With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 739 : Soul Tower of Trial (15)

Once most people were healed up, the rest of the spirit beasts were defeated and the second wave ended.

But the moment that the second wave ended, the doors opened once again.

This time, it seemed like less doors than before opened, but that wasn't the main thing.

The main thing was the aura that was coming from these spirit beasts.

The second wave was an increase in quantity.

The third wave was an increase in quality.

There were only three hundred spirit beasts that came out, but all of them were at least in the Peak Qi Gathering Realm. There were even twenty of them that were in the Foundation Realm.

Though it was clear by the shaky aura that they gave off that they had only just broken through to the Foundation Realm. It was clear that they hadn't condensed their realms yet, so they would be weaker than normal Foundation Realm Experts.

Though it would still be more than enough for them to dominate normal cultivators in the Peak Qi Gathering Realm.

The thing was that no one here was normal.

All of them were geniuses that had been chosen to participate in this tournament in the first place, so there wasn't a single one of them who was normal. All of them were geniuses that could cross realms and fight, so it wouldn't be a problem for them to take on these spirit beasts.

The only real problem was…

This was just the third wave and there were spirit beasts of this level that were appearing.

If the level of the spirit beasts continued to increase like this, just what would the twentieth wave be like?

No…even before the last wave, it seemed like they had to worry about something else.

If even the third wave was like this, then what would the tenth wave be like?

What would the fifth wave be like?

There was no doubt that these waves would become harder and harder and at the rate that they were increasing…it seemed like they would only become stronger and stronger until they were too strong for them to fight.

It seemed like they would outpace them at any moment…

So they were worried about how they would last twenty waves.

Not to mention, if they were to allow any of the statues to be destroyed, that would mean that they would have to face an extra wave. They were already worried about the waves that they had to deal with, so they were certain that any extra waves would be deadly for them…

But would they be able to defend the statues?

Many of them were filled with worry as this thought passed through their minds.

None of them were fools, so they were able to figure this out quite easily.

The only problem was…it wasn't as if there was a way for them to solve this.

They were completely at the whims of the trial in the first place, so it wasn't as if there was anything that they could do to change any of this.

Even Huang Xie and the others from the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group were worried about this as well.

The third wave was dealt with slowly and carefully.

It seemed like everyone realized the danger that they were in, so they made sure to deal with these spirit beasts without consuming too much energy. At the same time, they seemed to be deliberately killing these spirit beasts slowly as if they wanted to stall for time.

This was a trial where they wanted to go as fast as possible so they could climb up sooner, but they had no choice but to go slow.

They needed that time to mentally adjust themselves and to prepare more defenses.

That was right, while some of them were fighting the spirit beasts, the others were building up more defenses.

The strange thing was that from the spirit beasts that they killed, there were materials that dropped. These were materials that were related to these spirit beasts, so they almost seemed like they were prizes for them to take.

If this was a game, there was no doubt that this loot came from killing these spirit beasts.

If Lin Fan was here, he would have had a strange look on his face.

With the items that the spirit beasts dropped, they were able to form quite powerful defenses.

It was just that there was no knowing what was going to come next.

Since there were only so many spirit beasts, they couldn't just hold on forever.

The spirit beasts only attacked and didn't bother healing, so they would eventually die from the wounds that were inflicted on them. Even the smallest wounds would add up and eventually become fatal.

So in time, the spirit beasts were killed.

Once the spirit beasts of the third wave were killed, the doors once again opened.

This time, they doubled and there were over six hundred doors that opened.

The aura that came from these doors were also stronger than before, but…they weren't as strong as everyone expected them to be.

Instead of releasing spirit beasts that were much stronger, it seemed like these spirit beasts were just as strong as the ones that came out before. Most of them were in the Peak Qi Gathering Realm while a small portion of them were in the Foundation Realm.

It seemed like there was no spirit beast that was stronger than this.

This was completely different from what they had expected the fourth wave to be like, so there were many people that were caught off guard because of this.

But that didn't mean that they would just let the spirit beasts do whatever they wanted.

With the defenses that they had set up, it was actually easier for them to take down these spirit beasts. With the defenses blocking the spirit beasts, it was actually easy for them to route them.

So in a sense, this fourth round was actually easier than the third round.

Though that did rouse their suspicion.

Why would the fourth round be easier than the third round?

That didn't seem to make sense at all.

Was it a trap to make them let their guard down for the fifth round?

Could it be that the fifth round would be filled with powerful spirit beasts that were meant to finish them off after catching them off guard with this fourth round?

So they didn't let their guards down for even a moment as they killed the spirit beasts slowly and built up even more defenses. They were planning on using this time to come up with strategies, but they soon realized that this was useless.

It was impossible for them to work together meaningfully with each other. They knew each other for too little time and there were grudges between them, so it was impossible for them to work together unless there was a leader controlling all of them.

As geniuses, they were naturally unwilling to fall under any leader, so it wasn't as if they would be able to agree to work together.

As such it would be impossible for them to actually work with each other.

Though there were many people that looked to those that came from the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect.

Those people were the ones that everyone recognized as the most unknown and most likely the most powerful.

So they were waiting to see what they would do.

During all of this, the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect group hadn't made a single move. All they did was let those whose soul fragments they controlled do all the work.

It was as if they weren't planning on moving at all during this trial.

But that wasn't the case.

They were observing everything since they knew that only through gathering information would they be able to clear this trial.

It was clear that there was something wrong with this trial, so all they could do was gather as much information as possible so they could tell what was wrong.

So far, all they could tell was that this trial seemed to encourage working together.

This made Huang Xie relieved that he had been collecting soul fragments the entire time.

But it didn't seem like this would be enough…

It was unknown what was waiting for them in the rest of the trial.

If they could get everyone to work together, this might be enough…but they knew that this was unlikely.

Eventually, the fourth wave also fell to them.

Even if there were more spirit beasts, it was impossible to keep them alive forever to stall for time. Not to mention, they didn't want to stall forever since they knew that their time was ticking down.

So eventually, the fourth wave was taken care of.

As soon as the fourth wave was taken care of, the doors once again opened.

This time, there were over a thousand doors just like in the second wave.

The only thing was…that they were still as powerful as the spirit beasts of the third and fourth waves. It seemed that the only thing that increased was the number of spirit beasts that came out, but not the quality of the spirit beasts.

Though this would make it a bit harder for them, they had already gotten into a groove in terms of dealing with spirit beasts that were at this level. As long as they didn't rush it, their defenses should allow them to take care of all these spirit beasts without a problem.

"Is this really it?" Someone couldn't help asking.
