Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 564 - 330: Successful Passage_2

Ye Feng’s gaze swept over these weapons, pausing briefly over a large cleaver, then moving on to a mountain axe.

These could all be considered alternative options.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as they landed on a huge Alloy Hammer.

Given the strength of his body had reached the initial phase of Stage Two, using heavy weapons would undoubtedly make it easier to leverage his physical advantage.

Moreover, since the target was made of rock, the direct smashing effect was preferable to slashing and chopping.

Soon after selecting his weapon, it was time to choose the armor. Although Ye Feng was confident in his physical strength, he didn’t act recklessly and quickly chose a set of leather armor.

The defense provided by the leather armor wasn’t great, but it was sufficient to protect vital areas. Of course, what was most important was that it was lightweight enough not to hinder his movement speed.

With both weapons and armor chosen, Ye Feng didn’t stop there, but instead headed to a corner on the far right of the weapon rack.

This area was filled with Saber Tools.

Ye Feng’s gaze fell upon the throwing knives. He chose the smallest model available, each no longer than a finger and no wider than a centimeter.

Of this kind of throwing knives, he selected a total of one hundred.

Ye Feng was not skilled in the use of Saber Tools, but he had spiritual power!

While controlling objects with spiritual power wasn’t his forte, it was sufficient to deal with First Order enemies.

Lastly, he arrived in front of the Strange Flowers and Rare Fruits, grabbing a large bunch.

These items didn’t have a quota, and of course, what wasn’t used in the battle had to be returned, so Ye Feng naturally didn’t hold back.

Once he finished preparing, the three minutes were almost up.

Ye Feng looked at the countdown in the sky, gripped the giant hammer in his hands, and subtly adjusted his breathing.

Ten, nine, eight... three, two, one!

The moment the countdown hit zero, Ye Feng immediately sprang into action, stomping fiercely on the ground.

As a depression formed on the ground, he shot forward like a cannonball, heading straight for the nearest Rock Puppet.

During this process, the Power of Thunder and Lightning was unleashed, these forces not scattering but instead channeling into the Alloy Hammer in his hand.

Boom!

The hammer, imbued with the Power of Thunder and Lightning, struck fiercely against the chest of a Rock Puppet.

Against these First Order Peak Rock Puppets, Ye Feng’s strength held an absolute advantage.

This powerful and heavy blow caused the chest of the Rock Puppet to cave in by half a meter, sending it flying nearly 10 meters backwards.

However, Ye Feng slightly frowned upon seeing this scene, because as the Rock Puppet flew backwards, the cracks that had formed in its body were already beginning to self-repair.

"Although its strength is merely at the First Order Peak, with no clear weaknesses and this self-repairing ability, its level of difficulty might even exceed that of Stage Two Initial Mutated Animals," Ye Feng quickly assessed in his mind.

But he had already anticipated this, so he wasn’t flustered at all. He reached to his waist, and ten small throwing knives were already in his palm.

The Power of Thunder and Lightning infused the knives, which he then flicked out in a whistling flurry.

With the enhancement of spiritual power, the speed of the throwing knives was not slower than bullets, directly shooting towards the Rock Puppet’s chest.

Puff puff puff!

The ten throwing knives, under Ye Feng’s meticulous control with his spiritual power, penetrated precisely through the gaps that had opened in the Rock Puppet’s chest.

In truth, given the small size of these throwing knives, even if they passed through these Rock Puppets dozens or hundreds of times, it would be difficult to truly kill them.

But Ye Feng’s target was not their bodies, but the Formation nodes within them.

Ye Feng was not battling these Rock Puppets for the first time; he had already studied them when the World Tree Body entered the Land of Inheritance.

The reason these Rock Puppets could constantly self-repair was due to the peculiar Formations within them.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Formations are difficult to destroy. Even if the Formation’s pathways break, they can self-repair. The weak points are only those Formation nodes.

However, these Formation nodes aren’t fixed; they constantly change their positions as the Formation operates. Even if one or two nodes are destroyed by chance, it’s in vain; they can still continue to repair themselves.

Only by destroying at least ten formation nodes can the entire regional formation collapse.

Hence, for the average person, this was simply an insoluble dilemma.

But evidently, Ye Feng did not fall into the category of an average person.

With the strength of his spiritual power, he could easily lock onto the position of each formation node.

Ten throwing knives accurately hit these nodes, and in the next instant, the power of thunder and lightning on the knives burst forth.

As bolts of lightning danced, the formation nodes and the surrounding lines were all shattered; the entire Rock Puppet began to collapse, then crumbled into a pile of stones.

Gu Ao Duo, who had been closely watching the battlefield, couldn’t help but smile upon seeing Ye Feng cleanly resolving a Rock Puppet, even his wingbeats quickened a notch.

"Well done, it took only 3 seconds to solve a Rock Puppet. Maintaining this speed, the chances of passing the assessment are very high," Gu Ao Duo said excitedly.

Ye Feng had no time to pay attention to Gu Ao Duo’s reaction.

After he threw those ten throwing knives, his figure flashed as he stomped on the ground, already rushing toward the second Rock Puppet.

Boom!

Almost exactly as before, Ye Feng was much faster than these Rock Puppets.

He easily dodged the fist swiped by the Rock Puppet, then hammered heavily on its chest.

This time, Ye Feng handled it even more adeptly.

Almost as soon as the Rock Puppet flew up, ten throwing knives imbued with the power of thunder and lightning followed, striking accurately at the formation nodes within its body.

Another Rock Puppet turned into a heap of rubble, and Ye Feng dashed toward the next target.

In this way, Ye Feng adopted the most straightforward and effective attack method, continuously reaping the lives of one Rock Puppet after another.

During this process, he would also occasionally take out a Spirit Fruit and swallow it to maintain a good state of Spiritual Energy within him.

As the killings went on, the speed at which Ye Feng killed the Rock Puppets even increased, from the initial three seconds to just two.

He even began to attempt using the throwing knives alone to slay the enemy; if possible, the efficiency could be even faster.

However, as good as the idea was, Ye Feng realized after two attempts that it was not feasible.

Of course, it wasn’t a problem with him but with the quality of these throwing knives, which could only be described as quite ordinary.

Basically, each throwing knife could only withstand about ten penetrating attacks at most before being rendered unusable.

Therefore, Ye Feng had to continue with the old method, first creating cracks on the chest of the Rock Puppets, then allowing the throwing knives to penetrate through these cracks, destroying the formation nodes.

Even if the speed was somewhat slower, according to the current situation, Ye Feng would need no more than half an hour to kill all the thousand-plus Rock Puppets, thus passing the assessment.

But Ye Feng had a faint feeling that it might not be that simple.

In fact, Ye Feng’s perception was quite precise; after he killed 500 Rock Puppets, their attack patterns suddenly changed.

They no longer attacked individually but began to form arrays instead.

Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn’t be much of an issue, but the problem was that once they formed arrays, their attack methods also changed.

With the strange formations on their bodies resonating, the fists of these Rock Puppets could actually fly out, launching long-range attacks at Ye Feng.

"How did the others pass this assessment?" Ye Feng couldn’t help muttering as he watched the barrage of rock fists heading his way.

Of course, the scene in front of him wasn’t much of a problem for him; a moment before the rock fists hit, Ye Feng’s figure vanished into thin air.

Space Shift!

In the next moment, he reappeared amid the Rock Puppets’ formation.

With a resounding boom, Ye Feng began a massacre right within the formation.

Then it was a one-sided slaughter once more, and by the time 45 minutes had passed, the last Rock Puppet was shattered.

Ye Feng had successfully passed the assessment and became a core member of the Heavenly Court.
