387 Clearing The Summit Trial

‘I didn’t expect to solve my Support problem first…’

Ling Yi let out a silent sigh and immediately opened up the support Skill he had just obtained.

[Divine Shield Blessing (S)]: During the duration of the shield, the shield blessing can only be applied once. Its shield value—

[1. Have a 50% chance of being doubled from its original value.]

[2. Have a 30% chance of being tripled from its original value.]

[3. Have a 10% chance of being X4 from its original value.]

[4. Have a 9% chance of being X5 from its original value.]

[5. Have a 1% chance of being X10 from its original value.]

That’s right. The reason why Ling Yi used this Skill was because of its excessive increase in shield value.

To him, a 1% chance of getting an X10 of the original shield value was almost always!

And when this Skill was applied to the already super thick shield, [Spirit Wheel Body Control], the power of the two combined would be even more powerful!

The Spirit Wheel shield’s shield value was equivalent to his hp, and ten times the shield value was ten times his health.

Simply put, once he activated his shield, he would have 10 more hp!

He’s meatier than a Beast King!

Ling Yi, who was filled with joy, really wanted to find a suitable enemy to test out this 10x shield. However, after thinking about it, he realized that the only one who could be a strong opponent for him was the Beast God in the ruins.

And… He could test it in the Great Thousand God’s Path….

Just as Ling Yi was about to continue, Lin Shurou beside him whispered into his ear, “It’s late. Let’s rest first.”

The warm, moist fragrance wafted and tickled his ear.

Ling Yi’s entire body shivered. He decided that he wasn’t in a hurry to find the True Soul, so he nodded, “Okay.”

24th of July, 10 am.

When the world’s top powerhouses were heading to the 20th checkpoint for their final battle, back in the courtyard under the warm sun, Yunji was lying on a hammock while being rocked by Xiao Ya. She explained to Ling Yi, who was drinking tea under a tree, about the True Soul.

“The Summit Trial is a challenge with its own requirements. After completing these challenges, you will get the summit gold coins, and through these gold coins, you can exchange them for True Souls in the Summit Store.

“Oh, so the True Souls are all exchangeable?”

“Not all of them. The shop doesn’t have S-grade True Souls. You can only get them from lucky bags. Also, there were other activities where True Souls could be obtained, such as the ‘Global Dominance’ lottery. Another example would be the common treasure chest, which is the easiest way to obtain a True Soul other than exchanging it in the store.”

“Oh~”

In fact, he had some information about the True Soul before, but since Yunji wanted to introduce it to him, he would not refuse.

“After obtaining the True Soul, you must rely on yourself to cultivate it. When you cultivate it to the highest level, you can awaken its power. Hmm… You’ll only understand after you obtain the True Soul.”

Yunji lay back down. Her black hair hung down from the side, swaying in the wind under the sunlight.

Her pink and tender face still showed her usual charming smile, and her half-squinted golden eyes were constantly focused on the man.

Ling Yi put down his teacup and nodded.

Then, he opened the interface of the ‘Summit Trial’. Once opened, the interface showed a tower with levels 1 to 10.

He clicked on the introduction.

[Summit Trial: players will receive 1 summit coin for every level they pass. They can challenge again after a day’s interval after failing the challenge.]

[The trial will reset once a year]

Obviously, each floor represents one level, and there were a total of 10 floors.

Seeing that there was no other useful information, he opened the shop.

[True Soul Pouch: 20]

[Phoenix (A): 50]

[Golden Dragon (A): 50]

[Three-headed Hellhound (B): 40]

[Jungle Anaconda (B): 40]

[Giant Frog (E): 1]

[End of Shop Catalog]

‘In other words, even if I get through all of them, I can only get 10 summit coins every month?’

Ling Yi furrowed his brows and pondered for a while. In the end, he decided to try fighting first.

And when he touched the first floor of the picture, that interface bloomed with an irresistible suction force that sucked him in.

[Prompt: You have arrived at the first floor of the Summit Trial. Items are prohibited at this level.]

It was a huge round room surrounded by flames. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all fiery red.

In front of him, a red-brown scorpion with a flaming tail slowly walked out of the ball of fire.

He took a look with the [Eye of Truth].

[Name: Gluttonous Fire Scorpion (lv80)]

[Type: Elite monster]

[Attributes: strength 400, mana 240, agility 400, endurance 640, physique 640]

[Skill:…]

[Current Status: 100%]

“That’s all?!” Ling Yi exclaimed eyes widened in surprise.

He had thought that the enemies in the Summit Trial would be powerful, but they turned out to be just some normal elite monsters!

Not even the leader monsters?

He was a legendary invincible with four-digit attributes, and his expression contorted into something strange.

He casually uses his wind manipulation and kills it within seconds.

The next moment, there was a flash of light, and he was back home.

[Congratulations on clearing the first floor of the Summit Trial. You have received 1 summit coin.]

[Double gold coin: summit coins +1]

Ling Yi’s eyes widened.

‘This is much simpler than I thought!’

‘That’s right. This Summit Trial is based on the combat power of normal level 80 players. It’s not that they’re weak, but I’m too strong.’

After thinking this through, Ling Yi continued to challenge.

Second floor, instant success.

Third floor, instant success.

On the 10th floor, the enemy wasn’t an Elite Monster but a level 100 Leader Monster. Ling Yi finally felt that this was how it was meant to be.

Of course, he still killed it casually.

Now, looking at the 20 summit coins on his interface, Ling Yi sighed helplessly and exchanged them for the True Soul pouch.

With his identity as the ultimate legend and double gold coins, he could get a 40% return on the items on God’s Path, so he got back 8 summit coins.

However, he no longer had any use for these.

‘It seems that I can only carry out a simulated mutation on this Lucky Bag. I hope I can get the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger’s soul out.’

Before this, he had already obtained the Azure Dragon and the Vermilion Bird’s True Souls.

A few days ago, he carried out a mutation simulation of the Vermilion Bird True Soul. The simulated new Vermilion Bird True Soul was given to Nangong Li, while the original one was left with him.

Now, he only needed to gather the other two True Souls and combine them with the four Sacred Stones to form the legendary True Soul [Four Sacred Heavenly Bones]!

That was his true goal.

Before the simulated mutation, he checked the effect of the original item out of habit.

[True Soul Pouch]: Upon opening it, one will receive a True Soul at random.

“The probability of getting an S-grade True Soul should be the lowest for others, but it’s the highest for me.”

As he spoke, he simulated the mutation.

[Simulation 1]

[You can choose one True Soul to obtain.]

[Simulation 2]

[Upon opening, two True Souls will be randomly obtained]

After some hesitation, Ling Yi finally chose simulation 1.

This way, there would at least be a guarantee.

Immediately after, he opened the original True Soul pouch.

Whoosh!

When the red brocade pouch was opened, a colorful light flashed in front of his eyes.

A grey-white pearl fell from the sky and slowly dropped onto his palm.

Swish!

[You’ve obtained an S-grade True Soul, “Taotie”!]

Since he already used the pouch and didn’t get the Black Tortoise or the White Tiger, he couldn’t open the other self-chosen Lucky Bag for the time being.

Not far away, Yunji saw Ling Yi’s disappointed frown and couldn’t help but ask with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“Aish, I missed my chance.”

“Eh? You also know how to hit rock bottom?”

“Not that. I just don’t have the ability to make my wishes come true for now.”

Although the probability of him getting what he wanted was very high, even if it was 99%, there was still a qualitative difference from 100%.

“What do you plan to do now?” Yunji put her hands on the edge of the hanging bed and stuck her head out to ask.

“I can only find another way.”

Under the warm sunlight, the young man smiled at the golden-eyed beauty.
