Coco opened her mouth to say something, but didn't in the end. Her gaze inadvertently landed on Lu Yin's bleeding right arm, "Ah, you're injured."
Lu Yin glanced over, "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Coco hurriedly said, "Let me treat you, or it'll get infected. The universe is full of strange viruses, you can die if you're not careful."
Lu Yin's brows rose, "You're exaggerating."
"It's true, any small wound can be the cause of death in the future."
Lu Yin was speechless, did all doctors like to scare people?
"Alright, can you treat me?"
Coco's eyes lit up, looking like a completely different person, "Okay."
Seeing her excited expression, Lu Yin suddenly had a bad premonition.
As expected, a three-meter-long syringe slowly appeared in Coco's hand, shocking both of them. The needle was a meter long, and it reflected a cold light. There was an unknown green liquid inside the syringe that made their hair stand on end. Lu Yin's scalp went numb, and he subconsciously retreated. "What are you doing?" he asked warily.
Coco hugged the syringe and stared at him excitedly, "Treatment? Come on, just one shot and I'll be fine."
Lu Yin gulped and hurriedly refused, "No need, I can do it myself, I don't need your treatment."
Coco grew anxious, "I'll treat you, you won't be able to treat it completely and there will be repercussions. It'll be too late if all sorts of lesions appear. Come on."
Lu Yin backed away again, "No need, I can do it myself."
Coco felt it was a pity, but she looked at Lu Yin's arm in disappointment, "Oh," and the syringe disappeared.
Only then did Lulu react, "That's your innate gift?"
Coco returned to her timid and adorable self, nodding, "Yes, my innate gift can heal injuries, it's very useful. It's a pity that no one wants to let me use it."
Lu Yin rolled his eyes, that thing was over after a single shot. Only an idiot would let her use it, it looked even more terrifying than a sword.
"Your innate gift is really, really unique," Lulu exclaimed.
Coco smiled bashfully.
Suddenly, an angry roar came from outside the cave as a beast swept past, charging into the distance.
Lu Yin looked out of the cave, wondering how Schutz and the rest were doing on the path to becoming Melders. Gerlaine was smart enough to give up on the test, otherwise, they would have had to carry another burden.
Gerbach was unlucky and was injured by the first beast wave. If he hadn't hidden well, he would have become food. Yan Gang was the same, so the two of them could be said to have failed.
In the distance, Tianming had successfully evaded the beast tide by hiding beneath a giant boulder. However, his luck was just as bad, as he had run into Silver Tiger, the number one expert of Grandtop Weave's Nine Stacks Sect's younger generation. He was also Tianming's enemy.
Silver Tiger excitedly stared at Tianming. "I never thought that I would meet you here. Tianming, I heard that you've become the Hall Master of Yu Academy. Congratulations!"
Tianming's expression was serious as he stared at Silver Tiger. "I never thought that I would meet you here. I can finally take revenge for what happened back then."
Silver Tiger sneered, "Revenge?
What a joke, you're just a piece of trash who was expelled from the Nine Stacks Sect. You secretly learned Nine Stacks without permission, but you only managed to comprehend Three Stacks. You still have the face to say that the Great Yu Empire actually wants a piece of trash like you? I'll help them get rid of you today! "Silver Tiger slammed a palm towards Tianming, condensing a powerful fluctuation. Tianming's gaze turned cold as he responded with a palm strike of his own.
The shockwave shook the ground, causing it to crack three times in a row. This was the fluctuation of Three Stacks, but in the next moment, Tianming's pupils shrank as he felt a sharp pain in his right hand. "Fourth Stacks! You actually comprehended Fourth Stacks!" Silver Tiger laughed maniacally. "A piece of trash like you will never understand me.
Fourth Stacks? Today, I'll make you despair! "Another terrifying force descended. This time, it was Fifth Stacks.
Tianming's right hand was broken as Silver Tiger's Fifth Stacks landed on his abdomen. He spat out a mouthful of blood as he flew backwards and crashed into the mountain wall.
Silver Tiger stood in place and looked at Tianming coldly. "You were trash back then, and you're still trash today. I'll send you on your way." Tianming spat out another mouthful of blood and raised his left hand, which transformed into a claw. The void howled as the Skybeast Claw enveloped an area of a hundred meters. A dense killing intent descended, shattering the boulders and ground above the valley.
Silver Tiger was shocked by Tianming's forty-three forms of the Skybeast Claw, but he didn't have time to block it. Astral beasts fell from the sky one after another, all of them enveloped by the Skybeast Claw.
Boom!
The ground shook, and dust rose into the air. More than ten astral beasts were turned into blood. Silver Tiger's clothes were torn apart, and four bloody gashes could be seen on his right shoulder. He had been injured by the Skybeast Claw, and when he looked up, Tianming had long since disappeared. "You can't escape!" Silver Tiger roared and leapt into the air. However, before he could land, a shadow enveloped him and a furry claw swept out, piercing through his body. His body exploded into pieces, leaving only his head behind in the valley. The last thing he saw was the heavily injured Tianming hiding under the ruins of the mountain wall.
Tianming looked at Silver Tiger's unwilling gaze, and only his head was left glaring at him. He smiled bitterly. He had gotten his revenge, but the test had come to an end. As for whether or not he could survive, that was up to the heavens.
The beast wave lasted for an entire day, and it was hell for the cultivators who had participated in the test. Endless waves of astral beasts could appear at any time to take their lives. These beasts were all on the same level as the cultivators, and even the strongest person had to avoid them. They had seen their friends, family, and comrades die with their own eyes. It was like the end of the world, and they could only hide in a corner and tremble.
When the beast wave ended, the sun in the sky was unsealed, and the scorching heat roasted the earth once more. At this moment, those who had survived felt the warmth of this scorching heat, as it replaced the cold and murderous winter.
Lu Yin's trio walked out of the cave, and what they breathed in wasn't just the hot air, but also the thick stench of blood.
"This stench … Thousands of creatures died nearby," Coco said with a pale face as she sniffed the air.
He looked down at the mountain peak and saw many incomplete corpses. It was just a test, but it had been like purgatory. This reminded him of Earth's evolutionary trial. How many people had turned into zombies in that instant?
How many people had died at the mouths of the mutant beasts? Many of the students who had participated in the trial had died as well. To the powerhouses of the universe, life was not precious; they cared more about strength.
This universe had always been one where the strong preyed on the weak.
At this point, even the highest temperature could not dispel the coldness in some people's hearts. Raas, for example, was completely terrified. He had barely escaped from the jaws of the beasts, and all he wanted now was to return to the Great Yu Empire.
"Those who do not wish to participate in the test, shout 'I give up' three times. The rest will take three attacks, dead or alive," a thunderous voice boomed through the void, echoing throughout the entire path. It wasn't just the Sentinel path, but also the Melder path, and even the heavens.
Those who heard it paled; three unavoidable attacks?
Lu Yin looked up; three attacks?
Coco was so terrified that she was on the verge of tears.
"I give up, I give up, I give up!" A youth shouted from the middle of the mountain peak below Lu Yin's group, as if he was afraid that no one would hear him.
"I give up, I give up, I give up!" Someone else quickly shouted.
"I give up, I give up, I give up!"
…
The voices grew distant as more and more people gave up.
But there were still some who were unwilling to give up. Those who participated in the test were all elites, and there was no lack of strong-willed individuals. For example, there was a man at the foot of the mountain who refused to give up even though his right leg was crippled.
"Coco, you're not giving up?" Lulu asked.
Coco fearfully looked up at the sky and shook her head, "I don't want to. Master said that there are no cowards in Windrift Hall."
Lu Yin glanced at her; he was suddenly very interested in Coco's master; she had even said something like that.
"That person's leg is broken, I'll go treat him," Coco said eagerly as she looked at the man at the foot of the mountain.
"You'll scare him," Lulu said.
"I want to help him," Coco said innocently.
"Let him go," Lu Yin said.
Coco felt wronged.
It didn't take long for the ground to fall silent.
Lu Yin and Lulu dodged at the same time, leaving Coco at a loss.
The two didn't explain and just looked up at the sky. This was a test, and no one could help anyone. Since they had made preparations, they had to face the incoming attacks alone.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and felt an inexplicable sense of danger. An invisible attack descended from the void and smashed down on his head, but he dodged with Flash. The attack smashed into the mountain peak and pierced through it.
At the same time, Lulu and Coco were attacked as well.
Lulu easily dodged it.
Coco didn't dodge; she took out a syringe and held it above her head. The invisible attack smashed down on her, sending her several meters into the ground. Lu Yin and Lulu looked over and saw that she was perfectly fine; the syringe had blocked the attack for her.
