Back in the Tower of Trials, Wendy looked at the leaderboard. His name had dropped many places, replaced by people from planets he'd never heard of, who had already reached nearly three hundred floors.

“You can’t go in now.” Wendy was stopped at the entrance of the Tower of Trials. The man had deep red skin, red horns, wore animal skin pants, and was shirtless, revealing strong muscles. At this moment, his deep red eyes were staring unblinkingly at Wendy.

"Oh? Give me a reason?" Wendy stood with her hands on her hips, looking defiantly at the person blocking her way. "Prince Genil is inside trying to pass through a trial. No one is allowed to go in, or my fists won't hold back." The person blocking her way finished speaking and even showed off his muscles.

"Heh... You think you're so great after only reaching the 200th floor? Your prince must be really terrible. In the bard's verses, a prince like that is just cannon fodder." Wendy crossed his arms, straightened his posture nonchalantly, and the person blocking his way narrowed his eyes, suddenly throwing a punch that came flying towards Wendy.

Wendy remained unmoved, simply standing there with calm eyes. The man's fist stopped in front of Wendy's head, unable to take another step. The wind blew the stray hairs on Wendy's forehead, and the small braids of her pigtails were now glowing. The man was swept high into the sky by a hurricane that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and then thrown to the ground.

"Although I'm the weakest of the seven, I guess? I'm still not someone you can mess with." Wendy's calm eyes lit up slightly. She closed her right eye, stared at the person blocking her way with her left, and put her index finger to her lips, making a "shh" gesture.

It was supposed to be a wink, but he made it sound incredibly lewd!

"Aa ...

"Wife! Wife, I'm going to kill you!"

"Wendy, Wendy, I love you! Let's be together forever!"

"Stop calling me 'wife'! Change your address! All of you, call me 'husband'!"

“I’m different! I will always be Barbatos’s most devout follower!”

"Add one!"

"Add 10086!"

The live stream chat exploded instantly. Venti tossed his cloak and stepped into the Tower of Trials. Now that his strength had been restored, it wouldn't matter if he didn't hold back, right?

"Hmph, you'll still die when Prince Genil comes out." The man who had blocked the way crawled out of the pit in a disheveled state, his eyes fierce as he stared intently at Wendy's back.

"Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, Wendy, I'll remember you."

Then, the person blocking the way watched as the floor number after Wendy's name jumped from floor 145 to floor 199, as if he had simply snapped his fingers and the monster had vanished into thin air, placing him after Ginniel.

Ginil finally finished scavenging the monsters on the 203rd floor and was about to take a break when he logged out. He was quite satisfied with his ranking, but then he found that his subordinates were looking at the leaderboard with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

"Sales, what's wrong?" Genie looked at his motionless subordinate and followed his gaze, only to find that his name had been added to his own without his knowledge: Blue Star Dragon Kingdom, Wendy.

"Your Highness, that Wendy went straight from floor 145 to floor 204! He was incredibly fast!" Seles snapped out of his daze and quickly reported to his prince.

"Wendy?" Genie looked at Wendy, who had just come out of the Tower of Trials, and then at the country Wendy belonged to on the leaderboard. He sneered, "He's just a low-life who came from some barren planet. What's there to be afraid of? He's just lucky. Hmph. We'll go and meet him when we have time."

"Your Highness is mighty!" Seles cheered.

"Let's go, don't let a bug ruin our good mood." Ginniel didn't even glance at Wendy, arrogantly leading Seles away.

“Interesting, very interesting.” On the other side, a scantily clad woman holding a fragrant fan watched Wendy with great interest. Beside her, an old woman bowed respectfully and asked, “Princess, should we bring back that Wendy for you?” “No need. He might not even be a match for you. He’s no ordinary man.” The woman snapped her fan shut, her pale pink eyes fixed on Wendy, which gradually turned deep red.

"He is protected by many forces, and he himself is also very powerful."

"Your magic eye..."

"No matter which planet your opponent comes from, you must always have a sense of awe towards them. Underestimating others may be your own downfall."

"This old servant understands."

"Let's go too." The woman swayed her hips and left the Tower of Trials. The old woman took one last look at Wendy and followed behind the woman.

Wendy was unaware of these conversations. Although the wind was his ear, he didn't always focus his attention on others. As soon as he left the Tower of Trials, Wendy saw Manyo who came to greet him.

"It seems your journey through the trials is going quite smoothly," Wan Ye said with a smile. Wendy nodded and then shook her head, saying, "It wasn't entirely smooth; I still encountered obstacles." "That's true. Storms at sea are obstacles for the fleet, just like life inevitably presents obstacles. However, you'll eventually overcome them," Wan Ye shrugged, then added, "By the way, Jiangyin has prepared a delicious meal. Shall we go back and check it out?"

"Let's go, let's go." Wendy's eyes lit up, and the wind helped him speed up. Wanye shook his head, looked at Wendy helplessly, and also used his wind elemental power to keep up with Wendy's pace.

Before even reaching the cave, they could smell the fragrant aroma. Xingqiu used his sacrificial sword to cut the meat step by step under Jiangyin's guidance, while Zhennan washed the vegetables. As for cooking, Jiangyin naturally took care of that.

While Wendy was venturing into the Tower of Trials, Zhennan and Wanye found a lot of edible things outside and also opened some treasure chests. Strangely, there were no announcements about the fate of the nation, but announcements were made when other planets and countries opened treasure chests.

"Sigh." Xingqiu looked at his sword with heartache, then glanced at Jiangyin, who was busy as a bee, and sighed softly. "It would be better to wield a sword and fight for justice. At the very least, going out for a walk is always good." Xingqiu squatted on the ground, puffing out his cheeks and drawing circles.

"Xingqiu, the dishes are ready, come and help." Jiangyin called out, and Xingqiu resignedly stood up to help Jiangyin serve the dishes.

The small cave was divided into several areas: a living area, a kitchen, and a dining area, separated only by an iron plate. The space was not large, but it was quite cozy.

"Wow, it smells so good!" As soon as Wendy returned to the cave, she was drawn to the food. Xingqiu, watching Wendy's expression, sat on the wooden chair and shook his head. He thought it was better to read a novel than to look at Wendy!

(By the way, I'm taking a break from updating on September 8th, and will update again on September 10th. I'm exhausted from running around these past few days!)
