What does this mean? A few people didn't quite understand, but they carefully observed the nine rows of life forms above.
"Look over there." Pao Bai suddenly pointed at the ninth row on their diagram.
Jie Su glanced over and seemed a little dazed.
Ye Zhongming nodded, "It really is them."
He had noticed it before Pao Bai shouted. Above their diagram were two clear silhouettes, those of Little Brother Jiu and Wen Hong.
"Look, there are numbers too!"
Because these diagrams varied in size, the most eye-catching were the shapes rather than the text. Initially, everyone's attention was drawn to these shapes until Pao Bai pointed to the short text at the lower right corner of these shapes, and only then did they realize there were short phrases there.
"This is... the number of combinations that have passed the test?"
Although Jie Su spoke in a questioning tone, everyone knew it was a confirmed fact, as the presence of Little Brother Jiu and Wen Hong made it clear.
They just didn't expect that they weren't the favored ones by the heavens; nine groups of people had entered before them and undergone trials.
They looked again at the text, which should record the number of tests each had passed, as the number marked at the lower right corner of the Three People and One Dragon diagram was 3-3. This likely represented their completion of the third round, third match.
The group naturally shifted their gazes upwards, towards the numbers of Little Brother Jiu and Wen Hong.
Their number was also 3-3.
Just like them?
From what Ye Zhongming had said, these two didn't possess high strength. How did they manage to pass the tests?
Unable to figure it out, the group could only look up again.
Each set of diagrams in the ten rows represented different numbers of participants in the trials, with some having as few as one person and others exceeding a hundred. However, results did not correlate with quantity; the hundred-member team in the second row had only passed two complete trials. After that, they likely perished in the 3-1 trial.
Their diagram was dim, while the diagrams for Ye Zhongming and Wen Hong were bright.
They looked up again; among the ten rows, besides them, another row was shining brightly: the third row, a team of five. However, not all of them were shining; three had already dimmed, clearly indicating they had died.
Those who didn't pass the tests must have perished.
That particular group was also the one that had passed the most trials, with 8-3 written above them.
They actually passed the fifth round!
This was something the group found difficult to comprehend. Were they peak experts?
Only beings of that level could pass through a full eight rounds of trials, right?!
"I just want to know why the voice asking us to choose to leave hasn't appeared yet," Pao Bai sighed.
They had observed that these two life forms were unfamiliar to everyone; they were likely not renowned experts among the All Races of the Universe. Of course, whether they were undercover experts was unknown, as many races could not be distinguished by appearance.
"I have a bad feeling," Ye Zhongming said, a sense of foreboding creeping in.
"Entering the fourth phase of the trial, please choose to continue or give up."
The anticipated voice arrived, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
Although they had already made a decision, the Three People and One Dragon exchanged glances and still decided to give up.
However, Ye Zhongming stopped everyone, preventing them from making an immediate choice.
He realized that the reward points for the last trial hadn't been given yet. If they chose to give up directly, wouldn't they be teleported away immediately? Each person would likely lose an average of ten thousand fuleira, which was too much.
Yet, there was no response, no explanation, only the prompt to choose to continue or give up.
"Is this so unintelligent?" Pao Bai, after trying many methods without getting a response, was so frustrated that he wanted to hit the energy gate.
"Let's just go; there's nothing we can do about the loss," Jie Su said after trying as well.
