Everyone looked at Huang Xie with a complicated look after he said this.
That was because...the spirit beast that he was currently holding was a beast in the Mid Qi Condensing Realm.
The last eight waves had been completely filled with spirit beasts in the Qi Condensing Realm and the one that had done most of the work was Huang Xie. Every wave, he just seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
It was as if there was no limit to just how strong Huang Xie could become with how his power grew.
That made them even more curious as to what kind of physique he had.
There wasn't a single one of them who was envious since they knew that this power would be used for the benefit of the Love Sect in the future.
However, that didn't mean that the others behind the defensive wall felt the same.
Instead of fighting, they had just been watching the entire time.
It was simple because they couldn't help at all.
When they tried, the only thing that happened was that they had gotten in the way and there were some of them that died. So since that happened, they didn't dare come out and help.
They had turned into cheerleaders who watched as the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group fought.
Not that Huang Xie minded since he had also been hurt because of their interference before, so he wanted them to stay out of his way.
Once he confirmed that everyone was ready, Huang Xie stomped down on the head of the spirit beast that he was restraining. There was almost a relieved look that was on the face of the spirit beast as its head was being stomped in.
This time, the door didn't open right away when the spirit beast was killed.
Rather, there was a timer that suddenly came from the statue.
Ten minutes, that was the time that they were given to prepare their defenses.
The fact that they were given time to prepare their defenses meant that...there was something bad that was about to happen.
The fact that they were given time to prepare their defenses meant that the spirit beast that was about to appear should be much stronger than any that they had faced.
This fact sunk deep into everyone's mind and they were filled with fear.
At the same time, all of them turned to look at Huang Xie as if they were waiting for him to give his orders.
At this point, they realized that if it wasn't for Huang Xie, there was no way that they would be able to make it through this final wave. After all, they couldn't even make it through the first of the nine waves if it wasn't for him.
He was the one that had taken care of the spirit beasts all on his own, so he was the one that they would have to depend on to finish off this last wave.
Huang Xie slightly knitted his brows as he realized the same thing as everyone else, but it didn't seem like he was worried.
With his brows knitted like this, Huang Xie looked around the room as if he was trying to figure out what his plan was. Huang Xie seemed like he was confident that he would be able to fight whatever was about to come, but it seemed like he needed to make some preparations first.
There were looks of shock that appeared on their faces before some of them turned around and headed back to the defensive wall. However, there were some that looked at Huang Xie with strange looks before they continued helping these people.
While they didn't have to do this since Huang Xie didn't hold their soul fragments captive, they were choosing to do this out of their own free will.
They had their own pride after all and hiding behind the defensive wall was not something that they were content with doing. They wanted to be in control of their own destiny instead of leaving their destiny in the hands of others.
The ones that went back were those that were too cowardly to do anything.
They wanted to leave everything in the hands of Huang Xie while they benefited from his hard work.
Huang Xie was too lazy to care about them since they wouldn't pose a threat to him even after this trial was over. He was more focused on the layout of the room since that was part of his plan.
The others from the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group were also doing their own things around the room, but Xiao Ming came over to where Huang Xie was.
She looked at him with slightly knitted brows before asking, "How confident are you?"
Huang Xie was surprised to hear this as it pulled him out of his thoughts.
If it was anyone else, he might have ignored them, but he couldn't for Xiao Ming who was his senior sister.
He looked at her with a serious look for a bit before saying with a sigh, "50%."
He didn't sugar coat it for her since there were too many variables that he couldn't predict.
Xiao Ming wasn't surprised when she heard this, rather she just said with a smile, "That's higher than I thought."
Huang Xie was surprised before suddenly giving a chuckle. .net
Xiao Ming patted Huang Xie on the shoulder before saying, "Don't stress yourself out, no one blames you if this fails. You've been doing all of this on your own, but you can rely on your senior sister when it comes down to it."
Huang Xie was once again surprised when he heard this.
Without knowing it, he had been carrying on as if he had to do everything.
Though that was only because it had mainly been him doing everything until now.
It was just how it turned out and he had unconsciously started to think that he had to do it himself.
It wasn't him being disdainful of the others from the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect, rather it was him trying to do his best for them since he wanted all of them to pass this trial together.
But that had resulted in him slowly pushing them away...
Huang Xie took a deep breath before saying, "I'm sorry for getting too cocky. I'll reflect on it now."
Xiao Ming just patted him on the shoulder with a smile before saying, "As long as you know."
The two of them just looked at each other with a smile before heading off to do what they needed to do.
