"Is this the Lu Ze Elder Ding keeps talking about?"
"Hah, the youthful vigor of this lad is truly admirable. If you ask me, we might as well just raise our hands high and spare him this once."
"Spare him? The Sect Covenant has already been signed. If we spare him... then Elder Ding will have to go to Repentance Valley for quiet cultivation!"
"Such a young lad, and his cultivation realm is not even high... Can he really create an Illusion Realm of that caliber?"
"I don't believe it either. Let's just watch and see today."
The elders whispered among themselves, discussing this matter.
When mentioning Ding Mingcang going to Repentance Valley to face the wall, a few elders beamed with delight, and actually held a hint of anticipation.
Yet they knew in their hearts that this was an absolute impossibility.
Therefore, the gazes they cast toward Lu Ze carried a mix of pity and sympathy.
"Disciple Lu Ze greets the esteemed elders."
Lu Ze smiled faintly and cupped his fists toward the elders.
"Cut the nonsense and start right away!"
Ding Mingcang pulled a long face and spoke with an impatient tone.
Lu Ze, however, interrupted him unhurriedly: "Before we begin, we might as well set the criteria for judgment first. How does Elder Ding feel about that?"
The "Sword Dao" Ding Mingcang specified last time, he had originally thought it was just something the other party casually tossed out.
Until he made the game did he realize how difficult it was.
Therefore, Ding Mingcang was not someone with a fickle mind on the surface.
If they did not agree beforehand and argued about it later, he worried he would suffer a loss, so he intentionally kept his guard up.
Ding Mingcang glanced at the rest of the elders, then nodded: "Very well. Then let me state my requirements first."
"First, the Illusion Realm you create must, like Demonic Path Escape, display ingenuity different from existing Illusion Realms."
"Second, since the theme is sword practice, the only thing disciples entering the Illusion Realm will do is swing their swords."
"Third, there are no small number of sword practice Illusion Realm Trials in the sect, but disciples do not use them much. Since you claim to be the author of Demonic Path Escape, the new Illusion Realm must also make disciples obsessed with it..."
"Within one week, the average time disciples spend entering the new Illusion Realm must not be lower than two hours!"
"The number of daily sword swings must not be lower than three thousand times!"
These were the requirements he had prepared long ago.
On the premise of "sword practice", one must both display ingenuity and continuously practice the sword...
This was the first difficulty.
Making the average time disciples spent using the Illusion Realm every day no less than two hours, and the number of sword swings no less than three thousand times, was the second difficulty.
Even if there were one or two, or even a hundred or two hundred fanatical fans of Demonic Path Escape brushing data for Lu Ze every day.
There was still no way to sway the average usage time of the entire sect's disciples.
Ordinary disciples had no interest at all in things like Illusion Realm Trials.
Even the Illusion Realm Trials left behind by those ancient grandmasters were unable to attract the numerous disciples to persist in cultivating every day.
Even if Lu Ze truly was the designer of Demonic Path Escape, he did not believe the other party could accomplish this.
Ding Mingcang looked at Lu Ze with a hint of smugness.
Yet who would have thought that the latter would speak with absolute calmness:
"Just these?"
Ding Mingcang was slightly stunned: "Just these."
He had originally wanted to ask if he should add a bit more?
Yet for a moment, he truly had no other ideas.
Lu Ze was not doing it to show off, but genuinely felt it was simple.
According to the intensity of the new Illusion Realm, let alone swinging the sword three thousand times a day, even ten thousand times was possible.
"I also have one requirement," Lu Ze said. "Within one week, the Enforcement Hall is forbidden from confiscating any Artifacts and items related to the Illusion Tower."
"Heh, that's simple. I'm not low enough to stoop to that."
As soon as Ding Mingcang said this, the surrounding disciples were thrilled.
More than a hundred mini Illusion Towers of the Inner Disciples were confiscated every day, causing the market selling these contraptions to even start facing shortages and price hikes.
According to Ding Mingcang's meaning,
Could they play the Illusion Realm Trials to their heart's content within a week?
Flying high with joy!
Even if the new Illusion Realm wasn't fun, just playing Demonic Path Escape would be enough.
"With Elder Ding's guarantee, this disciple can rest easy."
Lu Ze smiled and nodded.
"Then let's begin."
With that, he walked up to the Illusion Tower and placed the prepared Illusion Crystal Stone inside.
All the disciples present had long since put on the tokens distributed in advance.
As Spiritual Energy poured in, the disciples successively entered the new Illusion Realm world.
A line of large characters unexpectedly appeared in the Illusion Realm space--
"Plants vs. Zombies".
