Under the coordination of the three units, the battle quickly approached its end.

“Ding- You have achieved a glorious victory… You have gained 9,600 experience points…”

Jichen looked at the shimmering crystal tower on the empty ground.

According to the instructions from the mechanical voice, destroying this crystal tower would complete one-third of the second stage’s objective.

After a brief hesitation, he waved his hand, instructing the Shallow Sea Murlocs to throw projectiles at the crystal atop rhe tower.

Crack…

After a crisp sound, the tower trembled slightly.

Cracks appeared on the top crystal, quickly dimming its once radiant light.

At the same time, the entire Tidal Palace trembled slightly, as if something had been unleashed, filled with malicious intent for slaughter.

Jichen’s heart sank.

This should be what the mechanical voice had mentioned: after destroying the tower, a powerful horde of Tidal beasts would pursue them.

But he didn t expect it to happen so quickly.

They weren’t even given a moment to rest!

With no time to spare for further thoughts, he led the army to sprint towards the next crystal tower.

They ran madly all the way.

Just as they arrived at the open space near the northern crystal tower, they heard terrifying and desperate howls coming from the direction of the western crystal tower. The relentless sound continued.

It was a terrifying and bone-chilling sound as if a horde of savage beasts were roaring together.

“It seems we need to pick up the pace.”

He took a deep breath and looked at the crystal tower in front of him.

Just like the previous one, it was guarded by four to five hundred Tidal Serpents.

They awakened from their slumber.

As soon as they saw Jichen, they immediately let out a deafening roar.

Upon hearing this commotion, the sounds from the western crystal tower quickly ceased, indicating that they had been alerted to their presence and were swiftly approaching.

Time was running out.

Without hesitation, Jichen urgently spoke.

“Alice, control all the Serpents. Sea Pixies, clear the entrance passage.11

“Naga warriors, cover the shallow sea murlocs as they directly destroy the crystal tower!”

Since they had already been detected, there was no need to hide any longer.

The mechanical voice only stated the need to destroy the crystal tower; it didn’t specify that they had to eliminate the guarding tidal beasts.

As long as they followed the procedure, this approach would also allow them to pass the level.

Alice’s singing voice quickly filled the air.

Sea pixies shot out water arrows, swiftly clearing a path.

Naga warriors led the way, protecting the shallow sea murlocs as they reached the maximum firing range of their tridents and destroyed the crystal atop the tower.

The second crystal tower was successfully destroyed!

Before the pursuing horde of tidal beasts arrived, they left the area and headed towards the last crystal tower on the eastern side of the open square.

Three minutes after Jichen and his team left the northern crystal tower,

A group of three thousand Tidal Beasts, with an impressive rank of Tier-3 with S-Star, arrived late.

Upon seeing the bewildered faces of the serpents and the destroyed crystal tower,

They let out a piercing and furious roar.

For a moment, the entire Tidal Palace resonated with their voices.

Under the command of a monstrous leader, they dashed towards the last crystal tower.

One side sought to destroy the crystal tower and quickly return to the open square.

The other side aimed to prevent the crystal tower from being destroyed.

The pursuit unfolded in a frenzied chase.

Jichen quickly caught sight of the crystal tower on the eastern side.

As long as they destroyed this final tower and safely returned to the open square, the second challenge would be considered complete,

It followed rhe same pattern.

Alice took control, Naga warriors cleared the way, and the shallow sea murlocs destroyed the tower.

The entire process took less than two minutes.

However, even so, just as they were about to destroy the crystal tower and make their way back to the open square along the main road,

The horde of Tidal Beasts chasing them was less than a minute away.

When Jichen saw the number and rank of the Tidal Beasts, his eyelids twitched.

Like a horde of zombies, they densely filled the road ahead, rushing towards them like a tsunami.

Without hesitation, Jichen led his army to run.

Finally, when they were just fifty meters away from the destination, they entered the open square, and the massive stone door closed with a resounding thud, blocking the Tidal Beasts outside.

The Tidal Beasts frantically attacked the stone door, causing it to reverberate.

But the patterns on the door suddenly lit up, emitting a faint green glow.

No matter how the Tidal Beasts attacked, they couldn’t make the slightest dent.

“Phew-”

Jichen leaned on his knees, breathing heavily.

His heart was still pounding.

They had come dangerously close to being caught by the beast horde.

With such a massive and powerful group of Tidal Beasts chasing them, the outcome would have been dismemberment.

Not even a single piece of bone would have been left.

The difficulty of the second challenge was simply outrageous.

It was so high that it could no longer be considered a test because very few players could survive under such circumstances.

First of all, each crystal tower was guarded by four to five hundred Tidal Serpents, all of them at the level of Tier 3 with 2-Star. Dealing with them was no easy task.

The biggest challenge was that once a crystal tower was destroyed,

A tidal horde of up to several thousand Tidal Beasts, all at the level of Tier 3 with 8-star, relentlessly chased after you.

Their speed was unbelievably fast.

If Jichen hadn’t had Alice take control first and cleverly destroyed the crystal tower,

I’m afraid they would have been caught by the Tidal Serpents while killing the Tidal Serpents guarding the second crystal tower.

From triggering the beast horde by destroying the first crystal tower to attacking the second crystal tower, there were not even fifteen minutes in between.

And to clear the Tidal Serpents, it would have taken ar least half an hour or more.

So it was said that the difficulty was beyond imagination.

It was simply impossible for a human to accomplish.

Jichen even began to doubt if the Tidal Lord did not want anyone to obtain the inheritance of the class.

He looked up.

At some point, a taller and grander crystal tower had risen in the middle of the open square.

The crystal at the top radiated a brilliant light, almost dispelling the fog throughout the entire palace.

Even from a considerable distance, one could sense the terrifying energy contained within the crystal.

“Congratulations on successfully completing the Race Against Time, the second challenge.11

“Next is the third and final challenge.’1

“All you need to do is destroy the crystal tower at the center of the square to complete all the challenges and obtain the class inheritance of the Tidal Lord.”

Now, there was only one step remaining.

Once this crystal tower was destroyed, the powerful and unique class would be within reach.

Although troop-based combat was the mainstream for players,

Who wouldn’t want to possess the power to move mountains and change the course of nature?

He would no longer be just a commander hiding behind the troops, but someone who became a powerful force himself.

However, Jichen did not make a move.

He just looked at the towering crystal tower with a complex expression.

It was as if he was speaking to a being.

“No need to conceal yourself. You must be conscious, right?”

Alice looked at Jichen with some astonishment, not understanding why he would say such words.

There was no response.

But Jichen didn’t question it further. Instead, he continued with a light expression.

“The first challenge, as a test for class inheritance, still falls within the normal range. But the second challenge is rather puzzling. Destroying the crystal towers? And once they’re destroyed, there are so many tidal beasts chasing after us. According to normal circumstances, the chances of success are almost zero. If it weren’t for Alice, we would have been torn to shreds by now. Tell me, which challenger could pass such a test? Rather than calling it a test, it’s more like a death sentence. This stage is filled with abnormalities, and we have to destroy the crystal tower in the center. If 1 actually destroy it, the energy contained within will likely destroy this place immediately. Did 1 get everything right?”

As he finished speaking, there was silence.

For a long time.

Then, a voice resounded once again.

But This time, it wasn’t the emotionless mechanical voice. It was a hoarse voice filled with wickedness,.
