Bai Xiaowen immediately summoned Rageclaw.
Rageclaw was taller and sturdier than before, as big as a full-grown buffalo.
Bai Xiaowen glanced at him. Rageclaw was level 10.
"He's still at the awakened-creature stage..."
Bai Xiaowen frowned. Coupled with the fact that Zhen Mi had not advanced to Evolver alongside him, he understood.
Death God's Visage had now completely absorbed the Black Soul Stone.
But one thing remained: the summoned creatures from the Black Soul Stone were not yet evolved creatures! Their attributes and skills had not changed.
It was only natural that evolved creatures could inflict Tier Suppression on them.
What Bai Xiaowen did not know was that this dungeon was considerably harder than one faced by an ordinary newly advanced Evolver.
Because he had two professions! And he was a lord!
To wear the crown was to bear its weight. Other newly advanced Evolvers encountered monsters no higher than level 11 in their Profession Trials—only one level above them. The effects of Tier Suppression were naturally much weaker, almost negligible.
But even the lowliest skeleton Bai Xiaowen encountered was level 13!
Bai Xiaowen took a breath, but he did not panic.
He had already checked. The Trial Grounds existed to help awakened ones adapt to an Evolver's power. If they faced fatal damage, the trial would end automatically. There was no question of failing the trial, much less dying.
The only difference was how well he scored.
Bai Xiaowen stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Rageclaw.
Black light flickered beneath the feet of the two Wandering Bones, and they lunged forward with an agility that defied reason.
In Bai Xiaowen's vision, the two Wandering Bones' Spirit Force Values dropped another notch.
Bai Xiaowen clenched his fist and gathered strength where he stood.
Origin Force was gathering...
