NOVEL NEXT Chapter 181: 118, this is cheating!_4
Although he did not participate in this instance in the game, it was still not difficult for him to discern the intention of the original Divine Emperor.
"Since it's an inheritance, it must be designed to test people, which means, there must be some kind of subtlety hidden within it as well as a method to clear the level."
Before Xu Yuan had time to think for too long, those corpses he saw in the darkness, emanating a stench of rot, swiftly surrounded him.
In this process, he also heard the sound of quite a few bodies falling to the ground, very dull, like a massive boulder crashing down.
Although it sounded somewhat comical, Xu Yuan did not take it lightly.
Because he felt an aura of spiritual power flow that was not weaker than that of a Core Formation expert, even if these corpses had lost their lives, they still retained the instinct to manipulate spiritual power from when they were alive.
"Moreover, considering the arrows I encountered as soon as I entered, along with the direction of the inheritance in this tomb, it's not hard to deduce... The challenge in this level is either how to use spiritual power to defeat them without being locked on by those arrows or to observe the key to their use of spiritual power, camouflaging my own spiritual power to match theirs."
Employing multitasking, Xu Yuan alternated between dodging and kicking, sending these lightweight corpses flying, while silently starting to observe.
"If it's the latter, then it means there must be something in common in the way they use spiritual power; if not, then it is the former."
And Xu Yuan was more inclined to believe it was the latter.

Because he noticed that the spiritual power used by these corpses was not only completely different from that on the arrows that had been shot at him, but there was also no correlation with other corpses.
"Does that mean, the key lies not in the nature of the spiritual power, but the way it operates?"
He almost immediately identified the key point, his Divine Sense ceaselessly observing the flow of spiritual power within their bodies,
but curiously, no matter how carefully he observed, he could never discern any commonality.
"Could it be the former?"
Yet if it were the former, Xu Yuan had already attempted it many times during this period.
No matter how faint the spiritual power, as soon as it was used, it would inevitably be detected.
Could it really be necessary to break through force by force?
But Xu Yuan did not really want to bet on this probability.
Watching the scene of the young man sweating profusely in the Water Mirror, the scholar couldn't help but show a confident smile.
He really hadn't misjudged, the original Divine Emperor's inheritance, how could it be so easy to decipher?
"It seems, the Snow Emperor is going to lose."
He said, smiling at Jing Lixue.
"Is that so?"
Jing Lixue's face still bore a smile teeming with joy, as if she had the same unwavering belief in her lover overcoming obstacles in the face of despair like that of a girl deeply in love.
...
As the corpses closed in, Xu Yuan's range of movement became smaller and smaller, forcing him to use spiritual power more frequently.
And this, in turn, made the spiritual power arrows fire more frequently.
If he continued like this, without breaking through with force, he might even lose this chance.
"Wait a minute?!"
Suddenly, Xu Yuan caught a glimpse of several corpses lying on the ground in the corner of his eye. The sound of the bodies that had clumsily fallen to the ground flashed through his mind; it was very dull, like carrying the weight of more than one person.
Xu Yuan understood.
The Four Divine Formation, he had almost forgotten this critical keyword.
Since it was an inheritance related to the Formation, it meant that the inheritance should also be related to the Formation.
He had thought that the bodies falling to the ground were due to years of inactivity, yet as some resurrected bodies fell, others would fall in turn.
Besides, the sound they made when they hit the ground was extremely dull and heavy, yet when his foot touched their bodies, they felt extremely light.
This was clearly against common sense.
Having understood the key point,
this time, Xu Yuan no longer saw these corpses as individuals, but observed the group of corpses as a whole.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to detect the pattern of spiritual power running through the corpses.
The more Xu Yuan looked, the more astonished he became.
The energy flows within each corpse seemed unrelated, but when these patterns were combined together, it turned out to be an extremely complex Formation.
When some of the corpses became active, the flow of spiritual power in the ones that had fallen dramatically sped up and their consumption surged, as if they were supplying spiritual energy to the others.
Yet there was no visible pathway of transmission between them.
"Is this spiritual power resonance?!"
The more Xu Yuan observed, the more the ingenuity amazed him, and he found himself involuntarily immersed in it.
This also resulted in an increased chance of being hit by the spiritual power arrows; in less than a moment, he had acquired several bloody wounds.
Seeing the person in the Water Mirror nearly covered in red, the scholar finally let down the heart he had been holding halfway up, shook his head with feigned regret, sighed loudly, and his mouth curled into a smug smile.
"Snow Emperor, what a pity indeed, it seems you really misjudged after all. I will gratefully accept this Primordial Spirit Elixir Treasure."
Jing Lixue remained expressionless as if she still firmly believed that he would not lose, and appeared indifferent toward the Primordial Spirit Elixir Treasure.
But to the True Person from the Confucian-Mo Pavilion, her behavior seemed to be nothing more than saving face.
In his opinion, her heart must be bleeding, and she might even be cursing the uselessness of the good-looking fool who, despite his handsome face that made many a man jealous, was just a naive young man unable to see his own limitations.
However, his smug expression did not last long.
The next moment, when he saw the scene emerging in the Water Mirror, his eyes bulged in shock, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Impossible! He must have cheated!"
