Chapter 293 Star Trial
At this time, Gu Yang's team members were still immersed in their own research on the Star Plate. Sweat gradually seeped out of their foreheads, and a trace of anxiety was revealed in their eyes.
The patterns on the Star Plate were like unreachable peaks, and each star point seemed to hide a profound secret that was elusive.
Time was like a quietly flowing river, moving forward slowly.
Gu Yang looked up at the hourglass hanging on the wall from time to time, and the sand grains fell one by one, reminding them that there was not much time left.
As time passed, some team members began to show signs of fatigue, their brows were getting more and more furrowed, and some even began to touch the Star Plate randomly, hoping to trigger the correct pattern by chance.
But the Star Plate seemed to respond only to the correct sequence, and it remained silent for these disordered attempts.
Finally, at the last moment of time, the Star Plate of another team member shone with light.
His face showed incredible joy, and then the third and fourth team members also lit up their star disks one after another.
But the remaining team members, no matter how hard they sweated or worked, failed to make the star disks in their hands respond.
Carl's eyes swept across the faces of each team member one by one, and he seemed to be evaluating everyone's performance.
In the end, he announced that the time was over, and only half of the team members successfully solved the secret of the star disk.
Gu Yang looked at the team members who failed, and their expressions were both disappointed and unwilling.
But in this unknown world, every test is a challenge to their abilities and a test of their team cohesion.
Carl walked up to the team members who failed to solve the Star Disk, and his tone was a little cold: "If you fail to solve the Star Disk, you will not be able to participate in the Star Trial and receive the inheritance."
Gu Yang stood beside Carl, and when he heard what he said, he immediately encouraged the failed team members: "Don't be discouraged, we still have a long way to go, and each of you is an indispensable part of the team."
Gu Yang's words seemed to give the failed team members a shot of adrenaline, and their eyes rekindled the spark of hope.
Although they failed to solve the Star Disk, they knew that now was not the end, and there was still hope in the future.
After a while, after arranging these failed team members, the others followed Carl out of the building.
Carl led the team members who successfully solved the mystery of the Star Disk through a long and narrow corridor, and the walls were still engraved with those mysterious star maps and words.
Gu Yang's eyes lingered on these patterns, trying to find more clues from them, but he soon realized that the complexity of these star maps was far beyond his understanding.
They came to a heavy stone door. Carl stretched out his hand and pressed several specific positions on the door. The stone door slowly opened, revealing the space inside.
A fresh air with a slight grass fragrance rushed towards him. Gu Yang took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
They walked into a spacious circular space. In the center of the space was a huge star-shaped platform with a faint blue light on it.
"This is the place of the star trial." Carl's voice echoed in the empty space. His eyes swept over every team member, "Everyone will be tested by the stars here to show your courage and wisdom."
Gu Yang and other team members looked at each other. They could feel the firmness and determination in each other's eyes.
They knew that this trial might be related to whether they could understand the world more deeply, and might even affect whether they could return to their own world.
Carl pointed to the center of the platform, "Each of you needs to stand there alone and accept the baptism of the stars' glory. If you can bear it, you will be praised by the stars."
Gu Yang took the lead in walking onto the star-shaped platform. After he stood still, he closed his eyes and felt the energy fluctuations gushing out of the platform.
His body began to glow slightly, which was the light of the star power flowing in his body.
Other team members also walked onto the platform one after another, and their bodies also began to emit light, some of which were strong and some were weaker.
Just then, the star-shaped platform suddenly emitted a more dazzling light. Gu Yang felt a powerful force pouring into his body, and his consciousness began to become blurred, but he endured the discomfort and insisted on standing.
The light gradually dissipated, and Gu Yang slowly opened his eyes. He found that his consciousness became clearer and the power contained in his body became more abundant.
He looked at the other team members and found that they were also trying hard to bear the test, and everyone's face showed a painful but firm expression.
Carl stood on the edge of the platform, his eyes as deep as the stars, quietly observing the performance of each team member.
If someone noticed Carl's expression at this time, they would find that his eyes were extremely cold, and there was a malicious sneer on the corner of his mouth.
Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the entire Star Trial Land was left with only the sound of breathing and heartbeats.
A moment later, the starlight suddenly brightened.
The next moment, all the people standing on the platform disappeared from the spot.
"I hope you can come out alive. Then, we can have fun again, hahaha."
Looking at the empty platform, Carl laughed and then turned and left.
...
At the moment when the starlight was bright, Gu Yang felt his body being pulled by an invisible force, and the whole person seemed to be free from the bondage of gravity and float in the air.
He tried to open his eyes, but the dazzling light forced him to close his eyes tightly, and he could only rely on his senses to explore the surrounding environment.
After an unknown period of time, the light gradually weakened. Gu Yang opened his eyes and found that he was already in a mysterious space full of starlight.
Under his feet was a veil woven by starlight, as if he would fall into the endless starry sky if he took a step.
He looked around and found that all the other team members who were nearby before had disappeared.
Gu Yang knew that the Star Trial had officially begun.
In this secret land of stars, everyone was isolated in their own area, unable to communicate with others, and could only rely on their own strength to deal with the upcoming test.
Gu Yang took a deep breath, he felt the flow of star power in his body, and a courage and confidence that he had never had before surged in his heart.
He knew that this was the power given to him by the Star Trial, and it was also the release of his own potential.
At this moment, the starry land began to change, and countless starlight condensed into the phantoms of star beasts. They surrounded Gu Yang, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
The phantoms of the star beasts gradually became clear, and each one seemed to have absorbed the essence of the starry sky. They had different body shapes, but all exuded a breathtaking majesty.
Their skin flowed with a luster like the Milky Way, and every breath was accompanied by the flickering of starlight, as if the breath could lead the movement of the stars.
The first star beast was like a huge wolf, its eyes were as deep as a black hole, swallowing all the light.
Its fur was inlaid with countless bright diamond-like star points, each shining in the night sky, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth.
Then, the second star beast appeared. It was a giant dragon, and its scales flashed with blue light, like the light of waves in the deep sea.
Its body was winding, and its tail passed through the starry land, leaving a trail of light, as if weaving a star net.
The third star beast was a unicorn, covered with golden flames. Each flame was constantly changing its shape, sometimes turning into a constellation, sometimes turning into a meteor, dazzling and emitting a brilliance that was too bright to look at directly.
Gu Yang watched these star beasts intently. Although they were just phantoms, the pressure they brought was real.
He could feel that these star beasts were not just opponents in the trial, but more like the existence of guarding some mysterious power.
The star beasts began to move slowly around Gu Yang. There was no hostility in their eyes, but they were full of scrutiny.
They seemed to be testing Gu Yang in a way beyond words.
Gu Yang stood in the center of the star secret land, his heartbeat accelerated with the pace of the star beasts.
He knew that the next challenge would be a double test of his will and strength.
He took a deep breath and prepared to meet the upcoming star trial.
Gu Yang stood in the center of the star secret land, staring firmly at the phantoms of the star beasts surrounding him.
He knew that this battle was not only a test of his strength, but also a challenge to his will. His palms clenched, and the power of the stars boiled in his body, ready to burst out at the necessary moment.
The pace of the star beasts gradually accelerated, and their figures began to quickly intersect in Gu Yang's field of vision, and every movement was accompanied by a trail of starlight, beautiful and dangerous.
Suddenly, the wolf-shaped star beast launched an attack, and its body turned into a black shadow and rushed straight to Gu Yang.
Gu Yang reacted instantly, and his figure flashed, avoiding the bite of the wolf-shaped star beast.
But this was just the beginning, and the dragon and unicorn-shaped star beasts also joined the battle. Their attacks were more fierce, and every blow seemed to tear the space apart.
Gu Yang constantly used his speed and flexibility to deal with the offensive of the star beasts. His hands swept through the air, and every swing brought a blade of star power to compete with the attacks of the star beasts.
The battle became more and more intense, and sweat oozed from Gu Yang's forehead, but his eyes never wavered.
He could feel that although the attack of the Star Beast was fierce, its strength was not much beyond his, and he could handle it completely.
In the repeated confrontations, Gu Yang gradually adapted to the attack rhythm of the Star Beast.
He began to try to counterattack. Whenever the attack of the Star Beast was about to come, he could accurately counterattack, focusing the power of the stars on his fists, and confronting the phantom of the Star Beast head-on.
As the battle progressed, Gu Yang felt that the star power in his body was becoming more and more abundant, as if this battle was stimulating the hidden power in his body.
His attacks began to become more decisive and powerful, and every blow made the phantom of the Star Beast flicker, as if it would break at any time.
Finally, after a fierce confrontation, the phantom of the wolf-shaped Star Beast was the first to break, turning into dots of starlight and dissipating.
Gu Yang stood there, panting, his eyes piercing the starlight and looking into the distance.
He knew that this battle was only part of the Star Trial, and the real test was still to come.
The starlight in the starry land began to condense again, as if preparing for Gu Yang's next battle.
Gu Yang adjusted his breathing, gathered his star power, and prepared to meet the next challenge.
A quarter of an hour later, the dragon-shaped star beast began to move, and instantly came in front of him and launched an attack.
Gu Yang's eyes were firm. Facing the attack of the dragon-shaped star beast, he did not retreat at all.
With each attack of the star beast, Gu Yang could accurately predict its trajectory, cleverly avoid or resist with strength.
The attack of the dragon-shaped star beast was sharp and swift. Every swing of its giant claws was accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, as if it could tear the sky.
Gu Yang was like an experienced dancer. Every dodge was just right. His figure flickered in the starlight, elegant and agile.
The intensity of the battle exceeded Gu Yang's previous expectations, but his heart became calmer.
In this life-and-death contest, his senses became extremely sharp, and he could clearly feel the flow of star power in his body.
Gu Yang knew that he could not passively take the beating and must find an opportunity to fight back. He began to try to guide the attack of the dragon-shaped star beast to expose its flaws.
Finally, after an evasion, Gu Yang caught the opportunity.
The dragon-shaped star beast's attack missed because of his evasion, and its huge body lost balance slightly due to inertia. Gu Yang did not hesitate at all, condensed the star power of his whole body, and punched the star beast's abdomen.
Starlight burst out on his fist, as if a small star was born at this moment.
The phantom of the dragon-shaped star beast trembled under this blow, and then like a broken mirror, it turned into countless starlight dots and dissipated in the air.
Gu Yang did not relax his vigilance because of this victory. He knew that the challenge of the unicorn-shaped star beast was still waiting for him.
He adjusted his breathing and stared at the unicorn phantom that was gradually condensing into shape.
The momentum of the unicorn-shaped star beast was even more majestic, and the golden flames jumped on its body. Every move was full of endless majesty.
Gu Yang knew that this would be a more difficult battle.
The unicorn-shaped star beast did not attack immediately, but quietly surrounded Gu Yang, its eyes were deep, as if it was seeing into Gu Yang's heart.
Gu Yang was not in a hurry to attack. He quietly felt the power emanating from the Qilin-shaped star beast, trying to find a frequency that resonated with it.
Suddenly, the Qilin-shaped star beast let out a deafening roar, and golden flames spread all around, illuminating the entire starry land.
Gu Yang knew that this was a challenge signal from the Qilin-shaped star beast, and he went up to it without hesitation. (End of this chapter)
