Chapter 286 The Second Stage, with Heavy Casualties
A blue beam of light quickly enveloped a martial artist.
The martial artist's eyes showed fear. He was not good at light footwork and his movement skills were average. His chances of surviving after entering the middle trial room were slim.
The man suddenly darted to the side, shouting, "Don't choose me, choose someone else!"
A blue beam of light followed the man, and a piercing alarm sounded in the hall.
Whenever the blue beam of light approaches this person, the person will dodge to the side.
Lin Feng has already reminded me once; he has no obligation to remind me again.
Everyone else stared at this person, wondering if, as Lin Feng had said, dodging the beam of light would result in death.
Five seconds later.
Whoosh! A blue beam of light shot down from the ceiling of the hall, struck the man's head, passed through his body, and landed on the ground.
The man froze, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.
Everyone else gasped in shock; violating the rules of the ruins meant there was virtually no chance of survival.
The blue beam of light moved toward another martial artist.
Judging from this person's attire, he is also from the Ji family of Tianjian Peak, and should be related to Ji Yunyi.
Having learned from the previous mistake, this Ji family warrior dared not challenge the rules of the ruins again.
He followed the blue beam of light, chose a longsword, and entered the trial room in the middle of the hall.
They had the experience that the previous martial artist had gained at the cost of his life.
Everyone knows that you have to use your weapon to shatter the blue orb to pass the level.
Otherwise, allowing the blue orbs to accumulate will only lead to certain death.
As soon as the blue orb appeared, the martial artist began slashing with his longsword.
Bang! A blue orb of light was struck by the longsword and shattered into a shower of blue light.
The warrior saw a glimmer of hope for clearing the level, and he dodged while slashing at the blue orbs of light with his sword.
This person was quite skilled; he quickly endured the twenty seconds.
Twenty seconds later, more and more blue orbs of light were generated.
The man wielded his longsword with incredible speed and precision, each strike shattering a ball of light, causing blue light to flash continuously throughout the trial room.
At 28 seconds, he was grazed on the back by a ball of light, leaving his back charred.
He didn't even blink, continuing to dodge and slash.
At the 29th second, a ball of light grazed his thigh, scorching a large area of muscle and almost burning down to the bone.
At the 30-second mark, a ball of light struck his left wrist, and his hand flew off.
Lin Feng, who had been observing the trial room, noticed that when the countdown reached 30 seconds, the color of the countdown text changed from red to green.
At this moment, the person in the trial room was clearly unable to hold on any longer, shouting and wildly waving his longsword.
Ahhh, he was hit by more than a dozen blue orbs of light and thought he was going to die, but nothing happened.
The blue orb of light in the trial room quickly disappeared.
The man was covered in cold sweat, his chest heaving rapidly, and his eyes darted around, bewildered as to what had happened.
Then a line of text appeared on the wall: Passing grade, no reward.
Then the glass door to the trial room opened.
Although the person couldn't read, they knew they were safe.
He didn't want to stay in this trial room for another second, fearing that another blue orb of light would shoot at him.
He staggered out of the trial room, threw his longsword on the weapon rack, stood beside Lin Feng and the others, and took out healing medicine to begin treating his injuries.
Although he passed the test, he felt no joy whatsoever.
In theory, each level in the ruins is more difficult than the last.
He lost his left hand and suffered a severe thigh injury, so he definitely won't make it to the next stage and probably won't live much longer.
Lin Feng realized that although the countdown was sixty seconds, he would be safe once he survived the remaining thirty seconds.
After thirty seconds, these blue orbs lost their destructive power and would not cause injury even if they hit you.
Why set the countdown to sixty seconds?
The remaining warriors entered the trial room one after another.
Two martial artists, lacking sufficient strength, were struck in vital areas by the blue orb in the trial room before they could survive for more than thirty seconds.
One martial artist survived for thirty seconds, but his right leg was pierced by the blue orb of light, rendering it completely useless.
Another martial artist also survived for thirty seconds, losing an arm and a leg, but ultimately he survived.
A martial artist survived thirty-five seconds unscathed.
After this person cleared the level, a circular platform the size of a table rose up in the trial room.
A black arm guard was placed on the platform.
The man happily put on the arm guard on his right arm.
The rewards you receive from the ruins are definitely extraordinary.
The man used his longsword to make two slashes on the arm guard, but not a single scratch was left.
The man walked out of the trial room, satisfied.
Now only Lin Feng and Ji Yunyi have not participated in the trial.
Lin Feng discovered the pattern: surviving for thirty seconds was only enough to stay alive; to receive the reward, he had to survive for much longer.
The blue beam of light selected Ji Yunyi.
Ji Yunyi appeared quite relaxed. He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Feng and said, "Brother Lin, I'll go in first."
Lin Feng nodded. "Take care, Junior Brother Ji."
Ji Yunyi also chose a longsword. After entering the trial room, he easily survived for thirty seconds and was hit by the blue light ball only after forty seconds.
It's the best performing one so far.
Although he only lasted five seconds longer than the other martial artist, his strength far surpassed that of the other martial artist.
Because after thirty seconds, the difficulty increases exponentially with each additional second.
A circular platform appeared in the trial room, on which were placed five square objects, each the size of a quail egg, that were emitting a blue light.
Ji Yunyi also didn't know what this thing was for, but he figured it must be a treasure.
He tucked the blue cube into his pocket and walked out of the trial room.
Lin Feng was the last to go on stage.
He walked to the weapon rack, activated the Ten Directions Limitless Technique, and ten arms appeared on his back.
Lin Feng reached out and took twelve weapons from the weapon rack.
He had two hands and ten arms imbued with true qi, each arm holding a weapon.
The other martial artists were all stunned by Lin Feng's appearance.
"Isn't this the innate true skill that was rewarded in the previous level?"
How did he...how did he cultivate this innate true skill to its perfect state?
"That's impossible. I've never seen him practice. How did he do that?"
"Could it be that he originally possessed this innate true skill?"
"impossible!"
Ji Yunyi and the other martial artist who had also passed the level without taking any damage exchanged a glance, both of them revealing a deep sense of apprehension.
Mr. Hong's lineage has a shallow foundation; they don't believe Lin Feng has ever learned this martial art before, and they've never seen him use it.
This martial art must have been learned by Lin Feng and the others after the previous level was completed.
Why did he learn this innate true skill after only one look, when none of us had mastered it?
A single innate skill is enough for a martial artist to practice for decades, so how did he manage to master it to perfection in such a short time?
This is incredible.
Lin Feng is simply a prodigy among prodigies.
Lin Feng has already revealed enough of his strength; he doesn't care about revealing a little more.
He already planned to break through to the Innate Realm within the ruins.
Having broken through to the innate level with his own inherent strength, who in this world can do anything to him?
Lin Feng used the Ten Directions Limitless Skill naturally to achieve better results and receive better rewards.
This level clearly rewards the player who survives the longest; if you can last sixty seconds, you're guaranteed the final reward.
The ability to ride the clouds and mist is better suited for long-distance, rapid movement, but it doesn't offer much room for maneuver in the trial room.
Without the Ten Directions Limitless Skill, Lin Feng was not confident he could last sixty seconds.
Lin Feng entered the trial room, holding twelve weapons.
Even before the level started, Lin Feng was already thinking about the rewards.
I wonder what the reward will be after clearing the level. Will I get some more blue cubes?
