The excitement on their faces froze, replaced by extreme fear!

The next second.

"Puff! Puff puff puff—!"

Countless sounds of flesh exploding rang out, and the soldiers exploded all around like fireworks of blood and flesh!

Limbs and severed parts flew everywhere, and the pungent smell of blood instantly filled the air.

"What... is this?!"

Shen Xing struggled to resist the pressure, his face turning extremely red.

Just then, he suddenly felt a sense of impending death!

Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Xing unleashed all his strength and charged forward!

"Boom!"

The very next second after he escaped, a huge crater appeared where he had been standing.

It was as if an invisible hand had pressed it down, causing the surrounding ground to cave in.

One can imagine that if he had been just a step slower, he would probably have been crushed into a meat patty!

Shen Xing, who had survived the ordeal, did not feel fortunate, because the dark clouds overhead had not yet dissipated, and the soldiers around him were still exploding wildly.

This means the massacre is still ongoing.

"This SS-level trial is insanely difficult!"

"We finally managed to kill a Grandmaster Rank monster, but then an even more powerful being appeared!"

"This is fucking unfit for human use!"

Shen Xing mentally ranted and raved while his brain raced.

The system won't issue tasks that are guaranteed to fail; there must be some turning point.

At the very least, we must survive this attack!

He quickly looked around and suddenly noticed that several glittering objects had appeared where the Grandmaster Rank monster had died.

"Hmm? Treasures can drop inside the trial space?"

Shen Xing instinctively felt that this thing might be related to his mission.

He took a deep breath, mustered all his strength, and tried his best to resist the oppressive force.

Then, amidst a series of explosions, they rapidly approached the glowing objects.

Just as he struggled to climb to the edge of the pit and was about to touch something on the ground...

"Puff!"

A terrifying, sharp pain shot through my back.

Shen Xing froze instantly, his face turning extremely pale.

Turning around, I saw a bloody hole the size of a bowl on my back!

It looked as if it had been bitten by something, and blood was gushing out.

"No way... this is outrageous, isn't it? I'm going to die like this?"

Before he could react, he suddenly felt a violent swelling all over his body, as if he was about to burst open!

In his last moments of consciousness, he saw a system notification.

[The Pioneer has been eliminated; the Master Trial has failed...]

With a "bang," Shen Xing's body exploded on the spot, and his consciousness completely dissipated.

He vaguely heard exclamations from Leina, Onyxia, and the others.

Even more, the voices of Yu Feifei, Xu Jiayi, and others could be heard in their ears.

Then, he couldn't feel anything anymore.

Consciousness was plunged into darkness.

I don't know how much time has passed; it could be a few hours or a few days.

When Shen Xing opened his eyes again, he found that his consciousness had left the Land of Mist and returned to his home.

It wasn't in the living room, but back in my own room.

A pristine white ceiling came into view, and the room was dimly lit with the curtains drawn.

In addition, he felt an extreme weakness in his body, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand.

"What's going on...? How did I... end up back in my room...?"

Shen Xing supported himself with his hands, struggling to get up.

At that moment, he felt a sharp pain in his brain!

"Hiss!"

Shen Xing cried out in pain, clutching his head with both hands, feeling as if his brain was being pricked with needles.

It took several minutes for the symptoms to gradually subside.

"Huff... huff..."

At that moment, he was curled up in a ball, and the sweat on his body had soaked the sheets.

"Is this... the aftereffect of failing the trial...?"

Shen Xing's face was pale, and he murmured, "This is too serious. I feel like I'm about to be ruined."

Half an hour later, he tried to get out of bed again.

This time, he finally succeeded.

Although still very weak, at least I've regained some strength.

Shen Xing leaned against the headboard, gazing at the empty room.

Through the gap in the curtains, a faint red stain could be seen on the glass of the French windows.

It looked like something had been spilled on it.

Before he could look any further, the door was pushed open.

Several familiar figures walked in one after another.

They all had furrowed brows and their faces were filled with deep sorrow.

When they saw the figure leaning against the bed, they froze on the spot, then a look of wild joy appeared on their faces!

"Holy crap, Shen Xing, you're finally awake!" Qin Lang excitedly pounced on him.

Behind him, three beautiful women of different figures were also overjoyed and surrounded him.

"That's great... Shen Xing is finally awake... Waaah..." Xia Wanyin said happily, but her shoulders were trembling uncontrollably.

"I told you, he'd be alright." Xu Jiayi wiped away her tears, a happy smile on her face.

"Yes," Yu Feifei nodded vigorously, "He knows we're all waiting for him, how could he possibly keep sleeping?"

As the three beauties spoke, their eyes involuntarily reddened.

Hearing this, Shen Xing became even more confused. "What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm finally awake?"

"Didn't we just meet this afternoon? Why do you seem to have slept for ages?"

Everyone was somewhat taken aback by these questions.

They exchanged a glance, seemingly understanding something, and a bitter smile appeared on their faces.

Seeing everyone's strange reactions, Shen Xing instinctively realized that something was wrong.

"What exactly happened?" he pressed.

They kept their heads down, seemingly unsure how to begin.

Under Shen Xing's persistent questioning, Qin Lang sighed and slowly said, "You were unconscious; you slept for many days."

"Shortly after I got home that day, Jiayi suddenly called me and said that you were convulsing on the sofa, like you were possessed."

"I rushed over and found you unconscious, your face deathly pale."

"We were all terrified and immediately called Director Zhang Yu."

"He brought Senior Jiang Rong and Elder Wang with him."

"After Director Zhang's examination, it was found that you only suffered a severe head injury, but there were no fatal injuries."

"Unfortunately, the chief said you might be in a coma for a long time, and could even become a vegetable."

"We've been so worried these past few days. Jiayi and Feifei have been taking care of you the whole time."

"Thankfully, you've finally woken up."

Qin Lang sighed, a relieved smile appearing on his face.

At this moment, Shen Xing finally understood the whole story, but he was still confused.

All he remembered was that he had participated in a Master Trial, and then he was killed by an invisible monster during the trial, and the system declared his mission a failure.

But he had no recollection of what happened after that.

My mind was still in a state of chaos, accompanied by throbbing pains, and even my thoughts were in disarray.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered something Qin Lang had said.

"I was unconscious for many days? How long exactly!?"

Upon hearing this question, Qin Lang hesitated for a moment before slowly replying, "One week..."

"A week!" Shen Xing's eyes widened immediately. "I was unconscious... for a week!?"

"What about the Myriad Worlds Arena?"

You should know that when I took the Master Trial, there were only five days left before the Myriad Worlds Arena!

Does this mean I missed that game?!

No one spoke; they all lowered their heads in silence, and this reaction said it all.

Shen Xing stared blankly at them, then subconsciously asked, "So... which world won in the end?"

Silence, still silence.

None of the four seemed to know how to answer, and a faint sadness appeared on their faces.

"We... lost?" Shen Xing murmured.

"Yes," Qin Lang sighed, "The number of powerful individuals in the two worlds differs greatly; they have far more Grandmaster Rank experts than we do."

Even Senior Li Yuan was completely suppressed by the Sand Lord; Blue Star suffered a utter defeat.

Shen Xing still found it hard to believe as she listened to these words.
