Chapter 1459: Chapter 493: The Gap Between Heroes and Masters, Trial Passage

Moreover, Dragon Speaker had previously informed Cao Xing.

Some individuals with exceptional talents, upon becoming heroes, have a probability of awakening powerful ’Heroic Battle Skills’ or ’Forbidden Curses’.

So…the gap between a hero and a master is indeed significant.

“However, while the Heroic Level is formidable,

only by reaching the Legendary Level can one truly step into another realm.”

“It signifies completing the first step from a mortal onto the path of becoming a god!”

From the skills [Eternal Sin Ice Prison] and [Lizardman Ancestor Statue], one can glimpse how powerful the Legendary Realm is.

Meanwhile.

Assam and Blom had already charged in front of these two Eighth Rank Leader Swordsmen.

Blom roared loudly, activating [Giant Roar] again, forcibly drawing the enemy’s hatred and providing Assam with a good environment for output.

“Puff! Pshk!”

Assam’s Lake Lady’s Sword slashed onto the enemy with one stroke after another, bursting damage numbers of forty to fifty thousand.

Occasionally, a critical hit could even reach one hundred thousand.

Even if these heroic creatures have a blood volume of more than six million, they cannot withstand such terrifying bloodletting from Assam.

Suppressed by the two, the heroic guards also fell into a state of anger.

They swung one sword after another continuously.

A large amount of sword qi poured out like a torrential rainstorm.

These sword qi, upon touching the surrounding stone pillars and walls, triggered violent explosions!

“Boom! Boom!”

The entire underground palace trembled incessantly due to their battle!

Even several stone pillars were directly sliced into pieces.

At this moment, a combat personnel beside Bai Zhi was swept by the sword qi, unable to dodge in time.

A damage of over fifty thousand instantly appeared over his head!

Mercilessly, he was left with just over a hundred health points.

He was almost killed on the spot!

A look of lingering fear appeared on the combat personnel’s face.

Cao Xing quickly said: “Everyone, come behind me, so as not to be caught up in their battle and then get eliminated instantly.”

Upon hearing this, everyone gathered behind Cao Xing.

At the same time, they watched the battle scene ahead with a look of lingering fear.

The terrifying battle was still ongoing.

Assam and Blom endured the storm-like attacks of these two heroic swordsmen and stood firm!

In the place where they stood, the surroundings were covered with sword marks spanning hundreds of meters.

The ground was pockmarked.

The entire underground palace was almost plowed by the fierce battle of these four people!

This also made Cao Xing realize clearly the combat power of heroic-level creatures.

However, Assam often returned a sword to the opponent after taking two attacks.

Then, relying on his robust recovery ability, he wore down the opponent’s blood volume.

Of course, Wei Jianyi and others couldn’t see the recovery numbers above Assam’s head.

They couldn’t even see Assam’s blood volume.

So all they could see was this knight enduring the opponent’s attacks and steadily reducing the life values of the two heroic guards.

Like an undying monster!

Finally, after about seven minutes.

The first heroic guard’s blood volume bottomed out and was slain by Assam on the spot!

The remaining battle became relatively more manageable.

With Blom’s strong defensive power, the two took about three minutes to slay the other heroic guard.

As the enemy’s blood volume hit zero, the body fell powerlessly, turning into a wisp of white smoke and disappearing.

However, Cao Xing did not receive any related kill prompt.

“It seems that even if these summoned creatures are slain, there won’t be any experience value rewards.”

However, Cao Xing saw that after the two Sword Tomb Guardians disappeared, two ancient scrolls fell on the ground.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes turned to the scrolls on the ground.

Although they didn’t know what grade those scrolls were, since they dropped from Eighth Rank Leader-level creatures, they must be quite precious.

And after the battle concluded, Assam expertly picked up the scrolls from the ground.

Then he approached Cao Xing and said: “Lord, please have a look.”

Cao Xing took them over.

[Obtained: Sixth Rank Leader-level Wandering Swordsman Recruitment Scroll*2]

…

“Unexpectedly, it dropped a master-level Recruitment Scroll, and there are two of them at once!”

“Wow, this wave feels quite satisfying!”

After all, a Sixth Rank Leader-level creature already deserves the master title.

Cao Xing basically picked up two powerful combat forces for free.

Just these two scrolls made the trip worthwhile.

And the three people nearby naturally saw the extraordinary items in his hand, their eyes full of envy.

Cao Xing said: “I’m taking these two scrolls; any objections?”

The three nodded one after another, “No objections.”

Even Wei Jianyi nodded calmly.

Though these two scrolls should have belonged to him.

But in this battle, they were basically mere spectators.

So it naturally had nothing to do with him.

Wei Jianyi took out a stone marking from his backpack, with irregular shapes around the edges.

Then he said: “Cao Xing, this is the key to open that door.”

“It was the reward I got from the system the first time I passed the tenth stone room.”

Cao Xing glanced at it and said: “Alright, let’s open the stone gate now.”

Soon, he led everyone to the large gate.

At a glance, he saw a groove in the center of the door, similar in shape to the stone in Wei Jianyi’s hand.

Wei Jianyi approached and placed the stone onto it.

At the same time, a mysterious light emanated from the groove, instantly illuminating the entire underground palace.

It also dispelled the hazy fog in the underground palace.

Moments later, they all sensed a vibration beneath their feet.

“Rumble…”

The heavy stone door slowly rose upward!

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of excitement in their hearts.

Because they were about to finally enter the true inheritance interior!

It was the inheritance of a Sword Saint, at least a Legendary Level creature.

What could be inside, it’s truly intriguing!

After ten seconds or so, the heavy stone door was fully opened.

And ahead lay a wide and deep passage.

The passage inside was pitch black, with nothing visible.

Maintaining some vigilance, everyone entered the passage.

At this moment, Sarah suddenly said: “Lord, there is some writing here.”

Upon hearing this, a dozen pairs of eyes turned towards it.

Indeed, they saw a section of text on the wall of the passage.

[Trial Passage: Length is 100 meters, a trial every 10 meters. Passing all trials allows entry into the true Inheritance Land.]

…

Seeing the content of the text above, everyone had a revelation in their eyes.

“Is this the final test?”

“A trial every 10 meters, ten in total. It seems this Sword Saint went to great lengths to find a suitable Inheritance Land,” Cao Xing lamented.

Meanwhile.

Huge stone doors fell ahead.

“Boom! Boom!”

Ten in succession, completely blocking the passage.

Moreover, the first stone door was precisely ten meters away from them.

Everyone moved forward and saw the large characters engraved on the door.

[First Trial.]

[Please answer the question: What is a sword?]

[You have three chances to answer, three wrong answers will result in losing the opportunity to acquire the inheritance.]
