chapter 48

"Is this an immersive holographic game? It's almost indistinguishable from reality!" Yao Ziyan marveled at the lifelike grassland around her, her surprise evident on her pretty face.

"Be careful, the attack is coming soon," Luo Chuan's timely reminder brought Yao Ziyan back to attention.

Now, without any cultivation base, Yao Ziyan found herself holding a silver-white dagger in her hand—a weapon she hadn't possessed before entering the game.

The curved blade gleamed in the sunlight, casting a dazzling reflection.

Luo Chuan closely monitored the monitor, observing Yao Ziyan standing poised on the grassland, wielding the dagger with a graceful fluidity.

"Here it comes," Yao Ziyan murmured as a wolf's howl echoed.

A giant wolf leaped towards her, but Yao Ziyan, seemingly transforming into a phantom, effortlessly evaded its attack with a graceful bend at the waist. In a swift motion, her dagger sliced through the air, striking the wolf with deadly precision.

With a thump, the giant wolf collapsed to the ground, defeated. But the challenge wasn't over—three more wolves appeared around her.

Undeterred, Yao Ziyan maintained her composure, tightening her grip on the dagger as she prepared for the next onslaught.

Her movements were elegant yet precise, resembling an exquisite dance as she deftly attacked and evaded her opponents.

Witnessing Yao Ziyan's prowess, Luo Chuan couldn't help but feel a twinge of astonishment and perhaps even a hint of envy. After all, his own clerk had effortlessly outperformed him.

"Boss, that was incredible! Is this world inside the game real?" Yao Ziyan exclaimed excitedly after removing the helmet.

Luo Chuan pondered for a moment before asking the system, "Can the Tower of Trial be considered a special world?"

The system's response was succinct: "From the host's perspective, yes."

With a wry smile, Luo Chuan confirmed, "Yes, you could say that."

As Luo Chuan left to buy breakfast, Yao Ziyan couldn't help but admire his ability to create such a lifelike world.

Meanwhile, intrigued by the challenge, Yao Ziyan decided to re-enter the Tower of Trial, this time opting for the normal mode to experience a greater challenge.

As tensions rose in Jiuyao City due to the impending opening of the ruins in the Jiuyao Mountains, conflicts among cultivators became increasingly frequent.
