"Hahaha, thank you!" Kong Yun laughed.
Xiao Xing looked at Kong Yun and said, "Do you want to try the second trial? With your current strength, you should be able to pass the second trial."
"Is there a reward for passing the second trial?" Kong Yun asked.
"Yes, the rewards are even richer than the first trial." Xiao Xing nodded.
"Needless to say, of course I'm going to break through!" Kong Yun laughed heartily. He had obtained the Heaven Breaking Spear's secret technique in the first round. Since he could pass the second round, he naturally had to.
Xiao Xing nodded and pointed. A mutated beast suddenly landed in front of Kong Yun.
"Illusion?" Kong Yun was stunned.
"Don't underestimate this phantom. It's used by Master to train disciples. If he hits it, you'll really get hurt." Xiao Xing kindly reminded.
Although this mutated beast was condensed from energy, it was no different from a real mutated beast. If it was attacked by this mutated beast, its body would definitely be injured.
"According to the strength of your Earth, this is a General-level mutated beast." Xiao Xing said.
"General level" Instantly, ten thousand grass and mud horses galloped past Kong Yun's heart.
The General level mutated beast and the Azure Flood Dragon were powerful existences at the same level. He almost died when dealing with a Half Flood Dragon. Now that he was dealing with a General level mutated beast, wasn't this courting death?
However, the second challenge had already begun. The mutated beast condensed from the energy was a giant wolf, and every single strand of its fur was incomparably clear.
"Kill!" Kong Yun lifted his spear and rushed forward.
"Pu!" The giant wolf opened its mouth and spat out an ice pick. A layer of frost actually appeared on the floor of Blackstone Palace!
"Kalala!" Kong Yun's pupils constricted. This giant wolf was actually able to control the cold energy.
"This is a giant frost wolf. It can control ice and snow." Xiao Xing said.
"Ding!" The spear shattered the icicle and turned over the body of the Frost Wolf. A spear pierced out and a spiral spear shot out.
"Ka la!" Speaking of which, a layer of ice armor appeared on the Frost Wolf's back, blocking the Spiral Spear's power.
The Frost Wolf let out a muffled groan. The ice armor shattered into ice fragments in the air. The Spiral Spear still injured the Frost Wolf. Its silver fur was bright red and the General-ranked mutated Frost Wolf bled.
Although it was only a body formed from energy, it was all too realistic. If it weren't for Xiao Xing's reminder, Kong Yun would have thought that he was fighting a General-level mutated beast.
At the same time, Kong Yun was also shocked that he had injured the Frost Wolf with a single shot. This Frost Wolf's strength was naturally inferior to that of the Azure Flood Dragon, but it was still a General-level mutated beast. Kong Yun could not possibly be the opponent of this Frost Wolf, let alone injure it with a single shot.
Half-dragon was not a General-level mutated beast, but his defense was so strong that Kong Yun was helpless. If Kong Yun and Huo Feng hadn't attacked together to break through Half-dragon's defense, he wouldn't have been able to kill that Half-dragon.
The Frost Wolf's ice armor defense was several points stronger than the Half Dragon's electric current shield, but under Kong Yun's spiral spear, it shattered into ice fragments and directly injured the Frost Wolf. This span was simply too large.
This was precisely the Heaven Shattering Spear that Kong Yun cultivated. A secret art of the Blackstone Palace had indeed greatly increased Kong Yun's strength.
"Roar!" This spear also angered the Frost Wolf. Dozens of icicles floated around its enormous body. The Frost Wolf jumped back fiercely and shot dozens of icicles at Kong Yun in one breath.
"Drink!" The special ability in Kong Yun's body condensed on the spear. A flame actually rose from the spear!
"Oh!" Xiao Xing narrowed his eyes and looked at the flames on Kong Yun's spear. Kong Yun had awakened a metal ability. He had already known this. However, he never expected Kong Yun's metal ability to have evolved to this extent. Metal abilities could not produce flames. There was only one explanation. Kong Yun had refined fire-attributed metal.
"It seems to be Fire Fluorescent Iron. This brat's luck is pretty good." Xiao Xing thought.
"Spiral Spear Strength!" Kong Yun thrust out his spear, and the flaming tornado smashed into dozens of icicles.
"Ding ding ding ding!" A series of crisp sounds rang out as the icicle smashed into the flaming tornado, shattering and melting.
"Roar!" The Frost Wolf opened its mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of ice and snow.
The flaming tornado collided with the ice and snow, causing a stalemate.
"Give it to me!" Kong Yun's ability was poured into the spear, and the flaming tornado grew several times stronger, engulfing the ice and snow in an instant!
"Pu!" The flaming tornado pierced through the Frost Wolf's body, and the frost condensed from the energy instantly dissipated. The General-ranked mutated Frost Wolf was actually assassinated by Kong Yun's spear.
"Really? General level mutated beast died just like that?" Kong Yun looked at the spear in his hand in disbelief.
Even if a Giant Frost Wolf was the weakest of the General-level mutated beasts, it was not something an S-level mutated beast could resist. Moreover, judging from how skillfully this Giant Frost Wolf was able to control the cold energy, the difference in strength between the Giant Frost Wolf and the Azure Flood Dragon was limited.
If it was Kong Yun from two years ago, even if he used a hundred swords, he might not be able to break through the Frost Wolf's ice armor.
It wasn't that the Frost Wolf was too weak, but Kong Yun's current strength was much stronger than two years ago.
"Sure enough, it's very simple for your strength to pass the second stage." Xiao Xing said.
"I've passed the second challenge, right? I wonder what kind of reward I'll get?" Kong Yun asked.
The corner of Xiao Xing's mouth curled up, "Hehe, naturally, they are all good things. They are all treasures that my master obtained while traveling through the universe."
This time, two metal boxes appeared. It wasn't for Kong Yun to choose one, but for Kong Yun to choose the other. As for what was inside the box, even Xiao Xing didn't know.
"If you want to become the master of the Blackstone Palace, how many challenges do you need to pass?" Kong Yun put the two metal boxes into his space bag.
'"Master has set up a total of five challenges. The first two challenges are fairly simple. Any slightly outstanding genius in the universe can pass. However, the difficulty of the third challenge will suddenly increase. Even one out of a hundred geniuses in the universe may not be able to pass." Xiao Xing said.
Old Man Blackstone had seen too many geniuses before. If he wanted to inherit his mantle, he must be a top genius in the universe. Geniuses that ran across one or two planets were simply unable to enter his eyes.
"The third trial, even if your strength is ten times stronger, there is no hope." Xiao Xing's words completely dispelled Kong Yun's thoughts of breaking through the third trial.
Inside one of the metal boxes was a token, It was dark, It was also carved with the words Blackstone Palace, It was the token to enter the Blackstone Palace. If Kong Yun felt that he could challenge the third trial, he could use this token to teleport to the Blackstone Palace. At the same time, this token was also a protective talisman. Once he encountered an irresistible danger, he could activate this token and hide in the Blackstone Palace.
The only drawback was that the Blackstone Token was a disposable consumable item that would expire after use.
Seeing that Kong Yun wasn't satisfied, Xiao Xing couldn't help but snort, "You just passed the second trial. You're barely a nominal disciple of your master. It's not enough to have a blackstone to protect your life?"
"Same!" Kong Yun smiled and nodded. This black stone token was equivalent to a life.
Kong Yun impatiently opened the second metal box, "Secret technique stones, Secret technique stones, must be Secret technique stones!"
Kong Yun prayed that the second word in the metal box must be a secret art stone. He had already tasted the sweetness of a secret art. If he had another secret art, his strength would probably increase by another level.
Unfortunately, Kong Yun's luck was clearly exhausted. The second metal box was no longer a secret art stone, but a capsule.
"What is this capsule?" Kong Yun frowned.
"Damn, your luck is too good." Xiao Xing almost couldn't help but curse. The metal box was actually filled with this thing.
"Is this precious?" Kong Yun was stunned. It was just a capsule, so he wasn't so excited.
"What do you know? This is an interstellar battleship that Master purchased before becoming the master of the Star System. Although it is an obsolete product, the pill is still incomparably precious. With the technology of the Wildlands Star System, it will be impossible to create such a powerful interstellar battleship in another two thousand years." Xiao Xing looked at Kong Yun with disdain.
"How strong is this starship?" Kong Yun asked.
"What do you mean? Although this interstellar warship is obsolete, the main cannon is a Star Destroyer Cannon. From the looks of it, you don't understand what the Star Destroyer Cannon means. It's a cannon that can shatter a planet." Xiao Xing said.
Kong Yun's mouth was wide open. A single cannon could shatter a planet. The power of this Star Destroyer Cannon was too terrifying.
"It's rare. There are many interstellar battleships in the universe. There are even larger battleships than planets." Xiao Xing chuckled. The technology in the universe was far beyond what an earthling like Kong Yun could understand.
The capsule contained Old Man Blackstone's interstellar warship, the Dauntless, which was 2,000 meters long. It was equipped with two Star Destroyers, a hundred sub-cannons, and 2,000 laser cannons. The semi-infinite energy of the light material engine was enough to allow the Dauntless to sail in the universe for tens of thousands of years.
Originally, he thought that the space objects on Earth were already heaven-defying technology, but compared to this capsule that was enough to hold the next two thousand meter interstellar warship, it really wasn't enough.
As a farewell gift, Xiao Xing gave Kong Yun a few crystals from the Blackstone Palace. They weren't anything valuable anyway.
"Hurry up and cultivate. I think you have potential. You should be able to pass the checkpoint set by your master within a hundred years." Xiao Xing said.
Kong Yun's feet softened and he almost fell into the magma. A hundred years ago, his hair would have already turned gray. It was hard to say whether he was in the world or not.
What Kong Yun didn't know was that to the Starfield Master, time was measured in tens of thousands of years. A hundred years was simply too insignificant.
