Chapter 108: Chapter 84: Sixth Rank Soul Armor and Great Dream Spring and Autumn_2

"Crash~"

The table instantly scattered into a heap of parts.

"A hybrid talismanic mechanical beast, to make something like this, you really are a genius," Zhao Xing muttered to himself while sifting through the fragments.

Soon, Zhao Xing found a silver-white bead among the parts.

[Transformation Pearl: Special Item]

[Can transform into one of the last ten people contacted.]

[Transformation Limit: Spirit Bridge Perfection]

"It’s you."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly.

Then he crushed the bead.

As the bead was crushed, a series of light shadows appeared before Zhao Xing’s eyes.

Xue Wenzhong, Chen Shijie, Zhao Ruide, Zhao Zheng, Mrs. Cai... wait, not Mrs. Cai!

Zhao Xing was startled when the light shadow paused on Mrs. Cai.

He immediately focused his mind on the image of Chen Shijie.

Fortunately, the light shadow moved on and settled on Chen Shijie.

"Buzz~"

The light shadow condensed and formed, and Chen Shijie appeared in front of him.

"Phew~" Zhao Xing let out a sigh of relief.

The character formed by the special item, the Transformation Pearl, would be completely based on the user’s impression in their mind.

In other words, the character’s strength, personality, and relationship with the user would all be restored.

What if the last ten people contacted were enemies?

Then the transformed character would not be a helper but rather a hindrance who would also attack the user.

Among the last ten people Zhao Xing had contacted, only Old Chen matched his criteria.

The next challenge required a certain level of combat ability to get through the trap-filled maze.

If he had ended up with Mrs. Cai, he could have declared his challenge a failure immediately.

"What’s going on with you, why are you in this strange place? Hmm? Why are your eyes blind?" Chen Shijie curiously asked as soon as he appeared.

"Don’t ask, Old Chen, just help with the work quickly."

This was obviously not the real Chen Shijie but a manifestation based on Zhao Xing’s impression of him.

"What did you call me?" Chen Shijie frowned.

"Mr. Chen," Zhao Xing quickly corrected himself, "please help me out, Mr. Chen."

"Hmph, that’s better." Chen Shijie turned around and started to clear the way for Zhao Xing.

....

Chen Shijie exhibited the strength of an eighth-grade practitioner. With his help, the challenge progressed much faster as he mastered multiple mid-level perfected spells.

His reactions, wisdom, and adaptability were all exceptional.

As for whether the real Chen Shijie was this powerful,

Zhao Xing did not know, but he guessed Old Chen was really this strong, maybe even stronger than he imagined.

Deep down, he truly believed Chen Shijie was at least of eighth-grade strength.

Based on their conversations, the knowledge Chen Shijie shared was not something a ninth-grade practitioner could possess.

Though Chen Shijie claimed to be the Geographical Advantage Sect Minister of Agriculture, his understanding of other spells was profound. The Military Minister of Agriculture Officer was a well-rounded position, and Old Chen was an exemplary figure in this regard.

"If Old Chen in reality was this powerful, why would he take such a low-level post in Nanyang County?"

Zhao Xing looked at Old Chen’s back, then swiftly crouched down.

Ahead, Chen Shijie was bombarded by seven successive traps that had been triggered.

"Cough, cough... What a lousy place, why are there so many traps?" Chen Shijie emerged from the smoke, his hair disheveled, coughing incessantly.

Zhao Xing glanced ahead, then patted Chen Shijie’s shoulder as he walked past him, "Thanks, Old Chen."

"You little... you dared to call me... "

Chen Shijie bristled, but before he could finish, he dissolved into a beam of light and vanished.

Zhao Xing stepped into a circular room ahead.

The surrounding light dimmed, and various doors flashed before him.

"Five Elements Positions, Qian Gate in, Kun Position out."

Zhao Xing observed for a moment, entered through the Qian Gate, and indeed emerged from the Kun Position, returning to the room.

One door disappeared, but a new one soon appeared.

And there were different changes.

One door flickered with lightning, and electricity spread into the room like tendrils.

A golden sword slowly protruded from another door, forcing Zhao Xing to move.

Zhao Xing glanced at the door spewing fire.

"Seizing fire, seeking a slim chance of survival."

Then he dashed into the flaming door.

The next moment, he was back in the room.

This time the surrounding light doors rotated again; beastly roars resounded from behind the doors.

Zhao Xing carefully discerned for a moment.

He smiled at one of the doors, "Qilin roar, auspicious beast at the door."

Then he stepped into the light door.

The next moment, Zhao Xing was back in the room.

This time, only four light doors remained.

Still rotating, but the aura they emitted became much softer.

"Spring, summer, autumn, winter, the Four Seasons Doors."

"The last hurdle."

"Spring Gate in, Autumn Gate out."

"A thought of spring and autumn, like a dream and illusion."

Zhao Xing stepped into a green light and then emerged from a golden light door.

"Buzz~"

The surrounding anomalies disappeared, dense fog rolled, and Zhao Xing looked up again, now standing before the Xiezhi.

"Student Zhao Xing passed through the Mechanical Maze in less than two hours, rewarded with the sixth-rank Soul Armor Divine Weapon."

Then, the Magic Beast Xiezhi spat out a piece of dark armor from its mouth.

The armor shone with a luster; as it flew over, Zhao Xing stretched out his hand to catch it. The armor instantly flowed over his skin like water, covering his entire body.

"The sixth-rank Soul Armor is an offspring of the peerless Divine Weapon ’Sunrise Sky.’ Though only sixth-rank, its soul protection efficacy is no less than seventh-rank, and it is absolutely indestructible. Fourth-rank attack power is also weakened by ninety percent."

"For attacks below fourth rank, it has a rebound effect on soul-related spells and secret techniques."
