Going to Take It Back
King of the Underworld's power is beyond doubt.
The loser, fearing King of the Underworld, could only hastily leave.
He did want to influence others, but so many people wouldn't allow him to do so, so no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to leave.
He had barely left when the person who had asked him for help followed him.
Since he failed, and failed right from the start, then the reward he was owed should naturally be reclaimed.
The others understood this implicitly; they had actually thought the same thing.
But just thinking about it, unless you really fail from the start, it's actually a huge loss and very embarrassing.
Everyone looked at Su Zhan and his group, not particularly surprised by what they saw, as they had been there many times before and had brought many people to try it.
The first Murals is the easiest to learn from and the easiest to pass.
Let them go on their own, it won't be a big problem.
The main challenge is that each subsequent Murals is more difficult than the last. To win, one must be an expert in Sword Dao, and that's just the basic requirement. So even if they are strong, they shouldn't have any problem with the first level, and they might even pass several levels. But to pass them all, one must be exceptionally skilled in Sword Dao.
It's important to know that you can't change people during this period, otherwise the Heavenly Painting Hall won't recognize it, otherwise someone might have already made it to the last two levels.
So far, no one has passed the last two levels.
The best you can achieve is reaching the tenth level. Those who pass are currently recuperating. Failure results in being devoured by the Sword Intent. How much you are injured depends on your strength. The further you go, the more severe the backlash becomes. Moreover, you are always at risk of being devoured by the Sword Intent throughout the process, so it is still very dangerous. Anyone who dares to come must have a certain level of confidence in themselves or want to challenge themselves.
Of course, there are also cases where the rewards offered are too high, making it difficult to refuse.
In any case, the backlash won't be fatal. If you have a certain level of strength, there's not much to worry about; it's not a big problem. So many people are still willing to try it.
But not everyone has the opportunity. Nobody is stupid enough to pay a huge price to hire someone who doesn't have real skills.
However, it's rare for someone to repeatedly ask the same person to play, since they've already failed before, and expecting them to clear the game is difficult, unless they fail in the last few levels, making people reconsider using them. For example, the person who failed on the tenth level was asked to come back.
He was currently to Su Zhan's left, appearing to be in complete control.
He was also the focus of everyone's attention, and naturally, people would notice Su Zhan standing to the side. Su Zhan was already quite eye-catching, so everyone's attention inevitably lingered on him.
Upon closer inspection, they immediately realized something was wrong.
This was Su Zhan's first time here. He didn't have time to study the Sword Cultivator's every move in the first Murals. He could only observe and practice at the same time, which was a great test of his strength and comprehension.
This Sword Cultivator's swordsmanship is quite tricky, so even those who tried it professionally before failed, and no one has ever succeeded.
Aside from King of the Underworld, everyone thought Su Zhan would be the first to fail, but the first to fail was someone else entirely. The main reason was that Su Zhan's sword strikes were always steady and precise, almost a one-to-one replica compared to the Sword Cultivator in the Murals.
This scene shocked everyone.
The person to Su Zhan's left glanced at him, but only for a moment before he looked away and focused on himself.
