182: Angry Jiang Ziqing!

The fifth level of the Endless Trial Instance,

Swish!!

A streak of red light flashed through the void.

Jiang Ziqing swung her greatsword, and a condensed dark red light blade slashed towards the One-Eyed Giant King before her.

Clang!!

A clear clang!

The dark red light blade sliced into the One-Eyed Giant King's skin, surprisingly emitting a clear clang like metal striking metal.

Ultimately—

With a soft "puchi" sound, the dark red light blade barely cut through the One-Eyed Giant King's skin, leaving a wound about three to four centimeters deep.

However, before any blood could flow out, the One-Eyed Giant King's wound healed completely.

Roar!!!

The One-Eyed Giant King let out an angry roar towards the sky and slammed a palm burning with flames towards Jiang Ziqing.

Jiang Ziqing's figure continuously shifted, instantly putting over twenty meters of distance between them.

Boom!!

The One-Eyed Giant King slammed his palm onto the ground, instantly causing the earth to crack and countless shattered stones to fly everywhere.

"This monster possesses the bloodline of a Giant King, giving him extremely powerful defense and recovery abilities." Mu Bai stared at the One-Eyed Giant King, his eyes flickering with a faint blue light.

[Giant King Bloodline]: C-grade talent, One-Eyed Giant King's strength and Constitution index ×3, life recovery power ×300%.

"Do you only know how to state the obvious?"

Jiang Ziqing couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

I just slashed him with my sword, and it only broke a little skin.

How could I not know he has extremely powerful defense and life recovery abilities?

Jiang Ziqing said exasperatedly, "Give me some useful information."

"Attack his single eye and neck, those two positions are his weaknesses."

Mu Bai shouted loudly while quickly running to the right.

Jiang Ziqing looked up and saw the One-Eyed Giant King facing them, his single eye erupting with a strong red light.

From this red light, Jiang Ziqing felt an extremely dangerous fluctuation.

By this time, Mu Bai had already run dozens of meters away.

This guy didn't even bother to warn her before running away.

"This guy!" Jiang Ziqing's face turned ashen, and it felt like ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through her heart.

Sizzle!!!!!

A highly destructive red light ray shot out from the One-Eyed Giant King's single eye. Wherever the ray passed, space twisted, and the air instantly evaporated, making a "sizzling" sound.

Swoosh!! Swoosh!!

Jiang Ziqing quickly dodged to the side, narrowly brushing past the destructive ray. The red light even shone on her face.

Boom!!!!

"Mu Bai, you ×××××!" Jiang Ziqing couldn't help but curse Mu Bai ten thousand times in her heart.

At the same time—

Mu Bai had already circled behind the One-Eyed Giant King,

Twang!!

The bowstring was pulled to its limit, and a green light arrow condensed at his fingertip. The endless wind currents around him converged wildly, stirring up a Berserk wind vortex on the spot.

[Windfall · Sky-Breaking Arrow]

Whoosh!!

In an instant, the green light arrow shot through the air, grew rapidly against the wind, and transformed into a massive arrow several meters long in the blink of an eye.

The arrow body was wrapped in a destructive aura, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, and charged directly towards the One-Eyed Giant King's neck with an unstoppable momentum.

The next moment—

Puchi!!

The green light arrow plunged into the One-Eyed Giant King's neck like a hot knife cutting through butter, and a large amount of scalding blood splattered out.

"It hit!" Mu Bai was delighted.

However, before he could be happy for long, the wound on the back of the One-Eyed Giant King's neck healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Compared to his massive body, the wound caused by the green light arrow was simply negligible.

"Damn it!"

The One-Eyed Giant King had high defense, thick health, and strong recovery. It took Jiang Ziqing and the others nearly two hours of grinding to finally kill him.

[Breaking Seed Stage · Trial Ranking]

First Place: Level 11, Blood Wolf Squad (Kyoto)

Second Place: Level 10, Yu Xuan Team (Magic Martial Arts Academy)

...

Sixty-ninth Place: Level 5, Jiang He Team (Magic Martial Arts Academy)

...

...

"Huff... huff... huff..."

The few of them were panting heavily. They looked at the Trial List, sixty-ninth place.

Meanwhile, the first place team had already reached Level 11.

"We made it into the top hundred!" Xu Siya said happily.

Jiang Ziqing shook her head, "But the top five are still out of reach."

"Ah, I really want to go to the Ancient God Graveyard Space. I heard that killing the monsters inside can grant soul energy."

Xu Siya also sighed, "Those third-year veterans have suppressed their cultivation realm at the Breaking Seed Stage, not breaking through, just for this moment. Their skills are at least Tier 3 or above, there's no way we can compete with them."

Wu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "If... if we could invite Ye Ze, perhaps we'd have a chance."

After the last trip to the Soggett Redwood Forest, Wu Chen was completely convinced by Ye Ze and had privately apologized to him.

"Ye Ze..."

Jiang Ziqing shook her head,

"I have some insider information. Ye Ze possesses an a-rank mission token that can only be activated within the Ancient God Graveyard Space."

Mu Bai chimed in, "Yeah, teams wanting to invite him to join now are probably lining up outside the academy gate, including the top five teams. How could he possibly team up with us?"

He added, "It's not that he looks down on us, but with his a-rank mission token, he can secure a spot to enter the Ancient God Graveyard. Teaming up with us would be a complete waste."

Jiang Ziqing remained silent, her gaze fixed quietly on the fifth place spot on the Trial Ranking.

Fifth Place: Level 9, Hunter Falcon Team (Xiawu Academy)

...

Xiamen-Kyoto Base City, Xiawu Academy.

"Damn it, the True Origin Team got ahead of us." Hunter Falcon Team Captain Zhan Peng's gaze was tightly locked on the fourth place spot on the Trial Ranking.

Fourth Place: Level 10, True Origin Team (Magic Martial Arts Academy)

"How are the secret treasures you're collecting coming along?" Zhan Peng asked, looking at his teammates beside him.

The tenth level of the Endless Trial Instance is guarded by a lord-level Undead monster.

He not only has extremely powerful attributes but also possesses the ability to continuously summon an Undead Army.

The Hunter Falcon Team had been stuck here for half a day. To clear the level quickly, Zhan Peng asked a friend to help collect some secret treasures that could counter the attributes of Undead monsters.

"Yes, all the secret treasures you specified have been collected. Furthermore, I unexpectedly obtained another secret treasure. I believe you'll definitely thank me for it," the man beside him said with a mysterious smile.

"What is it?" Zhan Peng asked impatiently.

The man flipped his palm, and a box emitting a soft white light quietly appeared in his palm. The light flowed, as if containing endless sacred power.

[Sacred Radiance · Soul Purifying Box]

Category: Tier 4 Secret Treasure

Secret Treasure Effect 1: [Light of Soul Purification]: Upon activation, releases intense sacred light, dealing continuous purification damage to Undead creatures within range and weakening their attributes by 20% for 10 seconds.

Secret Treasure Effect 2: [Undead Imprisonment]: Can temporarily seal an Undead creature within the box, preventing it from acting or summoning reinforcements for 15 seconds.

Secret Treasure Effect 3: [Sacred Radiance Protection]: When facing Undead attacks, the holder gains a layer of sacred light shield, becoming immune to Undead-type negative effects and reflecting a portion of the damage.

------

"Light of Soul Purification!! Undead Imprisonment!!"

Zhan Peng was overjoyed, "With this secret treasure, we'll be able to clear the tenth level quickly."

The man continued, "This box is a bit expensive. If it's just for clearing the tenth level, wouldn't it be a bit of a loss?"

Zhan Peng shook his head, "Not a loss, not a loss at all. Undead monsters will appear in the later levels as well.

With this Sacred Light · Soul Purifying Box, we won't struggle as much when we encounter Undead monsters later."

Zhan Peng's eyes flickered with a deep and determined light, "As long as we can obtain a spot to enter the Ancient God Graveyard Space, no matter how much it costs or how much preparation is needed, it will be worth it."
