I Have A Martial Arts Panel Chapter 194 – Passing the Strength Test, Into the Mental Test

Chapter 194: Passing the Strength Test, Into the Mental Test

‘Why does this scene look so familiar…’

Xu Ning suddenly remembered that in the Demon Beast Scroll Mystic Realm, he had encountered a similar assessment in the stone hall of Shi Fengxu’s inheritance.

But that was in the maze, and those black fog monsters were far weaker than the ones in front of him.

‘According to what Feng Changge said, if I want to survive this test, I have to have the combat power of a void realm ninth stage true domain realm martial artist, otherwise I will only be defeated and torn to pieces by these black fog monsters.’

If one was defeated in the strength test, they would die. If one was defeated in the mental test, they would lose their mind and their martial arts foundation would break down. If one was defeated in the aptitude test, it would be relatively safer. Although they would not receive any rewards from that test, they could still get out alive.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The black fog monsters roared and swung their claws as they rushed towards Xu Ning.

In front of this, Xu Ning did not act arrogant at all. He immediately decided to use his bracer to kill these black fog monsters.

“Water Cross Sword, Bright Fire Sword!”

Dense red and blue sword seals spun and slashed around Xu Ning like ripples.

The black fog monsters that were torn apart by the sword seals instantly disintegrated into black fog after letting out a wail.

However, the black fog did not instantly disappear, but instead condensed into black pills.

The surface of the black pills was engraved with distorted lines, alongside traces of demonic qi hovering around it.

‘If I didn’t have a dao weapon, it would have taken a lot of effort to annihilate these black fog monsters, and I might even be injured…’

Xu Ning thought to himself.

With the help of the Water Cross Sword and the Bright Fire Sword, Xu Ning could easily contend against ordinary true domain realm martial artists.

And with a dao weapon on top, he could even challenge a half-step dao realm master.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The red and blue sword seals were like scythes, harvesting the black fog monsters one after another.

The screams of the black fog monsters echoed in Xu Ning’s ears.

Finally, the last black fog monster was dealt with by Xu Ning.

The black fog monsters had completely disappeared into the gray space.

In their place were pills filled with demonic aura floating in the air.

‘Is this the demonic pill that helped Feng Changge advance to a half-step dao realm master?’

Xu Ning took a demonic pill and pinched it in his hand.

When Feng Changge entered Red Sea Demon Lord’s inheritance mystic realm, he had not yet reached the peak of the true domain realm.

He was even required to use all his strength to defeat those black fog monsters.

But after defeating the black fog monsters, he obtained a large number of demonic pills.

Although he didn’t know what the quality of this demon pill was, after swallowing hundreds of demonic pills, Feng Changge immediately advanced to the peak of the true domain realm.

Moreover, the demonic qi in his body surged and his foundation soared.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Changge broke through and became a half-step dao realm master.

…

Discovered 50 units of energy, absorb?

Yes / No

…

‘Only 50 units of energy…’

A notification came from the Martial Arts Panel. Xu Ning felt that the amount of energy was a little low.

‘This unknown demonic pill is probably much more effective for a demonic path martial artist.’

Xu Ning could feel that the energy stored in this unknown demonic pill was more complimentary, and the demonic aura contained in it was actually its true essence.

Strictly speaking, swallowing this demon pill was far more cost-effective than absorbing the 50 units of energy.

But for Xu Ning, he would definitely not choose the former option.

First of all, he was not a demonic path martial artist, so swallowing it might not necessarily improve his realm.

Secondly, if the demonic aura in the demon pill entered his body, and it couldn’t be expelled, he might be negatively affected.

“For me, the best choice is to take these demonic pills and sell them to a demonic path martial artist, then exchange the money for some spirit medicine and medicinal pills to absorb.”

Xu Ning muttered before smiling to himself.

With Xu Ning’s position and knowledge, it was impossible for him to help a demonic path martial artist.

If he did this, the price he would have to pay would be much higher than the money he could get.

‘Since that’s the case, I’ll just absorb these demonic pills.’

Xu Ning didn’t care about the minor details anymore. He just absorbed the 50 units of energy from each pill.

After the energy in the demonic pill was absorbed by Xu Ning, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

Afterwards, Xu Ning put away all the floating pills and absorbed them one by one.

Moments later, all of the demonic pills were absorbed by Xu Ning.

‘In total, there were 600 demonic pills! And after absorbing them, I obtained 30,000 units of energy!’

Xu Ning felt refreshed. This was only the first test, but he had already gained so much.

‘I already have a lot of energy in my reserves. Now, I just have to pass one or two more tests, and I will have 85,000 units of energy!’

It was also now that Xu Ning realized the power of the Red Sea Demon Lord.

For the first test of the mystic realm to provide such an exorbitant reward, how terrifying was he?

Xu Ning suspected that Red Sea Demon Lord might even be a high level dao realm master.

After absorbing the 600 demonic pills, a distorted spatial door appeared in front of Xu Ning.

Xu Ning took a deep breath and walked in calmly.

After entering the distorted spatial door, Xu Ning felt weightless again.

When he regained his vision, he found himself in a sealed room.

There was only a black cushion in the sealed room.

‘This is the second assessment, the mental test.’

Xu Ning knew very well that as long as he sat on the black cushion, an illusion would appear in front of his eyes. It would be as if he had taken a Heart Demon Pill. He would have to undergo a mental assessment in the illusion.

If he passed this test, his spirit would be condensed and his martial intent would be indestructible.

But if he failed, his martial arts foundation would collapse, turning him into a timid person, making it difficult for him to improve any further in the future.

‘Red Sea Demon Lord is a demonic path master, so he must be very sensitive to the human heart.’

When Feng Changge went through the mental test, he almost failed.

This was because the illusion that appeared in front of Feng Changge’s eyes was his experience when he was at his weakest. It was a time that Feng Changge didn’t dare to look back at.

This illusion would hit the test subjects where it hurt most.

“Phew…”

Xu Ning calmed down.

Xu Ning was quite confident in his will.

After living through two lifetimes, his temperament had stabilized, so he definitely had an advantage in this test.

Xu Ning sat on the seat cushion without any more hesitation.

The moment he sat on the seat cushion, Xu Ning felt the surroundings in his vision begin to distort.

Soon, the sealed room surrounding him disappeared and was replaced by the scene of the Tao Village.

‘Is this the Tao Village?’

Xu Ning’s perspective was turned to the third-person perspective, allowing him to observe everything that was happening.

“Sister Lian, Brother-in-law, Tao Tao, pack up and run!”

Xu Ning saw Guo Ye rushing into Xu Ning’s house.

“The enemies from State Hurricane are attacking, and Kangyun County has fallen. A large number of enemies are rushing here. If we don’t escape now, we might not be able to escape!”

Guo Ye was out of breath. He looked panicked.

‘This should have taken place before I returned to State Feiyun…’

Xu Ning knew the background of this scene.

He knew very well that this scene was fake, but for some reason, Xu Ning still felt anxious, as if everything was real.

“What? The enemies are here?”

Tao Yunchuan and Xu Lian walked out of the house. They supported each other with haggard expressions.

Xu Ning noticed that Tao Yunchuan in the scene was still limping.

“Let’s go, otherwise it will be too late!”

Guo Ye urged again.

“Okay, let us pack up.”

Tao Yunchuan turned his head, wanting to enter the house, but then he turned around and asked, “Where’s Tao Tao?”

“Tao Tao went outside the village to play…”

Xu Lian’s expression changed. “We have to find her quickly.”

The expressions of the three people were extremely life-like. Xu Ning felt like his consciousness had fallen into a daze. He couldn’t help but feel everything that was going on.

“Take some of your important belongings out of the village, then bring Tao Tao along and leave!”

Tao Yunchuan said.

Afterwards, with Guo Ye’s help, they brought some belongings and were about to leave the Tao Village.

“Not good, the enemies are coming, run!”

As they were walking in the village, someone suddenly shouted.

“The enemies are here, quickly dodge!”

Guo Ye was looking out for the two of them.

Clop! Clop! Clop!

The sound of galloping horses could be heard.

The three of them were about to hide in the field when they suddenly heard a girl’s cry.

They looked into the distance only to see Tao Tao being grabbed by the collar by a cavalry of the Shadowblood Sect.

“Tao Tao!”

Under a strange and formless influence, the current Xu Ning had already forgotten that everything in front of him was virtual.

He was terrified.

“What are you crying for!”

Tao Tao struggled and cried in the hands of the cavalry. The cavalry seemed to be impatient, and he raised his knife to cut Tao Tao.

At this moment, Tao Yunchuan, Xu Lian, and Guo Ye immediately exited from the farm to rescue Tao Tao.

“Let her go!”

Guo Ye was young so he moved the fastest. He rushed in front of the cavalry and grabbed Tao Tao from his hand.

“Courting death!”

When the cavalry saw this, he slashed at Guo Ye.

Blood flowed down Guo Ye’s back.

“Go!”

Guo Ye pushed Tao Tao towards Xu Lian and Tao Yunchuan.

Guo Ye then fell to the ground and lost his life.

“Guo Ye!”

Xu Ning was heartbroken when he saw this scene.

“Where are you running to?!”

The cavalry caught up with the three of them and slashed at Xu Lian.

“No!”

Xu Ning struggled and roared.

His emotions began to fluctuate.

The scene in front of him suddenly stopped, and the large knife stopped in front of Xu Lian’s forehead.

Xu Ning felt his mental state rapidly deteriorating, as if he was about to break down.

“Uncle.”

Just when Xu Ning was about to fall into the abyss, Tao Tao’s voice suddenly sounded in Xu Ning’s ear.

That call was the first time Tao Tao had called him when he first came to this world.

That call had always been preciously buried in the deepest part of Xu Ning’s memory.

At this dangerous moment, this “uncle” jumped out of Xu Ning’s subconscious.

Xu Ning felt like he had been doused with cold water. He was instantly pulled out of his chaotic state.

“It’s all an illusion!”

Xu Ning regained his consciousness.
