While Wen Yu was deep in thought, all the practitioners present gathered in front of the Exchange Stone Pillar, and flashes of teleportation light appeared from time to time.
This was the mark of the promotion challenge.
In the first battle of entering the treasure land, both Chu Ziling and Jiang Wentao directly advanced to third-level practitioners.
The rest of the group, even if they did not level up, earned a considerable amount of points and significantly enhanced their physical qualities.
"What's wrong? You look troubled," a calm voice came from beside him.
Wen Yu opened his eyes and looked at the person asking.
It was William.
"Nothing..." Wen Yu replied dismissively.
"Do you have something to say?"
"I wanted to suggest that the remaining practitioners should unite. You should have seen the battle just now; it posed no threat to the two of us at the third level, but it was a significant threat to the second-level practitioners. I believe that if we unite, we can all survive this trial!"
William directly sat next to Wen Yu and spoke to him.
Wen Yu stroked his chin, deep in thought.
He wasn't contemplating William's suggestion; rather, he was considering the nature of this trial.
"Don't you think that this trial is overly simple for us two?"
"Hmph."
William snorted heavily.
"The simplicity you're referring to is based on the fact that over half of the practitioners have died. You think it’s simple, but I feel that based on the intensity of the recent battle, no one can withstand continuous attacks for three days without rest!"
There was a hint of anger in William's words!
This was his dissatisfaction with Wen Yu.
With Wen Yu's strength, if he had fully unleashed his power, there would have been no need for so many to die!
Wen Yu slowly shook his head, showing no response to William's frustration.
The recent battle was on an entirely different level compared to the demonic disaster in Wen Yu's memories!
In his previous life, the demonic disasters Wen Yu experienced, both in scale and duration, were far more intense than this one!
According to the available information, this was already the demonic clan's all-out attack on the Silver Moon Clan, but what Wen Yu saw was merely a petty skirmish!
"Something still feels off," Wen Yu's frown deepened!
The brief battle felt to him like a game.
If this was truly the trial, it barely counted as despair or destruction for Wen Yu.
This was merely the treasure land guardian handing out points!
Just as Wen Yu was seriously contemplating the meaning of this trial, the walls behind him suddenly began to shake.
As the walls trembled, the black bricks slowly parted, and the entrance through which Wen Yu and the others had entered was now opened.
Varshi's massive figure appeared before everyone.
"The task has changed!"
As Varshi's low voice echoed, Wen Yu's right eyelid began to twitch uncontrollably.
"I'll give you thirty minutes to sort out the gains from this battle, then I will come to get you!"
After giving a brief explanation, Varshi's figure once again disappeared behind the wall.
"What’s going on?"
William furrowed his brows, looking at the spot where Varshi vanished.
Wen Yu's sense of unease grew stronger.
"I'm afraid the real trial task is about to begin."
After Varshi finished speaking, Wen Yu understood that the battle just now was merely the first wave of tests, or perhaps a wave of benefits.
Eliminate the weak while making the strong even stronger!
"Although I don’t know what the next task will be, uniting is definitely necessary."
After hearing Varshi's words, Wen Yu spoke directly to William.
"Yeah."
William also sensed Wen Yu's tension and nodded in agreement.
...
Thirty minutes passed in a flash.
All practitioners had already transformed the gains from the recent battle into strength.
Under William's organization, all practitioners quietly awaited the task that Varshi had mentioned.
The wall opened once more, and Varshi's figure slowly walked in.
"Follow me!"
After saying a simple sentence, Varshi turned and walked directly onto the lift inside the wall.
