Chapter 158: The Power of Virtual Worlds
Liu Ruyu felt as though the door to a brand-new world had opened before her.
Until now, she had believed that a flute as a weapon was a rare and niche choice. But the moment she saw thousands of flute weapons available in the Tower of Trials' marketplace, she realized just how narrow her past understanding had been.
Clicking "Start," she soon found herself surrounded by gray wolves emerging from the grasslands. Her fighting style was unique—ethereal melodies flowed from her flute, carrying an otherworldly beauty. Yet, hidden within the enchanting tune was the whisper of death, as the notes carried devastating mental attacks.
The gray wolves faltered. Their eyes grew hazy, and their movements slowed until they were completely immobilized by her haunting melody.
While Liu Ruyu battled her way through the challenges, Wei Yi and Wuying Wu were also exploring the immersive holographic world firsthand.
Wu Ying opted for the arena mode in the Tower of Trials. With no opponent available, he faced his own mirrored image.
Sword in hand, he unleashed the shadowless sword technique passed down by his family. In a flurry of movements, the air filled with countless sword shadows, each strike an exquisite display of precision and power.
As for Wei Yi, being a pharmacist, he naturally trusted his instincts to guide him. Strangely enough, he chose a cooking course. When he found himself standing in a kitchen-like environment, he was momentarily stunned.
For a moment, he doubted the reliability of his instincts within this virtual world. However, after careful consideration, he decided to click on an interface resembling a selection menu. Picking an ingredient that reminded him of refining pills, he added it to his workspace.
