Chapter 2674: Chapter 2673: Another Reward!
And on the other side.
Facing Lin Dong.
The air was filled with a faint metallic sheen, the second statue puppet stood silently. Its figure was even more burly than the first, surrounded by the unique pressure of a Third-Layer Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist, as if it were a real War God, guarding this Earth Dragon Treasure Vault.
Lin Dong took a deep breath, his eyes filled with excitement and joy.
He guessed that winning this second battle might also bring a reward.
Without any hesitation, the dragon blood within him boiled, and the power of the bloodline surged, instantly activating the Reverse Scale Transformation of the Dragon Blood Holy Body.
On the surface of Lin Dong’s skin, the faint outline of dense dragon scales appeared, each one imbued with tremendous power and life force.
His body expanded explosively, muscles like iron, as if transformed into a real dragon about to break out of its cocoon.
With a thundering dragon roar, Lin Dong charged fiercely towards the statue puppet, and the air between them seemed to ignite at that moment, erupting in a roaring sound.
The statue puppet was equally unfazed, lacking soul and awareness, yet with its exquisite mechanisms and powerful energy core, it moved quickly and forcefully, engaging in a fierce physical battle with Lin Dong.
Each collision made the space tremble, producing a deafening sound.
Lin Dong was surprised to find that the puppet’s physical strength was not inferior to his state after the Reverse Scale Transformation of the Dragon Blood Holy Body; the two were evenly matched, hard to distinguish victory.
However, Lin Dong was not one to rely solely on brute force.
He quickly calmed down, eyes narrowed slightly, and instantly activated the Eye of Insight.
In this world penetrated by his vision, the internal structure and energy flow of the statue puppet were clear. After careful observation, Lin Dong finally found the slight flaw hidden beneath its defense.
A hint of instability in the puppet’s core energy.
Having made his calculations, Lin Dong retreated sharply, opening the distance between him and the puppet, while the spiritual power within his body surged wildly, converging on the long sword in his hand.
He knew that to defeat this powerful puppet, he must strike precisely and hit the mark.
"Sword one, break!" Lin Dong uttered in a low voice. The power of wind, fire, and thunder suddenly converged upon the long sword, not simply layered but perfectly fused into an unprecedented force through the clever adjustment of Infinite Force.
This force had the lightness and speed of wind, the heat and explosive power of fire, and contained the ferocity and penetration of thunder, the combination making the power multiply.
Lin Dong’s figure flickered, appearing like a phantom at the puppet’s flaw, sword swinging out, at that moment, the entire space seemed to freeze.
The sword, fused with wind, fire, and thunder, carrying a world-destroying momentum, hit the puppet’s core with pinpoint accuracy.
As Lin Dong’s figure flickered, the earth spirit guardian beast statue emitting the breath of a Third-Layer Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist fell with a crash, dust flying up, revealing his determined silhouette.
Around him, Yun Ruoxian, Tang Yun, Aidan, Tian Kong, and the Crescent Wolf Emperor, their gazes interwoven with disbelief and complex emotions.
They looked at Lin Dong, with shock at his astonishing strength, and a sense of bitterness and unwillingness for not being able to break through the first line of defense themselves.
"This...how is this possible?" Yun Ruoxian couldn’t help but exclaim, her beautiful eyes flashing with amazement. She hadn’t even defeated the first puppet. Yet Lin Dong had already surpassed two stages, defeating the second puppet.
Aidan clenched her fists tightly, nails almost embedded in her palms. She knew well the gap between herself and Lin Dong, and this realization brought both frustration and ignited her fighting spirit.
Tang Yun wore a thoughtful expression, her eyes full of wisdom seeming to explore the secret of Lin Dong’s success, trying to find clues to improve herself.
Tian Kong let out a long sigh. He was originally the powerhouse in the team, yet at this moment seemed somewhat powerless, but more so was his admiration for Lin Dong.
The Crescent Wolf Emperor, this strong man from the Werewolf Clan, now after transforming, the beast pupils shone with an unusual light, seemingly reevaluating Lin Dong’s strength.
Just as everyone was immersed in their own thoughts, Lin Dong’s attention was drawn to the scene before him.
He saw the defeated puppet statue slowly dissipate, turning into specks of light gathering into a bright beam, shooting straight to the sky.
Moments later, the light disappeared, and a brand new earth spirit guardian beast statue appeared before everyone, but unlike before, this statue exuded a more restrained aura.
Its strength was weaker than the previous statue with the Third-Layer strength, boasting the strength of the Second-Layer!
However, it was stronger than the reward obtained from the first encounter.
"Just as I expected, each time a puppet is defeated, a stronger reward can be obtained." Lin Dong hooked his lips into a faint smile, his eyes flashing with confidence and anticipation.
He walked a few steps forward, gently stroking the newly appeared statue, feeling the immense power contained within, a sense of unprecedented grandeur swelling in his heart.
He and the puppet had already established a telepathic link, able to control it through a secret method.
"In this way, I now have two puppet statues. One with First-Layer strength, another with Second-Layer strength. I wonder if I can continue the challenges?" Lin Dong hoped to go further in the challenges.
If he could surpass three stages and defeat a Fourth-Layer puppet statue, would he then get a third guardian beast statue as a reward?
If so, then wouldn’t Lin Dong own three statues with the strength of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist?
At that time, he would practically be a walking Hidden Clan Family force!
As Lin Dong conquered the second statue puppet with unparalleled strength, securing rich rewards, on the other side of the battlefield, Aidan faced an unprecedented challenge.
Standing on a battlefield made of thick yellow soil, opposite was a formidably severe earth spirit guardian beast puppet, exuding the aura of a Third-Layer Heavenly Boundary Martial Artist.
Aidan knew well the gap between himself and Lin Dong but never gave up exploring his own limits.
He clenched his fists, eyes flickering with unyielding spirit, deciding to go all out, attempting to challenge beyond his stage.
Battle was imminent, Aidan’s figure was agile, like a phantom shuttling through the yellow earth, constantly seeking the flaws of the earth spirit guardian beast puppet.
However, the strength gap of the Third-Layer was not easily overcome. Each attack of the earth spirit guardian beast puppet was heavy and powerful, carrying the earth’s weight and resilience, making each of Aidan’s evasions extremely difficult.
As time went on, Aidan’s physical and spiritual power gradually diminished, yet the earth spirit guardian beast puppet seemed tireless, its offensive growing fiercer.
Finally, in an intense clash, Aidan’s defense was completely shattered. He was sent flying by an irresistible force, heavily falling to the ground.
Amid the rising dust, Aidan struggled to get up, looking at the still-standing earth spirit guardian beast puppet, his heart filled with frustration. He realized that with his current strength, trying to challenge such an existence beyond his stage was far too demanding.
With a flash of light, Aidan was teleported out of the trial space, back to the second layer entrance of the Earth Dragon Treasure Vault.
He looked down at his empty hands, mixed emotions surging within.
"This time, I didn’t get any treasure again. Abhorrent!" Aidan scolded.
A strong sense of frustration surged in his heart.
He watched helplessly as Lin Dong successfully challenged two levels beyond, obtaining two puppets as rewards. Yet he couldn’t even manage to surpass one.
"Is the gap between us this big? Abhorrent, he hasn’t even been teleported out yet. Is he going to challenge three levels beyond?" Aidan thought about this, his expression becoming even uglier.
