'Huf…huf..huf'

Leo received the system notifications and while gasping for air, Leo checked them out.

Other than being out of breath, Leo's blood-coloured face turned pale as his body was filled with many cuts, some were very big, making the bones visible.

[Wind Elemental Trial: 50 / 100 wind blades]

Along with the system notifications, Heaven's Voice also showed Leo's progress regarding the trial.

Until now, Leo had been using the same technique, which was to use the [Starlight Steps] to avoid getting hit by the wind blades in critical places and intentionally getting cut by them in harmless body parts.

He had completed five rounds of wind blades from the Wind Elemental Dragon King and for each round, the size of the wind blades would be increased by one meter. So, for the fifth round, the wind blades were around five meters.

Of course, Leo was completely dodging them and only got cut by their edges, but still, his [Nether Rage Booster] was filled by a good percent.

"You have good movement technique, challenger."

Finally, after releasing the five rounds of wind blades, the Wind Elemental Dragon King opened its eyes and praised Leo for his movement technique.

"T-thank you."

Leo was completely tired after repeatedly using the movement technique as he replied to the dragon king while gasping for breath.

"But, you are still too weak to enter God Tower."

In the next second, the dragon king's words sounded a little harsh, "I don't know how you are able to reach the seventh trial without undergoing your first ascending process."

"Nevermind, since you are able to enter the tower with your pitiful strength, then you must have a revival ticket, right? After being sent out of God Tower, don't come back until you undergo your first ascending process."

[Piercing Wind Blades]

As soon as the dragon king finished his words, it released 20 wind blades in a single go.

"I-is that so?"

On the other hand, Leo knew that things would become difficult after the dragon king opened its eyes. Therefore, he had already prepared what to do next.

[Talent Card - Ball of the Divine Healing]

'Kacha'

'Ding,

The master has used [Talent Card] and unsealed [Ball of the Divine Healing] for the next ten minutes.

[Ball of the Divine Healing - Basic Healing]

After using the talent card to unlock the [Ball of the Divine Healing], Leo didn't bother to look at the system notification; instead, he directly activated the talent's basic effect.

'Swoosh'

[Diluted Recovery Potion (Merged)]

Leo didn't stop after activating the basic healing of the [Ball of the Divine Healing] as he drank the merged diluted recovery potion.

Soon, the cuts on Leo's body started recovering at an incredible speed thanks to the combined effects of the [Ball of the Divine Healing] and the [Diluted Recovery Potion].

Other than the healing, Leo recovered his stamina which helped him in using the [Starlight Steps] to dodge the incoming wind blades that were 10 meters each.

'Slash'

'Puchi'

'Aargh'

However, compared to before, Leo was unable to dodge them because not only were they much bigger but their numbers were also three times more than before.

Nevertheless, the newly inflicted injuries were also healed at an incredible speed because the [Ball of the Divine Healing] gives passive healing too.

'I can do it…I can do it.'

Leo was in so much pain; however, he gritted his teeth and endured the pain while continuously moving using the [Starlight Steps]

Even if, by chance, Leo dodges the wind blades completely, they won't disappear; instead, they would return like a boomerang and attack Leo.

'Slash'

'Slash'

'Puchi'

Time continued to pass and it took a little more than one minute for all the wind blades to disappear.

'Huf…huf'

Even though it was only one minute, Leo was tired a lot while trying to control the situation where he was surrounded by 30 huge wind blades.

Other than a body that was filled with injuries that were taking time to heal, Leo had to sacrifice all his fingers.

That's right!

After dealing with the wind blades, Leo observed that, as long as a wind blade touches his body, it would disappear and the count of the [Heaven's Voice] would increase by one.

Therefore, Leo came up with an idea to use his fingers to stop the incoming wind blades and of course, the moment the wind blades came into contact with the finger, it would be chopped off without any surprise.

Among the 30 [Piercing Wing Blades], Leo endured 10 of them by sacrificing his fingers.

The [Nether Rage Booster] has been increased to 450 percent.

Nevertheless, the percentage of his [Nether Rage Booster] has been increased to 450 percent which was still quite far away from Leo's target of 5000 percent.

"Haha…challenger, you are quite an interesting one. You sacrificed your fingers to endure this round of wind blades. It's quite a bold move."

The Wind Elemental Dragon King was quite surprised by Leo's bold move of sacrificing the fingers and praised him.

"Th..ank…you."

Currently, Leo wanted nothing other than to kill himself because of the pain from his chopped fingers.

Nevertheless, Leo thanked the Wind Elemental Dragon King and hurriedly asked, "C..an you…please release the remaining 20 wind blades at once? I want to finish this trial before I pass out from the pain."

Leo didn't know how long he could hold out enduring the pain. Hence, he requested the Wind Elemental Dragon King to release them at once.

"Generally, I should release the last 20 wind blades in two rounds; however, I can make an exception and release them all as I am curious about what you will do."

'Slash'

'Slash'

However, before the two wind blades could reach Leo, he fell to the ground with a relieved expression on his face, making the Dragon King quite confused.
