Capítulo 262: Chapter 262: Passing Four Levels, Receiving Rewards

Upon reaching the third stage, which was the inner area of the eerie bamboo forest, the bamboos were as red as blood, and the number of people was several times less than the second stage. Every encounter was exceedingly dangerous.

Shi Xiaole was on full alert.

Those who had passed the second stage had cultivation levels around the fourth or fifth tier of Qi Absorption. Their combat skills were superb, and at the very least, they had all reached the pinnacle state of unity between man and weapon.

There were individual cases where some had even touched the weapon heart realm.

It should be noted that cultivation level and the state of weapon proficiency aren't directly related. The cultivation level reflects one's aptitude, while the state of weapon proficiency is related to aptitude but not absolutely so.
