Chapter 396: An Empress needs to dominate Part1

"Damn it. This is the fifth time already." Tang Yue chewed and spat out her nails as she paced back and forth in the empty palace.

She was still stuck at the second trial and hadn't been able to progress beyond that. The five pillars really had her in a bind that she was unable to break free from.

"Hmmm So each pillar emits an elemental essence apart from the violent and oppressive aura and pressure."

"The five different pillars represent the five elements of nature and I have to attain the blessings of the five pillars."

"Arghh What am I missing?" Tang Yue kicked the wall in anger.

She had tried everything by now and both her condensed mana seeds were perfectly attuned to two pillars out of the five pillars, but still, she was unable to progress further and was kicked out every single time.

"What am I missing?" Tang Yue was really at the end of her wits.

If she attained a perfect connection with two pillars and was still unable to get through, then it could only mean that it had something to do with the other pillars.

But this was also Tang Yue's biggest problem as she didn't even possess an affinity to the other pillars.

So she would never be able to form a connection with them and so she was unable to test out how to successfully pass this trial.

But at this point, she really did not have any other choice except to go all in.

"Old man, I am going to gain affinity to all the elementals." Tang Yue muttered solemnly.

"Are you sure, little snake? I should warn you. Your path ahead will be that much more immensely difficult."

"Yes. I am sure." Tang Yue nodded. This was why she had also hesitated for so long, but now it looked like she did not have any other options.

Tang Yue took a deep breath and rummaged her spatial ring, taking out a bunch of greenish thin sticks. But if one looked closely, these sticks had some amount of meat attached to it.

"Slimy Green Mantis, a high-grade beast with a decent affinity to the wind elemental. Hmm This will do." Twisting her lips at the spiky thin sticks, Tang Yue took out a few more broken parts, bundling up meat belonging to several mantis beasts.

Since she had looted everything that the dragon had amassed, she now had no shortage in whatever beast meat she needed.

Tang Yue pulled up her status screen and looked at the list of her skills again.

[Lesser Evolution] - Passive skill, Able to constantly improve and upgrade the body by absorbing bloodlines; Only 50% bloodline is required for triggering evolution.

[Bloodline Gorger] - Passive skill, Able to absorb bloodlines from meat very efficiently.

[Higher Earth affinity] - Passive skill; Able to manipulate mana into high-grade earth.

[Higher fire affinity] - Passive skill, Able to manipulate mana into high-grade fire.

[Higher Wind affinity] - Passive skill; Able to manipulate mana into high-grade wind.

[Lesser Ice affinity] - Passive skill, Able to manipulate mana into low-grade ice.

[Greater Illusion Magic] - Passive skill; Able to cast illusionary spells; Able to cast spells ignoring the cultivation base of the target up to two realms.

"Eh? Everything is high-grade except for ice elemental?" Tang Yue rubbed her chin, not satisfied with the results just yet.

Though she had managed to gain affinities to all elementals, the fact that one was weaker than all the others itched her brain.

"On second thought let me eat some more beasts before entering the trail"

While it was almost impossible for others to gain an elemental affinity that they were not born with, in the span of a single day, Tang Yue had almost managed to perfectly attune her body to all the elementals.

The old man could only bitterly smile as he watched the snake rummage her spatial ring once again.

Even though he had warned her against it, she still stubbornly picked this arduous path.

Will she really be able to pass the trials using this method? He sighed in deep thought.
