Chapter 1372 Four Types of Trials

1372 Four Types of Trials

About an hour after Tian Yang finished his trial, Kulas opened his eyes, and a treasure materialized on his lap a moment later.

"You finished already?" Kulas looked at Tian Yang with a surprised look on his face.

He started the trial about ten minutes after Tian Yang did, yet he'd somehow finished later.

"Yes," Tian Yang nodded, glancing at Kulas with a calm expression.

"How long ago?"

"About an hour, I guess."

"Impressive… And what kind of trial did you undergo?" Kulas continued asking.

"I had to fight a Flying Leviathan."

"Hm… so not everyone receives the same trial. How interesting…"Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Suddenly, another person there abruptly coughed up a mouthful of blood before collapsing on the ground, startling Kulas.

"What the?"

Tian Yang calmly looked at the person who'd just collapsed and said, "He died."

"What?" Kulas looked at him with wide eyes.

"I've seen this happen several times since I finished my trial. My guess is that those who die during their trial will die with their real body as well," he said.

"That's quite cruel… but considering how precious the rewards are, I'm not too surprised."

Kulas muttered as he watched the body disappear into thin air.

"I don't know why that happens." Tian Yang said, referring to the disappearing body.

"It was probably absorbed by the tomb as nourishment," said Kulas.

"Nourishment? You make it sound as if the tomb is alive."

"Sort of. While it's not actually alive, it still requires a massive amount of spiritual energy to operate, so it'll take whatever it can get." Kulas hypothesized.

"Anyways… here you go."

Kulas suddenly extended his hands toward Tian Yang.

"W-What are you doing?" Tian Yang looked at him with wide eyes, seemingly in disbelief.

"What does it look like? I'm giving you my treasure since I don't need it."

"You can't be serious." Tian Yang refused to believe that someone as generous as Kulas existed in their world.

"Even if it won't affect your cultivation, it will improve other areas."

Kulas shrugged, "I know my body better than anyone. Even if I consume a hundred of these, it won't affect me. And since I cannot bring these treasures out of the tomb, I might as well give them to you to speed up your cultivation."

"In that case… thank you…" Tian Yang eventually accepted the treasure, feeling a little apprehensive. Kulas was being so generous that it was actually suspicious.

After all, Tian Yang was used to having things taken away from him more than receiving them.

"Go ahead and eat it. I'll watch over you just in case," Kulas said a moment later.

"Okay."

Tian Yang sat in the lotus position again and stared at the treasure in his grasp for a moment, feeling as though he was in a dream.

The treasure Kulas received from his trial was different from his Golden Ginseng Roots. It was a valuable treasure known as the Red Dragon's Muscle, a potent medicine for boosting one's muscles and overall physique. Of course, it wasn't any less valuable than the Golden Ginseng Roots.

After consuming the Red Dragon's Muscle, Tian Yang could immediately feel his muscles squirming around inside his body, almost as though they gained their own consciousness.

He could feel his muscles expanding and contrasting constantly, as if someone was massaging it. The experience was painful at first, but it gradually became more comfortable.

Soon, his cultivation began to soar once again, entering ninth-

level Spirit Lord in the blink of an eye.

Sometime later, Tian Yang opened his eyes and stood up, feeling the prowess of a first-level Spirit King coursing through his entire being.

'It hasn't even been a day since we entered the tomb and I've gone from the fifth-level Spirit Lord to first-level Spirit King. This speed of progress is unfathomable for someone as talentless as me…'

He looked at the clear sky and sighed in a low voice, "Han Zexian, huh? I'll worship you until the day I die for giving me this opportunity."

"Shall we continue to the next trial?" Tian Yang looked at Kulas, who nodded with an excited smile.

They left the stone altar shortly after and began wandering the tomb.

Several thousands of miles and many hours later, they arrived before another altar. However, the altar had a different appearance compared to the previous altar. Instead of stone, it appeared to be made out of silver. Moreover, there were far less people taking the trial.

As they approached the altar, someone standing outside the trial zone said to them, "I hope you know what you're getting yourself into."

Tian Yang halted his steps and looked at the middle-aged woman with a puzzled expression.

"Judging by your reaction, is this your first trial?" she asked.

"No, this would be our second."

"Then in case you didn't know, not all trials in the tomb are equal. Some are much harder than others."

Tian Yang looked at the altar and asked, "Does it have anything to do with the altar's appearance?"

"Correct. There are four types of altars. Starting from the easiest trials, stone altar, silver altar, gold altar, and jade altar. Naturally, the more difficult the trial, the better the rewards. With that being said, about 70 percent of the people that took this trial have died thus far."

"70 percent casualty rate…" Tian Yang swallowed nervously.

He wasn't sure about the casualty rate for the stone altar, but he'd witnessed sixteen people die in just a few minutes.

"Thank you for the information."

After thanking the woman, Tian Yang entered the zone and sat before the altar without the slightest hesitation on his face. Kulas followed him shortly after with a slight smile.

The woman stared at them with wide eyes.

"Young and foolish... what a pity..."

Without saying anything else, she continued waiting outside the zone, seemingly waiting for someone or something.

After mentally preparing himself and taking a deep breath, Tian Yang closed his eyes and muttered, "Begin trial."
