44: Don't be too proud, we will meet again one day!
Outside.
Above the capital city.
Two figures stood outside the Tower.
Xu Tongjun, the actual controller of the Tower of Trials, was diligently working to repair the rules within the Tower.
He aimed to restore it to normal as quickly as possible.
Then, rescue the students.
Time passed, minute by minute.
Suddenly.
The black-red light spots on the surface of the Tower of Trials dimmed considerably.
Xu Tongjun even let out a soft exclamation of surprise!
He looked very astonished.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yi asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Xu Tongjun said, “I don’t know why, but the resistance and interference from the Abyssal power within the Tower suddenly weakened significantly.”
Dongfang Yi’s expression instantly turned grim.
He said in a low voice, “Could it be that all the examinees inside have been killed?”
Xu Tongjun shook his head, carefully sensing the life force within the Tower.
“No, I can feel that the life force of those examinees has not weakened!”
“It should be that the consciousness Clone of the Abyssal Demon that invaded suffered damage!”
“That’s why its resistance weakened!”
Dongfang Yi frowned in deep thought.
Even if it was just a consciousness Clone of an Abyssal Demon, it was not something these Professionals, who were only level 16 or 17, could deal with.
Moreover, the rules of the Ancient Battlefield Space had been altered by the Demon.
Everything was under the Demon’s control.
There was no way for anyone else to enter.
So, under these circumstances.
Who could have harmed that Abyssal Demon?
That they could hold on for half an hour and escape from the Demon’s clutches was already extremely fortunate.
As for harming the Abyssal Demon.
Dongfang Yi simply didn't believe such a possibility existed!
Within the Ancient Battlefield Space.
As the black shadow fell within it.
The scarlet giant eye above suddenly closed.
The originally red sky also faded considerably.
Song Ming walked towards the black shadow that had fallen to the ground.
Along the way, he casually cast a Holy Shield Aura on himself.
To prevent the Demon from having any further tricks.
“Cough, cough, human, don’t celebrate too early!”
“Do you really think this King has no way to deal with you?”
The black shadow struggled to stand up.
Allowing Song Ming to clearly see its appearance.
It looked very similar to the Demons in Demon City.
All had horns on their heads and exposed fangs.
Its face was filled with malevolence towards Song Ming.
“Oh? I’m quite curious, what other tricks do you have!”
As soon as Song Ming finished speaking.
He instantly cast a Divine Speed Aura on himself.
In the blink of an eye.
He appeared before the black shadow and then launched a flying kick.
“Despicable!”
The black shadow was both shocked and enraged.
It quickly mobilized its last shred of power.
Streams of black mud instantly surged from beneath it, completely enveloping it.
With a bang.
Song Ming’s kick landed on the black mud, failing to hit the black shadow.
Seeing this.
He didn’t linger in combat.
He turned and widened the distance again.
Looking back at the large mass of black mud gathered by the black shadow.
It was continuously expanding and growing larger.
Eventually, it formed a Unicorn Orc Warrior, six meters tall.
And the black shadow was protected inside.
Unless the body of this Orc Warrior could be broken.
Otherwise, the black shadow, or rather, the Demon’s main body here.
Could still survive.
Song Ming then used an Appraisal Technique.
[Abyss-Enhanced Modified Orc Warrior, Level 19]
An extremely enhanced individual.
Its attributes would likely be incredibly abnormal.
However, what good was high defense?
A single Seal Aura would teach it a lesson.
With true damage as high as seventy thousand per second.
And a control duration of a full 620 seconds.
No matter how formidable, it could be controlled to death!
The black shadow controlled this strongest Abyssal modified monster, wielding a three-meter-long greatsword.
And charged towards Song Ming.
Even if the mission ultimately failed.
This human before it must die.
Because it truly felt danger from this human!
However, how could Song Ming allow it to get close?
He immediately threw out a Seal Aura.
The six-meter-tall Unicorn Orc Warrior instantly froze in place, unable to move an inch.
At the same time.
Damage numbers continuously floated up from its head.
- 69020
- 69150
......
The Unicorn Orc’s body only lasted for less than two seconds.
Before completely disintegrating.
A black shadow rolled out from within.
As if knowing its death was imminent, the Demon black shadow instead calmed down.
After all, what was here was just a consciousness Clone of it.
It stared coldly at Song Ming.
“Human, your name is Song Ming, isn’t it!”
“This King will remember you!”
“Don’t get too smug, one day we will meet again!”
Song Ming approached expressionlessly.
He didn’t take the Demon’s threat to heart at all.
Then, he stomped on the black shadow’s head, crushing it!
Its entire body also turned into a puff of smoke, dissipating into the air.
With the death of the Demon’s consciousness body.
The entire Ancient Battlefield Space returned to normal.
Everyone looked at Song Ming with worshipful eyes.
“As expected of the first place, he’s too amazing!”
“I’ve decided, Brother Ming is my idol from now on!”
“If it weren’t for him, we’d all be dead, so I… I’ve decided to offer myself to repay his life-saving grace!”
“Bah, you’re just lusting after Song Ming’s body, you’re despicable!”
People spoke in low voices, their tone filled with admiration and worship for Song Ming.
Outside the Tower of Trials.
The black-red light spots on the Tower’s body completely vanished.
Xu Tongjun withdrew his hand and said to Dongfang Yi, who was beside him, “The Abyssal consciousness body has been completely annihilated!”
“The space within the Tower has returned to normal!”
As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Dongfang Yi also showed a surprised expression upon hearing this.
At his status and Realm, it was difficult for anything to surprise him anymore.
He hadn’t expected this matter today to be so unexpected!
“Can we find out who did it?”
Xu Tongjun pondered for a moment, “I’ll try to see if I can retrace what happened inside the Tower just now!”
“Good, there’s no rush for this, let’s first safely transfer the examinees out!”
Dongfang Yi immediately spoke up.
Xu Tongjun nodded.
Within the Ancient Battlefield Space.
The sky was no longer blood-red.
The earth had also returned to its original appearance.
The entire Ancient Battlefield Space had returned to normal.
Lu Hao’s face was still a little pale, clearly not having fully recovered.
Seeing this, he tentatively asked, “Boss, are we safe?”
Song Ming nodded.
“Don’t worry, it’s all over now!”
Only then did Lu Hao let out a long breath.
Wang Heng and An Ran were also the same, finally relieved.
Surviving a catastrophe.
All the examinees had excited expressions on their faces.
Thankfully, Song Ming was there; they were able to survive.
Otherwise, with their strength, they would have been slaughtered by those Unicorn Orcs in less than ten minutes.
At this moment.
God Yi’s voice sounded again.
“The Abyssal power has been eliminated, examinees, you are now safe!”
“Now we will send you out of the Tower of Trials, and the results will be announced shortly!”
Beams of white light descended.
All the examinees were teleported out of the Tower of Trials.
On the plaza outside the Tower.
All the examinees waited there, not a single one leaving.
They were all waiting for the final results to appear.
The examiner’s voice also sounded at this time.
“All examinees, please wait here; the final results ranking will be announced next!”
Song Ming also stood silently in place, waiting.
Feeling a bit bored, he casually opened his panel, wanting to add points to his skills.
Then he saw the ‘Job Transfer Quest’ column.
The numbers after the quest requirements had actually changed!
