In a moment of dizziness and disorientation, Fang Li was transported into the Tower of Trials.
When his vision recovered, what came into Fang Li's sight was an incredibly vast desert.
"Whoosh!"
As the strong wind blew, sand and dust began to fill the air, causing Fang Li to instinctively close his eyes and raise a hand to shield his face.
Surveying his surroundings, Fang Li couldn't help but feel somewhat bewildered.
"It seems like this is a separate space that has been opened up."
Otherwise, Fang Li should have been able to see the other Main Divine Envoys.
In this situation, the system's notification sound started to ring.
"Entering the 1st Floor of the Tower of Trials. Begin the trial."
"Serial Number 11273, you must kill 100 opponents of the Fifth Rank within one hour. If the number of kills does not meet the requirement after one hour, this trial will be declared a failure."
"Note that the opponents you need to kill have the same attributes as you. If you are accidentally killed, you will die permanently and will not have a chance to resurrect."
When this kind of system notification sound entered Fang Li's mind, he was completely dumbfounded.
Kill 100 opponents with the same attributes as himself?
Failure if he doesn't meet the requirement after one hour?
Direct death if he is killed?
Is this a joke?
Is this a joke?
This is only the 1st Floor!
Ignoring Fang Li's emotions, the system's cold notification sound pronounced its judgment mercilessly.
"The trial begins."
As soon as the words fell, the entire vast desert suddenly shook.
"Shh, shh, shh…"
In the sound of sand rubbing against each other, shadows emerged from the desert one after one.
Looking at those shadows, Fang Li couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation in his head, and goosebumps started to appear all over his body.
Because those were giant scorpions.
The size of these scorpions was comparable to that of a small cow. Their bodies were pitch black in color. Their tails with sharp barbs swayed in the air. In their eyes, a crimson color flickered, surging with lifelike ferocity.
These giant scorpions emerged from every corner of the desert, instantly surrounding Fang Li.
In the next second, pairs of reddened eyes simultaneously locked onto Fang Li's body, creating a terrifying atmosphere in the dry desert air.
Time came to a complete stop at that moment.
When it resumed, those giant scorpions with crimson eyes had transformed into spider-like creatures, rushing toward Fang Li from all directions.
"Tch!" Fang Li couldn't help but click his tongue and tightly gripped his sharp dagger in his palm.
Then, wave after wave of giant scorpions engulfed Fang Li like a tidal wave.
"Squeak!"
Accompanied by an unpleasant squeaking sound, resembling the scraping of glass, a scorpion charged towards Fang Li, directly pouncing on him.
As Fang Li watched the approaching scorpion gradually enlarging in his field of vision, he quickly shifted his footwork and, in a swift movement, his Moon Blade flashed fiercely as he stabbed toward the charging scorpion's body.
"Clang!"
With a crisp collision sound, Fang Li's dagger didn't penetrate the scorpion's body as he had imagined. Instead, it scraped against the scorpion's tough exterior, creating intense sparks.
Seeing this scene, Fang Li's eyes widened, and he felt like cursing.
"They call this having the same attribute as me? What a joke!"
Fang Li had no idea when he would reach the point where his physical body could withstand the impact of a weapon.
Of course, the defense of this particular scorpion relied on the scales covering its body, which was a racial feature rather than its own attribute.
Just like a human and a cow, even if their attack power is completely equal, if a human were to clash fists with a cow's horns, one can easily imagine the outcome.
It is precisely because of this that humans need weapons, while wild beasts rely on claws and fangs.
"Very well…"
Fang Li slightly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, his ice-blue Mystic Eyes had appeared.
"Chi!"
Under the sound of space breaking, Fang Li's dagger flashed once again, slashing toward the scorpion that had not yet landed on the ground.
"Pu Chi!"
A burst of blood mist spewed from the scorpion's body, as it was cleanly severed in mid-air.
"No matter how sturdy the defense is, it's no match for the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!" Fang Li shifted his gaze, and his ice-blue Mystic Eyes locked onto the remaining scorpions.
"Squeak!"
"Squeak!"
Each scorpion emitted an angry hiss as they simultaneously rushed toward Fang Li.
In an instant, Fang Li was completely enveloped by the scorpions charging at him from all directions, leaving no room for escape.
"Do they think that I have no way to dodge?"
A smirk appeared on Fang Li's lips as he thought of this.
If it were in the past, the current situation would indeed be described as having no way to dodge. However, for the present Fang Li, that statement was outdated.
"Flashing Dash – Reflected Moon…"
Fang Li's figure suddenly disappeared on the spot. Like a flower in a mirror, like a moon in water, he vanished without any warning.
In this situation, the scorpions rushing towards him collided fiercely with each other.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the midst of the heavy impacts, the scorpions were like bouncing balls colliding with each other, flicking and falling to the ground.
At that moment, a figure silently descended from above and swiftly swung a blade toward the fallen scorpions.
"Pu Chi! Pu Chi! Pu Chi!"
The sound of the blade piercing flesh echoed continuously in the surrounding.
With his sharp dagger, Fang Li effortlessly cut through the scales of each scorpion, causing sprays of blood to soar into the sky.
Like a moon reflected in water, Fang Li's figure appeared and disappeared, his ice-blue Mystic Eyes open, as he moved within the encirclement of the giant scorpions.
Only at this moment did Fang Li somewhat understand the settings of the 1st Floor trial.
"Although they have the same attribute, these scorpions don't possess any skills or intelligence."
In other words, they were simply a group of wild beasts with the same physical qualities as Fang Li.
Despite their sturdy scales and the deadly poison in their tails, they lacked technique, just like the old Fang Li. Although he possessed the ability to kill in one hit and a strong physical condition, he had no technique.
In the past, when faced with Tohno Shiki, Fang Li was instantly killed. Now, facing this group of enemies, the outcome would naturally be the same for old Fang Li.
Not to mention that Fang Li also had skills and equipment.
With the enhancement of his skills and equipment, at the very least, Fang Li's speed far exceeded his opponents'.
Therefore…
"I can win!"
