Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: The Test

TL: Etude

“There’s also a chance to obtain a set of armor from this ancient civilization’s ruins. Do you want to go in?” Luo Zhendong listened to her words and nodded slightly.

Previously, their people had also obtained several sets of Type 3 Battle Suit from this ancient civilization’s ruins.

However, the success rate was not 100%, and several people had sacrificed their lives.

“Yes, I want to go in and take a look,” Luo Xue said seriously.

“It’s a bit dangerous to go in now. With your talent, you can directly apply for a Type 3 Battle Suit,” Zhang Tiansheng said, looking at Luo Xue.

“Yes, we obtained several sets of Type 3 Battle Suit this time. Given your qualifications, you can indeed apply directly,” Luo Zhendong nodded.

He had heard about it. The strength and talent of the woman in front of him were impressive, especially her strong capabilities in scientific research.

“I don’t want the Type 3 Battle Suit,” Luo Xue shook her head.

“This…” Hearing her words, Zhang Tiansheng and Luo Zhendong were slightly stunned.

“I want to try for the Type 2 Battle Suit,” Luo Xue said seriously.

“No way! It’s too dangerous!” Zhang Tiansheng immediately shook his head.

“Do you know how those armor sets are obtained? They require completing certain challenge tasks within the ancient civilization’s ruins. These challenge tasks increase in difficulty based on the armor set you aim to get. The challenge for the Type 2 Battle Suit is extremely difficult!”

He continued, “Luo Xue’s talent and potential are outstanding, and she’s my prized student. Naturally, I don’t want to see her risk her life needlessly.”

“Mr. Zhang, I’ve done my research. The challenges for obtaining armor are not just tests of strength but also of intellect and puzzle-solving,” Luo Xue said seriously. “I believe I can do it.”

“Luo Xue is right. If one’s strength is insufficient, being clever enough can still allow one to complete the challenge,” Luo Zhendong said, his eyes fixed on Luo Xue. “But you must understand, this is not a game where you can restart. Failure means death.”

“I understand,” Luo Xue nodded earnestly. “Coach Luo, you have obtained the Type 2 Battle Suit before. Please guide me. I want to go in.”

“This…” Luo Zhendong hadn’t expected Luo Xue to be so determined. He glanced at Zhang Tiansheng, revealing a wry smile.

This was Zhang Tiansheng’s prized student. If anything happened to her, he couldn’t bear the responsibility.

“Ah, I knew this girl couldn’t be dissuaded once she made up her mind. Coach Luo, please share your experience of obtaining the Type 2 Battle Suit with her,” Zhang Tiansheng sighed helplessly.

Since Luo Xue was so resolute, he couldn’t stop her. He could only hope she would return safely.

“Alright,” Luo Zhendong nodded. Although everyone’s experience obtaining the armor varied, there were still some common points that could serve as a reference.

After spending most of the day, Luo Xue stood at the entrance to the place where the armor could be obtained.

She gazed inside, unable to see clearly what lay beyond.

“Once you walk in, you’ll be participating in the test to obtain the armor. It will be a whole new world,” Luo Zhendong said seriously, looking in as well.

“Alright. Mr. Zhang, Coach Luo, I’ll head in now,” Luo Xue said, nodding slightly. Her face showed no fear as she carried a silver case with her battle sword and walked directly inside.

Soon, her figure was engulfed by a white light.

“Sigh. I hope she comes out safely,” Zhang Tiansheng sighed worriedly as he watched.

If Luo Xue wanted to obtain the Type 3 Battle Suit, the danger wouldn’t be so high. But she aimed for the Type 2 Battle Suit! Although it was just one level higher, the difficulty difference was significant.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Zhang. I have a strong feeling she’ll make it,” Luo Zhendong said seriously, still watching inside.

…

At that moment, after entering, Luo Xue suddenly felt a sensation of weightlessness. The area in front of her turned pitch black. However, it quickly brightened again, revealing countless special light blocks forming the surroundings.

“Welcome to Ruins No. 85,” a crisp voice sounded.

“Who is it?” Luo Xue looked around but saw no one.

“Please choose the armor you need,” the next moment, large characters appeared in the space ahead.

“Holographic projection,” Luo Xue muttered as she saw the words suddenly appear.

Type 1 Battle Suit
Type 2 Battle Suit
Type 3 Battle Suit
Common Aircraft

Rows of text quickly appeared below. As she looked at each line, it floated up, seemingly tracking her gaze.

“Type 2 Battle Suit,” Luo Xue focused on the line for the Type 2 Battle Suit, and it seemed to click by her will.

“You are about to enter the test to obtain the Type 2 Battle Suit. There is a risk of death and other accidents during the test. Once started, it cannot be stopped. Do you wish to continue?

Yes
No

Lines of text reappeared, and she could choose directly with her gaze again.

Luo Xue didn’t hesitate and chose yes.

In an instant, the surrounding lights changed, revealing various strange scenes.

“A holographic simulation?” Luo Xue thought in amazement. The scenes around her were incredibly lifelike, making her feel as if she had entered a new world.

…

Meanwhile, Lin Hao had returned to the Hualong Pond and was sleeping to evolve.

After devouring the level 4 mutant sea loach, he continued searching the ocean, swallowing several more mutant sea loaches and increasing his evolution points significantly. His total evolution points had reached around 500,000.

Having not encountered any more mutant sea loaches, he returned to the Hualong Pond to evolve. He was preparing to face the giant mutant crab at night. Increasing his combat power was his priority now!
