Chapter 25: Swing the sword three thousand times a day? Is that all you ask?

“Is this the Lu Ze Elder Ding always talks about?”

“Heh, this young man’s spirited nature is truly valuable. If you ask me, we should just let him off the hook this time.”

“Let him off? A Sect contract has already been signed. If we let him off... then Elder Ding will have to go to Siguo Valley to Cultivate!”

“Such a young man, and his Cultivation Realm isn’t high... Can he really create an Illusion Realm of that caliber?”

“I don’t believe it either. Let’s just wait and see today.”

The Elders whispered among themselves, discussing the matter.

When Elder Ding Mingcang’s potential trip to Siguo Valley was mentioned, several Elders’ eyebrows rose, and they even showed a hint of anticipation.

But they knew in their hearts that this was absolutely impossible.

Therefore, their gazes towards Lu Ze held a mix of regret and pity.

“Disciple Lu Ze greets all Elders.”

Lu Ze smiled slightly and cupped his fists towards the Elders.

“Enough with the pleasantries, let’s begin!”

Ding Mingcang said with a stern face and an impatient tone.

Lu Ze, however, unhurriedly interrupted him: “Before we begin, why don’t we first set the judging criteria, Elder Ding, what do you think?”

The last time, Ding Mingcang had set “the Dao of the Sword,” which Lu Ze had initially thought was just a casual remark.

It wasn't until he started creating the game that he realized the difficulty.

Therefore, Ding Mingcang was not as impetuous as he appeared on the surface.

If they didn’t agree on it beforehand, he was worried he might be at a disadvantage when it came to the discussion later, so he deliberately kept an eye out.

Ding Mingcang glanced at the other Elders, then nodded: “Very well, then I’ll state my requirements first.”

“First, the Illusion Realm you create must, like ‘Demon Sect Escape,’ demonstrate ingenuity different from existing Illusion Realms.”

“Second, since the theme is primarily sword practice, the Disciple entering the Illusion Realm should only wield a sword.”

“Third, there are many sword-practicing Illusion Trials in the Sect, but Disciples don’t use them much. Since you claim to be the author of ‘Demon Sect Escape,’ the new Illusion Realm must also make Disciples obsessed with it...”

“Within one week, the average daily time Disciples spend in the new Illusion Realm must not be less than two hours!”

“The number of sword swings per day must not be less than three thousand!”

These were the requirements he had prepared long ago.

Under the premise of “sword practice,” it needed to show ingenuity and also involve continuous sword practice...

This was the first difficulty.

Making the average daily usage time of the Illusion Realm by Disciples no less than two hours, and the number of sword swings no less than three thousand, was the second difficulty.

Even if there were one or two, or even a hundred or two hundred, fanatical fans of “Demon Sect Escape” who would help Lu Ze boost the data every day,

it wouldn’t be able to influence the average usage time of all Disciples in the entire Sect.

Ordinary Disciples had no interest in things like Illusion Trials.

Even the Illusion Trials left behind by ancient powerful beings couldn’t attract many Disciples to persist in Cultivating every day.

Even if Lu Ze was truly the designer of “Demon Sect Escape,” he didn’t believe the other party could achieve it.

Ding Mingcang looked at Lu Ze with a hint of triumph.

But he didn’t expect the latter to speak with such calm:

“Is that all?”

Ding Mingcang was stunned for a moment: “That’s all.”

He had thought about whether to add more?

But for a moment, he really had no other ideas.

Lu Ze wasn’t trying to show off; he genuinely felt it was simple.

According to the intensity of the new Illusion Realm, let alone three thousand sword swings a day, ten thousand were even possible.

“I also have a requirement.” Lu Ze said: “Within one week, the Hall of Law Enforcement is prohibited from ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) confiscating any Magic Treasure Dao items related to the Illusion Tower.”

“Hehe, that’s simple. I wouldn’t stoop to such a low level.”

As soon as Ding Mingcang said this, the surrounding Disciples became excited.

The Inner Sect Disciples’ mini Illusion Towers were confiscated by over a hundred units every day, causing the market selling these items to start experiencing shortages and price increases.

According to Ding Mingcang’s meaning,

they could freely play the Illusion Trial within a week?

How awesome!

Even if the new Illusion Realm wasn’t fun, just playing “Demon Sect Escape” would be enough.

“With Elder Ding’s guarantee, this Disciple feels at ease.”

Lu Ze nodded with a smile.

“Then let’s begin.”

With that, he walked to the Illusion Tower and placed the prepared Illusion crystal into it.

All the Disciples present had already put on the tokens distributed in advance.

As Spiritual Qi was poured in, the Disciples entered the new Illusion Realm world one after another.

A line of large characters appeared prominently in the Illusion Realm space—

“Plants vs. Zombies.”
