Trial

He was adapting to his strength when several streams of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ye Cang absorbed them rapidly and quickly grasped the basic information about the Virtual Combat Tower.

"No wonder there were such strange data like level 11.2, so there's this reason behind it."

The information transmitted into his mind included an introduction to clearing levels. If a level was successfully cleared, it would be recorded as one level cleared.

If a level was not successfully cleared, the corresponding progress would be evaluated based on performance during the trial.

Fan Zhuoqun's level 11.2 indicated that he had successfully passed the level 11 trial and also performed exceptionally well in the level 12 trial.

After waiting for about half a minute, an electronic prompt sounded again.

"Ye Cang, no combat power evaluation record. Please select your Combat Suit and weapon within one minute. The first level trial will begin after one minute!"

At the same time, rows of weapons and Combat Suits, interspersed with patterns, appeared before Ye Cang. These were basically the types he had seen in the shops outside.

In addition, he had an extra option: Psionic Energy weapons.

After looking for a few moments, he discovered that with his current cultivation, the highest level for the weapons and Combat Suits that appeared was only Tier Six, and the same applied to the Psionic Energy weapons.

Without hesitation, he directly chose the 'God Slaying Sword' he had used before, a regular Tier Six Combat Suit, and the Tier Six 'King Slayer Flying Sword'.

After making his choices, half a minute had passed. Ye Cang hurriedly began to adapt to the weapons he had just obtained.

However, just like before, he felt no difference compared to the outside world.

If he hadn't remembered that he had lain down in the virtual combat pod, he would have had a hard time distinguishing whether he was in his room or had been teleported to a special area.

"The virtual technology of ancient civilizations is astonishingly powerful!"

Ye Cang couldn't help but sigh again.

Beep!

A prompt sounded.

"Virtual Combat Tower Level 1 trial begins. Please kill the early-stage Junior General beast, the Blood-Eyed Jackal, within 10 minutes!"

As the electronic voice sounded, a white pillar of light descended from the sky about ten meters in front of him.

Within it, a dark figure rapidly materialized.

Three breaths later, a ferocious beast, about five meters tall, with blood-red pupils and the appearance of a giant jackal, appeared before him.

Its eyes were filled with killing intent as it stared intently at Ye Cang.

"Combat begins!"

The Virtual Combat Tower gave him no time to prepare. The moment the beast materialized, the battle began instantly!

Swish!

In an instant, the Blood-Eyed Jackal was in front of Ye Cang, its massive maw snapping down.

In the gust of wind that hit him, Ye Cang could still smell the foul stench of blood.

Clang!

Ye Cang easily blocked with his sword.

"Nearly twenty thousand kilograms of strength!"

Upon first contact, Ye Cang immediately estimated the strength of the materialized Blood-Eyed Jackal.

This surprised him slightly.

Based on the strength and speed this monster unleashed, its combat power was already comparable to a Warrior at the mid-stage of Junior General cultivation.

"It's already this strong on the first level. I wonder what the strength of the subsequent beasts will be?"

Roar!

The Blood-Eyed Jackal let out an angry howl and lunged again from the side, biting.

This time, Ye Cang simply willed it.

A 'King Slayer Flying Sword' instantly pierced its head.

Its strength was too weak; he had no desire to fight.

In his vision, the Blood-Eyed Jackal's body dissipated like a data stream, and an electronic prompt sounded again.

"Level 1 trial complete. The Level 2 trial will begin in one minute!"

One minute later.

The arena expanded by twenty to thirty meters.

The ferocious beast reappeared.

It was a Steel-Tusk Wild Boar!

Ye Cang tested its strength and found that this beast's power had reached thirty thousand kilograms, making its combat power comparable to a Warrior at the late stage of Junior General.

Whoosh!

The 'King Slayer Flying Sword' shot out again, and the Steel-Tusk Wild Boar instantly died.

"Second trial level complete, third trial level will commence in one minute!"

Third level!

Gold-Striped Saber-Toothed Tiger!

Forty thousand kilograms of immense strength, combat power on par with an early-stage intermediate General.

Still, he killed it in one sword strike.

Fourth level!

As the trial levels increased, the virtual monsters generated became stronger.

By the ninth level!

The 'Winged Poison Spider' beast that appeared had a strength that reached the normal level of a peak General.

One hundred thousand kilograms of strength!

One hundred tons of immense strength!

Immensely powerful.

However, Ye Cang now possessed 73.2 tons of strength, plus an additional 70 tons from his mental power, making the strength of any casual sword strike 143.2 tons.

This peak Beast General didn't even last ten strikes before him; its limbs were severed, and then its head was blown off with a single sword strike.

"Ninth trial level complete, tenth trial level will commence in one minute!"

As he listened to the electronic voice, information flashed through Ye Cang's mind.

The first nine levels only tested the normal strength output level of a General.

Starting from the tenth level, the beast's combat power would directly double, targeting Warriors who had perfected their General-level Combat Skills and were beginning to comprehend Artistic Conception.

Therefore, most Generals at the Divine Firmament Martial Arts Hall were stuck on the tenth level.

Only a mere few dozen people could pass it.

One minute later.

Boom!

A white pillar of light descended from the sky, and a beast, only a little over three meters tall, slowly materialized.

"Gale Mantis!"

Ye Cang's eyes widened slightly as he saw the emerging beast.

This type of monster not only had strength comparable to any other beast of the same level but was also several times faster.

Under normal circumstances, this beast would completely dominate other monsters.

Swish!

A black shadow flashed, and the Gale Mantis appeared before Ye Cang. Its forelimbs, like sharp blades, unhesitatingly slashed towards Ye Cang's neck, aiming for a decapitating blow.

"So fast!"

Ye Cang exclaimed, and the God Slaying Sword in his hand instantly struck upwards.

Clang, clang, clang...

The sounds of real strength colliding echoed.

In just a few short breaths, they had exchanged dozens of blows.

Shock flashed in Ye Cang's eyes; the Gale Mantis's strength was in no way inferior to his.

And he had already fully unleashed his perfected Aurora Sword Wings!

In this state, his strength, after the bonus, had reached 216.4 tons.

"The tenth level is already this terrifying. There are still eight more levels to go; how strong must a General be to clear them all?"

While marveling, Ye Cang engaged the Gale Mantis with all his might.

For a time, the entire 300-meter-wide arena was filled with the figures of the two fiercely clashing.

"Training here actually increases my swordplay and movement technique experience!"

Catching a glimpse of the system panel unintentionally, Ye Cang was even more surprised to see the changes.

In just one minute of combat, he found that his swordplay and movement technique experience had each increased by eleven or twelve points.

"There's such a good thing!"

Seeing this change, Ye Cang abandoned the idea of directly defeating the Gale Mantis.

At this rate, ten minutes would be enough to save him one to two hundred points of Life Energy.

"Kill!"

Excitement flashed in Ye Cang's eyes as he brandished his sword and madly slashed at the Gale Mantis, while simultaneously moving with agility to hone his swordplay and movement technique.

At the same time!

The waiting room outside the virtual combat pod.

"Heh heh! After all this time, that kid probably hasn't even reached the tenth floor, has he?"

Fan Yongfeng's face flashed with a smile as he glanced at Hong Chen.

"Nephew remembers that the tenth floor is the Gale Mantis. For such a ferocious beast, even if one has mastered a general-level Combat Skill to perfection, if they haven't grasped an Artistic Conception, they won't be able to restrict the Gale Mantis's speed and will ultimately face defeat,"

Fan Zhuoqun said calmly, a hint of disdain in his tone.

"Heh heh! Indeed. People from a mere small town, without family guidance, perhaps they don't even know what an Artistic Conception is?"

Fan Yongfeng continued to smile as he looked at Hong Chen.

"Venerable Hong, I think it's best not to waste any more time."

"You transfer the money, and I'll leave. That way, you won't be embarrassed when the final results come out."
