Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 61 Wishes Fulfilled

When Qin Mu's body touched the glowing round mirror, the mirror surface rippled gently, as if he had passed through an invisible threshold and appeared in a dark hall.

Looking behind him, he saw that Lu Dun and Dong Xingchen, who had been following him and had entered at almost the same time, had disappeared, leaving him alone.

The black hall was several hundred square meters in size, with a hemispherical top. Beams of dreamlike light shone down from above and converged on Qin Mu.

"As expected, just like the information in the data, even if they enter the ruins at the same time, they will separate."

Qin Mu carefully observed his surroundings, silently reflecting on his thoughts.

"This dreamlike light should be the means by which martial artists and spiritual practitioners are distinguished."

It can measure brain region width, and the longer the test time, the higher the brain region width.

If it takes more than 60 seconds, then it's basically certain that the elite passage has been opened.

Qin Mu silently counted in his mind, and after more than sixty seconds, the dreamlike colorful light still did not change at all.

"It's done! When Luo Feng entered later, the dreamlike light couldn't specifically detect the breadth of his brain."

The combat watch has been hacked by the bald crystal man, the AI ​​in the base, and a new detection method, the crystal rope, will also be introduced!

This crystal rope is extremely fast and incredibly hard, making it indestructible.

The moment Qin Mu had this thought in his mind, his combat watch beeped with an alarm.

This is how the military combat watches behave when they are hacked; a piercing electronic sound also echoes in the dark hall.

"xx, xx, xx..."

The electronic voice sounded like it was broadcasting something.

As the announcement was made, finger-thick crystal ropes suddenly appeared on the ceiling of the black hall, binding Qin Mu below.

Having already anticipated this scene, Qin Mu's heart stirred. He pretended to be unaware, holding a long spear and seemingly trying to dodge, while the thirty-six short spears floating behind him began to move rapidly.

The crystal rope was extremely fast, and when Qin Mu tried to dodge it, he was easily bound tightly.

"bite--"

"bite--"

"bite--"

Short spears pierced the crystal rope, producing a metallic clang, but were easily deflected, leaving not a single mark on the crystal rope.

"As expected, this crystal rope cannot be destroyed by a planetary-level attack."

After a symbolic act of resistance, Qin Mu stopped his futile struggle.

He was not afraid of any unexpected changes to the crystal rope. If something did happen, at worst this body would perish here, and he could be reborn in any mother nest.

The swarm of insects is his source of confidence.

Beams of light passed through the crystal rope, seemingly conducting some kind of deeper detection.

A minute later, all the crystal ropes suddenly retracted back into the hall.

At the same time, an electronic voice rang out in the dark hall.

The translation software on Qin Mu's combat watch finally took effect, and a line of text appeared on the screen.

"Congratulations! Your brain span is 35, which is greater than 18. You are qualified to enter the elite channel of this trial base. This is the first time in five thousand years that the elite channel has been opened. Please wait for 15 minutes."

When Qin Mu saw this line of text, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

Although Qin Mu was confident that his brain capacity was large enough to open the elite channel, no one could be certain until things were confirmed.

"35? I wonder what level that would be in space?"

Qin Mu was curious, but no one could answer his question.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and when the time was up, the electronic voice rang out again in the dark hall.

The walls of the hall slowly cracked open, revealing a passageway.

A sentence also appeared simultaneously on the tactical watch.

"Please enter the elite channel."

Looking at the opened passage, Qin Mu felt a sense of anticipation.

"After entering this passage, there should be nine branching paths. There will always be nine branching paths each time, and a black-robed person may appear in each of the nine paths."

The men in black robes are incredibly powerful, each comparable to a peak War God, and they will attempt to kill the examinees.

After a certain amount of time has passed, the death trial mission will begin.

Knowing the plot well, Qin Mu was fully aware of what was about to happen. His face remained expressionless as he floated into the passage.

Just as Qin Mu predicted, there were indeed nine branching paths ahead after entering the passage.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he casually chose a passage and flew inside.

Knowing the plot, Qin Mu remained completely calm.

When they reached the end of the road, nine more forks appeared before them, and Qin Mu randomly chose one of them to enter.

Back and forth.

Upon entering another passage, a black-robed figure materialized in each of the nine passages in front of Qin Mu, as did in the nine passages behind him.

Nine men in black robes blocked the road at both the front and back.

These men in black robes wore silver-gray masks, revealing only a pair of green pupils filled with murderous intent.

"They've finally arrived!"

A glint flashed in Qin Mu's eyes, and he seemed eager to try.

"Come on, let me test your quality!"

Thirty-six short spears hovered behind Qin Mu, sixteen of which converged in front of him.

The sixteen short spears spun rapidly, and the tips of all the spears converged into a single point, forming a high-speed rotating cone.

"Sky-Piercing Cone!"

He started with a powerful move, showing no intention of holding back at all.

A terrifying cone-shaped attack hurtled toward a black-robed figure in front of him at ten times the speed of sound.

The man in black robes let out a beast-like roar and charged forward without fear, stretching out his hands, gloved with silver, to take Qin Mu's attack head-on.

"Sizzle—"

Sixteen high-speed spinning short spears struck the silver-gray glove, their terrifying penetrating force creating cracks in the glove.

Those silver-gray gloves were actually able to block Qin Mu's full-force attack!

Even attacks that even King-level monsters couldn't withstand couldn't tear the silver-gray glove.

Unfortunately, these silver-gray gloves, made of some unknown material, are tough.

But each of the sixteen short spears carries a force of 50 kilograms.

The combined force of the sixteen short spears exceeded 800 million kilograms, instantly slamming the black-robed man against the wall of the passage.

The moment he was thrown back, the black-robed man's chest was wide open, and the high-speed spinning cone pierced through his chest, creating a large hole, from which a large amount of liquid splattered.

The black-robed man's chest wasn't as hard as the gloves.

"roar--"

The other seventeen men in black robes roared and charged forward, trying to seize the opportunity to kill Qin Mu.

These men in black robes were extremely fast, each running at a speed of about 800 meters per second.

Unfortunately, when they tried to get close to Qin Mu, a total of 20 short spears were floating behind him. Sixteen of these spears flew out and blocked one of the black-robed men.

"clang--"

The man in black robes roared and swung his fist, which was covered in silver-gray gauntlets, slamming it into the short spear.

The short spears were either knocked away or blocked, but they did not cause any real damage to the man in black.

Clearly, a short spear alone was no match for the man in black.

But all Qin Mu wanted to do was buy himself some time.

The sixteen short spears that formed the Sky-Piercing Cone once again selected a man in black robes and shot off.

Another man in black robes was pierced.

escape?

Qin Mu never thought of escaping; he wanted to annihilate all the men in black robes!

Moments later, all eighteen men in black robes died tragically under Qin Mu's attack. The last man in black robes, in particular, was pierced by thirty short spears, leaving him like a hedgehog, a truly pitiful sight.

After all eighteen men in black robes died, their shattered corpses seemed to melt away and were slowly absorbed by the ground.

"I knew it, this thing isn't a living person."

Seeing this scene, Qin Mu thought to himself.

When all eighteen men in black robes died, beams of transparent light shot down from the sky.

These transparent streams of light formed a crystal house five meters high and eight meters long and wide, enveloping Qin Mu inside.

Qin Mu, who was trapped inside the crystal house, was not flustered at all; on the contrary, he was secretly delighted.

"After encountering the man in black robes, Luo Feng barely managed to kill one of them and then kept running for his life. It is unknown how long it took before he triggered the death test."

It turns out that killing all the men in black robes directly can trigger the death trial.

When the crystal room appeared, an electronic sound rang out again in the passageway.

A long message also appeared on Qin Mu's tactical watch.

"Elite Apprentice Qin Mu, your death-defying assessment mission has officially begun!"

"On the walls of the assessment chamber are engraved the 312 basic techniques of the master of mental control. By learning these 312 techniques, you will have the opportunity to break through this assessment chamber."

Qin Mu's eyes lit up. After working for most of the day, he had finally seen the "Basic 312 Style"!

Qin Mu came here to participate in this assessment precisely for this set of inheritances, didn't he?

In Qin Mu's view, this set of "Basic 312 Styles" is even more important than the reward for passing the assessment.

At that moment, he ignored everything else and stared intently at the intricate carvings on the walls of the crystal room. These carvings were actually a series of human figure paintings, totaling 312 paintings, each corresponding to one of the 312 poses.

Each drawing of the human body is accompanied by numerous inscriptions explaining the methods of cultivation associated with each drawing.

Qin Mu immediately began studying the first human figure drawing, not even bothering to look at the punishment for failing the assessment within three years.

He could break into the secret room right now if he wanted to.

But Qin Mu had no such idea. He had no intention of leaving until he had thoroughly mastered the "Basic 312 Styles".

With his consciousness connected to the mother nest, Qin Mu used the mother nest's enormous computing power to devote himself wholeheartedly to learning each and every picture.

Unlike the "Illustrated Catalogue of Celestial Gods," which is just a series of dry illustrations, the "Basic 312 Styles" is profound and extensive.

This is a basic cultivation method for controllers created by an immortal powerhouse from the Meteorite Star lineage. It is a precious cultivation method even in the universe, and there is no other one like it on Earth!

After completing the first human figure drawing, Qin Mu felt that his ability to control the short spear had improved significantly, and he had perfectly controlled 37 short spears!

Its effects are immediate.

Dear readers, please give me some recommendation votes! I don't have enough!
