Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Trial Puppet: Ultimate

Next, the three did not rashly initiate the final trial.

The difficulty of the second stage was already so high, and the third stage would be even more challenging on this basis.

To ensure absolute safety, before starting the third trial, they must let their respective guardian beasts recover to their peak condition.

When the three's beasts were all adjusted to their peak, Ying Bing slowly walked towards Gu Xing.

She stopped in front of Gu Xing, her ice-blue eyes rarely showing a ripple:

"The third stage..." Her usually cool voice paused, "You take the lead attack."

This suggestion made Gu Xing slightly stunned.

With Qin Tian's arrogance, would he accept such an arrangement?

He turned his head and saw that this young master, who usually looked down on everyone, didn't have any rebuttal to this statement.

If the strength gap wasn't too large, Qin Tian might still have the thought of competing.

But witnessing Gu Xing swiftly defeating ten Tier Seven Enhanced Trial Puppets, he completely let go of his pride.

"I also agree with Sister Bing's idea," Qin Tian patted his chest, "My tree man is durable and can definitely help delay some time."

Seeing both of them say this, Gu Xing could only nod in agreement.

After all, in terms of the skills of the Ice Phoenix and the tree man, the offensive capabilities of these two guardian beasts were indeed weaker than Liu Li.

After confirming their tactics, the three of them walked to the center of the circular hall.

There, a stone platform to initiate the third trial awaited them.

When their palms simultaneously touched the cold surface of the stone platform, the entire hall suddenly lit up with a ghostly blue light.

A mechanized voice echoed in the void: "Final trial confirmation procedure initiated."

A light screen unfolded in front of the three, with blood-red text that was particularly eye-catching:

[Final Trial Warning]

[Rule 1: Once the trial begins, it cannot be exited midway]

[Rule 2: Only passing the trial allows you to leave the Trial Space]

[Rule 3: Failures will remain here forever]

[Please confirm]

[Yes/No]

Gu Xing noticed a line of almost transparent small words in the lower right corner of the light screen:

"Since the establishment of the Land of Trial, final trial success rate: 0.00%"

Seeing this prompt, Gu Xing's expression was somewhat grave.

To know, in the first two stages, if one felt they couldn't hold on, retreating to a safe area could ensure their safety.

But the final trial, seemingly different...

Only completing it would end it!

This meant that if the three failed the trial, the lives of all three would remain here.

Gu Xing's gaze first landed on Qin Tian.

Unexpectedly, this young master was full of seriousness at this moment:

"I participate!" Qin Tian suddenly spoke up.

"Before the journey, the old man laid down the law..."

"Either return with the glory of passing the trial, or... never step into the Qin Family gates forever!"

"More importantly..."

Qin Tian suddenly lifted his head, stubbornness filling his eyes.

"I want to let that old stubborn know, his son is not a coward who fears death!"

Gu Xing was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then he understood.

The Qin Family and the Ying Family were alike, both were aristocratic families with hundreds of years of heritage.

As the heir of the Qin Family...

He could be proud, he could be arrogant, but he absolutely could not be a coward fearing death!

When his gaze turned to Ying Bing, this cool girl only lifted her eyelids.

Her slender fingers gently stroked the feathers of the Ice Phoenix, and her thin lips softly opened:

"Participate!"

Just two simple words, yet with immense determination.

Aware of Qin Tian and Ying Bing's choices, the corners of Gu Xing's mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

He took a deep breath and unhesitatingly chose "Yes" with his fingertips.

"Boom——"

Accompanied by deafening roars, a massive boulder thunderously fell, completely sealing the only retreat route.

And in the center of the hall, space suddenly distorted, a blurry giant shadow was condensing.

With every bit it manifested, a suffocating pressure increased in the air.

[Trial Puppet: Ultimate]

[Talent: Epic Nine Stars]

[Level: Awakening Tier Eight]

[Power: 301]

[Constitution: 340]

[Spirit: 256]

[Speed: 240]

[Skills: Balanced Force Field·Complete, Realm-Breaking Hammer, Stable Barrier]

Seeing the object of the final trial, even Gu Xing couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

With power and constitution exceeding 300 points, even the slightly weaker spirit and speed attributes reached 250 points!

Is such a thing really something a newbie Tier Five Beast Master can beat?

Qin Tian and Ying Bing naturally also felt the imposing presence emanating from the giant puppet.

Qin Tian unconsciously took a half step back, his Adam's apple bobbing:

"Xing... Brother Xing, can we really take down this thing?"

His gaze swept to his proud war tree man.

In front of this trial puppet, his three-meter-high war tree man was like a chick.

Ying Bing also furrowed her brows seeing this trial puppet.

The Profound Frost Ice Phoenix on her shoulder uneasily cried out, clearly feeling the puppet's terrifying nature as well.

At this moment, Gu Xing looked at the completed trial puppet, quickly calculating a way to slay this trial puppet in his mind.

[Divine Angel (Liu Li)]

[Talent: Legendary One Star]

[Level: Awakening Tier Five]

[Power: 148]

[Constitution: 150]

[Spirit: 142]

[Speed: 153]

[Skills: Judgment (increased damage to Demon Race beings), Divine Protection (immune to one lethal attack), Blazing Angel Form (All attributes increased by 200%), Song of the End (after use, the angel enters a slumber phase)]

If Liu Li activates the Blazing Angel mode, her attributes would be increased to around 300 points.

Although her constitution and power would still fall short of this guardian beast, with the increase from Judgment skill, it should be enough to cut through the puppet's high constitution of 340 points.

However, this trial puppet wouldn't just stand still and let Liu Li attack.

Ying Bing and Qin Tian's beasts would need to buy Liu Li 3 seconds of time.

If the plan fails...

Gu Xing's gaze fell on the little girl's "Finishing Technique, Song of the End."

With the Blazing Angel form already so strong, the Song of the End, which is even stronger than the Blazing Angel form, should definitely handle the Ultimate Trial Puppet.

But...

Gu Xing really didn't want to use this skill unless absolutely necessary.

After all, once used, the little girl would enter a slumber phase.

Nobody knows how long this time would last!

Thinking of this, Gu Xing cleared his mind of distractions.

No problem!

We can definitely do it!

"Ying Bing, Qin Tian, I need you to buy Liu Li at least three seconds."

Hearing Gu Xing's voice, Ying Bing and Qin Tian's bodies trembled.

"Brother Xing, rest assured, we might not be able to kill this puppet, but dragging out time—my war tree man can do that!"

At the side, Ying Bing also nodded.

The Profound Frost Ice Phoenix, though not good at attacking, is excellent at controlling.

She and Qin Tian working together to control this trial puppet for three seconds should be feasible!

Looking at their beasts, Gu Xing wasn't optimistic.

The trial puppet's attributes were nearly double that of their beasts.

With such a huge gap, trying to delay for three seconds was extremely difficult.

Moreover, this trial puppet also has skills.

But at present, there's no other choice!

We can only gamble!
