Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.50 - 19 Minutes of Exhausting

Fu Chen managed to reach for the sword lying among the puppets. Yet a punch instantly shot out as he had just set foot. Fu Chen who had expected the attack immediately brushed off and kicked the head of the puppet that attacked him.

Fu Chen frowned as the puppet's head did not detach, it only spun a few times in place. At the same time, a swift gliding arm was eyeing Fu Chen.

Fu Chen parried with his sword. And smash another arm that came simultaneously. The result of Fu Chen's attack was only a crack on the puppet's arm.

Because Fu Chen managed to make the two puppets unable to move for a few seconds. His movements became a little more free-ranging, with the science of Fu Chen's Shadow Dance kicking the backs of some of the motionless puppets. With the intention of destroying them.

Although Fu Chen's kick was quite powerful, but the result was only a crack. Fu Chen frowned again realizing that. "What the fuck?! Isn't the spine their weakness?"

Fu Chen's sigh, which made him slightly off guard to the point of not realizing one other puppet had come to unleash an extremely powerful punch.

Fu Chen bounced five meters away from where he originally stood. Dozens of arrows also directly pointed at him. Fu Chen did not dodge, he managed to fend off some of the arrows but some of them managed to tear off Fu Chen's clothes.

"This is not the same as the elder said!" Fu Chen grumbled a little.

He forgot the important point of this test, which was to test his fighting intuition. Which meant Fu Chen's understanding in assessing the circumstances and finding a way out in the test at this place. This exam was actually not too difficult, but because of the actions of elder Mao. Everything becomes changed.

The puppets inside Fu Chen's hall were currently on par with a middle-stage second-rate swordsman. Something troublesome enough for Fu Chen to conquer, coupled with the cooperation with the secret weapon that appeared made this test feel impossible.

Even so, Fu Chen was trying to remain calm. If he could not destroy the puppet in the same way as before. Then he just needed to destroy all parts of the doll.

Fu Chen was quite confident in his sword science. In addition, he had done a combination with Shadow Dance science that made his movements faster.

"It's been 16 minutes and he can still endure such pressure? I can't imagine what he would be like if he were on the actual battlefield" receptionist Shi commented.

He could not remember how many disciples had survived at the same test level as Fu Chen. It can be calculated by the number of fingers on the hand. Or even no one had ever done the same exam as Fu Chen during his time in administration.

Different with Shi who gave his comment. Elder Mao could only glare at Fu Chen while biting his thumb fingernails. Because two of his precious dolls had been crushed into small pieces. Elder Mao slightly regretted his decision to make things difficult for Fu Chen.

While Tao Lin also did the same with his teacher. But the content of both minds is inversely proportional. He was envious because Fu Chen had a formidable opponent, according to him.

Fu Chen's clothes had been chipped into camp because of the many secret weapons he had to avoid. His breathing began to be irregular, his face also looked riled up as he continued to sharpen his gaze.

After destroying the two elder Mao's beloved puppets. He realized something was disconnected from the dolls. Fu Chen guessed it was a kind of qi thread controlling the puppets. It was just that Fu Chen was unable to ascertain the location the thread came from.

Fu Chen had thought the threads were coming from above, but when he tried to throw a dagger there. The dagger was reflected back, it turned out that up there was also a kind of barrier wall.

The longer the Examination lasted, Fu Chen increasingly controlled the battlefield even though the secret weapons that appeared were also increasing in number. It almost filled a quarter of the hallway. And that doesn't mean he can avoid everything.

"I wouldn't be able to survive like this!" Fu Chen complained while jumping up and down the barrier wall. The wall turned out to also make Fu Chen reflected as well as the weapons there. Fu Chen had been shocked earlier because he had accidentally stepped on it.

"Where? Where?!" Fu Chen glanced back and forth while avoiding the secret weapon that was pointing at him.

"I have to end this quickly!" Fu Chen went back to eyeing one of the puppets so he could get a clue. Using the Shadow Steps science, Fu Chen slipped behind one of the puppets.

"Hiroshi First!"

Fu Chen chopped up the puppet before him into small pieces. The next second, Fu Chen felt a stream of qi moving upwards. Fu Chen only realized that there was some kind of small gap in the barrier wall through which the qi flow was.

Taking advantage of the surrounding terrain, Fu Chen darted like a bullet and aimed for a small crack in the barrier wall above him.

"Geeha!"

Fu Chen shouted for a moment before he stuck his sword into the small hole he saw. When Fu Chen's sword hit it, it was like being sucked into a hole. Fu Chen was powerless to resist, he had to let go of the sword and make himself fall to the floor.

Fu Chen's eyes widened as he saw that the sword had already been sucked out. Nothing's going on. He could even still hear the hiss of secret weapons splitting the air. He had wrongly guessed that it was a loophole to stop this test.

Fu Chen did not move from his place, he had already given up. If with a sword alone he was still in trouble, then what about his current condition? Even his qi was not much left.

Elder Mao, Tao Lin and receptionist Shi were surprised to see him. Their eyes widened at the same time.

"Has he fallen?!"Elder Mao was stunned, but not for long, "Quick turn off!" The earliest elder Mao awakens immediately telling receptionist Shi to end the exam.

"B-well!" Receptionist Shi Gurgapan. He immediately pulled a kind of lever beside him.

"Is this over?" Moan Fu Chen, slowly. After hearing the sound of sharp objects falling.

"You okay?" Tao Lin asked a little worried about the junior he had just known this morning.

"Do I look like that?" Fu Chen asked back in a limp tone.

Tao Lin smiled foolishly while scratching his non-itchy cheeks.

"Don't Worry. Eat this! The pills will help you heal." Elder Mao gave Fu Chen a light green colored pill. He felt the need to look good in front of this child.

"Impressively.." Fu Chen swallowed the pill in one gulp. "How long will I last?" Fu Chen asked again, feeling curious about the results of his test.

"You only lasted 19 minutes. But it was a good achievement because elder Mao asked me to raise the level of his exam to a certain level" explained the receptionist.

Elder Mao coughed softly hearing him, he then glanced towards receptionist Shi.

"19 minutes yes.it even felt so long inside there," Fu Chen murmured as he pondered over what had happened while he was inside the passageway.
