197: Chapter 197 Entering the Trial of Purgatory
Li Sisi: "That move from Ren Xiaoxiao of the Super Ability Academy won't be that easy to deal with."
With so many star-glow crystals at stake, the two of them naturally had to keep a close eye on every single move.
Xiao Yue finally remembered. "No wonder it looked so familiar. Even if she can't win, her chances of victory in the end have increased significantly."
"Don't panic. What if we lose? We only put up ten billion top-grade star-glow crystals," Li Sisi said, putting on a tough front.
In reality, having two trillion in hand was already considered an astronomical price.
Duel Arena Office.
"A fellow who is more of a hindrance than a help," Eagle Head said, flying into a furious rage.
Horse Head: "This human is truly extraordinary. Could he really pass the Hell Trial?"
"Brother Horse, what kind of talk is that? It's just a lowly human, no need to take it to heart," Sheep-head said with an air of indifference.
Wolf Head swallowed hard and pulled up the data on Xiao Yao and the Little Demon Fox Emperor, speaking as if he didn't take the matter seriously.
"Look at the data, and you'll understand exactly where this lowly human came from."
"It's Sister Jiu from the Super Ability Academy, and that elf girl... her strength seems to rival Sister Jiu's." Eagle Head was now utterly shocked.
Horse Head instantly began to tremble. "Super Ability Academy... how could he be from the Super Ability Academy? That's absolutely impossible."
"Nothing is impossible. Aren't Zero and that group of freaks all humans?" Sheep-head said earnestly.
Wolf Head thought for a moment and said, "No matter who it is, as long as they pass the Hell Trial, it's fine. As for these energy crystals, they are nothing more than external possessions."
"Big Brother, this... I'm afraid this isn't right!" Eagle Head was the first to voice his disagreement.
After nearly thirty years of operation and hard work, they were just going to give up now?
Who could possibly accept that?
Wolf Head said domineeringly, "Don't forget your status. I'm the one in charge of this Duel Arena."
After saying that, he left aggressively.
"This... what exactly does Big Brother want to do?" Horse Head looked completely bewildered.
With such massive profits, he was clearly unwilling to give up.
"No matter what Big Brother wants to do, whether the Duel Arena can be saved depends entirely on this battle." Sheep-head saw through it.
After saying that, he left.
Eagle Head: "Brother Sheep is right. Although Big Brother has made his decision, it's not certain who will be the last one standing."
This was undoubtedly nonsense. If Mu Cheng lost, he would have nothing and the Duel Arena would naturally be saved.
If he won, the Duel Arena would cease to exist. Saying these things... couldn't change anything at all, so Wolf Head's plan...
Would have no impact whatsoever...
The Duel Arena.
"Dammit, I was played by those four old fogies," the Angel Man said, fuming with rage.
If not for the incomplete information, he definitely wouldn't have fallen for Mu Cheng's trick.
"It seems there's internal conflict; otherwise, they never would have given me such an opening," Mu Cheng thought, naturally considering this point.
He still couldn't figure out what the reason was.
Despite such an important duel, they didn't seem to care at all. If the Angel Man knew...
That the Little Demon Fox Emperor was from the Super Ability Academy, this opportunity... probably wouldn't have existed at all.
"Is this all you've got? Why don't you just surrender?" Mu Cheng suddenly spoke up mockingly.
Mockery aside, he remained incredibly serious, constantly using the black gold spear in his hand to completely suppress the Angel Man.
He left him with no room to counter... only able to keep dodging.
In the end, the Angel Man had no choice but to minimize the damage, letting the black gold spear pierce his right arm.
Hot black blood flowed out incessantly.
"Very well, you have thoroughly enraged me. Next, I will make you pay a thousand, no, ten thousand times over." After the Angel Man briefly treated his wound with a piece of cloth,
He suddenly seemed like a different person, his eyes filled with nothing but rage.
"This guy is indeed not simple." Mu Cheng didn't dare to be careless and was extremely cautious.
As the Angel Man moved, he charged at Mu Cheng with his bare hands.
His speed was incredible, and his power left Mu Cheng in a dilemma, completely unable to find a chance to strike back.
Even the incredibly hard black gold spear was snapped by the Angel Man's bare hands.
Fortunately, Mu Cheng wasn't stupid. He didn't choose to meet force with force, but instead grabbed a black shield to defend himself.
"Master, staying on the defensive like this is too passive." Xiao Yao watched with great anxiety.
The Little Demon Fox Emperor, on the other hand, didn't panic at all. "Offense is often the best defense, but it is also the most lethal."
"True. Although Master is on the defensive now, once he catches an opportunity, he'll surely settle the match in a short time," Xiao Yao said, observing intently.
Mu Cheng had faced many such situations, so he handled it very calmly...
"What? Where's that courage from before? Ants will always be ants." The Angel Man continued his frantic assault.
As expected, something went wrong. Generally speaking, villains die because they talk too much, and this was indeed the case.
Mu Cheng finally seized an opportunity to strike with King Kais Fist, instantly turning the tide and unleashing a frantic barrage of blows on the Angel Man.
In the end, he beat him to the ground until he could no longer move, completely losing his ability to act.
"It's over just like that?" the Little Demon Fox Emperor asked with a look of shock.
Xiao Yao: "Mhm, it's over."
Worlds Number One Tower.
"Wow! Madam, did he win?" Xiao Yue watched with excitement, unable to believe it for a long time.
Li Sisi: "Of course it's true. Hurry and invite them over."
"Mhm, Xiao Yue will go arrange it right away." Xiao Yue didn't hesitate and immediately left the office.
On the other side.
"Only rank thirty, that was easy as pie," Mu Cheng said triumphantly.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Look at you. There's still the Purgatory Trial next. Can't you be a bit more serious?"
"Hehe, Master is just like that. Sister Jiu, don't take it to heart," Xiao Yao said quite happily.
Mu Cheng: "What are we doing next? The Purgatory Trial doesn't start for another three days."
"Naturally, we go to the Worlds Number One Tower to prepare."
Just as the Little Demon Fox Emperor finished speaking, a familiar voice came from behind.
"You indeed need to prepare well." The one speaking was Xiao Yue.
Before long, led by Xiao Yue, the three of them arrived at the top-floor office of the Worlds Number One Tower.
"Sister, tell us, what's the situation with the Purgatory Trial?" the Little Demon Fox Emperor asked slowly.
Mu Cheng also spoke up. "Um, I want to know... is bloodline also restricted inside the Purgatory Trial? And can the high-tech bracelet be used?"
"Master... of course it can be used, but Bloodline Power might be restricted," Xiao Yao replied, somewhat exasperated.
Li Sisi: "Mhm, that is indeed the case. What we should consider now is the issue after the seal is broken in the Purgatory Trial."
"What is all this? It hasn't even started... how can you be sure the seal will really be broken?" Mu Cheng looked completely bewildered.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Of course it can. Don't forget that this was all arranged by the Principal."
"Fine! Just pretend I didn't ask." Mu Cheng was indeed powerless to refute those words.
Xiao Yao didn't waste words and asked directly, "Sister... tell us what the situation is with this Purgatory Trial?"
Li Sisi: "It's not just the Purgatory Trial; the remaining seven trials are the same. A Demon God with strength at the God of Destruction level is sealed inside."
"Another Demon God. These Demon Gods really are everywhere," Mu Cheng couldn't help but interject again.
The Little Demon Fox Emperor glared at him. "If you don't speak... no one will think you're a mute. Will you die if you stay quiet for a bit?"
"A Demon God at the God of Destruction level? But his true strength here would only be infinitely close to it," Xiao Yao said thoughtfully.
Li Sisi: "Even if it's only infinitely close, he is still a God of Destruction level being. That strength is plain to see."
"Mhm, we indeed need to prepare well," the Little Demon Fox Emperor said without further questions.
"Next, what do you plan for us to do?"
Li Sisi: "To deal with a Demon God, our only current advantage lies in Talisman Arrays."
"Talisman Arrays? That's easy, leave it to me." Hearing this, Mu Cheng naturally wanted to show off a bit.
"Heaven-grade Talisman Arrays are no problem for Master, but what kind of Talisman Array do we need right now?" Xiao Yao asked.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "That goes without saying. Naturally, it's a Talisman Array that restricts Bloodline Power."
"Mhm, let's start with a hundred thousand of those. I won't let you lose out... I'll get you all the materials, and your reward will be all the star-glow crystals won from the bet," Li Sisi said, nodding.
Hearing this, Mu Cheng was stunned and asked again in disbelief, "Can you say that again? What did you just say?"
"You'll need star-glow crystals in the future. Anyway, they're of no use to me. Just try to help make as many Talisman Arrays as possible."
After Li Sisi finished speaking, she didn't hesitate to use her high-tech bracelet to transfer sixty trillion star-glow crystals in one go.
As for the talisman paper for drawing the arrays, she was also generous... giving out a hundred million sheets at once.
"Ah, this... so much talisman paper." Mu Cheng looked at it, trying to act calm.
One must know that back on Blue-White Star, this talisman paper had to be purchased through a Trader.
Naturally, it was a bit expensive, but now she was giving out a hundred million sheets... she was indeed quite generous.
Li Sisi took out another rubik's cube. "This thing can allow you to use your Bloodline Power for three days. Don't waste time, start now!"
"Alright then! I'll start now." Mu Cheng took the rubik's cube, and sure enough, the Bloodline Power in his body was no longer restricted.
Without hesitation, he directly entered his consciousness space.
"Sister, don't worry, leave it to him! Don't forget he possesses the three strongest techniques," the Little Demon Fox Emperor said, seeing Li Sisi's heavy heart.
Xiao Yao: "A hundred thousand sheets is indeed quite difficult, but Xiao Yao believes Master can definitely do it."
Inside the consciousness space, great changes had already taken place, with mountains and rivers...
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a miniature world.
"Let's try using the Power of Creation! It should be easier than drawing them one by one," Mu Cheng thought to himself.
A sheet of talisman paper appeared before him, and he began drawing a Talisman Array on it at lightning speed.
Easily, in less than ten seconds, a Heaven-grade bloodline-restricting Talisman Array was completed.
"It actually works. Then let's speed up." Mu Cheng saw that this method was viable.
He immediately controlled five sheets at once, and they could still be completed within ten seconds.
Next, he went straight to ten sheets at a time, constantly increasing the number...
Eventually, he stopped at his limit of three hundred and twenty-six sheets. Since there was enough time, Mu Cheng lowered his requirement slightly.
He would do three hundred sheets each time.
One thousand eight hundred sheets per minute, ten thousand eight hundred sheets per hour.
After twenty-four hours, he had completed nearly two hundred and sixty thousand, exceeding the goal directly.
"It's still too few. I should make at least a million," Mu Cheng was not satisfied.
After all, the opponent was a powerful Demon God. He naturally had to be fully prepared.
Without another word, he just went for it, constantly pushing his limits, soaring from three hundred sheets at a time to a thousand.
Finally, over a million Heaven-grade restricting talismans were drawn by him within the three days.
"You're all here? How much longer until the Purgatory Trial starts?" Mu Cheng asked, waking up from reality.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "It has already started. The entrance will close in three hours. How many restricting talismans did you draw?"
"Not too many, not too few, exactly one million," Mu Cheng replied.
Hearing this, Li Sisi was instantly shocked and asked again, "Are you joking? Truly a million?"
"How could it be fake?" Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and used his high-tech bracelet to transfer all the restricting talismans over.
Li Sisi: "You're really something, kid. A million sheets seems like it'll be enough to deal with him."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's split up! Leave the Purgatory Trial to us," Xiao Yao said without hesitation.
Soon, the five of them split into two groups. Mu Cheng, Xiao Yao, and the Little Demon Fox Emperor entered the Purgatory Trial.
Li Sisi and Xiao Yue began to set up the bloodline-restricting Talisman Arrays throughout the entire Duel Arena.
There weren't many people today, and with her strength, no one dared to step forward and stop them.
Inside the Duel Arena office.
"That guy... Big Brother hasn't already entered the Purgatory Trial, has he?" Eagle Head suddenly asked.
Sheep-head: "Do you even need to ask? He definitely has."
"Then what do we do now? That woman is setting up Talisman Arrays," Horse Head asked, completely at a loss.
Eagle Head: "Why don't you go deal with her?"
"Let them do whatever they want! Big Brother has already run off, so let's just take what belongs to us and leave too!" Sheep-head didn't want to take any risks.
Although sixty trillion star-glow crystals had been given out, there were still over a hundred billion left. So Horse Head, Sheep-head, and Eagle Head...
Naturally split it equally and went their separate ways!
"Those three guys seem to have left," Xiao Yue suddenly said.
Li Sisi: "Those three are nothing to fear. Let them do as they please! Let's hurry and finish the setup."
With a million restricting talismans, the time was tight and the task heavy, so the two of them also picked up their pace.
Inside the Purgatory Trial.
"The high-tech bracelet finally has a reaction. It seems this rubiks cube key is the key to the challenge through the Trader," Mu Cheng said, studying it.
The rules were quite simple: one had to get eight keys from eight purgatories to pass through.
Little Demon Fox Emperor: "Then what are we waiting for? The key should be somewhere on this Black Mountain."
This Purgatory Trial wasn't very large, just a Black Mountain, about thirty kilometers or so.
"Mhm, let's go up and see what's there," Xiao Yao said, walking in front.
Before long, the three of them reached the Black Mountain, only to discover that there was more to it than met the eye.
The Black Mountain was hollow, and looking down from above, it seemed bottomless.
Mainly, they hadn't encountered any of the other races, nor was there any danger...
This made Mu Cheng unable to resist saying, "By the way... don't you guys think this is a bit strange?"
