Chapter 57: Ch 57- The Trail (2) [Bonus]
"Agh, not again!"
Mo Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and immediately sat up. He looked around with a confused expression.
This time, he was lying in a huge grass field.
At first, it looked completely normal, but after looking around for a few seconds, Mo Yuan’s expression slowly became strange.
As far as his eyes could see, there was only endless green grass stretching in every direction. The horizon seemed to go on forever, making it impossible to tell where this place ended.
Mo Yuan stood up and looked toward the sky.
The sky was blue, just like Earth, but the sun was incredibly bright. Its light was so strong that even Mo Yuan found it difficult to look directly at it.
That surprised him.
After reaching the Origin Sea Realm, his physical body had become extremely powerful. His eyesight was far beyond that of an ordinary person and even powerful sunlight shouldn’t bother him this much.
Yet, this sun was different.
Mo Yuan quickly looked away.
"What exactly is this trial about? All I see is grass."
He waited for a while.
As if answering his question, a cold mechanical voice suddenly came from the sky.
[Sealing off contestant’s cultivation.]
"What?"
Before Mo Yuan could react, he suddenly felt something strange happen inside his body. The Primordial Qi that was constantly circulating through his body disappeared.
His powerful physical strength also vanished and his aura rapidly weakened. In just a moment, all of his cultivation was completely sealed.
Mo Yuan’s expression became ugly. He quickly clenched his fists and tested his strength.
It was weak, he had become an ordinary mortal.
"What type of trial is this?"
Mo Yuan looked toward the sky and shouted.
However, there was no response. A few seconds later, the mechanical voice sounded again.
[Sealing off contestant’s Talents]
Then Mo Yuan’s connection with his talent’s disappeared.
[Please choose your weapon.]
Mo Yuan’s mouth twitched.
"Are you going to answer my question or not?"
Silence.
Mo Yuan waited.
Still nothing.
He rubbed his forehead.
"Is this some kind of AI or something? It only responds to specific commands?"
Since there was no point arguing with a voice that wouldn’t answer him, Mo Yuan decided to follow its instructions.
"I choose saber."
The moment he finished speaking, a saber suddenly appeared in front of him.
Mo Yuan quickly grabbed it an examined the weapon carefully, It was nothing special.
It was just an ordinary saber with no special energy or power.
Mo Yuan swung it a few times.
Even though his cultivation had been sealed, he had practiced saber techniques for a long time. His body still remembered how to use it.
"What now?"
The mechanical voice immediately answered.
[Please kill as many as you can.]
Mo Yuan froze.
"Kill who?"
He looked around and there was no one in sight.
"I don’t see anyone."
For several seconds, nothing happened. Then Mo Yuan suddenly noticed something moving in the distance.
His eyes narrowed.
At first, he thought it was just an illusion but soon, more figures appeared.
Then hundreds.
Then thousands.
Then tens of thousands.
Mo Yuan’s expression slowly changed. From every direction, countless humans were running toward him.
They covered the endless grassland like a massive tide.
Every single one of them was holding a saber. They were all running toward him and the terrifying part was that he couldn’t see where the crowd ended.
It was as if an endless army had suddenly appeared on the grassland.
"What the..."
Mo Yuan’s scalp went numb.
He looked to his left.
More people.
He looked to his right.
Even more people.
He turned around.
The same thing.
There were people everywhere.
"Holy shit!"
Mo Yuan tightened his grip around his saber.
"You want me to fight an army?"
The countless figures continued rushing toward him.
Mo Yuan swallowed hard.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"
He looked at the approaching horde and felt a headache coming.
"You want me to fight fucking infinite people?"
The distance between them rapidly decreased. Mo Yuan took a deep breath and lowered his body.
"Ah, shit."
The first wave of enemies finally reached him.
Mo Yuan’s eyes became sharp.
He raised his saber.
"Fine."
"If you want me to kill, then I’ll kill."
The next moment, the endless horde completely surrounded him.
He stepped forward instead of retreating, his saber moved.
"Clang!"
The two blades collided, and Mo Yuan immediately twisted his wrist. His saber slid past the enemy’s weapon and struck his chest, sending the man flying backward.
Another enemy appeared from the side.
Then another.
Then five more.
Mo Yuan didn’t panic.
His body moved naturally through the crowd, and his saber continuously flashed through the air.
His Perfection level Saber Momentum erupted.
Even though his cultivation had been sealed, the understanding he had gained from countless battles had not disappeared.
The moment his saber moved, an invisible pressure spread around him.
His Saber Momentum was already at the peak of its current level, only one step away from Saber Intent.
Every swing carried a powerful force.
"Die!"
Mo Yuan slashed forward.
A man in front of him raised his saber to block.
The impact immediately sent him flying, before the surrounding enemies could close the gap, Mo Yuan had already stepped forward and struck again.
Slash!
Another enemy fell.
Slash!
Another one was sent flying.
Slash!
Three sabers were knocked away at the same time.
Mo Yuan moved like a fish swimming through water, constantly changing direction as the enemies surrounded him from all sides.
However, the number of enemies was terrifying. For every person he killed, ten more rushed forward. Soon, the grass beneath his feet was completely covered by fallen figures.
Mo Yuan’s breathing became heavier.
"Damn, there are really no limits to these guys."
He ducked beneath a saber and immediately thrust his own weapon forward. The saber pierced through the enemy’s chest, Mo Yuan pulled it out and spun around.
Four sabers came toward his head at the same time.
His pupils contracted, he lowered his body and swept his saber in a wide arc. The four attackers were forced backward. Mo Yuan didn’t give them a chance to recover.
He stepped forward.
One slash.
Two slashes.
Three slashes.
His movements became faster and faster. The pressure released by his Saber Momentum also became stronger.
At this moment, Mo Yuan completely forgot about the strange trial.
He only had one thought.
Kill.
The endless horde continued charging toward him. Mo Yuan stood among the countless fallen bodies, gripping his saber tightly.
His eyes were calm.
"This is actually pretty good."
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"At least I can use this opportunity to polish my Saber Momentum."
Then he charged directly into the endless horde once again.
