Pre-death assessment

They fought their way through the nine layers of hell and returned to the mortal world; they are heroes.

However, in order to achieve this goal, they killed countless people along the way.

So, is he a sinner or a hero?

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly and looked at Ling Wu, who was standing next to her.

"We are neither heroes nor sinners."

Ling Wu simply said slowly, "We are just walking a path we have no choice but to walk."

In the first level, if he wanted to reach the second level, he could only use Alice to kill a thousand people; that was the only way.

Now that we're in the second level, to advance to the third level, we must kill enough hunters.

To be honest, Ling Wu is not a person who enjoys killing.

Many times, it's something we have to do out of necessity!

Therefore, there is no right or wrong.

There is no such thing as a good person or a sinner.

Li Qingxue looked at Ling Wu's face, lost in thought.

Perhaps... it is indeed because my thinking is too naive that I feel uneasy.

I should learn from him; no matter what I face or what I do, I remain calm and composed.

Perhaps after experiencing many things myself in the future, I will become like him, unfazed by anything.

……

The past few days have passed quickly.

In the past few days, Ling Wu and the others have not participated in any hunting.

They only come out to watch the show occasionally; they don't waste any extra energy on anything else.

Once everyone is in good condition, it's time to bring out the hidden boss...

The main gate of the base.

Ling Wu led everyone out.

Next, the second level of the pre-death assessment space, the final battle!

"Speaking of which... since other superpowers also have different levels of attainment..."

At this moment, Li Ming clenched his fist, somewhat curious: "What level of power-type ability user am I now?"

And Dr. Lu's defense, and Ling Wu's enhancement, are they both at what level?

"Two to three realms," Ling Wu replied.

In the end, the first four realms are nothing more than mastering the skill level.

Moreover, this level of proficiency can be inherited.

For example, if you snatch a bead from someone else, you can inherit their proficiency and overall strength.

Therefore, Li Ming's strength, Dr. Lu's defense, and Ling Wu's enhancement are all at the same level as the three people from the first island nation, at the second or third realm.

Reaching the fifth realm is a true breakthrough!

Moreover, the Five Realms cannot be inherited.

One can inherit the power of the four realms at most.

"So low?"

Li Ming frowned slightly: "If someone at the second or third realm can already fight against a high-level hunter, how powerful would they be at the fifth realm?"

"Heh, you can handle high-level hunters at the second or third realm, but I can't even handle them at the fourth realm..."

Liu Ruyan frowned, standing to the side: "So what's the meaning of this?"

Li Ming only needs to be at the second or third level to take down a high-level hunter.

Despite being a fourth-level fire elemental expert, she was unable to directly confront a high-level hunter…

Why should I?

"That's because I've become immune to the Hunter's restraints, and with the help of the Captain and Dr. Lu, I was barely able to deal with it."

Li Ming explained, "Now, if you were to face a high-level hunter, wouldn't you be invincible?"

Liu Ruyan then smiled and said, "That's true..."

Previously, it was impossible to confront the hunters directly, but now it is entirely possible.

Since I am no longer countered by the hunters, I am practically invincible.

No matter what methods those hunters use, they absolutely cannot harm themselves.

And with its intense heat continuing, it should be able to harm them...

"Why should we get involved with Lei Zhenyu and the hidden boss of the second level of this assessment space?"

At this moment, Li Qingxue looked at Ling Wu with curiosity.

If it's a hidden boss, then it must be extremely powerful.

As Ling Wu said before, this is Lei Zhenyu's own business.

Why would their team help Lei Zhenyu?

Is it really just because Lei Zhenyu is Lei Yun's younger brother?

Ling Wu must have... other reasons, right?

"If we don't get involved, he won't have the slightest chance," Ling Wu said calmly.

"Even if one reaches the fifth realm, there's still no chance?"

Everyone frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.

If even the thunder of the Five Realms couldn't defeat that hidden BOSS, just how powerful must it be?

Did Ling Wu really think things through before leading everyone into this level of battle?

Just then, two people walked up to us.

It was Lei Yun who brought Lei Zhenyu.

"Come on, brother-in-law, I'm at my peak right now!"

Lei Zhenyu was rubbing his hands together, looking very energetic.

He has indeed made ample preparations.

Next, it's time to show off your shining moment as the chosen one.

Lei Yun, standing beside her, showed no expression.

Ling Wu had already told her that Lei Zhenyu had to die!

So what will happen next is self-evident.

She had also made all the necessary mental preparations.

Ling Wu glanced at Lei Yun once, then returned his gaze to Lei Zhenyu.

He then raised his hand and placed it on Lei Zhenyu's shoulder: "Next, I will use all the enhancement power I have available to strengthen you."

"This will allow you to reach the fifth realm, but it won't last very long."

"It will probably only take about half an hour."

"So you must defeat the hidden boss here within half an hour; you only have one chance!"

"We will help you as much as possible, but ultimately you will have to rely on yourself."

"If that hidden boss appears and we can't defeat him, we'll all die, and your sister will die too!"

"Do you understand? This is the final battle, where everyone's lives are at stake!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Zhenyu's expression became extremely serious, and he nodded emphatically.

As the chosen one, I will protect everyone around me no matter what.

"Come on, first mobilize the lightning within your body and try to break through to the fifth realm."

Ling Wu continued.

Lei Zhenyu nodded again, then clenched his fists.

Then, lightning gradually began to brew within his body.

Just as he was making his decision, Ling Wu turned around and walked towards everyone.

Then he gathered everyone together and whispered, "In a moment... we'll see how things go. If anything unexpected happens, we'll head straight to the third level to save our own lives."

Everyone has now met the requirements to proceed and can move on to the third level at any time.

So if you really can't win a fight later, you can run away first; saving your life is the most important thing.

Everyone nodded emphatically.

So Ling Wu never intended to lead everyone to risk their lives for Lei Zhenyu; he just wanted to lend a hand.

If you can help, then help; if you can't, then get out of there.

There's nothing wrong with that, of course.

Moreover... that's already more than enough.

After all, Lei Zhenyu and he actually had no connection whatsoever.

Then, Ling Wu wasted no time and walked up to Lei Zhenyu.

He raised his hand and placed it on Lei Zhenyu's shoulder: "Feel it with your heart, and you will become the only fifth-realm expert among the top three in this pre-death assessment space."

After saying that, he poured all his enhancement power into Lei Zhenyu without reservation.

Furthermore, this enhancement time has been condensed to half an hour.

This is the most extreme enhancement that Ling Wu has achieved so far!

With Ling Wu's enhancement, Lei Zhenyu immediately felt the vast thunder within his body being instantly ignited and activated.

He could clearly sense that his lightning power was about to undergo an unprecedented breakthrough.

We are about to break through a bottleneck that has never been overcome before!

"Yes, it really works!"

Lei Zhenyu's face was filled with excitement, and lightning crackled wildly in his eyes.

The next moment... Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening roar filled the second level of the pre-death assessment space.

A dazzling pillar of lightning suddenly shot into the sky, piercing straight into the heavens.

Then, it spread across the sky and enveloped everything around it.

In that instant, the entire second level of the pre-death assessment space seemed to have been completely transformed into a pool of lightning.

Rolling lightning, pulsating wildly across the sky.

The sound of thunder and lightning echoed continuously throughout the assessment space.

Everyone in the entire pre-death assessment space felt the terrifying thunder that was almost earth-shattering.

Under the raging lightning, everyone felt so small.

Everyone was looking up at the sky filled with lightning, gazing in the direction from which the lightning pillar shot into the heavens.

"What...what happened? Why does it feel like the entire space is completely covered by lightning?"

No one knew what had happened.

This terrifying lightning truly covered the entire second level of the pre-death assessment space.

It's as if the entire second level of the pre-death assessment space has now become a domain of thunder.

Who is making a big fuss here and causing such a strange phenomenon?

"That over there... seems to be Ling Wu's base?"

Someone noticed the direction of the towering lightning pillar, which seemed to be the location of Ling Wu and his group's base.

What incredible thing are Ling Wu and the others doing?

Since they arrived here, the second level of the assessment space has been anything but peaceful...

The direction of the base.

After the thunder roared and pounded wildly for a long time, the pillar of lightning gradually dissipated.

Then, Lei Zhenyu was revealed inside.

At this moment, Lei Zhenyu's figure had already soared into the air, with violent lightning coiling around his body.

His long hair was now standing on end, and coupled with his fierce, lightning-like eyes, he looked like a god of thunder.

"So this is... the Five Realms? Hahahaha!"

Lei Zhenyu couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As he laughed, the rolling lightning throughout the world roared with a deafening boom.

He felt as if he were a god in the heavens, looking down upon all living beings.

He felt that if he wanted, he could instantly cover the earth with lightning and completely shatter the vast second level of the pre-death assessment space.

In a truly earth-shattering way!

This is... the feeling of being strong!

"bring it on!"

The next moment, he spread his hands, looked up to the sky and roared, "What hidden BOSS? Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, my lightning will shatter him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden, buzzing vibration occurred.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, another astonishing scene suddenly unfolded.

The giant purple-gold-red bell, which had always hovered in the sky since ancient times, suddenly descended from the heavens.

Then, with a loud clang, it struck the ground where lightning was crackling.

The ancient and enormous bell was more magnificent than any other building in the entire pre-death assessment space.

The next moment, the giant bell suddenly emitted a purple-gold-red halo.

Under that halo of light, the entire giant bell gradually transformed into... an egg!
