Xuan Xiaowei slowly walked into the Cuiying Trials, feeling both excited and nervous.
In the past two months of simulated training, she has achieved impressive results in each level. However, the test she will face today is more real and more dangerous.
"After completing the simulation training, next up is the test at Cuiying Tower." XuanYuan ZhanYue stood in front of the tower gate, gazing into the distance.
"The place we're going this time isn't a simulated training; the monsters there are all alive." XuanYuan ZhanYue reminded with a serious tone.
"Don't worry, ZhanYue, I am ready," Xuan Xiaowei said, clenching her fists with determination.
Standing by, XuanYuan ZhanYue's gaze was sharp as he handed Xuan Xiaowei the robe with the exclusive mark of the Pure Moon Sect.
"This is the exclusive attire of the Pure Moon Sect, made with the mark of the wisteria flower," he said, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes.
Xuan Xiaowei took the clothes and carefully examined them. Indeed, on the fabric, there were faintly visible wisteria flower shapes, and there were wisteria marks sewn into the fabric at the shoulders.
"This outfit not only serves an aesthetic purpose, but it also has a spell to ward off evil spirits. Once a monster touches it, it will be very difficult to tear it apart, as if adding an extra layer of protection," XuanYuan ZhanYue said slowly.
Xuan Xiaowei nodded and put on the clothes, feeling as if her whole body was enveloped by an invisible force.
Next, XuanYuan ZhanYue took out a sword. The sword was very ordinary, but there was a small mark on the blade.
"This is your Sky Piercer Sword, and the demon-slaying effect has been added to it," he said.
A few days ago, Sky Piercer Sword was sent to the forge. Xuan Xiaowei tightly grasped the newly acquired demon-slaying sword - Sky Piercer Sword, with a dark blade engraved on the back.
"What is the Demon-slaying Blade? How did these marks appear on it?" Xuan Xiaowei asked in confusion.
XuanYuan ZhanYue smiled, "This is just the beginning. Every time you slay a demon and absorb its essence, this sword will become more powerful. Each additional blade will be etched onto the back of the sword, representing its increased strength."
"Like your sword?" asked Xuan Xiaowei.
"Yes, the blade of my sword has accumulated so many notches that it has become a pattern, but I always feel it's too fancy, so I concealed its appearance," XuanYuan ZhanYue smiled.
"What is the demon-suppressing spell?" Xuan Xiaowei asked.
"The incantation has been woven into the sword, allowing it to not only inflict physical damage, but also to cause magical harm to demons when slaying them." explained XuanYuan ZhanYue.
Next, XuanYuan ZhanYue took out a Bagua mirror, a peach wood sword, and a bronze coin sword, and handed them to Xuan Xiaowei.
"So, do I still need these things to slay demons? Am I a Taoist or a Demon Slayer?" Xuan Xiaowei took the props, looking somewhat confused.
XuanYuan ZhanYue smiled and explained, "Actually, the gossip mirror, peach wood sword, and some simple exorcism spells can only deal with the 'chi, mei' level of demons. But when encountering demons of a higher level like 'wang', these items are not very effective."
"What should we do then?"
"Only by relying on the sword in hand and striking the demon's heart to obtain the demon pill can one truly kill the monster," XuanYuan ZhanYue replied.
Xuan Xiaowei nodded, understanding the reasoning behind it.
At this moment, Bai Cang, the cute animal transformed from a little white tiger, suddenly appeared from behind Xuan Xiaowei and quietly sat beside her.
"Bai Cang will also accompany you into the forest of the Cuiying Trials. It will be your most reliable companion there," XuanYuan ZhanYue said, looking at Bai Cang with an indescribable sense of trust in his tone.
"Okay, ZhanYue, I understand. I will make good use of these tools and work hard to complete the mission," Xuan Xiaowei said firmly, feeling a mix of nervousness and anticipation.
She tightened her grip on the peach wood sword and the Bagua mirror in her hand, and bit her lower lip. Not only her, but also over a hundred newly blossomed disciples of the Pure Moon Sect, each with eyes filled with different emotions: some nervous, some excited, and others looking around with suspicion and curiosity.
XuanYuan ZhanYue placed his palm on the door of the Cuiying Trials. Suddenly, the door shrouded in fairy mist gradually opened, and a cool breeze gushed out.
"Please come in," XuanYuan ZhanYue stepped aside.
Xuan Xiaowei took a deep breath, tightly gripping the tool in her hand, and stepped into the Cuiying Trials with Bai Cang.
The people preparing for the trial next to them were immersed in their own world, watching as the big gate slowly closed, and began to whisper to each other.
"I wonder how many of the over 100 people going in this time will ultimately come out?" A servant rubbed his beard, looking worried.
Another senior servant who has participated in the Cuiying Trials multiple times sighed and replied, "I'm afraid it's not more than ten people."
The new young servant, looking puzzled, asked, "Is it really that exaggerated? The initial trials didn't eliminate that many people!"
Elderly servant replied, "What you're talking about is the initial trials of ranks one to three, how can that compare to the current Cuiying Trials of ranks four to six? The Cuiying Trials include three genuine 'wangs' among the demon creatures 'chi, mei, wang, liang, yao'! The initial trials are all just low-level 'chi, mei'."
The third senior servant nodded in agreement, "That's right. The initial Zhan Tower had over two thousand people, but in the Cuiying Tower, it's reduced to just over three hundred people. This is the difference in strength. If one is not outstanding, they cannot stand out."
Cuiying Trials Located deep in a remote mountain, the dense forest is dark and damp.
Many Demon Slayers will release the captured demons into this deep mountain, serving as a training ground for the subsequent disciples of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Here, in addition to having to kill demons to obtain their blood demon art, one must also survive inside for ten days in order to be considered to have passed the assessment.
Xuan Xiaowei and Bai Cang entered this eerie forest together.
The trees towered high, their leaves sharp as steel blades, and occasionally, the distant roar or howl of unknown creatures could be heard.
"Xuan Xiaowei, be very careful when you go in. The hierarchy of demons here is varied. First-rank and second-rank demons are more common, while third-rank demons are relatively rare. However, their abilities can counter ordinary exorcism methods, and their evil aura can even corrupt humans, turning them into puppets."
Xuan Xiaowei remembered the warning from XuanYuan ZhanYue before entering. Her heart sank slightly, and she tightly gripped the sword in her hand, stepping forward with determination.
Not long after, a fierce wind blew, and a one-eyed demon with fangs and claws appeared in front of her. It emitted a sharp screech, seemingly discontent with everything.
"Perfect timing!" Xuan Xiaowei gritted her teeth and swung her sword. The sword light flashed, and the demon's screech abruptly stopped, transforming into a shiny demon pill.
Bai Cang The White Tiger roared and pounced in front of the demonic pill, biting it and bringing it close to Xuan Xiaowei's Frost Edge Sword.
The demonic pill suddenly flashed by and was absorbed by the sword. The "Demon Suppression Blade" engraved on the sword's body slightly lit up, seeming to have even more powerful energy.
"One has been resolved, next is..." Xuan Xiaowei had just thought to continue forward when suddenly she felt a strong demonic energy coming from a distance.
"This is... the demonic energy of the Wandering Demon!" Bai Cang's voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
Xuan Xiaowei Gripping the sword handle tightly, with a determined look. "No matter what it is, I will face it."
In the dark depths of the Cuiying Trials forest, among the green moss and dense leaves, a pair of cold and cunning eyes are watching the new group of challengers entering.
It is a snake demon, with a slender body covered in scales and sharp fangs. It is tightly hidden behind a huge rock, waiting for the most opportune moment, ready to seize those ignorant and weak lives in one fell swoop.
"Great, those people from the Pure Moon Sect have released a bunch of young girls to feed us again," the serpent demon licked its fangs, its red tongue carrying an evil glow in the darkness.
