Final trial completed

In the middle of the flower field.

Although Xia had just touched the threshold of Blood Control her Mental Strength on the verge of death, she narrowly ducked to avoid that sword -Draw Sword.

But this top player from the Red Tide was still in a daze until this moment.

She knew Lu Xiu was very strong, whether through various channels, the praise posts on the Nine Provinces Forum, or Lu Xiu's own achievements, such as the feat of creating the new Fifteen Turns job class [Berserker] single-handedly.

Everything suggests that this legendary chief Architect of Nine Provinces, the Berserker Progenitor, is absolutely powerful.

Xia was mentally prepared for all of this, and she was also prepared for a protracted battle.

But she really—really didn't expect it!

Lu Xiu's strength is so exaggerated that it completely disregards basic principles—fifty players ganging up on her, she doesn't even have the power to fight back!

Before entering the final trial.

When Xia saw the system offer the reward called "[Uncrowned King]", her first reaction was also excitement.

In Xia's mind, the system was absolutely fair, and since the system had given the rule that defeating the progenitor of a profession would result in a reward.

That means that, in the system's simulation, it's entirely possible for fifty top players working together to defeat Lu Xiu.

Xia had previously firmly believed this, thinking she truly had a chance to overcome the formidable obstacle of Lu Xiu.

But now—less than ten minutes!

Fifty top players, selected through the hellish dungeon! They didn't even last ten minutes! Not only did they not last, they didn't even manage to touch a single piece of clothing or a strand of hair before being swept away—

The thirteen who survived weren't particularly remarkable; they were simply quick to escape.

They were just quick to dodge!

Xia had a premonition that if she had dared to use her Mental Strength to interfere with and seize control of Lu Xiu's blood and qi with that sword Draw Sword, she would have been cut in two!

That giant tree is the evidence.

Listening to the distant roar of the collapsing giant tree, and looking at Lu Xiu standing quietly not far away, Xia suddenly murmured, "What have I done to deserve this?"

For the first time in her life, she began to doubt the supreme system that symbolized authority in the gamified world.

Is it bugged?

Is such a pioneer of a profession truly a target that can be defeated? Is the Title of "Uncrowned King" something that anyone can truly attain?

Xia recalled how, just minutes earlier, she had actually tried to obtain the Title "Uncrowned King" and attempted to interrupt Lu Xiu, and a sense of absurdity immediately welled up in her heart.

How could I have dared to do that?

The others weren't much better off.

They'll either question the meaning of life or be so angry they'll laugh.

"Lu Xiu ----"

After getting up, Shen Nian vigorously patted the dust off her clothes, then looked at the girl not far away whose breathing rate hadn't changed at all, her face full of bitterness. "Do you know that there's a term in the world called psychological trauma?"

Lu Xiu smiled and asked, "So, do you have any psychological trauma now?"

Shen Nian countered with, "What do you think?"

"Anyway, I won't use any blood-based skills in front of you anymore."

Ulysses stood up and continued, "I only have one question now—does the Berserker Progenitor Title provide any bonus to manipulating Qi and Blood?"

Lu Xiu casually replied, "Yes, but it's banned. You should have seen the announcement before you came in, right?"

This is no secret.

If they change jobs, the system, for the sake of fairness, should inform them of any restrictions they will face when facing the progenitor of their chosen profession.

Other players who gradually got back up:

Okay, okay.

With skills that enhance qi and blood manipulation banned—it's like beating up our grandsons! But if they're not banned, does that mean we can't even use our skills?

It would have been better not to say anything at all!

Although this is Roleplay Instance, it discusses the combat power of the Berserker system.

But this is also despairing.

"How did you do that, Miss Lu Xiu?"

At this moment.

The player with the ID "Lu Jing" stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Logically speaking, if the system doesn't allow you to receive a bonus, then what about the certificate?"

The Ming system intends to put you and us on the same starting line.

"But even though we're both enhancing our skills, why can't Princess Rosalind and Miss Shen Nian compete with you? And what about those other skills? Why is the power you unleash so great, while we can't?"

Lu Xiu blinked, glanced at him, and realized that she really didn't remember him.

really.

With such a large population, there are still many geniuses.

"----Can I say that?"

Lu Jing noticed Lu Xiu's gaze and felt a little embarrassed.

That's a foul.

He was just like the God of War, but now, standing quietly in the garden, he has transformed into a completely different persona.

Do you remove the filter after a fight?

Just as Lu Jing was thinking this, he suddenly noticed two figures blocking his view.

On the other side.

Although the others remained silent, their eyes, all fixed on Lu Xiu, were filled with a thirst for knowledge.

Because the gap is just too big.

"There's nothing I can't say."

Lu Xiu noticed that everyone else was like this, and said directly, "Simply put, it's still a matter of controlling your Qi and blood. Although Rosalind and Shen Nian both used Rampage mode, the degree was different."

For example, if their value for strengthening themselves through Qi and Blood is 1, then mine is 10. The same applies to the later skills. Your biggest problem is that your Mental Strength cannot accurately control Qi and Blood.

The core of the Berserker, from beginning to end, can be summed up in just four words: Qi and Blood Control. Its power depends entirely on this.

Of course, there might also be a difference in imagination.

"Imagination?"

Upon hearing this, Rosalind glanced at her hands, seemingly lost in thought.

"Right."

Lu Xiu continued, "For example, the Rage Burst and the Cross Slash just now were Berserker skills that I designed, but the way I released them is different from yours, right?"

Why can't you unleash it? One reason is a lack of mental control, but another is that you're bound by fixed techniques.

Lu Xiu looked at the thoughtful crowd and slowly raised her right hand.

The blood-red blade she had been holding suddenly disintegrated into a thick cloud of blood mist, which then rapidly condensed in mid-air, transforming back into a blood-red blade suspended in the air.

"In reality, what you can achieve after changing jobs depends on your talent, but in this dungeon, the way you use your blood energy is very versatile, since I've given you very few restrictions."

As Lu Xiu spoke, she casually flicked her fair index finger downwards.

Clang!

The blood-red blade, suspended in mid-air, instantly transformed into a streak of light and pierced towards a broken tombstone.

With a loud bang, the hard stone tombstone exploded.

"You see, as long as you have enough Mental Strength and can control your vital energy that's leaving your body, isn't this just a ranged skill?"

"But you all seem to only know how to use skills according to the template. Even though there are so few restrictions in the dungeon, you don't know how to design some skills based on blood energy. For example, the blood beam, blood mist blade, Draw Sword that I just used are not fixed skills of the Berserker."

But that doesn't mean it can't be released, does it?

Looking at the blood-stained blade stuck in the tombstone, then at Lu Xiu not far away.

In the center of the flower field, the thirteen players fell silent.

They understood the reasoning.

But the problem is----

This is way beyond the scope of the curriculum!!!

Lu Xiu's words were absolutely flawless.

But that's the most despairing part—knowing the principle, but being completely unable to do it.

After Lu Xiu finished explaining, she slowly raised her head and looked at the countdown panel on the right edge of her vision.

[Remaining time for the trial as a Berserker Mentor: 04:12]

"It's almost over----"

Lu Xiu stared at the fluctuating numbers and muttered to herself.

Her time as a mentor is limited.

That's why she used that slightly more brutal method, the "blood-splattered blades" technique, just now.

Of course, answering players' questions is also part of the teaching process—and this will affect her completion score.

That's why she said so much.

As for personal reasons—there was a little bit, after all, Shen Nian Jian Li, and other acquaintances were there.

It seems the teaching method has been effective.

Anyway, Lu Xiu herself thought it was good.

"That's about it."

Lu Xiu withdrew her gaze and turned it back to the thirteen players. "You were able to cross the threshold of controlling your qi and blood with your Mental Strength in a desperate situation, even if you only barely managed to save your lives, you can be considered qualified."

Passed ----

This level is merely acceptable!

When I heard those three words...

Shen Nian, Xia, and the others were starting to lose their composure.

Pretending not to notice their expressions, Lu Xiu continued, "Is there anything else you want to show me?"

A deathly silence.

None of the players answered her.

What a load of crap!

Lu Xiu looked at them, waited quietly for a few seconds, and then nodded knowingly. "It seems you have no energy left, and nothing else to show me. Since you have nothing else—"

She raised her right hand again, extending her fair index finger.

Before the thirteen players could react, countless threads of blood energy shot down from the sky without warning, wrapped around their wrists, and then pulled upwards sharply.

With a gasp of astonishment, the thirteen players who were still pondering were suddenly pulled by the wrists with blood-red threads, their hands raised high, their feet off the ground, and suspended in mid-air.

They were hung up again----

But this time...

Lu Xiu deliberately moved the women to the back.

And as it turns out...

Lu Xiu's decision to move the female players to the back was correct.

Because this suspended posture, with both hands tied together and the body completely without gravity support, is undeniably a bit... well, erotic.

Especially Jian Li, Shen Nian, and Rosalind, who already have excellent figures.

After raising both hands.

Their originally loose Hunter outfits now clung perfectly to their mature and voluptuous bodies, outlining their breathtaking curves to the fullest extent. Their legs, suspended in the air, appeared even longer, creating a sense of delicate beauty.

"Huh? What's going on?!"

Rosalind was still in Rampage state, her fair skin flushed, her Fox Ears drooping limply on her head. Before she could react, she found herself suspended in mid-air.

Shen Nian also swung her straight and shapely legs. "---- Lu Xiu?"

"I'll screw you guys."

Lu Xiu looked at the crowd swaying in mid-air.

"----Didn't you say we'd pass?! If we pass, are you going to hang us up like pigs?!"

Cheng Xiu was completely bewildered. He tried to destroy the silk thread again, but this time the seemingly delicate blood-red thread remained completely still no matter what he did.

"That's right, you all passed."

Lu Xiu looked at the countdown still ticking in the upper right corner. "But you have no new moves to show, and I still have a few minutes to mentor you—although I think you've met my expectations and I don't want to keep killing you, this is just my judgment."

The system might not accept my judgment. If we just sit here staring at each other and do nothing for the next few minutes, the system might judge me as the tutor for going easy on the students and deduct my score.

At the same time, it will be judged that you are passively responding to the challenge, and your completion rewards will be deducted.

So to avoid this happening, you'll just have to hang yourself."

Everyone:

Although it sounds reasonable.

But why does it seem so... grossing?

"Consider this my last pop quiz for you. You can control your Mental Strength, but fine motor skills are still lacking."

The controls are a complete mess, perfect for practicing. Try to break free.

Lu Xiu looked at the group in mid-air. "By the way, the silk threads binding you this time are an enhanced version."

Upon hearing this...

Everyone's vision went black.

For a moment, above the flower field, a dozen top players swayed and began to struggle, their faces flushed, against the thin, blood-red threads on their wrists.

However, while the vast majority of players were still struggling.

Clatter

The sound of boots hitting the ground rang out abruptly.

Lu Xiu looked in the direction of the sound.

Jian Li, who had been hanging behind the group, had landed.

Her silver hair, as white as moonlight, fluttered gently in the night breeze before slowly falling back down; the reinforced crimson threads that had bound her had dissipated.

"So fast?"

Lu Xiu looked at Jian Li and tilted her head.

If her earlier interference with the silk threads was merely imitation and didn't prove anything, then her swift break free of the restraints now was more than just imitation— Jian Li was indeed far more skilled than others in controlling her qi and blood with her Mental Strength.

What's that noise?

In mid-air, the group, who had been red-faced and struggling with the bloodline, also heard the sound of landing.

"Someone solved it?!"

Wei Yidong was hanging at the front, suddenly realized what was happening and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Who?! Who untied it?! How?! Quick! Teach me the trick! Please!"

He kept shouting as he tried to turn his head to see who it was.

But because his arms were raised high, he couldn't do it at all; he could only swing around in mid-air like a sandbag.

Back row.

Jian Li ignored Wei Yidong and simply tied her moon-like silver hair back into a high ponytail.

Then.

She looked up, her glassy eyes reflecting Lu Xiu's image. "Can I try with you one more time?"

"Try me again—does that mean fight me?"

Edge of the flower field

Lu Xiu looked at Jian Li, whose hair was tied in a high ponytail, and asked curiously.

"Um."

Jian Li nodded gently. "I want to see—where my current limits are."

Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, but I won't go easy on you."

"I know."

Jian Li responded and immediately activated her Rampage. Her originally fair and snow-white skin suddenly turned bright red, and hot white steam rose up.

The next moment.

The soil beneath her feet exploded, and countless white petals were shredded by the airflow, rushing directly towards Lu Xiu.

During the high-speed advance, before even getting close to Lu Xiu, Jian Li Jian Li turned to the side, spread his five fingers on his right hand, and forcefully pushed upwards towards Lu Xiu's location.

Buzz.

The unclaimed blood mist that had been spreading above the sea of flowers instantly condensed into blood spikes under Jian Li's control, and began to pierce towards Lu Xiu's location along the ground.

"Isn't that a great imagination?"

Facing the blood-tinged spikes that swarmed along the ground like a carpet of fungus.

Lu Xiu raised her right hand.

Just as the blood spike was about to strike, it suddenly disintegrated, transforming back into a dense, uncontrollable cloud of blood mist.

But that's not enough.

Lu Xiu raised her right hand and gently pushed it forward as well.

Rumble!

The dissipated blood mist merged back into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, an even thicker, blood-red thorn burst from the earth, striking back at Jian Li, who was charging forward, at an even faster speed.

The instantaneous transformation and counterattack of blood and qi forms are so fast that people don't even have time to think about them.

The dozen or so people who were being hung up were still completely bewildered.

Jian Li reacted extremely quickly. Faced with the blood spikes that suddenly sprang up from the ground, she immediately stopped rushing forward, then clasped her hands together in front of her, making a gesture as if she were holding up a spherical object.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lu Xiu's blood-red thorns also dissipated, turning into rolling blood mist, which then gathered in Jian Li's arms.

Then.

Jian Li pressed his raised hands towards the center, and the blood mist in his arms instantly condensed into hundreds of blood energy beads the size of soybeans. Then, under the pull of his Mental Strength, these beads extended Extreme Speed at both ends, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into hundreds of blood needles as thin as cow hair.

"Go----"

After Jian Li uttered a single word in a very low voice, the blood needles flew towards Lu Xiu like a shower of flowers!

In just two seconds, the two had changed hands and restructured their control over the same mass of qi and blood three times.

"Wow----

Seeing the blood needles raining down from all directions, Lu Xiu's crimson eyes brightened.

At this stage, Jian Li had only cleared one dungeon, yet her Mental Strength manipulation skills were already so high, and the transition process was so smooth.

All I can say is...

She's really not suited to be a teacher.

Also, Jian Li truly deserves to be called the strongest player in the Strategy Group!

As Lu Xiu pondered this, she raised her right hand again. The hundreds of blood needles in mid-air, enough to turn a person into a sieve, froze instantly the moment she raised her hand.

Then.

Lu Xiu's five fingers were loosely clenched.

Zheng.

The thousands of stagnant blood needles instantly disintegrated, and the blood energy converged towards her palm, transforming once again into a slender blood blade.

Lu Xiu, holding the newly formed blood blade in her hand, lowered her center of gravity slightly and charged towards Jian Li.

On the other side, Lu Xiu was seen charging towards them with a knife.

Jian Li also raised her right hand, making a loose fist in mid-air.

Buzz!

The dissipating blood energy around her converged into her palm.

In the blink of an eye, a blood-red blade, similar in style to the one in Lu Xiu's hand but thinner and narrower, solidified in her grasp.

Jian Li flicked her blood-red blade lightly, lowered her center of gravity, and charged towards Lu Xiu.

The two suddenly closed the distance, just before they were about to collide.

Jian Li immediately adjusted his stance, and the long, narrow blood-red blade in his hand moved from bottom to top, transforming into an arc of light that aimed directly at Lu Xiu's blind spot.

However.

When!!!

Lu Xiu retaliated with a swift strike.

The two blood-red blades collided in mid-air, producing a loud explosion and dazzling sparks, just like the clash of normal weapons.

The reaction force travels along the handle of the knife.

Jian Li and Lu Xiu simultaneously used the momentum to retreat several meters backward.

But the moment their feet touched the ground, the earth exploded, and the two collided violently with an even more terrifying speed than before.

Ta-da!

In the middle of the flower field, the two moved faster and faster, eventually becoming two Afterimage that were difficult to catch with the naked eye. They fought their way from one end of the flower field to the other, and the sound of their blades clashing was like a dense drumbeat, making everyone's eardrums hurt.

Not just knife fighting.

The two continued to unleash their blood-energy skills in between.

When!

It was another powerful and heavy clash of knives!

The two men's blades clashed, locked in a struggle, their blades grinding against each other, sparks flying and a piercing screeching sound emanating from the friction.

In that instant of stalemate...

Jian Li suddenly raised her free left hand behind her, and dozens of blood-red threads instantly condensed behind Lu Xiu and shot towards Lu Xiu's blind spot.

However, Lu Xiu didn't even turn her head. Her incomparably powerful Mental Strength spread out, and the blood-red threads that were about to touch her were as if they had hit an invisible wall of sighs, and they all snapped in mid-air.

"Such overly refined techniques are not suitable for fighting me."

Lu Xiu deftly Neutralize the sneak attack while speaking.

At the same time, he raised his free left hand and casually flicked it in Jian Li's direction.

The thick, viscous blood mist in the air, like a crimson blanket, immediately swept towards Jian Li.

Jian Li immediately turned to the side, using the blood-red blade in her hand to deflect the long sword that Lu Xiu had pressed down in front of her, and then used her other hand to hold the weapon horizontally in front of her chest for defense.

Bang!!!

The blood mist slammed into him, and even with his weapon blocking, Jian Li was still sent flying, his feet carving two deep furrows in the mud before he flew directly to the other side of the garden.

Lu Xiu slightly shifted her position and vanished like a ghost, transforming into a streak of light that once again rushed straight towards Jian Li!

On the other side.

Jian Li watched Lu Xiu rushing towards her like a shadow. Before she even landed, she twisted her body, raised the blood-stained blade in her hand, and pulled her arm back.

Buzz!

The surrounding blood energy seemed to be drawn towards the tip of the knife in her hand, compressing into a red dot in the blink of an eye.

Jian Li aimed at Lu Xiu, who was rushing towards her, and gently thrust forward.

It was the same beam of blood that Lu Xiu had just released.

Boom!

The blood energy that had been gathering at the tip of the blade suddenly transformed from a single point into a bundle.

Then, the crimson beam of light pierced through the target at a speed completely beyond reason.

Lu Xiu, who was moving at high speed, suddenly turned her head.

The crimson beam grazed past her ear, crumbling just before it touched her. The beam shrank slightly, but even so, its power remained considerable. After passing her, it pierced through a stone sculpture behind her, blasting it to pieces.

"This would suit you quite well!"

Lu Xiu accelerated again and collided violently with Jian Li.

Rumble!!!

A deafening roar erupted once more in the center of the flower field, and the two Afterimage clashed swords again.

And at this very moment.

The twelve top players hanging in mid-air were already dumbfounded, and even forgot the pain in their wrists.

Holy crap?!

So other players can achieve similar results?!

etc.

The system has determined that fifty players have a chance to defeat Lu Xiu! Could it be because of Jian Li?

"---- Jian Li so strong just now! Why didn't she go all out!"

Thinking of this, Ulysses couldn't help but say, "We had a chance just now because she went all out!"

"----idiot."

Xia paused for a moment after hearing this, then replied, "If Jian Li had gone all out just now, then Lu Xiu would have had to go all out—I vaguely understand now. Lu Xiu's role is a professional mentor, and her responsibility is to teach players, but there is a time limit. This means that she needs to complete her mentor duties as quickly as possible within a fixed time."

After all, the dungeon isn't just for Top-Tier Instance, which is why she put everyone up for a stun, and that's why she unleashed such exaggerated skills— Rage Burst across the entire garden, blood beams, a sky full of blood blades, and Draw Sword.

"Only in this way can she quickly confirm our talent in Mental Strength control. But if Jian Li interferes, what do you think Lu Xiu will do to save time?"

Ulysses paused for a moment, then replied, "----With a more powerful technique?"

Xia said somewhat dejectedly, "Yes, if that's the case, maybe none of the thirteen people will stay—"

Ulysses: "Impossible—"

"Why not? Didn't you notice? None of the Nine Provinces players have said anything—they've clearly realized that what's unfolding before us is another form of instruction."

Xia replied, "But this teaching has an entry requirement, which is to break free from the silk threads binding us. You've been watching for so long, haven't you noticed yet? Lu Xiu hasn't used any silk threads to bind Jian Li yet, isn't that obvious?"

Ulysses: "----"

Boom!

While the players who were hanging there were thinking different things...

The fierce battle in the center of the flower field has finally reached a critical point.

The clash of swords, the spray of blood, the shockwaves—the entire flower field was as if it had been plowed through by the battle between Lu Xiu and Jian Li, with soil flying everywhere and petals scattered all over the place.

Various blood-red skills appeared one after another, only to collapse, and the blood energy constantly changed hands.

However, after playing for so long...

Jian Li's movements eventually slowed down.

Even though Lu Xiu consciously didn't restrict her, the physical strain of her Rampage state, coupled with the high-intensity micro-management that overdraws her Mental Strength, still prevented Jian Li from maintaining her best condition.

After all, Lu Xiu had already been considering unleashing Transcendent Skill before creating the Berserker.

However, Jian Li only touched the threshold of controlling his Qi and blood with his Mental Strength in this instance.

When!

Accompanied by another crisp clash.

The two separated again, and a gust of wind swept past them, carrying white petals with it.

Jian Li's chest heaved slightly, her fair skin flushed red, and she was already panting. Her hand holding the knife was also trembling slightly.

Lu Xiu looked at Jian Li: "Are you nearing your limit?"

"----Um."

Jian Li pursed her red lips and nodded gently.

It's not that we can't continue playing.

But she saw no hope of victory—and she knew Lu Xiu had let her win.

"That's impressive, taking that long."

Lu Xiu looked up and glanced at the upper right corner of her vision.

[Remaining time in the trial as a "Berserker Mentor": 01:35]

"The time is almost up."

Lu Xiu withdrew her gaze and then looked at Jian Li again, at the silver-haired girl who seemed somewhat unwilling.

Ultimately, it's still a matter of favoritism.

She suddenly laughed and asked, "Jian Li, do you still remember my Extraordinary · Remnant skill?"

Jian Li blinked. "----I remember."

"Do you remember what I relied on to unleash my Extraordinary · Remnant skill on my own?"

"Mental Strength ----"

Jian Li's beautiful eyes lit up slightly as she looked at the surrounding blood energy and realized something.

"That's right."

Lu Xiu conjured a blood blade in her left hand as well, then raised Dual Blades and continued, "So, while there's still a little time left—let me demonstrate another use of the blood energy skill to you."

This was originally Maria's third-phase move, but I didn't include it because I was worried that you'd break her guard if you had to fight her third phase after the second. So, I'll just demonstrate it now."

Others:

It's already breached!

There's a third stage???

Lu Xiu paid no attention to anyone else. She held a blood-stained blade in each hand, slowly crossed them in front of her chest, and then suddenly flung them to her sides.

Call!

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

Roleplay Instance!

The two blood blades, theoretically composed of blood energy, suddenly developed two completely different attributes with this single swing.

A layer of frost had formed, and a biting cold lingered around it.

One of them was wreathed in flames, the intense heat distorting the surrounding air.

This is a move derived from Lu Xiu's [Transcendent·Remnant] skill. Since she can use her Mental Strength to convert her internal blood and qi into thunder and flames, she can certainly do the same with the blood and qi outside her body.

Everyone watched this scene in shock.

no?

ah?

"----This is the envisioned third stage of Maria."

With her back to the enormous Blood Moon in the sky, Lu Xiu held her enchanted blood blade in both hands. Her beautiful face was exceptionally captivating against the backdrop of frost and flames.

The words had barely left his mouth.

She immediately turned slightly to the side, raised the blood-red blade wreathed in frost in her left hand, and swung it forward.

Call!

A crescent-shaped sword light, imbued with frost, suddenly appeared, sweeping past Jian Li's body, lifting her high silver ponytail high, and freezing the flower field behind her into an ice sculpture.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Xiu turned to the side again, and swung the Fiery Blood Blade in her right hand.

Call!

This time, the blood energy, carrying a trail of flames, roared out, and the scorching fire wave carved a charred trench on the other side of the ice sculpture, instantly turning everything in its path—soil, tombstones, and flowers—to ashes.

Jian Li stared blankly at Lu Xiu.

On the other side...

The twelve top players, who had previously struggled occasionally due to wrist pain, now stared wide-eyed, their breath catching in their throats.

Oh my god----

What the hell is this?!

Is this still Berserker?!

Is this still Roleplay Instance?!

Why—why is there such a big difference even though both utilize Qi and blood?

"You cheated, didn't you?!"

Rosalind gazed at the scene behind Jian Li, half frozen and half charred, and murmured, "She can only use Berserker -style skills, so why are her Berserker skills—completely different from ours? Why are they so powerful?"

Wei Yidong, Cheng Xiu, Lu Jing, and the others stared wide-eyed, unable to utter a single word of complaint.

As for Ulysses —he remained completely still.

Just half a minute ago.

He was still skeptical of Xia's speculation that Lu Xiu was in a hurry and that everyone would die if Jian Li had acted sooner.

He still felt that if Jian Li went all out sooner, fifty people would have a fighting chance.

But now, looking at the girl with her back to the Blood Moon, wielding the ice and fire blades— Ulysses even felt fortunate, fortunate that Jian Li hadn't gone all out.

If Lu Xiu had just been chasing after the player with those two knives, ----

I considered this possibility.

Ulysses suddenly wanted to laugh again.

Ha ha----

Everyone stared at Lu Xiu, speechless for a moment.

And at this time...

The countdown in the upper right corner of Lu Xiu's vision finally reached 00:00.

The reinforced crimson threads that were wrapped around everyone's wrists instantly lost their hold and dissipated into a bloody mist.

Thump!

The twelve players, now freed from their restraints, tumbled awkwardly onto the scorched mud, but still kept their eyes fixed on Lu Xiu.

Time's up!

Lu Xiu dispelled the twin blades in her hands, then looked at everyone and said with a charming smile, "Well then, goodbye, and I wish you all success in obtaining your professions."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Lu Xiu, who had only been on the scene for a little over ten minutes but left an indelible psychological scar on everyone, disappeared from the spot.

But everyone remained stunned for a long time.

until.

A system notification sounded.

[Bite!]

[Final Trial: Enter the sea of flowers, speak with the First Hunter Gehrman, then face the Berserker progenitor. Class Mentor "Lu Xiu" has been completed!]

Congratulations! You have gained the approval of your career mentor!

[Settlement will be processed shortly, please wait.]

Everyone: "----"
