Chapter 155: Xiao Shi’s Tree Shadow (2)

“For example, some people will nurture the tree shadow into a binding type, allowing the entire tree shadow to have a powerful binding ability. Some people will focus on strengthening the piercing sharpness of the tree shadow and turn it into a sharp killing blade that can’t be guarded against!

“There are also people who will nurture the defense of the tree shadow and use them to block some powerful and fatal attacks at critical moments. There are also people who will nurture the vitality of the tree shadows. When they are nurtured to a certain extent, they can even give themselves a second life!

“Different cultivation methods will have different paths. You can choose a path that suits you to nurture.” Cheng Tianhao explained to Xiao Shi patiently.

Xiao Shi nodded. This was also the reason why Shadow Seeds were desired by countless people. It had extremely strong growth potential. Moreover, it could nurture in different directions according to its needs.

However, now was not the time to think about the direction of nurturing.

Xiao Shi looked at Cheng Tianhao. “So, what are the rules here?”

Although these hand guards could not sense the rules, Xiao Shi had already realized that the rules of this place would definitely need him through Cheng Tianhao*s performance.

According to Cheng Tianhao’s initial plan, he should only give him a Shadow Seed. However, he would not give the jade slip. After all, the jade slip itself had extraordinary value. The reason why he was so generous to give out the jade slips was clearly because he needed to use him next. Therefore, he gave him benefits in advance.

“There are different checkpoints inside this ancient tree. There’s an important thing at each checkpoint. Now, this is the first obstacle.

“The rules don’t require us to pass every checkpoint, and we can choose to give up and leave directly. However, if we give up, we won’t be able to obtain the important things at the checkpoint.

“This way, we will be at a huge disadvantage in the final competition for the ancient tree crystal.” Cheng Tianhao said solemnly to everyone.

“In other words, every checkpoint here is actually a process of accumulating advantages. The more checkpoints we pass, the greater our advantage in the final competition for the ancient tree crystal?” One of the hand guards asked.

“That’s right!” Cheng Tianhao nodded. “Therefore, when we reach the core of the final competition for the ancient tree crystal, we have to try our best to pass through every checkpoint and obtain the important items in each checkpoint to maximize our advantage.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

There was not much difference in strength between the five teams. If they fought each other right from the start, it was really hard to say which team would win.

Under the circumstances that every team had to pass these levels, it depended on which team cleared more levels and obtained the most important items. In the final stage, they would have the greatest advantage.

“Then the first stage…”

Everyone looked at Cheng Tianhao.

Cheng Tianhao looked at Xiao Shi. “I might have to rely on Brother Nie for the first round.”

As Cheng Tianhao spoke, many tree spirits suddenly appeared in front of everyone. These tree spirits were comparable to weak tree spirits at the initial-stage Qi Martial Realm and powerful tree spirits at the late-stage Qi Martial Realm.

“In the first round, we need to kill these 100 tree spirits!” Cheng Tianhao said.

Everyone was stunned. With their strength, it was more than enough to kill these tree spirits. It was not difficult. But the problem was the corrosion of the tree spirit’s aura and the declining cultivation after killing these tree spirits.

If it was serious, they, who were at the Major Perfection Qi Martial realm, would all be weakened to the late-stage Qi Martial realm.

This had a huge impact on their entire team.

For a moment, everyone looked at Xiao Shi. Only then did they understand why Cheng Tianhao said that he needed to rely on Xiao Shi for the first round. As the top of the Tree Spirit Killing List, Xiao Shi had already been corroded by the tree spirit’s aura. Even if he killed more tree spirits, it would not affect him much.

If Xiao Shi could kill these tree spirits and clear the level, it was undoubtedly the most beneficial situation for their team.

Xiao Shi was not surprised. From Cheng Tianhao’s previous actions, he had already realized that the other party needed him. Under such circumstances, it was hard for him to refuse. After all, he had taken the benefits.

Although the Shadow Seed was the reward that the other party had promised to give, it did not include the jade slip to refine the Shadow Seed.

Moreover, as Cheng Tianhao’s hand guard, he had the responsibility to help the other party clear the level. Logically speaking, he could not refuse.

“Leave the first round to me.” Xiao Shi agreed immediately. In any case, this was not difficult for him. Instead, after killing these tree spirits, he could obtain the items dropped by them after they died.

“Thank you, Brother Nie!” Cheng Tianhao said gratefully.

The others also felt much better. Previously, they felt a little unbalanced that Xiao Shi could obtain such good treatment from Cheng Tianhao. Now, after seeing the situation of this level, they felt that it was only right for Xiao Shi to receive such treatment.

After all, when faced with such a problem, Xiao Shi would step forward to solve it. At the same time, they thought of a situation.

“Are the checkpoints faced by the other teams the same as ours?”

“If it’s the same, then how will they pass this stage?”

They had Xiao Shi, the first on the Tree Spirit Killing List, who could help them deal with these tree spirits. The other teams did not have someone like Xiao Shi. If they wanted to forcefully pass this level, they would have to face the corrosion of the tree spirit’s aura and their strength would decrease.

Once the Major Perfection Qi Martial Realm cultivators in other teams became late-stage Qi Martial Realm, it would be very beneficial to them. This also made everyone feel Xiao Shi’s huge use in the team again. He directly let them pass the first level without any damage.

“Then, 1’11 leave this round to Brother Nie.” Cheng Tianhao thanked Xiao Shi again.

Considering the speed of clearing the level, Cheng Tianhao decided to bring the others to the next level first. This way, they might be able to quickly pass two checkpoints. After all, even if they stayed here, they would only watch Xiao Shi perform. There was not much meaning. He decided to move on to the next checkpoint.

If they could clear the first two levels at the same time as Xiao Shi, their progress would be much faster.

Xiao Shi nodded. He was also happy to do so. If these people were all here, it would be inconvenient for him to pick up the dropped items after killing the tree spirit.

Immediately, Cheng Tianhao and the others quickly rushed to the next checkpoint. As none of these checkpoints have a requirement to pass, there was no restriction that one had to pass to go to the next level.

They could leave whenever they wanted.

After everyone left, Xiao Shi’s gaze also landed on the many tree spirits in front of him. At the same time, he looked down at the tree shadow below him.

“Then, let’s test the power of the tree shadow first.”

Xiao Shi had a thought. The black tree shadow under him immediately moved. The entire tree shadow quickly extended and lengthened. The branches of the tree shadow seemed to have turned into a black tentacle that spread in front of a tree spirit.

Swoosh!

The entire branch immediately covered the tree spirit.

In an instant, the tree spirit let out a miserable scream. Its body seemed to have been bombarded by some powerful force. More than half of it was erased silently!

This made Xiao Shi’s pupils constrict slightly. He didn’t expect the combination of the Lunar Qi Force and the tree shadow to have such an effect.

“If 1 use this to launch a sneak attack, I’m afraid it’ll be extremely difficult for ordinary people to notice.”

Xiao Shi’s heart stirred.

Especially under the night sky, tree shadows were extremely difficult to detect. Coupled with the concealment of the lunar, it would definitely have an excellent effect.

“However, in terms of killing power, I still need to try.” Xiao Shi looked at a tree spirit comparable to the late-stage Qi Martial realm in the distance. He controlled the tree shadow to spread over..
