The sheer weight of numbers alone eliminated nearly a dozen contestants.
Those who remained were all genuine Chunin.
With their advantage in rank and assorted ninja inheritances, they struggled, but they were hardly going to fall to Genin-level mutant beasts.
Seeing this, Li Tai sighed inwardly.
As expected, clearing the Deep Realm Corridor was still too difficult for the talent from tier-three cities.
Meanwhile, Luo Yu had reached the final area of the second floor.
There was nothing here but an endless expanse of seawater.
It was as though he had truly appeared out of thin air in the middle of the ocean.
Just then, the seawater before him suddenly condensed into a Three-Tier Genin Water Clone.
Once the Water Clone had fully taken shape, Luo Yu was startled.
The boy looked like a delicate, pretty girl, his ink-black hair flowing gracefully in the sea breeze.
He wore a light blue-green robe, with a forehead protector bearing Kirigakure's emblem on his forehead.
"Holy shit! Bai!"
Luo Yu blurted out.
Standing before him was the image of Bai, the young Ice Release ninja from Kirigakure in the original story.
At the same time, challenge information descended before him.
The initial information was identical to that of the other areas on the second floor.
Yet the time limit had actually been shortened to three minutes.
The challenge objectives had changed, too.
[Challenge objectives: survive for 3 minutes / survive for 5 minutes / defeat Bai]
Well, damn. Looks like that time limit means I only need to survive against Bai for three minutes to clear the challenge.
And he would receive one Abyss Tomoe.
Last five minutes, and he would receive two.
Only by defeating Bai could he obtain all the Abyss Tomoe.
He actually didn't have to defeat Bai
