Chapter 229 The "Great Swordsman" Returns to the Arena

Looking at the familiar yet strange prompts in front of him, Ryan was stunned.

The last time he saw a similar trial was in the Blood Moon Temple under the Whirlpool Islands.

The trial at that time was called [Trial of Strength]. I didn't expect that there would be a [Trial of Wood] now, or to be more precise, [Trial of Body].

Ryan frowned and pondered.

He didn't know why the owner of the voice attracted him, Freni and Cecilia to this place and gave them the purpose of the trial.

But from the projection, Freni and Cecilia are in a very critical situation.

"Huh..."

Ryan exhaled lightly, temporarily suppressed his thoughts, and focused his attention on the trial in front of him.

Compared with [Trial of Strength], the form of [Trial of Body] is more complicated, requiring him to attack with all his strength first, and then stop his fist in front of the door to completely receive the recoil force.

Unlike the pure strength test of [Trial of Strength], [Trial of Body] tests both strength and physical strength, but focuses more on physical strength.

If it were other tests, Ryan might not have any solution, but this kind of test of physical fitness was not a problem for him at all.

Ryan raised his hand and pressed lightly on the surface of the wooden door.

Of course, he did not want to conduct the test, but to check the specific conditions for passing the test.

——

[Physical Trial]: ... The current race and rank of the attempter are: human, fourth-level, and the minimum [Physical] requirement to pass the [Physical Trial] is: 200.0.

——

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Ryan's mouth twitched slightly.

The attribute limit of the fourth-level is about 100, and the requirement to pass the [Physical Trial] is 200, and it is a physical requirement. Ryan doesn't know which human can do it except him.

No wonder, like the [Strength Trial], there is no record of humans passing the [Physical Trial] so far.

No, let alone humans, even fourth-level giants find it difficult to pass.

The assessment of the trial is related to both rank and race.

In fact, it's not a short time since he came to this world. Apart from humans, Ryan has not seen any other races with civilized structures.

Since the trial shows the race, it means that there must be races other than humans.

It's just that we don't know where they live.

Ryan didn't think about it anymore, held his breath, and punched with all his strength.

Of course, the full strength here is a punch that is purely physical without activating any special skills or professional skills.

"Bang!"

The wood grain trembled slightly, and the next moment, Ryan felt a surging recoil force feedback from the wooden door, shaking the sleeves of his arms.

Based on the recoil force of 200 [Physique], it must be strong, but for Ryan, it's nothing.

Not to mention that he has a series of passive skills to reduce damage, he can also take it without injury with pure physique.

After a while of silence, it seemed that [Physique Trial] had never seen such a strange existence. After a few seconds, the font appeared on the wooden door.

——

[Test of the Body]: [Test of Wood], also known as the Test of the Body, will produce different recoil forces according to the race and rank of the tester. Attack the door with all your strength and withstand the recoil force to pass the test. During the process of receiving the recoil force, any invincible and dodge skills will not work.

You are the only human who has passed the Test of the Body since the Age of Gods. Please leave your "name" or "code name". From now on, any human who challenges the Test of the Body will be able to admire your supreme glory.

([Test of the Body] is a strange secret treasure. There are more than one of them, and they share information with each other.)

——

"Dear tester of the body, please leave your name for all spirits to admire."

Ryan didn't think much and filled in the same title of "Great Swordsman" as in the [Test of Strength].

Then, he pressed his hands on the door and exerted force.

"Buzz..."

The door looked like a wooden door, but it was incredibly heavy. Ryan estimated that without 200 physical strength, it was highly likely that the door could not be opened.

This point may prevent some special existence, lack of strength, and strong defense, which is a patch.

After the heavy wooden door was pushed open, what Ryan saw was a wide wooden platform.

In the center of the platform, there grew a small tree that looked a little withered.

Ryan's eyes condensed.

From the appearance, this small tree was almost exactly the same as the gray giant tree he had seen before. The only difference was that the latter covered the sky, while the small tree was less than one meter high.

Ryan walked forward, and as he approached, a row of text projections shot out from the small tree and appeared in front of him.

"Touch this tree lightly to choose the person to help."

"After all three people participating in the assessment pass, they can go to [Tree King Sanctuary]."

Ryan's eyes condensed.

This wooden platform, except for the small tree, was empty, and there was no road leading to other places.

Unless he chooses to jump into the dangerous void.

"What is the purpose of the owner of the voice?"

Ryan asked again in his heart, but at this moment, he had no other choice.

There is no doubt that the strength of the owner of the voice is superior to all the existences he has seen so far.

True God level?

Ryan is not sure. After all, the only true god-level existence he knows is the God of Wind, and he has only seen the remnants of its power.

But the demigod level is definitely not able to do such a thing.

Ryan raised his hand and touched the leaves of the small tree. Two projections appeared in front of him, namely Freni and Cecilia.

He needed to choose one of the two and rescue them first.

Ryan carefully observed the picture in the projection and found that unlike the dynamic picture just presented on the wooden door, the two projections at this moment were both static portraits, and it was impossible to know the specific situation of the two women.

Just as Ryan was hesitating, the panel popped up a prompt next to the two projections.

[Dark Moon Witch·Freni——Current Assessment World: Tree Capital·Saint Millis, Assessor Status: Mild Weakness. ]

[Moon Wolf Princess·Cecilia——Current Assessment World: Tree Back·Dark Cemetery, Assessor Status: Healthy. ]

"Tree Capital·Saint Millis...Tree Back·Dark Cemetery...Mild Weakness..."

The emergence of information made Ryan decide in his heart.

As he made his choice, the half-withered tree bloomed with a strong glow, completely engulfing Ryan's body.

...

Floating, sinking, falling...Finally, suddenly floating.

The dazzling green light occupied all of Ryan's vision.

When his facial features gradually came under control, a shout like a mountain torrent and tsunami came to his ears.

Hysteria, waves of madness came one after another, making people's heartbeats unconsciously faster.

Ryan's vision gradually became clear, and he saw the humans standing more than ten meters in front of him, and the people who stood up and waved their hands wildly around the square.

"A place similar to a beast fighting arena?"

Ryan muttered in his heart, and then focused his eyes on the guy opposite.

At first glance, he was still a human, but now looking carefully, Ryan found that although this guy had a human form, his skin was extremely rough, like cracked bark. Not only that, he also had fangs, and his height reached an astonishing three meters.

With such a look and such a height, it is really a bit of a stretch to say that he is a human.

A humanoid race other than humans?

Ryan thought.

Suddenly, a voice with an excited tone resounded everywhere.

"Welcome to the [Tree Arena], the next fight is about to begin. The two sides are the brutal orc lord Badalu and a newcomer, whose race, well, is a human..."

"Our brutal orc lord has created an amazing record of nine wins in nine games. He only needs to win this one more game to advance to the semi-finals with ten wins in ten games!"

"Let's wait and see the bloody feast that will follow!"

The voice of the host, who was nowhere to be found, made the audience's shouts more intense, and the heat wave was like a tide.

Ryan narrowed his eyes and looked at the orc opposite him who opened his mouth slightly and showed his pale yellow fangs.

Orc?

Just now during the [Trial of the Body], he was still guessing that there were other humanoid races in this world, but he didn't expect to meet them so soon.

But why did he not teleport to the side of Freyne, but to this arena?

Could it be that Freyne is also here? Or is this tree arena related to Furenee's passing the test?

Thoughts flashed in his mind, Ryan raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the greatsword behind him.

No matter what, first deal with this annoying guy in front of him, then talk about other things.

As Ryan's hand tightened the hilt of the greatsword, a terrifying and violent aura spread in an instant, so that the shouts of the surrounding audience seats were stagnant, and then there was an even more crazy roar.

Ryan ignored the audience around him, his eyes were always locked on the brutal orc lord in front of him.

In his perception, this orc had no spirituality, only magic power, but it was different from the witch's magic power. The magic power it possessed was lower in level and not as smart?

Ryan couldn't describe it specifically, and because of the different systems, he couldn't judge the specific strength of this guy.

If you want to understand it in depth, you have to fight it to know.

"Roar!"

The brutal aura of the [Brutal Greatsword·Wolf Blood Oath] weakened the Brutal Orc Lord·Badaru, but soon, he regrouped, bloodshot eyes, and exerted force with his legs.

"Bang——"

The ground of the arena trembled slightly, and cracks with a radius of several meters appeared. The Brutal Orc Lord appeared in front of Ryan with a blood-stained mace in his hand and smashed down.

The air wailed, and white airflows were pulled out by the mace.

Ryan raised his head slightly, and the figure of the Brutal Orc Lord·Badaru was reflected in his pupils, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

How to say, this is too weak?

Level 4 limit? Or the first entry into the fifth level legend?

Ryan is not sure.

Because for him now, there is no big difference between the two.

Is the first opponent matched in the Tree Arena determined according to his own rank?

Ryan seemed to be thinking about something, but his hands did not stop moving.

"Clang——"

The sound of the great sword resounded, and the cruel orc lord Badalus was still in the air, with extreme fear in his eyes, but before he could make any move, the great sword had already landed on his face.

"Bang!"

In the air, the blood mist dissipated, and the enchanting blood flower slowly bloomed.

Ryan retracted the great sword, and the blood barrier on his body became more evil against the background of the blood mist.

With one sword, the cruel orc lord exploded into blood mist.

Such a horrifying scene made all the audience present lose their voices collectively.

Even the host was stunned for two seconds before he hissed: "...Ahem, our human player, ahem, let me see the name, oh, the Great Swordsman, won a great victory!"

"After defeating the brutal orc lord Badalu, the human Great Swordsman will inherit half of the opponent's record. The current record is five wins in five games!"

"Let's cheer for the Great Swordsman!"

The host's words caused the silent audience to burst into a noisy wave again. At the same time, a prompt on the panel popped up in front of Ryan.

——

[Tree Arena]: One of the iconic buildings of the Tree Capital Saint Miris. Every fighter who obtains the "Tree Crown" will be given the highest honor of "Tree King Fighter" and rewarded with the "Tree King Holy Liquid".

Holding the "Tree Crown" can walk freely in most areas of the Tree Capital Saint Miris.

Please note that most areas of the Tree Capital·Saint Millis require permission to enter. Those who break in will be suppressed and attacked by the "Tree King Barrier", which is a great power that even the true gods cannot contend with.

——

The prompt in front of him made Ryan's mind fluctuate.

This is a prompt from the panel, not a prompt from the voice owner. In other words, after entering the place where Freni is tested, all actions need to be decided by Ryan himself, and the voice owner will not interfere with it.

If there is no prompt from the panel, Ryan will not stay here for too long, but will look for Freni's trace as soon as possible, but in this way, it is easy to mistakenly enter the inaccessible place of the Tree Capital·Saint Millis and be suppressed and attacked by the "Tree King Barrier".

That is a force that even the true gods cannot resist, let alone Ryan.

"It's really a trap at every step..."

Ryan exhaled lightly, and his eyes became sharp.

But he did not choose to continue fighting, but walked off the field and began to search for Freni's whereabouts in the Tree Arena.

As a contestant, the rest area of ​​the Tree Arena is an accessible area for Ryan.

After a quick search and confirming that Freni was not here, Ryan returned to the edge of the arena.

The rules of the Tree Arena are very simple. As long as the game is over, the players who want to play can go directly.

And as long as you win 30 games, or win 10 games in a row, you can advance to the semi-finals.

This information is posted in the player area, and Ryan can see it at a glance.

If he was not worried that there was some kind of monitoring facility in the Tree Arena, Ryan would want to use "Sloth Silk" to control a player to obtain information.

Speaking of which, since obtaining [Sloth Silk], Ryan has been using it as a control skill, but "Sloth Puppet" has not been used once.

The rules of the Tree Arena determine that as long as the challenger is strong enough and has enough physical strength, he can complete the promotion to the semi-finals in a relatively short time.

Soon, the game in the arena ended, and a tree man won.

It was a humanoid race different from the orcs, covered in tree bark, and astonishingly five meters tall. It seemed stronger than the brutal orc lord?

Probably a fifth-level legend.

But it didn't matter.

Ryan took a step and stepped into the arena.

Tree Arena, challenge, start!
