The wind continued to blow, Lu Xun didn't move after putting down the brush.

He wasn't trying to look cool, it was because his mind was too exhausted, he was a little dazed, and needed to adjust.

To be precise, if he wasn't supporting himself on the table with his left hand, his legs might have given way.

Now, he could continue to level up, as he still had a lot of experience points. It's just a pity that although leveling up would restore his health and mana, it couldn't make up for the mental exhaustion, so he decided not to level up for now.

What's more, he was already as weak as a wet noodle. Breaking through in this situation would seem too strange.

A man, being weak sometimes isn't anything to be ashamed of!

Elder Qiu Shui, as the head of the Outer Sect Elders, was a meticulous person. She saw that Lu Xun's condition wasn't good, so she took him aside to rest.

The Outer Sect Disciples, seeing Little Martial Grand-Aunt's exhausted appearance, immediately understood the standard for this trial—the standard was to be like Little Martial Grand-Aunt, drawing until you were exhausted!

Lu Xun didn't know that because he had set an example, this trial seemed to have gone astray.

Originally, everyone could stop when they had drawn enough, but Little Martial Grand-Aunt had worked so hard. If they, as disciples and grandchildren, didn't draw until they fainted, wouldn't that be a bit unreasonable?

Next, it was time for Ji Li's performance.

Lu Xun found an open space and sat down on the ground. If he didn't have the burden of being an idol, he might have collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.

He took out two dates picked by Mao Nanbei from his Storage Ring. After eating them, he felt cool all over, and the dizziness was a little better.

He watched Ji Li walk over, pick up the brush, and dip it in the Ink… her hand didn't even shake!

As expected of a super-powered girl, she had great strength!

This little girl had great strength and good stamina. It would be a waste if she didn't become a "perpetual motion machine."

Just as Lu Xun thought, Ji Li, with her natural strength, had a certain advantage in this trial. At least when she first picked up the brush and dipped it in Ink, she didn't have much burden.

Next, it depended on how she would draw.

Ji Li held the brush, walked to the huge Talisman Paper, and without thinking, chose the edge of the area where Lu Xun had drawn.

She wanted to take the place closest to what Lu Xun had drawn, preferably drawing a circle to surround it.

The moment the tip of the brush touched the Talisman Paper, Ji Li's body trembled slightly.

After experiencing it firsthand, she realized how difficult it was to draw with this brush.

She began to draw, her movements were simple, drawing intermittently, and she couldn't even draw a continuous line.

The Outer Sect Disciples then realized that the difficulty of this trial might be greater than they had imagined!

After all, Ji Li was a cultivation genius with eight ripples. Even she was having such difficulty, so the difficulty could be imagined.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Lu Xun again. Little Martial Grand-Aunt had drawn with great flourish on the Talisman Paper in the end!

Their respect arose once again.

Lu Xun was paying attention to Ji Li while resting, and then he was surprised to find that his reputation points had begun to rise slightly again!

"What's going on? I've already stepped down to rest, how can I still gain reputation points?" Lu Xun was a little puzzled.

Time passed by, and Ji Li spent a lot of effort to draw a continuous line. Then, she learned from Lu Xun and wanted to try drawing a straight line first, but the line she drew was very twisted, like an earthworm.

After all, she was a magical girl who sacrificed her brain for development. The silly her didn't try to draw the line straight. She just wanted to draw the line as long as possible, and then circle everything Lu Xun had drawn!

That damned possessiveness!

Lu Xun watched her movements, slowly understood some things, and then the corners of his mouth twitched, feeling speechless.

Towards the end of her drawing, Ji Li's whole body was swaying, and finally she drew a twisted figure, surrounding what Lu Xun had drawn.

She smiled foolishly, even with a bit of smugness, very satisfied with her results, and then her eyes went dark and she fell backward.

Elder Qiu Shui waved her sleeve slightly, and Ji Li floated backward, landing next to Lu Xun.

Lu Xun quickly took out two dates and stuffed them into Ji Li's mouth, making her cheeks bulge.

She looked like a little hamster.

Fortunately, she was only mentally and spiritually exhausted. The super-powered girl wouldn't be physically exhausted. She still had the strength to chew carefully, and then whispered in her heart:

——"So sweet."

A cool sensation swept through her entire body, and her energy, spirit, and essence were slowly recovering, but she was too silly to notice any of this.

She only felt that it was so sweet.

Ji Li took about twenty minutes to complete her drawing, which was a very good performance. If she were doing a mission, she would have almost achieved 100% completion.

The remaining Outer Sect Disciples watched as Ji Li nearly fainted. Before taking the stage, each of them took a deep breath, as if they were heading to the execution ground.

Lu Xun had set a good example, and Ji Li followed closely behind. The remaining Outer Sect Disciples now knew that the standard was to draw as much as possible as long as they didn't die!

——Don't stop until you faint!

A perfectly good Outer Sect Trial was forcibly led astray by Lu Xun. Each Outer Sect Disciple was challenging their physical limits as if they were self-abusing. Elder Qiu Shui caught one collapsing body after another, and she was a little dumbfounded.

Shen Yan and the Peak Lords on Evergreen Peak were also a little dumbfounded. The purpose of this trial was just to make the disciples understand what "entering the subtle" meant. How did it suddenly become so "tragic"?

Xu Zhongcheng, who also had eight ripples, didn't want to lose to Ji Li.

Unfortunately, his talent in entering the subtle was about the same as Ji Li's, and Ji Li was a muscle-bound girl, giving her a slight advantage. So he persevered, but he still couldn't last as long as Ji Li. In the end, he foamed at the mouth!

Elder Qiu Shui: "..."

Are these Outer Sect Disciples all going to break down?

Lu Xun, who was sitting in the back watching the excitement, had a smile on his face, a gentle smile, and encouragement in his eyes. He looked like a handsome and gentle perfect elder, completely unaware that this was his fault.

Even if some Outer Sect Disciples didn't perform very well, he would say a few words of encouragement. His voice was magnetic, but his tone was so gentle that it felt like a spring breeze, making people feel his concern.

Little Martial Grand-Aunt himself did so well, but I'm so useless... Little Martial Grand-Aunt is so nice!

——The feeling of reverence is about to explode!

Isn't it just reputation points? Take it! Take it!

Lu Xun looked at the tools in front of him and felt that they were very cooperative.

Isn't it just selling a smile, just saying a few words of encouragement, like holding a book signing event? What's so difficult about that?

Stable increase in reputation points is the key!

When the entire Demon Sect becomes my die-hard fan one day, the reputation points will probably overflow!

What's more, it's not bad for these Outer Sect Disciples. They do need encouragement.

Yes! Although I sell smiles, talk nonsense, and attract fans, I know I'm a good ancestor.

"I feel like I'm on the Right Path." The smile on Lu Xun's face suddenly became even more gentle.

(ps: A new week has begun. I still want to continue to be the first on the signing list. I am asking for recommendation tickets and rewards for these two main data for the list, to help me get on the list!)
