598: The third level opponent

Chen Du was very puzzled.

After a series of battles, he already understood that the people created here were not fabricated, but were closely related to their real-life counterparts.

It was the kind that had a basis, and even if there were errors, the difference wouldn't be significant.

If he followed this line of thought, then Gao Zhongwang definitely harbored a great secret.

His various performances could no longer be simply dismissed as good talent; he must have had some great Opportunity.

"It's over."

Chen Du declared.

With the star plate Sealed, Gao Zhongwang was suppressed by the Domain, by Nimble Cats Grace, and strengthened by Chen Du's own Bloom.

With two layers of weakening and one layer of enhancement, Gao Zhongwang ultimately failed to create another miracle and, after being pierced through the heart by Chen Du's sword, dissipated like ashes.

This wasn't the Immortal Master Chen Du, so he had no psychological burden whatsoever.

Even if the real Gao Zhongwang stood here, if he turned his blade on himself, Chen Du would still kill him without hesitation!

Afterward, Chen Du once again used his etherealization ability to place Void Chains into his storage space.

He had to admit, this item was indeed quite useful at times.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaogu had already retracted her environment-based ability and, together with Long Shan, the two people and one bear launched a fierce attack on Chen Du.

Their expressions showed no wavering due to Gao Zhongwang's death, like emotionless robots.

Zhou Xiaogu: "Chen Du, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you broke my 'Magma Synthesis'!"

Long Shan: "Die, Chen Du! Under the blessing of 'Firefly Armor,' my eyes can see all the darkness in the world!"

Facing the still-clamoring duo, Chen Du remained unhurried; the most troublesome Gao Zhongwang was already dealt with, so these two remaining were easy pickings, right?

Whoosh!

As Chen Du fought the two, his eyes flashed, and a golden light shot out, heading straight for Zhou Xiaogu.

This golden light was Chen Du's first Mental Energy Awakening, War Stomp.

But unfortunately, Zhou Xiaogu seemed to have an auto-dodge cheat activated; without even looking, her body moved at a strange angle, precisely evading the attack.

"A coincidence?"

"Or..."

Chen Du looked at Zhou Xiaogu, who had calmly dodged the War Stomp, and mused, deep in thought.

Earlier, Zhou Xiaogu had said, "Chen Du, this time I will never be hit by your War Stomp again." Chen Du had briefly wondered if this statement was a certain outcome or just bravado.

He hadn't been able to test it before because of Gao Zhongwang, but now he could give it a try.

Buzz!

Blue instantly invaded Zhou Xiaogu's consciousness, and as Chen Du expected, her Mental Energy was lower than Long Shan's, only level 25.

The Domain, plus Nimble Cats Grace, plus Bloom, widened the gap between them to an insurmountable difference.

Chen Du directly used an Iron Mountain Lean, and Zhou Xiaogu's body was sent flying as if hit by a high-speed truck.

With a "bang," her body was embedded in a tall peak like a jigsaw puzzle.

Chen Du instantly used Hand of God to swap in front of Zhou Xiaogu, while Long Shan and the Demon God behind him also pursued upon seeing this.

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Chen Du looked at Zhou Xiaogu, who hadn't yet recovered, and directly pulled out five long swords, piercing her four limbs and stomach, firmly pinning her to the mountain peak.

After confirming she couldn't move, Chen Du didn't hesitate; golden light once again condensed in his eyes and shot towards Zhou Xiaogu's chest, giving the opponent no chance to dodge.

He wanted to see if Zhou Xiaogu could still avoid his War Stomp under these circumstances.

This time, Chen Du was fully prepared; Zhou Xiaogu indeed couldn't move, but the War Stomp still missed.

As the golden ray was about to hit her, it bent as if experiencing the refraction of water!

It bent for no reason, shooting towards the mountain behind.

"It really is like this."

Chen Du said faintly, with a hint of expectation.

It seemed that the methods once used to defeat them would be nullified here.

This meant that the statement made at the beginning was not just bravado.

This implied that he couldn't use the same tactics he had used to win against them before to win again.

Fortunately, his previous victories against Long Shan and Gao Zhongwang were due to other factors.

Pfft!

After confirming his suspicion, Chen Du cleanly plunged a sword into Zhou Xiaogu's heart.

She, like Gao Zhongwang, dissipated into ashes.

Chen Du dealt with the remaining Long Shan using the same method.

Although the opponent's Firefly Armor could give the already powerful Demon God the ability to constantly regenerate, under Chen Du's layers of suppression, he was ultimately no match.

This assessment stage was both difficult and not difficult.

Mainly, he had the Void Chains item, plus the storage capacity of Mental Restart's lethal dose, which allowed Chen Du a very high trial-and-error cost; otherwise, Gao Zhongwang would have been quite troublesome.

After eliminating the three, Chen Du once again took out the parchment.

[Challenger, congratulations on successfully passing the second stage 2/5]

[Received universal reward: Full status recovery]

[Received choice reward: 1: Leave this place immediately (Selecting this option allows you to immediately interrupt the assessment and depart)]

[2: Obtain one 'Variable Resource.' This resource is a one-time consumable that can 100% simulate the appearance, aura, and other states of any resource.]

[Usage: Clench it and imagine the target to imitate in your mind.]

[Note: The ability of this resource is only simulation, and it will disappear after one simulation. The simulated resource cannot be practically used.]

[3: Randomly receive one reward (its value is completely random)]

The universal reward, as before, was triggered first; the cooldown of Bloom and the lethal dose in his mind were all cleared.

According to the rules, Chen Du returned to his peak state.

The three options were still one to leave, one fixed, and one random.

Looking at these three options, Chen Du didn't hesitate and directly chose 2.

Option 1 was to leave; Chen Du couldn't possibly choose that, as he was here for the rewards. From the intensity of the second stage, it seemed to conform to the rules, without the chaotic situation of the first stage.

For the random reward in option 3, he had suffered from the qi and blood milk, receiving a reward as useless as a floor tile, which made Chen Du never dare to gamble again.

Moreover, this option 2 was actually useful to him.

Chen Du was just worrying about how to obtain source Qi, as, according to Reyn, this resource was completely random and extremely rare.

Now with the Variable Resource, it could perfectly solve the problem of drawing out the Heavenly Book Civilization.

After Chen Du confirmed his choice, a resource that looked like mud and seemed highly malleable descended from the sky and landed in his hand.

This was a one-time resource; Chen Du didn't dare to test it and immediately threw it into his storage space.

After confirming the reward, the information on the parchment changed again.

[Third stage assessment: Defeat Yan]

[As one who wishes to lead the High Martial Civilization to an even more glorious future, Yan is a leader you must surpass.]

[00:59:59]

The familiar countdown appeared again; one bar of power on his left wrist was lost, leaving three bars.

"Yan?"

The opponent for the third stage made Chen Du show a hint of confusion.

Normally, assessments would surely get progressively harder.

Although Yan was a leader, to be honest, he was just an ordinary Domain Warrior; if they were at the same level, he should be inferior to Gao Zhongwang.

"Could it be that I have to fight Yan as a Domain Warrior?"

This sudden thought made Chen Du frown involuntarily.
