Chapter 306: Asura God's Sixth Trial

In Slaughter City, after three months there, Tang San and Hu Lie Na have already completed the content of the first trial, and are now preparing to complete the content of the second trial.

What they don't know is that before them, another person had already begun the divine trial, and that person is Du Gu Yan.

Du Gu Yan has now completed the fifth trial of the Asura God, successfully breaking through to rank ninety, and after absorbing the god-given soul ring, her soul power reached rank ninety-one, making her a Titled Douluo.

The content of his sixth trial leaves her somewhat puzzled, because her sixth trial's content is to kill the other two Asura God trial participants.

Du Gu Yan originally thought she was the sole heir of the Asura God King, but now it seems not; there are two others, yet she had no prior information about them.

After reading the trial content, Du Gu Yan doesn't know whether this trial is difficult or easy, because she has no idea about the other two participants' strength.

The reason she's uncertain whether the trial content is difficult or easy is also because of a sentence in the trial content.

That is, the three participants' cultivation levels will ultimately be equalized to the lowest among them, all having the soul power of the person with the lowest cultivation.

Moreover, this trial has an additional requirement: one cannot use soul bones, and if one's strength exceeds that of the other two trial participants, the excess soul ring power and soul power will be sealed, allowing only the use of soul power and soul skills at the same level.

Du Gu Yan isn't worried about this, after all she is already a Titled Douluo; even if her soul power and soul rings are partially sealed, her combat ability and insight remain.

What she fears is that the opponent's original strength is greater than hers; if so, everything would be reversed, which would be disadvantageous to her.

When Du Gu Yan chose to start the sixth trial, she was transported to a special place that resembles the ruins after a great battle; the area is vast, but everywhere is rubble, with no end in sight.

Upon entering this place, Du Gu Yan felt a special force suppressing her; her soul power level was only sixty-three, with excess soul power cultivation sealed, and she could only use six soul rings, and her soul bone skills were also sealed.

However, when Du Gu Yan felt her soul power cultivation being suppressed, she wasn't overly worried; instead, she relaxed.

If the cultivation is suppressed, it indicates that one of the other two inheritors is only rank sixty-three, because one rule of the sixth trial is that cultivation will be equalized to the lowest among them.

Most importantly, although Du Gu Yan can currently only exert sixty-three-level strength, her soul power's origin is indeed rank ninety-one.

In other words, her foundation is at least far above one of the two inheritors, and her chances of victory have increased greatly.

After all, using sixty-three-level strength to draw upon a foundation of peak ninety-one-level soul power is like someone with only 630,000 in assets suddenly receiving 100 million, allowing them to spend freely as before.

However, Du Gu Yan is not careless, because there are three inheritors; although she inferred one person's strength from the suppressed power, the other person's strength remains unclear.

Du Gu Yan has previously experienced the difficulty of the Asura God trials, and she does not think this sixth trial will be so simple.

Perhaps the key to this sixth trial lies in the remaining unknown inheritor.

But thinking about all this now is useless; Du Gu Yan now thinks of taking action, ideally first finding one of them, then subduing them, or cooperating with them to take down another.

This way, she can avoid the two of them meeting first and then joining forces against her.

Although the trial condition is to eliminate the other two, with only one victor, it's not impossible for two to cooperate to take down the third, then have the remaining two duel.

After all, it's better than the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; dealing with an open enemy is still easier.

Du Gu Yan isn't particularly interested in cooperation; besides her confidence in her own strength, she mainly wants to hone herself through the trial, hoping to catch up to Gu Xuan's pace as soon as possible.

Du Gu Yan stayed in place for a moment, aside from predicting whether the other two's landing points were the same as hers, just to familiarize herself with the suppressed strength.

After a moment, Du Gu Yan was still the only one here, proving that the transmission was random, not all at the same location.

Having realized this, and already familiar with her suppressed strength, Du Gu Yan activated search mode.

This place is huge, almost comparable to Tian Dou City, and everywhere is ruins, making it easy to hide.

Due to the suppression of her strength, Du Gu Yan's mental power was also suppressed to the level she had at rank sixty-three.

Although her mental power had been rapidly breaking through after consuming Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and later absorbing the 50,000-year-old Spirit Condensate Wisdom Skull, at rank sixty-three her mental power was only at the peak level of a Douluo.

The range of her emitted mental power is only one kilometer, so searching still requires some effort.

Du Gu Yan determined a direction, planning to start from her landing point as the origin and begin searching eastward, so it wouldn't be aimless.

However, as Du Gu Yan began moving within this vast ruin, she discovered a special problem: this place is not merely ruins, but also hosts a group of special creatures.

Having just walked out three kilometers, Du Gu Yan detected within her mental power radiation range a strangely shaped 'soul beast.'

The soul beast is dark red all over, stands up to three meters tall, walks upright like a human, but its limbs are fearsome claws; atop its head are a cluster of dark-gold horns, and on its back a pair of fleshy wings, suggesting it can fly.

However, the distance is too great for Du Gu Yan to estimate its exact strength, but it is at least of Soul Master to Soul Emperor level, given its noticeable soul power fluctuations.

This special soul beast wanders throughout the ruins, seemingly also searching for something.

Du Gu Yan feels her luck is not bad, because the area around her landing point seems devoid of this special soul beast; after all, she waited in place for a moment, and this special soul beast is moving, so not encountering it is fortunate.

After all, although this entity poses no threat to Du Gu Yan in the notice, since none of the soul beast encyclopedias she's seen record this special soul beast, it might be some variant.

If she encounters it, Du Gu Yan might not fear it, but it will certainly consume some of her resources.

For the other inheritor whose original strength is unknown at this moment, Du Gu Yan's consumption is tantamount to first revealing a weakness.

After all, if the opponent is also a Titled Douluo like her, then in this place where sixth soul ring and above skills and soul bone skills cannot be used, Du Gu Yan's advantage would be greatly reduced.

It's not that Du Gu Yan is overly cautious; rather, facing unknown danger, caution is necessary.

After all, Gu Xuan isn't always by Du Gu Yan's side to protect her; she has also learned to stand on her own.
