The Ancient Realm Goddess
Ancestral Protective Statue
Qing Yue'er stared at the multi-story building that was right in front of her. The building had only one large door at the front. On the side, the building is surrounded by large yellow bamboo trees.
When Qing Yue'er sent out her spirit power, she could feel if the bamboo tree was not a simple thing. There might be some sort of protective formation overlaying it.
The Weaponry Hall included the forbidden area of the Xinfeng academy. Even elders could not enter carelessly. Once an elder barged in but had to lose his life from entering a trap aray.
Qing Yue'er approached the large door made of steel iron. A sacred feeling from the ancient aura emanated from the building. Maybe the Weaponry Hall has been around for a long time.
At the center of the door was a hole with a strange shape. Qing Yue'er brought the token she got from the academy head closer and put it into the hole section.
*click
A key match sounds as the token enters its place. Just then the tightly shut door began to tremble and opened slowly.
Qing Yue'er circulated her spirit power to check the state inside the room. His eyes shone with astonishment as he discovered the entire contents.
Hundreds of weapons neatly arranged in wooden shelves. Starting from the sword, saber, spear, arrow bow, and axe are all there. Yet this was still only the first floor, how was it on the second floor and above?
Even so, Qing Yue'er was not too interested in the weapons on this first floor. Because the higher the level of the floor, the higher the quality of a weapon.
Upon further inspection, it seemed that there was no trap formation there. With steady steps, he walked away from the first floor and started climbing the stairs towards the second floor.
This time he was even more enthusiastic. As his eyes swept through the contents of the floor, he could find that some of the weapons in this room had a protective aray layer. If he can break the aray then he can have that weapon.
But just as he had started to enter the armed area, his foot stepped on something that felt strange. When he examined it, it was a small formation inscribed on the floor.
He could only sigh heavily. It doesn't seem easy to take a weapon from this place. It was only fitting that even the elder would not dare to come here except for someone in authority. Maybe they are afraid of harming themselves.
*buss
Green smoke gushed out from the wall hole towards him. Smoke is like having eyes when it moves to find its target. With a flash, a wisp of green smoke swept over Qing Yue'er's skin.
With a quick movement, he immediately stepped away. Why would there be such a troublesome thing?
The traps in this place were not just limited to a mechanism that required one to spend his energy in battle. However there were also those that allowed the newcomers to fight with other things such as poison, spirit power even alchemy science.
This may sound unique. More like the founder of this Hall wanted someone to test first before obtaining a weapon. If it was like that then not just anyone could possess a weapon from the Weaponry Hall.
Just like Qing Yue. This time he had triggered the poison mechanism hidden in this place. Green smoke swept over his skin, he could feel his pores starting to open and caused the smoke to enter his body.
Qing Yue'er was unhappy. He had been very careful before but still careless. Could it be that this troublesome thing was indeed hiding so well?
His organs became uncomfortable. It seemed like the poison was starting to react within his body. With a jolt of his sleeve, a white porcelain bottle floated in front of him. He immediately drank the Yin Yang water to the end.
"Hehe, just a poison like this is not enough to test me!" Qing Yue'er sneered.
With the Yin Yang holy water in his hands, this kind of lowly poison was completely meaningless. Once the poison entered his body, the Yin and Yang energies would neutralize the poison quickly.
If he could, even a poison could be utilized as a breakthrough resource. Unfortunately, he was still unable to do such a thing.
Qing Yue'er leaned her hand right on the face of a wooden statue standing in the corner of the room. His demonic smile spread across his thin lips. He was satisfied to have such a rare treasure that was extremely useful.
Suddenly a mechanism activated sound rang out in his ear. The sound was heard from every corner of the room.
Qing Yue'er furrowed her brows deeply. After that he saw his own hand leaned against the face of the wooden statue. His satisfied smile was instantly replaced with a slick smile.
"Damn! So my hands are so stupid?!"
*woossh wossh
The three humanoid statues shot rapidly towards Qing Yue'er. Each of them carried a wooden sword in his hand.
"Woodsword? Are you kidding me?!"
Qing Yue'er laughed at the statues that were only armed with a wooden sword. But the more he saw her the stranger she felt.
The wooden statue, wooden sword, and in each statue had hairpins stuck in its head. The hairpin was made of glittering silver.
As he wanted to think further, one of the wooden statues threw his sword at him. With a glance Qing Yue'er leaned her body to the side and the sword passed by just like that.
*boomm
Qing Yue'er's pupils shrank when she saw the explosion resulting from the collision of the sword into the stone wall. Their strength seemed to be undeniable.
"It seems I should train with you guys."
The more he thought about it, the more impatient he became. This is a profitable test!
With a steady step, Qing Yue'er started to swing her hand and started the fight empty-handed. The aura from the peak of the earth realm immediately spread throughout the room.
This time his opponent could not be underestimated. Even as his fist smashed into the statue's chest, Qing Yue'er could feel a stinging pain in her arm. His heart could not stop being surprised, why could wood be that strong?
"Let me beat you!" ying Yue'er shouted. His fists began to change at an invisible speed.
"Shadow Boxing Technique!"
*banngg!!

Inside the quiet room, Sikong Yuan was bowing before ancestor Yin Hu. He had just relayed what had happened inside the meeting hall of the elders.
"Heh, it's a good thing if Long Ye and Wang Tianji re-establish a good relationship" said ancestor Yin Hu.
"Then what reward did Qing Yu get?"
"He is allowed to enter the Weaponry Hall and is free to choose any weapon" Sikong Yuan replied.
The eyes of ancestor Yin Hu collapsed shut when he heard Sikong Yuan's words. He immediately checked out what was going on in the Weaponry Hall. After all, he could not let the child wretch.
However his heart was jolted when he sensed Qing Yue'er's fight with the wooden statues. He never expected the child would accomplish such a thing. His eyes immediately opened with shrinking pupils.
"He has activated the ancestor's protective statue" he said in disbelief.
Sikong Yuan who heard was instantly dumbfounded. To be able to activate the ancestral protective statue, meant that the child was indeed quite immoral.
"It seems like he's really a tough kid" Sikong Yuan said.
Ancestor Yin Hu shook his head. "But that's not the case. If he can't face the statue, then ...."
"Old Song, quickly go save him!"
