The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron-Chapter 717 - : 717

Chapter 717: 717

“You now have a choice. You can take a special test, but regardless of whether you succeed or fail, you will lose the Supreme Chart. However, if you succeed, you can receive the largest inheritance of this place. If you fail, you would have to bear severe consequences.” A cold voice echoed in Zhou Yishui’s ears.

Zhou Yishui looked somber and questioned, “I possess the Supreme Chart. If I pass the regular test, I can control the Supreme Saint Hall. Why then am I being asked to take a special test?”

“If you want to take the normal test, you can: just defeat those three hundred opponents in the Spirit Vein realm,” said the cold voice nonchalantly.

It was this understatement that almost made Zhou Yishui spew old blood.

What kind of monstrous joke was this? Challenging me to defeat three hundred opponents in the Spirit Vein realm, might as well just tell me to go die. This is simply impossible, absolutely no chance at all.

“Have you decided? Between the two tests, which one do you choose? If you choose none, even if you have the Supreme Chart, you won’t be able to leave here and you will stay here forever,” the cold voice said.

...

Zhou Yishui gritted his teeth, cursing inwardly. It seemed to him that there was only one option left: to undertake the special test.

If he succeeds, he can not only regain his freedom but also attain the greatest inheritance of the Supreme Saint Hall.

Although he will lose the Supreme Chart, if he can pass the test, loss of the Supreme Chart is indeed a small price to pay.

However, he had no clue what the special test was, nor did he know what punishment failure would entail.

So Zhou Yishui asked, “What kind of punishment will be meted out if I fail?”

The cold voice said, “If you fail the test, you will be suppressed for ten thousand years.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yishui’s expression changed drastically, and he began to waver.

Failure would mean being suppressed for ten thousand years? Wasn’t that akin to leaving Zhou Yishui to die of old age here?

Ten thousand years? At what realm was Zhou Yishui? How many years could he live? Probably two to three hundred years would already be a blessing.

This cost of punishment was something Zhou Yishui couldn’t afford.

In other words, he, Zhou Yishui, could only succeed, not fail. Failure would equate to death.

Realizing this, Zhou Yishui panicked, his forehead was covered in sweat. As resolute as he was, it was still quite difficult for him to remain calm under this kind of pressure.

No wonder, anyone who was in Zhou Yishui’s shoes would be at a loss and flustered.

“So? State your choice,” urged the cold voice.

Zhou Yishui looked extremely grim. What choice did he have at this point?

“I will take the special test,” Zhou Yishui said solemnly. He had no idea what the so-called special test was, and the consequences of failure were so severe that he had no confidence at all.

In the next moment, Zhou Yishui vanished from the palace. When he reappeared, he found himself in an enclosed space.

He could tell it was an enclosed space as he felt the pressure of being here, as though he was locked in a cage.

“Where is this? What exactly is the test?” Zhou Yishui questioned aloud.

The cold voice, however, remained silent, as if it hadn’t heard Zhou Yishui’s question at all.

Without a response, Zhou Yishui felt a chill in his heart. He asked three times in a row, but the surroundings were utterly quiet with only his voice echoing.

This time, Zhou Yishui was truly confused. What exactly was going on? Had they merely put him here, or had the test already begun without him realizing it?

“Don’t panic, maybe the test has truly started,” Zhou Yishui took a deep breath and muttered to himself, as he started to evaluate his surroundings.

Indeed, it was an enclosed space. No matter which way he went, within ten steps he would come across a wall blocking his path.

“Could the so-called test be to escape this place using my own abilities?” Zhou Yishui speculated, his expression varying.

Having thought of this, Zhou Yishui launched himself at one of the walls.

With a loud thump, Zhou Yishui found himself being knocked back. He tasted a sweetness in his throat and couldn’t help but start to cough up blood.

The wall he’d assaulted was intact, without a trace of damage from Zhou Yishui’s punch.

Boom, Boom, Boom!

Zhou Yishui was enraged. He had never found himself in such an embarrassing situation before. Now, he vented all his anger on the four walls, attacking them relentlessly.

After a grueling half-day, Zhou Yishui gave up. Regardless of his attacks, the walls were in perfect condition. Only Zhou Yishui himself was exhausted to the point of collapse, with his energy flowing disorderly in his body, unable to calm down for a long while.

“What exactly is this test?” Zhou Yishui questioned again. Blindly striking out like a headless fly had left him utterly clueless.

“Grasp the mystery of this place, and you can leave, which means you have passed the test,” the cold voice finally spoke, making Zhou Yishui verge on tears of relief.

However, hearing the cold voice, Zhou Yishui’s expression turned sour again.

After all this fuss, the test wasn’t about escaping using brute force, but deciphering the mystery of this place.

Although Zhou Yishui was secretly annoyed, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had utter confidence in his talent and innate intelligence. If it was a test of comprehension, he was sure he could pass it.

With this thought, Zhou Yishui immediately sat cross-legged, closing his eyes, his mind completely calm.

Looking at all this, Fang Lin couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Fortunately, he controlled the Supreme Saint Hall, so no one could hear his laughter.

“Go ahead, sit there and contemplate your life,” whispered Fang Lin to himself.

…

Demon Suppressing City was now a river of blood with bodies of Demon Beasts and Martial Artists piled high.

A section of the city wall had collapsed, and a group of Demon Beasts had invaded the city, but had been extinguished by Martial Artists in the city.

And outside the city, the battle was still ongoing, and even fiercer. Every moment, people or Demon Beasts fell.

The number of Demon Beasts, however, remained the same, whereas the number of Martial Artists in Demon Suppressing City was dwindling, making the situation dire.

The Demon Suppressing King was still alive, his strength was too powerful, killing three Demon Kings consecutively.

However, he soon encountered a crisis. Five Demon Kings attacked him together, wanting to eliminate this significant threat.
