Chapter 546: You Cant Take It Yourself (2/2)

-Congratulations, you are qualified for the last phase of the Heavenly Competition.-

Krune sighed in relief after that.

'In the end, there was a phase were strength meant nothing. What they tested was the cultivators and demon beasts capability of thinking out of the box. How many or how long would they take to understand that the clues within oneself were not for them to use? Quite an interesting exam. It has little to do with intelligence. In a certain way, one had to be a lot more 'daring' to do what I did. There was also a question of fear. At that moment, when the copy was about to hit me, I almost fled from it. The amount of Spiritual Energy coming out from the fake wisp was really terrifying.'

Krune then returned to his human form and began to wait with the others. At some point...

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 39.-

Laka appeared outside, which Krune immediately recognized. It was just that he was full of injuries on his body. Not too surprisingly, Laka probably attacked the copies using his full power at first, which causes those injuries.

”Sure enough, if there was someone I thought to be 'daring' in that place, it was definitely you.”

Laka looked at Krune as well and began to laugh out loud.

”Hahaha! Your grandfather, Laka, can be anything but afraid!”

Krune smiled and shook his head. Even with a body damaged like that, he still can find a chance to brag.

Laka also returned to his human form and took a few healing pills out. He swallowed all of them and concentrated on recovering from his injuries.

”Still, who was the one to think about this crazy idea? I almost killed myself in the first strike! I swear I'll get it back ten folds!”

Krune couldn't help but laugh. Such a complex formation, it definitely wasn't made by a single person or beast. Laka would need to hunt quite a lot of experts who worked on it.

Time passed, and the number of participants who came out increased.

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 71.-

Iem Turo from the Dalim Universe exited.

Not only him, but other favorites for the five slots of the Dalin Universe kept coming out as well.

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 97.-

A female cultivator called Karen Zetil, one of the favorites for the five slots and a representative of the Orchiv Universe, came out. The Orchiv Universe is one of the five actual Slots Owner. Obviously, the Orchiv Universe wanted to keep their slot, so they are participating as well.

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 130.-

A demon beast that looked like a giant snake made of lava appeared. It was a Divine Beast called Burning Heaven Snake. This race was born in the molten lava at the center of the planets. In a certain way, this race looked like the wisps. That's because their souls were also located inside their Lava Core and not inside a brain. The Burning Heaven Snake's name was Tiango, a male demon beast of the Bondro Universe and another strong contestant for the five slots.

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 179.-

Hanan finally came out of the Mirror World. His face was pale, and his Spiritual Energy was is chaos. Nonetheless, Krune could see his sigh of relief when he appeared outside.

”Who the hell thought about such an absurd idea?!”

Krune and Laka laughed out loud, too, after hearing those words.

”Don't worry, you have Laka to help you find the guys who built the formation in the future.”

Hanan sighed and sat down on the floor. He seemed to be in an even worse state than Laka.

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 195.-

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 206.-

Cultivators and demon beasts appeared one after another. Between them, more and more famous figures could be seen too. From the number 100 onward, most of them seemed to have suffered severe injuries. Sure enough, it wasn't easy to simply let their copies jump at them as if they were about to explode. It really needed a lot of courage.

Finally...

-Number of participants who exited the Mirror World: 256.-

The last participant qualified for the final phase was decided!
