He recalled that when he had previously entered the final level of the college entrance exam instance, he was told it was a test of the team leader’s capabilities.
There’s something fishy going on here, Chen Mo thought. He immediately told the nine people around him not to act rashly.
At that moment, he was sensing the attributes of the Thunderbird Human that had just appeared. He wanted to see why the Heavenly Dao believed this BOSS possessed the ability to take on ten people.
After sensing its attributes, Chen Mo understood.
Although the creature had no Skills, it possessed numerous abilities that could trigger thunder. That alone was terrifying enough!
In the Cultivation World, a single thunder tribulation could leave cultivators half-dead. This creature could trigger thunder at will; the magnitude of its power needed no further consideration.
While Chen Mo was examining the opponent’s abilities, the monster called the "Thunder God Avatar" waved its hand, causing the clear sky to instantly fill with dark clouds.
With a distant wave of its hand—CRACK!
A huge, bright bolt of thunder, seemingly crossing space in an instant, struck one of the nine people who had just taken flight beside Chen Mo.
As the thunder crashed down, the deafening roar caused the entire space to shudder.
One of the nine who had just taken off was directly struck to the ground, his Health dropping by nearly half. After being struck, he was also completely paralyzed and unable to move easily.
"This burst power is truly monstrous!" Chen Mo exclaimed.
I couldn’t even react to that attack, he thought. After all, the speed of lightning is half the speed of light! Even seeing it wouldn’t help me Dodge; I can only predict its attacks based on its hand movements.
This BOSS might be difficult for others, but it wasn’t a big problem for Chen Mo.
If its offensive output is strong, then I just need to prevent it from attacking, he reasoned.
Chen Mo immediately used Divine Flicker to teleport next to the creature. Just as it was preparing to launch another thunder attack, he activated the Godslayer Challenger title Skill, Godslaying Secret Technique, forcibly pinning it down!
As a mysterious Rule Energy surged from Chen Mo, binding the Thunder God Avatar, the Avatar was instantly immobilized, unable to move an inch. The Godslaying Secret Technique could forcibly control the opponent for five seconds.
The moment he controlled the opponent, Chen Mo summoned the Undead Army to his side with a thought. They bombarded the Thunder God Avatar from close quarters!
In just an instant, the Thunder God Avatar unleashed a barrage of Lightning Chain Retaliation.
However, as the Thunder God Avatar died, its Lightning Chains all collapsed and vanished instantly, dealing no harm to Chen Mo.
Otherwise, the simultaneous explosion of millions of Lightning Chains from a golden-grade BOSS with 70 Divine Power would have been terrifying. With its current attack power of over 500,000, triggering 2,000,000 Lightning Chains could inflict trillions of points of Thunder attribute damage in an instant. Chen Mo’s shield, no matter how thick, wouldn’t withstand such an onslaught; he would be instantly killed.
This sudden activation of Lightning Chain made Chen Mo realize he had been a bit careless.
When I previously sensed the BOSS’s abilities and saw its multitude of Thunder-controlling abilities, I didn’t bother looking too closely, Chen Mo mused. I never imagined that an attack from millions of units simultaneously would trigger such a terrifying counterattack. I need to be more careful next time.
With the Thunder God Avatar eliminated, Chen Mo successfully cleared the seventh level of the trial.
As for his teammates, apart from the one who took a bolt of lightning, they had been of little use. They were almost electrocuted to death by the Lightning Chain triggered by reflect damage.
[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on successfully passing the seventh level of the Divine Training Tower. You have obtained a "Special Item Divine-Level Gift Pack." Original content can be found at novel-fire.net
Because none of your teammates died, you completed this level’s hidden achievement, "Qualified Leader," and you will receive an additional "SS Level Gift Pack."
Since no team members died in the previous two levels either, you have completed this level’s upgraded hidden achievement, "Trustworthy Leader," and your reward has been upgraded to an "SSS Level Gift Pack"!
If you choose to withdraw from the challenge now, you will also receive 6 Divine Power. However, please note that if you withdraw, you will only be able to re-enter when you get another chance to challenge.]
"This damn Heavenly Dao," Chen Mo grumbled. "I knew something was up when it made me protect my teammates on the previous two levels, telling me not to let too many die, and then suddenly there was no such rule for this level. Good thing I was smart."
He had almost been cheated out of an SSS Level Gift Pack by the Heavenly Dao, so naturally, Chen Mo had a few complaints.
It seems I’ll have to pay more attention to what the Heavenly Dao *doesn’t* say in the future, he thought. Otherwise, it’ll be easy to get tricked out of rewards.
