The Seventh Base

"How many virtual trial grounds have you cleared?" Xu Mo looked into Zero's eyes and asked.

"Six." Zero replied.

Zero's attack power was fierce, and her spiritual power was strong, but she had a clear weakness: her movement speed was inadequate for swift assaults, making it difficult to clear stages easily.

To clear six virtual trial fields in three months, she must have spent a lot of time in them.

"Silly, why push yourself so hard?" Xu Mo pinched Zero's cheek.

Zero puffed up her cheeks and looked at him angrily. Was her face that fun to pinch?

Besides, she wasn't silly.

"Didn't we purchase Genetic Evolution Liquid earlier? It's all here, and you can get rewards by passing. I didn't know what to choose, so I just picked randomly. If I can't use it, I can sell it." Zero said.

"Hmm, my wife knows how to live economically." Xu Mo said with a smile. These things are indeed very valuable, though they might not hold much value to the Mystic God Temple.

"What have you been doing these past few months?" Zero looked at Xu Mo suspiciously.

"Cultivating, what else could I be doing?" Xu Mo looked at Zero, puzzled by her expression.

Zero stared at him quietly, seemingly doubtful. Erin Uranos joined them at the Mystic God Temple, had a good relationship with them, was beautiful, and possessed Angel's Wings. Could Xu Mo have gone on a date with her?

"Zero, I'm really amazing now." Xu Mo said, noticing Zero's look.

"How many virtual trial fields have you cleared?" Zero asked.

"..." Xu Mo was stunned: "One, but that's because I haven't started yet."

"One?" Zero's eyes were filled with even more doubt as she said, "Then start now."

"Uh!" Xu Mo was taken aback, then nodded: "Okay."

Zero walked to the side, sat on the sofa, and silently watched.

Xu Mo looked at Zero quietly sitting there. If he couldn't get through, he would likely be in trouble.

"I take back what I said earlier." Xu Mo muttered something that Zero couldn't understand before heading to the cultivation cabin.

Who said Zero is silly?

That's being wisely foolish.

Zero has cleared six virtual trial fields. If Xu Mo had been earnestly cultivating and only cleared one, she wouldn't believe it. If he couldn't clear more, it would definitely mean he was being unserious.

After entering the cultivation cabin, Xu Mo's body connected with the equipment, and he selected one of the virtual trial fields to enter. Once again, he felt the sensation of time and space travel, as if he was brought to another world.

In Cleo's office, he had just received the message that Xu Mo has entered the virtual training ground.

Soon, a virtual projection appeared in front of Cleo, with a scene showing Xu Mo in the virtual training ground. These Mystic God Temple transcendent trainees are well aware that their training in the virtual trial field can generate data reflecting their various strengths and is one of the temple's assessment criteria.

"Entering the virtual trial ground at the last moment?" Cleo watched the scene with interest. The three-month deadline was fast approaching, and this was likely Xu Mo's last chance. Others had attempted many times, but previously, Xu Mo used the trial field as a place to hone combat skills, without truly intending to pass through.

But now, the boy couldn't sit still any longer.

The SS-level Genetic Evolution Liquid may not be of great value to the Mystic God Temple, but it still holds immense allure for transcendent beings on the brink of a breakthrough. Moreover, the Genetic Evolution Liquids at their temple come in many varieties and are more effective than those outside, making them ideal for transcendents aiming for evolution.

Of course, even if one were to not choose the Genetic Evolution Liquid, they could opt for rewards like weapons and equipment instead.

This kid holding back would indeed be odd. After all, based on the information gathered, after Xu Mo and his group settled on Chloe Star, they purchased some basic types of Genetic Evolution Items, indicating a significant shortage.

Let's see how many virtual trial fields Xu Mo can pass this time.

Cleo watched quietly as Xu Mo easily cleared the first two trial fields without encountering any trouble.

Having already passed one virtual trial field before, plus these two, Xu Mo had now cleared three. The difficulty difference wasn't significant up to that point, but moving forward, the challenge would increase.

The virtual projection on the right side directly generated various data of Xu Mo during combat.

For example: attack strength, movement speed, attack speed, etc. The virtual trial field can generate data directly.

Of course, what is shown doesn't necessarily reveal all of Xu Mo's capabilities.

After digesting the Thunder God 7 Genetic Evolution Liquid, Xu Mo's physical attributes had greatly improved, with his Source Power Level likely reaching the peak of the current realm. Ordinary Imperial Realm individuals couldn't withstand even a single strike from him.

While Xu Mo was in the virtual trial field, many at the Mystic God Temple paused their cultivation.

During these three months, most people were immersed in cultivation. Entering the Mystic God Temple was the first step, and after three months, the Ten Temple Alliance would be a crucial assessment following their entry.

In these three months, many people could shift their previous rankings, but beyond this point, rankings would largely solidify, and their general potential would become apparent.

If they perform exceptionally in the Ten Temple Alliance, they would receive further attention from the Mystic God Temple and be groomed toward becoming Skywalkers.

Over the centuries, the Mystic God Temple had established a comprehensive selection mechanism, and the internal screening was quite scientific.

Many people were entering and exiting the Genetic Medicine Repository, all there to receive rewards for clearing the virtual trial field.

Among them was Gisman.

Through his efforts over these three months, he had cleared three major virtual trial fields, earning three rewards. He had been trying to clear the fourth virtual trial field but always felt he was just one step short.

"Gisman." A voice called out, and he turned to see someone approaching.

The person was a transcendent recommended for Mystic God Temple selection by Uranos, someone Gisman knew.

In the Mystic God Temple selection process, this individual ranked over thirty on the leaderboard, which is quite impressive.

Of course, even so, Gisman was not particularly interested. Over thirty and eighth place are not on the same level of strength.

"Got something to say?" Gisman asked.

"You passed how many Virtual Trial Fields?" the person asked.

"Three," Gisman responded.

"Impressive, I barely passed one Virtual Trial Field with all my might," the person replied. "Although the difficulty before the third Virtual Trial Field is similar, different Virtual Trial Grounds still require different skills to match. After passing the first, I tried many times but failed."

"That's already quite good," Gisman said. In his view, for someone ranked over thirty to pass one Virtual Trial Field was acceptable.

"Yeah," the person nodded. "I'm satisfied. I heard Xu Mo also only passed one, though his name is placed in the top tier ahead of Augustus."

"Xu Mo only passed once?" Gisman asked.

"Yes," the person nodded. "That should be accurate. He only came once."

Gisman showed a hint of surprise. Xu Mo was the fourth person to pass the Virtual Trial Field; he shouldn't have only passed once. Could it be that in the following two months, he hasn't made progress?

"Maybe he plans to make a breakthrough all at once," Gisman said.

"Passing a Virtual Trial Field has rewards. Once you receive the rewards, you can improve your strength, making it easier to pass subsequent Virtual Trial Fields. Normally, one would go through it once to get the reward and improve strength, let alone three months have passed."

Although Gisman felt there might be some issues here, and Xu Mo should have achieved more, he was too lazy to think much about it. At least for now, Xu Mo has only passed one Virtual Trial Field.

"You're Katie, right?" Gisman said.

"Yes," Katie nodded. "Gisman, we were both recommended by the Uranos Family to enter the Mystic God Temple. We should maintain a friendship with the Uranos Family, but Miss Erin seems uninterested in us. Instead, she's quite close to Xu Mo. It turns out, it's still about capability—others despise us."

Katie's words touched a sore spot for Gisman, his eyes flashing a cold light. He said, "Don't belittle yourself. After entering the Mystic God Temple, we have nothing to do with the Uranos Family and don't need anyone's attention."

"That's true." The two casually chatted. With a common topic, their distance narrowed, and Katie and Gisman came together, preparing to spar in the battle ground to mutually improve, which was Katie's purpose in approaching Gisman.

As the time ticked by, there were still a few people attempting the Virtual Trial Ground.

A rumor spread: Augustus, ranked first on the leaderboard, had already passed the eighth Virtual Trial Field. Many were amazed at Augustus's formidable combat power, considering he was very strong even before entering the Mystic God Temple, and he had undergone three months of cultivation there.

In three months, passing eight Virtual Trial Fields—it's unlikely that anyone else could achieve that, or even come close.

Currently, aside from Augustus, not even another person has passed the seventh Virtual Trial Field.

No one knew that someone was attempting the seventh Virtual Trial Field at this moment.

Cleo remained seated in the office, watching the scene ahead.

The seventh Virtual Trial Field Xu Mo chose was the Sword Skill Arena.

Around his body, nine figures clad in white armor appeared, surrounding him.

Each of the nine wielded a sword, brimming with a terrifying energy aura.

The swords glittered, refracting brilliant rays of light. The next moment, beams of white light emerged, and the nine figures seemed to vanish into the void, disappearing instantly. The next moment, a powerful sense of danger rushed in.

"Boom…" the Meteor Body Technique burst forth, as starlight seemed to erupt. Xu Mo's figure vanished from his original spot, appearing in the sky. Nine afterimages flickered at where he just was, the nine swords silently slashed down, cutting through space, vanishing instantly.

"So fast." Xu Mo felt that these nine figures in the Sword Skill Arena seemed to have also cultivated the Mystic God Temple's powerful combat skills, possessing a strong sword technique and terrifying movement speed.

Moreover, the nine seemed to have formed a Sword Killing Array.

As the nine figures reappeared, they encircled Xu Mo's body again, transforming into a series of afterimages. Sword intent seemed to emanate, and Xu Mo felt sword energy lurking in his surroundings.

He unleashed his perception to the maximum, closed his eyes, with breath like thunder, nine flying swords appeared around his body, each radiating potent energy aura.

"Who's faster," Xu Mo mused.

The next moment, nine figures vanished, transformed into nine beams of white light, rushing towards him.

"Boom…"

Thunder exploded from the ground, reverberating in space, All Phenomena Kill.

Nine flying swords pierced through the void instantly, seemingly ignoring distance, targeting those nine figures.

The nine figures maneuvered with exquisite movement, dodging with terrifying speed while simultaneously slashing with their swords.

"Boom."

Xu Mo's body erupted with immense energy again, disappearing from his spot instantly, charging to a location, and directly slashing out with a sword.

The sword light like lightning, as thunder bolts, a figure tried to dodge but saw the sword light swell, cutting through space, slicing off a figure with a puff.

After Xu Mo killed a figure, the extra flying swords exploded forth again, his form moving with the flying swords.

Cleo watched the scene in front of him, lost in thought.

At this moment, nine flying swords rapidly flew, annihilating the last figure.

The seventh Virtual Trial Field, passed.

"No weakness," Cleo said. He saw that Xu Mo's cultivation was targeted towards balancing all aspects, leaving no shortcoming.

Afterward, Xu Mo went on to challenge the eighth Virtual Trial Field.
