Chapter 411: Endless Sea
From the forest insect attack, to Stormwind Valley, then to the volcanic lava, and the recently concluded Thorny Marsh—
Whether it was the harshness of the trial environment or the frequent changes in the stages, Gavin-Tuer, and indeed all the spectators present, remained highly focused, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
After all, against the backdrop of the extremely harsh environment of the Potted Landscape Secret Realm, the battles between the Transformation Trial participants were particularly intense, which made the entire trial very watchable.
At times, it even made the Glory Arena spectators so tense they almost forgot to breathe, and their hands became unusually cold…
The moment the Elemental Tide began, the participants, who had been forced by the thorns to stay airborne, could finally choose to land and return to the meditation array.
Due to magical power exhaustion, the state of most participants at this moment could be described as “collapsed.” Therefore, after returning to the meditation array, everyone’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and their faces became unusually pale.
However, even so, when they saw Jia Na, the culprit of this “Thorn Disaster,” in the meditation array, everyone reacted as if they had post-traumatic stress disorder, taking a step back in unison, standing far away from Jia Na, with no intention of being in the same area as her.
After these few stages of trial, all participants also discovered that the difficulty of the Transformation Trial, in addition to the harsh trial environment, largely stemmed from those participants who had mastered Law Fragments!
Just like in the second stage in Stormwind Valley, Maguire-Storm controlled the hurricane to blockade Stormwind Valley. And Louis Tor-Turan,
In the third stage, he used the Burning Law to trap participants trying to cross the lava lake.
These were all interfering factors beyond the extreme trial environment:
However, when it came to the superiority of their methods, Maguire-Storm and Louis Tor-Turan combined were not as terrifying as Jia Na alone!
Maguire-Storm's hurricane blockade, though initially formidable, was not an impenetrable fortress without weaknesses.
Many people managed to break through the hurricane encirclement and resolve the crisis by hiding underground or finding the hurricane's weak points.
Or, in the lava lake, Louis Tor-Turan's Burning Law did indeed block many participants in the lava lake, preventing them from crossing the fire line.
However, Louis Tor-Turan's limited energy also meant he could only block some people. For those participants who had mastered fire element immune forms, it would not cause too much trouble, aside from consuming a bit more magical power.
However, by the fourth stage, a seemingly ordinary Thorny Marsh environment made all participants truly understand what “all-round crushing” meant.
Not to mention Kunbu-Poison Spine continuously driving poisonous insects to besiege other participants in the early stage.
The thorns spread throughout the entire Potted Landscape Secret Realm seemed to have grown eyes. Except for Hai La - Herheim, who was hiding in the shadows, all other participants, no matter where they hid, would be found by the thorns and surrounded and attacked.
Even Kunbu-Poison Spine ultimately could not escape the fate of being besieged by thorns.
No matter what type of insect he transformed into, he would be seen through by the “thorns” at a glance, and then driven into the air with a combination of whipping and striking.
Precisely because of this, to avoid the thorns' encirclement, everyone had to constantly maintain their transformed state and fly at high altitudes for long periods, not daring to touch the ground at all.
And this also led to the magical power and stamina of the participants entering a very bad state.
If the Elemental Tide had been a few minutes later, perhaps even Louis Tor-Turan would have surrendered. “Rumble——”
The roar of the Elemental Tide continued. As time gradually passed, Jia Na found that this Elemental Tide lasted much longer than the previous ones.
Each arrival of the Elemental Tide, in addition to causing drastic changes in the trial environment, also served as a period of rest for all participants to recover their magical power in another form. This time was only about five minutes in the previous instances.
However, up to now, Jia Na found that ten minutes had passed since the first roar, but the surrounding environment showed no sign of changing.
“Is this a special rest period for the participants? Or is the trial scene of the final stage undergoing significant changes, requiring more time for reshaping?”
Not having found an answer, Jia Na stopped racking her brains and continued to close her eyes, using the surrounding meditation array to accelerate her magical power recovery.
Compared to others, Jia Na, who had maintained a plant form throughout the fourth stage and controlled the thorns using the Growth Law Fragment,
Aside from some mental exhaustion, her magical power consumption was not significant.
Precisely because of this, Jia Na's current state could be said to be quite good compared to other participants. “Whoosh——”
Time passed bit by bit. Finally, when the Elemental Tide reached its fifteenth minute, the roaring sound within the Potted Landscape Secret Realm quietly disappeared, replaced by the sound of surging, roaring waves.
“What everyone is seeing now is the final stage of this Transformation Trial—the Endless Sea, which is the Potted Landscape Secret Realm's imitation of the most perilous Calamity Domain from the Element Soul Secret Realm—”
Hearing John Jones's explanation, the faces of the Glory Arena spectators couldn't help but show surprise.
In the eyes of inlanders, the ocean is always a mysterious and dangerous place. In addition to the unpredictable ocean environment, the influence of climate is also one of the important factors that make the ocean extremely dangerous.
Just hearing the term Calamity Domain, various dangerous and exciting scenes had already appeared in the minds of all the spectators present.
Not to mention, among the many spectators present, there were also many ordinary people who had never seen the ocean in their entire lives.
Therefore, upon hearing John Jones's introduction to the Endless Sea, these people inevitably became excited.
“Oh no, this stage takes place in the ocean, which is a very unfavorable situation for Miss Jia Na!”
Watching the constantly changing scene in the Potted Landscape Secret Realm, Goblin Billy, sitting in the audience, said worriedly.
“Miss Gavin, do you know if Miss Jia Na has any other transformation areas she is good at besides plant transformation?”
Compared to Goblin Billy's worry, Gavin-Tuer, who was also observing the scene within the Potted Landscape Secret Realm at this moment, was much more composed and calm.
“Don’t worry, Jia Na will be fine in this stage.”
