Chapter 156: Chapter 96 Extra Earnings of the Technical Stream (Request for Monthly Ticket)_2

The test assesses the Challenger’s observation and judgement, and each wall in the labyrinth has slightly different Spiritual Patterns; a wrong turn could lead directly to entering a trap area and instant death.

It is evident that the temple trial is filled with risks of death.

In Ding Yu’s eyes, the Snake Ancestor’s actions seemed not so much about selecting Potential Warriors, but rather massacring the younger generations of his own kind.

He didn’t think much about this issue.

It could be understood as a game setting by the Moon Eclipse Clan.

This time, Ding Yu tried for the fourth time, and had already gained some understanding, so he walked toward the start of the labyrinth without hesitation.

After continuously analyzing and judging, Ding Yu reached the fourth trial platform 15 minutes later.

The difficulty of the fourth challenge soared steeply.

The challenge area contained a gigantic disk over a hundred meters in diameter, its surface engraved with intricate patterns, with a deep recess at the center that seemed to be a convergence point for some kind of Energy, which slightly vibrated with each flicker of light as if responding to some kind of call.

Around the rim of the disk, twelve doors were evenly placed, each door carved with different totems, some with roaring beasts, others with flying divine birds... the surfaces inlaid with crystals that shone in tandem with the glowing Spiritual Patterns on the disk.

This was Ding Yu’s first attempt at this challenge.

According to players on the forum, this challenge involved confronting 12 Illusion Realm Monsters, each representing a different attribute.

The monsters were neither solid nor energy constructs, they were more like projections.

Their attacks would not cause actual harm; the process of the challenge was more like rock-paper-scissors, involving preemptive judgment of each monster’s attribute, then standing before the totem of an opposing attribute to neutralize the monster’s attack.

If the judgment was incorrect, the center of the circle would release an Energy wave that would dissolve the Challenger.

This could be likened to the Five Elements Mutual Inhibition on Earth, similar to wood subduing earth, earth subduing water, water subduing fire, fire subduing metal, and metal subduing wood.

Players needed to stand at the center of the disk, and when they see a totem light up on any door, they had to quickly move to the door of the counteracting attribute and stand firmly.

Just like that, the challenge didn’t seem too difficult.

What was difficult was that as the challenge progressed, several totems would light up simultaneously, requiring participants to rapidly pivot back and forth among different totems, timing their movements to counteract the attacks.

Control of movement speed and timing was crucial to passing this challenge.

Guidance had already provided the answers on how to determine the attribute restraint relationship between different totems.

One simply needed to memorize the sequence of totem attributes provided by Guidance to easily determine.

In his first attempt, Ding Yu ended it unquestionably in failure.

One hour and twenty minutes later, he returned to the temple to continue the unfinished challenge.

Failure, isolation room, rebirth, Space Transmission, continue the challenge... This process repeated in cycles, each failure resulting in a loss of 15 points of sacrificial power.

Another three days of deadly repetition.

Ding Yu spent a total of 645 points of sacrificial power, but finally reached the tenth challenge.

The ultimate level of the temple trial.

In front of the platform was a stone wall that extended upwards indefinitely, and the Challenger had to climb the nearly vertical cliff, precisely catching hold of retracting slabs on the cliff, until reaching the Peak of Trial.

During the challenge, they would experience gravity suppression, bone-chilling ice, flame spitting, and storm howling among a series of sudden crises.

The tenth challenge took Ding Yu 27 hours, during which he continuously explored and tried.

He died 11 times before finally reaching the peak.

The moment he stood at the Peak of Trial, a beam of light shot out from the Snake Ancestor Statue in front and connected with his body.

Challenger Tips then resounded in his mind and through the regional channel:

[Challenger Tips (Region): Congratulations player "Time’s Yu" for completing the Snake Ancestor’s challenge trial, and receiving a sacrificial power reward of 1400 points]

The difficult trial challenge finally cleared, Ding Yu stood at the summit of the cliff, opened his arms wide and shouted in excitement looking down.

Emotions stirred waves.

The nerves that had been tense for many days were released at this moment, and the joy of victory surged like a tide.

A sense of indescribable achievement rose from the bottom of his heart, all the efforts and perseverance, culminating in this moment, were reciprocated.

Ding Yu’s mouth curved upwards involuntarily, his eyes sparkled with excitement and pride, affirming the countless times he had fallen and persevered.

The moment he completed the challenge felt like a rebirth after overcoming himself.

In fact, the benefits of this challenge weren’t great; he had wasted many days of Hunting time, spending it all on clearing the trial.

The energy drained and the pain endured were disproportionate to the gains.

Yet, the sense of accomplishment and joy derived from completing the challenge were beyond what Hunting Evil Spirits and the Insect Tide could bring.

He pulled up the forum and took a screenshot of the successful challenge notice, posting it on his personal homepage. This was his first milestone-like success in Monster World, worthy of remembrance.

Perhaps in others’ eyes, his actions were extremely foolish.

But this was his way of playing the game.

It was also why, after the appearance of assassin stream gameplay, he did not hesitate to change his Star Vein Combination to match the assassin stream.

The low margin of error was not a problem; he believed he could, through countless practices, move as gracefully amid the Insect Tide as the assassin players in the videos.

Just as he was ready to leave, a connection alert suddenly popped up.

Intrigued, he connected.

Nanny is also crazy: Bro, I watched your Strategy before and followed you, I saw you updated your profile just now, congratulations on completing the temple trial (envy.jpg)
