Chapter 869: Chapter 870: Expulsion_1

After killing those players, Song Jian picked up the sniper rifle. Although he couldn’t use it, he couldn’t let it fall into anyone else’s hands.

Quickly, he summoned his motorbike and rode towards the center of the city;

Along the way, many players tried to intercept those with vehicles. Even if they sprinted at full speed, players would still be much slower than the pace of the toxic zone’s encroachment;

Many players had realized that if they couldn’t find a vehicle in the city, they would definitely be eliminated by the toxic zone.

Therefore, players who hadn’t found vehicles focused their attention on those who had;

Song Jian didn’t entangle himself with these players who tried to block him. Even if the long-range professionals hit him, it was nothing serious for Song Jian, who was equipped with epic-level gear, and couldn’t cause fatal damage;

As for the melee professionals blocking the road, Song Jian directly executed the Thousand Swords Art, turning them into his own points. It took him more than thirty minutes to cover a short distance of less than ten kilometers, but he gained over a dozen points;

By this time, Song Jian had reached the city center. Even if the toxic zone continued to shrink, he had time to enter the safe area with the shrinkage of the zone;

Putting away his motorbike, Song Jian walked forward, and after turning a street corner, he discovered a large lake.

The lake was filled with intense nuclear radiation, with countless monsters howling furiously on the surface. These monsters had human-head-sized tumors on their bodies, densely packed and somewhat nauseating to look at. Someone with a phobia of clusters would not dare to get close to them;

In the center of the large lake was an island less than one hundred square meters in size. Above the island floated a longsword emitting a purple-gold glow.

The sword was like a purple-gold sun, radiating intense light in all directions;

“This sword, why does it look so much like the Sword Immortal Severed Blade?” Song Jian frowned slightly, staring at the sword in the sky and thought, “This sword looks almost exactly like the one I obtained before, the Sword Immortal Severed Blade, except that the Sword Immortal Severed Blade’s blade is only half left, whereas this one is complete;”

Song Jian watched the sword for a long time. Just then, the sword suddenly vibrated and began changing shape. In a short time, the sword transformed into a brush more than a foot long, with the tip seemingly dipped in thick ink;

“This, this is…” Song Jian was startled. It was then that he realized the weapons floating in the air were merely illusions and not really there;

Just at that moment, Song Jian sensed that, thirty meters to his left, a player emerged. He didn’t seem to worry about being ambushed, boldly standing atop a building that was half destroyed, gazing at the sky above the central island of the lake;

“Those who can come here at this time all seem to have quite the courage!” Song Jian laughed, and with a leap, he too jumped onto the roof of a villa and sat down cross-legged;

The illusion above the island kept changing, each form a weapon that only unique professions could wield. Watching the ever-changing weapons in the sky, the eyes of all players shone with fervor; this was their closest shot at a unique profession.

Soon, a dense crowd of players appeared around the lake, and the number of remaining players in Song Jian’s periphery steadily decreased, with the system’s notifications flooding by like a waterfall;

Nearly one third of players were eliminated by the toxic aura, and these players couldn’t even preserve the points they had earned, only receiving the minimum reward of a one-point increase in all attributes;

However, those who were eliminated by other players were able to retain a portion of their points, which they could exchange for some desired rewards after exiting.

These were merely consolations for the losers, but in this Trial Space, there was only one true victor; everyone else would ultimately face elimination;

Thus, many players had actually shifted their focus to accumulating points, not rushing towards the city center, but rather frantically ambushing other players along the way to obtain points—when the toxic aura was about to envelop them, they would simply give up the assessment and exit the Assessment Space.

The players who made it to the city center, circling this large lake, were all those desperate to be the final victor, yearning for the qualification to become a unique profession;

The ten unique professions would all originate here, but in this Assessment Space, only one player would triumph!

Some players were itching to move, but many more waited patiently, which caused the restless ones to restrain themselves, not daring to do anything that might cause a misunderstanding, as that could likely provoke an attack from everyone present;

Time ticked away, and quickly another half hour had passed—the toxic aura had now shrunk to the vicinity of the city center, and the number of remaining players had dwindled to fewer than fifty. At this point, everyone had gathered around the lake, staring unblinkingly at the weapon above the island that was constantly changing shape;

“Are we just going to wait here until the toxic aura swallows us all up?” a player finally couldn’t bear it and shouted loudly;

“So, do you have any better suggestions?” someone asked with a sneer.

“Fight!” the player who seemed to be of the Berserker profession bellowed, brandishing two hand axes: “Let’s find opponents for one another, battle it out, decide the victor, and keep fighting until the last winner is determined!”

“If you want to fight, I don’t think anyone will stop you. Feel free to find an opponent and battle it out!” someone chuckled. Fighting at this moment was simply suicide; whether you were the loser or the winner, you’d be picked off by a third party as soon as the victor was decided;

Just then, the toxic aura began to slowly advance towards them, the dense green fog like the hand of the Death God reaching out;

All the players’ faces turned pale as they started moving towards the lake—monsters within the lake seemed to sense something as well, becoming very excited, constantly leaping out of the water to roar bloodthirstily at the approaching players.

“Damn it, let’s knock out these monsters first, or else we’ll have to fight them in the water!” someone yelled, leading the charge against the monsters in the lake.

The toxic aura continued to contract relentlessly, showing no sign of stopping. It looked like all the players would eventually be driven into the lake, or even to the small island in the center of the lake.

“Attack!”

Soon, almost all players began to eliminate the monsters that emerged from the water, taking advantage of the fact that the toxic aura hadn’t yet closed in;
