Outwitting the First Trial

After his body was reset, the cooldown period for his Martial Soul Avatar no longer existed, Wu Qi continued to activate his Martial Soul Avatar to repeatedly attempt the challenge.

Facing the three Divine Statue for the second time, Wu Qi successfully broke through Divine Statue blockade at the cost of the Qiangu Changkong He Chen's "sacrifice".

Further on, they encountered the same kind of creatures that lived in the shadows, invisible and formless.

After his strength broke through, Wu Qi was able to sense their presence and see their appearance clearly.

This is a small Mole that can manipulate shadows to attack Soul Master.

"What an adorable little guy, I never expected him to unleash such powerful strength."

It goes without saying that these little guys have consumed the Life Fruit, making them incredibly powerful in combat.

Although Mole are blind, they can sense movement through air vibrations and accurately lock onto their enemies.

Wu Qi smiled and took out the Life Fruit he had picked beforehand from his Soul Tool.

Humans cannot consume this fruit, but it emits fluctuations of Soul Power. Scattering it all around actually fooled the Mole.

Breaking through their obstruction, Wu Qi rushed forward rapidly from the road on the right.

Just as he could see the remains of the Azure Luan Divine Beast in the distance, a Marmot blocked his path.

In this Poisonous Land, the Marmot is one of the largest creatures.

After growing larger, its size resembles that of a mountain.

Time passed day by day, and soon it was Top Five the end of the Divine Trial.

Wu Qi doesn't like to get stuck at the last minute. If they wait until the last day and the plan fails, they won't even have a chance to start over.

Therefore, leaving five days is a margin for error; if things go wrong, there will be opportunities to improve the plan later.

His gaze fell upon Qiangu Changkong and the other person, and he said with a grave expression, "Have you all remembered the key points I told you?"

The two nodded earnestly.

Immediately, the three began the assessment once again.

The First Layer posed no threat, and the three passed through easily.

Upon descending to the Second Layer, three Statues Holding Golden Pestles become the first major obstacle.

Wu Qi's Domain of Destruction can break through the air-free zone of the Golden Domain, but creatures killed within Domain of Destruction cannot be fully restored, not even the Ancient Tree of Life.

Therefore, if they fight a living being and activate the Domain of Destruction to kill it, they cannot be resurrected. This would violate the assessment rules and result in immediate failure.

The stone statues were not living beings, and Wu Qi didn't know whether destroying them within the Domain of Destruction would result in a failure.

To be on the safe side, he certainly wouldn't be so reckless as to try and destroy it.

Or rather, his tactics were not intended to get entangled with them at all.

With his Martial Soul Avatar activated, Wu Qi unleashed his Invincible Golden Body, forcefully knocking the three large figures to the ground. Taking advantage of their moment to get up, Wu Qi grabbed two of them and ran away at breakneck speed.

Upon reaching the Mole's "territory," the three casually scattered the collected Life Fruit using their Soul Tool to obstruct its vision, intending to force their way through.

Living things have memories. In order to successfully get rid of the Mole this time, Wu Qi had deliberately fallen into their hands many times before.

The Mole was fooled this time and successfully crossed the area.

But if they fail this time, the little guys will probably be wary the next time they try.

Soon, the three arrived at the final challenge.

There's a pair of Marmot here; these two little guys aren't so easily fooled, and we can't let them pass so easily.

Since Wu Qi dared to place all his bets on this challenge, how could he have been unprepared?

Qiangu Changkong Kong stepped forward and took out a large amount of fresh vegetables from his Soul Tool.

These were all foods they had prepared in advance.

However, they have been constantly being reset these days, and they don't feel hungry, so they can't eat these vegetables for the time being.

"Little ones, you haven't tasted the delicacies of the human world yet. Here, all of this is for you. See how it tastes."

The two Marmot blinked, shrunk back to their small size, and disappeared into the sea of vegetables, unable to extricate themselves.

Qiangu Changkong silently retreated to Wu Qi's side.

Wu Qi grabbed the two men, took a deep breath, and his gaze sharpened.

In the next instant, his figure shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

It swept over the heads of two Marmot and flew straight towards the distant corpse of the Azure Luan Divine Beast.

Previously, Wu Qi might have worried that Qiangu Changkong He Chen would encounter the same fate as the Old Ghoul.

However, since it was the Divine Trial sent them, the God of Destruction should be able to handle everything for them, at least not send them to their deaths.

The two Marmot sensed something was wrong, crawled out from the pile of vegetables, and watched the three figures disappear into the distance. They immediately opened their mouths wide and squeaked repeatedly.

The closer Wu Qi got to the Azure Luan Divine Beast, the more a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.

Shortly afterward, a voice in the minds of the three men indicated that the Trial Completed.

"The First Destruction Trial Completed. Reward: All Spirit Ring Year Limit Increase by 10,000 years, Divine Power Affinity increased by Ten Percent."

Total affinity: Ten Percent.

Having completed the assessment, Wu Qi no longer needed to make any more trips.

As he put the two down, he deactivated his Martial Soul Avatar state.

The next instant, a Dark Purple Halo emerged from the mark on the forehead.

His Soul Ring revealed themselves, and then this power entered the Soul Ring, changing Soul Ring color.

Black, black, black, black, red—seven rays shimmered beneath his feet.

In the outside world, such Soul Ring Configuration would be enough to drive countless scholars in the Spirit Master world mad!

Qiangu Changkong and Chen Ping's Soul Ring also changed to five black Soul Ring.

Qiangu Changkong looked at his Soul Ring with satisfaction and smiled, "I feel that if I complete enough Divine Trial, all of my Soul Ring will transform into Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring."

That being said, who could have predicted the rewards for the upcoming Divine Trial?

After completing the assessment, everyone can take a short rest.

The underground environment was even darker, and the three preferred the environment of the First Layer, so they turned back.

With the assessment over, the Marmot couple had no reason to fight them anymore.

However, upon seeing the three of them, the two little ones were furious.

They could only channel their grief and anger into motivation, devouring the vegetables left behind by the Qiangu Changkong.

On the way back, the troubles we had encountered before were no longer troubles.

The small animals here seem to really enjoy being close to people, waving their heads at them and nuzzling their trouser legs.

With his hands behind his back, Qiangu Changkong Kong lay comfortably on a patch of grass. "This is truly a Peach Blossom Land," he thought. "When I retire, I really want to stay here every day."

Wu Qi was too weak to speak, so he found a place to lie down.

For the past six months, they have been on edge at all times. Even though they can be resurrected repeatedly, the mental exhaustion can never be worn away.

From a distance, Chen Nan, who witnessed the entire assessment process, couldn't help but curse, "A bunch of sly youngsters, all they know is how to deceive these little animals."

Hunter smiled suddenly, "The Master said that opportunism is also part of strength. Therefore, they did indeed complete the assessment perfectly."
