"Master, should we teach her a lesson? That woman's been acting restless." Mary asked.

"If she truly opened her heart to me completely, I'd think something was wrong with her head." Xu Lang shrugged, not a ripple of emotion in his heart, then teased, "Do you want your master to act like a furious, jumping monkey?"

Mary let out a chuckle. "Of course not. I just think that you being like this, Master... Isn't it too cold? That feeling of never placing hope in anyone else must be pretty awful, right?"

"Me, cold?" Xu Lang pulled Mary's delicately curvy body into a tight embrace. "I'll show you my temperature right now!"

Mary gasped. "No, Master, aren't you supposed to be doing the Mad King Trial?"

Yesterday morning, both of Xu Lang's attributes had already broken through to five hundred points, and yet the Mad King Trial still hadn't appeared.

So, with some free time today, he gathered up all the items that could boost his attribute points and used up the free attribute points rewarded from the previous game cycle.

Both attributes shot straight up to six hundred!

And then, the Mad King Trial notification appeared.

The first Mad King Trial was at 150 attribute points, the second was at 300, and the third was at 600 points.

Doubling each time.

"It's fine. I'll do both at the same time." A grin spread across Xu Lang's face.

…

Simulation Dream.

Nightmare Essence drained away in a steady stream as Xu Lang entered the Limit Break Trial.

In the second Mad King Trial, he'd taken down Raphael in ten moves, riding high and unstoppable.

But no matter how cocky he got, he absolutely refused to come and take the risk personally without running a simulation first to scope things out.

He was undoubtedly the most cautious Path of Asura Chosen One in history.

"Interesting." Xu Lang appeared in the first level, looked at the guarding boss, and raised an eyebrow.

This first level's boss was embedded in the wall, with blue-green eyebrows and a blue-green beard. Its form was like an evil ghost, yet also like a Yama King, all while possessing a hint of divinity.

The knowledge of immortality in his mind was immediately triggered.

"The Five Organs God, the Liver God, named Dragon Smoke, styled Cold Brilliance!"

The Pure Yang Immortal-Seeking Technique came with its own knowledge of cultivation, and the books in the Dorm Survival Game occasionally contained related information.

All of this was genuine transcendent knowledge that could lead to real cultivation. He was now quite the cultivation expert.

Xu Lang raised his hand, and Seven Killings Blood Qi condensed in his palm, shaping itself into a blade!

"Heh heh!"

The azure-green god raised both hands high, and the vegetation of this world immediately came to life, twisting and lashing toward Xu Lang!

The plants tore through the air, producing a rumbling, thunderous sound.

The earth trembled, undulating like ocean waves, as several wooden dragons burst forth from the ground.

At that moment, Xu Lang actually felt as if he were fighting against the entire world itself!

A Ghost Slash shredded the sea of wood in front of him, but the wooden sea regenerated in an instant, quickly wrapping Xu Lang into a massive ball.

Half a minute later, when everything had finally calmed down, a terrifying cross-shaped slashing wave tore the wooden ball into pieces. Xu Lang burst out from within, and a Ghost Slash wreathed in Seven Killings Blood Qi slammed viciously into the azure-green god's face.

"Arrgh!"

The azure-green god's face twisted in pain, then it sank back into the wall, reappearing on another section of it.

Xu Lang stared at that azure-green divine face, his own expression utterly unreadable.

The next moment, Immortal Fire erupted, turning every inch of burnable space into a execution ground of flames!

This attribute trial was different from all the previous ones.

Breaking the limit on Constitution attribute actually allowed the use of Spirit-based abilities.

The difficulty had correspondingly skyrocketed.

"Boldly trying to destroy me… You will regret this!" In the moments before being reduced to ashes, the azure-green god let out a venomous, furious cry.

After the azure-green god was completely destroyed, a beam of cyan light shot up into the dome.

Xu Lang inexplicably felt a sense of relief, as if a ten-thousand-pound burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His mouth was filled with sweet saliva, and the air he breathed in felt incredibly fresh.

"So the shackles on my body are actually manifested in this way!" Xu Lang stared at the space around him, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Surrounding him were bleached white bones, making the place look uncannily like the inside of a living organism.

Most likely, he had entered his own body. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Xu Lang couldn't help but marvel once again at the wonder of the Dorm Survival Game. Breaking through the limits of life itself could be done simply by playing a game!

If an ordinary person had this ability, couldn't they just keep shattering their genetic locks?

Xu Lang strode forward and continued to the next level.

…

The subsequent levels' bosses were the Heart God, Spleen God, Lung God, and Kidney God.

Then, in a group appearance, came Corpse Dog, Hiding Arrow, Sparrow Yin, Silkworm Thief, No Poison, Removing Filth, and Stinky Lung, among others.

In the cultivation system that Xu Lang had studied, these Three Souls and Seven Poisons were all existences to be beheaded and annihilated, much like cutting away the Three Corpses.

Otherwise, they would grow along with the cultivator and hinder their practice.

Xu Lang's cognitive framework determined the content of the Constitution Limit Break. If it had been Cao Yaxuan or the others, the scene would have been entirely different.

Finally, Xu Lang cut his way through level after level, all the way to the end of the tenth level.

The main course arrived.

A black swirling portal appeared, inviting Xu Lang into the Mad King Trial!

…

Xu Lang was surrounded by pitch-black darkness, feeling a constant sensation of falling until he finally landed on a platform.

This platform was dark and cold in style, as if floating in a void. The farthest end was nothingness, and the space above was also nothingness.

"I am Ghostly Deity·Adams, your final examiner for this Mad King Trial!"

A voice filled with stillness and divinity rang out from in front of Xu Lang.

He saw an existence that was neither fully human nor fully divine, imprisoned high above!

Several dark purple chains pierced through its torso and limbs. Chains under its feet connected to the platform, while the rest of the chains disappeared into the depths of the void.

The left half of its face retained the cold, sharp contours of a human male, with dried, bloody tear stains at the corner of its eye, and its eye burned with an icy blue ghost flame. The right half of its face had already aberrated, the skin covered in dark red scales. The eye socket was replaced by a swirling vortex of pitch-black energy, and the corner of its mouth was split open at an inhuman angle, revealing sharp, jagged teeth.

Its body was tall and hunched, yet its spine was straight, as if trying to pierce through its own neck. The black armor on its chest was broken, inscribed with unknown runes that were constantly repairing themselves only to crack open again, oozing a light like molten purple lava.

The most terrifying thing about it were its two hands. One hand gripped a massive, rust-eaten longsword, its blade radiating both cyan-white frost and purple-black evil energy!

The other hand had aberrated into a massive ghost claw, with a sickly green venom dripping from its fingertips that corroded the very space around it!

Xu Lang couldn't find the conventional words to describe the monster before him, but the shock in his heart demanded an outlet!

In the end, a single, more concrete phrase surfaced in his mind.

—A chained, divine wreck, a weapon of slaughter forged for war!!!
