109: Lord of the rock wall

Xiao Gu Zi actually tried to deceive Old Song.

He was truly infuriated.

He puffed out his cheeks and glared, looking utterly bizarre.

Gu Li watched from the side, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

He let out a light chuckle.

It felt good; it was a relief that he wasn't acting smug today.

Otherwise, seeing him humbled would have been even more satisfying, but it was a shame.

After all, he was an elder, so some face needed to be saved, and Gu Li didn't want to be too aggressive.

He just needed to break Old Song's bad habit, so he wouldn't boast to him all the time.

At this moment, both were uncharacteristically silent, neither speaking.

Old Song, lacking the nerve to continue his tirade, couldn't help but wonder where this monster came from.

To possess such strength at only sixteen years old?

It was truly unbelievable.

He just stared silently at the ancient tower.

Beside him, many other Beastmasters who had come to challenge the Trial Tower were discussing animatedly.

The noise was immense; everyone was guessing which family's child could actually reach the eleventh floor.

Few people had reached the eleventh floor in recent years.

This showed its true value.

Below, another person had surprisingly just reached the eighth floor.

It was truly an eye-opener.

Given this situation, was there still a possibility of going further?

It made one quite expectant.

Beneath Gu Li's calm facade, he also hoped Lin Shu could advance further.

If he could clear the Trial Tower, that would be even more incredible... Lin Shu continued his unstoppable progress, clearing the eleventh floor in a few minutes and moving on to the next stage.

The scene before him shifted and changed again, and in an instant, Lin Shu felt as if he was burdened by heavy shackles.

As far as the eye could see, rolling yellow sand billowed and drifted, and strong winds howled, as if to devour everything.

In the distance, the sky was a hazy yellow, merging with the golden sandy ground.

The scorching sun shone down mercilessly, making the air seem to burn, and waves of hot air rolled in.

Was this heavy pressure caused by the environment?

It made Lin Shu gasp for breath, his back feeling as if a giant rock was pressing down, trying to bend him.

If not for the qualities fed back by Black Night Saturn, he would probably have been instantly crushed just by entering this layer.

Fortunately, this level of pressure was still within the acceptable range.

If the pressure were too great, there would be no way to fight; the sheer weight alone would be enough to defeat them.

In such an environment, apart from Saturn, both Lin Shu and his Beast felt uncomfortable.

Black Night frowned slightly; such a scene greatly affected his performance.

Ziyu trembled all over, her four legs constantly shaking, yet she gritted her teeth and persevered, with no thought of giving up.

Lin Shu had intended to recall her into his space, but she resisted.

At this moment, ripples appeared in the space ahead, followed by the emergence of two figures.

Their forms were tall and muscular, like small mountains, covered in cracked stones.

Their heads resembled large rocks, their facial features vaguely discernible, with two deep vortices where their eyes should be.

They gleamed with captivating light.

Their mouths were wide open, revealing not teeth, but rows of sharp stone ridges, chilling to behold.

As they took steps, the earth trembled, and clouds of Dust rose into the air.

Lin Shu's expression was serious, clearly indicating some pressure, and he glanced sideways.

【Name】: Rock Wall Mountain Master

【Level】: Lv35 (0/350)

【Level Cap】: Lv89

【Status】: Berserk

【Quality】: Perfect

【Attribute】: Earth

【Talent】: None

【Skills】: Primary — Rock Skin (Passive) - Proficient (126/200) 丶 Dust - Proficient (66/200)... Intermediate — Mudslide Rush - Perfect (42/100) 丶 Earth Rock Armor - Perfect (32/100) 丶 Charged Ram - Perfect (22/100)

Advanced — Crystal Cone Impact - Mastery (33/160) 丶 Stone Quake - Mastery (22/160) 丶 Sandstorm - Mastery (15/160)

There were actually two Beasts with such exaggerated strength.

No wonder no Beastmaster had cleared the twelfth floor in recent years.

With such abnormal conditions, it was as if they were afraid of people passing the level.

Even some who had cultivated for three years in high school might not be able to clear it.

After all, even the special recruitment requirements for the five top universities only demanded the eleventh floor.

This was clearly evident.

But this was also good; what was the point of a crushing victory?

While his thoughts drifted, Black Night and Saturn had already engaged them in battle.

Against their tall figures, it looked somewhat strange, like an adult fighting a child.

"Roar!"

Surging Battle Qi spread out, directly targeting the two Rock Wall Mountain Masters.

The result was as expected: they instantly stiffened, became sluggish, and dazed.

At this moment, Black Night and Saturn began their unbridled assault.

Slices of bright Blade Qi, like rippling moonlight, flew like lightning.

They directly entered the bodies of the Rock Wall Mountain Masters.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several dull thuds instantly exploded.

Black Night's already instinctive Blade Qi Strike, coupled with the Golden Principle attack it carried, only just managed to shatter their defensive barrier.

In addition, several large stones on their bodies were shattered, revealing a bit of red light, like a crystalline core.

This showed how strong their defense was; even Saturn was not as good as them.

Saturn's fist-sized blows, like raindrops falling on their bodies, left them unharmed, only barely shattering a few broken stones on their lower bodies.

His offensive power was somewhat lacking; in this battle, Black Night was still the main force.

Only he could truly harm them.

Lin Shu stared at the red, crystal-like gap.

An idea formed in his mind; this must be their weakness.

Otherwise, with such defense, a war of attrition alone would be enough to wear down most Beasts.

"Black Night, Saturn, attack the red crystal on his chest!"

"That is their core weakness."

Lin Shu shouted loudly, and they naturally heard him.

At this point, the deterrent effect of Battle Qi Release had already worn off.

The two Rock Wall Mountain Masters pounded their chests and stomped their feet, their faces filled with resentment, dense earth elements coiling around their entire bodies.

Sand and stones flew all around, clearly indicating they were about to use a skill.

Black Night and Saturn were naturally not fools; they had long since fled.

They waited for their Battle Qi to recover, reserving it for the finishing blow.

Instantly, strong winds howled, sweeping up sand and stones across the sky, forming two giant vortices.

The sand and stones, like raging dragons, churned in the air, blotting out the sky.

Fine sand particles spun at an astonishing speed, emitting a sharp whistle, scraping against everything around them.

Huge stones collided in the storm, erupting in dazzling Sparks, forming two earthy yellow tornadoes that swept away everything in their path.

This was the Sandstorm!

The howling tornadoes rapidly chased Saturn and Black Night.

The Rock Wall Mountain Masters raised their arms, directing and controlling their movement.

Black Night soared into the air, moving at a terrifying speed, and in the howling wind, he vanished from the area in an instant.

Although there was gravity impeding him, his speed did not slow down much.

Saturn, however, did not have it so easy to dodge.

His steps were heavy, as if filled with lead, making it difficult to move.

As the storm drew closer, Saturn's circular barrier expanded around him, and he quickly raised his arms, tightly clasping them in front of his body.

He prepared to receive the incoming attack.

Lin Shu's Ziyu flickered as he watched the howling earthy yellow storm.

With such power, could Saturn withstand it?
