Time slipped away quietly amidst the fierce carnage.

Ye Chuyun manipulated the invisible sword spirit, like a diligent gardener constantly pruning the surging "weeds".

The Myriad Transformations Armor effortlessly deflects all close-range attacks, constantly simulating various elemental properties to make its defense increasingly flawless.

However, the speed at which the monsters were surging did not slow down; on the contrary, it seemed to be accelerating.

Although these monsters still posed no threat to him, this endless war of attrition was a huge test of his mental and physical strength.

Half an hour later, Ye Chuyun felt a slight sense of fatigue in her sea of ​​consciousness.

The continuous stimulation of the sword spirit was almost too much for him, even with his fourth-level divine sense from the secret technique.

The physical exertion is also considerable; maintaining the Myriad Transformations Armor is not without its costs.

He glanced at the other trial participants on either side of him.

The situation is even more worrying.

Of the trio, Oni-Blade's movements noticeably slowed, his breathing became heavy, and beads of sweat dripped from beneath his white mask.

Chi Xue was drenched in sweat, and her crimson dress was torn in several places by the monster, revealing an inner armor that appeared to be made of both ice and fire elements.

She relied on her unpredictable movements to maneuver, but she was clearly at her limit.

Only Yama remained tireless, reaping lives with each swing of his scythe, but his aura seemed much weaker than before.

The unicorn youth was no longer as dashing as before; his movements with the purple sword now appeared somewhat clumsy.

The single horn on his forehead gleamed faintly, as if he were using some kind of bloodline power to aid in the battle.

The other trial participants fared even worse, with the white light indicating elimination flashing several times within the past half hour.

The remaining people were all covered in blood and wounds, and most of them were struggling to hold on by relying on their signature weapons and willpower far beyond that of ordinary people.

The entire Endless Trial Corridor fell into an eerie silence, with no other sounds except for the roars of monsters, the clash of weapons, and the occasional muffled groans and screams.

Everyone was pushed to their limits by the endless horde of monsters, so who had the mind to pay attention to others or even scheme against each other?

Just surviving and killing a few more monsters to earn points is already the best they can do.

"Will we ever be able to kill all these monsters?" Ye Chuyun felt a growing sense of anxiety.

The points earned from killing monsters were steadily increasing, but looking at the monsters that kept surging out like a tide, he couldn't help but wonder if this was an endless torment.

What puzzled him even more was the number of buff items that dropped.

Since that [Water Spirit Orb], he has never been able to obtain any items from monsters.

“This isn’t right…” Ye Chuyun frowned slightly. “With my 100% drop rate talent, even with a very low drop rate, killing tens of thousands of monsters shouldn’t result in only one item. Unless…”

He thought of a possibility.

"Unless the vast majority of these monsters don't carry any power-up items at all."

"The probability of obtaining items from their drop list is zero or infinitely close to zero."

Only in this way can we explain why he was powerless even with his 100% drop rate bonus.

These monsters seem to be generated by the rules, purely tools used as a points system.

The amount of buff items that will be lost may have been planned in advance.

His guess was soon corroborated by other trial participants.

"Damn it, I've been hitting them for ages and not a single hair has broken!"

"My hands are numb from chopping, and my points have increased, but are these power-up items a scam?"

"Looks like that kid really got lucky and ran into the only monster that can drop items."

"I thought there would be some good loot later, but it was all for nothing..."

Scattered complaints arose, filled with disappointment.

Clearly, during this long half hour, apart from Ye Chuyun's initial Water Spirit Orb, no other buff item appeared.

This made those who were originally somewhat jealous of Ye Chuyun feel much more at ease, and even a little gloated.

See, your luck has run its course.

Just when everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted...

[Warning, warning! 】

[The first wave of monsters will end in one minute!]

[All existing monsters will be automatically eliminated in one minute.]

[Points for this stage will be tallied at that time, and preliminary opportunities will be allocated based on rankings.]

[All trial participants, please prepare yourselves.]

The sound was like heavenly music, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had survived a disaster.

"It's finally over!"

"One minute! Just one more minute!"

"Good heavens, we've finally seen the end!"

The atmosphere of despair was instantly replaced by the ecstatic joy of surviving a disaster.

The previously listless trainees seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline, bursting forth with their last bit of strength as they attacked the monster before them with even greater frenzy.

Ye Chuyun also felt refreshed, and her fatigue seemed to have lessened considerably.

He took a deep breath, and the sword spirit in his sea of ​​consciousness vibrated more intensely. The invisible sword intent expanded outward like a storm, instantly clearing out the monsters in the surrounding area, accumulating power for the final minute.

A minute that usually passes in the blink of an eye seems exceptionally long at this moment.

Every second, the trial participants were overdrawing their limits, and every second, monsters fell with a roar.

As the last second passed...

"Om-!"

An invisible wave swept across the entire Endless Trial Corridor.

All the monsters that were attacking frantically froze in their tracks.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies, like grains of sand in the wind, rapidly dissipated from the edges, turning into specks of light and merging into the surrounding chaos and nothingness.

One moment they were shouting battle cries that shook the heavens, the next they fell into dead silence.

Only ninety-five disheveled figures remained, standing on their respective paths of light.

ended.

It's really over.

"Plop!" "Plop!"

Several trial participants were completely exhausted, collapsing on their own paths of light, panting heavily, not even wanting to move a finger.

They endured it entirely through sheer willpower and physical strength, reaching their physical and mental limits.

The trio were still standing, but they were in extremely poor condition.

The one-horned youth propped himself up with his sword, wiped his sweat, and his eyes, still bright and alert, scanned his surroundings before finally settling on Ye Chuyun.

Seeing that he was simply sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breathing, unlike the others who were in such a sorry state, their interest grew even stronger.

Ye Chuyun did indeed feel that she was mentally exhausted.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the light path, activating the Star Guiding Technique, and his suppressed divine sense began to slowly recover.

At the same time, he was carefully reviewing his use of the two great supernatural powers in the battle just now, especially the simulation and adaptation of different attribute powers by the Myriad Transformation Spirit Armor, from which he gained a lot.

The short break did not last long.

The sound rang out again about fifteen minutes later:

The first wave of monsters has ended.

[Start calculating points.....]

[The points rankings are now being published starting from the bottom!]
