54 The Tower of Trials’ Third Floor
On the second floor, there were five Level-20 bronze bosses.
It was ridiculous!
Normally, players who entered the Tower of Trials would only be at Level 10. Not only were there Level-20 monsters here, but they were also all bosses.
Perhaps this was the trial of the abyss level.
The Earthfire beast was an extremely powerful attack-type monster.
The abyss trial’s buff for the Earthfire beast was a 30% increase in damage.
The beast’s four skills fully displayed its combat and damage.
“Lil Xue’er, protect yourself. I’ll go after the monsters,” Chu Bai said to Lil Xue’er.
“Wuuu!”
Lil Xue’er nodded.
Monsters had a common mechanism, and that was the one who dealt the most damage to them would be the one they attacked.
Of course, not all monsters had such a mechanism, but Chu Bai believed that the Earthfire beast was a low-level monster, so it should have such a mechanism.
Nothing must happen to Lil Xue’er. As long as she was around, Chu Bai would be relatively safe.
“Triple Flame Slash!”
He still used Triple Flame Slash as his first skill!
The first strike was a vertical sword energy, which directly hit an Earthfire beast.
-380!
The second was the horizontal sword energy.
Three Earthfire beasts were hit.
The third strike was a leap attack. Chu Bai jumped up and smashed down.
-760!
The three Earthfire beasts within range were sent flying.
As for the other two, they charged at Chu Bai from two different directions. He dodged to the side to avoid one of them, but he could not avoid the other one.
-201!
A huge damage value appeared above Chu Bai’s head.
If his defense was not high enough, this attack would have dealt nearly 400 damage points.
+201!
Lil Xue’er used Heavenly Healing on Chu Bai.
Chu Bai steadied his body and charged toward the Earthfire beast that was attacking him. He dodged one of the attacks in a ‘Z’ shape and charged toward the other.
-380!
At this moment, one of the Earthfire beasts turned into flames and charged at Chu Bai at an extremely fast speed.
Big move, raging flames.
[Ding. You’ve received the ultimate skill, Raging Inferno.]
Chu Bai’s attack had just landed, and before he could even react, the Earthfire beast closed in on him with such a powerful move. Even if he wanted to, he could not escape in time, but…
He had an awesome skill!
Blade Waltz!
Boom!
As the loud sound rang out, Chu Bai’s position was directly bombarded. Chu Bai used the waltz skill in time, causing him to enter a state where he could not choose to attack. In turn, he would not be attacked either.
Swoosh1
His figure shuttled back and forth five times on one of the Earthfire beasts.
-380, -380, -3,800, -380, -380!
[Ding. You’ve triggered the 10,00% damage of the God Slaying Calamity.]
One of the attacks directly triggered ten times the damage, and the Earthfire beast’s HP bar was instantly reduced by nearly half.
Chu Bai landed on the ground.
“What a pity. If I had Lil Xue’er’s boost, I would’ve been able to kill it in seconds.”
Lil Xue’er’s Holy Moment was on cooldown.
However…
After landing on the ground, Chu Bai’s entire body was engulfed in flames.
“Raging Inferno!”
[Raging Inferno: turns into a fireball and rushes to the opponents. Whether it hits the opponents or the ground, it’ll cause an explosion effect within a five-meter range. If hit, it’ll cause 200% attack damage and 100% additional burning effect for ten seconds. It’ll deal double damage to already burned targets. Cooldown time: none.]
Chu Bai had been waiting to release this skill! The previous Blade Waltz was just to dodge the skill!
Boom!
Chu Bai charged toward an Earthfire beast.
-760!
One of the Earthfire beasts was directly hit.
-150, -150!
Then, it continued to lose HP.
“I’ll kill you in seconds!”
Chu Bai used another Raging Inferno and charged over.
The Earthfire beast roared, and its body burst into flames.
The buff skill, Burning Heart, had a ten-second effect and recovered 200 HP per second.
However…
It was currently in a burnt state, which meant that the damage of Chu Bai’s Raging Inferno had doubled again!
Boom!
-1,520!
“Again!”
The five monsters were focused on Chu Bai, so Lil Xue’er was safe and able to heal Chu Bai at any time.
Boom!
-3,040!
The double damage from the God Slaying Calamity was triggered again, and the damage instantly exploded.
“Sudden Strike!”
Whoosh!
-760!
As soon as he landed, he immediately used Sudden Strike and instantly killed an Earthfire beast.
There were four more.
These four Earthfire beasts also used Burning Heart to enhance themselves and then charged at Chu Bai from four directions.
They could not be dodged.
In that case…
“Raging Inferno!”
Chu Bai immediately released this move on the spot.
Boom!
-1,520!
All four of them were hit.
However, this skill did not have any knock-off effects.
After it landed, a burning claw clawed at Chu Bai’s chest.
-430!
[Ding. You’re immune to burn effects.]
Behind him, there was another claw.
-201!
Another claw.
-201!
Chu Bai did not panic at all. The only reason he dared to do such AoE damage was that he had calculated Lil Xue’er’s cooldown.
+832!
Chu Bai’s blood volume instantly rose to full.
“Again! Sudden Strike!”
Chu Bai chose an Earthfire beast and immediately attacked it from behind.
-760!
The Earthfire beast landed behind Chu Bai and gave him a bite.
-230!
Chu Bai, on the other hand, released Triple Flame Slash.
-760, -760, -1520!
Boom!
Two of them were sent flying by Chu Bai.
After they were sent flying, Chu Bai used another Raging Inferno.
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
-3,040
This triggered double damage from the God Slaying Calamity.
The health of the three monsters was instantly reduced, and they entered a burnt state at the same time.
The four Earthfire beasts also released the skill High-Temperature Hell.
[Ding. You’re immune to burn effects.]
[Ding. You’re immune to the attribute debuffs.]
To Chu Bai, this skill was useless.
Taking advantage of the fact that they were being burned, Chu Bai directly used Flame Strike.
-1,520
“Blade Waltz.”
-380, -380, -760
With full damage, he instantly killed one!
Then, the cooldown of Blade Waltz was reset, and he cast it on another low HP monster.
Instant kill!
The third one was killed instantly!
Now, there was only one Earthfire beast left, which had a relatively large amount of HP.
As for the last one, Chu Bai only needed to dodge its attack for a while before he could kill it.
However…
Boom!
A burst of flames suddenly erupted from beneath Chu Bai.
-1,000
The huge damage caused Chu Bai’s low health bar to drop to the bottom, and Chu Bai was sent flying.
Chu Bai was shocked.
F*ck! He had forgotten about this.
When the Earthfire beast saw Chu Bai’s low HP, it immediately went crazy.
With Raging Inferno, it charged toward Chu Bai.
Chu Bai could not dodge this attack because he had yet to get up after being sent flying.
“Lil Xue’er, you don’t need to cast the Light of the Heavenly Fox, just the Light of the Holy Spirit will do!” Chu Bai shouted.
Their hearts were connected, and he knew that at this moment, Lil Xue’er wanted to use her invincible skill, the Light of the Heavenly Fox, to save Chu Bai’s life.
However, Chu Bai wanted her to keep it because this skill had a 12-hour cooldown!
Lil Xue’er was anxious, but her first reaction was to listen to Chu Bai’s orders.
The Light of the Holy Spirit was released, and 10% of the maximum health points would be recovered in the first second.
+177!
Chu Bai instantly used a small health potion and a medium health potion.
+100, +200!
Chu Bai’s HP instantly rose to 597.
It would not be able to kill him in seconds now!
-577!
A huge damage value appeared above Chu Bai’s head.
+177!
Chu Bai had already stood up and put some distance between them.
Both potions had a five-second cooldown, and he could recover 10% of his maximum health points every second. He only needed to stall for time and be careful not to be hit by the flames.
Five seconds later, it was Chu Bai’s time to counter-attack. This time, he was no longer careless.
Lil Xue’er’s Heavenly Healing had also finished its cooldown.
+885!
His health bar was full.
In the end, Chu Bai finished off the last Earthfire beast with the help of the sharp Blade Waltz.
[Ding. Congratulations, you’ve passed the abyss-level Tower of Trials’ second floor. All four basic attributes +5.]
He took a deep breath and quickly went to the rock where Lil Xue’er was!
This rock was unaffected by the Earthfire beasts.
Lil Xue’er immediately pounced into Chu Bai’s arms and rubbed against him. It was obvious that she was extremely worried.
“My problem is that I forgot about the flames erupting from the ground. Don’t worry, I won’t be careless in the future.”
Chu Bai rubbed her.
Lil Xue’er nodded.
Chu Bai had indeed been careless. He was clearly facing such a difficult trial, yet he was still careless. He had to be 120% vigilant.
As expected, they were not given time to rest and adjust. Chu Bai had only just gained one mana point when he entered the third floor with Lil Xue’er.
[Ding. You’ve entered the third floor of the Tower of Trials.]
