Chapter 512: Friendship Can Change Very Quickly

Dongse Ziyu was stunned.
She and Wang Ye had been together since the beginning. She didn’t notice anything, so how did Wang Ye know so much?
Could it be that he had been to the 72 Heaven Halls?
After going to the second degree, can’t I leave the 72 Heaven Halls?” Dongse Ziyu asked in confusion.
“I’m not sure in reality, but not here,” Wang Ye said. “The one-way portal has indicated the direction. However, I guess that after reaching the top of the ninth degree, there might be a way to leave the 72 Heaven Halls on the other side of the hourglass.”
However, the contestants who can do it might be the same as the first round of dominating the challenge space. There’s no one else.”
Why?” Dongse Ziyu asked.
Wang Ye said, “From the sky race experts we encountered in the first degree, we can roughly estimate their strength. After entering the second degree, we will face pursuit from the sky race’s second degree Undying-level experts.”
If you want to achieve the third degree, you must pass the test of the 72 Heaven Halls in the second degree. The difficulty will increase.”
By analogy, reaching the top of the ninth degree will be extremely difficult. Through battles, one sustains battles, obtaining points by killing sky race experts to exchange for potions, ensuring survival. The higher one ascends, the more difficult it becomes, and there is no turning back.”
Then, how do we leave the 72 Heaven Halls?” Dongse Ziyu asked.
Wang Ye said, “According to the distribution of the 72 Heaven Halls, the exits are either at the end or at the bottom. You can see that every hall has a cosmic secret pattern that is connected. The distribution rules are like a spatial array.
Although I don’t understand formations and my attainments in space aren’t high, when all the participants first entered, they were evenly distributed in the eight halls of the first degree. According to the principle of fairness, the exit couldn’t be in any of the halls alone.”
Therefore, I reckon that every hall might have a corresponding exit. I’m not sure which one it is, but it must be one of the eight halls in the first degree. We just have to try it one by one.”
There will always be an exit.
Dongse Ziyu was stunned.
Wang Ye’s analysis was so logical that she had no choice but to believe him.
However, when she opened the world panel and saw the number of participants gradually decrease and her points, she hesitated.
Should she fight or retreat?
Are you planning to enter?” Dongse Ziyu looked at Wang Ye.
No.” Wang Ye didn’t hesitate.
At this stage, competing with strength was not a good choice.
He rushed forward recklessly, seemingly unstoppable, but in reality, he had fallen into the trap set up by the Infinite World of Slaughter.
Greed is like a knife.
He had already obtained enough points in the first half of the competition. He should be steadily advancing in the second half of the competition. He should lay a solid foundation in the first selection world, squeeze into the top too of the leaderboard, and lock in the quota for the Infinite World of Slaughter. That was what he should do.
This way, the second selection world could enter the Primordial Star without holding back, and even enter the top 100.
There was nothing to charge at now.
Taking the 3rd and 100th place would both enter the Infinite World of Slaughter.
Moreover, even if he took the safe route, with his operational ability, he would still be able to complete the first mission and successfully leave the 72 Heaven Halls. The points would not be much different.
He might not be able to get third place, but he still had a good chance of getting into the top ten.
That was enough.
But if I don’t enter, I won’t be able to enter the top hundred.” Dongse Ziyu bit her lip and clenched her fists tightly.
Wang Ye looked at Dongse Ziyu.
She was still very different from Wen Rou.
If it was Wen Rou, she would not hesitate and would rush straight to the ninth degree.
However, Dongse Ziyu was thinking.
Even though she was not very smart.
Even though she possessed the combat prowess to rank in the top ten on the Cosmic Stairway Board, she wasn’t one to seek out confrontation and fight ruthlessly.
Let me put it this way, if you aim to break into the top ten of the leaderboard, you can try charging into the ninth degree.” Wang Ye looked at Dongse Ziyu. “Of course, the risk is high, and the probability of success is low, but the likelihood of being eliminated is very high.”
If your goal is to make it to the top too on the leaderboard, then focus on securing your position in the first selection world first and obtaining the ticket to the Infinite World of Slaughter. By following my method, you may not guarantee a spot in the top 100, but there’s a probability of over 70%.”
Really?” Dongse Ziyu’s eyes brightened.
Wang Ye nodded. “Although you’re currently ranked 379th, the gap between you and the top 100th isn’t large. With your strength, navigating the first degree should be manageable, and you won’t need to purchase any potions.
I’ll take you around to familiarize yourself with the terrain later and advise you on how to manage resources efficiently. It shouldn’t be too difficult.”
Take your time to consider it.
Dongse Ziyu pursed her lips.
Looking at Wang Ye, she felt a warmth in her heart.
She wasn’t foolish. She could sense Wang Ye’s sincerity.
He was truly a good person.
Although their time together wasn’t long, she was willing to trust someone who showed her such sincerity.
I believe in you.” Dongse Ziyu nodded firmly.
Good.” Wang Ye smiled happily.
He held onto Dongse Ziyu’s hand, never letting go.
When a woman was willing to trust you completely, then…
Friendship could easily blossom.
Four missions.
The first major mission is to leave the 72 Heaven Halls, and we should complete it as soon as possible.”
The exit must appear in the main hall after completing the trial of the 72 Heaven Halls. Despite all participants being in the same world, each palace has its space-time, so the exit must be unique.”
Wang Ye glanced at Dongse Ziyu, who seemed to understand. He smiled and continued, “You don’t need to worry about the theory. Just remember the locations of the eight halls in the first degree, then complete each trial one by one. Once you complete the fourth mission and collect all the points, the exit will naturally appear.”
Got it!” Dongse Ziyu smiled.
She understood. She just needed to scan through them one by one. It was simple.
We’ll skip the second mission,” Wang Ye said. “The third mission is crucial for our operations, killing sky race experts. The more we eliminate, the more points we’ll earn.”
Although we can only engage in combat in the first degree, it’s relatively safe. The strongest sky race expert is only at the Undying level in the first degree. The number of teams is limited, so as long as we increase our efficiency, actively seeking out and eliminating them should suffice.”
How do we improve efficiency?” Dongse Ziyu seized on the main point.
Wang Ye explained, “The sky race experts emerge from dimensional cracks and are highly accurate in their targeting. I’ve tested this pattern many times along our journey and have a rough understanding of it.”
The sky race experts aren’t visible on the map as they appear through the dimensional spaces of the 72 halls. Each palace functions like a celestial eye scanning the surrounding areas. Once they detect someone nearby, they lock onto the target and open a dimensional crack.”
Dongse Ziyu was momentarily stunned.
When did Wang Ye conduct these pattern tests?
Why wasn’t she aware of it?
Wang Ye continued, “Of course, the dimensional spaces of the 72 Heaven Halls might have cooldown periods when activated. They won’t be activated frequently. Also, the scanning range varies in size. You can try it out yourself when the time comes.”
Don’t be too greedy. Always ensure you’re at your peak condition, capable of handling any sudden dangers. Make yourself invincible first, then focus on accumulating points, and finally, wait for opportunities to blossom.”
Aren’t you joining me?” Dongse Ziyu seemed reluctant.
Wang Ye smiled.” I’ll miss you too, but being together might reduce your points. It wouldn’t be good if it affects your chances of entering the top 100.
Wang Ye was so comforting.
Dongse Ziyu felt touched.
She never expected to accidentally make such a close friend.
It was her lucky day.
Bon voyage.” Wang Ye reached out his hand.
Yes!” Dongse Ziyu reached out, and they shook hands in the air.
Wang Ye exerted a little pressure, leaning closer. He gently embraced Dongse Ziyu, feeling the surging energy. “See you in the second selection world.”
Alright.” Dongse Ziyu nodded.
Dongse Ziyu acted alone!
Although it would be safer and more efficient to be with Dongse Ziyu.
However, the points she would gain alone would be greater.
Without entering the second degree, Wang Ye gradually mastered the strategy of fighting against the first degree’s Undying Lifeform of sky race.
One step at a time.
The sky race’s bodies were inferior to the dark race’s.
Their strength lay in their control of space and time.
As long as he could break free from their constraints and engage in close combat, the Undying Lifeform of sky race wouldn’t be difficult to deal with.
In the challenge space, he had slain quite a few.
He was stronger in every aspect now!
Sky Destruction!” The ninth-stage dark power erupted, and Wang Ye cast the Battle Spirit Spell. His melee combat prowess was formidable.
The blue lightning struck repeatedly, time against time. Even against the Undying sky race, he still held the upper hand!
The Flowing Light Wing Blade and the Hellfire Devil Blade, one swift and the other strong, each attack depleted the origin power of the sky’s Undying beings.
With the Sole Will Spell connecting them, Wang Ye attempted a Wen Rou attack mode, linking his willpower with the twin blades to unleash their maximum power!
Crash!
The Undying Lifeform of sky race in the first degree didn’t possess much source power.
With the assistance of the Clone Spell, Wang Ye managed to eliminate the sky race’s strong teams without sustaining any injuries after several encounters.
Each skirmish yielded some gains, particularly in the realm of connected willpower, where he felt increasingly adept.
His prowess in close combat was steadily improving.
I wonder how Wen Rou is faring now?” Wang Ye couldn’t help but miss her.
After all, she was his first true friend in the first selection world, albeit not as prominent as Dongse Ziyu, she was fierce!
Judging by the points, she must be facing some hurdles.” Wang Ye noted Wen Ron’s weakness.
Breaking through challenges had never been her forte. If she knew the path to the ninth degree, she might have a chance at reaching the pinnacle of success.
But, there were no guarantees.
Executing the plan with precision, Wang Ye’s points gradually ascended.
After memorizing the locations and features of the 72 halls, he no longer needed to consult the map. The relative positions of the palaces within each hall were fixed.
Finding one palace meant finding all seventy-one, making progress remarkably smooth.
Wang Ye successfully navigated through the trials, which were akin to the Lingbing Hall, thus relatively easy for him.
Time flew by swiftly.
The Baobing Hall.
Boom!” After defeating the sky warriors, the surrounding space receded like a tide, and the scenery before him swiftly changed.
He effortlessly obtained the points for completing the trials of the 72 Heaven Halls.
Space rippled.
Swoosh! A unidirectional portal bathed in white light materialized before Wang
Ye.
So, it’s here.” Wang Ye smiled calmly.
Everything unfolded as anticipated.
The first major mission was accomplished!
