Trap Sequence

(The repeated-content issue from the previous chapter has been fixed. The final sentence should read, "Ahead, a gate shimmering with black light suddenly opened!" It should be around page 16 on the Qidian app. If it is still incorrect, exit and re-enter the chapter. If that does not work, delete the book and add it again.)

When in doubt, ask a spell.

This might not have been the usual solution for Arthur spellcasters, but it was absolutely Zhao Xu's preferred method—a cheater with vast resources who did not need to worry about Spell Slots.

The two construct statues required him to destroy both within a single round, and they even came with equal damage transfer.

Even a Legendary Warrior would have been in for a world of hurt.

If this swirling portal of black light before him had no traps secretly set up inside, Zhao Xu would write his Arthur Common Tongue name backward on the spot.

He was suspicious as well.

Did the second secret chamber really require a portal to reach?

No wonder he had not felt much regional vibration from the start. No actual trial space had been created for him.

It seemed the trial ground arranged by that Animated Cellar had been completely isolated from everything else, cutting off any possibility of taking shortcuts.

"Analyze Portal!"

Zhao Xu immediately cast this third-ring arcane spell. A cone of light spread from his eyes, extending across a twenty-meter radius.

Fortunately, this spell did not need to overcome Spell Resistance, so Magic Immunity did not affect it.

Through the spell, Zhao Xu began analyzing the portal before him.

Spell Power could originally be used to search an area for the presence of portals, so he naturally skipped that step and recalled the portal's individual traits as though from memory.
