Mu Qingxue abruptly stopped, her eyes lighting up with delight, "Then let’s hurry up and get out of here."

These ancient trees stood utterly still, lush and green, appearing harmless, which unconsciously lulled her into letting down her guard. Her steps turned cheerful as she skipped toward the edge of the barrier, with little caution in her mind.

Xiao Ye understood just how formidable these ancient trees were—at minimum Grandmaster Realm, some even beyond the Great Venerable—if Mu Qingxue went out there, she’d be dead for sure!

Yet he just watched as Mu Qingxue headed out.

As Mu Qingxue reached the edge of the barrier, her temples started to twitch uncontrollably. *[Future Prediction: Foresee the next few seconds in detail]*—her innate skill activated automatically, and scenes of imminent danger flashed vividly through her mind.

"!" Her face changed drastically, and she quickly stopped, not daring to step past the barrier. She patted her modest chest, startled, "That was close, I almost got myself killed."

"Xiao Ye, the air outside is filled with toxins. If you go out, you’ll get infected with an ancient virus—you’ll experience neural numbness and decreased bodily functions, then end up a vegetable, just more food for these ancient trees."

*Time and space types were incredibly sensitive to warning signs of danger.*

*Time types could automatically trigger their innate ability to predict danger; Xiao Ye knew that, so he was a bit reassured.*

"It’s fine, go on out."

Xiao Ye kicked Mu Qingxue on the skin drum, booting her right out of the barrier. She flipped backwards, landing lightly on the ground, looking shocked and ticked off. Clenching her fists, she shouted,

"What the hell, I literally just said it’s dangerous out here!"

Xiao Ye shook his head, "No matter how dangerous it is, this still counts as a trial ground, not a death sentence. Otherwise, no trialist would ever pass this level of the test."

"What, you, the former number one prodigy in Devil City, too scared to take the trial now?"

Provoked by Xiao Ye, the prideful Mu Qingxue glared with her beautiful eyes and thrust out her flat chest, "Who says? Please, I, Mu Qingxue, could clear this trial with my eyes closed—piece of cake."

Xiao Ye, too, stepped out of the barrier.

Sure enough, the air was thick with negative factors. He inhaled just once and already felt a mild discomfort. *Even with a body that had evolved like his, if it were anyone else, it wouldn’t be just a little discomfort.*

Mu Qingxue frowned, "My legs are numb—I can’t move, feels like a cramp."

She wasn’t a Medical Dao prodigy, didn’t have the relevant attribute energies to purge the ancient virus or suppress the symptoms of poisoning.

Xiao Ye barely felt it, moving without an issue.

He operated [Wood Element Control] and [Life and Death Control]’s [Life Control], using wood element and life factors separately to recharge himself and resist the ancient virus and its mild symptoms as they seeped into his body.

"Your constitution isn’t upgraded, no Medical Dao attribute—give it another minute and you’ll turn into a vegetable," Xiao Ye teased.

Mu Qingxue was scandalized, a bit panicked, "So what do I do, am I about to die?"

Xiao Ye took out his Bronze Token and activated the pathogen absorption function.

A ray of radiant light projected out, bathing Mu Qingxue like warm sunlight, and she instantly felt comfortable all over. Every trace of the ancient virus in her body was completely absorbed away. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The pathogens were gone. Her symptoms eased up a ton—so much it could be ignored.

Mu Qingxue bounced around happily, blurting, "I’m fine!"

"Xiao Ye, you really are something—I knew I had good taste, you’re better than anybody else!"

"You weren’t really worried I’d get poisoned at all, were you?"

It was the first time Xiao Ye had been praised by Mu Qingxue like that. *He felt like he was floating.* He grinned, "Nope! If you’ve got more to say, say it—I love hearing it."

The surrounding primeval Ancient Molo Trees didn’t move an inch, nor did they show any sign of attacking the two of them.

A virtual screen appeared above the barrier, displaying the trial content for this level in the script of an ancient era.

The two of them couldn’t read the ancient script, but as they gazed at it, the meaning of the words automatically surfaced in their minds.

[Trial Content: Under assault from the Rigid Virus, survive for one day. Special note: The heart of the primeval Ancient Molo Tree can disperse the virus and cure rigid symptoms.]

Mu Qingxue grasped it, "These trees are up to something. If we try to take their hearts, we’ll probably get attacked."

The light projected by the Bronze Token remained shining on her.

[Body-Phantom Conversion: Freely transform your own body and objects between real and phantom states. Phantom State: invisible to the naked eye and spiritual senses, intangible, immune to a certain degree of any attribute attacks.]

Xiao Ye transformed himself into Phantom State, calling out, "Just stand there and watch, I’ll take care of the Ancient Molo Trees."

[Spatial Blade: Formless, colorless, silent, without a trace.]

A blade, sharp and condensed from space factors, slashed horizontally at an Ancient Molo Tree at Grandmaster Realm, Two-Star.

"Pshh!" A single sound!

The Ancient Molo Tree was sliced clean in two at the trunk.

Just as Xiao Ye thought he’d succeeded, the Ancient Molo Tree stabbed its branches into the soil, fusing its wound together tightly. In less than ten seconds, the wound vanished and its injury completely healed.

Xiao Ye was a bit stunned. The Ancient Molo Tree, with its [Wood Attribute], possessed truly outrageous healing abilities.

He attacked again—ten Spatial Blades, hacking down from above and slicing at that Ancient Molo Tree.

The Ancient Molo Tree even reacted in advance. Countless branches shot out like vines, weaving together in front of the trunk, trying desperately to block incoming danger.

"Pshh!" "Pshh!" "Pshh!"

But Xiao Ye, at Grandmaster Realm, Six-Star, unleashed those [Spatial Blades]—there was no way a Two-Star Ancient Molo Tree could withstand that. As soon as the blades struck, both branches and trunk were cut into eleven segments.

"Boom!"

The trunk now in eleven pieces, even the Ancient Molo Tree’s healing couldn’t keep up. Piece by piece crashed heavily to the ground, on the verge of death.

[Activating the Rule Fragment Crystal extraction function on Template Adjuster]

A supreme mysterious power descended.

The Ancient Molo Tree convulsed, waves of decay wafting out, its trunk withering and finally crumbling into powder, dispersing into the air.

[Grandmaster Realm Time-Type Magic Plant, successfully extracted three Time Rule Fragment Crystals]

At Grandmaster Realm, you could extract one. At Great Grandmaster Realm, two. At Venerable, three. Mortal Realm couldn’t extract any.

Inside the System’s space, three extraordinary Rule Fragment Crystals suddenly appeared. Powerful time factors and Time Rule Power suffused their irregular crystalline forms.

"Done!" Xiao Ye cheered.

Mu Qingxue bit her lip. *Xiao Ye was out there fighting, while all she could do was stand by uselessly, like a pretty vase—she felt utterly humiliated.*

*She swore to herself she had to start cultivating hard and advance her realm, so she could catch up to Xiao Ye’s pace.*

Mu Qingxue hadn’t attacked the Ancient Molo Trees, so they didn’t target her in return.

But it was different for Xiao Ye. The Ancient Molo Trees all moved at once, with countless branches whipping out like vines, stabbing toward his position.
