With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 741: Soul Tower of Trial (17)

The trial continued, going from the eleventh wave to the nineteenth wave without anything really changing.

They had expected a mini boss during the fifteenth wave, but it turned out that there wasn't anything.

As for the nineteenth wave, it was just a bunch of Mid Foundation Realm Beasts with a few High Foundation Realm Beasts. There were never any Peak Foundation Realm Beasts that appeared.

It was almost as if there wouldn't be any strong enemies that would appear or it was building up to something…

When the twentieth wave came, they were once again disappointed.

The doors didn't open once they finished off the last beast from the nineteenth wave, but rather there was a sound that came from above.

Everyone looked up with a confused look as there was something that suddenly dropped down.

This thing landed right in the center of the room and revealed itself to be a large spirit beast. As soon as it landed, it reared its head back and released a loud roar that seemed to shake the room itself.

Though most people that looked at it had a disappointed look on their face instead of being surprised by it.

That was because even if it was big, it was only in the Peak Foundation Realm.

This might be a problem if there were a bunch of these spirit beasts that were all in the Peak Foundation Realm, but it was only a single one.

There were still over seven hundred of them that were here, so it wasn't as if it was a problem for them to deal with a single Peak Foundation Realm Beast. Not to mention that it was so big that it seemed like it was impossible for it to avoid all of the attacks that would be coming its way.

They were planning on doing the same thing where they bombarded this beast from all directions.

But unlike before where they would have to split up, they would be able to attack at the same time.

After all, this spirit beast had even done them a favour by landing right in the center of them.

The statues that fell were positioned in a way that they formed a circle around the room. So by being in the center of the room, the spirit beast was actually right in the center of their formation, meaning that it was a target from all sides.

Since there was no reason to hold back, the spirit beast soon was getting bombarded from all sides by the disciples.

Not a single one of them held back this time since it was the final wave.

They all wanted to end this as quickly as possible so they couldn't give the trial a chance to give them another surprise. All of them wanted to make sure that nothing else could happen.

The poor spirit beast only got to give a single roar before it was completely overwhelmed.

Though it was in the Peak Foundation Realm, these were geniuses that were also in the Foundation Realm who could easily cross realms to fight. Not to mention with so many of them…it just wasn't able to resist at all.

With how hurt the spirit beast looked, it seemed like it would only be a matter of time before they took it down.

Everyone was looking excited, except for the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group who still had worried looks. Even though this seemed like the end, they didn't get excited like everyone else.

That was because they…knew that it wouldn't be that simple.

"Finish it!"

One person shouted and everyone responded by using their most powerful attacks to end the spirit beast.

However…

The spirit beast suddenly gave a roar that created a barrier around it.

This barrier blocked all of the attacks that came at it to the surprise of everyone here.

However, that wasn't the only thing that this barrier did.

After blocking every attack that came at it, the barrier suddenly shattered and released a shockwave that pushed everyone back. It didn't hurt them, but it pushed all of them away so that the spirit beast got a moment to itself.

At the same time, the shockwave was so strong that it caused cracks to form on nine of the statues.

Then all of a sudden, all nine statues shattered at the same time.

Everyone was once again shocked when they saw this before being filled with rage and gathered their spiritual energy again.

The Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group who had been observing the whole time immediately tried to stop them, but it was already too late. They couldn't stop everyone from using their strongest attacks once more to finish off the spirit beast.

The spirit beast didn't seem to mind as it almost seemed like it had a satisfied look on its face.

Almost as if it was happy to see all of these statues being destroyed.

Almost as if it was satisfied with the results and that it had finished its job.

With this satisfied look on its face, it dropped to the ground and disappeared without a trace.

The only thing that was left behind was some kind of jewel.

It was just that no one was in the mood to care about this since they were lamenting the destruction of the nine statues. Not a single person thought that nine statues would be destroyed just like this.

As if on cue, there was a timer that appeared and the mechanical voice of the statue said…

"As a penalty, nine more waves have been added. They will begin once the timer finishes."

Everyone had a grim look on their faces when they heard this.

They had thought that they were done with this trial, but now they had to face nine more waves.

Though they were worried, it didn't seem like they were too worried since they had already faced the waves before. They didn't think that these nine extra waves would be that powerful.

That was until Huang Xie said, "You're mistaken."

Everyone looked at Huang Xie with a confused look when they heard this, as if they were waiting for him to explain.

Huang Xie looked at the remaining statue and said, "Why was it nine statues and not all ten? They were all at the same range, so if it could shatter nine statues, why didn't it shatter ten? Is there something special about this?"

They were even more confused when they heard this, but there were some people that had looks of understanding. There were some people that seemed to have picked up something from what Huang Xie said.

Right, it was true that it could have shattered all ten instead of just nine…

So why was it only nine?

That was unless it was…scripted.

Then from the very beginning, there was supposed to be nine extra waves?

When these people realized this, there were many that went over to the statue to look at it carefully. It seemed like they were trying to find something that would prove them wrong, but it didn't seem like there was anything that would.

This statue was just like the others, there was nothing special about it that would set it apart.

That meant that this statue should have been shattered just like the other nine.

Huang Xie didn't say anything during all of this since he wanted to let them figure it out for themselves.

If it wasn't for the fact that the timer was rather long, then he might not have done this, but it was long enough that he had some time to spare to let them figure it out themselves. That was the most effective way since they would be convinced of the conclusion if they figured it out themselves.

Once most of them had figured it out, he said, "Everything up to this point was nothing more than a tutorial, so we should have been holding back. The last fight was the one that we needed to conserve our energy the most."

There were still some that didn't seem to believe what he said, so one of them said, "No, it's just because we didn't kill that last spirit beast fast enough."

Huang Xie shook his head and said, "Right, if it was that, then why did it not have to charge up that ability? Why could it use it instantly?"

There was only silence that followed as they couldn't give an explanation to this.

Huang Xie didn't bother with them anymore as he said, "For now, what we need to do is recover our strength and move all our defenses around this one statue."

Everyone seemed dazed hearing this, but Huang Xie didn't care as he moved towards the statue.

The ones that were around it looked at him with curious looks as if they were wondering what he was doing, but Huang Xie just ignored all of them as he picked up the statue.

He had tried doing this before since he thought about gathering them all together to make them easier to protect. But he had found that the statues had been rooted in place, so he wasn't able to move them.

It was different now as he was able to easily lift the statue, which once again confirmed his theory.

Everything that had happened before had already been planned.

It was only what followed that would be different since what followed was the real trial.

Huang Xie brought the statue to the center of the room and said, "Everyone, set up the defenses!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay before moving to tear down their defenses and set them up again.
