Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

Chapter 173 Trial Realm (2)

At this moment, the Demon Lord also laughed: "I knew this little guy was cautious. But it's good, he's on the path to becoming a dragon, being careful is the only way to avoid making mistakes. I have a feeling that he might actually become a dragon?"

The fox spirit looked at the demon lord with suspicion, not expecting him to give such a high evaluation to a little snake demon: "It's rare that you can think so highly of a little snake demon, but transforming into a dragon is too difficult. You should know that you are still just one step away from the lowest level of dragon. You can't get in no matter what. You've been stuck as a four-clawed dragon for so many years."

Few people know that this Venerable One of the Demon Clan is actually a four-clawed dragon, with the bloodline of a superior-grade exotic beast. The next step would be to become a low-grade divine beast, a divine dragon. However, this step is too difficult, and for so many years, he has not seen even the slightest hope.

"Let's leave it to fate. Let's see if there's any hope in this trip to another world. There's no way for me to advance in our Qingyun Realm, so we can only pin our hopes on the other world. Once I become a dragon god, the fate of humanity will no longer be a threat to me. At that time, it will be much easier for us to suppress the human race. Forget it, let's not talk about it for now and continue to look at the secret realm."

The fox spirit had no intention of watching the show: "What's there to watch? This little snake has a red weapon and is still so cautious. His first place is practically a foregone conclusion. I'd like to see what he can gain in the Dragon Gate. Judging from his bloodline, he's a mid-grade spirit beast, so he should be able to advance once. However, he's still a long way from becoming a rare beast."

The Demon Lord agreed with this view: "Yes, when it comes to bloodline, that Ink Scale Demon General is still superior. Maybe he can become a beast. However, his cultivation is a bit low, but it doesn't matter. With the bloodline of a beast, even breathing will enhance his magic power. He will catch up soon. Let's continue to watch."

Gu Yuchuan remained hidden until the fourth day, still the undisputed God of War. At this time, there were only three cultivators left in the entire secret realm. The secret realm had shrunk to a radius of only one thousand meters. The three of them stood in the air, forming a tripod.

The other two are the Heavenly Eagle Demon General and the Heavenly Python Demon General, both cultivators at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. They even possess golden weapons; otherwise, they wouldn't have survived until now. Logically speaking, if they were to join forces and kill Gu Yuchuan first, they might still have a chance to compete for first place.

But they didn't. In fact, the animosity between them was even stronger than that between Gu Yuchuan and the others. They had a deep-seated hatred for each other, even a life-or-death feud. When the Heavenly Python Demon General was young, his mother was killed by the Heavenly Eagle Demon General. So, even under these circumstances, they would not unite.

They started fighting right in front of Gu Yuchuan, which actually left Gu Yuchuan a little dumbfounded. What was going on? Did they look down on him that much? Even if they joined forces, they might not be able to beat him, yet they dared to do this.

However, he was pleased with the scene before him, and he even found a place to sit down.

These two demon generals were also among the best of the Foundation Establishment stage, and were even mid-grade spirit beasts with golden weapons. Every attack they launched had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. Gu Yuchuan was very excited watching them. If they were outside, he would have had a very difficult time fighting either of them.

They fought for an hour, both of them were injured, but they continued to fight. Clearly, the hatred between them had surpassed their desire for ranking in the secret realm.

After watching for so long, Gu Yuchuan also felt it was meaningless. He summoned the demonic dragon, and the two of them stopped moving. Under the attack of the Golden Core stage demonic dragon, they quickly died without any chance of survival.

"Congratulations to the contestant Azure Scale Demon King for winning first place. The Trial Realm has ended."

The space in front of him began to shatter, and everyone reappeared in the Cloud Sea Heavenly Palace. A light screen appeared in front of them, displaying their rankings. Gu Yuchuan was far ahead, followed by the Heavenly Python Demon General and the Heavenly Eagle Demon General. Just as he had seen in the simulation, the Ink Scale Demon General ranked second in the overall ranking and had also entered the Dragon Gate Trial. The two brothers had passed the trial together.

The Demon Lord appeared before them, and the noisy sounds immediately vanished without a trace.

"This trial is over. I am generally satisfied with your performance and have seen some promising talents. Those who did not achieve good results should not be too discouraged. There will be opportunities in the future. Alright, the twelve who made the list, stay. The rest of you, go back. Remember, everything in this secret realm is illusory, including hatred. You are just competing for opportunities. Do not take the hatred from here out."

Everyone agreed, but there were bound to be some who couldn't do it. Take Gu Yuchuan for example, that couple definitely had a grudge against each other.

After they left, the place became much quieter, and the Demon Lord's expression softened.

"You are all outstanding individuals at the Demon General level. I hope you will continue to cultivate diligently in the future, advance to the Golden Core stage as soon as possible, and become pillars of my demon race. What I just said is not a lie. There are many opportunities recently. If you can seize them, reaching the Nascent Soul stage is not impossible. I hope you can succeed. Keep up the good work."

After this burst of enthusiasm, everyone was incredibly excited, with some even fantasizing about becoming a Nascent Soul Demon Emperor. However, Gu Yuchuan knew that even if he seized every opportunity, the Nascent Soul stage was still a very distant prospect. What he needed to focus on now was, first, advancing his bloodline, and second, becoming a Golden Core cultivator. Everything else could wait.

"You all rest well here. Tomorrow morning, you'll go jump over the Dragon Gate."

After saying that, the Demon Lord left. After he left, everyone was obviously much more relaxed, and Gu Yuchuan also walked together with the Ink Scale Demon General.

"I feel much more at ease now that my second brother has come in. If he loses this opportunity because of me, I would be guilty of a terrible crime."

The Demon General Molin waved his hand and said, "My cultivation level is low. In fact, at that time, I didn't have any ability to fight anymore. Helping you was just me contributing my remaining strength. As for you, if it weren't for you saving me, I wouldn't have even made it to the third day. Besides, it's too formal for us brothers to keep saying thank you."

Gu Yuchuan himself felt the same way.

Aside from the Heavenly Python Demon General and the Heavenly Eagle Demon General, these people seemed to have no barriers between them at this moment. Everyone understood that after tomorrow, there would be a gap between them and the geniuses below. They were now in the same class, so why should their relationship be so stiff?
