What if the blue crystal shattered? How was he supposed to inject vital energy into it? How was he supposed to pass the trial?
An Lin was completely dumbstruck when the crystal shattered. He didn't expect something like this to happen.
Thinking back to what had just happened, it seemed like the crystal had shattered because his sword projection had struck it … An Lin began to cry at his own stupidity.
When he saw the power of frost released by the crystal, he immediately retreated in a frenzy.
However, his speed was no match for the speed at which the frost was spreading. In the blink of an eye, everything in the chamber had been frozen solid!
An Lin's body was rooted to the spot, and his blood began to congeal. Even every single cell in his body had fallen silent. Even his Origin Energy of the Netherworld had been frozen solid.
He felt a bone-chilling cold, as if his consciousness was about to dissipate.
Just as he was about to lose consciousness, An Lin saw a figure slowly walking toward him from within the blue mist that had erupted from the crystal.
This was a beautiful woman in a white dress. She had a tall and lithe figure, and her skin was as fair as snow. She exuded a cold and aloof aura as she walked.
She rolled her eyes with displeasure as she looked at the frozen An Lin.
Waves of shock surged through An Lin's heart. Holy f * ck, why is she here?!
The woman was none other than Bai Ling. She had appeared from within the blue mist after the crystal had exploded. Her figure was so abrupt and unexpected.
Just as An Lin was about to lose consciousness from the cold, the frost within the chamber converged toward Bai Ling's body, and the frozen space around them also instantly disappeared.
An Lin's body suddenly became light, and he fell backward like a zombie.
Thump!
The sound of something hard colliding erupted. His body had successfully crashed into the ground, but he didn't feel any pain.
There was nothing he could do. His entire body was frozen solid, and he hadn't even recovered yet. Even his sense of pain had completely disappeared.
On the other side, Dabai was also lying on the ground like a statue.
Bai Ling made her way over to An Lin's side and squatted down. She poked An Lin's stiff cheek with her slender index finger and pursed her lips. "Tell me, are you crazy?"
An Lin: "???"
Bai Ling glared at An Lin. "Just focus on your training. Why do you have to use your sword to strike the crystal? Don't you know how difficult it is for me to cast spells in the crystal? If you continue to slash like this, not only will the crystal be broken, but even I, who is inside, will also almost be cut in half. What you're doing is destroying public property and endangering the mainframe's safety. It's a capital offense, do you understand? "
An Lin's mouth twitched. F * ck! I really didn't know you were casting a spell in the crystal, big sister!!
His lips trembled, and under the effect of the Evergreen Longevity, he finally managed to regain the ability to speak. "Speaking of which, isn't this the Trial Grounds of the Purple Star ruins? Isn't this the Trial of Extreme Frost? Why are you, a mainframe, acting as a checkpoint in the crystal? "
"Hehe, this is a human service, do you understand? If I didn't do this, how would I increase the difficulty for you? "Bai Ling looked at the man on the ground with a disdainful expression.
Human service? Increase the difficulty?
An Lin almost threw up a mouthful of blood upon hearing this. He glowered at Bai Ling. "You're trying to increase the difficulty for me?! No wonder … No wonder I couldn't get close to the blue crystal even after using all of my trump cards. How could there be such a freakish Spirit Nurturing Stage checkpoint in this world? You're the one behind all of this! "
Bai Ling chuckled coldly. "What? You're not convinced? I have the final say in these ruins. If you don't have the courage to rise to the occasion, how are you worthy of the precious inheritance of the Purple Star ruins? "
An Lin's lips twitched. He had already experienced Bai Ling's shamelessness when he and his team had been forced to buy and sell items. Who would have thought that she would be forced to increase the difficulty of the trial this time?!
Was there still any reason? Was there still any law?!
"Then, do I pass this trial or not?" An Lin asked feebly.
He had already made up his mind. One day, when he achieved phenomenal success, he was definitely going to beat the crap out of Bai Ling.
Bai Ling seemed to be hesitating for a moment before replying, "Even though the way you handled the trial wasn't very appropriate, I'll still open the back door for you out of consideration for our past friendship. You've passed this trial!"
What the f * ck are you talking about? You're secretly increasing the difficulty for me out of consideration for our past friendship?
An Lin was furious, but he still forced a smile onto his face. "Thank you for your kindness, Big Sister Bai, I'll be sure to continue working hard!"
"Hmm … good boy, there's still one more trial. After you pass it, you'll be able to receive all of the information about the Purple Star ruins …" Bai Ling patted An Lin's head with a gentle expression of encouragement.
This was the first time An Lin had been patted on the head like this, and goosebumps erupted all over his body.
However, his attention was still drawn to the "last trial" that Bai Ling mentioned.
"What's the last trial like? Can you tell me, Big Sister Bai?" An Lin spoke with an affectionate expression as he rubbed his head against Bai Ling's soft palm.
"I can't tell you, but I can tell you that I won't be providing any human services for the last trial, so I won't give you any reward of love. It'll be an original trial," Bai Ling replied with a smile.
Reward of love my a * s! Isn't it just extra difficulty? Why do you have to make it sound so nice?!
Just as An Lin was grumbling internally, Bai Ling had already stood up, and her gentle expression turned frosty again. "Congratulations, you have passed the trial of extreme frost. You may now proceed to the next trial."
Her body transformed into specks of light again as she spoke.
An Lin lay on the ground for a moment before standing up shakily.
He still hadn't fully recovered from the extreme frost, nor had he recovered from the exhaustion caused by using the Origin Energy of the Netherworld.
He turned around to find Dabai sprawled on the ground like a dead dog with its tongue hanging out, clearly having also been severely frozen.
"Dabai, are you going to be alright?" An Lin looked down at Dabai with a sympathetic expression.
"Only now do I realize that even that thick layer of fat and long white fur can't keep me out, woof!" Dabai narrowed its eyes with a disconsolate expression.
In this trial, the man and the dog once again suffered serious injuries. They silently began the journey of recuperation.
A day later, An Lin and Dabai finally recovered from their injuries.
Another two days passed, and An Lin finally recovered from the side effects of using the Origin Energy of the Netherworld.
"There's not much time left, let's begin the final trial!"
An Lin adjusted himself to his peak condition and stood up with a glowing expression on his face.
"Alright, let's go rescue the beautiful princess trapped in the ruins, woof!" Dabai was also in high spirits.
The metal gate was slowly pushed open, and a crimson passageway appeared before them.
An Lin stepped onto this passageway and began his final trial.
