Chapter 126 Guardian Test
The strengthening of the fruit of life soon ended.

Shen Zhong had been completely reborn at this time. Every inch of his flesh and blood contained immense life force, making him truly immortal.

The key point is that Shen Zhong unexpectedly awakened his ancient bloodline talent, so he was in a very good mood at this time.

Shen Zhong walked out of the meditation room and came to a hall.

There was no one else in the hall except Dong Bo Xue Ying who was practicing with his spear.

"Junior brother, have you absorbed the fruit of life?" Dong Bo Xueying's eyes lit up slightly when he saw Shen Zhong.

As soon as Shen Zhong saw the look in Dong Bo Xue Ying's eyes, he knew what he wanted to say.

"Brother Xueying, let me spar with you for a few moves." Shen Zhong took out the knife with a smile.

call!call!call!
The two men fought with ease.

Dong Bo Xueying did not use his extreme penetrating true meaning to attack, and Shen Zhong did not use the shadow true meaning to hide.

The power of water, fire and wind continued to emerge around Dong Bo Xue Ying, while light and darkness alternated around Shen Zhong.

boom! boom! boom!
Dong Bo Xue Ying's attack was extremely fierce. You know, this spear technique was a fusion of the true meaning of extreme penetration, how could it not be fierce?
But Shen Zhong took every blow head-on without revealing the slightest flaw. The highlight of his swordsmanship was just one word: steady.

Suddenly, Dong Bo Xueying's attack paused. He looked at Shen Zhong and said, "Junior brother, you come and attack me."

"Oh?" Shen Zhong was a little surprised when he heard this, but he nodded quickly.

Since Dong Bo Xue Ying said so.
boom!
Shen Zhong's swordsmanship changed instantly, like a rolling wheel, madly crushing Dong Bo Xue Ying, and Dong Bo Xue Ying's spearmanship also changed a little.

But Dong Bo Xueying's new spear skills were obviously immature. After just a moment, he was slashed in the chest by Shen Zhong's sword.

"If I hadn't held back with this blow, you, Brother Xueying, would have been injured." Shen Zhong put away his knife and looked at Dong Bo Xueying and said:

"Brother, you want to study new shooting techniques? But this shooting technique is obviously immature."

Dong Bo Xueying frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "When I fought with that Saint-level extraordinary mage before, although it was only one strike, I also realized that my spear skills are more than enough for attack, but my defense is obviously insufficient. My spear skills lack some toughness and heaviness, so I am thinking about adding new mysteries to my spear skills to make up for this deficiency."

Hearing this, Shen Zhong was not surprised at all.

Regardless of his memories before the time travel or his understanding of Dong Bo Xue Ying over the years, he knew that Dong Bo Xue Ying would definitely do such a thing.

Even if this is done, it is possible to destroy the embryonic form of the true meaning of extreme penetration.

"Brother Xueying, have you decided which mystery you want to join?" Shen Zhong asked.

"It would be best if it was a mystery on the same level as the mysteries of water, fire and wind, but I haven't decided which one it is yet." Dong Bo Xueying said after pondering.

"What are the mysteries of the earth?" Shen Zhong asked.

“The Wonder of the Earth?” Dong Bo Xueying nodded when he heard that. On the surface, the Wonder of the Earth did satisfy his needs for thickness and toughness, but whether it would work or not would depend on the effect after adding it.

"Junior Brother Shen, thank you for your reminder." Dong Bo Xueying said with a smile.

"Nothing, I just said it casually." Shen Zhong waved his hand, and then he picked up the knife again and said:

"Let's do it again. I feel like my sword is about to transform!"

"Really?" Dong Bo Xueying was shocked when he heard this.

More than ten years ago, Shen Zhong's mystery of light and darkness changed. Until now, the so-called mystery of light and darkness seems to have completely turned into a new mystery.

However, this new mystery was very hidden, and on the surface it was clearly light and darkness, so he had never known what it was.

However, in terms of power, this is definitely a very powerful mystery, and it is likely to correspond to some kind of second-grade true meaning.

"Could it be that Junior Brother Shen Zhong can grasp the second level of the second-grade true meaning?"

This thought flashed through Dong Bo Xueying's mind, and he did not hesitate. He fired a shot directly at Shen Zhong, and a battle broke out again.

. . .

The day passed quickly.

On the next day, everyone gathered in the hall of the Mage Tower. Today was the day when a new test began.

call!
Silently, an old man with a goatee and wearing a red robe appeared in front of everyone.

"In a quarter of an hour, the 'C6' level test will begin. Your mission is to guard." The old man said with a smile. "Senior, what are you guarding?" Shen Zhong asked.

"What was the extraordinary thing guarding this wizard tower before?" asked the old man.

"Fruit of life?" Shen Zhong was surprised.

"In this boundless sea, there are countless sea creatures living. Now, a sea tribe has heard the news that there is a 'fruit of life' on this island." The old man said slowly: "Now, an army has arrived, and their target is the fruit of life."

This time Shen Zhong didn't say anything more, he seemed to be thinking about something.

"This test requires you not to leave the island and not to move the fruit of life protected by the magic circle. In addition, you only need to hold on for one hour to pass." The old man said this for the last time, and then he disappeared.

At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also confused.

"Didn't you eat the fruit of life?" Shen Cong looked at Shen Zhong and asked directly.

"Just go and take a look and you'll find out."

Shen Zhong didn't say much. He immediately walked towards the room where the fruit of life was previously stored, and Shen Cong and others followed him.

When everyone came to this room, they no longer had any doubts.

The fruit that had been taken away by Dong Bo Xue Ying using the extreme penetration true meaning now appeared intact in the previous place again.

To be precise, the fruit of life only appeared in its original location, and the magic circle that originally covered the fruit of life had disappeared.

"It seems that Senior Xue Zhen has placed another life fruit here and removed the original defensive formation." Shen Zhong said, and he immediately said:

"Then what we need to consider next is how to keep this fruit of life for a day."

"The rules require that the location of the fruit of life cannot be moved, so obviously we can only defend it." Shen Cong said immediately.

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Junior Sister Jingqiu, how many magic arrays can you control in this magic tower?" Shen Zhong looked at Yu Jingqiu.

"Less than 10%." Yu Jingqiu said, and then she added:

"But this Mage Tower is very solidly built. As long as the defensive formation is activated, it will be difficult for ordinary demigods to break into the Mage Tower from the outside."

"This is a test for me. There is always a chance to complete it. The person who comes to snatch the fruit of life should not have the strength of a demigod, otherwise we will not be able to stop him." Shen Zhong pondered:

"It will be much easier if the enemy can't destroy the Mage Tower from the outside. They can only get in. Then we can use the Mage Tower to fight the enemy."

"Let's assign the tasks specifically." Shen Zhong began to assign tasks again.

Needless to say, Yu Jingqiu had to control many magic arrays.

Among the remaining three people, Dong Bo Xueying is much stronger, so his task is heavier. He has to face the enemies entering the Mage Tower head-on.

Dong Xuanhu and Shen Cong are relatively weaker, so they guard the fruit of life. If someone breaks through the defense and comes here accidentally, the two of them will have to try their best to stop the other party.

As for Shen Zhong, he has many responsibilities.

He has to do everything, including intelligence, harassment, and frontal resistance. In a word, he has to go wherever he is needed.

Everyone quickly discussed various plans, and in less than half a quarter of an hour, a rough plan had taken shape. At this moment, Shen Zhong's face suddenly froze.

"Someone has come to the island." Shen Zhong said.

This is the power of the mystery of shadow. Unless it is hidden through the mysteries of other rules, as long as it appears within a hundred kilometers of him, it cannot escape his perception.

Even space has shadows. Shadows are everywhere.

"Are there many people?" Dong Bo Xueying asked.

“There are a lot, hundreds of them, and none of them have a weak aura. I’m afraid they are all saint-level extraordinary people.” Shen Zhong said solemnly.

"Hundreds of Saint-level extraordinary people?" Several people felt pressured.

It would be fine if these saint-level extraordinary beings were all ordinary saints, but things may not be that simple.

"I'll go and take a look first. If I can find a chance, I will take care of a group of people before they find the Mage Tower." Shen Zhong said, and then he turned into a shadow and disappeared in the Mage Tower in a flash.
