After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 229 The "Great Swordsman" returns to the world

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar prompt in front of him, Ryan was stunned for a moment.

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

The trial at that time was called [Trial of Strength]. Unexpectedly, there would be a [Trial of Wood] now, or to be precise, [Trial of Body].

Ryan frowned in thought.

He didn't know what the voice master's purpose was in attracting him, Freni, and Cecilia to this place and giving them a trial.

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

"call……"

Ryan let out a breath, temporarily suppressed his thoughts, and focused his attention on the trial in front of him.

Compared with the [Trial of Strength], the form of [Trial of the Body] is more complicated. It requires him to attack with all his strength first, and then stop his fist in front of the door to fully absorb the counter-shock force.

After the heavy wooden door was pushed open, what caught Ryan's eyes was a wide wooden platform.

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

This point can potentially prevent a certain kind of special existence with insufficient strength and extremely strong defense. It can be regarded as a patch.

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

You are the only human being who has passed the body trial so far in the Era of Spirits. Please leave your "name" or "code name". From now on, any human being who challenges the body trial can admire your supreme glory.

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

"Dear those who have passed the physical test, please leave your name for all souls to look up to."

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

No, not to mention humans, even fourth-level giants would have difficulty passing through.

The wood grain trembled slightly, and in the next moment, Ryan felt a surge of counter-shock force feedback from the wooden door, causing the sleeves of his arms to sway.

Not to mention that he has a series of damage-reducing passive skills. With pure physical strength, he can take it without any injuries.

-

"Tap this tree to choose who to help."

Ryan stopped thinking about it, held his breath and concentrated, and punched out with all his strength.

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

Judging from the appearance, this small tree was almost identical to the giant gray tree he had seen before. The only difference was that the latter blocked the sky and the sun, while the small tree was only less than one meter high.

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

Ryan's eyes narrowed.

-

The counter-shock power based on 200 [Physique] must be strong, but for Ryan, it doesn't matter at all.

Of course, the full force here is a punch thrown purely with physical strength without stimulating any special skills or professional skills.

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

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

This wooden platform is empty except for small trees, and there is no road leading to other places.

It's just that I don't know where it lives.

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

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

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

"Boom!"

In the center of the platform, there is a small tree that looks a little withered.

If there were other tests, Ryan might not be able to do anything about it, but this kind of test that tests physical fitness is not a problem at all for him.

Ryan's eyes narrowed.

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

"Om..."

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

The door looked like a wooden door, but it was incredibly heavy. Ryan estimated that without 200 physical strength, there was a high probability that he would not be able to push the door open.

-

Speaking of which, arriving in this world is not a short time. Apart from humans, Ryan has not seen other races with civilized structures.

Of course, his move was not to conduct a trial, but to check the specific conditions for passing the trial.

[Body Trial]: [Wood Trial], also known as Body Trial, will produce different counter-shock forces according to the race and rank of the person trying it. Attack this door with all your strength and withstand the counter-shock force. , you can pass the trial and during the process of accepting the counter-shock force, any invincibility and dodge skills will not take effect.

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

Unless, he chooses to jump into the dangerous void.

"What is the purpose of the voice owner?"

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

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

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

But the demigod level definitely cannot do such a thing.

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

He needs to choose one of the two to rescue first.

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

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

[Dark Moon Witch Freni - Current assessment world: St. Milis, the Kingdom of Trees, assessor status: slightly weak. 】

[Moon Wolf Princess Cecilia - Current assessment world: Back of the Tree·Dark Necropolis, assessor status: Healthy. 】

"The Capital of Trees·Saint Milis...The Back of the Tree·Dark Necropolis...Slightly Weakness..."

The emergence of information gave Ryan a decision in his mind.

As he chose to fall, the half-withered tree bloomed with intense light, completely engulfing Ryan's body.

……

Floating, sinking, falling...finally, suddenly emerging.

The dazzling green light occupied Ryan's entire field of vision.

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

Waves of hysteria and madness hit one after another, making people's hearts beat faster involuntarily.

Ryan's vision gradually became clearer, and he saw the humans standing more than ten meters in front of him, as well as the people around the square who stood up and danced their hands wildly. "A place similar to a fighting beast arena?"

Ryan thought silently in his mind, and then focused his eyes on the guy opposite.

At first glance, he looked like a human being, but upon closer inspection, Ryan discovered that although this guy was humanoid, his skin was extremely rough, like cracked tree bark. Not only that, he also had fangs and was astonishingly tall. Incomparably three meters away.

With such an appearance and such a height, it is really a bit reluctant to be a human being.

A humanoid race other than humans?
Ryan thought.

Suddenly, a voice with an excited tone resounded from all directions.

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

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

"Let's wait and see what happens next, the bloody feast!"

The voice from the unknown host made the audience shout more intensely, creating a wave of enthusiasm.

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

Orcs?

During the [Body Trial] just now, he was still speculating that there were other humanoid races in this world, but he didn't expect to encounter them so soon.

But, why was the teleportation not to Freynie but to this arena?
Could it be that Freni is here too? Or does this tree arena have a major connection with Freynie passing the exam?

With thoughts flashing in his mind, Ryan raised his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword behind him.

No matter what, let’s deal with the eyesore in front of us first, and then talk about other things.

As Ryan's hand clenched the hilt of the big sword, a terrifying and violent aura spread instantly, so that the shouts from the surrounding audience were stagnated, and then came even more crazy roars.

Ryan ignored the spectators around him and kept his eyes fixed on the brutal orc lord in front of him.

In his perception, this orc has no spirituality, only magic power. It is just different from the magic power of the witch. The magic power it possesses is lower in level and not so agile?
Ryan couldn't describe the specifics, and because of the different systems, he couldn't judge the specific strength of this guy.

If you want to know more deeply, you have to play it before you know it.

"Roar!"

Suppressed by the violent aura of the [Brutal Great Sword·Wolf Blood Oath], the brutal orc lord Badaru's aura weakened a bit, but soon he regained his strength, and his bulging eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. The legs exerted force violently.

"Boom-"

The ground of the arena trembled slightly, and cracks appeared with a radius of several meters. The brutal orc lord, holding a blood-stained mace, appeared in front of Ryan and smashed it down.

The air whined, and white air currents were pulled out by the mace.

Ryan raised his head slightly, and the figure of the brutal orc lord Badalu was reflected in his pupils, with a strange flash in his eyes.

How can I put it, is this too weak?

Fourth level limit? Or are you entering the fifth level legend for the first time?
Ryan wasn't so sure.

Because for him now, there is not much difference between the two.

Is the first opponent you match in Tree Arena based on your own rank?

Ryan was thoughtful, but his hands kept moving.

"Chong-"

The sound of the big sword's edge resounded, and the brutal orc lord Badalus was still in mid-air, with extreme fear in his eyes, but before it could make any move, the big sword had already landed on its face.

"Peng!"

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

Ryan withdrew his sword, and the blood barrier stretched out on his body became even more sinister against the backdrop of the blood mist in the sky.

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

Such a horrifying scene made all the audience present collectively fall into a state of silence.

Even the host was stunned for two seconds before hissing: "...cough, cough, our human contestant, cough, let me look at the name, oh, the Great Swordsman has achieved a great victory!"

"After defeating the brutal orc lord Badaru, the human great swordsman will inherit half of his opponent's record. The current record is five wins out of five!"

"Let us cheer for the Great Swordsman!"

The host's words caused the silent auditorium to burst into noise again. At the same time, a prompt from the panel popped up in front of Ryan's eyes.

-

[Tree Arena]: One of the landmark buildings in St. Milis, the capital of the Tree Kingdom. Every fighter who obtains the "Tree Crown" will be awarded the highest honor of "Tree King Fighter" and receive The reward of 'Tree King Holy Liquid'.

With the "Tree Laurel", you can walk freely in most areas of Saint Milis, the capital of the Tree Kingdom.

Please note that most areas of Saint Milis, the capital of the Tree Kingdom, require permission to enter. Those who force their way in will be suppressed and attacked by the "Tree King Barrier", which even the true gods cannot compete with. Powerful.

-

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

This is a prompt from the panel, not from the voice owner. In other words, after entering Freni's assessment place, all actions need to be decided by Ryan himself, and the voice owner will most likely not interfere.

If there is no prompt from the panel, Ryan will not stay here too long, but will immediately look for traces of Freni. However, in this way, it is easy to accidentally enter the inaccessible area of ​​St. Milis, the capital of the Kingdom of Trees. The land was suppressed and attacked by the "Tree King Barrier".

That is a power that even the True God cannot resist, certainly not Ryan.

"It's really a trap every step of the way..."

Ryan let out a breath and his eyes became sharp.

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

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

After a quick search to confirm 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, players who want to play can just go up.

And as long as you win thirty games, or win ten consecutive games, you can advance to the semifinals.

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

If he hadn't been worried about some kind of surveillance facility in the Tree Arena, Ryan would have wanted to use the "Thread of Sloth" to control a player to obtain information.

Speaking of which, since obtaining [Thread of Sloth], Ryan has always used it as a control skill, but "Sloth Puppet" has never been used once.

The rules of the Tree Arena determine that as long as they are strong enough and have sufficient physical strength, challengers can advance to the semi-finals in a relatively short period of time.

Soon, the ongoing game in the arena ended, and a tree man emerged victorious.

It was a humanoid race that was different from the orcs. It was covered in tree bark and reached an astonishing five meters in height. It seemed to be stronger than the brutal orc lord?
It probably looks like a fifth-level legend.

But it doesn't matter.

Ryan stepped forward and entered the arena.

Tree Arena, challenge begins!
