Chen Fei frowned slightly. The radiance not far from him came from a soldier Chen Fei had just killed.
There had clearly been nothing unusual moments ago, but as Haiyue Grotto-heaven trembled, radiance rose from that spot. Evidently, the trial rules had changed again.
"Will the power of slain soldiers be transferred to the soldiers still alive?"
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Chen Fei's mind. This seemed to be the only explanation for what had just happened.
Chen Fei had killed so many soldiers before, yet this phenomenon had never appeared. That meant it was a new occurrence that emerged only after the soldiers within the grotto-heaven had suffered a certain number of losses.
Previously, Chen Fei had thought that as scrolls continued to be obtained, every trial participant's strength would steadily rise. Though the soldiers appeared numerous, they would ultimately all be cut down.
Aside from those extremely unlucky people who encountered overwhelming numbers of soldiers and were surrounded and slaughtered, everyone else's strength would inevitably continue to grow.
But with this new rule descending, that situation had been turned on its head in an instant.
As the soldiers steadily dwindled, the strength of the surviving soldiers would continue to rise. In the end, the fewer soldiers there were, the greater the pressure everyone might face.
In the world of martial artists, an overwhelmingly powerful individual was not something numbers could solve. If the number of soldiers fell to a certain point, an extremely powerful existence would likely emerge among them.
If it truly came to that, everyone would face annihilation.
Yet if they did not kill these soldiers, the trial participants could not improve their strength either. That was another dead knot. They could not possibly just take beatings without striking back, could they?
