuan, but Kong Zhaozhao seemed very familiar with it.

“This is… my home?”

“Your home?”

“Yes… I lived in a place like this with my father and mother before I was struck by the Frost Drum. This path is very familiar to me.”

By turning left at the shady path ahead, one could see a wooden house, a place that holds some of Kong Zhaozhao’s limited childhood memories.

But why would such a scene appear here?

Lu Chuan extended his perception power; there wasn’t a hint of aura around, clearly showing that the solution to the puzzle lies within that wooden house.

“Let’s go over first, anyway.”

“…Okay.”

Kong Zhaozhao nodded slightly and stepped in front of Lu Chuan, walking down the shady path. This scene was exactly the same as her memory, even the slightly muddy ground was almost perfectly recreated before her eyes.

But Kong Zhaozhao’s mood couldn’t be considered light.

Actually, she knew her own feelings; how could she not be aware?

If she had no feelings for Lu Chuan, she wouldn’t have agreed to let him take her to the Secret Realm, staying by his side.

But it seemed that now this feeling had become a hindrance to Lu Chuan…

As her thoughts churned, Kong Zhaozhao didn’t notice the oddity around them, until Lu Chuan came to his senses and wondered aloud: “Um… Zhaozhao, was the path this long when you were little?”

They’d been walking for nearly fifteen minutes now, and at their speed, they should have covered over ten miles by now, yet they hadn’t even rounded the corner, let alone seen the wooden house—there wasn’t even a shadow in sight.

With Lu Chuan’s comment, Kong Zhaozhao finally realized the issue.

“It wasn’t like that at all; even when I was only four or five, I could walk through quickly…”

“Then it seems this is the trial of the third challenge. Tsk, who knew it would take this form? It’s really nasty.”

Lu Chuan never feared visible enemies, no matter how strong, as he would eventually find a way to defeat them.

But now?
