After watching for quite a while, Zhao Xing gave up on this way of clearing the stage.
Why? Because he had seen through the trick.
The entire Eight-Layer Shattered Vein Ring was forged based on his "Stacked Realm Mountain Theory"; a mighty expert of the Ancient Hill took Zhao Xing's theory and, on the basis of it, walked eight steps further.
Simply put, this was a heavily advanced version of Zhao's Eight Techniques!
"Since my Magic Theory came out, it's been almost five thousand years now."
"Before, I'd never really known how far the great powers of the Ancient Hill had pushed it."
"Now I can finally see some clues."
Zhao Xing was quite emotional; he felt a bit proud, and also somewhat helpless.
Proud that this checkpoint used his own Magic Theory as its foundation; helpless because if he wanted to pass easily, that was now impossible.
"Big big big!!!"
Since trickery was no longer an option, he would use his true ability.
