Chapter 104: "Thanks for the hospitality, I'll treat you to roasted goose next time we meet!"_2
By then, it would become even more troublesome.
Soon—
Chen Qiu suddenly burst into laughter. He thought of a method. Although he didn't know if it would work, he treated it like a last resort. He absentmindedly took out a mid-grade Heavenly Dao Retrospection Law from his Storage Ring and crushed it.
Without any hesitation,
He abandoned the entry he had previously chosen when breaking through to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment and re-selected it.

"Entry Name": Slippery.
"Entry Level": Green.
"Entry Effect": Every time you are attacked, you will automatically teleport to a random space within thirty feet.

With this entry, it could barely be considered a movement technique.
Shortly, the time it took to drink a cup of tea passed, and the initially clear expanse of sea suddenly began to churn. Immediately after, ten thousand Puppets emerged from the depths of the sea, hovering in mid-air, surrounding him in the center.
He didn't wait to speak.
Over a thousand Magic Practitioner Puppets nearly simultaneously took the initiative to strike. Their index fingers sharply pointed at him, and instantly, thousands of miniature Thunder Snakes shot towards him, making him feel for the first time what his former opponents had experienced.
"..."
Chen Qiu stood in place, his eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the thousands of Thunder Snakes shooting straight at him; he stood there forcibly suppressing the subconscious desire to dodge, ready to withstand the assault of these thousands of Thunder Snakes.
At the same time—
As these Thunder Snakes were about to hit him, he noticed that among the remaining Magic Practitioner Puppets that had not yet taken action, another thousand were raising their hands, ready to strike. These Magic Practitioner Puppets did not attack simultaneously but rather staggered their attacks.
Just as the first Thunder Snake hit him.
He only felt a blur before his eyes, and when his vision restored, he had already appeared ten feet to the left. Chen Qiu glanced at the second challenge panel and chuckled lightly when he saw the result, looking toward the Puppets nearby.
"Is that all?"
"Hits Received: 1/10,000."
Just as he thought.
These Magic Practitioner Puppets couldn't possibly strike simultaneously, and even if they did strike at the same time, the distance and the uneven surfaces of his body would cause the exact arrival time of each Thunder Snake to vary.
As long as the determination speed of his entry "Slippery" was fast enough,
he could completely disappear from his original location after merely enduring the first Thunder Snake attack, in what seemed like a sky filled with thunder and rain. The results now were almost exactly as he had thought. If nothing unexpected happened,
it should be no problem for him to pass this second challenge easily.
Moreover, those Magic Practitioner Puppets also quickly flew to his side, and whether they were provoked or otherwise, they doubled their attack frequency immediately.
However—
With every new round of Thunder Snakes about to engulf Chen Qiu, he always managed to teleport away in time.
Thus...
On the vast boundless sea surface, a rather strange scene emerged.
Ten thousand Magic Practitioner Puppets kept launching countless Thunder Snakes, orbiting around Chen Qiu incessantly changing positions on the sea surface, while Chen Qiu managed to teleport multiple times every second, barely even able to make out his surroundings.
Before he could recover his sight after teleporting, he had already teleported once again.
And those Magic Practitioner Puppets became even more furious, with their attack frequency increasing by more than five times.
Since he could not make out his surroundings, he simply stopped trying to look. At this point, he had nothing else to do, so he might as well take a moment to rest his eyes.
In this manner—
God knows how much time passed.
He felt like his body no longer had the sensation of teleporting, and only then did he groggily open his eyes, standing on the sand and sweeping a glance around, noticing that the Magic Practitioner Puppets had somehow fallen on the beach nearby...
Huh? The beach?
Chen Qiu was startled, instantly coming to his senses, he quickly scanned his surroundings, and soon saw an old man with an expressionless face staring at him, holding a fishing rod in his arms, with a black fortune-telling flag planted beside him.
Am I back here again?
"..."
Before he could speak, the fortune-telling old man expressionlessly spoke first, "Awake? You seemed to be sleeping soundly. Sit here for a while, that old man is probably still on his way here."
"That old man, if I'm not mistaken, is probably not in a good mood right now."
"Uh..."
Chen Qiu, slightly embarrassed, carefully sat next to the fortune-telling old man and cautiously asked, "Is crossing the Forbidden Sea once tiring?"
"Yeah, otherwise he wouldn't have avoided seeing me for thirty years."
"Would crossing twice in one day be even more tiring?"
"What do you think?"
"Will he make things difficult for me?"
"Hard to say."
"..."
Chen Qiu didn't speak further, instead sitting dejectedly on the beach, gazing out at the sea. The second challenge's five hours had already ended, and it had been over fourteen hours since he entered the Inheritance Secret Realm.
It was almost midnight when he entered the Inheritance Secret Realm.
He could already collect today's Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill.
Now, after more than fourteen hours had passed, the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pills had already arrived two times and were quietly waiting in his small world.
"That..."
Chen Qiu eventually couldn't resist speaking, "This was ten thousand Magic Practitioner Puppets, and that old man even disabled my movement technique 'Shrink Earth Into Inches'. Without using movement techniques, I can't think of any way to pass through this challenge."
"..."
The fortune-telling old man rolled his eyes at Chen Qiu and spoke irritably, "I wasn't supposed to tell you, but since you've already passed, there's no harm in telling you. First off, I can tell you for sure that the Gatekeeper cannot intentionally target the challenger, so disabling your 'Shrink Earth Into Inches' was partly to make things easier for himself and also, in a way, a hint to you."
