Killing monsters with a 100% explosion rate, are you luckier than me?

Congratulations! You've passed the Synchronous Racing Challenge!

[Evaluation: You were forced into a life-or-death situation; with extraordinary courage and wisdom, you found the only way out!]

[Reward calculation in progress...]

As the notification sound rang out, Ye Chuyun vaguely detected a hint of approval in it.

He stopped at the finish line. Although his breathing was a little disordered and his body was weak from the extreme operation he had just performed, his eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.

The platform shook, the darkness receded once more, and the magnificent golden body of Buddha appeared.

This time, the black chain binding his left hand cracked under the strain, and the curse vanished.

The Buddha's compassionate gaze fell upon Ye Chuyun, and he nodded slightly with a hint of approval.

Then he opened his left palm.

Another golden ball of light flew out and landed in Ye Chuyun's hand.

The golden light faded, revealing a ring inlaid with an earthy yellow gemstone.

[Ring of Power (left)]

[Type: Special Accessory (One of the left/right sets)]

【Effect:】

Power Authority: When worn, it permanently increases the wearer's base strength attribute by 50% and greatly enhances their understanding and control of the laws of power.

Earth Pulse: When actively activated, the next attack launched by stomping on the ground is increased by 300% in power and comes with the effects of "Shock" and "Immobilization".

Power Resonance (Set Effect 1/2): When worn simultaneously with the [Ring of Power Source (Right)], activate the set effect "Power Resonance". The base strength increase effect is stacked to 100%, and a new ability "Power Burst" is unlocked - burns blood energy for a short time to increase the strength attribute by an additional 100% for ten breaths. The cooldown time is one hour.

? ? ? (Set bonus 2/2, not yet unlocked)

[Description: This is a manifestation of the Buddha's left palm, representing "foundation and support." Holding it will grant you power as solid and unshakeable as the earth.]

"A permanent 50% increase in strength??" Ye Chuyun stared wide-eyed, thinking in disbelief.

A permanent 50% boost—what does that even mean?

It should be noted that his current strength attribute, after removing the talent bonus, is already 382 million.

If we increase it by another 50% on this basis...

Then his strength attribute can directly soar to 573 million.

With just this one attribute, he doesn't need any talent bonuses or supernatural powers; he can unleash tens of millions of combat power with a wave of his hand.

With the addition of this power resonance effect, the power amplification can even increase to 100% again.

The effect is amazing.

Ye Chuyun put the ring on the finger of her left hand.

A surge of explosive power instantly coursed through my entire body.

I looked at the panel.

The combat power has surged by another 400 million, now reaching 3400 million.

This ring alone can boost your combat power by 400 million.

It smells amazing!

"Now that I've unlocked my left palm, I've obtained such powerful equipment, and it's a two-piece set. So it seems the other piece is on my right palm." Ye Chuyun looked at the ring on her hand with satisfaction.

The illusory image of the Buddha slowly dissipated.

He returned to the rotunda and looked at the remaining three doors.

Without hesitation, he walked toward the second door from the left.

According to calculations, this door corresponds to the trial of the Buddha's right foot.

Pushing open the heavy door, Ye Chuyun was once again stunned by the scene before her.

This is a completely enclosed stone chamber.

The stone chamber was small, square in shape, about ten zhang in length and width. The walls, floor and ceiling were all made of a kind of dark, huge stone, and there were no doors or windows.

At the same time, the ground was covered with twisted patterns, densely packed.

The air was still, filled with a sense of oppression.

"here we go again."

Upon seeing the familiar figure, Ye Chuyun couldn't help but roll her eyes.

In the center of the stone chamber, there also stood a mirror image.

However, this time, the state of the mirror image was completely different from before.

It wasn't standing, but kneeling on the ground, its hands pressed tightly against a paving stone, veins bulging on its forehead, as if it were trying its best to suppress something.

There was a hint of anxiety in its eyes.

[Challenge: The Symbiotic Dilemma]

[Rules: You and your mirror image are trapped within the "Demon Sealing Array." The stone chamber floor is engraved with "Shared Fate Array Patterns." When the array patterns are fully lit (estimated time: fifteen minutes), the stone chamber will be completely annihilated, and you and your mirror image will perish simultaneously.]

[Note: The mirror image is connected to your life and mind. It is not your enemy, but your only helper to escape. Sense it carefully and find a way out.]

[Tip: Synchronization can also be helpful.]

"What on earth is going on now?"

Ye Chuyun was shocked!

"According to the rules, the mirror image is here to help me?"

This completely overturned the pattern of the previous two trials.

Ye Chuyun immediately looked at the ground and saw that the twisted patterns were starting from the edges and slowly emitting a faint scarlet light, spreading towards the center.

It seems that his task now is to do everything in his power to stop these lines from spreading.

What the mirror image was suppressing with all its might was a stone slab at the core of the array pattern that was trying to bulge out.

That seems to be some kind of mechanism?

Ye Chuyun tried to move, but found that her feet were as if welded to the ground, unable to move even half a step.

An invisible force confined him to a corner of the stone chamber.

"What the hell?"

He tried to attack the wall, but the Godslayer Sword struck the dark boulder, leaving only a shallow white mark, unable to break through it at all.

"So that's why the rules say I have to rely on the mirror image?" Ye Chuyun immediately calmed down and met the gaze of the mirror image kneeling on the ground.

The moment his eyes met those of the mirror image, a strange connection was established.

He could almost feel the immense pressure the mirror image was under, and at the same time, he could feel some of his own power being continuously transmitted to the mirror image through some special connection, supporting it in suppressing the pressure.

"Life is interconnected, strength is shared..." Ye Chuyun instantly understood.

The mirror image is borrowing his power.

If he forcibly severs this connection, or if the mirror image cannot withstand the force and the mechanism kicks in, the array pattern will likely be completed instantly, and both of them will be destroyed simultaneously, resulting in a failed trial.

"It's suppressing the mechanism to delay the activation of the array, buying me time," Ye Chuyun's mind raced.

"But it can't be in two places at once. The key to getting out of this predicament must be on my side, or it will require the cooperation of both of us."

Ye Chuyun carefully observed her surroundings.

The patterns on the wall in the corner where he was imprisoned seemed slightly different from those elsewhere, being more complex.

Ye Chuyun reached out and tried to touch the wall.

The instant his finger touched a rune on the wall...
