With Rain Granny's intervention, the nascent collapse was firmly contained!

From time to time, some monsters would slip through the net from Lu Kui and Lion King's directions, but whenever the number of monsters piled up exceeded ten, Rain Granny would sweep them up together, allowing the two masters to kill them in one fell swoop.

This scene brought a sigh of relief to everyone on the stage.

After all, no one is made of iron. No matter how solid the foundation, there will be times when the non-stop Gao Qiang output can't hold up. Having Rain Granny as an insurance policy does make people feel much more at ease.

"Speaking of which, how did the Frost Moon Troupe manage to pass that round?" a newcomer asked.

"The captain and the others..." a member of the Frost Moon Troupe who stayed behind replied, "They also had three main attackers, with two support members... The first time, the captain and vice-captain were in charge of the attack, with the second captain providing support and leading two members, but the main attack was a bit weak, and they couldn't hold out in the end. Later, they recruited two skilled lone wolves to replace the team members, and they made it through."

"Especially one of them, who wore Half-Face Mask, although he seemed mentally unstable, was very capable. With his cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm, he could separate his Qi from his body and manipulate the Qi Mass to attack enemies, which was extremely agile!"

Hearing his words, the newcomer's expression turned serious. "Sky Frost and Red Moon are not quite enough as the main attackers, can the three of them hold on...?"

"Yes!" Father Qin suddenly spoke up, pointing to the field with great certainty. "Look at the other side!"

Everyone looked over and saw "Night" efficiently dealing with the constantly appearing Scythe Fiend.

"What's wrong... it's the same as before?"

"It's already strange that he's the same as before, how come he doesn't show any signs of fatigue at all?"

This reminder made everyone realize immediately. Yes, Ye's actions were decisive and swift, eliminating monsters one by one, no matter how many came, as if they were tireless machines!

"It's not just like that!" Father Qin held up his palm in front of him. From his perspective, the square Trial Grounds was divided into two halves by his palm. Lion King and Lu Kui occupied the left half, struggling to hold on with the help of Rain Granny, while on the other half, only "Night" was there, tirelessly dealing with monsters.

The others also noticed this. Originally, the three of them were each standing on one side, but before they knew it, Lion King and Lu Kui had gathered together and started to cooperate, which resulted in Ye having to take on half of the monsters by himself.

Moreover, if you look closely, Xie Zi'ang rarely comes to the night half of the game; he spends most of his time assisting the other side.

The people on the battlefield seemed unaware, but the spectators looking down at the entire arena had already noticed that Night alone was almost as efficient as the other four in terms of kills!

What a ruthless killing machine this is!

To be honest, Luo Jun himself, who was on the field at that moment, didn't realize this either.

At the beginning of the trial, he was under some pressure. He had to kill with every attack, and he often couldn't control the power of his attacks.

But as he killed more and more enemies, he became more and more skilled and gradually began to find the most effortless and effective attack method.

As for fatigue?

Not to mention his extraordinary Root Bone, his massive amount of vital energy alone makes his endurance unmatched by the others.

When vital energy circulates, it nourishes the body and relieves fatigue. In addition, as Luo Jun fought, he found that even without using his muscles, he could deal considerable damage with the help of vital energy alone, which was enough to deal with this kind of Scythe Fiend.

Although this would increase the consumption of his vital energy, he could not feel the difference.

So, although Luo Jun appeared to be fighting the most fiercely, he actually felt the most relaxed.

But this scene was absolutely Celestial Person to many viewers!

Lion King, Xie Zi'ang, and Rain Granny are all renowned masters. Lu Kui, though a rising star, is exceptionally talented and considered to possess near-champion strength... Even four Champion-level Combat Power working together were struggling, yet Ye handled it all by herself?

Of course, Xie Zi'ang and Rain Granny are both known for their ability to the Heart Refining Realm, but under this rule, their strength is reduced to less than one-tenth. But Ye Ye is definitely at the Heart Refining Realm. No one has been able to analyze his abilities yet. How strong he must be is simply unimaginable!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the numbers on the screen steadily climbed, eventually breaking through the thousand mark!

Trial successful!

Finding that no more monsters were appearing, the five breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at each other, but their smiles froze on their faces...

They then realized that four people were standing on the left side of the field, and one person was standing on the right side.

In that moment of surprise, a light flashed, and the group was teleported to the next level...

The moment they reached the third level, Rain Granny, Lion King, and Xie Zi'ang's expressions changed slightly, while Lu Kui exclaimed, "Eh? Why can't I use my internal energy?"

Upon hearing his words, everyone below turned their heads.

This level of the arena is similar to the second level, except that the Trial Grounds have changed from a square to a fan shape, with a small red area at the center end containing three strange devices arranged side by side, the purpose of which is unknown.

The surrounding stands were just as crowded as the second tier, and the crowd was divided into two factions.

One group consisted of five people. Luo Jun recognized three of them: Guan Tianshuang, Guan Hongyue, and Xuanyuan Wuji. The remaining two were probably their teammates who had cleared the level together.

As for the other group, they sat on the other side of the field, consisting of a dozen or so strangers. They were all dressed in uniform clothing, which looked like the uniforms of the Wildlands Hunter Guild, but they were purple and did not belong to any department that Luo Jun had ever seen before.

Moreover, these people don't look well; they seem somewhat weak...

It goes without saying that these must be members of the Clan Troops. Their pale complexions are due to severe contamination, putting them on the verge of collapse.

"They really are Clan Troops; they all made it through the first two levels before we encountered them on this one," Rain Granny exclaimed in admiration.

"How do you know? Aren't all the soldiers on the first two floors dead?" The Lion King looked disdainful, but a hint of fear lingered in his eyes as he looked at the Clan Troops on the verge of collapse.

Unwilling to approach these potentially dangerous individuals, the group sat down with the Frost Moon Troupe. However, Lion King immediately provoked the Guan Family Siblings upon seeing them. Gang leader Guan Tianshuang remained silent and ignored him, but Guan Hongyue, with her fiery temper, immediately started hurling insults at Lion King, even rolling up her sleeves as if to fight. It was Xie Zi'ang who stepped in to smooth things over, and with Rain Granny's intervention, that the conflict was prevented from escalating further.

Compared to the two groups on the other side, who were at each other's throats, Luo Jun's side was much quieter. He and Lu Kui went straight to Xuanyuan Wuji's side.

"You're here too?" Xuanyuan Wuji stared at them in surprise, "You passed the first two trials too? Just like This Heaven's Chosen? What makes you so special?"

This guy's surprise was genuine, his eyes clear and without a trace of Yin Yang, which made Luo Jun annoyed and amused.

"I was afraid you'd die down there, so I came down specifically to make sure you keep your promise," Luo Jun sneered.

Xuanyuan Wuji startled, remembering the three things he had promised Luo Jun: "You're not going to... make me lose face at such a crucial moment!"

This ambiguous conversation left the others completely bewildered. They wondered if Xuanyuan Wuji was wary of Ye, or if Ye had somehow gotten hold of him.

Luo Jun, too lazy to tease him, turned to the area below. "What is this trial?"

"This level isn't so simple." It was Guan Hongyue who spoke. She didn't want to face the Lion King's mane face anymore, so she turned to Luo Jun. After all, she had invited Luo Jun to join the group at the dormitory before, so the two knew each other and she struck up a conversation with him as if they were old friends.

"This level tests what all Cultivators possess, yet everyone feels they lack."

"Generosity!"
