670 The Seven Great Warriors (2/2)
The eight crimson-robed people surrounded the white-robed woman. Their demeanors were respectful, clearly showing reverence to this woman.
The monstrous beasts that surrounded them first faced the eight crimson-robed people. However, most of the monstrous beasts did not die at the hands of the crimson-robed people, but rather at the hands of the white-robed woman.
If Mo Wen were here, he would surely have marveled at this scene. Having a faction to support you and have your back was definitely convenient. The eight crimson-robed people injured the surrounding monstrous beasts around the woman but did not kill them. Then, the white-robed woman would deal the final blow. It was as though the eight of them were constantly working hard to support the white-robed woman. The results of the eight of them were all transferred to this one person.
Such a method could cause a person to grow rapidly in a very short amount of time.
In reality, not only this team but many teams were using the same method. First, everyone would cultivate one person together, and then the person would kill more powerful monstrous beasts and cultivate his other companions.
The reason Mo Wen was only ranked 28th was not because he had killed too few monstrous beasts, but because he was alone and did not have a team to support him.
Recalling his soul power from his declarative memory, Mo Wen glanced across the surrounding wastelands. They were completely empty, with not a single monstrous beast in sight. Mo Wen had killed all the monstrous beasts in this area.
The sun slowly rose. It was already dawn. Mo Wen turned and prepared to head out to find the next wave of monstrous beasts.
However, he had just taken a few steps when a voice sounded from the sky.
”Attention all human ancient martial art practitioners. The double cultivation task will commence shortly. Seven human warriors will be chosen at random from the list of the top 30 strongest practitioners. They will represent all human ancient martial art practitioners in this double task. Once they complete the task, they will obtain double the cultivation rewards for one day.”
The Tower Spirit's voice spread to the mind of all the human ancient martial art practitioners. In an instant, everyone knew what this meant.
The Tower Spirit had launched a double task. Once the human ancient martial art practitioners completed it, they could obtain twice the cultivation increase from killing monstrous beasts. For human ancient martial art practitioners who were fighting for their lives to kill monstrous beasts, this was a godsend. It meant that the speed at which they could increase their cultivation would be doubled. Their chances of making it through this Game of Death would, therefore, increase quite substantially.
After being given this piece of information, quite a few people exchanged excited looks. With one day's worth of double cultivation increase, it was very likely that all human ancient martial art practitioners would be able to reach the realm of Martial Arts Grandmaster. Even if some could not do so, they would at least reach the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. With such a huge lineup, encountering the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings that were twice as strong would most likely not pose such a threat.
However, some people still frowned. The Tower Spirit certainly had its purpose for setting up this double task. If it did so in order to keep the game balanced, that would be a huge problem.
The appearance of the double task most likely meant that the difficulty of the challenge they were about to face was even higher. If they could complete the double task and obtain the double cultivation increase, that was naturally good news. If they could not complete the task and failed to get a double increase, then things would most likely be really bad for them.
Mo Wen was shocked. When the double task appeared, he immediately realized that something was off. From his experience in this space, even without the double increase, many people most likely would still be able to reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. Among 300 human ancient martial art practitioners, there were at least 50 who could reach the level of Martial Arts Grandmaster.
After all, many people were originally Martial Arts Grandmasters. Even if they weren't, most ancient martial art practitioners were at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm. Together with the three tool lights, it was not difficult for them to reach the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm if they kept killing monstrous beasts for three days.
Right now, a double task was assigned. Once completed, most likely at least half of the people would break through to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. On the surface, it seemed to be great news for the human ancient martial art practitioners. But they must not forget that this was a game. A game, most importantly, needed to be balanced. It would be impossible for the Tower Spirit to arrange a one-sided game. The more powerful they were, the more powerful their enemies would be.
”Congratulations, you have become one of the Seven Great Human Warriors. You will automatically accept the double task. For the sake of humanity's existence, please give it your all.”
”Transferring to the task will begin shortly…”
”Counting down in...ten...nine…”
Mo Wen had not expected that he would be randomly selected by the Tower Spirit as one of the Seven Great Human Warriors, representing all the human ancient martial art practitioners to complete this double task.
”Three...two...one, transferring to the task, status completed.”
Following the Tower Spirit's voice, Mo Wen discovered that his surroundings suddenly shifted. He was no longer in the wastelands but in a stone ocean.
He stood on a protruding rock, gazing into the distance. All he could see was endless rugged rock formations.
As well as Mo Wen, a few more people suddenly appeared on some of the rocks nearby. Including him, there were seven of them in total.
The Seven Great Human Warriors! A strange idea welled up in Mo Wen's mind.
