Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 496 - 299: Defensive Power Skyrockets_2

Even though he couldn’t make it into the top 100, as long as he reached the peak, he would be rewarded with an additional 100 points, which was definitely worth it.

points could completely allow him to exchange for several cultivation methods, secret techniques, or martial arts, or to comprehend the Rule Origin 10 times. Whichever option he chose, it would greatly enhance his strength.

Soon, one after another, both humans and Mutated Animals lined up to take on the challenge. This time, there were as many as 500 competitors, a full 10 times more than the last.

Wu Yuqin was among them.

At that moment, her beautiful eyes revealed a decisive look when she gazed at the mountaintop.

She was very clear that this was likely her last chance. If she missed it, she would definitely lose the biggest opportunity of all.

Of course, whether she could rush to the top still depended on strength, and she had had no hope before.

Although she possessed Dual Abilities, neither her Spiritual Power nor her Sound Wave Ability was of much help in climbing.

But in those 12 hours, she had undergone intense cultivation.

While other people could at most get to grips with one Cultivation Technique, she had entered the doorway of two.

One was a Spiritual Power Cultivation Method, and the other was a secret technique.

It had to be said that such comprehension and cultivation speed were deserving of her genius reputation.

After mastering the Spiritual Power Technique, her spiritual power structure was reconstructed, and her spiritual power’s strength doubled.

In addition, she also mastered a Secret Technique of Burning Spiritual Power, which could increase the intensity of her spiritual power by fivefold on top of the existing foundation in a desperate situation.

Spiritual power could control objects. As long as she applied spiritual power to herself, her speed could be greatly improved, and she could even manage to fly.

"What a pity, if I had another six hours, maybe I could have grasped the basics of the Spiritual Power Control Method I exchanged for, and then I could have burst forth with much higher speed," Wu Yuqin thought to herself as she scanned the line-up of Mutated Animals.

Especially those Mutated Animals known for their speed; this time, definitely more than one would reach the top.

Because these Mutated Animals had also exchanged for Cultivation Methods, their speed had skyrocketed.

As Wu Yuqin mulled over these things, she felt a cold energy surrounding her, which then condensed into a suit of ice crystal armor on the surface of her body.

Clearly, this signified that the power of the Dragon King had descended upon them, and the challenge could now begin.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Whether they were Mutated Animals or human challengers, nearly all started moving at the same time.

They sprinted up the different stairways leading upwards.

The distance from 90,000 meters to 100,000 meters only had the last 10 stairways left.

At this moment, on the stairway Wu Yuqin was on, the Mutated Cheetah was in the lead, followed by the Mutated Tiger, Mutated Lion, and Mutated Eagle.

Wu Yuqin’s speed was decent; she merely maintained a position in the middle of the group, with Mutated Wild Wolves, Mutated Hunting Dogs, Mutated Honey Badgers, and others behind her.

She was not in a hurry, and of course, there was no use in being so, since the Burst Secret Skill that burned spiritual power could only be maintained for one minute, and it had to be used at the most critical moment.

But even without the boost from the secret skill, she was much more at ease compared to her last climb.

Because as her spiritual power had greatly increased from the Spiritual Power Technique, just her spiritual power alone could increase her speed to twice the speed of sound.

Plus, with her own Sixth Order Peak strength allowing her to burst forth with double the speed of sound, when both were combined, she could now unleash four times the speed of sound.

Such speed was only slightly behind those top predators.

Moreover, because humans had a smaller body size and were less targeted by the spatial Fissures, they could cope more easily compared to the Mutated Animals.

However, this ease was relative.

As they continued upwards, the Fissures in space became denser, and the situation for her became increasingly perilous. By the time she reached the midpoint, injuries like severed hands and feet were common.

Of course, with Ye Feng’s healing, these weren’t considered dangerous.

Wu Yuqin kept gritting her teeth and persevering. Finally, when she reached an altitude of 97,000 meters, the density of spatial Fissures in front of her had doubled compared to when they started.

This was also the most dangerous stretch, almost akin to a death zone.

Wu Yuqin glanced at the other staircases, where about 100 Mutated Animals still led her.

And the fastest among them, the Mutated Cheetah, was now only the final 2000 meters away from the mountain summit platform.

At this moment, she no longer hid her capabilities. She instantly activated a secret technique, and her spiritual power began to burn.

Boom!

The spiritual power surrounding her turned substantial, distorting the air around her.

Wu Yuqin’s speed surged dramatically. Originally, her spiritual power could only double her sonic speed, but in that instant, it increased tenfold.

Adding to her original speed, her limit now reached 12 times the speed of sound.

Such speed instantly made her the fastest in the field.

More importantly, as a human, she was much smaller than those Mutated Animals.

Compared to the Mutated Animals rushing at the front, the attacks she suffered were at most a tenth of what the Mutated Animals endured.

With these two advantages, Wu Yuqin’s speed skyrocketed, and in just one minute, she crossed the 3000-meter distance and was the first to rush onto the mountain summit platform.

Upon reaching the summit, she passed out on the spot.

It couldn’t be helped; burning spiritual power was no joke. It was not only massively draining but could potentially cause irreparable damage.

However, Ye Feng could still sense that the secret technique Wu Yuqin had chosen was of quite high quality.

Firstly, its burst effect was impressive.

Secondly, although her spiritual power was nearly exhausted, the faint fluctuations of her spiritual energy remained remarkably stable without any sign of collapsing.

"She shouldn’t suffer any lasting effects," Ye Feng murmured as he used his spiritual power to support her teetering body.

Then, extending a root, he touched it to Wu Yuqin’s smooth forehead, infusing her with rich Life Energy.

Wu Yuqin, who had been unconscious, gradually became aware again. At that moment, her head felt as if it was about to explode.

But a continuous stream of strange power poured into her mind, relieving the pain steadily, and her condition was rapidly improving.

When she opened her eyes and saw what was happening before her, she quickly realized what was going on.

"Thank you, Dragon King," Wu Yuqin said respectfully.

Ye Feng then set her down and looked ahead.

At this point, about one-fifth of the 500 Mutated Animals and humans climbing had voluntarily returned to the 90,000-meter platform after making some progress.

Another fifth had perished along the way, while the remaining three-fifths successfully reached the platform. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

In other words, nearly 300 Mutated Animals and about 30 humans had arrived here.

Both Mutated Animals and humans showed a hint of regret on their faces upon arrival, clearly lamenting missing out on the last spot.

But most were excited because reaching the mountain summit platform meant they had earned an additional 100 points.

If these 100 points were used to comprehend the Origin of Basic Rules, it would grant them 10 more opportunities than others.

In such a case, the likelihood of breaking through to become a Seventh Order Strongman would greatly increase.

Ye Feng’s gaze swept over each of the Mutated Animals who had reached the summit, memorizing their appearances. These would be his key targets for future training.

It’s worth mentioning that following Wu Yuqin, the 100th to arrive at the summit was a Mutated Eagle.

With that, all 100 spots were filled.

Now they were waiting for the final assessment in 6 hours.

Of course, Ye Feng was also going to take this opportunity to integrate the last Golden Silk Dragon Grass, allowing his Divine Wood God Body to truly reach the entry level.
