"Humph! You qualified!"

On seeing the familiar writing whose writer claimed to be the will of the dead Sea King, Sebastian heaved a huge sigh of relief as he finally released control of his body and started relaxing his tense nerves.

He did not let down his guard, but he tried to stop the various activities of his body to lower his feeling of fatigue.

Though he was stronger than all the predators that he faced, without his Water Transmutation unique skill, he was severely handicapped.

Fighting 100 straight weak opponents without his trump card was stress that even he could not take, he felt exhausted mentally.

Even if he just needed his battering ram and crushing bite skill to overcome the opponents at times, activating a skill 100 times was still extremely exhausting.

He was about to celebrate surviving the first test, but the next writings that appeared in the sky deflated him.

"Against all odds, you dared to defy my wishing you bad luck and qualified!"

"You're a really daring fellow, you deserve death!"

"Well, congratulations, you passed the first phase of the first test".

"I call the first test- weeding the weak white from the strong black".

"The first test comprises of 4 phases, the first balanced test which you just finished, the strength test, the defense test, and the endurance test".

"Hahahahaha!"

"Let the best predator win, my bad luck wishing or your luck".

"This phase of the first test is the simplest. All that you need to do is to strike the object as hard as you can in one move".

"If you can't destroy it, you die".

"Hehehe!"

"Let the strength test begin!"

Sebastian released a grimace. Though he had not met the will of the dead Sea King yet, he was already convinced that he hated it with passion through the writings that he saw.

"I've not even rested yet".

No one listened to his complaint though as the battle arena that was filled with a bright light that he was hovering in suddenly changed in such a drastic manner that he did not expect.

Everything changed, the background was no longer a bright cherry white but was now a dark gloomy red that glowed from the walls of this strange hall.

Sebastian was now inside an extremely long hall.

Almost immediately after this change, Sebastian's system lit up a new notification which attracted his attention immediately.

[Current Environment Structure Detected!]

[Warning! You are currently inside a large-scale Virtual-Reality Domain!]

Below this system notification was a small explanation box of what a virtual-reality domain was by the system.

According to the system, a virtual-reality domain was a special domain that was created by a predator with high attainments in the light origin laws.

It was a domain world where visionary environments could change at the speed of light, creating new environments that were even birthed through imaginations alone. This was its virtual aspect.

Its reality aspect was that anything that happened inside this special domain, for example, a predator dying was real.

It was a fusion of reality and illusion through extreme control of the light magic domain and an outstanding understanding of its origin laws.

In other words, all the predators who suffered under Sebastian's 100 thrashing campaign all died for real.

Sebastian already knew this through his system notifications, but still getting to know it in detail left him shuddering in fear a bit.

This once again reminded him of what was at stake here, his life.

He didn't know how much time passed already since he entered the inheritance ground, but this time, he already killed 100 Orange tier predators.

This was a massive number of deaths though he already killed more.

The strange hall was in a rectangular shape, with an extremely long length and short width. The width of the hall was so short that Sebastian could not turn his body around without it colliding against the walls.

Activating his electroreceptors, he tried but could not see the end of the hall that was behind him. The hall was just too long, all he could see was the end of the hall that was before his front.

At the end of the hall that was before his front, a metallic structure that looked like a signpost and also like a hitting target was erected.

Tick! Tick!

As Sebastian observed the only structure that was in the hall, he heard this as he used his electroreceptors to narrow down where the sound came from.

At the top of the hall, he saw a wall clock. The time was now ticking, and at the top of the wall clock was placed a poster where a huge 60 was written in bold.

Sebastian was at first confused by the use of the clock and the meaning of the 60 in this hall, but what happened next enlightened him.

Creak! Creak!

To his shock, the width walls of this hall suddenly contracted closer to his body. Confused, he observed for a few seconds, and after 10 seconds, the walls contracted even closer.

This was when his eyes widened in shock and enlightenment.

"F*ck! You don't mean this right?"

The setting of this phase of the test finally became clear to him. The metallic structure that was before him was the target of this phase of the test that he was supposed to destroy in one move.

Failure to do it would result in death from crushing. The way of dying was not hard to figure out as the walls were on the verge of contracting again.

Sebastian felt imaginary sweat filling his face as he also deduced the meaning and importance of the clock and the large 60 that was written above it.

The clock served as his timer, and the 60 above it meant 60 seconds.

He was meant to finish this round of the test in 60 seconds, failure to do so meant being crushed to death by the slowly contracting walls.

From the 2 contractions of the wall already, he deduced that each contraction was at an interval of 10 seconds. This meant that another 4 more contractions and he would officially be a dead Megalodon if he did nothing.

He had only 40 seconds more.

Sebastian's imaginary sweat increased. "What kind of messed-up setting is this?" Even as he questioned indignantly, he already moved.

He had no time to consider his choices nor to engage in any meticulous thinking, he directly jumped in and did what he could.

[You have activated skill: Magic Teeth!]

[You have activated skill: Spike Attack!]

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

Only clacking sounds reverberated in the long hall as Sebastian's teeth hit the metallic structure, while new ones rapidly grew in his mouth. The metallic structure was too sturdy for such attacks.

While this happened, his spike adaptations which already poked out from the side of his body scraped at the left wall due to his close proximity to it.

Sebastian didn't expect the structure to break from the onset though.

He activated his magic teeth skill to test the sturdiness of the metallic structure, while he activated his spike attack skill to test the thickness of the walls, this was the best preparation that he could do.

After he did this, he immediately started amassing the strongest power that he could accumulate to prepare his one move to break the structure.

38.., 37.., 36..

The time continued ticking forward which gave him more pressure.

He had less than 35 seconds, there was no time for him to engage in a trying game, this one chance was probably his last chance, he directly gave his available all that he could muster.

Sebastian could not think through deeply about it because of the limited time, but his imagination went to work and he quickly decided on a combination of skills that he had not tried before.

In a situation like this, he knew that none of his skills could break the deadlock alone. He tried to see if he could combine his skills.

[You have activated skill: Supersonic Speed!]

[You have activated skill: Water Cyclone!]

[You have activated skill: Sound Control!]

[You have created a sound construct: Loud Speaker!]

[You have activated magic gadget's active skill: Vacuum Space!]

[You have activated magic gadget's active skill: Sound Blast!]

[You have activated skill: Sound Reflection!]

"F*CK YOU!!!"

Instantly, hell broke loose as the implications of activating so many skills in such a dangerous experiment came into effect.

Activation of his supersonic speed skill made him accelerate at an astonishing speed, paired with the water cyclone skill, he turned to what seemed like a tornado which was tyrannically sweeping across the long hall.

With these 2, he turned into a deadly ball packed with kinetic energy.

With his sound control skill, he created a loudspeaker sound construct, and once he ended it with his sound reflection skill, he screamed.

Before screaming, through his magic gadget's active skills, the vacuum was created that amplified all his sound domain skills before the terrifying AOE sound blast skill was released with force.

All this amplified Sebastian's scream to the maximum.

Crack!

The initial scream alone spread cracks through the walls as the tyrannical potential of the empowered sound reflection skill came into play again.

With the loudspeaker construct, Sebastian's yell was amplified several folds, which indirectly translated to the sound reflection skill's effect amplifying.

Pairing this with the massive amount of kinetic energy that he already amassed due to the speed that he moved at and the cyclone that revolved around him, the sound was amplified even more.

The sound quickly exceeded safety levels, continuing on an unstoppable upward trajectory till it got to such decibels that the walls of the hall cracked.

34.., 33.., 32..

At the 32nd second, the sound was finally reflected in its full glory.

The combination of so many skills to form such a powerful effect was no longer normal. In this situation where he was under a lot of pressure, Sebastian succeeded in creating his first killer move.

"Killer Move: Ancient God's Blast!"

The skill finally collided with the metallic structure.

BOOM!
