Speed and Strength

One week later, Earth time, the challenge competition began.

Goddess of War was among the first batch to enter. Qin Heng switched to spectator view and continued livestreaming her challenge run on the giant screen.

This challenge competition mainly tested two factors: how many stages one cleared, and how much time it took.

The farther one went and the faster one moved, the better the result.

Everyone had a time limit of one Void Ember Day—fifteen Earth days. They could go as far as they could.

On the giant screen, Goddess of War appeared in black clothing, her hair tied in a high ponytail. She held an Illusion-Form Spear, wore no accessories whatsoever, and looked no different from the Goddess of War from the Monster Era.

She stood amid a fiery hellscape. Ahead of her was a vicious dog formed from magma, twice as tall as she was, its teeth alone as large as her spearhead.

Then... in one second, the magma hound burst into a rain of molten rock that scattered in all directions. Goddess of War turned into a black shadow and shot forward, passing through a watery spatial gate into the second stage.

"So fast! Worthy of being my master!" Xuan Nie played his role in hyping up the atmosphere well, cheering loudly.

The second-stage opponent was a magma giant wielding a meteor hammer, looking exceedingly clumsy.

Of course, whether it was clumsy or agile, it would still be killed by a single spear thrust.

Goddess of War cleared stages as though she were simply traveling, one per second—or even less than one second. The instant she entered the watery curtain, she killed the monster in a single strike and passed into the next one.
