Chapter 1358: 1358
Looking at the Second Palace that was rapidly materializing before his eyes, Lin Huang could not help raising his brows .

The Second Palace also looked nothing like a palace; it was a shabby little log cabin . From the outside, it was about 70 to 80 square meters at most and looked like it had been abandoned for at least two or three decades .
‘It’s supposed to be a palace, why make it look like that?’
Lin Huang was convinced that the Second Palace had not looked this way originally, otherwise, the seller would not have been able to find a purchaser at all .
As Lin Huang continued his silent criticism, a squeaky noise suddenly sounded .
He immediately looked toward the source of the sound, and the small wooden door of the cabin slowly opened .
“Although the house is different, the formula is rather familiar…”
Lin Huang smiled and walked straight toward the cabin as naturally as if he were visiting an old neighbor . Without any hesitation, he crossed the threshold of the small wooden door .
Lin Huang was not surprised to see a vast expanse of grassland inside the door .
After all, this was a Trial arena . If it was really a small log cabin that had less than 80 square meters of space, the two of them would not be able to unleash their abilities at all once they began fighting .
The world behind the small wooden door had cloudless blue skies and lush grass extending as far as the eye could see .
Lin Huang took a deep breath . The scent of flowers and grasses filled his lungs, putting him in a joyful mood .
Almost simultaneously, however, Lin Huang sensed a figure gradually materializing not far away .

He lifted his head and stared straight ahead . Someone was standing there on a big stone that was about half a meter high .
To be precise, it was a man with a rabbit’s head . He was not tall; the impression he gave was that of a teenager wearing a bunny mask .
Lin Huang knew that the man’s head was real, however .
This was a rabbit-headed man with clean white fur .
He looked to be only about one point six meters tall, not including his ears, which were furry and very long—more than forty centimeters or so .
Taken together, from the soles of his feet to the tips of his ears he was almost two meters in height .
Because his ears were so long, however, he appeared shorter .
Not only did he look short, but he also seemed thin and frail .
On the surface, this fellow did not seem threatening at all . As he stood on that half-meter high rock surveying Lin Huang from high ground, his two scarlet eyes showed not the slightest emotion .
‘This fellow should be the Bunny that Sword8 mentioned…’
Lin Huang was not surprised by Sword2’s physical appearance . When Sword8 had let slip the nickname “Bunny” previously, he had already guessed . Moreover, he had also seen the elephant-headed Sword3 earlier .
“Being able to pass Long Nose’s level means that you probably possess some solid capabilities . He’s not the sort of character who goes easy on participants,” the rabbit-headed man said with a smile after weighing Lin Huang up thoroughly .

“Senior Sword3 is indeed the strongest opponent that I have ever encountered . ” Lin Huang nodded with a smile .
“That’s a bit of a premature declaration; I’m stronger than him . ” Sword2 shooked his ears .
Lin Huang then remembered that this man in front of him was a powerhouse who was ranked higher than Sword3 .
“I mainly cultivate rapid speed sword skill . ” Sword2’s battle sword slowly coalesced in his hand . It was a thorn-like blade that looked like a tree branch and the point of the blade was almost as thin as the tip of a needle . A hint of playfulness showed in his scarlet eyes . “If you can get through one day with me, I’ll consider you to have passed this stage . ”
Lin Huang did not respond to Sword2’s remarks . From the moment he entered the Second Palace, his intent had not only been to pass this level but also to find a sparring partner to enhance his abilities .
Sword2 grasped the hilt of his weapon in his right hand, bent his knees and leaned forward, already in attack stance . Before he made his move, he grinned at Lin Huang, revealing two gleaming white front teeth .
“Are you ready?!”
“Bring it on!”
The silver blade in Lin Huang’s hands had also coalesced into being . His aura began to rise sharply and in barely a breath, it reached its peak .
The moment Lin Huang answered, Sword2 suddenly disappeared on the spot .
The stone under Bunny’s feet slowly crumbled and turned into powder, the entire half meters’ worth of it .

‘So fast!’
Lin Huang’s pupils suddenly contracted . His eyesight and Divine Telekinesis had yet to capture his opponent’s movements, let alone his opponent’s movement trajectory .
Almost at the same time Sword2 disappeared, Lin Huang suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger to one side of him .
Without any hesitation, he immediately initiated the Seraphic Speed God Rule and moved like a flash . His figure instantly appeared hundreds of meters away .
Even so, as he planted his legs firmly, he still found a slash about 20cm long on the left waist of his robe .
“You’re still a little too slow!” Sword2 stood where Lin Huang had originally been standing, grinning and showing his two front teeth before suddenly disappeared once more .
Lin Huang quickly dodged again…
In just half an hour, Lin Huang’s black robe had more than ten slashes on it .
In terms of rapid speed sword skill, his abilities were far below that of his opponent .
Under this extreme pressure, however, Lin Huang began striving for a breakthrough once more .
He was no longer relying solely on Seraphic Speed to dodge but was merging Lightning Element skills with his ultimate dao-type Thunder Eclipse, trying to achieve a breakthrough in Elemental Enlightenment .
In the next half hour, the number of sword slashes on his black robe increased from 16 to 107 .
Fortunately, he possessed sufficient Divine Power and God Rule as well as Divine Regeneration skills, so he did not suffer substantial damage .
The next day was arguably the worst for Lin Huang in terms of being thoroughly schooled .
Throughout the day, he was constantly taking a beating . Sword2 managed to slash Lin Huang’s black robe more than 2000 times, but Lin Huang barely found an opportunity to attack . All day he delivered less than 10 slashes in total, but could not even brush the cuffs of Sword2’s sleeves at all .
As soon as the twenty-four hours were up, Sword2 cheerfully sheathed his sword and moved to the side .
“It’s been twenty-four hours . According to the conditions that I mentioned earlier for passing this stage, you’ve qualified . Congratulations, you’ve successfully made it past the Second Palace!”
As usual, Lin Huang did not accept this result .
“Senior Sword2, I hope that I can stay and practice for a while . ”
After hearing this, Sword2 was silent for a moment . “You must consider this carefully . If you give up your chance to exit this level now, you must beat me or be strong enough to make me admit defeat before you can pass . ”
“I know the rules . ” Lin Huang nodded with a smile . “Let’s continue!”
Seeing that Lin Huang had made up his mind, Sword2 said nothing further . The thorn-like blade coalesced in his hand again, and he vanished once more…
