The Magician of Cultivation

Unknown city.

There are many houses on both sides of the long street, full of modern steel and concrete atmosphere.

Li Yu appeared in a house on the corner of the street, and the house was pitch black.

"You can now choose suitable weapons and armor."

An electronic reminder sounded in the room.

"Note, you can only choose one set of armor and two weapons."

"Once you have chosen one, you may not change it, nor may you pick up other people's weapons to use."

"Otherwise you will be declared the loser, and losing means death."

The electronic sound was devoid of any emotion and simply narrated the rules according to the predetermined settings.

The lights in the room came on, and Li Yu could see the layout of the room clearly.

Except for a stone table standing in the middle of the house, there is nothing else and it is extremely empty.

Li Yu's gaze fell on the stone table.

"Hello, human trialist"

The stone table suddenly made an electronic sound, which scared Li Yu.

He immediately stepped back and looked at the stone table with a wary look on his face.

"What are you?"

"You can think of me as a magical weapon."

Shi Zhuo spoke again.

"Now please place your hands on the stone table and choose the weapons and armor you want."

"Magical weapon?"

Li Yu understood.

In the world of cultivation, anything that can be refined and taken into the body is called a magic weapon.

The top-level magical weapon has already developed intelligence. As long as it is nurtured for a period of time, it can be promoted to a holy weapon.

"Is this a top-level magical weapon?"

Li Yu was shocked, but he still stepped forward and placed his hands on the stone table.

The stone table was cold to the touch.

Various images of weapons and armor immediately appeared in his mind.

"The body strength is at the middle level of Qi Refining Stage, and the soul strength is still at the Golden Core Stage. However, the soul power cannot leave the body, and the amount of true Qi in the body is also at the Qi Refining Stage."

Li Yu silently felt his current physical condition.

My true strength in the outside world should be at the bottom of this battlefield.

"Then according to what the guide said, everyone is now either in the middle stage of martial arts apprenticeship or in the middle stage of magic apprenticeship."

He thought to himself, browsing through the weapons in his mind.

Knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hammers..., flipping through the pages, all kinds of weapons are available.

"I am not good at defensive weapons like shields, and Tai Chi swordsmanship can be used for both offense and defense, so I don't need it."

"Yes, this is it."

Li Yu's eyes lit up and he immediately locked onto the target.

With a thought, a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword was 1.5 meters long and about ten centimeters wide.

He held a long sword, casually made a sword flower, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Weapons and equipment are all of first-class quality. Fighting Qi, True Qi, and Mana can all be controlled."

Judging from the appearance alone, this sword is indeed the closest to the one used in the previous life.

Tying the sword around his waist, he browsed through the ranged weapons in his mind.

"Darts, throwing knives, throwing needles, crossbows, bows, throwing hammers..."

Li Yu chose "bow" without hesitation.

The picture in my mind changed, and all kinds of bows appeared.

Not only the shape is different, but the material is also different.

"Ox horn bow, hard bow, iron bow..."

Li Yu chose "Ox Horn Bow", the picture changed again, and he chose the weight.

"Three stones, four stones, five stones, ..., ten stones"

"According to the guide, the distance will gradually decrease. The bow has a high tension, so its power will increase a lot, but it will also consume a lot of energy."

He groaned, "Besides, the heavier the bow, the slower it will be to draw it, so there's no need to choose one with a high tension."

"Well, let's choose Qishi."

Li Yu thought about it and finally chose an ox horn bow with a tension of seven stones, and then selected three quivers filled with iron feather arrows.

Each quiver contained one hundred iron-feather arrows, and there were two quivers filled with armor-piercing arrows, each containing about thirty iron-feather arrows.

"It's time to choose armor"

Li Yu browsed the armor interface again.

"The black iron heavy armor weighs one thousand pounds and can completely defend against iron feather arrows. Armor-piercing arrows shot from bows less than seven stones cannot break through the defense, and ordinary swords and knives are even more difficult to hurt."

Li Yu was shocked.

One thousand kilograms is nothing to a high-level practitioner.

But now everyone is at level one in strength, and it would be difficult to move while wearing this heavy armor.

"Fine steel mail, weighing three hundred and eighteen pounds, can defend against iron-feathered arrows shot from bows less than five stones. It has excellent resistance to ordinary swords and knives."

"Rhinoceros leather armor, weighing 56 kilograms, with a thick layer of grease on the surface. It cannot completely protect against iron-feathered arrows and armor-piercing arrows, and has average resistance to swords and knives."

"There are only three types of armor. Forget about the black iron heavy armor. It's hard for me to walk wearing it."

"Chain mail is not suitable for me either. Although it increases the defense, it greatly reduces the agility."

"This leather armor is okay, though. Tai Chi swordsmanship is good at using the opponent's force to relieve it. Unless you are forcibly breaking through the defense head-on, it will be most effective."

Thinking this way, Li Yu chose rhinoceros leather armor.

Then the rhinoceros leather armor appeared on him, just the right size.

The process of selecting weapons and armor takes about five or six minutes.

As the hand left the stone table, the electronic sound came again.

"Human Trialist, I wish you good luck."

"After the countdown reaches ten, you will be randomly teleported to a certain place on the street outside. Please be prepared."

"The countdown begins. Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one."

As the countdown ended, Li Yu disappeared into the room.

………….

A long street outside.

The moment Li Yu appeared, he slipped into a house next door.

He jumped lightly to the second floor and opened the window facing the long street a crack.

“It’s just the beginning…”

A sharp light flashed in Li Yu's eyes.

"Many people should still be choosing their weapons. The moment they appear, that's when I'll take action."

He did not consider being soft-hearted.

We are trapped here, it's either you or I die.

Every time one person is eliminated, his chances of survival increase.

He was like an experienced cheetah, quietly waiting for his prey to come into attack range.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes.

Li Yu's heart was as calm as water, without a trace of anxiety.

A figure slowly appeared in the center of the long street.

The figure was only sixty or seventy meters away from the hiding place on the second floor.

The man stepped on the ground and wanted to find a place to hide like Li Yu.

It's a pity it's too late.

"whoosh"

The iron-feather arrow flew through the air and pierced his throat before he could react.

The man looked towards the second-floor window sill unwillingly.

The windows and doors were swaying gently in the breeze, but where was Li Yu?

........................

"Good boy..."

In the main hall.

The Qingmin guide transformed into a human form and sat upright on the sofa.

He held the wine in his left hand and gently stroked his beard with his right hand, looking very comfortable.

When Li Yu shot the figure, his eyes suddenly widened and the wine spilled all over him without him realizing it.

"This kid had a very clear goal when choosing weapons and armor. He obviously has a clear understanding of his own strengths."

"He doesn't covet things that are powerful and have strong defense but are beyond his ability."

The Qingmin guide's eyes lit up.

This was the first time he saw Li Yu take action, and to be honest, he was stunned.

"The ambush was beautifully executed. The location, patience, and timing of the attack were all very well planned."

"This kid is not simple."

A smile appeared on the face of the Qingmin guide.

"I really underestimated him before."

"That's right. How could someone who is favored by the Holy See be bad?"
