"Ye Shuanghen, you're so slow. Looks like you had quite the harvest."

Just then, a young man holding a long spear walked out, his gaze sharp as he looked at Ye Shuanghen.

This was Zhao Wu, the squad leader of Class Two. He was skilled in the Wind-Thunder Spear and had previously fought elites from the special classes without being defeated.

However, Ye Shuanghen merely nodded at Zhao Wu before walking up to Chu Kuang.

"It's you?"

"It is I," Chu Kuang replied calmly, holding his spear. "Your strength has improved considerably."

Ye Shuanghen smiled. During this Special Training, he had captured several Source Energy Spring Eyes, naturally advancing his External Martial Arts to Great Accomplishment. His Life Level had directly risen to 6.8, a significant increase in his overall strength.

Most importantly, he had rectified the weakness of his physique, bringing about a qualitative change in his overall power.

"I've improved a lot this time. If we fought again, I might not lose," Ye Shuanghen said, clearly still holding a grudge about his previous defeat to Chu Kuang.

Chu Kuang, however, shook his head and calmly stated, "If we fought again, you would only lose more miserably."

"Oh?"

Ye Shuanghen's brow furrowed slightly. He then turned to look at the valley that resembled a coiled dragon. "If we join forces, our chances of passing this ultimate trial shouldn't be low."

"I'm used to going solo. You guys go ahead and make the first move," Chu Kuang replied, unexpectedly.

Hearing this, Ye Shuanghen was about to try persuading him again when Zhao Wu interjected, "Since he doesn't want to get involved, Ye Shuanghen, why bother trying to convince him?"

Zhao Wu then looked at Chu Kuang. "If you're not joining us, then you won't get any share of the treasures after we take down Wolong Ridge."

"If you can take it down, then I won't shamelessly ask for any," Chu Kuang replied calmly, standing his ground with his spear held.

Seeing this, Ye Shuanghen could only say, "In that case, I'll go test the Tyrannosaurus Rex's might first."

With that, Ye Shuanghen led the others towards Wolong Valley.

Lin Shuyao also prepared to follow, but before leaving, she looked back at Chu Kuang. "Why don't you join us too? With your strength, you could definitely be a main force in this battle."

"No need," Chu Kuang shook his head, having no intention of teaming up with others.

Just then, Jiang Feng called out from a distance, "Since he doesn't want a cut, why waste time with him?"

"Let's hurry and follow, or we won't even get the scraps."

Seeing this, Lin Shuyao could only lead the remaining dozen or so elites from Class Seven to follow, clearly preparing to participate in the final trial of surrounding and attacking the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

With the protection of Battle Armor, this trial posed no life-threatening danger to them. Thus, even though they knew they might just be cannon fodder, they were still willing to test the might of the Tyrannosaurus Rex Bio-Beast.

As everyone else departed, Chu Kuang strode to the top of the valley, quietly waiting for the battle to begin.

Ye Shuanghen and the elites from the other classes convened and, after half an hour of discussion, formed a Military Formation with several hundred people.

The art of Military Formations had been taught in high school. The average Life Level of these students exceeded five, indicating they were all top students from their respective classes. Before long, they had organized a Dragon Slaying Formation with considerable skill.

Then, led by Ye Shuanghen and the other elites, these individuals entered Wolong Valley.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

As they stepped into Wolong Ridge, heavy footsteps echoed through the valley.

Chu Kuang lowered his gaze and saw a colossal beast, seventeen to eighteen meters long and weighing no less than twenty tons, ambling towards them. Its passage left deep footprints on the ground.

When the Tyrannosaurus Rex's massive form broke through the mist, the weapons of the students at the front began to tremble.

"Don't panic! We have Battle Armor protecting us, it can't harm us at all."

"If we form up together, we might still have a chance to win."

Zhao Wu suppressed his fear and spoke to stabilize morale. The Military Formation quickly took shape.

Under his leadership, over a dozen martial artists who had achieved Great Accomplishment in External Martial Arts, holding shields, formed the vanguard and began to advance slowly towards the giant beast.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex, however, moved unhurriedly, step by step towards the battle formation. Its heavy footsteps sounded like muffled drumbeats.

"Attack!"

Seeing the colossal beast drawing nearer, Ye Shuanghen gave the order. Instantly, spears, throwing knives, flying needles, and arrows were all launched.

But the enormous dragon neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the weapons to strike its scales, merely causing dim sparks to fly.

"They're going to break."

Chu Kuang took one look and understood.

In the face of such a vast difference in Life Level, these projectiles and spears were like child's play, capable of doing little more than tickling the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"ROAR—"

As expected, the Tyrannosaurus Rex suddenly let out a furious roar, then charged towards them with a bellow.

Zhao Wu's expression shifted slightly. He formed a shield formation with the others at the very front and said with a grave face, "Let's form up together to spread out the pressure. We must block it..."

"Boom—"

Before Zhao Wu could finish speaking, he felt as if a mountain had crashed into him, and then he was sent flying.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex charged forward, shattering the shield formation in a single encounter. It then turned and swept its massive tail, sending the students flying dozens of feet like ping pong balls.

"Kill!"

Someone roared. Dozens of spear cultivators formed a formation and thrust forward, their spears like a forest aimed at the Tyrannosaurus Rex's abdomen.

Dozens of steel spears thrust out simultaneously, but they all bent upon contact with the scales. The Tyrannosaurus Rex stomped its foot, crushing three spear cultivators who couldn't dodge into the mud. The rest were startled and scattered in all directions.

"Beast, die!"

Ye Shuanghen roared, unleashing the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. His vast sword energy, like silk, attempted to cut the Tyrannosaurus Rex's joint gaps, but it could only leave tiny sword marks on its scales.

Zhao Wu turned and attacked, his spear like a dragon. The tip of his spear condensed with Wind-Thunder Internal Force, and a single Wind-Thunder Stab aimed directly for the Tyrannosaurus Rex's eye.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex dodged by turning its head. The spear tip struck its skull scales, sending sparks flying. The immense recoil made Zhao Wu's tiger's mouth go numb.

Zhao Wu retreated in horror but was struck by the giant tail, sending him flying over a hundred feet.

Jiang Feng roared, his Brute Ox Technique erupting. His muscles swelled like iron as he punched towards the Tyrannosaurus Rex's forelimb joints!

"Bang—"

The Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't even lower its head. A casual sweep of its giant claw sent Jiang Feng flying back like a cannonball. He crashed through three ancient trees consecutively, clearly having lost his combat ability.

The remaining students swarmed forward. The flash of blades and swords struck the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but they couldn't even break its scales. However, it was like ants angering a dragon, causing the beast to roar in fury.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex roared to the sky, its sonic waves making the martial artists within dozens of feet dizzy. Then, its tail swept like an iron pillar, sending over a dozen elite students flying like straw, crashing into the mountain wall and losing their combat effectiveness.

Its claws slammed down, causing the ground to collapse. Several more martial artists who couldn't dodge in time were completely eliminated.
