The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

This was definitely a very big blow to Rein\'s team.

But that blow became insignificant when the very first challenge of the seventh floor, where the disciples needed to defeat a puppet in one field of their choice, eliminated all the remaining disciples except for Rein, Colinde, Lu Shi and two other disciples. Even Lan was unable to clear this round even after trying very hard.

But this was only the first challenge of the seventh stage and the other challenges present here were even more troublesome. So among the five people only Rein and Lu Shi were able to clear this floor. Even Colinde was eliminated when there was a challenge that tested her knowledge.

This sudden turn of events was astonishing. At first it looked like this realm was trying to create a situation where someone would need a very good and cooperating team to clear this trial. But then suddenly it eliminated most of the team members with challenges where individual brilliance was most needed.

The people who were eliminated were not unhappy as they were given valuable rewards before getting out of the realm but this sudden shift was still very surprising.

But this was not the time for Rein to worry about these things as he needed to clear the eighth stage next. After clearing the seventh stage he was told that he needed to clear three more stages to become the ultimate winner so there must be 10 stages in total in this trial.

The eight stage again tasted a person\'s mental endurance by making the challenger to suffer an unimaginable amount of pain without giving up. If one gave up, that person would be disqualified from the trial.

Again Rein was capable of getting rid of the pain forcefully but there was a chance that it might disqualify him and this type of test was also a very good training, so Rein endured it with his willpower.

But then he found out that it was actually quite easy for him. When he had his perfect body ability, he got hurt pretty often and very badly most of the time, so Rein was used to enduring a massive amount of pain. For Lu Shi was not that easy but she was a strong girl with very high willpower. So she was also able to endure it.

After the eighth stage Rein and Lu Shi got ready to take on the ninth stage. They now wanted to clear this trial ground together and were determined to accomplish that. The ninth round turned out to be a special kind of battle where they needed to survive for one whole day against an unlimited amount of enemies.

These enemies would attack both of them continuously without stopping. The only way to get rid of them would be to survive against them for one whole day and then they would disappear. But as the power of these enemies were going to increase over time, it was not going to be easy to survive against them for a whole day.

There was a very good thing in this trial though and that was the fact that Rein and Lu Shi would be able to challenge this together. In this situation even if the power of the enemies became too much for Lu Shi to handle, Rein would still be able to protect her.

The enemies that appeared were of various types. There were demons, beasts and even humans. But it was clear that these were not real with a proper soul but some kind of imitation being created by the person who was responsible for creating this secret realm. Actually all the enemies that had appeared so far were of this kind.

But this fact did not affect the strength of the enemies at all and these enemies were extremely proficient in battle. Rein saw that on her own Lu Shi would only be able to last for about 15 to 16 hours and after that Rein started to protect her. She might be able to last for some more time but this would also put her life in danger. So Rein was unwilling to take that risk.

The trial ground really wanted to eliminate Rein here so at the very last moment it started to send powerful opponents that even Rein would have trouble against if he did not use his other skills. So this trial was extremely hard. But still Rein was somehow able to survive for the whole 24 hours without resorting to his other skills as a form of training and was able to clear this stage.

Now only the final and the last was remaining for Rein and Lu Shi to clear.

...

While Rein and Lu Shi were able to reach the final stage, there were only three people who had managed to reach the later part of the seventh floor. The sixth floor was tough for the others too who had not expected that kind of tough challenge all of a sudden. So they were unable to endure it for long and were eliminated. Then the infamous first challenge of the seventh floor got rid of the others.

The prince was one of the people who had managed to reach this stage. Even though his leadership ability was questionable, he was truly extremely talented even among the royal family. So when the trial suddenly became quality based instead of team work based, he was the one who benefitted from that the most.

Other than him the leader of the well performing team who was very kind was also able to clear most of the obstacle. She was a girl who looked very petite but she was one of the most talented people that this world had seen. Even the prince had to struggle in some of the challenges but this girl named Ganyu was able to breeze through everything like it was nothing.

As for the last person, he was a loose cultivator not associated with any superpower and was a part of the loose alliance. But even in the alliance he was not one of the leaders and was just a background character. But actually he was hiding his true strength and was pretending to be ordinary. This man was actually holder of a legacy belonging to a true god and was extremely powerful.

He only showed off his true abilities when he was sure that this place was also holding a true god realm legacy.

Now with all these interesting people, this whole trial was getting interesting even though Rein was just about to win it.
