Pre-death assessment

The old man's voice trembled and became frantic.

It also carried a sense of helplessness and despair.

Now that he knew who Ling Wu was, he naturally knew he was doomed.

No wonder, no wonder Ling Wu knew about the existence of the Death God's clone seed.

No wonder Ling Wu was able to lead his teammates to clear the level so quickly.

No wonder he told everyone as soon as he arrived that this place was also called the Space of Regret, the purpose of which was to make the fruit slightly stronger before taking it.

The main reason he came to the pre-death assessment space was to remove the seven seals on his body!

The seven seals correspond to the seven assessment spaces.

Yes, the pre-death assessment space originally only had seven levels.

However, those twelve rulers forcibly added two layers, turning it into nine layers.

This is also why the twelve rulers could not interfere with the second to eighth levels no matter what.

At most, they can only forcefully pay a small price to interfere with the first level!

"So, what was that lightning kid all about?"

The old man then asked, "Why were there no beads inside his body after he died? Why do corpses disappear?"

"You've spent so much time in the pre-death assessment space, you shouldn't be asking such a simple question."

Ling Wu looked at the old man.

The old man belatedly realized what was happening, then gave a bitter smile: "So that's how it is, is he a summoned creature?"

"I never expected you to have a conscience, choosing to use a summoned creature instead of a living person to seize the fruits of your labor?"

He took a deep breath as he spoke.

Now he understands everything.

I also know that I have reached the end.

"Aren't you a living person?" Ling Wu smiled faintly.

Swish!

The next moment, he moved instantly to the old man's side, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him high into the air.

The old man's body was emitting a frenzied black aura, but at this moment, the black aura that could decompose all materials failed to cause Ling Wu any harm.

The power of the Death God's clone seed is slightly greater than that of a fifth-realm expert.

This old man was weaker than a fifth-realm expert.

The power of the clone seed is equivalent to a seal on Ling Wu's body.

Therefore, this old man is certainly weaker than Ling Wu now.

"In the pre-death assessment space, it's best not to kill unless absolutely necessary."

Ling Wu gripped the old man's neck: "But you still haven't gotten rid of this bad habit."

"Every man for himself, or he'll be damned by heaven and earth..." the old man's hoarse and weak voice rang out.

"But if a person is too selfish, they will be condemned by heaven and earth!"

Ling Wu said it indifferently.

The next moment, a dark red aura surged forth.

The black aura on the old man's body was completely submerged by the dark red aura.

Then his entire body was enveloped and eroded by a dark red aura.

Finally, with a loud bang, it was like a person engulfed in flames exploding.

His path to survival has come to an end!

Ling Wu then threw his corpse, which had been melted by the dark red aura and was almost reduced to a skeleton, onto the ground.

Then, four beads were taken out of his chest cavity.

The beast summoning ability at the hour of Xu (7-9 PM).

The decomposition system of Hai hour.

The speed system at Mao hour (5-7 AM).

The life system of Shen Shi (3-5 PM).

Ling Wu left only one life-type, and had the others bind themselves to him with his blood.

Then, the dark red aura emanating from his body subsided.

The six ancient nails that had appeared, as well as the ancient sealing formation that had enveloped the entire body, also disappeared.

"Big...Big Brother..."

Just then, a voice rang out.

Ling Wu looked up and saw Zhou Haonan standing not far away.

They were unable to participate in Lei Zhenyu's previous major battle.

Later, during the great battle between the old man and Ling Wu, he wondered if he could play any role, so he joined in.

As a result, they witnessed this scene involving Ling Wu.

What secrets is Ling Wu hiding?

To be honest, even if he saw and heard everything, he didn't realize that the old man's desperate roar was real.

But he also didn't know what was going on.

This Ling Wu seems to be some kind of important figure?

However, no one knew!

Ling Wu looked at Zhou Haonan and continued, "The remaining laser guns in the base are all yours. You can team up with Lei Zhenyu and the rest of their teammates. They shouldn't refuse you now."

"Hmm... okay." Zhou Haonan chuckled and nodded.

"From now on, wherever you go, try your best not to kill anyone!"

Ling Wu said one last thing.

Then, no time was wasted.

A circle of light appeared beneath his feet, and then he vanished, heading towards the third level.

This second major battle has now come to an end.

As Ling Wu left, Zhou Haonan was left standing alone.

He stared at the spot where Ling Wu had disappeared, deep in thought.

So who exactly is Ling Wu? What earth-shattering secret does he harbor?

Oh well, I guess I'll never see him again.

After all, at my own speed, how could I possibly catch up with them?

Hopefully, they can successfully break through the nine-layered assessment space...

……

pale!

This is a pale, steel world.

The earth was pale, the rocks were pale.

Everything seemed to be made of pale metal, hard and textured.

The first person to arrive here was Liu Ruyan.

She struggled to her feet from the pale, metallic ground.

At this moment, she had not yet recovered from the second injury she had sustained.

After she got up, she scanned her surroundings.

As far as the eye can see, there is a desolate landscape of mountains and land, all made of pale metal.

"Is this... the third level?"

Just as Ling Wu said, once they got down there, even the earth was made of this moonstone metal.

If one hadn't been able to resist the metal's second layer of immunity, upon arriving here, one would be nothing more than a mortal.

"What is this third... level of assessment?"

Liu Ruyan then looked up at the sky.

That's right, this is no longer a white dome, but the real sky.

There are blue skies and white clouds.

Moreover, looking towards the farthest reaches of this world, there are no boundaries.

This doesn't seem like a single space, but rather a truly complete world.

However, this world is a metal world.

Liu Ruyan was confused, as there were no assessment prompts on the sky.

There was no system voice in my head.

So... how do I pass the assessment?

"They don't know when they'll come down."

Liu Ruyan scanned her surroundings and found a protruding steel boulder to sit on, where she waited patiently.

I knew nothing about this third level of assessment space.

Moreover, since there were no exam questions, there was naturally no direction to take.

Let's wait until Ling Wu comes down before we talk about it.

Once they take care of that big guy, they should be able to come down.

However... that big guy doesn't seem to be a match for even Lei Zhenyu, who has reached the fifth realm.

She was really curious about how Ling Wu planned to solve the problem.

Furthermore, Ling Wu said she should thank Lei Zhenyu because this was something she should have done.

Could it be... if it weren't for Lei Zhenyu, Ling Wu was planning to send him to deal with that big guy?

"hiss……"

Liu Ruyan suddenly hissed.

She suddenly realized something: "Could it be that when he recruited me into his team in the first level, he already planned to use me for this kind of thing in the second level?"

Damn! Isn't this just being a jerk?

Was his initial purpose in inviting me to join to sacrifice myself?

Although... it doesn't necessarily have to be a sacrifice.

But the probability of sacrifice is very, very high, right?

After all, that giant infant could inflict real injuries. Even if he reached the fifth realm, he would still be no match for Lei Zhenyu.

Hmm... I'll have to ask Ling Wu about this later.

No, no need to ask!

If Lei Zhenyu doesn't come down in a while, it means Lei Zhenyu is dead.

Then there's no need to mention this matter!

It was Lei Zhenyu who died in his place!

Rumble...

Just then, when Liu Ruyan was feeling down all by herself.

Suddenly, the entire steel ground began to tremble.

Liu Ruyan quickly stood up, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: "What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

The next moment, the ground beneath her feet began to rise into the air, bit by bit.

Then, a colossal steel beast rose from the earth.

This is a colossal steel beast that resembles a tiger, its entire body made of white metal, and it is hundreds of meters tall.

And the spot where Liu Ruyan was sitting just now was merely the...brow of this steel tiger?

"What the hell is that monster?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes widened immediately.

Does this mean that this world of steel, this land of steel, is always teeming with these steel beasts?

Just then, the tiger seemed to have also noticed Liu Ruyan's presence.

Immediately, a huge steel tiger tail lashed out at Liu Ruyan.

Without saying a word, Liu Ruyan transformed into a fire phoenix and soared into the sky.

Only when she reached the heavens and looked down did she see that, in the place where she had just been, besides the tiger, there was something else...

Those mountains, those uneven lands, are all made up of all sorts of steel beasts.

When they lie on the ground, their steel structures fit together perfectly.

Now, the herds of beasts have revived.

Swish!

Just then, while Liu Ruyan was still in shock.

A massive steel falcon, tens of meters long, swooped down on her.

Liu Ruyan quickly turned and flew away.

Although these things can't hurt her unless they inflict real damage, she can't stay in this kind of place forever.

"Is this third level of the pre-death assessment space Cybertron?"

Liu Ruyan was somewhat depressed.

Everywhere you look, there are steel beasts. What else could this be but a world of Transformers?

Whoosh... Bang!

Just then, a missile suddenly burst from a distance and slammed into the falcon.

Although the missile explosion failed to harm the falcon, the shockwave blasted it away a distance.

Liu Ruyan looked ahead and saw a strangely shaped, high-tech fighter jet formation flying towards her.

"Is anyone there?"

Liu Ruyan was immediately delighted.

Just then, the fighter jets flew up to her side.

The driver inside made a gesture to her.

Then the hatch at the rear of the main unit opens.

Without saying a word, Liu Ruyan flew inside and the hatch closed.

The entire formation turned around on the spot and flew away into the distance, escaping the scene...
