The Tier 6 extract was his!

The Liquid Clone quickly stored the extract in its storage item.

Then, it flew with all its might toward the opening above.

All the Trialists had finished digesting their extracts. They could be sent back to the Dice Space at any moment!

Su Ze quickly removed the metal Token blocking the hole. The Mirage King was dead, so the shell had lost its Self-Healing Ability.

But just as Su Ze got his hands on the Token, he felt a suction force envelop him, and his body flew uncontrollably toward an unknown location.

’It’s too late!’

Su Ze’s heart sank.

But he immediately sighed in relief, because he sensed that his Liquid Clone, still inside the shell, was also caught in the suction.

Apparently, the Divine Dice recognized the Liquid Clone as part of Su Ze and was pulling it back to the Dice Space as well.

In a flash, Su Ze was back in the Dice Space.

He quickly had the nearby Liquid Clone merge back into his body and took the Storage Earring from its hand.

Seeing the vial of blue extract lying intact inside the Storage Earring, Su Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

’This venture finally paid off, and the reward is staggering!’

’A Tier 6 extract. If word of this gets out, I’m sure a lot of people will be after me.’

The fourth trial was over. Twelve Trialists remained. They glanced at each other, then tacitly retreated to keep their distance.

The exits would be opening soon, and some were already contemplating whether to leave.

Many had originally planned to leave this round. Xiang Chuan, for example. He might not look very smart, but he wasn’t completely oblivious to his own limitations. He knew that if he didn’t leave now, the competition ahead would be far too fierce.

There were only three spots left in the final two rounds. He’d have to compete with Su Ze and Wan Qizhi. Xiang Chuan knew his place; he understood he couldn’t beat either of them in a one-on-one fight.

But the fourth trial had just given him a sliver of hope.

For one, the rewards were too generous. For another, it hadn’t seemed that dangerous.

Only one person had died during the entire fourth trial.

’By that logic,’ Xiang Chuan thought, ’I should be able to pass the fifth trial without any problem. And the reward for the fifth trial...’

Just the thought of it made Xiang Chuan’s heart pound. The rewards for this Divine Dice trial were clearly much greater than before.

Xiang Chuan wasn’t the only one who thought this way.

The situation had once again become complicated.

The people who wanted to stay faced a problem: the last three exit spots seemed to have already been claimed by Su Ze, Wan Qizhi, and Mr. Ya.

Su Ze was too strong and was almost guaranteed the first spot. Wan Qizhi was the second strongest. As for Mr. Ya, although he didn’t seem particularly powerful, he had Su Ze’s protection. With Su Ze’s help, he would surely snag a spot as well.

Anyone who wanted to stay would have to eliminate at least one of those three to have a sliver of a chance.

The problem was, none of the three were easy to kill. Su Ze went without saying. Wan Qizhi was also incredibly strong, and Mr. Ya was just too good at running.

It seemed their only hope was to gamble on one of the three dying in the fifth trial.

Or... they could focus their fire and take one of them out right now.

Mr. Ya came to Su Ze’s side, rubbing his hands together. "Boss, did you get it?"

Su Ze nodded slightly. He knew Mr. Ya was asking if he’d gotten the extract.

"Why are you always rubbing your hands lately?" Su Ze asked curiously. He didn’t remember Mr. Ya having this habit before.

Mr. Ya said helplessly, "I can’t help it. It’s a subconscious thing. It might have something to do with the fly extract I absorbed."

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands together again.

’A fly rubbing its hands?’

’He’s being affected by the energy in the extract. He probably won’t be able to stop until he’s fully digested it.’

"Boss, maybe I should just leave this round," Mr. Ya said.

He was already very satisfied with his gains from this trip to the Divine Dice. Not only had he reaped a bountiful harvest, but he had also killed his enemy with his own hands. He figured that if he stayed, Su Ze didn’t really need his help anyway. It would be better to leave now.

"What’s the rush? Leave next round. I’ll make sure you get out."

"I’m not worried about failing to grab an exit. I’m just afraid the next trial will be tough," Mr. Ya voiced his concern.

Even without Su Ze’s help, with his array of life-saving skills, it wouldn’t be hard for him to seize an exit. At worst, he could just activate his invincibility and charge forward. Who could stop him?

But he was afraid the next trial would be another combat-oriented one. Inside the Divine Dice, artifacts were disabled. His damage output relied solely on basic attacks, which was frankly a bit pathetic.

Su Ze thought for a moment, then took out his cracked moon blade. "Take this knife for now. Just use it as a normal blade. It’s sharp enough. Combined with your elusiveness, you could consider being an assassin."

Although the moon blade had a small crack, it didn’t affect its use as a weapon.

Mr. Ya took the moon blade. Just then, three beams of light lit up overhead... The exits were about to open!

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

Several figures shot into the air, flying upward to fight for the exits.

Su Ze and Mr. Ya, of course, remained still. Wan Qizhi didn’t move either. Xiang Chuan hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to stay.

Besides the four of them, the other eight all went to fight for the three exits of this round.

As the exits opened, the eight of them broke into a chaotic brawl...

Su Ze watched for a while and noticed that a few of the eight weren’t fighting that hard. They seemed to have an attitude of ’if I can get out, great; if not, whatever.’

It seemed they were also undecided about staying or leaving, so they were just leaving it to fate.

Because of these few who were fighting half-heartedly, the scramble for the exits this round wasn’t as intense. In the end, three people managed to rush out at the cost of minor injuries.

The three exits closed, and the Dice Space fell silent. Just as expected, starting from the fourth round, there were no random spots, only fixed ones.

The five who failed to get out landed on the ground. They exchanged glances, their eyes furtively darting toward Wan Qizhi.

Su Ze was too strong, and Mr. Ya was too good at running. Besides, if they attacked Mr. Ya, Su Ze certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch. So, they had actually locked onto Wan Qizhi as their target.

Among the five was even one of Wan Qizhi’s teammates, another official from Lin Hua Country. He, too, had set his sights on Wan Qizhi.

Wan Qizhi snorted coldly and stood up straight, completely unafraid.

In the end, however, after some unknown exchange via Spiritual Transmission, the five of them didn’t make a move.

Su Ze guessed they wanted to wait until the end of the fifth trial and see how things played out before deciding whether to act. If Wan Qizhi happened to die in the fifth trial, they wouldn’t have to do anything at all.

Amidst the silent wait, the fifth trial began!

This time, the nine Trialists weren’t sent to a Trial Space. They looked up at the beams of light above them, and an instant later, a wave of information entered their minds, explaining the content of the fifth trial.

The rules for the fifth trial were incredibly simple: kill!

Kill one other Trialist, and you pass the trial! 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The time limit was ten minutes. After ten minutes, anyone without a kill to their name would be eliminated—directly erased by the Divine Dice!

At this stage, the Divine Dice trial finally ripped off its bloody veneer, exposing its cruel nature to everyone.

This round was designed to make the Trialists kill each other. Kill and live, or don’t kill and die.

The very next moment after they understood the rules, a group of people suddenly charged at Wan Qizhi.

Wan Qizhi never expected to be ganged up on. A total of six people were attacking him. In other words, aside from Su Ze and Mr. Ya, everyone else had chosen to kill Wan Qizhi first!

This even included Xiang Chuan and the other genius from the Lin Hua Country government.

These sanctimonious government geniuses, who had started out so self-righteously, talking all about maintaining order and reducing bloodshed, were now backstabbing their own teammate.

At a time like this, the strongest person would naturally be targeted by the crowd. The one they should have been dealing with was Su Ze.

But Su Ze was simply too strong. He had single-handedly killed fourteen Trialists earlier, and the memory of his ferocity was still fresh.

This made them afraid to move against Su Ze. The six of them combined wouldn’t dare claim they could beat him.

Thus, Wan Qizhi, widely recognized as the second strongest, became their best choice. Kill Wan Qizhi first, and then they could fight amongst themselves for that slim chance of survival.

Wan Qizhi’s face paled slightly. He wasn’t Su Ze; no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t just steamroll these other geniuses of his generation. Facing an attack from six people, the slightest mistake could really be his end.

Just then, Xiang Chuan, one of the six, was suddenly yanked by an immense force, flying sideways with a WHOOSH.

This made the other five who were chasing Wan Qizhi halt in their tracks and look at Xiang Chuan.

They saw that Xiang Chuan had been pulled over by Su Ze’s Gravity Chain and was now pinned to the ground under Su Ze’s foot.

"Su Ze, what do you think you’re doing!" Xiang Chuan blustered, though he was terrified inside. "You dare touch me? Do you have any idea who my grandfather is?!"

"Call me grandpa."

"You’ve got some nerve..."

Before Xiang Chuan could finish, Su Ze, no longer bothering to waste words on him, smashed his head with a single punch and casually took his Storage Ring.

’The fifth trial required a kill anyway. I had no beef with the others, but I’d had a small conflict with Xiang Chuan. Who else was I going to kill?’

’Besides, this also helped relieve some pressure on Wan Qizhi. Wan Qizhi is Chen Suifeng’s disciple, and Chen Suifeng has looked out for me before. I don’t mind helping Wan Qizhi out, both to complete the trial and to earn a favor.’

’As for whether Xiang Chuan’s Saint-level Supreme grandfather will retaliate...’ Su Ze’s gaze swept over the remaining people. ’They probably won’t even get a chance to leave and report it.’

’Once this trial is over, the two spots for leaving will, barring any surprises, go to Mr. Ya and Wan Qizhi. Everyone else will die here.’

’Mr. Ya is one of my own. And as long as Wan Qizhi hasn’t been struck by lightning and lost his mind, he won’t reveal that I’m the one who killed Xiang Chuan.’

’Xiang Chuan’s grandfather will never know how he died.’

"Mr. Su, my thanks!" Wan Qizhi thanked Su Ze solemnly.

"We’re all brothers here. Don’t mention it," Su Ze said with a smile.

Xiang Chuan’s sudden death caught the other five people attacking Wan Qizhi completely off guard.

In the moment the five of them were stunned, a long blade appeared like a phantom and lopped off the head of the other government genius.

Mr. Ya’s figure materialized behind the man, the blood-drenched moon blade in his hand.

Su Ze and Mr. Ya, having both secured a kill, saw five small dots appear in the palms of their hands. They were identical to the five dots on the "5" face of a die, symbolizing that they had passed the fifth trial.
