Meanwhile, outside Soul Return Town.
This was once a mass grave haunted by countless vengeful spirits.
Now, under the ruthless methods of Grand Commander Shen Yingchun, they have all been wiped out.
It has now become a safe entrance plain.
And above the clear blue sky at dawn.
A kite painted with a giant spider pattern is soaring high in the breeze.
Below the kite.
Tang Sirui, dressed in casual clothes, was embracing the zombie-like Tu Xiaowu from behind.
He patiently taught her how to fly the kite, and the two of them were deeply in love in the morning breeze.
And in this rare tranquility...
"Bite!"
The Sky Curtain appeared as scheduled.
But I'm especially happy today!
[Good morning, fellow warriors clinging to life! And to all the incredibly lucky ones!]
Today marks the eleventh day since we all arrived in this beautiful yet deadly Barbaric Realm!
[At the same time, it also marks the end of our great yet opportunity-filled novice trial!]
Last night, in your distant homeland, a battle worthy of being recorded in history took place!
Unfortunately, most of you were shivering in bed at the time and missed that Human Heart scene!
What a pity!
[But don't hide under the covers and cry, everyone!]
[Because your most magnificent and thoughtful Sky Curtain System will make up for your regrets!]
[This system has decided that it will air tonight at 8 PM during prime time!]
[The top-secret video of last night's successful trial was simultaneously Holographic Projection in various regions around the world!]
[Furthermore! In order to promote humanitarianism, this system will provide assistance to those who, during the trial, are affected by various unforeseen circumstances!]
[Players who failed to earn points on the Novice Ranking will receive a consolation prize!]
So now...
Let's put aside the killing for a moment and give a round of applause to the Novice Ranking!
As the voice from the Sky Curtain faded, a golden curtain of light unfolded in the sky.

Tang Sirui looked up at the unfamiliar IDs scrolling across the Sky Curtain and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.
"Good heavens, it seems that among the newcomers, the truly formidable figures and hidden Big Boss have all been dragged by Sky Curtain to participate in last night's hellish trial."
"Right now, the top ten on this Rankings are all complete strangers I've never even heard of."
Tu Xiaowu, who was being held in his arms, nodded obediently.
Because of her zombie-like state, she spoke haltingly.
"Yes... yes."
"This... this time... it's all thanks to... Mr. Dragon God."
"Otherwise... otherwise... Brother Si Rui... you and I... will be separated forever."
Upon hearing this, Tang Sirui smiled gratefully.
"That's right! This time, it's all thanks to the Dragon God's sudden appearance!"
Only then will I have a chance to escape from them and return to you!
He clenched his fist, his eyes resolute. "This life-saving grace is greater than anything else; if we ever have the chance, we must repay it!"
Tu Xiaowu tilted her stiff neck, a puzzled expression on her face.
"How... how do we report this? The other party... is... the Dragon God who can tear apart Evil God with his bare hands."
"We... are too weak..."
Tang Sirui was immediately displeased upon hearing this.
"Hey! Xiao Wu, that's a huge underestimation of your brother Si Rui!"
He leaned close to Tu Xiaowu's ear mysteriously and whispered something.
"Actually, ever since I awakened [Infinite Firepower], I haven't been idle!"
"In secret, they developed an unparalleled hidden weapon!"
"Hidden weapon?"
Tu Xiaowu blinked. "Is it... impressive?"
"Absolutely!"
Tang Sirui proudly displayed the spatial ring on her lower middle finger, "This is the result of countless hours of hard work!"
"At the risk of Old Zhao Laodeng skinning me alive, I hid the Second Base's armory, and then used my Supernatural Ability to do so,"
"A deadly weapon born from the fusion of many techniques!"
"Let me tell you, this thing is terrifying, but it's also very controllable."
"Actually, I had already secretly conducted nine experiments before this."
"Although all attempts failed, I now have complete control over the data!"
"This final crucial experiment is all that's left. Once successful, it will be ready to take shape!"
Tang Sirui became more and more excited as she spoke, "When the time comes, as long as this thing is used, no matter what kind of monster it is!"
"I can suppress and seal it away directly!"
After hearing this, Tu Xiaowu stiffly turned around to face Tang Sirui.
She opened her mouth, which couldn't close completely due to her zombie-like transformation, revealing several fangs.
"Oh~"
She let out a long exclamation, "So... amazing!"
"Then... what... is it... called?"
Tang Sirui tossed her hair with a swagger, "Its name is Ten Reincarnations of Purification..."
However, he hadn't had a chance to fully say it.
The smile on his face vanished.
"Boom!"
A murderous intent emanated from behind Tu Xiaowu!
It was a dark green afterimage that suddenly shot up!
It shrieked through the air and hurtled straight toward Tu Xiaowu's back!
"Murderous intent! Be careful Xiao Wu!"
Tang Sirui's fighting instincts were activated, and his pupils contracted sharply!
He pulled Tu Xiaowu into his arms, while simultaneously grabbing at the air with his right hand.
"Whoosh!"
The Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo Staff has been revealed!
"When!!!"
A deafening roar echoed through the mass grave!
Tang Sirui, wielding a lone bamboo staff, blocked the fatal blow from the dark green afterimage.
But the power emanating from the weapon was simply outrageous!
"Puff!"
Tang Sirui felt a numbness in both arms, and her tiger's mouth split open, splattering blood.
He was completely unable to dissipate this terrifying force, and while holding Tu Xiaowu, he rolled dozens of times on the ground.
The lone bamboo stick that had saved their lives was now stuck in the soil after slipping from their grasp.
However, that deep green killing intent did not falter in the slightest!
The moment Tang Sirui landed, she transformed into a green lightning bolt once more and continued her attack on them!
Tang Sirui coughed twice and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.
He endured the excruciating pain, squinted, and finally saw the attacker's true face.
That was clearly a sharp-looking woman wearing a dark green military uniform and with a high ponytail!
Her eyes were cold and indifferent, and she had a long scar on her right cheek.
He held two Proud Dragon Maces in his hands!
The twin Proud Dragon Maces spun rapidly in the air, aimed directly at their vital points!
No!
The moment Tang Sirui saw the trajectory of the opponent's attack, her back was soaked with sweat.
The other party's target...
It wasn't him at all!
It was Tu Xiaowu in his arms!
Looking at the China special forces uniform and recalling the opponent's killing move, Tang Sirui suddenly realized something!
The other party definitely mistook the zombie-like Tu Xiaowu for a wild, eerie creature or monster hiding in this mass grave!
"Stop! Stop right now! It's a misunderstanding! We are..."
Tang Sirui tried his best to explain, but before he could finish speaking, the Proud Dragon Maces was already in front of Tu Xiaowu!
The speed was too fast and the strength too great; Tang Sirui, having lost his weapon, was completely powerless to resist.
Gazing at the dark golden Sharp Blade so close at hand, Tang Sirui could only pray desperately in his heart!
I prayed that my mortal body could withstand the blow.
One second.
Two seconds.
The excruciating pain of shattered bones and flying flesh that I had anticipated did not come.
Instead, a voice, even colder than the murderous intent of the woman in military uniform, reached his ears.
"Near Yet Far, yet worlds apart."
The next moment.
"Bang!!!"
A muffled thud!
Tang Sirui opened her eyes and was shocked to find that a foot wearing a black boot had somehow kicked the two crossed Proud Dragon Maces!
That power has transcended the realm of human comprehension.
The woman in military uniform was kicked so hard that she flew backward!
It traced a long parabola in mid-air before crashing into an abandoned grave dozens of meters away, kicking up clouds of dust.
A gentle breeze blows.
A figure dressed in a black shirt stood silently in front of Tang Sirui and Tu Xiaowu.
He put one hand in his pocket and turned his head slightly to the side.
"Touch my people on my turf."
Jiangnan withdrew the right foot that had kicked the woman in military uniform away. "Did you ask me?"
