Above the gray fog

Lin Xiaoxiao stood up with difficulty, and the bone spur instantly shot out, forming a straight line, accurately hitting the monster's eyes.

The monster howled in pain, but did not fall down, but rushed towards her more angrily.

Lin Xiaoxiao was already trembling with pain, but she still subconsciously swung the bone sword to fight.

The monster's power was obviously stronger than hers, and every collision made her retreat several steps.

Her arms were numb from the shock, and blood dripped down her arms to the ground.

Lin Xiaoxiao gradually fell into an absolute disadvantage, but the number of monsters joining the battle increased to the third at this time.

Lin Shan watched the battle in the black bones.

That's it.

A group of sequence 9s fighting against pseudo-transcendents, this must be a life-and-death crisis.

Lin Shan's mental state was also tense, he was afraid that if he was careless, Lin Xiaoxiao would be gone.

This situation could really happen. Lin Xiaoxiao is only a pseudo-transcendent now, and is still at a level where she may die suddenly at any time.

This state is expected to continue until sequence 5.

Three monsters.

One was the main attacker, and two were feinting.

There were several more watching the battle from a distance, ready to go.

Lin Xiaoxiao's physical strength was gradually exhausted, and her wounds were increasing. Her clothes were soaked with blood, if those pieces of rags could still be called clothes.

When the three monsters had an absolute upper hand, a cruel smile appeared on their lips.

They also began to slow down their movements.

It seemed that they wanted to torture Lin Xiaoxiao to death.

This was exactly what Lin Shan wanted.

Lin Xiaoxiao had reached her limit, but the phenomenon recorded in the Ivory Tower document that the creatures of Beiliyuan could break through the life level in life and death had never appeared.

Lin Shan fell into deep thought.

Could it be... that his guess was wrong?

Lin Xiaoxiao's movements became slow, and her vision began to blur.

With a loud bang, Lin Xiaoxiao was beaten into a nearly two-meter deep pit, covered in blood.

One of her arms was deformed, and the bone sword went back through her shoulder, and blood continued to flow from the wound.

Her breathing became rapid and painful, but her eyes remained firm.

"Uncle Bone... Bone..." Her voice was weak, still with a hint of hope and trust.

At this moment, a strange green light appeared on the black bone.

The light quickly spread and covered Lin Xiaoxiao's whole body.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a warm force flowing in her body, the twisted bones began to slowly recover, the muscle tissue reconnected, and the broken blood vessels healed quickly.

Her power returned to her body in an instant.

Lin Xiaoxiao got up from the ground and swung the bone sword again, launching a more fierce attack on the monsters.

If this scene was put outside, it would definitely cause a lot of shock.

A pseudo-transcendent, wielding a sword against three sequence 9s.

Not to mention whether they can fight, just this kind of courage is destined to Lin Xiaoxiao's extraordinary achievements in the future.

Lin Shan also gradually realized the extraordinaryness of Lin Xiaoxiao. In his opinion, the most powerful trait of Lin Xiaoxiao is not the so-called talent or the fighting instinct.

But no matter what opponent she met, she was not afraid. When he said it, Lin Xiaoxiao had the courage to fight at the first time.

This was not recklessness. In the face of the suppression of the life level, recklessness rarely occurred.

In addition to the useless dream servant, Lin Xiaoxiao was born with a special talent. This talent was that she would not be affected by the powerful momentum, which was the premise for being able to fight across levels.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood up again, her movements were faster than before, and she began to use her talents interspersed.

However, this was an unfair and impossible battle.

After dozens of moves, she was knocked to the ground again.

The monster's claws pierced deeply into her abdomen, and blood gushed out.

Her body was injured horribly again, and there was almost no hope of survival.

Just when she was about to lose consciousness, the green light flashed again, her wounds healed quickly, and the power returned to her body.

In this way, Lin Xiaoxiao was knocked down by monsters again and again, and was rescued again and again.

Every recovery was accompanied by severe pain and despair, but she never gave up.

She knew that as long as the bone master was there, she would not really fall.

Finally, when she was knocked to the ground for the sixth time, the monster's fangs were close to her throat.

She waited expectantly for the familiar green light, but this time, the green light did not appear.

Lin Shan did not make a move.

Lin Xiaoxiao was full of trust in her heart, and she firmly believed that Lin Shan would save her at the last moment.

So she planned to exchange her life for another life, and fight to the death to exchange for a monster.

Even she herself did not realize that this time, it was a real death to face the last blow.

Just as the monster's fangs were about to pierce her throat, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

At the moment of lightning flashing, the bone sword burst into a dazzling light.

Lin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and held the bone sword tightly, and all the strength of her body was concentrated at this moment.

She swung the sword fiercely, and in an instant, the sword blade slashed through the monster's body and split it in half.

She felt the power in her body burst out, surpassing the previous limit.

She broke through and reached the life level of sequence 9.

The two monsters behind her were startled by her sudden burst of energy. They had not been able to capture Lin Xiaoxiao for such a long time, so they had already begun to retreat.

"I succeeded?"

"Uncle Bone, did this succeed?"

She looked at the black bone around her waist with surprise.

Lin Shan did not speak.

The bet was right.

He made the right bet.

To break through the limit, one must truly experience life and death. Of course, not everyone who experiences life and death can break through.

Two conditions must be met.

The first condition is to reach the limit of the current life level.

The second condition is to have enough accumulation. What is the specific accumulation? It can be understood as the number of battles or pseudo-life and death experiences.

These are all integrated speculations made by Lin Shan based on the information obtained. Although there is a certain basis, it is not necessarily true.

Fortunately, it was successful, and he did not need to change people.

A few seconds later.

After being promoted, Lin Xiaoxiao, holding a bone sword, chopped all the remaining monsters to death.

She panted and stood among the corpses on the ground. There was no bloodthirstiness or madness in her eyes, and she remained calm all the time.

"Congratulations, you are now Sequence 9." A voice came from the black bone, "Lin Xiaoxiao, do you believe me?"

"Why do you ask? Bone... Of course I believe you." Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the black bone in confusion.

"Since you believe me, don't go back to the Ivory Tower next. There is nothing to teach you there. Follow me to go deeper. I am tired of these Sequence 9s." Lin Shan said lightly, "Now you are qualified to cooperate with me to kill Sequence 8, or even Sequence 7."

"But I still have a lot of things to learn..."

"I can teach you everything they teach you. If you insist on going to the Ivory Tower, we can only go our separate ways here." Lin Shan said. With his current mental strength, he can already control the bones to move on their own. Returning to the Ivory Tower is tantamount to a waste of time.

"Uncle Bone... I will follow you." Almost without hesitation, Lin Xiaoxiao chose to follow the black bone.
