Chapter 306: Chapter 306

The Death Scorpion’s poison erupted, and the first one to suffer was itself. The moment the poison exploded, the Death Scorpion turned into points of light and left nothing behind.

And that creature as big as a mammoth didn’t fare any better. Starting from its ears, black lines representing death began to spread. Within moments, this power had infiltrated its entire body.

The gigantic mammoth was in excruciating pain, continually shaking its massive head and stamping its four legs on the ground, causing the ground to quickly crumble. Each stomp carried a terrifying amount of force.

If I happened to be within its attack range, I’m not sure I could withstand it. If hit directly, I’d be squashed flat. Du You quickly ran off to a safe distance, not planning to confront this beast head-on.

When the black patterns covered the mammoth’s entire body, its strength began to fade. Du You could feel the power of the mammoth’s attacks on the ground weakening considerably, although he wasn’t sure if it was due to the reason he suspected.

Turning his head back, Du You stopped running, standing there watching instead.

The gigantic mammoth, its massive body, started to shrivel bit by bit, like the quickly dehydrating, sunshine-dried meat.

"Such a potent poison, truly deserving of its terrifying reputation as a poison of mutual destruction. Despite being far superior in levels, it couldn’t withstand it either." Du You sighed as he watched the last moments of the mammoth.

Although this approach seemed a bit opportunistic, no matter which way you look at it, he had managed to pass this stage.

The mammoth’s body continued to shrivel. The speed of the Death Scorpion’s poison wouldn’t decrease or dissipate over time, instead, it would continue to consume flesh and power, thereby strengthening itself. So the longer the time, the stronger the poison.

The mammoth’s hairy coat began to fall off until it was completely bare. By this point, the mammoth looked like a long-dead creature, completely dried up. If it weren’t still moving, Du You would have mistaken it for a fossil.

No one knew how long had passed when the mammoth’s skin suddenly cracked open. More and more cracks appeared, and its flesh began to fall to the ground, corroding the earth black. The black smoke confirmed the poison’s toxic nature.

A few minutes later, the mammoth stood still. The last of the flesh dried up and disappeared, leaving only a large black skeletal frame. This black skeleton emanated a dangerously threatening aura.

Du You took a deep breath. Even though this was a power he had control over, it still left him with a profound sense of shock. This power seemed less like a poison and more like a horrifying fatal curse.

Nevertheless, the problem was finally solved. Du You also wanted to see what power a tier-three creature possessed.

It appeared that monsters, which emerged in the exam space, could only instinctively use their power. They didn’t possess any advanced attack methods and behaved like mindless wild beasts.

However, even these instinctive attacks demonstrated the monsters’ true power.

Du You was, in fact, aware that although his strength was admirable, against a level 14 enemy, unless the enemy was an idiot, he would likely not be their match. His current combat power was just equivalent to the early stages of the second tier, at most, and it was still rather mediocre. It couldn’t even reach the mid-second tier.

If it weren’t for the peculiar environment here, combined with his good luck and some exam restrictions, he would never have been able to come this far. Although he had come this far and won, Du You now had a clearer understanding of his strength.

This time, he had to wait a full 20 minutes before the Magic Array changed. The red light disappeared, replaced by green.

"So the origin power of tier three is green. This is the first time I’ve seen it. I wonder what a tier three is called. Tier one is Awakener, tier two is Hunter. Ah, why bother thinking so much."

Du You wasn’t worried in the least; after all, it wasn’t an opponent.

When the green light dissipated, what appeared was a column-like object that resembled a totem pillar with a large face on it. The face turned toward Du You and instantly a yellow ray of light swept over him.

As though instinctively, Du You activated his Shield Spell to its full potential, but only for an instant. Du You could feel that the opponent’s attack was beyond his ability to resist. The Shield Spell was immediately shattered, offering no resistance at all.

The next moment, Du You found that he couldn’t move. The yellow light passed directly through his body, causing no harm due to the protective mechanism of this world. Du You knew that if he really took that blow just now, he would probably be dead already. In the face of a tier-three entity, he stood no chance of resistance.

Du You forced a smile. He hadn’t expected that he couldn’t even withstand a fraction of its natural power. He was still too far behind.

Although he had managed to advance this far, Du You didn’t become arrogant. It would be strange if one became complacent in such an examination. However, Du You wasn’t discouraged either because he knew his strength had greatly surpassed that of his peers.

Main mission: Completed, you can leave anytime, or you will be automatically transported out after 24 hours.

When Du You could move again, the enemy was gone, and the environment around him had instantly returned to its pristine state, without leaving any traces. Truly magical!

Du You didn’t leave immediately; his current state was not pleasant. As for his missing arm, it didn’t affect him for the time being.

Du You sat down gradually recuperated. When he opened his eyes again, his magic power and spirit were almost restored. Even though there was still quite a bit of time, Du You didn’t want to continue waiting around.

After submitting his mission, Du You vanished instantly. When he returned, he was already inside the World Boat.

"Huh, no prompt for body repair fees this time, I recovered automatically. Suppose the exam organization covered this cost, with so many people needing repairs, it must be a pretty big expenditure."

You must know, the protective mechanism is used only to defend against fatal blows. Regular attacks aren’t blocked at all. If an attack causes permanent injury, as long as you are still capable of fighting, the protective mechanism isn’t triggered.

As for those who couldn’t bear the pain and gave up on their own, it had nothing to do with the protective mechanism.

After a few flexes, feeling the full recovery of his arm, identical to the new one, Du You finally relaxed. He was really worried that the newly formed arm wouldn’t be coordinated with his original body. Chapters fırst released on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Opening the gates of the World Boat, he checked the time; only a little while had passed. After all, a day in Derived World was only a minute in the outside world. Looking at the teaching building opposite, their exam was yet to officially begin. Meanwhile, other people were also appearing one after another.
