Su Bai knows magic skills?! The Heaven-Defying Demonic Palm!

Modu University.

Back Mountain Base.

Outside the Trial Room… After watching for about ten minutes, Great Emperor Long Chen nodded.

Then he turned around, looked at Long Zhenyu, and smiled:

“Little Long, this Emperor still has some matters to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first. You stay here and keep an eye on them, make sure no accidents happen.”

After speaking, with a thought, he instantly vanished from the spot.

Long Zhenyu heard him and respectfully replied:

“As the Great Emperor commands.”

After Great Emperor Long Chen left, he smiled and patted Su Xiaoya’s head, then refocused his gaze on the light screen floating in mid-air.

On the light screen, the battle of the few people was still ongoing.

Long Zhenyu stared intently at the light screen, his eyes unmoving, afraid that some unexpected situation might occur during their battle.

Although trial participants in these Great Emperor-made Trial Rooms generally wouldn't face life-threatening danger, these few were all prodigies; who knew what unexpected situations they might create?

Let alone the Great Emperor personally giving instructions, even if the Great Emperor hadn't come… Long Zhenyu would still do his utmost to protect them!

As the principal of Modu University, safeguarding the students' safety… was his duty.

Moreover, Great Emperor Long Chen thought so highly of them; if any of them met with an accident… then his tenure as principal would be over!

Conversely, if any of them became an Emperor in the future… then Long Zhenyu, as their special training teacher… would forever be known as — the Emperor's Teacher!

Listen to that,

Emperor's! Teacher!

This sounded infinitely better than merely being the principal of Modu University!

...Trial Room No. 1.

Inside Trial Room No. 1, the battle grew increasingly fierce.

In just over ten minutes, Su Bai had already reached —

The Fifth Trial!

His opponent in this stage was a Great Emperor Level Expert of Rank 650!

As the trial deepened, he could clearly feel that the combat power and battle awareness of the great emperor phantom opposite him were gradually becoming more terrifying with each increasing stage.

In his perception, a Rank 500 great emperor phantom's combat power might only be equivalent to a Rank 650 Awakened One, but a Rank 550 great emperor phantom's combat power was directly comparable to a Rank 700 Saint Ascension Realm Awakened One!

An increase of 50 Ranks directly multiplied their overall combat power several times over!

Just at the third stage, that great emperor phantom was able to withstand several of his attacks, fighting him for several rounds without being defeated!

In fact, after being dealt a fatal blow by Su Bai once… it even triggered several lock-health skills consecutively!

It forcibly locked its health at 10%, while also being immune to all negative statuses!

It was at this moment that Su Bai finally understood —

It turned out that even a Great Emperor Level Expert, when at a low Realm, found it difficult to challenge other ordinary Awakened Ones across Ranks, but once a Great Emperor developed to the Middle Stage… tsk, at the same Realm, fighting a hundred would be no problem!

Simply put, the higher the Rank of a Great Emperor Level Expert, the greater the gap between them and ordinary Awakened Ones, until… they were invincible within the same Realm!

Su Bai had reason to believe —

The Rank 700 great emperor phantom in the sixth stage… its strength could contend with a Rank Nine ordinary Awakened One!

What the heck!

In his previous life, he had only reached Rank Eight at most… and now he had to fight a great emperor phantom close to Rank Nine!

And this trial had a total of ten great emperor phantoms!

The opponent in the sixth stage was already close to Rank Nine… then… the tenth stage… wouldn't it be at least a Quasi-Emperor?!

As he thought about it,

He suddenly felt that he might not be able to take first place… after all,

Xia Xue and Xia Qingyan's strength was not to be underestimated either!

— Both of them had eaten the Immortality Peach!

Rank Two and Rank Three Awakened Ones with millions of attribute points… not to mention seeing them, he had never even heard of such a thing before!

Therefore, Su Bai felt that their advantage was even greater.

Besides… their difficulty was only SSS-Rank, while Su Bai's… first SSS+-Rank, then adjusted to Divine-Grade!

It was simply too unfair!

Completely unjust!

But it didn't matter, at worst… he just wouldn't take that reward!

Giving it to Xia Xue or Xia Qingyan… was no different from giving it to him.

Just as Su Bai was lost in thought, the great emperor phantom opposite him suddenly swung the long sword in its hand, unleashing a golden Sword Qi towards him.

Seeing this, Su Bai quickly concentrated to deal with it.

He saw his figure lightly flicker, and he dodged the attack.

The great emperor phantom in this stage was not troublesome to deal with.

Although the buffs obtained when opening a new stage were random, meaning they could be either beneficial or detrimental.

And under the 30% probability influence of Divine-Grade difficulty, he had a greater chance of getting detrimental buffs, but every time he successfully challenged a great emperor phantom, the buff obtained after winning the challenge was definitely a beneficial one, and of the Advanced kind.

So, overall, his strength had also increased quite a bit.

As of now, the buffs on him were:

Attack Amplification: Attack power fluctuates between 95% and 120%!

Speed Boost: Movement speed +30%!

defense weakening: Dual defense -10%, damage taken +5%!

Attribute Amplification: Basic character attributes +20%!

Attack Speed Weakening: Character attack speed -10%!

Advanced Life Protection: Nullifies three fatal damages (0/3)!

Go to Hell: Damage taken +30%, damage dealt +15%

Final Damage Increase: Final damage dealt +20%!

Life Weakening: Health -10%, healing -20%!

A total of 9 buffs, 5 beneficial buffs, and 4 detrimental buffs.

Because he kept winning, there were still more beneficial buffs.

But it also showed how unfair the initial random buffs were!

He had now reached the fifth stage, and the initial buffs had been randomized five times, and the result… four of them were detrimental buffs!

After Su Bai dodged the phantom's attack, he retaliated with a sword strike.

critical hit! -8093569

Directlyreduceed nearly one-tenth of the phantom's health bar!

Now, the phantom's remaining health was only about 25%.

Not wanting to stop halfway, Su Bai suddenly put away his judgment of fate (sword name), quickly circulated the spiritual Qi within his body, and struck out with a palm towards the phantom… A demonic palm, black with a hint of gold, appeared out of thin air, aiming for the great emperor phantom's head, and with lightning speed… slammed down hard!

This was a skill from the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art —

Heaven-Defying Demonic Palm!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

critical hit! Fatal! Demonic Might! -46358964

As expected, the great emperor phantom was instantly killed by him!

Seeing the great emperor phantom slowly dissipate, Su Bai's mouth curved slightly upward.

Health lock?

Non-existent!

This skill ignored most health-locking abilities!

That's why it was called — Heaven-Defying!

It just consumed a lot and had a cooldown of several tens of minutes.

He smugly lifted his chin, and the System prompt sounded on time:

“~Ding, congratulations, you have successfully passed the fifth trial stage!”

“~Ding, congratulations, you have continuously cleared five trial stages!”

“~Ding, buff function upgraded!”

“~Ding, you will receive two top-tier beneficial buffs this time!”

“~Ding, congratulations, you have obtained — [Random Damage]: Any damage you deal will randomly double between 100% and 500%!”

“~Ding, congratulations, you have obtained — [Lethal Slow]: Any type of damage you deal to an opponent has a 50% chance to slow them by 50%, and a 20% chance to immobilize them for 5 seconds!”
