Chapter 151: The Inheritance Begins
The wind blades finally stopped howling, as if they had been abruptly stopped by an invisible hand that had suddenly choked them.
The human-shaped sculpture nodded slightly in approval, then casually waved its arm, as if it were merely shooing away an annoying mosquito.
As he moved, a round stone slowly emerged from the ground, like a long-dormant beast poking its head out from underground.
Upon closer inspection, a complex and mysterious magic array was faintly engraved on the surface of the stone, shimmering with a faint light, like stars flickering in the night sky.
"Next comes the third test," the humanoid sculpture's voice came unhurriedly, as if everything was under its control.
He pointed to the round stone that had just emerged and continued, "Use your lightning power to attack this stone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxue's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
You have to understand, she's a gifted individual with a 100% affinity for lightning!
Without needing to mobilize the power of his martial spirit, simply raising his arm was enough to unleash the might of thunder in the world.
Sure enough, the moment she raised her hand, a dazzling purple lightning bolt suddenly erupted from her palm, like a roaring dragon, carrying boundless power and energy, rushing straight toward the stone.
However, something unexpected happened. When the incredibly sharp purple lightning struck the magic array on the stone's surface, it did not shatter it with overwhelming force as everyone had expected.
On the contrary, the seemingly fragile magic array was like a greedy maw, effortlessly devouring all the surging lightning power. The whole process was slow and steady, without the slightest ripple.
Seeing this, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but frown slightly, a sense of inexplicable doubt welling up in her heart.
Based on her understanding of her own strength, even if that attack couldn't directly destroy the rock, it should at least have caused it considerable damage.
It's quite unbelievable that this magic array could so easily neutralize her attack.
Just then, the human-shaped sculpture suddenly let out a low, slightly mocking laugh, breaking the brief silence. "Hahahaha... Little girl, don't be impatient. This is no ordinary test."
He paused, his gaze falling on the stone that was still absorbing the power of lightning, and explained, "This stone is called Nare Stone, and it is made of an extremely rare and special material."
Its most distinctive feature is its ability to continuously absorb and store the power of lightning.
It will only split open automatically after absorbing enough lightning energy. So, go ahead and do as you please.
Ye Chuxue took a deep breath, as if she wanted to gather all the strength in her body into this one breath.
Immediately afterwards, her slender hands began to move swiftly like nimble butterflies, each wave accompanied by a burst of purple lightning.
Thick bolts of purple lightning streaked across the sky, relentlessly bombarding the mysterious Nare Stone.
In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to be enraged by the powerful lightning, and began to violently churn and churn.
The once calm airflow now surged and crashed restlessly like a raging sea.
As a continuous stream of lightning power was poured into it, the lightning on the Narestone became increasingly dazzling, like a new star about to explode.
It was clear that it was about to succumb to such a massive energy impact, with fine cracks already appearing on its surface, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.
Just at this critical moment, something unexpected happened—a brand new Nare Stone suddenly appeared from the side!
Ye Chuxue was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting such a situation to arise. But being a seasoned veteran, she quickly regained her composure.
Without hesitation, she once again mobilized her spiritual power, unleashing another purple lightning bolt of the same astonishing power as before, which struck fiercely at the newly appeared Nare Stone.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Because the power of the lightning was distributed across the two Narestones, the first Narestone, which was originally on the verge of collapse, actually stabilized again, and the cracks on it slowly healed at a visible speed until they finally disappeared.
Ye Chuxue frowned upon seeing this, but she showed no sign of backing down.
Instead, he gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to increase the output of his spiritual power, continuously injecting it into the Nare Stone.
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people. Just as she was concentrating on dealing with the predicament before her, a third, a fourth... more and more Nare Stones appeared around her, gradually forming an impregnable fortress.
Faced with so many troublesome situations, even with Ye Chuxue's profound cultivation and extraordinary perseverance, she gradually began to feel somewhat powerless.
Ye Chuxue took a deep breath and calmed down to analyze the situation. This challenge should be a test of her mastery of the lightning element.
The more meticulous the mastery, the purer and more precise the output of power will become.
Ye Chuxue understood this principle well, so when she realized that her previous methods were inadequate, she immediately adjusted her approach.
She quickly separated a portion of the lightning power within her body and carefully controlled it to ensure that each Narestone could be selected accurately.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Chuxue gathered all the remaining elemental energy together without hesitation and focused all her energy on bombarding the first Nare Stone.
With a loud "bang," the Nare Stone shattered instantly, turning into countless tiny fragments that flew everywhere.
However, Ye Chuxue did not pause at all. She quickly shifted her target and launched attacks on the second and third Nare Stones.
As time passed, Ye Chuxue's control over the lightning element became more and more proficient and effortless.
She can easily manipulate various forms of lightning element, making them function according to her will.
At first, the released lightning was just simple lines, but it quickly became like flowing water, freely moving through the air.
The human-shaped sculpture that had been quietly observing all of this could no longer remain calm.
He stared wide-eyed at Ye Chuxue, his face filled with shock, secretly marveling at her.
Because he clearly saw that from the initial ordinary linear lightning to the later change that resembled flowing water, it meant that Ye Chuxue had reached a very profound level of elemental control—elemental droplet condensation!
Finally, after the last Nare Stone exploded under Ye Chuxue's powerful lightning element attack, she breathed a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, the sculpture, which had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, saying, "There's no need to continue the assessment. You are fully qualified to receive the inheritance." Hearing this, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but feel a little surprised and let out a puzzled "Huh?"
The sculpture seemed to sense Ye Chuxue's confusion, so it patiently explained: "Only those who have an extremely high level of mastery over the elements can perform advanced techniques like elemental droplets."
The strength you just displayed is enough to prove that you are the one qualified to inherit this legacy.
