"Han Ruxue."

the woman said.

"Yes."

Su Ling nodded and said, "After coming to the sixth floor for so long, I wonder what you are going to test?"

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a trembling sound could be heard, and a deep voice could be heard saying: "The sixth floor's assessment of temperament."

In an instant, a bamboo forest appeared in Su Ling's line of sight.

"Hmm? This bamboo forest is the Heart Kill Bamboo Forest! "

Han Ruxue was instantly shocked as her brows tightly knitted together.

"This Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest is only an illusion, but its power far surpasses the one in reality. As long as you can walk a hundred steps in the bamboo forest, you will pass the test and reach the seventh floor. "

The deep voice said once again.

"It's that simple?"

Su Ling was surprised.

But at this time, he heard Han Ruxue explain, "There are many chaotic situations in the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest that can easily bewitch a martial practitioner's personality. Therefore, the bamboo forest was mainly about testing a practitioner's mental fortitude. If your mental strength was firm enough, a hundred steps wouldn't be too difficult. However, if your heart is shaken, you probably won't even be able to take ten steps out. "

"So it was like that."

Su Ling nodded his head thoughtfully. Soon after, he smiled and said, "I have long since steeled my heart on the path of martial arts. Since this Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest is able to test my character, I will try my luck."

Soon after, Su Ling glanced at Han Ruxue and walked towards the Heartbreak Bamboo Forest.

"Su Ling …"

Seeing Su Ling enter the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest without even blinking, Han Ruxue was momentarily stunned. She wanted to remind Su Ling of the profoundness of the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest, but Su Ling had already entered into the bamboo forest illusion and disappeared from her sight.

After entering the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest, Su Ling walked along a small path. The path was paved with limestone, just large enough for a person to walk on. Around him grew bamboo that was as thick as a person's wrist, and from time to time, tender green leaves would fall to the ground.

"The illusion of the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest is too realistic!"

A second ago, he was still at the sixth level of the Profound Heaven Tower. But now, he had arrived at a bamboo forest, and this bamboo forest was practically real. He even extended his hand to receive a bamboo leaf.

Walking along the narrow path, before long, Su Ling had walked 50 steps. According to the deep voice, as long as Su Ling could walk 100 steps, he would pass the test on the sixth floor. Thinking of this, Su Ling could not help but smile. He originally thought that the sixth floor's exam would be very difficult, but it seems like it was not.

But! At this moment, just as Su Ling took his 51st step, the surrounding bamboo groves which were as thick as a person's wrist began to shake violently. The bamboo shafts shook crazily and green leaves began to fall off the bamboo sticks.

"Zzzz!"

A bamboo leaf landed on Su Ling's arm. That willow leaf was like a sharp knife as it instantly cut through Su Ling's arm, leaving behind a clear and visible bloody wound. Tiny amounts of blood flowed out from the wound.

Su Ling frowned as he looked at the wound on his arm. He subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky and saw thousands of bamboo leaves flying towards him. Those bamboo leaves had become very strange. The edges of the leaves were very sharp, like a knife that had been opened.

"I managed to walk the last fifty steps smoothly! However, from the start of the 51st step, the bamboo leaf actually turned into a knife. "

Su Ling frowned as his figure changed. He used his Star Steps to dodge the bamboo leaves attack. However, Su Ling could not avoid the bamboo leaves because they were too numerous.

"Zzzz, zzzz, zzzz …"

The bamboo leaves continued to land on Su Ling's body and cut his body.

This was because he had only taken 51 steps, and was still far away from 100 steps. If the bamboo leaves continued to attack him, he would not be able to take 100 steps.

Thinking of this, Su Ling immediately shouted out and attempted to use the mystical Qi in his body to defend against the attacks from the bamboo leaves! However, when Su Ling released his mystical Qi, the bamboo leaves' attack power instantly increased by several times, directly breaking through Su Ling's defense and splitting his body apart.

Within the Heart Punishing Bamboo Forest, Su Ling's body was covered in wounds and blood kept flowing out. The more he resisted, the more fierce the bamboo leaves became.

"The stronger my fighting spirit is, the stronger my Bamboo Leaf's attack is. If I were to retract my fighting spirit and even suppress my mystical Qi, would those bamboo leaves still attack me? "

Su Ling instantly understood what was going on and quickly retracted his fighting intent and suppressed the Xuan Qi within his body. In an instant, the bamboo leaves became as slow as a maple leaf floating in the air. Su Ling stretched out his hand and caught one of the leaves. Only now did he realize that the bamboo leaves no longer had any offensive power.

"So that's how it is! These bamboo leaves, will only attack those who have the will to fight, and those who already possess the strength to fight. "

Su Ling laughed softly.

After breaking through the first stage, Su Ling walked forward once again. He took the 52nd step. When he took this step, the environment around him did not change at all.

Very quickly, Su Ling reached the 60th step. When he continued forward, the surrounding bamboo forest was instantly set ablaze. The terrifying Earth Fire Snake swam within the bamboo forest.

"Roar!"

That fire serpent was like a real snake, tearing towards Su Ling.

But this time, Su Ling's heart was extremely firm. He allowed the fire snake to attack him and bite his body.

The intense burning sensation made Su Ling let out a light cry. The pain from the fire snake biting him was also very real. At that moment, Su Ling even felt that this fire snake really existed. But very quickly, Su Ling rejected this notion. No matter how that fire snake attacked him, he would always move forward with a firm heart.

As time passed, Su Ling's arm had already been burnt to a crisp. He was sweating profusely, but he was not afraid because he was certain that everything around him was fake.

Very quickly, Su Ling took his 71st step. The fire snake that was biting Su Ling's body disappeared with a "hu" sound.

Replacing it was a glacier. Yes, in Su Ling's line of sight, a world of ice and snow appeared out of nowhere.

At the same time, the shoes on Su Ling's feet exploded with a boom, causing Su Ling to be barefoot.

Su Ling glanced at the ground beneath his feet and still gritted his teeth as he walked towards the glacier. The freezing ice pierced the soles of Su Ling's feet, but Su Ling's heart remained firm.

Above the iceberg, Su Ling's legs were white from the cold and he even had chilblains. However, Su Ling did not show any intention of retreating. He was still walking.

When he took the 81st step, he spat out blood and the glacier under his feet disappeared. However, he had aged more than 10 years, becoming an old man with snow-white hair. The skin on his face was extremely wrinkled.

He coughed out some blood, but he continued to move forward. His mind and body were both tired, so he didn't stop.
