They reacted quickly since they didn’t bother arguing with Huang Xie.
That was because they could already figure out that he was right.
It really was as he said, the first twenty waves should have been the training session for them and the next nine waves were the real trial. In that case, it was better to build up the defenses as quickly as possible while they still had time.
The ones that had used up most of their energy sat down and started to recover instead of helping with building the defenses.
The ones that were building the defenses didn’t mind since they knew that they would need these people to fight the spirit beasts that came.
In a sense, everyone was indeed working together much better than before.
They all knew their roles and they didn’t need to exchange words at all to do what they needed to do.
The main reason why they did all this was because they knew that they wouldn’t survive if they didn’t work together.
In the fight against the Peak Foundation Realm Beast, there was no doubt that any of their groups would have failed to fight against it. If they were to fight it alone, without overwhelming it with numbers, it would have been a hard fight.
After all, they could see just how thick the hide of the Peak Foundation Realm Beast was.
They knew that if it wasn’t for all of them wearing it down, they wouldn’t have been able to do enough damage to take it out alone.
So they knew that they needed each other for the waves to come.
During the time that they had to prepare, Huang Xie led the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group over to the loot that had been dropped by the Peak Foundation Realm Beast.
Other than the statue, this was the place that had the most people gathered.
That was because all of them were looking at this jewel that the Peak Foundation Realm Beast dropped.
Though they had already been looking at it for some time now, there wasn’t a single person that recognized what this thing was. It didn’t seem like anything that would even come from a spirit beast with the way that it was shaped.
When Huang Xie’s group came over, the ones that were looking over this jewel just handed it over without a word.
Even though they could tell that this thing wasn’t normal, they knew that there was no point in trying to keep it for themselves. After all, this place was just a place for souls, it wasn’t a real world.
The items that the spirit beasts dropped weren’t real items in the first place.
It wasn’t as if they would be able to take these out of the tower with them, so there was no reason for them to try and hoard them.
Instead, it was better to let Huang Xie take a look to see what this thing was.
The people that had undertaken trials with Huang Xie before knew how special his abilities were, so they knew that he was not someone that they could ignore.
He was someone that always gave surprises that no one expected, so they couldn’t count him out this time.
After taking it, Huang Xie looked carefully at the jewel.
As he turned it around in his hand, everyone looked at him carefully as if they were trying to figure out just what he was doing.
However, Huang Xie didn’t seem to react at all as he stared at this jewel.
It was almost as if he couldn’t see a single thing from this jewel.
After a long silence, Huang Xie shook his head and gave a sigh.
The others were disappointed since it seemed like he wasn’t able to find anything with this jewel.
So they turned around and started going to the defenses as if they were helping to build.
But before that happened, there was a light that suddenly appeared.
All of them turned around to see that the jewel had suddenly lit up and the reason for this was…
“Senior sister, what did you do?” Huang Xie asked in a confused and surprised voice.
Xiao Ming looked down at the jewel that she was holding before shaking her head to show that she had no idea.
She really had no idea what happened as she had only been trying to take the jewel to have a closer look at it. But the moment that it touched her hand, it immediately started releasing this lavender glow.
Everyone came back, but they couldn’t get too close to Xiao Ming with Huang Xie and Yu Huang forming a shield around her. Even if they wanted to approach her, they had no choice but to stay back and observe from afar.
During this, Xiao Ming had raised the jewel up so she could take a closer look at it.
But after standing there in silence looking at the jewel for a bit, she just simply shook her head and said, “I have no idea what this thing does.”
Everyone was shocked to hear this and seemed like they wanted to give different suggestions, but they were stopped by the glares from Huang Xie and Yu Huang. The two of them looked like they would attack anyone that said a single thing about Xiao Ming.
They didn’t understand why Huang Xie was suddenly acting like this, but they chose not to offend him and remained silent.
Xiao Ming started waving the jewel around in her hand as if she was trying to do anything with it, but it didn’t seem to react no matter what she did.
So in the end, she had no choice but to give up.
The jewel only stopped glowing when she let go of it.
The others tried picking it up as well to see if they could get a reaction from the jewel, but it didn’t seem like it. No matter which one of them picked it up, there wasn’t a single light that came from the jewel.
It seemed that it would only react to Xiao Ming.
So they all looked at her with confused looks as they wondered what was the difference, but Xiao Ming just shook her head and spread her hands to show that she didn’t know.
Since there was nothing else that they could learn about this jewel, there was no reason for them to keep worrying about what it was.
Instead, it was better for them to focus on the other things that they could do.
But there was something that Huang Xie still had to do before anything else.
He looked at everyone who was preparing to leave and said, “She’ll hold onto this for now.”
Everyone was surprised to hear Huang Xie say this, but the way that he looked at them was as if he would broker no argument.
Though in the first place, it wasn’t as if any of them was going to argue with him.
The fact of the matter was that none of them were capable of using this thing in the first place. So even if they wanted to take this thing, it wasn’t as if there were any justifications in taking it.
So all of them agreed that Xiao Ming should just hold onto this thing since she was the only one that was able to use it.
With that decided, everyone focused on getting ready for the next wave.
The timer was set for thirty minutes, so they had a decent amount of time to prepare themselves.
Though by the end of it, they didn’t feel like they were ready for what was about to come.
It was just that there was nothing that they could do about it since the trial wouldn’t wait for them.
By the end of it, they had created a decent sized wall around the statue that they would be using to defend against the spirit beasts that came. This wall was actually thicker than the walls that they had built before since they used all of the materials used to build the other walls on this wall.
But even then, they couldn’t help feeling anxious since they had no idea what was coming…
When the timer ended, the doors opened around them just like before.
This time, there were only a hundred doors that opened, so it didn’t seem like there were that many spirit beasts to deal with.
However, the aura that came from these doors was more than enough to pressure them.
A hundred Peak Foundation Realm Beasts.
That was what came out of these hundred doors.
The moment that they felt this aura hit them, everyone started to feel panic.
One Peak Foundation Realm Beast was something that they could easily deal with.
Ten Peak Foundation Realm Beast was something that they could work together to take.
But a hundred Peak Foundation Realm Beasts…
There were some of them that weren’t even in the Foundation Realm yet…
Those that were in the Foundation Realm, many of them weren’t even in the Mid Foundation Realm.
There were only a few that could fight these spirit beasts head on and the rest of them were nothing more than cannon fodder.
It seemed like it was time to feel despair…
Or at least that was what they thought at first until Huang Xie suddenly charged out.
Huang Xie didn’t hesitate at all to give a roar that attracted over half of the spirit beasts that came out of the doors.
They all charged in his direction, as if they were planning to take out this fool who charged out on his own.
