Twenty seconds is not enough for an average person to recover much stamina. Li Xiu’s physical condition is quite good, and he recovers quickly. It may be that the demon spirit parasitizing him has so effect as well.
Li Xiu is resting, but for Ye Yuzhen, twenty seconds feel like an eternity, like twenty centuries passing by.
Several tis, he wanted to urge Li Xiu to hurry, but in the end, he swallowed his words.
Through this interaction, he has co to know the kind of person Li Xiu is. Once he has made a decision, he will not change it.
Finally, Li Xiu stood up and directed Ye Yuzhen to continue advancing.
After resting, Li Xiu’s stamina recovered a lot. Although he still didn’t run fast, it was much better than before.
Door after door, the continuously repeating identical rooms create an illusion for the group that they are circling in the sa room, like being caught in a ghost trap.
Ye Yuzhen’s forehead is drenched with cold sweat, not because he is tired, but because he is afraid. The fear in his heart is spreading infinitely, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.
Because they have reached his estimated bottom line, now it might be close to one hour.
He fears the next mont when the light screen suddenly appears, announcing the end of the trial, and then his body is directly blasted into pieces by the Trial Bracelet.
Every subsequent second feels like holding a ticking bomb that might explode at any ti, the key being he still doesn’t know the ti.
Second by second, Ye Yuzhen’s heart beats wildly, but luckily it doesn’t explode.
"Hurry up, we have three minutes and twenty-two seconds left. We don’t have ti to waste," Li Xiu noticed Ye Yuzhen’s speed had slowed down and reminded him.
"I wonder who wanted to rest earlier and who was walking so slow, who exactly is wasting ti?" Ye Yuzhen felt depressed but had no mood to argue, hastening his steps forward.
"Two minutes... one minute thirty seconds... one minute..." Li Xiu reports the ti every thirty seconds.
He’s not reminding Ye Yuzhen but calculating the remaining ti and distance traveled, correcting errors caused by different walking speeds.
"Just hold on a bit longer, the ti should be about right," Li Xiu calculates over and over, feeling the ti is just perfect, similar to his previous calculations, with so leeway.
But this voice, in Ye Yuzhen’s ears, sounds like a death-calling magical sound, shocking him greatly.
"Do you think you’re a clock? I don’t believe your calculations are that precise, just self-soothing, right?" Ye Yuzhen thought dejectedly.
But he dared not slow his pace, continuing forward. Yet speeding up, Li Xiu couldn’t keep up, causing a distressing sensation as if suffering between ice and fire.
Fortunately, until now, they have not encountered any traps or chanisms, which makes Ye Yuzhen feel a bit suspicious.
"Ten seconds left... two doors remaining... we can make it..." Li Xiu said, panting heavily.
"Two doors left... ten seconds... do you really think you’re a GPS?" Ye Yuzhen, half-believing, pushed open doors according to Li Xiu’s instructions.
One door... two doors...
Suddenly, Ye Yuzhen’s vision turned bright, with a shining screen inside the door. The countdown on the screen has only 004 seconds left, plus the seconds it took him to walk over. Li Xiu’s calculation of ti is astonishingly accurate, off by at most one second.
Ye Yuzhen sat on the ground as if completely exhausted, staring blankly at the countdown above.
"How could there be such a person!" Ye Yuzhen is now filled with extre fear.
This journey has shown Ye Yuzhen that the S-Class Dark Maze is many tis larger than Class A.
If relying on his navigation afterward just by luck, he definitely wouldn’t have made it.
He’s extrely grateful now, grateful he followed Li Xiu, which may have been the only path to survival.
"The S-Class Dark Maze doesn’t seem as difficult as imagined," Chu Jun said with a smile.
A Fei rolled his eyes at him; if it weren’t for Li Xiu leading the way, the S-Class Maze wouldn’t be just difficult.
Chu Jun smiled casually, "Don’t look at like that, I’m just trying to lighten the mood."
"S-Class trial complete, rewards are being randomly generated... Each person can choose two rewards..."
Li Xiu sits on the ground panting, sweat not stopping, as a screen with four options appeared in front of him.
Skills, Talents, Attributes, Demon Core, with no entry ticket option.
Li Xiu looked at the reward lists of the other three and found only Chu Jun had the entry ticket option.
"Those who wish to enter the Land of Trial, save one reward," Li Xiu said and chose the Attribute Reward.
The bracelet suddenly brought intense pain, making Li Xiu feel like countless small bugs were crawling inside his body.
The veins on his arm bulged as if sothing brutal was crawling inside the veins, visibly undulating.
"Apparently, luck is still on my side, here, take these," Chu Jun divided the prepared Trial Badges among Li Xiu, A Fei, and Ye Yuzhen.
Ye Yuzhen hesitated for a mont before accepting the Trial Badge and choosing the demon core reward.
An S-Class Demon Core, along with his previous savings, should be ample enough to buy a set of A-Class Demon Armor.
"Why didn’t you choose skills or talents?" Chu Jun looked at Ye Yuzhen and asked sowhat perplexed.
Magic Armor Masters’ demand for demon cores far exceeds that of Trial Takers, so generally, Trial Takers rarely choose the demon core reward unless forced by circumstances.
"I like money," Ye Yuzhen gripped the S-Class Demon Core in hand, feeling an unusual calm, and said with a smile.
Chu Jun chose a skill himself, while A Fei chose an attribute.
Li Xiu had already told her how to beco a real Trial Taker, and she also prepared to beco a real Trial Taker. As soon as she had a suitable chance, she would imdiately beco a real Trial Taker.
"Alright, I’m going to activate the entry ticket, get ready with your Trial Badges," Chu Jun said, selecting the entry ticket.
The entry ticket appeared before Chu Jun, transforming into a black vortex.
Li Xiu and the others hurriedly tossed their Trial Badges into it, and as soon as the Trial Badge entered the black hole, Li Xiu imdiately felt a massive force pulling him into the black hole.
