Two-Pronged Approach

To everyone's astonishment, Luo Jun's transmitter continued to output power steadily, with time passing by without showing any signs of running out.

"It's been 500 seconds..."

The clock ticked on the field, and the night continued to unfold.

"He should have consumed at least 1,500 Breath Vital Energy by now..." Guan Hongyue swallowed hard and turned to the newcomers. "Are you sure? He just cleared the second level, isn't he at full strength?"

"I'm sure!" Xie Zi'ang's eyes widened as well. "Besides... he was in charge of everything back then, so he should have been at the peak of his condition..."

"Even now, he doesn't seem to be exhausted!" Guan Hongyue exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be that he's really going to clear the game single-handedly?"

"Impossible!" Guan Tianshuang's deep voice rang out. "Even if he can maintain continuous firing, the double spawn of Netherworld Spirit in the last few minutes is impossible to defend against with just one launcher!"

"But he should be able to eliminate most of them without suffering a severe Curse. Once he returns, with the help of two others tomorrow, we can easily clear the level!"

Hearing him say that, hope appeared on the faces of everyone in the audience.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the stands opposite the arena.

Suddenly, a member of the Clan Troops trembled violently. Then, thorns pierced through his uniform, and the hair on the top of his head began to fall out, replaced by a horn...

It's mutated! That thing has broken the Limit of contamination!

The new hunters became wary, but the others remained calm, clearly not experiencing this situation for the first time.

Sure enough, before the Polluter could complete his mutation, the surrounding Clan Troops forces attacked him simultaneously, targeting all his vital points and killing him instantly!

After completing this clean and efficient killing, they stood up and bowed slightly to the corpse, as a way of remembering their former comrade. Only then did they drag the body to a corner at the back.

"If no one participates in the trial, the corpses thrown into the Trial Grounds will be absorbed by the ground..." Guan Hongyue had witnessed this scene, said, "We didn't dare to try it; we don't know what would happen if a living person jumped down without going through the Registration Desk."

This simple and bland description sent chills down the spines of the newcomers.

Just then, Xuanyuan Wuji suddenly exclaimed, "It's been almost thirteen minutes!"

Everyone turned to look and found that the timer had exceeded 770 seconds. The newcomers were somewhat confused, and apart from marveling at the terrifying power of "Night," they didn't know what this time represented.

"Soon, the respawn rate of Netherworld Spirit will double!" Guan Hongyue explained.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Netherworld Spirit on the field suddenly increased dramatically. Luo Jun, who had been methodically releasing his psionic energy, suddenly felt the pressure.

Is there Second Stage to this level?

As the density of the Netherworld Spirit increased, the penetrability of the Psionic Energy Light Beam became significantly limited, and the speed at which they were eliminated could no longer keep up with the approaching army of Netherworld Spirit!

As more and more Netherworld Spirit approached the red line, Luo Jun kept swinging the launcher back and forth, extremely busy, and almost failed the trial several times.

But this couldn't go on forever. The density of the Netherworld Spirit kept increasing, and the overall trend was pressing towards the red zone. Even though Luo Jun was going all out, shaking the Spirit Energy Emitter like a propeller, and the purple Psionic Energy Light Beam were even forming wave shapes, he still couldn't stop the army from approaching.

"At this point, it's no longer something one person can handle." Guan Tianshuang shook her head. "Let's prepare to fight again tomorrow..."

Before she could finish speaking, Guan Hongyue suddenly shouted, "Look!"

"Two Psionic Energy Light Beam have appeared!"

Everyone looked on in surprise, only to see that Luo Jun was still holding the middle Spirit Energy Emitter in his left hand, but his right hand was grabbing the right transmitter. Both transmitters were activated at the same time, and two purple beams of light surged out!

The fan-shaped arena, especially the Red Area, wasn't very large to begin with. The three Spirit Energy Emitter were only a little over a meter apart, which Luo Jun could easily handle with one in each hand!

Although it wasn't as agile as controlling one, the double firepower still forced the advancing Netherworld Spirit army back!

"This is possible?!"

The audience stared in shock, even the usually composed Guan Tianshuang was stunned. Even the Clan Troops opposite them stood up, their eyes glued to the Trial Grounds below.

These Warrior, on the verge of collapse, had long lost hope of clearing the level; apart from the mutation of their teammates, nothing else could attract their attention.

But Luo Jun did it!

This man is operating two transmitters all by himself!

Just then, everyone noticed that "Night's" posture was a bit strange.

He was still gripping the two launchers with both hands, and had one foot sticking out to the left...

"He wants a third one?!"

"Does this guy think he's too angry?"

Everyone was at a loss for words...

Fortunately, due to some obstruction to the middle launch and the awkward posture, the achievement of simultaneously controlling three launchers was not accomplished.

The people in the stands breathed a sigh of relief...

But even with just two launchers, Luo Jun managed to suppress the Netherworld Spirit until the very last second!

As the Countdown ended, the words "Trial Successful" lit up, and "Night" disappeared from the field, leaving only the stunned experts in the audience.

"He... he really succeeded?" Guan Hongyue asked blankly, "I didn't see wrong, did I?"

"I hope you're mistaken..." The Lion King stared intently at the now empty arena with his bull-like eyes.

"I told you he was amazing!" Only Lu Kui smiled smugly, as if everything was within his expectations. Xuanyuan Wuji, standing to the side, stared at the spot where Luo Jun had disappeared, his one visible eye displaying a complex expression.

"Incredible!" Guan Tianshuang took a deep breath. "It seems that an extraordinary figure has emerged in the Savage Wilderness!"

The scenery before him changed again, and Luo Jun found himself in a relatively narrow space.

The circular Trial Grounds, about twenty meters in diameter, had only three rows of seats around it. In the center of the arena stood a golem, two or three meters tall, made entirely of metal and rock. Its limbs appeared to be huddled together, resembling a large bottle standing in the arena.

Luo Jun looked at his hands, and this time, he sensed a change.

The vital energy within the body is completely depleted and sealed off!

So this layer can even seal the vital energy of the Body Refinement Realm. What about the next layer?

As Luo Jun was pondering, his ears suddenly twitched. He turned his head and saw a person sitting up from under the audience seats on his left.

There are also challengers lingering here; could they be members of the Ling Family's elite clan?

Before he could get a good look at the person, the man suddenly roared and lunged at him!

Luo Jun subconsciously activated the Dice of Heavenly Secrets, determining to dodge, and at the same time, under the slowing effect, he saw the face of the person who came.

This creature was ragged and covered in dust. Its head was oblong with three protruding eyes and a gaping, blood-red mouth. Its limbs were extremely long and thin, with Bone Spur still remaining at its elbows and knees. Its hands had turned into enormous claws with curved nails as sharp as scythes...

This is not a human, but a mutated Polluter!

After dodging the dice, the difficulty was only 5 points, and I rolled 98 points, which was a Great Success.

He stepped aside to let it pass, and in doing so, tripped the monster, which fell headfirst to the ground, its head hitting the steps of the audience area, and blood splattered out.

The Severity Coefficient was doubled, and even with Great Success, it only gave ten experience points.

What a weak monster! This dice roll was a waste...

Those who made it here are mostly official members of the royal family and captains of the Clan Troops. I initially thought such experts would be incredibly powerful after their mutation. However, with their vital energy sealed, they can only rely on their Root Bone, so they won't be that formidable...

Before the monster could get up, Luo Jun delivered a final kick, sending it to its doom.

Only then did he have time to read the trial instructions in the arena.
