"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! "
Under twenty times the gravity, the sound of the air being torn apart was louder and louder, as if an invisible storm was raging in the narrow room. Sizzle.
Li Yao's chest was rising and falling rapidly. White steam spurted out of his nostrils like sharp arrows. A large amount of mist appeared in the air, twisting his body and making it hazy.
It was his sweat, which was vaporized by the high-speed vibration of his muscles.
All of a sudden!
On Li Yao's body, the mustard-seed training suit that could be stretched to more than ten times its original size exploded into scraps the size of fingernails. More than ten deep footprints appeared on the alloy floor of the gravity room. The traces of every toe could be clearly seen!
A moment later, the sound of his feet landing on the ground was like a sudden clap of thunder, rumbling from the ground.
"Beep, beep, beep. Time to end your seclusion!"
A gentle artificial voice came from all directions.
"Hu …"
Li Yao took a long breath in relief and strode out of the gravity chamber. The wall of the training chamber slid to two sides, and three pairs of artificial arms took out a brand-new mustard-seed combat suit and helped him put it on.
The black background and the crimson lines outlined the slender muscles, which converged into a jumping flame in front of his chest, making him look very handsome.
Stretching his body casually, Li Yao took a last look at the cocoon training cabin. Then he strode out without looking back.
Waiting for him outside was a small teleportation array.
This was the final test.
Of the ten Star Teams, only five would be the first batch to enter Ultimacy.
Everybody knew that the first batch to enter Ultimacy was likely to have unexpected adventures.
Half a year later, the second batch to enter Ultimacy might not even be able to drink the soup, much less the meat.
Nobody would give up such a rare opportunity.
Then, let's talk with our strength!
Li Yao smiled confidently and stepped into the small teleportation array.
His vision blurred, and he appeared in a world fragment.
It was a world of jagged rocks. Gray clouds were floating in the sky, which seemed to have been condensed together, giving a heavy and depressing feeling.
Rocks that were dozens of meters high stood tall like towering city walls, forming a huge maze.
From time to time, holes and crevices that were tens of meters deep would appear between the rocks, and steam would come out from them.
All sorts of strange noises came from underground. It didn't sound like the howl of a Demonic Beast, but more like the roar of the earth itself.
Next to the small teleportation array, there was a battle-ready mini crystal processor and a vest that was as thin as a cicada's wing and embedded with countless crystals.
Li Yao was dressed neatly. With a thought, his vest emitted a 'bo' sound, and he was surrounded by a bright gold spiritual shield.
Beep! Beep!
The mini crystal processor was automatically activated. A dull and emotionless voice was heard.
"Elites of the Orb Patrollers, the one-month special training is over!"
"In this one month, all of you have experienced extremely dangerous tests, brushed past the edge of life and death countless times, and also obtained unparalleled cultivation experience!"
"First of all, I regret to inform you that within a month. Five Orb Patrollers were seriously mentally deranged. Their brains were seriously damaged. Although the doctors tried their best to save their brains, their spiritual roots were destroyed, and they could no longer cultivate.
"Two other Orb Patrollers were even more seriously injured. There was no time to save them. They perished on the spot!
"They sacrificed themselves for the Xing Yao Federation and for the Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector. Please observe a minute of silence in memory of these heroes!"
Li Yao was greatly alarmed.
He was a monster who devoured memories as easily as eating or drinking. But it never occurred to him that ordinary Cultivators... Memory devouring was extremely dangerous.
With the assistance of the training magical equipment of the Star Ocean Imperium and the monitoring and protection of so many Yuanying experts and Jin Dan experts, the death rate was still so high.
Sixty-one Orb Patrollers in total. Seven of them had gone wrong. That was one out of nine!
No wonder the Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Sector did not consider memory transfer as a regular method of training. It was never used on a large scale unless it was absolutely necessary.
The failure rate was too high, and the consequences of failure were too severe!
But he didn't know whether Ding Ling Dong and the rest of Team Blue Bronze had succeeded or not.
The one-month seclusion had been a closed-door training. Everybody had been racing against time and didn't communicate with each other.
To this moment, Li Yao was still unaware of Ding Ling Dong's situation. His heart was in his throat.
After one minute of silence, the plain voice spoke again.
"For those who succeeded, the harvest of the past month has been enormous!
"Some of you have absorbed the memories of dozens of Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in a row and gained invaluable battle experience.
"Some of you have absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Your capability has soared and even made breakthroughs!
"Four high-level Building Foundation Stage Cultivators have advanced to the peak of the Building Foundation Stage!
"As for those who have advanced from the middle level to the high level, and from the low level to the middle level, there are more than ten of you!
"It is no exaggeration to say that you have become the strongest Building Foundation Stage Cultivators in the history of the Xing Yao Federation!
"Everybody, try your best. You will decide who you are going to send to Ultimacy in the upcoming 'seclusion battle'.
"The rules are simple. All the fifty-four Orb Patrollers have been dispersed and are now scattered in the Qianshan Domain, a world spirit space.
"Your mini crystal processors boast communication and positioning functions, which can help you find your teammates.
"The spiritual shield on your body will be broken every time you are hit by a fatal attack, which will help you resist 90% of the damage.
"After each break, you will have ten seconds of rest. Nobody can attack you, and you can't attack anybody. You can take advantage of the ten seconds to run away and change your strategy.
"After your spiritual shield is broken ten times, you will be forced to leave the field and lose the qualification to continue the battle.
"Your mission is to break the spiritual shield of the Orb Patrollers of different teams as much as possible. You will get one point for every time you break a spiritual shield.
"In one hour, the five teams with the highest total points will be qualified to go to Ultimacy!
"Attention. One of the Star Teams can no longer maintain the original tactical system due to the loss of too many members. Therefore, according to the research and analysis of the tactical specialists of Occult Orbs Fellowship, the remaining members of the team have been dispersed and assigned to other teams that are short of members.
"Finally, I have three hints for you.
"Hint one. You are advised to find your teammates first and try to make full use of the team's strength.
"Hint two. You are now at the edge of Thousand Mountains Domain. You are empty-handed except for your mustard-seed combat suit. But a lot of magical equipment is randomly scattered at the center of Thousand Mountains Domain.
"Hint three. The geological structure of Thousand Mountains Domain is extremely unstable. Violent earthquakes may break out at any time!
"The seclusion battle begins now!"
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when the roars deep below the ground turned into roars.
The earth was shaking. Rocks were rolling down. A moment ago, the rocks that were dozens of meters high suddenly sank into the ground. Then, cone-shaped peaks that were as sharp as tusks protruded out of the crevices abruptly!
The earth was falling apart like an ocean of rocks. The tides were surging, and the rocks were splashing everywhere.
Li Yao turned into a streak of blackness and dodged agilely among the rocks. He picked up two pieces of broken rocks along the way.
After a crack, one of them was crushed into dozens of sharp stone pieces and hidden everywhere on his body. The other one, on the other hand, was shattered into powder by his spiritual energy without a sound.
After everything was done, he turned on the communication and positioning system.
The names displayed on the six light spots on the map made him take a long breath in relief.
The six members of Team Blue Bronze were all safe and sound.
"Excellent. All six members of our team are here!"
"Over the past month, I've been suffering in the deepest part of hell. Thankfully, we've all made it through!"
"I've absorbed nine memory fragments of the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, especially the Illusionist Meng Weiyang. I've experienced almost all of her mental techniques. They are indeed marvelous and unfathomable!"
"Right now, I'm almost twice as strong as I was a month ago!"
'Dummy 'Ba Weiqi's hearty laughter echoed in the communication channel immediately.
"Let's not talk about that for now. There are fifty-four Orb Patrollers in total, which means that four of the nine Star Teams will be eliminated. Let's get through this first!"
Hong Tong said solemnly.
"Yes. I've been through the most torturous training and absorbed twelve memory pieces of the Yuanying monsters' training. I didn't do that just to be a 'substitute'!"
"Swallow," Yan Yangtian shrieked.
"The six of us should gather as soon as possible. I don't have any guns with me, and it will be troublesome for me to fight bare-handed. Other Star Teams seem to have shown up!"
"Shell," Leng Ziming said anxiously.
"Alright!"
Hong Tong ordered. "Let's scan the terrain first to confirm our location and environment. Then, we will assemble everyone's map and move toward Shell as soon as possible!
"Lingdang, Vulture, Swallow, you three are better at individual combat. You can try to collect some magical equipment from the center of the map.
"If you run into a strong enemy, don't waste any time. Regroup with your team is your top priority!"
"Understood!"
"Let's move out!"
In the middle of the undulating rocks, the six members of Team Blue Bronze took action quickly. Li Yao and the rest of them rushed to the center of the map, in case their magical equipment was robbed and they were left empty-handed.
Soon, Li Yao ran into two Orb Patrollers from two different Star Teams.
"Look, it's Vulture Li Yao from Team Blue Bronze!"
"He is only at the beginning level of the Building Foundation Stage, and he is a refiner. He is best at fighting with magical equipment and Crystal Suit. Right now, he is bare-handed. He is at his weakest!"
The two Orb Patrollers had been confronting each other with daggers drawn.
