"Snap!"
One side of the alloy iron cage suddenly opened. The monsters in the ten cages reacted differently—some stayed inside, while others stepped out, roaring at the warriors still confined within.
Long Jian's voice suddenly rang out: "This monster is called the Earthwind Wolf. Its attack power only reaches the peak of the third level of Innate Strength, but its defense is extremely high, and it moves incredibly fast."
As soon as Long Jian finished speaking, two warriors of innate sixth level sprang into action inside the coffin room.
"Bang! Bang!"
With lightning-fast speed, they charged toward the Earthwind Wolf, each striking with a punch and a kick, sending two wolves crashing into the walls. The creatures fell to the ground.
Yet, to everyone's astonishment, when the wolves stood back up, they merely shook their heads and returned to normal.
It was clear to all that the two sixth-level warriors had not used their full strength. Even so, their blows could have killed third-level Innate Strength warriors or severely injured fourth-level ones—but the Earthwind Wolves emerged unscathed. Their defensive power was truly extraordinary.
"Roar! Roar!"
Meanwhile, the other eight coffin rooms were already in combat with Earthwind Wolves.
A fourth-level talent had already been overtaken by an Earthwind Wolf. Its lightning-fast attacks left him only able to defend passively.
Other fifth-level talents were nearly unable to match the speed of the wolves.
On the other hand, the two sixth-level warriors could fully suppress the Earthwind Wolves, but the wolves' immense defense meant they couldn't be killed quickly.
Watching the battles unfold on the giant screens, everyone contemplated how to deal with the wolves. The dozens of third-level talents turned pale.
With such high defense and speed, killing the Earthwind Wolf was out of the question—surviving alone was a challenge.
Five minutes later, one sixth-level warrior ended his fight first, crushing the Earthwind Wolf's skull with a heavy punch and claiming victory.
Two minutes later, the other sixth-level warrior finished his battle—but with brutal methods: first breaking the wolf's four legs, then striking its head. At the last moment, as he prepared for close combat, all the wolf's sharp bone spikes shot out, causing him considerable trouble. Fortunately, his innate strength allowed him to block the spikes.
A fifth-level talent without allies would likely have died amidst the dense spikes.
Witnessing this, the spectators outside were terrified, realizing that once inside, they would need to immediately destroy the wolf's head to prevent the spike barrage. The coffin rooms were small, making evasion difficult.
"What!"
A piercing scream erupted from the screen. A fourth-level warrior, suppressed by the Earthwind Wolf from the beginning, had been pierced in the abdomen by the wolf's claws.
The lower abdomen houses the Dantian. The stabbing had damaged it, instantly incapacitating the warrior.
In front of everyone, the Earthwind Wolf mercilessly devoured the fourth-level warrior.
A chill ran through the onlookers.
Half an hour later, the evaluation for the first set of warriors concluded.
Only four passed: two were born at level six, two at level five.
One fourth-level warrior had been killed and eaten, and two others relied solely on their physical skills to survive, bearing multiple injuries.
Three other fifth-level talents had fought viciously against the Earthwind Wolves, almost losing themselves in the process.
When time ran out, camouflaged elite soldiers rushed in to rescue the injured. Those devoured had simply been unlucky.
The surviving Earthwind Wolves were returned to their cages and sent underground.
"The ten warriors for No. 2, come out!"
Long Jian, seemingly indifferent, coldly ordered the No. 2 warriors to enter the coffin rooms for inspection.
Half an hour later, the evaluation for No. 2 concluded. Six passed, having learned from the mistakes of No. 1. Yet, still, no fourth-level innate warriors survived.
No. 3 had five pass, one died at fourth level.
No. 4 saw three pass, three third-level warriors killed, and two fourth-level gravely injured. Fifth-level barely survived but didn't pass.
No. 5 had seven pass after evaluation.
Finally, results for No. 9 came in.
Among the first 80 to pass, not a single third-level innate warrior survived—the mortality rate was 37%. Fourth-level warriors? None survived. Only higher levels made it through.
"No. 9 warrior, enter!"
Li the Madman squinted as he spotted Song Yan among the No. 9 warriors. He muttered: "Kid… I hope you survive—then I'll personally kill you!"
Meanwhile, Zhao Jian looked calm, Zhao Lei wore a sly grin, and Zhao Yun was smug, knowing that based on the first eighty evaluations, Song Yan's fourth-level innate strength likely wouldn't pass.
He maliciously thought, let the wolf devour this guy.
Only Zhao Ying showed a hint of concern.
"Prosper!"
The metal doors closed. Song Yan felt as if he had entered a world cut off from everything.
The alloy steel plates on the floor retracted, and a cage rose from below, revealing an Earthwind Wolf in his view.
"Snap!"
One side of the cage opened, and the wolf stared at Song Yan with a fierce gaze, slowly stepping out.
"Kill!"
Song Yan didn't retreat; instead, he advanced, activating his gravity field.
I don't know whether to live or die… I actually want to fight the Earthwind Wolf!
Watching the large screen, Zhao Yun scoffed.
But the next moment, his voice caught—Di Fenglang hadn't dodged and took a punch from Song Yan.
Just like that.
The wolf's head exploded, and the headless body fell.
Instant death?
Flash sale?
Song Yan had done what even sixth-level innate warriors couldn't: kill an Earthwind Wolf with a single blow.
"This kid's strength…!"
Li the Madman's eyes glinted with envy. He had thought his fifth-level breakthrough would keep Song Yan in check, but Song Yan's progress outpaced even him—terrifying!
Zhao Jian and Zhao Lei's faces flashed with shock and regret.
Zhao Yun's expression darkened.
Only Zhao Ying couldn't help but smile: "This guy didn't lie to me. He really is amazing!"
