Chapter 23: The Mother of Spiders!

  Noticing Wucheng Elder's gaze, Qin Yi looked over at him, and Wucheng Elder quickly shifted his line of sight, pretending as if nothing had happened.

  However, he didn't know that Qin Yi's current strength was far from what he had shown. Within fifty steps, even if a mosquito flapped its wings, he knew it clearly. The unfriendly gaze of the elder Wucheng naturally did not escape Qin Yi's eyes.

  Thinking back to when Chen Haofeng had approached Wucheng Lao, he seemed to have said something, Qin Yi quietly raised his guard.

  The other party is very likely to cheat on this test.

  "Yan Wang is good at hiding, but these little ghosts are hard to deal with. When the opportunity arises, I will definitely teach them a lesson!" Qin Yi let out a cold hum, his aura was like a fatal blow, causing Wucheng Lao to tremble slightly.

  Walking along the stone steps to the square, a loud rumble, metal fences fell, blocking Qin Yi's retreat.

  "The test begins." The elder Wudeng waved his arm, and a white light flashed by. The cage that held the Di Zhi Chi Yan Spider at the bottom of the earth slowly opened.

  On the high stone steps of the square, Chen Haofeng stood facing the wind at this moment.

  The fierce winds raged around him, but he stood straight as a spear, not moving a single thread. Upon closer inspection, the airflow seemed to be sliced open by a sharp blade when it hit his body surface, automatically dividing into two sides.

  This is the power of the realm of sacrifice, and the air becomes an army.

  But the aura that Chen Haofeng wielded was even purer and thicker than Qin Hongyi's, with a fierce and powerful presence that seemed to shake the very air itself, as if the wind carried the rumble of thunder and flames, striking fear into the hearts of all who witnessed it.

  Looking down at Qin Yi who was as small as an ant, Chen Haofeng's mouth curled up into a ruthless smile: "Enjoy it well, the last moment of your life."

  Taking a last glance at Qin Yi, Chen Haofeng turned around and leaped down from the stone steps tens of meters high, like a great roc, vanishing out of sight in the blink of an eye.

  Qin Yi stood on the square, his feet trampling on the fine sand, feeling that someone was peeping at him, but when he looked up, there was nothing to see.

  "Now I can see within a range of fifty steps, but beyond that, I'm powerless. It seems I need to intensify my cultivation and absorb the full medicinal effect of the Huangquan Jiri Dan as soon as possible. I've heard that the ultimate goal of physical cultivation is the Sacrificial Soul Realm, where one can clearly perceive even the slightest movement within an eight-hundred-step radius." Qin Yi thought to himself, just as a clattering sound came from afar.

  The fence at the bottom of the scarlet flame spider's enclosure slowly opened, and a wave of scorching heat blew out, making a whooshing sound, and several gullies appeared on the sandy ground.

  This scene caused Qin Yi's eyebrows to furrow slightly. When the Crimson Flame Spider appeared earlier, it didn't have such a ferocious aura.

  A dark figure slowly emerged from behind the fence.

  This earth-bottom scarlet flame spider is three to four times larger than the ones in front, with a body size exceeding that of a water buffalo. Its entire body is covered not with simple stones, but with thick and heavy black iron!

  If the previous spiders were covered in a layer of sharp rocks that could pierce steel, then this giant underground Crimson Flame Spider was wearing a suit of fine steel armor capable of withstanding ordinary weapons!

  Hummm...

  The enormous spider stretched out its eight legs, whirlwinds danced, eyes dazzled, and hundreds of gullies appeared on the sandy ground, varying in depth, sending chills down one's spine.

  On the abdomen of this giant underground crimson flame spider, what flowed was not red magma, but golden patterns, like golden threads, rich and luxurious. Waves of energy fluctuations shook out from its body, buzzing loudly, with an astonishing aura.

  This one earth spider can easily kill dozens of ordinary spiders!

  "Spider Mother!" Wu Peng exclaimed in surprise from the observation deck.

  "Dustless elder, the mother of the underground crimson flame spider, is it enough to contend with the blood sacrifice boundary's monster, the test for the apprentice disciples, how can such a monster appear!" Wu Peng shouted anxiously, looking at Qin Yi, his fists clenched.

  With his current strength, it is impossible to kill the Spider Mother, unless he has a treasure-grade artifact in hand. Even if he were one of the top outer disciples, wanting to kill a Spider Mother would require having a weapon in hand. Now Qin Yi was empty-handed and bare-fisted, wasn't he doomed to die?!

  "Dustless elder, testing is now against the rules, I strongly demand an immediate stop to the test!"

  The elder Dustless ignored Wu Peng's protest and said with a mysterious tone: "What kind of monster appears during the test depends on one's personal luck. Once the test begins, it cannot be stopped unless the tester passes or requests to quit. The consequences of quitting... heh, you know them."

  Once you drop out, it means test failure and will be deprived of the qualification for admission to Tian Sheng College!

  Wu Peng wanted to let Qin Yi know the severity of the current situation, but the two were now too far apart, and he had not yet reached the realm of Yu Qi, so his voice couldn't travel that far, there was no way to let Qin Yi know, and could only anxiously wait in place.

  The other disciples who were waiting to take the test also looked at each other in horror, whispering to each other, and not one of them didn't think that Qin Yi was done for this time. The eyes looking at Qin Yi were all filled with sympathy.

  An apprentice of the Refining Membrane Realm actually encountered a powerful demon beast that could rival the Blood Sacrifice Realm, it can only be said that he was out of luck.

  Compared to the shock of the crowd in the square, Qin Yi stood steadily among them, without any sign of panic.

  He was just surprised at first, but soon calmed down.

  This giant underground crimson flame spider, although extremely fierce and far surpassing its peers, is absolutely no match for itself.

  I have now awakened the power of the Four-Headed Dragon, enough to rival the Ninth Layer of the Sacrificial Soul Realm, while this spider is at most only in the Sacrificial Blood Realm.

  "But to think that such a powerful demon beast would appear in the apprentice disciple test, that Wucheng Elder is obviously listening to Chen Huafeng's words and wants to put me to death. At the first meeting, he wants to kill me, this Chen Huafeng has a vicious heart, I must be more careful in the future, if there's an opportunity, I won't let him off, Wucheng Elder is not a good guy either, humph, want to kill me? Then I'll let you see my power!"

  The Spider Mother seemed to have sensed Qin Yi's contempt for her, and appeared extremely enraged. A pair of large pincers continuously collided, waves surged, like molten iron boiling over. Eight giant claws flashed with a cold glow, slowly retracting, accumulating power.

  Qin Yi gazed at Spider Mother, without even assuming a defensive posture, but rather seemingly relaxed with her arms crossed.

  Apart from himself, no one knew that the power of four dragons was hidden beneath his skin and muscles, like a raging storm, like a river bursting its banks, roaring and surging, waiting to be unleashed.

  Qin Yi's entire body, every muscle and bone, was like a volcano about to erupt, emitting wave after wave of killing intent, even causing the Spider Mother to feel a sense of fear, taking a step back.

  As he walked around Qin Yi for a moment, the Spider Mother suddenly let out a sharp whistle, piercing and ear-piercing, like a ghost wailing, her body was like a black cannonball, shaking the surrounding air flow, golden patterns, in mid-air, drawing a meteor-like mark.

  Facing the Spider Mother, Qin Yi let out a loud roar, his voice like a huge bronze bell, booming and shaking the air, causing the surrounding air to distort violently, colliding with each other, and forming a massive whirlpool. The suction force was terrifying, forcibly pulling the flying Spider Mother off its flight path, towards the center of the whirlpool.

  Although he had not yet reached the realm of refining his body, and was unable to control the air, Qin Yi could already rely on his powerful strength to shake the airflow, with a power that was not much different from controlling the air!

  The onlookers were relatively far away and didn't know what had happened. From a distance, it was still unclear why the spider mother had suddenly flown to another place in a state of confusion.

  The power of the four-headed dragon roared within Qin Yi's body, gathering to a single point. As Qin Yi exerted force with one stamp, the violent power burst into the ground, like a sand dragon leaping and moving about, fiercely charging at the Spider Mother.

  The fine sand on the ground surged into waves, forming concentric circles, rushing towards all directions.

  The Spider Mother was still in mid-air, trying to struggle, when suddenly a loud crash sounded, and a stone pillar burst out of the ground with lightning speed, piercing the Spider Mother.

  The Spider Mother's body was made of tempered iron armor, capable of withstanding ordinary weapons, its power comparable to three palm-width steel plates. But at this moment, it was like tofu, easily pierced by the stone pillar. A thick, scorching green liquid suddenly spurted out along the pillar, and the Spider Mother's body was also inflated to twice its size!

  Qin Yi's foot tapped lightly on the ground, and his body burst out with a loud noise. The power of the python dragon circulated around him once, gathering at his fist.

  "Nine Fire Fissure Valley!" A punch shook out, and the gods and ghosts howled together. Amazingly, a fist condensed into the size of a square table, visible to the naked eye, like a giant hammer weighing ten thousand kilograms, crashing down.

  Bang!

  Power surged into the Spider Mother's body, raging wildly, instantly crushing the Spider Mother's entire flesh and blood into a pulp. A dull sound, completely exploded, turned into a sky of blood mist and flesh paste.

  Qin Yiling stood amidst the bloody mist, without a single speck of blood on him. A layer of ripples surged on the surface of his body, like a divine demon, making one's heart and gall tremble with fear.

  This scene almost scared all the onlookers to death.

  Even in the enclosure where the underground flame spider was locked, it was quiet at this moment. These beasts were all frightened and shrunk to the deepest place.

  The dustless elder's face turned pale and iron-green, his body trembling with fear. He had not expected that this disciple would possess such terrifying strength.

  The elder Wú Chén was indeed an elder, but his strength was not strong, only at the level of a Blood Sacrifice Boundary. At this moment, Qin Yì's overwhelming power made his heart almost stop beating, and even his breathing was no longer under his control.

  His eyes locked onto Qin Yi, he swallowed hard, and suddenly saw Qin Yi turn around, his gaze as solid as a substance, crossing thousands of steps, hitting him fiercely.

  The old dustless felt a severe pain in his head and before he could react, he saw Qin Yi pointing at him from afar.

  It can't be more obvious: I know you did all of this.

  Qin Yi's aura was overwhelming, and behind him, an invisible magical aura seemed to condense into a tangible form. At this moment, Wucheng Elder truly felt a sense of despair, as if his fate was entirely in Qin Yi's hands.

  PS: These days, I've been reading reviews, whether it's on the website or mobile site, many brothers have expressed that the style of Lian Shen is indeed very different from Qi Jie Bian Hua, and they even made comparisons with great enthusiasm. It can be seen that everyone still has high expectations for Lian Shen, in my own opinion, at least the current quality is worthy of myself and everyone else. Regarding the update speed, there are over 100,000 words stored, mainly because whether it's Qi Jie or Lian Shen, they are both web novels that have been bought out by the website. Therefore, for updates, we need to coordinate with the website's promotions, coordinate with recommended positions, and do explosive updates and normal updates, next week there will be recommendations, at which time the update speed will become faster.

  Let me define the Seven Realms and Refine the Spirit according to my own ideas.

  Seven Realms. According to my original intention, I had hoped to truly achieve a leisurely life of "bubble girl, refining treasures", unfortunately, it didn't come true later on, leaving some regret behind.

  If the heavens repress me, I will cleave through the heavens. If the earth confines me, I will shatter the earth. We were born free and unfettered, who dares to stand above us!
