Ding!

[You have completed the Great One's Trial!]

[Total kills: 7,945]

[Congratulations! You have set a new record!]

[You have been awarded a Golden Dragon Gift Box]

After the timer had reached zero, Yuan was given a golden box for his efforts.

"Haaa…"

Yuan laid on the floor in a tired manner as his surroundings returned to normal.

"The Great One said it'd be easy… What a joke! I nearly died fighting so many Spirit Grandmaster armored figures at once!" Yuan sighed out loud.

Fortunately for Yuan, the armored figures had their cultivation bases peaked at the 9th level Spirit Grandmaster or he would've been in real trouble.

Once he'd rested enough, Yuan opened the Golden Dragon Gift Box to see what was inside.

"This is… a necklace?"

Yuan retrieved a golden necklace from the Golden Dragon Gift Box.

[Refined Dragon Necklace]

[Grade: Divine]

[Quality: Peak]

[Mental Strength Required: 100,000]

[Soul Strength Required: 30,000]

[Description: A powerful necklace refined by the Great One. Deflects all spiritual techniques below Heaven-grade. Enhances the strength of one's own spiritual attacks by 50%.]

"Wow, this is quite a powerful treasure."

Yuan wore the treasure around his neck alongside the necklace Xiao Hua gave him, and he immediately felt safer.

"Wait… Spiritual attacks… Does the Dragon's Gaze count as a spiritual attack?" Yuan wondered to himself.

Sometime later, Yuan left the building to look at the formation around the city.

The moment he left the building, another notification appeared.

[1/3 Great One's Trials completed]

After taking a quick look at the formation to make sure it wasn't completed, Yuan went to look for another trial to do.

This time, he went for the building with the dimmest light.

[The Great One's Trial has begun!]

[You have a new challenge!]

[Withstand the pressure for three hours!]

[Difficulty has been adjusted based on your talents!]

Ding!

[2:59:59]

The moment the trial began, Yuan could feel an invisible pressure bearing down on him.

However, this pressure wasn't very strong in his opinion. In fact, he barely felt it.

After ten minutes, the pressure grew stronger, yet it still wasn't even for Yuan.

An hour later, the pressure was finally strong enough for Yuan to feel its effects, but it wasn't anything too strong, and he was still able to stand properly. It only felt like he was carrying a heavy backpack filled with rocks.

After another hour, the pressure was strong enough to make Yuan feel uncomfortable if he continued standing, so he took a seat on the cold floor.

The last hour was the most difficult. If it'd been another Cultivator, they would feel like they're being crushed by an entire mountain on her shoulders.

However, for Yuan, who was a Spirit Grandmaster, that mountain felt like a large boulder.

Of course, while boulders aren't anything to scoff at and could crush even a Spirit Warrior in an instant, Yuan was a Spirit Grandmaster. If he wanted to, he could carry even a couple of boulders and still be fine.

Three hours pa.s.sed by in a flash, and at the end, Yuan received another Golden Dragon Gift Box.

Ding!

[You have completed the Great One's Trial!]

[Total time resisted: 3:00:00]

[Congratulations! You have set a new record!]

[You have been awarded a Golden Dragon Gift Box]

Yuan immediately opened the Golden Dragon Gift Box, but to his surprise, there was only an Earth-grade treasure inside.

[Dragon Needles]

[Grade: Earth]

[Quality: Peak]

[Description: Eight perfect needles crafted by the Great One. Usually used as a hidden weapon. Increases penetration by 100%]

"The trial was pretty easy compared to the last one so maybe that's why the reward is so bad," Yuan mumbled to himself.

Indeed, the trial he'd just beaten was one of the easiest trials in the Dragon Temple, hence the lack of reward.

With that being said, it was still an Earth-grade treasure, something most if not every single player besides Yuan would die for.

[2/3 Great One's Trials completed]

Sometime later, Yuan went back outside to look at the formation.

"Of course, it's still not finished. Guess I'll go ahead and finish my last trial now."

Yuan looked around the city with his Dragon's Gaze, looking specifically for the building that had the brightest glow.

After searching for a few minutes, Yuan flew to another building.

Although this building didn't glow as bright as his first one, it was definitely much brighter than his previous one.

Furthermore, this building appeared to be a restaurant of sorts.

After knocking on the door like usual, Yuan entered the building.

Sure enough, the interior looked like that of a restaurant with many tables and chairs.

Yuan took a deep breath before approaching the dragon statue in the middle.

Whoos.h.!.+

The world before him expanded once again until he had plenty of room.

[The Great One's Trial has begun!]

[You have a new challenge!]

[Dodge the incoming attacks for one hour or until you get hit 3 times!]

[Difficulty has been adjusted based on your talents!]

A timer suddenly appeared, but there were only three seconds on it.

[0:03]

[0:02]

[0:01]

Once the timer had reached zero, Yuan immediately sensed danger from behind him, and another timer appeared.

[0:59:50]

He quickly used his movement technique to leave his location, and the second he moved, a ma.s.sive sword flew past where his neck had been just a second ago.

Three seconds after the first attack, Yuan could feel another sense of danger coming from his right side.

Whoos.h.!.+

An arrow suddenly appeared out of thin air a few meters away from his location and flew at his face.

The attacks continued to come from random locations, and the more Yuan dodged, the more threats would appear at once and the quicker they would appear.

Ten minutes into the challenge, Yuan was already being a.s.saulted by 10 weapons at once, and they would attack him every two seconds.

Thirty minutes into the challenge, Yuan had to avoid over 50 threats at once, all of them coming at every single second, and things were just getting started.
