Chapter 22

Zongwang Prompt: Enter Infinite Trial Challenge Dungeon: Fate Simulation Universe (Epic Difficulty)!

Epic Dungeon Difficulty Prompt: In Epic Difficulty Dungeons, elite monsters gain extra skill specialties and attribute bonuses, and the Trial Currency earned from defeating elite monsters is greatly increased.

Current round: 1, terrain is endless wilderness!

After a dizzying teleportation, Mu Yi's field of vision instantly shifted from inside a narrow house to an endless expanse of wilderness.

The first round challenge will begin in five minutes; please get ready.

This round's random monster: Massive Goblins.

Looking at the Zongwang Panel's prompt, Mu Yi felt a pleasant surprise; he never expected the first wave of monsters in the Infinite Trial Challenge to be goblins.

They could be considered old friends!

Although Mu Yi had been a little worried, he instantly put his mind at ease; he had no experience dealing with other monsters, but when it came to goblins, he was extremely experienced.

Mu Yi surveyed the surrounding environment: an endless wilderness with no cover whatsoever, where attacks could come from all directions—ideal terrain for employing human-wave tactics.

He tested the ground; it was very solid, so there was no need to worry about losing his footing.

Mu Yi paid attention to the ground because he had previously fallen victim to a goblin trap in the forest; although it was just a simple pitfall, falling in was still unpleasant.

Dungeon Prompt: The first wave has spawned.

Massive numbers of goblins familiar to Mu Yi appeared out of thin air across the wilderness; within a hundred meters of him, almost every inch of ground was packed with goblins.

The next moment:

"Gah‑gah‑gah‑gah!"

When the first goblin began to howl, all the goblins became agitated and then surged wildly toward Mu Yi.

Mu Yi could hardly describe this feeling; at the moment when all the goblins surged toward him, he sensed an unimaginable pressure, as if the entire world were targeting him.

The clamorous goblin howls, now amplified by their numbers, sounded like thunder, the continuous roars resembling rolling heavenly thunder.

"Is this what war is like?"

Mu Yi's eyes turned completely blood‑red, and his Elite Talent entered peak state under the extreme pressure.

Completely unlike the previous small‑scale skirmishes, tens of thousands of goblins are swarming in!

Totally unlike ordinary goblins, their minds seemed to contain only the thought of killing Mu Yi.

"You think you can kill me?!"

Mu Yi finally broke free from the shock, roaring in anger.

"Listen! Be annihilated! Embrace dead silence!"

Mu Yi gripped his knife and gulped down the sole gold‑quality Blood‑Activating Soup he had crafted twice before.

He launched a straight‑on charge at the massive goblin horde, his whole body lunging like a tiger released from its cage straight at the opposing goblins.

The next instant, his blade light rose like a mountain, cleaving the goblin wave.

The Opening Mountain Blade swept across, a heavy, powerful strike that directly cut the goblins before him in half.

Gained one layer of Fierce Mark; current mark count: 3.

Inner Qi surged forth; the fierce, mighty force accompanying each of Mu Yi's moves burst out, instantly kicking up a gale of bloody wind and rain, displaying terrifyingly efficient slaughter in all its gory detail.

In just a few breaths, Mu Yi forcibly carved out a blank zone around himself.

Mu Yi felt as if he had stepped into a mowing game; his long blade danced wildly, and the goblins before him fell in rows like straw.

His whole being was like a hot knife slicing butter; the seemingly endless goblin tide was torn open a gap by Mu Yi's ferocious long blade.

Although it was Mu Yi who was surrounded, it now seemed as if he alone were encircling the goblins.

A goblin as tall as 2.5 meters came into Mu Yi's view.

Mu Yi, still possessing his sanity, instantly realized that the large figure before him was the so‑called Elite Goblin.

【Elite Goblin, LV1, Extra Traits: Swift, Tough, Sturdy】

The Dungeon Prompt kindly posted the information about the Giant Demon; Mu Yi glanced at it hastily, his mind not yet having processed the data, when the Elite Goblin's wooden club came crashing down on his head.

"Time Confusion, double speed!"

Everything around Mu Yi slowed in his sight; at this moment, in his eyes the world entered half‑speed slow motion, a stuttering state, while only Mu Yi himself maintained normal speed.

The temporal distortion greatly heightened Mu Yi's reaction to everything around him, allowing him to clearly see the speed at which the Elite Goblin's club fell; his distorted dynamic vision let him clearly track the opponent's attack trajectory.

"So slow! I can see everything clearly!"

Although only slowed by half, it felt as if slowed countless times; even the trajectory of the drool dripping from the Elite Goblin's mouth corner could be seen clearly.

Mu Yi stepped aside to dodge the Elite Goblin's attack, then smoothly placed his blade against its throat and gave a light slash, causing blood to gush like a pillar.

The Elite Goblin's eyes widened in disbelief as it clutched its neck, then collapsed with a thunderous thud, twitching on the ground.

"As expected, after one's physical quality improves, the load the body can bear also increases!"

Having dispelled the Time Acceleration, Mu Yi felt no obvious physical discomfort; the three‑second limit under normal conditions is far from his current limit.

The Fierce Marks stacked from Iron‑blooded Slaughter are causing his physical quality to grow at a terrifying rate.

His formidable physical quality has granted his power a qualitative leap.

Unmatched mowing, exhilarating to the point of soaring.

Momentarily unmatched, momentarily exhilarated; constantly unmatched, constantly exhilarated!

This is the most ancient, ferocious romance hidden within human bloodlines.

Even in sci‑fi films, one must add flesh‑to‑flesh melee combat; only then can the audience's blood truly surge, making them unable to look away.

Gained one layer of Fierce Mark; current mark count: 1225.

When attribute enhancement approached tenfold, Mu Yi miraculously remained conscious.

Perhaps what can cause one to sink is slaughter, not mowing.

Mu Yi also, for the first time in the frenzied slaughter, beheld the full extent of his Elite Talent.

At the moment he had slain nearly two thousand goblins, his overall attributes had already surpassed twenty times that of an ordinary person.

Scarlet blood qi wrapped him like a layer of armor; the increase in his attributes didn't directly affect his body as he'd imagined, but acted like armor, granting him strength.

His former fear that excessive killing would give him power enough to burst himself was merely a baseless worry.

"The first round's time is over; please make your selection in the Trial shop!"

With the system's prompt, the whole world instantly froze; Mu Yi felt everything around him dim, as if it were an old faded photograph.

He glanced out; the goblins still seemed endless. Mu Yi shook his head—his goblin‑slaying speed was still too slow.

He had already been slaying goblins with all his might, yet it still wasn't fast enough.
