Chapter 1550: Adaptive Ability Test!

"Splash!"

The Star Spirit’s voice vanished.

A massive Crystal Stone suddenly appeared in front of Qin Chen.

This Crystal Stone, about ten feet tall, was entirely snow-white, like a block of solid ice.

"Place your hand on the surface of the Crystal Stone to begin the test!"

A voice resonated by Qin Chen’s ear.

Qin Chen glanced back but saw nothing. He could only follow the direction of the voice and place his hand on the Crystal Stone wall.

"Buzz!"

The Crystal Stone immediately trembled briefly.

"First test, aptitude test, score: one hundred!"

"Next, the second test, adaptability test begins!"

In an Ancient Hall of the Star Summoning Ancient Realm.

An ugly, jellyfish-like unidentified creature saw this, showing a hint of surprise on its face: "Perfect aptitude?"

"Although I’ve been living for a thousand years as the Star Spirit, I’ve only seen one perfect aptitude, and now there’s another one?"

It was the Star Spirit.

The planner of this ’Burial Life Game’.

But suddenly.

Its expression tensed, and then it exclaimed aloud: "Another one?!"

The sound disappeared.

The scenery around Qin Chen abruptly changed.

At this moment.

Qin Chen found himself in a swamp, surrounded by desolation, with wilted weeds and broken branches everywhere.

"What is this supposed to do?"

Qin Chen looked around warily.

For the time being.

He didn’t perceive any danger.

Qin Chen wasn’t in a rush.

He remained motionless, waiting for things to unfold.

Yet.

A quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no change in his surroundings.

The longer it went on, the more uneasy Qin Chen felt.

"It looks like I can’t wait; I must take the initiative!"

Qin Chen immediately began to walk forward slowly.

Walking in the swamp is extremely dangerous; a single misstep could lead to sinking down.

However.

Qin Chen wrapped Elemental Power around his feet, allowing this Power to bear the weight of his entire body, ensuring safety.

"Swish!"

Just as Qin Chen took a step forward.

A cyan light beam suddenly shot from the left.

The speed was unbelievably fast.

Nevertheless.

Qin Chen had been vigilant for a while, and before the cyan light beam touched him, he immediately stepped sideways.

"Phew!"

The cyan light beam almost grazed Qin Chen’s body as it shot past.

It plummeted into the swamp, like a stone sinking in the sea.

"Since this test primarily focuses on adaptability! It might present sudden situations I can’t foresee or react to!"

Through the cyan light just now, Qin Chen seemed to have gleaned some insight.

"Swish!"

At that moment.

Under Qin Chen’s feet, a massive mouth suddenly extended, accompanied by a burst of foul odor.

It appeared aimed at swallowing Qin Chen, along with a mass of filthy matter.

"Boom!"

Qin Chen reacted without hesitation.

He unleashed a rebound force with his feet, propelling himself into the air.

"Swish!"

Simultaneously.

Two cyan light beams, one from the left and one from the right, shot toward Qin Chen.

Startled, Qin Chen immediately activated the "Divine Demon Collision," radiating golden light, to forcefully dash to a spot.

"Bang!"

The two cyan beams collided with each other, emitting a loud boom.

"Qin Chen, watch out!"

While Qin Chen was catching his breath.

Little Fairy suddenly exclaimed.

Qin Chen’s expression changed dramatically; without even checking around, he bolted forward.

"Boom!"

Then Qin Chen watched as the void where he had just stood suddenly collapsed, revealing a menacing space rift.

If not for Little Fairy’s warning.

Qin Chen might have been swallowed by the opened space rift.

"This... is real?!"

Previously, Qin Chen thought it was merely a simulated test, but now it seemed otherwise!

"The longer you endure, the greater the risk!"

"Of course, your score will be much higher afterward!" Little Fairy speculated.

"Swish swish swish swish!"

Just as Little Fairy finished speaking.

Simultaneously.

From the east, west, south, north, even from the ground and sky.

Dozens of cyan beams simultaneously shot toward Qin Chen.

Qin Chen’s face changed drastically, knowing he couldn’t dodge them all; he relied on his body’s twisting to narrowly evade these cyan beams.

"Swish! Swish!"

Qin Chen utilized the "Little Void Breaking Technique" to slow down the attack trajectories of these cyan beams, giving him utmost reaction time.

Unfortunately.

The speed of these cyan beams was too swift, and their numbers were considerable.

Even with the "Little Void Breaking Technique," it scarcely helped.

"Slash!"

After dodging four cyan beams, the fifth grazed Qin Chen’s arm.

Though it barely touched the skin on Qin Chen’s arm, it slit open his skin, exposing a bloody gash.

Simultaneously.

The sixth cyan beam was already shooting.

"Desolate Silence!"

Qin Chen gritted his teeth, wielded the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade, and slashed.

"Boom!"

Breaking that beam, the seventh struck Qin Chen’s body.

Even though Qin Chen’s physical body endured that shot, it left a flesh-torn blood seal.

"This is simply impossible for an ordinary person to dodge!"

Qin Chen couldn’t help but shout.

These beams, almost continuously shooting together, had blocked Qin Chen’s escape completely, leaving him no room to avoid.

"Qin Chen! Hold on!"

"Think about it! If you can’t endure, what about others? So if your endurance surpasses others, your score will far exceed theirs, giving you a greater advantage!"

Little Fairy encouraged Qin Chen.

Qin Chen gritted his teeth.

Though it felt like mere moments, it had pushed Qin Chen’s energy consumption to the extreme.

"Endure!"

Qin Chen twisted his body, tense and strained, with bulging veins visible on his neck.

His face blushed.

Even his skin was in a flushed state, as if filled with blood.

This was the response when a person was pushed to their limits.

"Swish swish swish!"

Cyan beams continued to endlessly shoot toward him.

Qin Chen’s arms, calves, abdomen, and back were already injured.

"Call out ’End’ to exit this test!"

The reminder echoed once more, seemingly noticing Qin Chen’s limit.

"I’m not at my limit yet!"

Qin Chen gritted his teeth, nearly crushing them.

Divine Power continuously surged from his Divine Veins, replenishing the immense energy drained with each breath.

His eyes were gradually turning bloodshot, filled with blood streaks.

"Swish!"

At that moment.

Two golden beams shot toward Qin Chen.

Inside the Ancient Hall, the Star Spirit viewed the scene of Qin Chen.
