Chapter 633: That's why I failed this stage



After Kyle completed the first stage of the trial ground, a door opened behind them. The trio entered and found themselves in another chamber, but this time, they faced only one marble statue as their opponent, which held the transcendent rank.

"Hmm? That's it?"

Kyle looked around for more challenges, but it seemed there were none.

Asher chuckled at his words. When he entered this trial ground in the past, it was difficult for him to clear this round because he was weak at that time. That's why he couldn't advance past the third stage.

"Don't get too confident. It's not easy for those who have entered this tomb to face so many divine-rank statues and then immediately confront a transcendent rank one. You are the exception here."

Kyle shot him a glance. He wasn't feeling overconfident. He simply wanted a bigger challenge because he needed to boost his physique and strength, which are currently at the final stage of the transcendent rank, to reach the supreme rank.

Putting his body under intense pressure was crucial to achieving this goal.

'I guess I need to battle the supreme rank undeads to make it happen because the trial ground is not helping me much.'

He approached the statue emanating the power of the transcendent rank, and as the statue raised its weapons, he lifted his fist and used his strength to shatter it.

A superior physique and strength make someone more powerful compared to others at the same rank.

In the end, not many can improve their physique and strength, even as they advance through their true rank.

Kyle's situation was different, though. His strength and physique were above his true rank because he spent years in a place that lacked mana and divine energy.

Once the transcendent rank statue was defeated, another door opened up before the phoenix and the two men. However, before they could step through the door, a few screams echoed out from it. Kyle's ear twitched as one of the voices among the others sounded somewhat familiar.

'Hmm?'

He was distracted when Asher swiftly headed towards the door.

"Kyle... This old man needs some help. Come, assist me."

Zron asked with a pleading tone. He had not even taken the belongings of the three

individuals with him. How could he possibly admit defeat?

Asher glanced at Kyle.

"You know him?"

Kyle wanted to shake his head in denial but held back the urge.

"Kind of. Let's just clear the trial ground."

He entered the platform with Bia. The moment they stepped onto the platform, one of the rock creatures attacked them. Asher stayed outside the platform and asked Kyle and Bia.

"Need a hand? Or not?"

The other three peeps on the platform immediately recognized Kyle. They were shocked, but all their thoughts disappeared as Kyle raised his fist and struck the rock creature that had attacked him and Bia. A thunderous boom echoed on the platform as the creature skidded backward, nearly falling off the platform but managing to regain balance just in time. Kyle

clenched his fists and confidently stated.

"No, really. I can handle them myself."

Suddenly, as he moved towards another rock creature, Bia halted him.

-"Hey, leave one for me. I want to test my strength too. I reached the transcendent rank just

recently. I need some practice."

Kyle pointed towards the rock creature fighting the two elves and demi-human.

"Go, that's your prey."
