Gu Liangyunzong stood in the middle of a barren mountain, a bitter smile on his face.
He had already given it everything he had. He hadn't expected to fail anyway.
He didn't blame Fang Mo. He understood that Fang Mo had fought so desperately for his safety.
After all, Fang Mo was only human. Slaughtering alien beasts so frantically had to take a tremendous toll. Gu Liangyunzong didn't know how many beasts Fang Mo had killed, but he figured the number couldn't be small.
Fang Mo had cleared one level in half a day. That alone showed just how frenzied the slaughter had been.
"We still didn't make it. Lord Fang is just too fast!"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Kruger's eyes, too. He had given it everything he had. He'd hoped to advance to the Transcendent Realm, but in the end, he hadn't managed it.
"I'm sorry."
Gu Liangyunzong's face was full of apology. With a bitter smile, he said, "It's my fault. Fang Mo was determined to get me out, so he moved so quickly!"
Kruger shook his head, his expression calm.
"It's nothing. This might be a good thing for us. We can't handle the fourth level anymore, and if we go into the fifth, we probably won't survive. Being able to make it out alive is already a stroke of luck."

Kruger glanced around, then looked at Gu Liangyunzong. "Let's part ways here. You should refine the Primordial Spirit Fragments you obtained as soon as possible. Once you leave this advanced trial zone, they'll lose their effect!"
"Understood. I'll remember that!"
