Unrivaled God, Fallen Star, and the other three from Death's Scythe retreated quickly after leaving the responsibility of the three BOSSes to Lin Huang.
Apart from Lin Huang, Death's Scythe, Fallen Star, and Twin were the only ones who stayed put.
However, Fallen Star and the other two did not participate in the one-versus-three battle. Instead, they watched for a while and only spoke to Lin Huang after confirming that all the competitors had left the sensing area.
"Xie Lin, we can't show that we know you. Otherwise, we'll be targeted by all the other competitors. I hope you can understand that. "
"I know." Lin Huang nodded.
"I finally have a chance to talk to you alone," Twin's icy blue head on the left said with a smile.
"You've secured the No. 1 spot on this Trial's leaderboard!" Twin's fiery red head on the right said seamlessly, "Nobody can surpass you now."
"Boss Xie Lin, I didn't expect your true ability to be more powerful than I expected!" Destiny chimed in immediately, "You'll be able to participate in the Great Heaven Trial once you get the No. 1 spot! The Great Heaven inheritance will be at your fingertips! "
Lin Huang smiled and shook his head when he heard that. "It'd be great if it was as easy as you said."
"Xie Lin, you're a participant. You're different from us. If I'm not mistaken, you have something to do with the start of this Competitive Trial, right? "Twin could not help but ask. She had wanted to ask this question since a few days ago. In reality, she had already guessed the truth, but she wanted confirmation from Lin Huang.
"I did start the Competitive Trial." Lin Huang did not deny it.
"I see. No wonder you're the only participant, Boss Xie Lin. The rest of us are competitors!" Destiny came to a sudden realization.
"Let us know if there's anything we can help with after this Trial." Fallen Star asked after a moment of silence, "You can look for us if you need help in the later Trial."
"I will." Lin Huang nodded. "However, apart from this Competitive Trial, the other stages of the Great Heaven inheritance are all solo stages. I don't know what the later stages are about. I'll contact you if I really need help. "
"Are you confident about the later stages?" Fallen Star asked again.
"To be honest, no." Lin Huang smiled bitterly and shook his head. "According to the information I've gathered, I can roughly guess that the subsequent stages will be very difficult."
"Then do your best," Fallen Star comforted him. "It would be great if you could obtain the Great Heaven's inheritance. If he couldn't get it, there was no need to force it. You just need to do your best to fight for it. As for the result, let nature take its course. "
"I think so too." Lin Huang nodded with a smile.
He had never been someone who cared too much about gains and losses. When he first entered Swordfiend Abyss, his main goal was not to obtain the inheritance, but to improve his Sword Dao and strength. This was because he knew from the beginning that the Great Heaven inheritance would not be so easy to obtain. Of course, if he could successfully obtain the Great Heaven inheritance, it would be a delightful bonus.
After chatting for a while, Fallen Star and the other two left.
Once again, Lin Huang focused on fighting the three BOSSes.
Unlike Sword12, the abilities of these three Bosses were similar to what Lin Huang had expected. They were probably ranked between 100th and 200th among the Sword Servants.
Lin Huang did not use Sword Dao true meaning. Instead, he maintained his peak level-6 Sword Dao. It took him about an hour and a half to defeat all three Sword Servants who had joined forces.
"Trial Participant Xie Lin defeated the BOSS. 100 points obtained!"
"Trial Participant Xie Lin defeated the BOSS. 100 points obtained!"
"Trial Participant Xie Lin defeated the BOSS. 100 points obtained!"
Lin Huang raised his eyebrows when he saw the three World Announcements pop up one after another. It felt like the same announcement had popped up three times.
Some of the competitors who did not know the truth found it strange.
"That's the treatment of a biological son! Three announcements popped up for killing one Boss?! "
"Why did Xie Lin get three World Announcements for killing this Boss?! Could it be that this Boss is special? "
"He's a Trial Participant for sure. Three announcements popped up for killing one Boss. Doesn't that mean nine announcements popped up for killing three Bosses?! "
Only some of the competitors who knew what was going on could guess the truth.
"Three announcements popped up at once. Did he defeat three Bosses in one go?!"
"Xie Lin is Xie Lin for sure. We couldn't even defeat one Boss, but he managed to defeat all three of them!"
"I used to think that there was no more room for improvement when I reached virtual god-level like Unrivaled Combat God and the rest. Now that I've seen Xie Lin, I realize how naïve I was … "
…
Unrivaled Combat God and the other three who were far away from the battlefield did not look too good.
The four of them knew very well that the three Bosses who had tried to kill them earlier had individual abilities that were above the four of them. However, they had still lost to Xie Lin despite the three of them working together. Clearly, Xie Lin had not managed to defeat the four of them by luck.
Before this, Forbidden Lamella, Frontier, and the rest might have been unconvinced, thinking that the four of them were not familiar with formations. If they had enough time to prepare or use a more powerful sword formation, they might have been able to win. However, now that they thought about it carefully, they realized that their individual abilities were far inferior to Xie Lin's.
Lin Huang knew that he would definitely be talked about this time, but he did not care at all.
"11 o 'clock, 517 kilometers from our current position. There's a suspected Sword Servant moving toward us at high speed. He must've been attracted by the phenomenon caused by the battle earlier. This fellow is a humanoid monster. His head looks a little like a red octopus, and there are many whiskers on his chin that look like tentacles … "
After defeating the three Bosses, he did not stop at all. He brought Warlord with him and sped toward the next target.
A few minutes later (everyone's flying speed in the trial space was greatly reduced due to the need to pass through a large number of houses), Lin Huang encountered the octopus head.
After more than half an hour of intense battle, Lin Huang defeated the fifth Boss.
He did not stop at all and sped toward the sixth target.
Warlord had identified a total of 60 suspected Sword Servants, and Lin Huang only had about 60 hours left. If he wanted to defeat all 60 suspected BOSSes, he would only have about an hour to split the time evenly between each BOSS, and this included the time spent on the road. Therefore, time was of the essence.
After defeating the octopus head, Lin Huang quickly defeated the sixth target. It was a monster that looked like a crocodile, but it walked upright on two legs like a human.
Crocodile was very powerful. He was ranked Sword21, and it took Lin Huang one and a half hours to finally defeat him without using Sword Dao true meaning.
After defeating Sword21, Lin Huang immediately rushed to the next target.
Over the next two days, Lin Huang spent almost 39 hours without sleep or rest to defeat all 60 suspected Sword Servants that Warlord had identified.
In reality, all 60 suspected Sword Servants were real Sword Servants. Warlord had not mistaken any of them. Fortunately, none of these 60 people became Unrivaled God and the rest's hunting targets.
After that, Lin Huang spent about 20 hours hunting down the second round of suspected Sword Servant targets that Warlord had identified. When he defeated the 37th Sword Servant, a notification suddenly popped up in the system.
"Congratulations to the participant and all competitors. All 300 BOSSes have been defeated. This Trial has ended early!"
Lin Huang was not surprised when he saw the notification popping up. This was because he had seen Unrivaled Combat God and the rest successfully killing BOSSes several times during the past two days of hunting.
There was still about an hour left before the Trial's deadline, but it had ended early. Of the remaining 44 Sword Servants, apart from the 37 that he had defeated, the remaining seven had been taken down by Unrivaled God and the rest.
"Congratulations to the participant for successfully defeating 279 Sword Servants and obtaining a total of 27,911 points. You are ranked first in this Competitive Trial!"
"Congratulations to the participant for successfully winning the Competitive Trial and obtaining the right to participate in the final Trial!"
Looking at the two notifications that popped up one after another, Lin Huang's expression finally became serious.
