Chapter 203: The Final Trial
Chapter 203: The Final Trial
At the Governor's Mansion in Fucheng, Jiang Yuesheng's eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
It was clear that she had sensed her ring being triggered, and she was instantly furious!
"How dare he!"
She had only given the ring to Li Wu to ensure his safety, never expecting it to actually come in handy.
"Even in such a situation, he still has the audacity to provoke me. It seems he no longer wishes to live!"
As Jiang Yuesheng spoke, she immediately established contact with the ring.
However, upon making the connection, Jiang Yuesheng was taken aback.
The person holding the ring at this moment was not Li Wu, but Dudu.
Jiang Yuesheng quickly realized this and immediately asked, "How did this ring end up in your possession?"
Dudu looked at her in confusion as Jiang Yuesheng's phantom emerged from her pocket. Instinctively, she covered her pocket with both hands, her face filled with wariness. "Li Wu gave it to me! The ring is mine!"
Her guarded expression suggested she was afraid Jiang Yuesheng would take the ring from her.
Jiang Yuesheng had no time for this. "What just happened?"
Dudu replied, "The weirdo from Squad 003 came over, but I scared him off!"
Apparently, the young girl hadn't realized where her newfound strength to drive off Kong Yi had come from.
Jiang Yuesheng wanted to ask more, but before she could, she sensed a change in her surroundings.
At the Trial Tower.
Due to Kong Yi's death, the control of the Trial Tower reverted to its internal program, which began to inspect the tower's internal affairs.
"Inspection of the Trial Tower's interior reveals eight trial members, one of whom has passed through the eighth layer of the Hell Level Trial Stage. The final trial has begun!"
"The Trial Tower initiates the final trial, commencing the inspection of out-of-bounds violative powers within. The violative power has been identified and is being expelled."
As these two voices rang out, a force expelled Jiang Yuesheng's consciousness from her ring.
Meanwhile, another force was swirling around Li Wu's body.
After circling a few times without finding anything amiss, this force also disappeared.
"What's going on?"
At the Governor's Mansion!
Jiang Yuesheng, whose consciousness had just been expelled, abruptly opened her eyes.
She was somewhat taken aback.
Without delay, she sprang into action, heading towards the Legacy Ground.
At the same time, those who had been keeping a close eye on Squad 003 since their entry into the Legacy Ground also emerged from the shadows.
They, too, had sensed that something was amiss.
Kong Yi's aura seemed to have vanished.
When Jiang Yuesheng arrived at the Legacy Ground, there was already a middle-aged man present.
As soon as he saw Jiang Yuesheng approaching, he immediately bowed.
"Greetings, Miss Jiang..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a formidable pressure bore down on him, nearly forcing him to his knees.
"You better pray nothing happens to my people, or you and your backers should prepare for the worst!"
After saying this, Jiang Yuesheng ignored the middle-aged man, clearly still in a foul mood.
At this moment, the middle-aged man dared not provoke her further.
Although Jiang Yuesheng's words held no intimidation for him, as he saw Dudu's fist as harmless as her own, and while Jiang Yuesheng was powerful, he didn't believe she could do much to his backers.
But anyone with eyes could tell that the old woman was in a foul mood, and if he angered her, his backers wouldn't go to war with Jiang Yuesheng over him.
So, he stood quietly to the side, patiently waiting for the trial at the Legacy Ground to conclude.
Simultaneously, he silently prayed that Kong Yi, that madman, wouldn't harm Jiang Yuesheng's people, for if he did, the situation upon their exit would be difficult to control.
"No, if something happens, I might not be able to protect them. I should call for help!"
With this thought, the middle-aged man discreetly contacted his backers for assistance.
Meanwhile, inside the Trial Tower at the Legacy Ground.
Li Wu was still puzzled, wondering if a giant black rat had just scurried past him, when he noticed the Trial Tower undergoing changes.
A spiral staircase leading upwards had appeared in the Trial Tower where he was, seemingly inviting him to ascend.
"Piggie One, go up and take a look."
Li Wu scanned the area, choosing his little skeleton subordinate to scout ahead.
But despite his call, the little skeleton didn't budge.
Li Wu turned to look, only to see the skeleton twist its skull, displaying a disdainful expression.
It was clear the skeleton was telling Li Wu that its boss's boss wasn't its boss!
"Are you going or not? If not, I'll turn you into soup to feed to Tuntun!"
At Li Wu's words, Piggie One immediately sprang into action, gripping its long gun and climbing the stairs with swift strides.
Meanwhile, Li Wu took the opportunity to examine Piggie One, who had suddenly become spirited and proud.

Li Wu was taken aback after checking Peppa 1's attributes, and quickly examined the properties of the three pigs and Hahahaa.

Li Wu then checked the attributes of Little Skeleton and Little Goldfish.
After the eighth round, both of them reached the 2-Star Leader level. Little Goldfish didn't have any evolution requirements, but Little Skeleton's situation was similar to its underlings.
Its strength was capped at 2-Stars; after the 2-Star Leader stage, Little Skeleton's strength couldn't improve further without evolving.
However, Li Wu wasn't too disappointed.
After all, this journey to the Legacy Ground had already saved him a lot of effort and time.
If not for this trip, it would have taken Li Wu at least a year to enhance his summoned beasts to this level.
And it would have required a significant amount of resources.
"Looking at this, there seems to be another stage above. If we're lucky, Little Skeleton and the others might be able to evolve within the Trial Tower."
If Little Skeleton could complete its second evolution, Li Wu's competition for the Jiangnan University Team Leader position would be much easier.
With this in mind, Li Wu and his group climbed the stairs to the next level after confirming with Peppa 1 that there were no issues.
"If there are no surprises, this should be the ninth round. We'll probably face nine 3-Star Leader-level summoned beasts."
Li Wu muttered as he ascended, but before he reached the top, his eyes narrowed at the sight of the environment.
"Well, my luck isn't great. It seems like something unexpected is happening."
The space on this level wasn't very large, only a few hundred square meters.
In the center stood a golden altar, seemingly guarded by a summoned beast.
Next to the altar was a monument.
Li Wu walked over and saw the words 'Final Trial' boldly written on the monument.
The content below was the same as the first level, detailing the rules of the Final Trial.
The rules were simple: the Summoner had to step onto the altar and defeat the guarding Summoned Beast.
"Is it that simple?"
Li Wu was taken aback, then realized, "Did I miss something?"
He examined the monument carefully, and indeed, the word 'Summoner' was written in large characters.
Li Wu was stunned.
"What's going on? Does this mean that at this point, the target of the trial changes? Instead of the summoned beasts, I have to fight?"
Li Wu was bewildered, and when he saw the attributes of the Summoned Beast on the altar, he wasn't just bewildered—he was flustered.
---
Name: Altar Guardian
Strength: Variable (Adjusts its form and strength based on the Summoner on the altar)
Description: If you step up, it might copy the attributes of any Summoned Beast under your command, and then it will fight you!
Most likely, it will copy Little Skeleton or Little Goldfish.
---
Can he go up there?
If Li Wu went up, whether the Altar Guardian copied Little Skeleton or Little Goldfish, he felt he could only get beaten, and he didn't like being on the receiving end.
"No, no, no! I must not go up there!"
Li Wu was determined not to step onto the altar.
But damn it, it seemed like the Final Trial was mandatory. Just as Li Wu decided not to go up, a golden beam of light enveloped him.
Then Li Wu found himself involuntarily walking towards the altar.
At the same time, the Altar Guardian on the altar transformed into Little Skeleton's form...
