Reincarnated As a Fox With System novel Chapter 988

"The strongest?! The oldest?! The one who followed Grandmaster Nie Jun the longest?!" Tang Li Xue exclaimed in surprise.

Tang Li Xue's hunch said that the trial from this last floor guardian might be the most difficult and troublesome of all.

Fire Guardian kindly suggested to Tang Li Xue: "Since Lightning Guardian is the oldest, it means that it has the most abundant knowledge among us. So, you should show more respect to it because you will definitely need to ask many things from it in the future."

Tang Li Xue's topaz blue eyes immediately shone brighter like a pair of glittering stars as she muttered excitedly: "Wait a minute, does it mean that I will finally have my own version of 'Grandpa in the Ring' like the protagonist from the novels?! Woahhh, so nice, so exciting~!"

Fire Guardian stared strangely at Tang Li Xue, then turned to ask Xi'er instead: "Is there something wrong with her head because of the previous explosion? Maybe you should postpone the Lightning trial and take her to the doctor first."

Somehow, Xi'er felt embarrassed by Fire Guardian's concerned words, and she replied shyly: "Eh, umm... Well, Sister Xue should be fine after a while. She... likes to daydream after an intense battle, so please just let her indulge in her own dream for now."

Fire Guardian was too lazy to pay attention to the abnormal Tang Li Xue, so it trotted away and disappeared.

Of course, Fire Guardian did not truly disappear since it could not step out from the Flame Floor, but it could still hide in the flames or magma, so Tang Li Xue and the others could not see it.

After resting for a few hours or so, Tang Li Xue led everyone to climb the stairs and headed to the last floor, Lightning Floor.

While Fire Guardian still lazily swam in the lava, it suddenly heard a telepathic voice whisper in its mind: "How kind of you~! The time should not be up yet, right? There should still be around twelve seconds left."

Fire Guardian smiled before it replied: "Oh, come on, old guy... Do you expect that I will really kill our new owner just like that? My trial only aims to test their limit, not to kill any of them."

Yes, the one who currently talked telepathically with the Fire Guardian was actually the Lightning Guardian.

"Does she truly deserve to be our new owner? I do not think so. She relies too much on her pets and servants." From Lightning Guardian's tone, it looked like it did not quite agree that Tang Li Xue would be the new owner of the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda].

Fire Guardian shook its head and explained to Lightning Guardian: "Old guy, you are too picky! That fox girl is quite pitiful. She can die at any time because of the destructive space energy inside her body, so you just cannot expect her to complete all the trials by relying only on herself."

"Any of her pets and servants are unique and powerful. Since she could subdue them, I guess her own strength should not be weaker than her pets and servants. After she obtained this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], she could definitely recover much faster." Fire Guardian concluded its explanation to Lightning Guardian.

Despite being on different floors, all the guardians could communicate with each other freely at any time they wanted.

Fire Guardian actually knew Tang Li Xue's body condition from Water Guardian.

The moment Tang Li Xue entered the water in the Water Floor, the Water Guardian secretly scanned her body.

The guardians might not mind if their new owner were human or beast, but they would never allow the Undead Race to get the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]!

Lightning Guardian went silent for a few moments before it replied in a stubborn tone: "Sorry, but pity is not included in my standard for determining the most suitable owner of this [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]."

"Alas, you stubborn old guy... You, you are too rigid..." Fire Guardian wanted to complain, but Lightning Guardian had already disconnected their telepathy.

Fire Guardian sighed helplessly as it muttered softly: "I hope that fox girl can pass the Lightning Trial safely."

.....

Right at this time, Tang Li Xue and her team had already stepped onto the Lightning Floor.

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! BOOOOOM~!

The ceiling of this Lightning Floor was covered with thick black thunder clouds.

Lightning and thunder kept brewing in the thick black clouds, then sometimes, the lightning and thunder would strike down randomly.

The lightning and thunder on the periphery of the Lightning Floor were the weakest, and they will grow stronger the closer one gets to the center of the Lightning Floor.

In short, if Tang Li Xue wanted to temper her entire body in this Lightning Floor, she should begin from the periphery of the Lightning Floor first.

After her body got stronger and she developed higher lightning resistance, she could move closer to the center of the Lightning Floor.

RUMBLE~! RUMBLE~! BOOOOOM~!

"Watch out, Sister Xue~!" Xi'er warned as she raised the thick black shield transformed from her [Sword of Disaster] to block the lightning bolt that fell from above.

Although Xi'er managed to block the lightning bolt with ease using the thick black shield, but her entire arms went numb and painful because of the violent lightning current.

Xi'er frowned deeply while saying: "The thunder and lightning in this Lightning Floor is not simple. They actually contain the Profound Law of thunder and lightning."

"Just the weakest thunder and lightning on the periphery can already hurt me and make me numb. If we move closer to the center of this floor, it would only become much more dangerous for us." Xi'er informed Tang Li Xue and the others.

Tang Li Xue replied in a worried tone: "I hope our trial is not for us to go to the center of this Lightning Floor."

Then a soft voice suddenly echoed in the entire Lightning Floor: "Of course not. It would be the same as me telling you to commit suicide if I gave you that kind of trial."

Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in surprise when she saw the appearance of Lightning Guardian because it was not quite like what she had been expected.
