Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.49 - Third Test

Tao Lin came out first before Fu Chen. The boy looks fine until now. He then looked at the passageway where Fu Chen was doing his test. The hallway gave rise to signs it would open.

Tao Lin smiled faintly looking at him. "He is very strong. Even during my first exam I almost ran out of time to finish."

Fu Chen also glanced towards Tao Lin. The views of the two met, yet none of them spoke. Fu Chen then immediately tidied up his clothes then walked out of the room.

They were taken to another room. The contents in the room were still the same as before, but the hallway in this room looked a few meters wider.

Fu Chen just went straight into one of the hallways there. But when Tao Lin also wanted to enter, he was immediately stopped by elder Mao.

"Lin'er, you better pass the test this time.." Said elder Mao with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Tao Lin tilted his head with a face full of question marks. His mouth is open, about to perotes. But soon cut off by elder Mao.

"You've passed this test a few times. With your current strength, those puppets you will easily destroy. They were slightly more valuable than the previous puppets. It's a pity that they were damaged because of you." Elder Mao said as he cleared his throat.

His words made Tao Lin choke on his own breath. "Teacher's right .. I'm too strong for this test! But why didn't the teacher tell me from the start that I wouldn't have to bother moving my muscles?" Tao Lin grumbled, but he confirmed his teacher's words.

"It's just a formality" said elder Mao, short.

The receptionist who saw him only put on a flat face. "Your disciples are too big a head!" Legally.

elder Mao could only laugh blandly, not trying to refute the speech of the girl next to him. "Your words are always sharp as ever, disciple Shi."

Tao Lin then looked towards Fu Chen, there was something odd in his mind. "Teacher! But why is junior Fu still continuing the examination? Isn't his strength equal to mine?" Ask Tao Lin. He refused to admit that Fu Chen was stronger than him even though he had been defeated.

"Different from you! He had only done this exam for the first time. He should be able to get through it if he wants to become an inner disciple."

Fu Chen could listen to them even though there was some kind of barrier wall in the passageway. One thing he realized was that his opponent was still a puppet.

"Murid Fu, you don't have to destroy the dolls in there! You just need to hold on for 30 minutes. After that, you will pass this test!" Clearly elder Mao.

"You can destroy them to make your exam easier, Junior Fu!" Sahut Tao Lin shouted in front of Fu Chen's hallway.

"Ck! That kid!" The mao elder. If he could, he wanted to push his disciple out so as not to mess up.

"I find you one thing Junior Fu Chen.." Shi finally opened his voice because the pair of teachers and students did not give useful clues. "Test this time to test your fighting intuition. So be careful!"

Fu Chen nodded his head hearing it. The hallway this time felt different from before.

Tao Lin was slightly disappointed by the receptionist girl's words. Though he hoped that Fu Chen would destroy everything there.

Almost a minute had passed since the start of the third exam. But there are no signs that are quite suspicious other than the movement of dolls there that are faster.

Even so, Fu Chen did not lower his guard. Fu Chen also could not attack their backside just like that, these puppet movements were more solid than the second exam.

After almost two minutes, Fu Chen only realized that the movements of the puppets were getting faster. Adding on with their cooperation made Fu Chen slightly cornered.

"What's the test of just increasing their speed?" Fu Chen thought to himself. Because there are still no signs of something coming up.

The arm flew very fast. But just after Fu Chen dodged it, an arrow suddenly shot out from behind the barrier wall, then aimed for Fu Chen's head. Luckily Fu Chen did not let down his guard until he was able to dodge the two surprise attacks. Although he got a slight scratch on his cheek.

Fu Chen jumped quite far from the crowd of puppets. Their number was only five, less than the number during the second exam. But their characteristics are very different.

"So that's it.." Fu Chen gave a faint smile. He finally understood the test this time.

The dolls are like they are connected to each other. They can also coordinate well so that sudden attacks do not hit them. Fu Chen had only understood the reason why the inner disciple should at least have strength above a second-rate intermediate swordsman.

This was because the puppets who were his opponents this time had strength equivalent to a late stage third-rate swordsman.

"I'll be serious this time!" Fu Chen maximized his vigilance. The advantages in terms of speed will be of great help.

However just one step Fu Chen walked over, an arrow instantly snatched towards him. "He! So you're not gonna give me a breath?"

It went hand in hand with each time Fu Chen set foot. Then another arrow will appear and attack him. The transparent wall of the barrier of each hallway is also like a mirror. He bounced every arrow that hit him and then threw it back randomly.

The five puppets there were also not just watching. They attacked Fu Chen with a combination of moves that made it difficult for Fu Chen to move freely. But what made Fu Chen's forehead wrinkle, they moved like they already knew where the secret weapon would appear.

"Damn! There is a dagger too! This is really overkill for a test!" Fu Chen grumbled as his hand was scratched while fending off an attack that came his way. "If I had a gun, it would have been easier!"

Sleepover!

"Huh?" Fu Chen almost choked on his own saliva when he noticed a sword suddenly falling from the ceiling of the room. After he touched on the subject of weapons.

But the problem was, the sword fell right in the middle of the puppets. "Is this a trap?"Fu Chen thought, while trying to dodge the attacks of other secret weapons that were increasing.

"Damn! There is no other choice! I'll think of a way out of there later!" Sizzle Fu Chen then used his Shadow Dance science again.

The movement that made Fu Chen suddenly in the midst of the puppets was part of the third chapter of Shadow Dance science called Shadow Steps. Fu Chen was quite reliable using it as he was already used to the third skill of the Rafting Flow swordsmanship. The two movements are not much different.

But the Shadow Step style has several weaknesses. Fu Chen would at least have to wait up to 30 seconds before being able to reuse it. He was actually quite a bet by entering the area of those puppets.

"Isn't this too hard? Or is junior Fu actually weak?" Tao Lin narrowed his eyes. He felt the difference with the tests he had experienced.

"I did deliberately ask disciple Shi to increase his difficulty. I want to see the limits of the boy's strength." The reason for elder Mao was actually quite simple. He only felt interested in Fu Chen's swordsmanship. And this exam is an effective way for the child to show it again.

"Why didn't the teacher do it for me, too?" Pinta Tao Lin slightly paled.

"No way!" Elder Mao ketus. "I even had to sacrifice three pieces of purple crystals to move them in order to last up to 30 minutes!"

Tao Lin mamayunkan his lips with an annoyed face. "Basic old stingy sir!" He did not dare to say it directly.
