âThis power ... It can easily defeat the previous me.â
Lu Yuan clenched his fists and muttered to himself.
He had not expected to gain so much from entering the remains this time. The improvement was too great.
âWith my current physical strength, I should be able to use the Moonstone, right?â
Lu Yuanâs eyes lit up, and he took out the Moonstone from the battle rune space.
With a thought, the Moonstone turned into a green light and merged into Lu Yuanâs body.
In the white mist, a huge gene chain stood.
The shadow of the Moonstone appeared around the gene chain, and a dark green light flowed and slowly integrated into the gene chain.
Lu Yuan could feel a powerful force entering his body.
His skin, bones, muscles, and internal organs were all improving rapidly.
It only stopped when it increased by about 30%.
He could feel that his body had become tougher, more powerful, and more agile.
This was an all-rounded improvement.
âIs this the buff from the chieftain equipment? Itâs so strong!â
He revealed a surprised smile. âEven if itâs a soldier with the same elite gene, Iâm afraid that even if his refining is 10% or 20% higher, he might not be my match, right?â
âBeep!â
Just as Lu Yuan was pleasantly surprised, the voice in the sky rang out again.
âIt has been detected that trial XI9201 has passed the Level 4 Elite Trial and has obtained the right to open the Trial of Geniuses. Do you want to open it?â
Lu Yuan was shocked and came back to his senses from the surprise of his improvement.
âThereâs a higher level trial? The trial of geniuses?â
âIn other words, I canât be considered a genius yet?â
Lu Yuan had thought that he was already a genius.
His eyes flickered, and he revealed a confident smile.â
âSince weâve come this far, letâs see what the Trial of Geniuses is like. Begin the Trial of Geniuses!â
Lu Yuan was very confident now.
He felt that he was very strong now.
âBoom!â
A loud boom came from the sky, which was different from the original mechanical sound.
This time, a high-pitched voice was heard.
âParticipant XI9201, begin the Genius Trial!â
...
Outside the Stonemone tower, in the ruins.
At this moment, the number of genetic warriors outside the tower had increased.
Next to Zhuo Ming and the golden-haired young man was an ordinary-looking man with short black hair.
He was also one of Zhuo Mingâs teammates.
At this moment, a voice rang out,â
âTrial-taker AS22203, initiating the elite trial!â.
The golden-haired youth said,â
âAnother person has entered the elite trial. This is the 19th one, right?â
âYes, the 19th one.â
Zhuo Ming nodded.
A man with short black hair said,
âThe leader hasnât come out yet. I wonder if the elite trial has been activated?â
âI think itâs definitely open! 100 stone golems are definitely no match for our leader, but our leader is a Guardian-type after all. It will take a lot of time to kill 100 stone golems. Perhaps this AS22203 is our leader. â
Zhuo Ming analyzed.
âItâs possible. â
The golden-haired youth nodded.
âAh, but Amy and the others havenât come out yet. With their strength, Iâm afraid they canât pass the level 3 trial. If he didnât come out after such a long time, he should have died and left. â
The man with short black hair sighed.
Zhuo Ming and the golden-haired youth were silent.
The blonde young man shook his head. âIf Amy and the others didnât say anything, little Yuâs strength must be over level two. He hasnât come out yet. Iâm afraid he canât hold back from challenging level three. The level 3 trial is definitely not something he can pass. â
âIâm still too greedy. â
Zhuo Ming also smiled, âif you die, youâll have nothing.I finally understand that in the land of origin, the greedier you are, the easier it is for you to die. Every time you die, you will not be able to enter the land of origin for at least a few weeks. This will create a huge gap between you and the others. â
âYeah,â The blonde youth laughed. âUnfortunately, sometimes peopleâs greed canât be controlled by themselves.â
Zhuo Ming and the young man with short black hair nodded in agreement.
Donât they know that they shouldnât be greedy?
However, when faced with such a situation, it was not something that could be controlled just because he wanted to.
âBoom!â
Just as they were talking, a loud boom suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked up at the sky in surprise.
Zhuo Mingâs eyes widened, âwhat happened? Is there thunder?â
The golden-haired youth was dumbfounded, âThereâs thunder in the ruins?â
Just as they were in a daze, a loud voice rang out.
âParticipant XI9201, has begun the Genius Trial!â
â...â
Outside the ruins, the atmosphere suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
A moment later, the crowd was in an uproar.
The kobolds, elves, catmen, and humans all exclaimed in shock.
âThe Trial of Geniuses? Isnât it the elite trial?â
âCould it be that itâs of a higher level than the elite trial?!â
âWait ... XI9201? Isnât this trial-taker the first one to start the elite trial?â
âNumber XI9201 ... Who is he?â
âA human? Elf, Cat-Man, or dog-head man?â
âHe should be a famous expert, right?â
Everyone was discussing animatedly, trying to guess who this XI9201 who was the first to open the elite trial and now the genius trial was.
...
Within the Stonemone tower.
After Lu Yuan started the trial of geniuses, on the gray-white ground about 20 meters in front of him, a completely black stone man slowly formed.
After the black stone man appeared, it did not rush toward Lu Yuan immediately.
The movement of his hands and feet seemed to be as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water. It was different from the stone golems in the previous trial, and there was no feeling of stiffness at all.
They seemed to be living people.
The stone man spread his feet apart, clenched his fists, and made a strange fist gesture at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was stunned.
Was this a body technique?
The stone golems in the Trial of Geniuses actually knew how to use body techniques?
While Lu Yuan was still in a daze, the stone man stomped on the ground and charged at Lu Yuan like a black shadow.
He crossed the 20-meter distance in an instant and arrived in front of Lu Yuan.
The black stone manâs face was expressionless. He twisted his body and exerted force, his right fist punching towards Lu Yuan.
Boom!
A gale swirled around his fist, bringing with it an extremely powerful force.
Lu Yuanâs pupils constricted.
Such speed!
Such force!
He didnât even have the time to raise his sword. His whole body tensed up as he slapped the black stone manâs arm.
The stone manâs fist moved to the side and brushed past Lu Yuanâs ear.
The strong wind cut a few strands of Lu Yuanâs hair, making his face hurt.
Not only that, but his palm was also a little numb from the impact.
After missing its first punch, the black stone man stomped on the ground and took another step forward. It raised its left knee and hit Lu Yuanâs abdomen heavily.
Lu Yuan was sent flying backward for more than ten meters. He staggered a few steps back on the ground before he could stabilize himself.
A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth, and his face was slightly pale.
He felt an excruciating pain in his abdomen, as if all his internal organs were ruptured.
This was the opponent of the trial of geniuses?
He was too strong!
Lu Yuan was extremely shocked.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the black stone man turned into a black shadow again and charged at him before he could even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Lu Yuanâs pupils constricted, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.
Damn it! You donât even leave a way out?
He gripped his heavy sword tightly with both hands and took a step forward. His black iron body was activated to its limit, and he activated the force exertion method of the military body killing sword. The heavy sword slashed forward.
Lu Yuan, who had greatly improved, was also extremely fast. He drew a black light in the air, and the sword wind was extremely sharp.
However, when the heavy sword was close to the black stone man, his body twisted strangely. His body shook and he took a step sideways, but his speed did not slow down at all. He rushed to Lu Yuan again.
Lu Yuanâs eyes narrowed slightly. He exerted force with both hands, and the sword changed its momentum, drawing an arc in the air and slashing at his neck.
The black stone man suddenly reached out his left hand and touched Lu Yuanâs heavy sword. With a slight movement, Lu Yuanâs heavy sword was deflected.
He clenched his right fist and punched Lu Yuanâs chest.
BOOM!
Lu Yuanâs chest felt tight, and his bones made cracking sounds.
The huge force sent him flying back more than ten meters, and he fell heavily to the ground.
A sharp pain came from his chest, and Lu Yuanâs expression turned ugly.
His chest bone was broken.
Even with my strong defense, I canât block it?
How could this bastardâs attack be so strong?
Before Lu Yuan had time to think, the roar sounded again.
The black stone man appeared in front of him and stomped his right foot heavily on Lu Yuanâs head.
The hair on Lu Yuanâs back stood on end as he broke out in a cold sweat.
He rolled and dodged to the side.
The black stone manâs feet stepped on the ground. When he moved his feet away, the ground had a thin spider-web like crack.
