The dragon girl's trial: breaking through the illusion in her heart!
[Your territory's troop type: Wu Sanlang has successfully advanced to Tier Three, with all attributes increased by 100%!]
[Your...]
Shen Xing quickly counted them; there were a total of 57 prompts.
This means that there are 57 more Tier Three powerhouses in the territory, and they are all high-quality powerhouses with the lowest potential, all of whom are at the Boss Rank!
"Not bad, only 7 out of 64 advancement materials failed, a success rate of over 85%, that's great."
He nodded in satisfaction, and then compiled a list of breakthroughs for each of the various troop types.
They are: 12 Orcs, 10 Skeleton Archers, 5 Infernal Lords, 8 Dretch, 6 Shadow Dragon, 4 Werewolves, and 12 Black Moon Knight.
Basically, only 1-2 units of each unit type failed, and the Black Moon Knight and Shadow Dragon all achieved breakthroughs, with a success rate of 100%!
Shen Xing withdrew his gaze and ordered, "Alright, everyone go and get used to the power of the Tier Three."
"A great battle is coming tonight, and we need everyone's strength."
Upon hearing the last sentence, these newly promoted Tier Three powerhouses' eyes turned red, and they shouted in unison!
"We are willing to fight to the death for our territory!"
The Fervor shouts echoed across the entire territory, and a fierce fighting spirit ignited in their eyes.
Upon hearing that a major battle was scheduled for that night, their first reaction was not fear, but excitement!
Lord, you've invested so many resources in them, it's finally time for them to show their skills!
I must perform well tonight and try to kill as many enemies as possible!
Filled with excitement, the group of Tier Three troops left the open area.
Soon, only Shen Xing and Onyxia remained on the field.
The dragon maiden was still digesting the essence and blood within her body, and the shadow aura emanating from her body grew increasingly intense.
However, because she had already absorbed it once before, her speed would be much faster than other Tier Three experts breaking through to the Tier Four.
Ten minutes later, Onyxia's aura gradually calmed down.
And just then!
"Snap!"
A clear cracking sound rang out, accompanied by a strong spatial fluctuation, startling Lord Shen.
He thought some powerful figure had attacked him, and he almost pulled out the Lotus Lantern to save his life.
Fortunately, this was not a surprise attack, but rather an anomaly caused by Onyxia's breakthrough.
Upon closer inspection, a spatial rift appeared beside the dragon girl, resembling a portal to an unknown region.
In the middle of this crack, you can also see a special symbol, which looks like the letter 'S'.
"What is this...?" Shen Xing asked in confusion.
"This is my trial passage," Onyxia explained softly. "Entering this portal will take you into the trial space, where the Master Trial will officially begin."
Shen Xing nodded in realization, then asked, "And what does this 'S' symbol mean?"
The dragon maiden turned her head and looked at it, her expression becoming more serious. "This means that the difficulty of this trial is S-rank."
"When I took the Master Trial last time, it was only at a B-level difficulty, but I almost failed..."
"As expected, the second trial will be many times more difficult."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xing realized the seriousness of the situation and frowned, asking, "Are you confident?"
Onyxia thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I'm not entirely sure, but the power bestowed upon me by the Dragon Lord gives me combat strength far exceeding that of others of the same level."
"As long as we don't encounter any strange trials, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Shen Xing nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.
"Then I'll go in, Dragon Lord," Onyxia asked softly.
"Go."
Under Shen Xing's watchful gaze, the dragon girl resolutely stepped into the portal, her slender figure gradually swallowed by the darkness.
At the same time, a system notification flashed before my eyes.
[Your territory hero: Onyxia, has officially begun her Master Trial!]
[Trial Difficulty: S-rank]
[Trial time remaining: 05:59:59 seconds...]
[Please complete the challenge within the specified time; otherwise, the trial will be considered a failure.]
[Note! The lord can watch the heroes' trials and has one opportunity to provide off-field assistance (either by giving them a warning or controlling the hero's actions)]
Chapter 256: The Dragon Girl's Trial, Breaking Through the Mysteries in Her Heart!
"Oh? Not only can we watch Onyxia's Master Trial, but we can also provide her with off-site assistance?"
"This feature is quite interesting."
Shen Xing looked at the prompt in front of him and became interested.
Then, focusing his attention on the portal in front of him, he indeed saw the scene inside the trial space.
Before him lay a vast expanse of sky and earth.
The vast land retains its pristine appearance, with endless mountain ranges resembling crouching dragons.
In the sky, you can see many enormous figures flying by.
The enormous dragon wings spread out, like moving black clouds, casting a shadow over the earth.
"Where... is this place?" Shen Xing wondered.
At the same time, Onyxia regained consciousness.
When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a ruggedly styled tent.
In the corner were piles of various giant animal bones, as well as some dragon totem emblems.
She was lying in bed, feeling weak all over.
Before she could even sit up, the tent flap was lifted, and a group of unusual figures walked in from outside.
Like Onyxia, they had humanoid bodies, but with horns on their foreheads and black scales covering their faces.
The leader was an older woman with a pair of vertical pupils that shone with wisdom.
"Child, you're awake?" the older woman asked with concern as she stepped forward.
Onyxia looked at the familiar figures before her and felt a sense of disorientation.
"Dragon Mother Nidiya... Scorched Claw... Badan..." she called tentatively, "Is it you?"
The several human figures inside the tent exchanged glances, their faces showing confusion.
"Of course it's us, Xiaolin, what are you talking about?" A male dragonman stepped forward and said strangely.
Upon hearing the name 'Xiaolin,' Onyxia's eyes widened, and she tentatively asked again, "Then where is this place?"
"This is the Land of Dragons, our Shadow Dragon Tribe!" the male dragonman replied without hesitation.
"The Land of Dragons, the Shadow Dragon Tribe..." Onyxia murmured, repeating, "Am I back again? Or was it just a nightmare?"
But soon, her eyes widened in shock. "No, this is a trial space. You are all fake; this is a test for me!"
Seeing this, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding dragon people became even more peculiar.
"What happened to Xiaolin? Did he get surrounded by those Storm Eagles and fall from the sky, breaking his head in the process?"
"Maybe... I sense something's off about her."
"Dragon Mother, should we ask the shaman to come and take a look at Xiaolin?"
Onyxia listened to their discussion and their familiar tone, a look of bewilderment flashed across her eyes once more.
Although she knew in her heart that she was in a trial space.
But isn't all of this a little too real?
To confirm her theory, Onyxia got up from her small wooden bed and crawled out of the tent.
Before her lay a familiar scene.
Scattered among the towering mountains, huge tents form a primitive campsite.
There are also many giant nests in the mountains, from which streaks of black shadow emerge and transform into enormous Shadow Dragon.
Looking up, the sky was azure, and giant dragons soared freely; everything was exactly the same as I remembered.
"Mount Dukesi, the Shadow Dragon Tribe... and the Dragon Mother."
Onyxia muttered to herself, "This trial space is too realistic..."
"I'd heard before that some Master Trial specifically target the weakest points in one's mind, creating realistic illusions."
"It is said that only by finding the flaw in the illusion, that is, the exit, can one escape, which is extremely difficult."
"However, I will not fail!"
"I will definitely find the way out and pass the trial!"
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists tightly, her gaze becoming incredibly determined.
Next, the dragon girl searched throughout the entire tribe and even this familiar land.
Strangely, wherever she went, everything was exactly as she remembered, and she couldn't see any flaws or exits.
Days passed by, and soon a month had gone by.
On this day, Onyxia emerged from her tent, her once determined gaze now filled with confusion.
She even began to doubt herself, wondering if it was all an illusion.
After all... if I were really inside the trial space, time would have passed long ago.
She will be teleported away if she fails the trial.
But now, he is still in this tribe, living a life exactly the same as he remembers.
What exactly is going on?
At that moment, Shen Xing, who was watching from the outside, also frowned.
"I never expected this Master Trial to be so insidious; the flow of time inside is different from the outside."
"One hour outside is at least one month inside."
He realized that this S-rank trial was likely created based on Onyxia's memories.
