Chapter 212: Chapter 15 Victory! A Fruitful Harvest (Requesting Recommendation Votes)_2
He is the family heir, and the Cosmic Palace Sword belongs to him, so why would he choose another sword-type spiritual artifact?
Selecting a defensive spiritual artifact is the best strategy.
"As you wish, Warrior Wang Shouzhe." The Artifact Spirit quickly changed its address, "You can choose energy defense, half-energy and half-physical defense, pure physical defense. You can also choose battle armor, shield, or jewelry types."
Clearly, different identities have different treatments, and a warrior’s privileges are far better than a militiaman’s.
Wang Shouzhe pondered slightly and said, "I want a shield type, half-energy and half-physical defense."
He had always been longing for the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield that Ancestor Longyan sold back in the day.
It’s worth mentioning that he had already written to Zhong Xingwang some time ago, asking him to redeem the Turtle Scale Treasure Shield at a premium.
That spiritual artifact was granted by Ancestor Longyan’s master, bearing extraordinary significance to the ancestor.
"As you wish, Warrior Wang Shouzhe."
Then, before Wang Shouzhe, there was a ripple in space, and a shield about the size of a basin floated before him.
It was entirely in a rustic, heavy bronze color, engraved with many enigmatic runes, emitting a lively glow, appearing very exquisite and solid.
Clearly, this was yet another upper-grade spiritual artifact.
Wang Shouzhe acquired the shield and discovered that despite its heavy appearance, it was very lightweight, allowing free movement once fitted on his left arm.
When he infused it with Profound Qi, the shield emitted a cyan glow, and the energy condensed into an energy shield, shaped like a curved umbrella with a diameter of over two meters.
When deployed, it could block all incoming attacks, and its direction could be freely adjusted by rotating his arm.
Wang Shouzhe was greatly satisfied, quickly retracting the umbrella-shaped energy shield.
Qi Refining Realm wielding spiritual artifacts is indeed challenging, and even in such a short while, he felt a large amount of Profound Qi draining.
"Husband, give your shield a name," Liua Ruolan suggested, as her Qiushui Sword had a name, and they couldn’t let the upper-grade spirit shield be without one.
"Seeing you so rustic and heavy yet lively, it’s clear you are an outstanding defensive spirit shield," Wang Shouzhe pondered, "Let’s call you Pot Lid."
"Pot Lid?" A drop of cold sweat appeared on Liua Ruolan’s forehead, her husband’s quirky naming habits hadn’t changed, and she chimed in, "Husband, it might develop intelligence in the future, don’t belittle it."
This, at least, is an upper-grade spiritual artifact; how unsightly is the name Pot Lid?
"Alright, since my wife is not satisfied, I’ll change it." Wang Shouzhe said, "This spirit shield will be the guardian treasure of our family’s legacy. Hopefully, if it develops intelligence, it won’t change its initial intention; let’s call it ’Heart Guard Shield’."
The name was quite decent, and Liua Ruolan agreed.
Then Wang Shouzhe initially intended to start the fourth trial immediately. However, after briefly using the Heart Guard Shield, approximately one-thirtieth of his Profound Qi was consumed.
Given his nature, he’s naturally not in a hurry to start the battle. He rested slightly, meditated to fully restore his Profound Qi.
Only then did he begin the fourth trial.
After a ceremony.
A large demon puppet appeared in the Trial Ground.
As soon as it appeared, the surrounding vines aggressively wrapped around it.
But how could a demon puppet in the Spirit Platform Realm be so easy to deal with?
Its hands moved, claws like blades flipping up and down, slicing the vines into countless segments as they approached.
It carried out its loyal mission to defeat Wang Shouzhe.
Continuously attacking like a demon lawnmower, cutting through the vines. Where it passed, vine wreckage flew everywhere.
A Spirit Platform Realm demon puppet, so ferocious and domineering, was already anticipated by Wang Shouzhe.
The vine array prepared for so long was meant for it.
Wang Shouzhe calmly executed his body technique, weaving through the vines, which seemed alive, making way for him. After he passed, they closed up immediately.
The demon puppet’s speed was very fast, but no matter how fast, it had to clear the vines constantly. Its speed was reduced by seventy to eighty percent compared to its peak.
How could it catch up to Wang Shouzhe?
Moreover, the demon puppet tried various maneuvers, such as low-altitude leaps, to intercept Wang Shouzhe.
But unfortunately, it underestimated Wang Shouzhe’s vines, stretching five to six zhang wide, forming barriers in the air like a demon’s long hair wildly dancing.
Once tangled with the demon puppet, they fiercely pulled it down. The scene was indeed terrifying.
Despite the demon puppet’s continuous roar, it remained helpless against Wang Shouzhe.
Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe began replanting the severed vines or stimulating them to regrow, playing hide-and-seek with the demon puppet in the vine forest.
Time passed little by little, and the demon puppet grew increasingly irritable.
Despite its immense power, it wasn’t a perpetual motion machine. Depleting most of its power in the vine entanglement, struggling to chase Wang Shouzhe, kept exhausting its strength.
If this continued, its power would eventually be depleted.
Indeed, after an hour, the demon puppet’s speed slowed significantly, and its explosive power became insufficient.
The vines continued to grow endlessly, causing endless hindrances. Its scale armor also started showing some signs of deterioration.
