The Last Step
Before long, the Man Faced Demon Spider died under the combined attack of Xiao Wu and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
As soon as it breathed its last, Xiao Wu immediately distanced herself to avoid a direct confrontation with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, which was in Berserk state.
Next, all we need to do is wait for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to succumb to its poison and die.
Sure enough, it didn't last long before the toxins in the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body took effect, and its massive body collapsed to the ground and began to dissipate, leaving only a golden mass behind.
Wang Xingyu leaned closer to examine it. "This looks like Soul Bone?"
As expected of the must-eat list in the Douluo Continent, even the Simulation versions are amazing.
Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised. "Simulation Soul Bone? Can we use it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear claw bone vanished along with his body.
"What a bizarre Soul Beast," Xiao Wu muttered.
After passing the twelfth step, the moon pattern under my feet is almost a complete circle.
The two easily defeated the thirteenth-tier human.
The fourteenth-tier Soul Beast were two Ancient Guardian, each 49,999 years old.
Using the same tactic as before, Wang Xingyu used the Blue Silver Grass to distract Xiao Wu while running around the stone steps, waiting for her to finish off one of the enemies before providing support.
Just before Wang Xingyu was about to collapse from exhaustion, Xiao Wu arrived, and the two of them focused their attacks on the other one.
Passed the fourteenth step of the Moon-Reflecting Steps.
Nearly seven months have passed since the beginning of the Fifth Trial of the Yue Shen. Today is the final stage, the fifteenth stage.
Once this stage is passed, the Fifth Trial of the Yue Shen will be completed, and the New and Full Moon Domain will truly be obtained.
Moon-Reflecting City, many people stood up.
Every fifteen days, one enters, climbs one step, and then exits.
The two were unique, but most people here were busy cultivating, so there weren't many people watching out of curiosity.
But after passing the twelfth step, it seemed to attract everyone's attention.
Many people have this thought: Will these two be able to reach the fifteenth level?
So, when the two appeared today, many people quietly gathered around.
Despite the crowd watching, no one bothered them, so the two simply ignored it.
"You two aren't going to try to pass the fifteenth step today, are you?" the middle-aged man with the half-mask asked. He was the only one who could exchange a few words with the two of them.
"Yes, uncle, maybe we are the special people you were talking about," Xiao Wu said confidently.
The two walked to the edge, and in a few steps they reached the fourteenth step.
There is no fifteenth level after the fourteenth level.
But Xiao Wu had a special feeling; she took a step from the fourteenth step, her foot was in mid-air, but she didn't fall.
A phantom figure, which appeared to be at the fifteenth level, caught her steadily.
All the Moon-Reflecting Steps began to move and disperse, leaving only the fifteenth step.
Immediately afterwards, fifteenth-tier phantoms appeared all around, most of which had a Soul Master standing on them, one had two standing on it, and two had no Soul Master standing on it.
Upon careful counting, there were exactly fifteen.
These phantoms overlapped and transformed into a fifteenth-order entity, significantly larger than the previous fourteenth-order spaces.
There were fifteen people standing on the stone steps, including two others.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu appeared exceptionally young among them, while the rest were almost all middle-aged people in their forties or fifties, and there was even an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane, who was probably in his sixties or seventies.
One person looked around in confusion. "Is this the Moon-Reflecting City? How did I get here?"
The person next to him explained, pointing to Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu: "These two kids have unlocked the fifteenth level of the Moon-Reflecting Steps. We've all passed the fourteenth level. It seems the fifteenth level test summons those who passed the fourteenth level of the Moon-Reflecting Steps Reflection Steps to fight each other and see who survives to the end."
"Oh, so you mean a free-for-all of fifteen people?"
Some people's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, while others remained calm.
Many of them have clearly been living away from home for many years; some want to further improve their skills, while others are already tired of fighting.
"Hey, how long has it been since anyone climbed the Moon-Reflecting Steps? We've gathered fifteen people, and you even called an old man over?"
The white-haired old man chuckled and said, "I never thought that someone as old as me would come here to watch such a wonderful duel between Soul Master. You guys have your fun, I'll just join in the fun."
"Hahaha, what are we waiting for? Let's quickly decide a winner among the fifteen and see what rewards we'll get for completing all fifteen levels." This person was clearly full of fighting spirit.
"No rush," said the person who had spoken first. "In my opinion, we should focus on defeating these two kids first, and then decide the winner."
"Hit these two kids first? Is that necessary?"
The person explaining chuckled twice, "You don't know, I've been in the Moon-Reflecting City. These two children are extremely powerful. Even at the fourteenth level, they defeated their opponent with very little effort, and that was at the fifteenth level they had unlocked. Even if they aren't strong, they are quite special."
Wang Xingyu's heart sank. Sure enough, the thing he least wanted to happen had finally happened—he was targeted by thirteen people working together. This person knew the details of their battle and had probably been in the Moon-Reflecting City the whole time.
Wang Xingyu silently complained to himself, "Why is this guy staying here after climbing the fourteenth step instead of leaving?"
After reaching the fourteenth level, there will be no longer a mandatory monthly requirement to climb the level, nor will you be kicked out. However, the 1.5x cultivation speed boost will only last for another month.
"Oh, actually I'm not that strong." Xiao Wu tried to act cute, even though she found it difficult to handle so many people.
"No, you're the strongest. The boy next to you only has Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul, and he's a Support System. His combat strength is far inferior to yours. We'll mainly rely on you to get through this. That girl is always pretending, so everyone attack her first!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Wu crossed her arms in front of her chest, her puffs up in anger.
"Um," Wang Xingyu said, seeing he couldn't stop them, "I have no objection to you two teaming up against the two of us. But I think we should prioritize eliminating this old man."
"Hehe, young man, did this old man offend you?" the white-haired old man asked, squinting his eyes.
"No, grandpa. I've just heard of something that can change one's appearance, called a disguise technique. No one knows if you're real or fake. Perhaps you've been holding back until the very end before making your move. Besides, you can see it from down there."
Upon hearing this, the group all felt that there was some truth to it.
Someone nearby chimed in, "Indeed, old man, why don't you keep watching?"
"Hey, is watching from below the same as watching from above? Besides, you can touch my face, I'm the real deal."
"Go away, old man, who cares if it's true or not? Get down."
Seeing that everyone was determined to kick him out, the white-haired old man looked at Wang Xingyu and said, "Hehehe, young man, you've got some skills."
The first half of his sentence was spoken in an old man's voice, but the second half had already turned into a young man's voice.
He ran his hands through his hair and smoothed it back. Instantly, his short white hair turned into long hair, and his appearance transformed into that of a handsome young man in his twenties.
"Alright, then I won't hide."
The scene left those around them stunned.
Wang Xingyu only wanted to test the waters, but he didn't expect to actually find out.
