184 Chapter 175: General Duo Lai is Furious (3K)_1
Land of Challenge, the waiting area of the Red Tower.
One after another, the lords were still focusing on the light spot at the bottom of the tower, glancing at the entrance now and then, wondering when that young figure would appear.
As they wondered, their voices gradually dropped, no longer chatting with the mentality of joy, but staring straight at that light spot, their faces increasingly amazed.
"The newcomer seems to have been in there for quite a while."
"Yeah, it's been more than ten minutes."
For a newcomer's first time in the Land of Challenge, it was not unusual to last for a long time, but considering that newcomer's too youthful face, it was surprising and even shocking.
Those guys who bet on 100 seconds, 300 seconds, 500 seconds lost their pants.
But no one paid attention to this at this moment, they were only interested in how long this newcomer could last, or say...
Bang!
At the bottom of the Red Tower, that light spot suddenly brightened, and shot up like a rocket ascending to the heavens, jumping up to the second level. There, it blinked, making its presence felt.
He really made it!
The newcomer made it!
"Wow, awesome!"
"When I entered the Land of Challenge, I was already thirty-two years old and had been a lord for six years. Even so, I had to try three times before I finally made it through the first level."
"Compared to this young man, it's a testament to how the young always surpass the old."
"I must contact him and exchange business cards or something when this newcomer comes out."
"Yeah, it won't be long; he'll probably come out soon. After all, the second level is much harder than the first one."
Far away,
Shen Linglong, who doesn't socialize with other lords and wraps herself tight like a weird person, showed a superior smile of 'only she knows the truth' as she listened to the surprises of Sword Demon, Ying Guang, and others.
Although Tianyuan is a bit amazing, compared to her Lady Han Yue, he falls far short.
Lady Cold Moon also entered the Land of Challenge quite early and swept through like a broken bamboo, passing three levels in a row. It was from that time on that she left the geniuses of her time in the dust with her rapid progress.
Tianyuan just won't cut it.
Well, to be fair and objective, Tianyuan does have a talent far superior to that of his peers, only being overshadowed by Lady Han Yue.
That's quite remarkable already, no wonder Lady Cold Moon values him.
Shen Linglong continued to stare at the light spot, waiting to see how long Tianyuan could hold on in the second level and then report to her Lady Cold Moon in great detail.
...
Inside the Red Tower, Chaos Space.
"Ding!"
"Prompt: You have passed the first level of the Red Tower and received a random reward 'Miracle Building·Flame Cannons (rare)'."
Received a complete rare building.
Not bad.
Passthrough levels in the Land of Challenge can grant rewards, but the rewards for small levels are just accessories, good but not precious. The really valuable rewards only come after passing through an entire tower.
However,
"If you only focus on the rewards, you will miss the biggest hidden benefit of the Land of Challenge—combat!"
"This kind of fearless battle where you can put all your strength against strong enemies is precious to any kind of intelligent soldier. Even if they advance to the War General level or Leader level in the future, this fighting experience will still be invaluable."
Three months ago, he had the idea of using the power of the Secret Realm to train Dead Bone and Duo Lai in the 'Newcomer Secret Realm of Challenge'.
Unfortunately, he fought too fiercely and swiftly back then, and ended up clearing the entire Secret Realm, missing a valuable training opportunity.
Now, there's no risk of clearing the Land of Challenge, but you can't go back to the previous levels once you pass them.
He will have to take his time.
This is also why he didn't let Dead Bone and Duo Lai compete in the first challenge. He wanted to give others a chance to grind, especially Rakshasa, Hong Yi, and other division heads who can't enter the Hero Duel Arena.
"Prompt: Do you want to enter the second level?"
"Prompt: The second level battlefield is evolving..."
In a blink of an eye, the world changes.
It's still the boundless prairie with lush green grass, and the soldiers and elites of Tianyuan division appear in the center of this grassland.
This time, without the command of Dead Bone, the Skeleton Generals quickly lining up to defend, and one after another, the resentful spirits integrated into the bodies of the Skeleton Generals as if they were possessed, becoming one entity.
In just a few seconds, a preliminary formation is formed.
It's like a harmonious whole!
Tree Demon Granny directly uses her big move, and with the rumbling sound of the earth shaking, a vast and dense network of roots and trees rise up, blocking the dazzling sunlight, leaving only shadows of trees everywhere.
At the same time, large bodies with an iron hue appear on all sides of the army, just like in the first challenge.
Nuns riding Ironclad Scorpion like a chariot rushing in like the wind.
The difference is...
The number of enemy troops in the last level was 300, and this level has...600!
Double the amount!
The pressure, however, is more than twice as intense!
As soon as they appeared, 300 scorpions' tails were raised high, tearing the air like armor-piercing bullets, making a sharp noise, and hitting heavily on the dense forest of roots and trees.
It's as if dozens of machine guns are set up in mid-air, sweeping the ground continuously.
The sound of "hissing" echoes constantly, and the sturdy roots and thick trunks are torn open like rotted wood. Splinters and wood debris fall apart and the dust, mud, and grass on the ground are splashed up to a height of more than ten meters under the bombardment.
Smoke and dust fills the air.
Seventeen scrambles up from the ground, a terrifying wound torn in her left waist, her flesh inverting. She remains calm, just spitting out the grass flakes that had splashed into her mouth.
The Skeleton Mortician and Skeleton Generals were even pierced through by the bullet-like pointed needles, their armor cracked, and half of their bodies shattered.
Although the Tianyuan Corps has not reduced in number, there are quite a few wounded in this round of fires.
Mu Yuan drew a breath of cold air.
"The second level, is as terrifying as this."
Without a doubt, if Duo Lai and Dead Bone no longer participate, the regular forces really won't be able to pass.
"Duo Lai!"
"Incoming coo~!"
A single Duo Lai zipped into the sky with its right hand extended. The pristine five fingers opened wide as its palm lined up with the distant enemies who were still too far away to be engaged by its unit.
Fireball!
A searing and scorching fireball appeared and expanded instantaneously into a giant sphere, with a diameter still exceeding ten meters even after being highly condensed.
With a mere flick of its finger, the orange/red fireball cut through the sky, casting a bright glow in the distance.
Boom——!!
It was like a sunset sinking into the earth, with half of the enormous orange/red sphere plunging into the ground. The ensuing explosion released infinite light and heat, dyeing the entire sky red with swirling red clouds scattering in all directions, as splendid as a sunset.
A splendid spectacle filled with destructive intent.
Flames roared outwards.
Isloa watched, her radiantly bright eyes completely reflecting the orange-red light, while the wind blew her hair all over the place, and her clothes rustled dramatically.
"No matter how many times I see it, it's always awe-inspiring."
In a one-on-one battle, she was slightly inferior to Duo Lai, but the difference was slight. However, this world-destroying technique, she could not execute. And even if she could, the energy expenditure would deplete her rapidly.
Duo Lai, on the other hand? It could easily execute this technique dozens of times.
Duo Lai also recovers energy extremely quickly, far exceeding hers, and if the duration of the battle was extended, an apocalyptic scenario would not be out of the question.
She often wondered, is Duo Lai a giant dragon wearing human skin, or some other creature of massive size?
However, it is not.
Duo Lai is certainly not human, but it is simply a slime.
This is less reasonable than being a human!
However, as the dust gradually dispersed, the result of Duo Lai's super-large fireball didn't achieve the results it expected.
On the scorched and burning ground, several Ironclad Scorpions curtailed their tails to form a sphere that protected the nuns inside.
Their bodies were nearly charred black, but the only ones who fell under the super-large fireball were a few scorpions and nuns at the center.
The rest of the scorpions were just severely injured.
At this moment, the tail of the scorpions slowly retracted, revealing inside the nuns whose clothes had been mostly burnt away and whose skin was also burnt and charred, but were still showing strong vitality.
They showed no expression.
They raised their silver crosses.
Hum——
Heavenly light descended.
The healing holy light fell upon them, and their charred skin began to peel off rapidly, being replaced by fresh, white ones, as smooth as a baby's.
This holy light also fell on the Ironclad Scorpions, causing their injured bodies to recover at a visible speed.
There were nuns equipped with purification skills who let the cleansing holy light fall on them and remove all traces of burn status from them and the scorpions.
In the blink of an eye,
The Scorpions and nuns, if not fully recovered, at the very least, had returned to 60-70% of their full strength, with not much damage to their combat power.
Duo Lai: "???"
Didn't it waste its move then?
Under everyone's watchful eyes, it had made a mistake.
General Duo Lai was furious and prepared to output energy at a super, super multiplier. At a crucial moment, Miss Duo's IQ returned to its high point, realizing this wasn't working.
Not to mention that 'Pseudo Blazing Sun' would affect friendly forces, and took longer to gather energy. Both the Ironclad Scorpions and the nuns were not common foes, they were all elites with high defense and quick recovery, these broad range attacks would not be effective.
In this case,
Duo Lai contemplated.
As piercing bullet nails tore through the air and shot towards it, it quickly sprouted wings and performed a three hundred and sixty-degree flip in the air, leaving a series of afterimages behind.
At the same time, around it, one steel ball after another was forming and surrounding it with crackling lightning, pulsating with a special rhythm and tempo.
In the next moment, the steel balls burst out like sparks of electricity.
With a speed far exceeding the nuns and scorpions, they pierced through them.
Thud——
The nuns' heads were shattered and shattered as if they were watermelons.
The hard skull of the giant scorpions was penetrated by steel balls as if it were paper, and were killed in the blink of an eye.
Whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz, whizz——
In an instant, General Duo Lai had achieved an astonishing record of thirteen kills.
And it made much less noise and did not affect friendly forces.
"Hmph, that's the real power of the real duo!"
It zipped around in the air with its high mobility, attracting firepower while continually forming electromagnetic cannonballs that were fired down one after another.
Then Duo Lai deduced that shattering the nuns and even the giant scorpions didn't need that much energy, it then reduced its output to extend its endurance. After all, it knew how to manage resources (hands on hips)!
Several minutes later, over half of the scorpions and nuns had been lost under Duo Lai's 'Sky-based attack'.
And General Duo Lai's energy was still far from being depleted.
Mu Yuan had a rough estimation.
The energy reserve of General Dead Bone is about three to four times that of Isloa. While Duo Lai's energy reserve was more than twice that of Dead Bone, far exceeding that of Isloa.
And its recovery rate, was dozens of times that of Isloa.
If Dead Bones didn't tap into backup energy sources, its endurance was far inferior to Duo Lai's.
At this time,
Even though Duo Lai was holding back the enemy and continuously killing, other division chiefs and elites were still under tremendous pressure. The giant scorpions charged in, and the nuns waved their hands, spreading purifying holy light.
But under such pressure, the Skeleton Generals and Resentful Spirits, who already possessed advanced intelligences, were improving rapidly.
Spear throws, heavy sword sweeps, and ghost claws reaching out.
Their coordination was becoming more and more seamless. Many times, they didn't need Dead Bone to give them mental commands, they had started to work together spontaneously.
Undead energy, rushing and surging, lingered over their formations.
Vaguely, it united them into a whole.
