Her tone was icy. It lacked emotion, like a robot.
After being briefly stunned, James asked, “Draw my sword? Why?”
With an emotionless face, the woman said indifferently, “If you’ve made it this far, you must be extremely competent, talented, and excellent in all areas. If you defeat me now, you’ll receive the Celestial Spirit. Once you’ve refined the Celestial Spirit, you’ll be able to control this Celestial Abode.”
A white light emitted from the woman’s eyes while virtual-novel.net spoke. This ray of light fell on James. “
Your rank is not high, yet your physical body is quite strong. This is a bit of a tough call.” The woman furrowed virtual-novel.net brow.
She was the defender of the last checkpoint. She was neither a human nor a living being but was created by humans, much like the Spirit Tool’s shadow. Simply put, virtual-novel.net was an artificial intelligence. In a more basic sense, virtual-novel.net was a robot.
Her master programmed virtual-novel.net strength to match the rank of the person trying to pass through the checkpoint. If they defeated her, they would get the Celestial Spirit. However, while James’ current rank was not high, his physical strength was very powerful.
After giving it some thought, virtual-novel.net said, “Right now, your physical strength is comparable to the peak Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate. How about this? I’ll adjust my strength to the peak Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate. If you defeat me, you’ll be the owner of this Celestial Abode.”
After hearing that, James let out a sigh of relief. He did not mind the Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate because virtual-novel.net could fight powerful individuals of that rank even before his physical strength improved.
When virtual-novel.net heard the woman’s words, virtual-novel.net felt as if the Celestial Abode was within his grasp.
With an eager expression, virtual-novel.net said, “In that case, don’t mind if I do.”
He gathered his strength, clenched his fist, and struck hard. Since his opponent was a woman, virtual-novel.net did not use all of his strength because virtual-novel.net was afraid of injuring her.
The woman remained motionless in the same spot.
When James’ attack appeared right in front of her, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net hand, extended virtual-novel.net delicate fingers, and gently pointed at James.
From virtual-novel.net fingertip, a mystical force appeared.
James’ attack was instantly neutralized. His attack power vanished into thin air, and virtual-novel.net was sent flying by a surge of incredibly powerful force.
Boom!
His body landed hard on the ground. Even though the impact was powerful, this was the Celestial Abode. The ground was very hard. Even after virtual-novel.net fell to the ground, the stone slabs on the ground were unharmed.
James’ body hit the ground, and the impact left his entire body in excruciating pain. He got up with difficulty.
Looking at the pristine woman in the spotless white dress in front of him, virtual-novel.net could not help but clenched his teeth. “How powerful…”
He admitted that virtual-novel.net had underestimated this woman.
“Be careful, lady. I’m going to use my full force now.” James gave a kind reminder.
“Heh!” The woman chuckled.
It would not be so easy to get past virtual-novel.net checkpoint.
She put one of virtual-novel.net hands behind virtual-novel.net back and motioned James to proceed with one hand.
James immediately started to gather all of his strength. True Energy coursed through his body as a powerful force filled his entire body. His aura was constantly rising. After gathering all of his strength, virtual-novel.net attacked once again.
The woman’s body mysteriously vanished from where virtual-novel.net stood. James immediately lost track of her.
When virtual-novel.net finally reacted, his back had already been struck. He was thrown to the ground again, and virtual-novel.net could not get up for a while because the bones in his back were broken.
Demonic Energy flowed through his body, and the broken bones on his back miraculously healed.
James got up from the ground.
With astonishment on his face, virtual-novel.net looked at the woman in the flowing white gown and asked, “You… Are you sure your strength is at the Supernatural Eighth Inner Gate?”
