As the participants passed through the entrance of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine, they soon realized that they were not in a palace. Instead, they seemed to have been sent to a corner of the ruins.
The surroundings were covered in ice and snow. It was so vast that they could not see the end of it. It was snowing heavily in the sky.
Many of them were stunned to see such an environment. However, they soon realized that they were not sent somewhere else. The snowy space should be the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine's first shrine. It did not matter if the first shrine was an illusion or if it was made with some special technique. The most important thing was the content of the assessment.
Wu Mo's voice reverberated in the sky again after more than four thousand people had entered the icy space.
"Welcome to the first round of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine! Now that the first batch of people has arrived, let me explain the content of the first round. "
"The first round of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine tests your ability. There'll be a monster horde later. The weakest monster horde will be immortal-level rank-1 while the strongest will be imperial-level black-gold-level.
"There are three conditions to pass this round. Firstly, survive the monster horde for 10 hours. Second, kill five thousand monsters within ten hours. Thirdly, kill 10 imperial-level black-gold-level monsters within 10 hours. You'll only be considered to have passed the round if all three conditions are fulfilled. Those who fail will be sent out of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine and won't be able to enter again. "
"For this round, participants can work together. However, the number of monsters killed by each participant will be counted separately. Only the person who kills the last monster will be considered as the one who kills the monster. No matter how much damage the others cause to the target monster, as long as they don't kill the last monster, it won't be counted. "
Everyone was excited when they heard that they could work together. However, they were upset when they heard that only the last monster would be counted as the one who killed the monster. That was because there would be a high chance of conflict among the team members. Everyone would want to kill the last monster. Those who couldn't snatch it would definitely be dissatisfied. As soon as there was conflict among the team members, the entire team might be eliminated.
After all, they had to kill 5,000 monsters in ten hours, which meant that each of them had to kill one monster every two seconds. Even a few minutes of delay due to internal conflicts would severely affect their efficiency.
Therefore, before the challenge began, the party members had to first coordinate the distribution of the number of kills. Otherwise, conflicts would inevitably arise.
"Everyone, feel free to challenge the trial boldly. You don't need to worry about dying in this trial. This is a space of consciousness. After death, the consciousness will directly return to the body. " Wu Mo reminded, "That's all I have to say. If you have any questions, you can ask them now before the assessment begins."
At that moment, a man in the Coalition government's military uniform raised his hand and said, "If I manage to kill 5,000 monsters and 10 imperial-level monsters in advance, can you cancel the condition of staying for 10 hours and allow me to enter the Second Palace earlier?"
"No, you can't. All three conditions must be met in order to pass the trial."
At that moment, a Dynasty member spoke too. "There's a 10-hour time limit for the first trial. Therefore, everyone who passes the assessment will be sent to the Second Palace after the 10-hour period ends. There's no difference in time. What I'd like to know is, are there more trials with a time limit like this? If there are, doesn't that mean that it'll be difficult for us to increase the time difference? "
"Including the first stage, there are only two stages with a time limit. Therefore, as long as you're capable enough, you don't have to worry about not being able to increase the time difference. "
After the two of them, a few of them raised their questions one after another. Wu Mo answered them one after another.
"Alright, if there's no other question, let's begin the first round of the trial."
As soon as Wu Mo said that, the group of people who were challenging the trial soon heard monster roars coming from far away.
Apart from a minority of them, most of the people who were challenging the trial began to form teams with people they knew.
After all, it was a monster horde. Apart from a few of them who had absolute abilities, it was difficult for the rest to survive in the monster horde alone. Teamwork could greatly increase their survival rate in the monster horde.
Many of the teams had conflicts as soon as they teamed up.
"The five of us will take turns killing the monsters one by one. Each of us will kill one monster and pass the rest to the rest. How slow is that? Are the other four people just watching when one of us kills the monster? I think that's a complete waste of time! "
"What do you suggest then? Help one person kill 5,000 monsters and switch to the second person? If that's the case, will the person who has completed the mission be able to fight with all his might? Moreover, there's a 10-hour time limit now. It's not difficult for the first four people to kill within the time limit, but what about the fifth person? Who can guarantee that the fifth person can kill the monsters? Who's willing to be the fifth person? "
The entire team fell into silence. Nobody wanted to be the last person.
A moment later, one of them lifted his head all of a sudden. "How about this? Let's do 100 monsters each. Each of us will switch to the next person after killing 100 monsters. That way, there'll be a difference of 100 monsters between those who have completed and those who haven't. The difference between those who are first and those who are last won't be huge. "
Soon, the suggestion was agreed upon by everyone.
Many teams adopted a similar strategy to minimize the conflicts in the teams.
The first wave of the monster horde had finally arrived.
There were millions of monsters coming. Most of them were Frost Corpses with blue bodies. Their combat strength ranged from immortal-level rank-1 to rank-3.
Although there were many monsters in the first wave, their combat strength was not high. However, everyone knew that the second and third waves would be stronger than the previous one.
"Since the monsters are the weakest, don't hold back. Kill as many as you can. It'll only get harder to kill later," one of them said to the rest of the team through voice transmission.
The rest of them nodded immediately.
However, they were not the only team that had the same idea. Many of the teams had the same idea.
Before the monster horde even got close to them, many of the teams had already initiated the attack. They charged into the monster horde and started a crazy killing spree.
Most of the people who entered the Sorcerer Goddess' Shrine were immortal-level rank-7 to rank-9. They were like ferocious tigers that had entered a flock of sheep in the midst of the immortal-level rank-1 to rank-3 monsters.
