After choosing the [Supreme] difficulty level, can he still compete on the same stage with Jiang Nalan and Zuo Qingtian?

How did he do it?

If it weren't for the shocking trial before the challenge commenced, Ju Zuojing might have thought Lin Guang was a lucky person who, relying on luck and the real man's tactics, managed to restrain the Demon King by chance. This ranking reflects the true level of his choice of a lower difficulty, but the reality is clearly otherwise.

Unable to conclude, Ju Zuojing shook his head. It's meaningless to think about these things now; what's important is to seize the inheritance.

The Ju Family is not a noble family but just a clan that had a real man before, and the only real man in the family is already old.

He's like a treasure given by heaven, and from birth, he's been the hope for the Ju Family as the next patriarch.

As long as he captures the complete inheritance of a Six-Star Peak warrior, the family's inheritance will double, perhaps giving the chance to become a noble family and stabilize the inheritance.

He wants to repay the family and lead the Ju Family to new glory!

Feeling his Spiritual Power slowly recovering, Ju Zuojing's expression turned solemn again.

Although he is currently in first place, he is not far ahead of the three behind him. If his luck is bad and he encounters an unfamiliar or weak Spirit Pattern type, he might lose his leading position.

He must fully exert himself.

[Hour of Rooster has arrived]

In an instant, fluctuations spread from the compass, and Ju Zuojing released a seven-meter long, ink-purple-scaled Dragon Beast from his Sea of Spirit.

Its back had many tumor-like swellings, with invisible toxic gas faintly rising around it.

With the appearance of this [Rotting Poison Dragon], the invisible force field nearby intelligently expanded, providing it space to move.

Ju Zuojing frowned slightly: "Still not fully recovered?"

—— It might be due to special rules in the Secret Realm. After the trial started, the restoration function of the Spirit Beast was significantly suppressed. Even feeding it Beast Meat containing a lot of energy, the Ether recovery for the [Rotting Poison Dragon] remained minimal.

"Roar…"

"No, it's okay. You've worked hard." Ju Zuojing looked into its dark yellow eyes, "Please."

It opened its broad dark red wings and nodded, and its tail, resembling a bone spear, reached Ju Zuojing's hand, secreting a lump of crystalline, large-ether-concentration purple sludge.

Taking a deep breath, Ju Zuojing stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed, fully activating [Opposing Tune]; the originally weary expression quickly disappeared from his face, with purple aura and glow rising again, becoming radiant.

Understandable.

Sustaining [Opposing Tune] and [Poison of Activation] for days and nights at a Three-Star level would have long-term impacts on the body and even the Sea of Spirit, being detrimental to subsequent trials and the career of a Spirit Master.

But if he can obtain the inheritance of a Six-Star Peak warrior, this loss is entirely acceptable.

The [Rotting Poison Dragon] was also ready, as the purple mist slightly expanded, encompassing Ju Zuojing.

After thoroughly preparing, Ju Zuojing once again invested his spirit into the Inheritance Compass.

Suddenly, the spirit pattern projection in the compass appeared once more.

This time, the complexity of the spirit pattern underwent another qualitative leap, becoming intricate enough to make ordinary people dizzy at first glance. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding void seemed to ripple slightly.

Seventh obstacle.

—— As expected, it's a Three-Star Spirit Pattern.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Lin Guang was currently sitting with his three partners, in front of a small fire.

While chewing on the roasted meat Lisa had cut with her light saber, he watched the compass.

At this moment, four spirit patterns had already been drawn on the corner of the compass, proving he had just passed 4 obstacles under the supreme difficulty.

The silver-haired girl tore off a large piece of roasted meat with one bite, her cheeks bulging.

After swallowing the meat, she looked at Lin Guang who hadn't spoken, sighed slightly, and the two red antennae in front of her head drooped low, "So boring, no fights, no experience gained, can't help, just watching…"

Hearing this, the wolf-eared maid's reaction wasn't as obvious, but a trace of helplessness and gloom could be seen faintly in her orange eyes.

After all, feeling useless is always embarrassing.

Lisa, however, pouted slightly, stretched out her little hand and touched the space beside her with invisible resistance, speaking softly.

"Brother Lin Guang, I feel that during our resting time, we can be of some help…"

She had attributes of Spiritual Power, and Lin Guang felt most keenly whenever he drew spirit patterns on the compass with Spiritual Power.

Though Lin Guang hadn't told her, she had faintly sensed that just by consuming Ether to interfere with the external environment, it could speed up Lin Guang's drawing.

"What! Why didn't you say earlier!"

Vishdair and Chelina suddenly perked up, looking towards Lin Guang: "Then what are we waiting for?"

"Hmm, I know, but you guys had better not act… at least not take action while I can still handle things calmly."

"Why?"

Lin Guang began, "Because your consumption is difficult to recover right now."

"You should be able to feel it, somewhat."

The three girls were slightly taken aback.

As he spoke, Lin Guang's Eye of Omniscience and Omnipotence flashed with light.

In the status bar of the three partners, there was a line of mysterious text that appeared at some unknown time.

[Status: Inheritance Restriction]

[Effect: Ether and injury recovery speed significantly reduced]

But Lin Guang's own panel had none of it.

Prohibit healing, prohibit recovery… Such special restrictions surely imply something.

An inheritance left by a powerful figure wouldn't have meaningless arrangements.

Thus, Lin Guang was almost 100% sure that the upcoming trials would definitely have situations causing contractual partners significant consumption, even injuries.

Lin Guang solemnly said: "I guarantee that your status is crucial for the upcoming trials."

"…"

Vishdair paused, feeling somewhat frustrated: "Then falling far behind in the first obstacle, does it affect future matters?"

"That's nothing to be worried about."

Lin Guang reached out, adjusted the slightly windswept messy silver hair of hers, gazing again at the compass in his hand:

[Introduction: The key to the inheritance of Celestial Ladder Mountain, there are some damages inside the compass, it seems to possess the ability to repair automatically, but certain conditions must be met to trigger]

[4/6]

Nothing different from before in the introduction, just a count appeared below.

It matched the number of obstacles Lin Guang had overcome.

"If my estimation is correct, a turnaround is near."

After speaking, Lin Guang quickened his pace in chewing and swallowed the roasted meat into his stomach, feeling about seventy percent full, then closed his eyes.

——The consumption of Spiritual Power was not small; he needed to restore his state quickly.

The mountain wind was somewhat piercing, and the environment on Celestial Ladder Mountain was not as good as at home, but Lin Guang quickly entered a near deep meditation state.

Seeing him begin to rest, the three girls quietly leaned close to him, wanting to accompany him in resting.

However, just then.

Chelina, Vishdair, and Lisa suddenly felt a peculiar sensation in their hearts, sweeping their eyes around spontaneously.

It was as if…

Someone was watching them.

Yet after scanning for a while, they found nothing and could only let go.

...…

An hour later, Lin Guang woke up, opening his eyes.

He could sense the three partners had returned to the Sea of Spirit on their own.

He immediately activated the Inheritance Compass again.

Just as Lin Guang predicted, the projection on the compass was a Two-Star spirit pattern, and this time the spirit pattern graphic projected was much smaller than last time, the perception was also fuzzier, like poor signal, needing a bit more concentration of Spiritual Power to perceive clearly, further increasing the difficulty.

The cold and hard stone, along with the howling mountain winds at his ears, but Lin Guang wasn't affected much,

as he gazed at the projected spirit pattern, he then opened his hands.

Those long and fair, distinctly knuckled hands gleamed suddenly with a beautiful light.

In the next moment, Lin Guang quickly entered a meditation state and started drawing the spirit pattern in the center of the compass.
