Krune's group was quite lucky this time since they found a door in just a few minutes. This door in specific had exactly four slots, which is the number of Krune's group. At least at the moment, Krune's group was the only only one here, and no one else appeared. Of course, the 98th level had just opened, there is still some time before the next level opens again.

Since there was nothing to do during the time being, Krune decided to try to use Tribulation lightning in the Hydrogen and Oxygen separation. He started to control it the same way as he did with his normal Lightning Element. But just as he started, the two poles lost control, and the process failed right there and then.

"As expected, Tribulation Lightning is really a lot more difficult to do such a fine control than normal Lightning Element."

Of course, Krune didn't give up with just one failure. If anything, he expects it to have a much better result once it succeeds. So he spent his time trying it out. Each fails helped him to understand the process better, not to mention that his own control over the Tribulation Lightning improved. It was the first time that Krune tried to control Tribulation Lightning so precisely, and it helped a lot.

Unfortunately or not, the next door for the 99th floor only took one hour to open, but Krune's group really hit the jackpot this time around. In the end, what was supposed to have several competitors fighting over, had only 7, and it is already counting with Krune's group of four. So it was evident that it turned quite easy for the four of them to pass over. Of course, Krune had to stop his practice to go to the next level.

Around 30 minutes earlier, Ao's group had finally found a door. But there was a problem here, this door only had three slots, which means that it is not enough for the five of them. When Ula saw that, she turned around and said.

"I guess this is it then, we did find a door, but there aren't enough slots. It was me who asked to follow you this time, so I won't make things difficult for your side. I still have time to find another door anyway, so I'm leaving."

Before Ao's group could say anything, Ula had already dashed away. Ula could have simply stayed and fought for the slots, and there was a huge chance that she would get one. But every time she thought about Ao's smell, she couldn't bring herself to do anything.

"Just what is different about him?"

In the end, Ula just shook her head and put those thoughts behind her mind. She decided to keep focusing on the test for the time being and forget about anything else. The late part of the test is very good for lonely contestants since they don't need to care about the number of allies, just the slot itself.

While Ula's mind was somewhere else, she didn't notice that someone was standing just beside her while she flew ahead. When her thoughts came back to the path ahead, she finally noticed the person who was traveling with her, which made her almost jump in fright!

Ao looked at her reaction and sighed.

"Am I that ugly? You don't need to act like that just because you saw my face, you know? That is very rude!"

Ula was lost at words.

"That's not the reason I'm surprised at all! Why did you come with me? I know that I asked to follow you guys, but that's because I was bored, that's all! Since there weren't enough slots, there is no reason for us to stick together anymore. Besides, what about your other three friends?"

Ao looked at her and laughed.

"You don't need to worry about Yusa, Arlan, and Joty. They can take care of themselves. As for me, let's just say that I'm bored too. Not to mention that the last door only has three slots, so it wouldn't be enough for them and me anyway. Who knows? You can use Tribulation Lightning like my friend, so I think it might be easier to follow you around. You can protect and help me get a slot when the time comes."

As one can imagine, Ao was talking nonsense. He has the confidence of getting a slot if he moves alone, but he just couldn't leave this Moon Wolf. It somehow reminded him of Krune when he talked about his time alone in the Katiu Forest. Of course, Ao knows that her situation is still who knows how many times better than Krune's past one.

Ula was taken aback, though. She had seen Ao's fight on the 97th floor too, so she knows he is blatantly lying! At the moment, she was conflicted. If she goes alone, her chances would definitely be better. But then again, why did she follow Ao's group to start with? It was obviously disadvantageous to her. She then looked at Ao and started to blame him internally.

'It's all because of your smell!'

Of course, she didn't say it out loud, so Ao didn't know what she was thinking.

"Shall we keep going?"

Ula finally gave up and nodded, and in fact, she was feeling internally happy even though she didn't show it on her face. Both Ao and Ula are focused more on speed. Especially Ula, who can use Tribulation Lightning, so they didn't take that long to find another door with 4 slots available. Just like that, there were now three groups. Krune's group, Arlan's group, and Ao's group.

Back at the door where Yusa, Joty, and Arlan were staying, there were also another 7 contestants, making a total of 10 contestants for only 3 slots. Arlan and Yusa, evidently, were not very worried. They can see that the majority had spent a lot of energy and had quite a few injuries. So their situation was the best between them all. Only Joty was still nervous, just how far this luck situation can bring him? He doesn't know!

The door then finally activated, and the slots were free to enter. Arlan and Yusa, as the cultivators in the best condition, didn't have a problem to secure a defender position in one slot each. As for Joty, he wasn't able to do so, but with a weird turn of events, he still became an attacker.

But there was a problem here. His opponent is definitely much stronger than him! It was a guy from a planet called Tareili, ranked 233th in the Divine Path Sect territory. Of course, the guy didn't know that Joty wasn't as strong as him, so he kept his distance and waited to see what Joty would do first. All he needs is to wait 10 minutes, after all!

Joty was also lost at the moment, not that he is a coward, but that after seeing all the battles from the 90th floor upwards, he knows he is far from being anyone's match! Still, as the attacker, there is only one way for him to advance, and that is to defeat the guy in front of him and only then start his 10 minutes of defense. This is something that Arlan and Yusa can't help him with.

Joty then greeted his teeth and charged forward, but just as he was about to use his first skill, he saw something weird. There was a small energy dot floating close to his opponent's waist. For a second, Joty wondered if this was some defense skill from his opponent. But suddenly, that small dot started to pulse and change positions according to what his opponent did.

But that wasn't what caught Joty's attention, what really surprised him was that every time that energy dot pulsed, his dantian pulsed together. It felt like both of them were connected somehow. As mentioned before, Joty is a Core Formation Realm cultivator, it's just that in the Illusion Realm, he can only show the power of a peak Foundation Establishment. However, his connection with his soul inside his core is still there, even though he can't use its power.

"Is it telling me to target that point?"

As if answering his question, the energy dot and his dantian pulsed once more as soon as he finished asking. Joty had no time to think anymore and decided that it was worth a try.

"I already have no chance of winning anyway, then so be it."

Joty gathered his energy and attacked directly at that point. Even though the dot kept moving, Joty felt like he knew where it would go, and his weapon and skill followed the path perfectly.

His opponent noticed Joty's attack and immediately used a defensive skill. But he was surprised, he could feel that Joty's attack power wasn't anything significant. Still, he didn't let his guard down. In his mind, anyone who got this far definitely isn't weak. So he put his all into defending that attack since his opponent might just be faking weakness.

What happened next made the blood of Joty's opponent go cold! His skill, which he was very confident in, suddenly crumbled like a sandcastle! It didn't put any resistance against Joty's attack at all! Joty's opponent wanted to dodge, but it was as if Joty's weapon was alive. it didn't matter what he did, the weapon followed him. It destroyed any defense he could put on that time.

"Swish!"

One slash and Joty's opponent Dantian was destroyed! Joty's opponent eyes opened wide! The other cultivators and demon beast who stayed outside also had the same reaction! But the one who was closest to have his eyes coming out of their sockets was Joty himself!

"What the hell?!!!"

Joty couldn't believe what just happened. How could he have won this fight so easily? What was the energy dot? What does it have to do with his Dantian? What is that feeling of connection between him and that dot? Joty had thousands of questions, but no one to answer!

But he also noticed something, the dot that showed him the way through the enemy's flaw disappeared! Not to mention that Joty doesn't even know how it appeared to start with! Still, everyone outside saw how Joty easily defeated his opponent in one move with such a weak attack. They all immediately lost any hope of defeating him. What if he decides to go all out? It is already good that he showed mercy and didn't kill the guy!

10 minutes passed fast, and Yusa, Arlan, and Joty also appeared inside the 99th floor.

As for Ao and Ula? Both of them are strong to start with, and with a door with four slots on top of that, they quickly got a slot and entered the next level as well.

The 99th floor! Also, the last one! Those who enter the next will have advanced into the next test.
