Chapter 337: This Is Different Than Originally Agreed!

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

When the stone gate finished the murals presentation, the group fell into a long silence.

It was indeed a really interesting story, however, the point was obviously not that story. Among those more than one thousand murals, ninety-nine percent of it described how Golden King turned the tide against all odds and established his world-shaking achievements, which demonstrated his penchant for luxury and flaunting temperament. However, the murals that were truly related to the champions trial were only the last few. Moreover, most of them were also used to highlight the wisdom and bravery of Golden King. But as to how Golden King broke through the sea of clouds that blocked the peak, the information was nearly zero.

”Looks like it will have to be self-reliance.” After thinking about it, w.a.n.g Lu concluded, ”This is a very interesting mural, and although it seems like Golden King took this opportunity to show off, I think it's more like he deliberately concealed his own experience. There seems to be something in the sea of clouds, but then again, this climbing the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak and picking up the Sun G.o.d Stone thing… is this really the real Beautiful Unique Pool Peak? Or it is just a replica made by Golden King, similar to the stones and potted plants in the backyards? And why would he design such a thing? This is really intriguing.”

Aya worriedly said, ”Rather than Golden King's intention, I'm more worried about our challenger that was mentioned by the stone gate. If I'm not mistaken, it should refer to the administrator of this place from Holy Light Religion, right? In this trial, he will personally compete with us. However, this kind of compet.i.tion is very unfavorable to us, because the information between the two sides is completely asymmetrical. He had completed his trail a long time ago, so he should be very familiar with it. However now, we have to start from scratch, completely unaware of the difficulties that we might encounter during the trial.”

w.a.n.g Lu said, ”That's very normal. The opposite party is the defending champion, so unavoidably he would be given favorable treatment. But, isn't such a thing very common? Both of us know that we are actually doing cross-level challenges. So far, all the enemies that we encountered have higher levels than us and had a more complete equipment. No matter from which aspect to look for, they are unfair fights, yet, we still won all the way till now. So, what's the so-called fair and unfair here?”

”You're right, it's just that…” Aya laughed in spite trying not to. ”I can't believe you're actually the one who is encouraging me.”

w.a.n.g Lu laughed. ”That's my duty as your gigolo!”

At the same time, in front of another stone gate, several people in holy light robe had just finished watching the murals.

”Darn it, obviously, we've already seen it, yet it forced us to watch it again. Golden King's love for showing off really didn't die even after he died.”

Paul, standing at the head of the team, sighed with his mouth slightly curled upward, showing a relaxed look. Behind him, in addition to Faceless One and Supreme Inquisitor Ferdinand, there were five other archbishop-level priests. They were pope's personal guards who, at the behest of the pope, joined in as a.s.sistants to the operation to make sure that it was foolproof. The addition of these people made Paul emboldened. After all, the opponents' strength was barely comparable to the advance middle-order professions. As for the spirit of the brave departed Knight King, if she had her peak strength, it might be very difficult for them, but now she was not a threat. Thus, in terms of strength, Holy Light Religion team occupied the absolute superiority. The reason why w.a.n.g Lu's team could go through the previous three pa.s.ses smoothly was not because of their own strength but because of the use of clever tricks. However, at the fourth level, the opponents were living people. Therefore, the compet.i.tion mainly relied on strength, without any possibility of using clever tricks.

Moreover, the advantage in strength was only one component in completing the trial. In fact, in the fourth pa.s.s, strength was not really the key to victory. What made Paul feel that the victory was already within his grasp was his advantage in experience.

”Later, you all must follow my footsteps. Before we reach the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak, there is a chaotic sea of clouds where we would often encounter a unique law of repression. For example, some area prohibits the existence of fire element; n.o.body can cast out any kind of fire. Some forbid the challengers to speak, and those who violate will surely die. And these laws could not be broken by brute force, it can only be carefully observed. In the time of Golden King, where he was still powerful, he had to do this step by step, progressing in accordance with the rules. Several times he even lost direction and fell into an extremely difficult situation. Therefore, that experience wasn't recorded in the murals. The last time we were able to pa.s.s through it because there was an element of luck in it.”

Paul did not say anything about the role of Faceless One but just encouraged other people's morale.

”However, this time, we are already familiar with it. Even after more than eighty years, I still remember every step of the way, from the bottom through the chaotic sea of clouds, all the way to Beautiful Unique Pool Peak. I am confident that I will not take a wrong step. So, you can follow me with confidence and follow my orders. Although we are not seeking for the authentic Sun G.o.d Stone, just to imitate the Golden King in honor of his exploits, the value of which is not below that artifact. Therefore, perhaps we should thank these desecrators, if not them, I will not have the means to restart this path.”

Paul said, laughed, and then was about to lead his teammates through the stone gate.

However, at this point, Faceless One, who listened from the end of the line, sarcastically said, ”It sounds like you already have the victory in your hand? What a joke. The funny thing about idiots is that they have the habit of habitual brainless optimism. I'm really looking forward to your hysterical shouting 'this is impossible'.”

Paul turned his head and angrily said, ”Faceless, if you're afraid, you can shut up and stay outside the door!”

”Afraid?” Upon hearing this, Faceless One said with a frivolous smile, ”I'm indeed afraid. I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will cry again and again, beg for my help on your knees, and rub your snot on my shoes.”

Paul felt both angry and shameful at the same time. ”Enough! Don't think that since you have had some performance in the champions trial that you can demean anyone you want. The last trial clearance was indeed thanks to your help, but all the steps necessary in that clearance have already been in my mind, so now it doesn't matter if we have you or not! You don't have any qualification to demean me in this trial!”

”Ooh, what an unyielding, messy statement, almost makes me touched,” Faceless One sarcastically said. He then pointed forward and said, ”Then let's wait and see.”

”That's right, let's go and see. You'll definitely pay for your arrogance and rudeness!”
