Chapter 1733 The New Star God!!
Zu Long took a slight breath, feeling alright.
The body's strength is barely sufficient.
"continue!!"
Soon, the second round opponent appeared.
These are five swift, beast-shaped puppets, extremely fast and adept at group attacks.
Zulong struck again, weaving through the beast horde, each strike hitting vital points with pinpoint accuracy, easily resolving the situation once more.
The third round consisted of two puppets with astonishing defensive capabilities and immense strength.
Zulong chose to use skill to overcome force, maneuvering and waiting for an opportunity to shatter the core of the puppet's head.
The fourth round, the fifth round...
Zu Long won five consecutive rounds almost single-handedly!
The combat wisdom and pure physical fighting skills they displayed dazzled Bai Hang and the others, who benefited greatly from the experience.
Although Zu Long was somewhat out of breath and had expended a lot of energy, he felt that he was still in control.
However, starting from the sixth round, the difficulty increased significantly.
The sixth round opponents are nine puppets wielding different weapons and working in perfect harmony.
Each of them possesses the physical strength of a beginner-level Heavenly Realm cultivator, and they are adept at both offense and defense, with well-defined strategies for advancing and retreating.
Moreover, they can form formations together, achieving a synergistic effect where one plus one is greater than two.
The First Dragon was caught in a tough battle.
His attacks are often blocked or dodged, and he also has to deal with sneak attacks from multiple directions.
Although he eventually found the weaknesses of the formation and broke through them one by one with his more experienced skills, he also took several blows, his blood and qi were churning, and his breathing became much heavier.
"Senior!" Bai Hang and the others stepped forward with concern.
"It's alright." Zu Long waved his hand, but his expression became serious.
He sensed that this body's regenerative ability was far inferior to that of a real dragon body, and the stamina it consumed was not replenished as quickly.
In the seventh round, there is only one opponent.
A Shura battle puppet with three heads and six arms, each arm wielding a different weapon, had reached the mid-level of the Heavenly Rank.
From the very start of the battle, the Asura War Puppet displayed immense power, its movements fierce and violent, devoid of any fancy moves.
It can be said that they crushed the opponent with sheer force.
When Zu Long clashed head-on with him, he was so shocked that he was forced to retreat repeatedly, and his arm went numb.
"Not good!" Zu Long's heart sank.
The power of this Asura War Puppet has exceeded the limits of his body without any amplification.
Moreover, the other party is tireless and feels no pain.
Boom boom boom!
The Asura War Puppet swung its six arms simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of weapons like a violent storm.
Zulong could only dodge awkwardly, and even when he managed to parry, the shock caused his blood and qi to churn and his internal organs to ache.
If this continues, defeat is only a matter of time.
"Senior, we're here to help you." Cai Kun couldn't stand it anymore and was about to rush over.
"Don't come any closer!" Zu Long shouted.
"This puppet is too powerful; you'll only cause trouble if you come up here."
He knew that although Cai Kun and the others had good physical bodies, they would likely be instantly killed in the face of such an absolute power difference.
Just as Zu Long was contemplating whether to use a secret technique that might violate the rules and cause a backlash, a clear, cold voice rang out.
"Senior Zulong, please step back for a moment."
It's Xu Meng.
She had somehow walked to the edge of the arena, and her hands formed a complex hand seal in front of her chest.
The dim phantom of the star god behind her was now gradually revealing its true form.
"Star God [Bashan], descend to earth..." Xu Meng murmured.
hum!
The illusory figure behind her completely revealed its true form.
This star god is not humanoid, but a giant spirit statue with curved horns on its head and a height of ten meters.
The statue, simply by standing there, gives one the feeling of invincibility, as if it could pierce through the entire world.
Zu Long was filled with surprise. The power fluctuations emanating from this star god named [Ba Shan] did not seem to be completely sealed by the trial rules.
It even somewhat suppressed the trial rules of this place.
What exactly is the origin of this star god named "Bashan" mentioned by Xu Meng...?
Zu Long stepped aside, looking bewildered and uncertain.
"My newly contracted Star God," Xu Meng explained simply, cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
Maintaining the manifestation of the new star god was a considerable burden for her, especially under the suppression of these rules.
"The Bashan Master governs [mountains] and [absolute power], and his divine power is less restricted in this place."
"Roar!"
The Asura War Puppet didn't care about any of that. Sensing the threat from Ba Shan, it roared and abandoned the Ancestral Dragon, its six-armed weapon changing direction and smashing towards him.
Ba Shan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead raised his rock fist, which was as big as a house, and threw a punch.
boom!
The moment they collided, a shockwave visible to the naked eye exploded in a ring, blasting cracks all over the arena floor.
Click!
The six weapons in the hands of the Asura War Puppet shattered the moment they came into contact with the rocky fist.
Immediately afterwards, the domineering force of the punch traveled along the weapon to the war puppet's arm, and then spread throughout its entire body.
The mid-level Heaven-rank Asura battle puppet was actually sent flying backward by this punch.
Its body was now severely deformed and it was no longer able to fight.
It could be described as a one-punch kill.
Bai Hang, Cai Kun, and Tian Mengxue all stared wide-eyed at the giant spirit statue that was slowly retracting its fist, and at Xu Meng, whose face had turned pale. They were all deeply shocked.
Girl, when did you become so strong?
Zu Long also fell silent, his gaze towards Xu Meng momentarily blank.
This girl quietly made a contract with such a terrifying star god.
With this star god present, the difficulty of the trial plummeted instantly.
"Leave the rest of the battle to me and Ba Shan," Xu Meng said softly, her gaze fixed on the gates that had risen again on the opposite side of the arena.
The opponent for the eighth round has been identified.
This time, there are already two mid-level Heaven-rank battle puppets.
Zu Long was somewhat taken aback, but he nodded subconsciously and retreated to Bai Hang and the others' side.
Then he came to his senses: "Be careful, we'll cover for you."
With the addition of Xu Meng and Ba Shan, both powerful Star Gods, the second team's trial finally got on track.
Inside the arena, the earth-shaking footsteps of the colossus statue and the resounding booms of each punch echoed.
.....
Time returns to the present.
In the Lingxi Channel, Zulong briefly explained the situation.
He omitted his own embarrassment and focused on the power of Xu Mengxin, the new Star God.
After hearing this, Ye Chuyun felt reassured.
"Xu Meng's opportunities are indeed extraordinary."
"With her here, the second team should have no problem with the test."
He felt relieved and refocused all his attention on the Rubik's Cube in front of him.
"The top-level cross-shaped edge block has been put back in place."
"Next..."
Ye Chuyun silently recited the complex restoration steps in her mind, her concentration unprecedented.
Several times when adjusting colors, he accidentally messed up the already calibrated modules and had to start over.
Each backtracking requires a significant amount of mental effort to recalculate.
Sweat trickled down Ye Chuyun's forehead and evaporated instantly.
After a final series of complex rotations, the Rubik's Cube was finally solved.
