Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 84 Do you understand the saying "strength can overcome skill"?

"boom!"

A series of explosions rang in Jiang Lan's ears, and the flashing lightning almost completely obscured his vision.

A few seconds later, the electric light slowly disappeared, revealing the scene inside the passage.

None of the seventeen men in black robes escaped; they all lay motionless on the ground.

Jiang Lan looked closely and realized that their bodies had also turned into the black liquid, slowly sinking into the ground and disappearing completely.

He took two steps forward and stood still in front of a spot where the black liquid had disappeared.

To Jiang Lan's disappointment, the system's voice did not sound this time.

So, in the system's view, those humanoid creatures from earlier don't fall into the category of those that can be sacrificed?

Or perhaps their bodies have already been absorbed by the ground, which is why the sacrifice prompt was not triggered.

Jiang Lan shook her head and stopped worrying about it.

Anyway, it's only equivalent to a dozen or so war gods. If he can't sacrifice himself, so be it. It's not a big loss for him.

Continuing along the fork in the road, after a few steps, nine more forks appeared in front of Jiang Lan, similar to the ones before.

Good grief, is this a maze?

Jiang Lan's temper flared up, and she aimed at the first fork in the road on the left, rushing in at full speed.

At a speed of over a thousand meters per second, in just over a second, nine more forks in the road appeared before him.

continue!

Jiang Lan seemed tireless, rushing forward again and again. In the end, he almost forgot how many times he had crossed this damned crossroads.

The only consolation was that, apart from those unidentified men in black robes, Jiang Lan hadn't encountered any other attacks.

After passing through two or three more forks in the road, Jiang Lan finally stopped.

It wasn't that he had arrived; he was just tired.

Even so, it's thanks to Jiang Lan's strong mental fortitude that she could cope. Otherwise, if someone else were to walk through this monotonous maze, they might have gone crazy long ago.

Jiang Lan frowned and looked up at the passageway.

Continuing down this path is not a solution.

You can get a Black God Set after clearing the game, but the problem is, he doesn't even know how to clear the game!

Just then, something unexpected happened.

"Whoosh—"

A series of transparent streams of light shone down, forming a crystal space five meters high and eight meters long and wide, which enveloped Jiang Lan before he could react.

Jiang Lan was stunned. The speed of the light was too fast; he had no time to react.

This is normal, after all, it's the speed of light. Even if Jiang Lan is a planet, let alone a star or even a cosmic star, he might not be able to react in time.

Confined within this crystal space, Jiang Lan remained calm and waited patiently.

As he expected, the familiar, incomprehensible voice soon rang out again.

Jiang Lan raised her wrist, and the watch displayed real-time translation.

"Your assessment mission, a death trap, has officially begun!"

"During this time, you will receive a supply of food and water."

"On the walls of the examination chamber are engraved the 312 basic secret techniques of the 'Master of Control' spiritual mastery. Only after you have learned them will you have the opportunity to break into the room and complete the examination."

The mysterious voice abruptly stopped there.

Jiang Lan looked up at the wall and saw that it was covered with a large number of intricate carvings, all of which were human figures, with accompanying text descriptions.

However, he didn't recognize any of these characters.

Seemingly knowing that Jiang Lan had seen the mural on the wall, the voice sounded again, and the communication watch software translated in real time.

"Mission objective: Break through the assessment chamber within three years!"

"If the secret chamber cannot be broken within three years, it is considered a failure."

"Failure means death!"

The sound disappeared again, and Jiang Lan tugged at the corner of her mouth.

He raised his wrist and used his communication watch to photograph everything on the mural.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Lan tightened his grip on the halberd slightly with his right hand.

His arm muscles bulged as he lifted his halberd high into the air and slammed it against the transparent crystal wall.

"Bang!"

With this powerful blow, the entire crystal room trembled slightly.

However, the wall remained sturdy and looked completely intact, without even a scratch.

Jiang Lan was not discouraged and took a deep breath.

Immense strength!

With the added strength, his power more than doubled.

Jiang Lan raised his halberd high once more and slammed it down on the crystal wall again.

"Bang!!"

This time, the crystal wall trembled even more violently, but it still didn't seem to be breaking. After the whole room trembled for a while, it returned to calm.

Jiang Lan's eyes flashed.

This thing is pretty hard.

However, since the mysterious voice said that this place can be broken, then it definitely can be broken.

After all, it's just a trial and assessment. If it's designed to be a situation where death is certain, then how can it be an assessment?

Jiang Lan gritted his teeth. He simply couldn't believe that he, a planetary-level martial artist with the support of the system's secret manual, could fail an assessment targeting a War God-level mentalist.

Are you kidding me?

Thinking of this, the small planet in Jiang Lan's dantian spun rapidly, emitting strange fluctuations, and the battle halberd in his hand was also covered with a layer of cyan-purple lightning.

That's not all. Once a martial artist reaches the planetary level, they can release their genetic energy to their advantage, thus achieving an effect against enemies.

Upon entering the planetary level, one's genetic energy possesses a force of one million kilograms, almost identical to that of the physical body.

Within his dantian, the small planet began to spin wildly once more, gathering power that remained contained and unleashed.

It's now!

Jiang Lan's expression turned solemn. At this moment, his attack was almost the most powerful attack he could deliver.

If he still can't break through that crystal wall, he'll have to settle for second best and learn that "312 style" that appeared on the wall earlier.

To be honest, Jiang Lan wasn't particularly interested in the abilities of a mentalist.

But if it's about survival, then it's a different story.

Without much time to think, Jiang Lan gripped the ground with both feet, generating power from the ground, transmitting it to his waist and abdomen, and then into his arms.

As he swung his battle halberd and slammed it down against the wall, the genetic energy within his dantian was also released, striking the crystal-like wall at the same time.

"boom!!!!!"

"Splash—"

With a deafening roar, Jiang Lan forcefully broke open the crystal-like room.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

The death test, it's nothing special.

Do you even know what it means to overcome all techniques with sheer force?

A spiritualist?

What kind of trash dares to try and cause trouble?

The crystal room was broken open, and a long silence fell over the surroundings.

After a long while, the mysterious voice rang out again.

Although Jiang Lan couldn't understand it, he could clearly feel the shock and emotion carried in the voice.

"XXX!XXXX!?"
