The eagle led Lu Zhaoming through the dilapidated wooden house to a hidden entrance at the back of the house.
The wooden door creaked open, revealing a dark passage filled with cobwebs and dust, looking as if it hadn't been entered in a long time.
"Kid, come with me." As soon as the eagle finished speaking, he disappeared into the depths of the passage like a gust of wind.
Lu Zhaoming followed closely behind, secretly calculating in his mind: This old man must have hidden a lot of good things. I will not stop until I have squeezed every last drop of value out of him.
The passage wound its way through the tunnel until it finally led to an abandoned mine.
The mine was dark and damp, and the moss on the walls shimmered with an eerie green light under the dim lamplight.
The eagle stood in the center of the mine, its gaze as sharp as a knife.
“Here, you will undergo a trial.” The eagle’s voice was deep and magnetic. “Your task is to find and destroy the hidden target within a limited time. Remember, this is not just a contest of physical strength and intelligence, but also a test of your ability to control your supernatural powers.”
Lu Zhaoming nodded, secretly excited.
I finally have the opportunity to further improve my skills!
He activated the "Eye of Judgment," attempting to use his supernatural abilities to sense targets within the mine.
However, when he tried to concentrate, hallucinations kept appearing in his vision, and the world in front of him became blurry, as if an invisible force was interfering with his perception.
"If you can't control your own power, you'll only be devoured by it," the eagle said coldly, with a hint of disdain in its tone.
Lu Zhaoming felt a chill run down his spine. He suppressed his agitation and tried to calm himself down.
He took several deep breaths, trying to banish the hallucinations from his mind.
Finally, amidst the chaos of his senses, he found a clue: a faint fluctuation of supernatural power, hidden deep within the mine.
Just then, a piercing metallic clanging sound suddenly came from the entrance of the mine, followed by Leng Feng's cold voice: "Lu Zhaoming, you can't escape!"
Lu Zhaoming's heart sank; he hadn't expected Leng Feng to catch up with him so quickly.
He quickly scanned his surroundings, looking for terrain he could use.
The mine has a complex internal structure with many narrow passages and hidden corners that can be used for cover and counterattack.
"Eagle, something terrible has happened!" Lu Zhaoming said urgently, his eyes sweeping towards the eagle.
However, to his surprise, the eagle stood still, a cold smile playing on its lips.
"Kid, the real test has begun. Survive on your own and prove it to me." As soon as the eagle finished speaking, it disappeared into a corner of the mine, as if it had never existed.
Lu Zhaoming gritted his teeth and quickly adjusted his tactics.
He cleverly used the terrain of the mine to evade Leng Feng's first wave of attacks.
At the same time, he used his supernatural abilities to perceive the layout of the mine and set up traps in some key locations in advance.
Leng Feng and his team pressed on relentlessly, but they were unable to track down Lu Zhaoming.
Just as Lu Zhaoming was preparing to counterattack, he suddenly heard Leng Feng shout, "Qinglian, cover me!"
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light from a support-type ability emanated from Qinglian's hand, enveloping Leng Feng and the others in a protective shield.
Lu Zhaoming's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this was an excellent opportunity to counterattack.
He quickly adjusted his angle and detonated the pre-set trap. The huge explosion echoed through the mine, and smoke and dust filled the air, instantly enveloping Leng Feng and the others.
"Leng Feng, take this!" Lu Zhaoming's voice echoed in the mine. He used the smoke as cover and quickly approached Qinglian.
In order to protect Leng Feng, Qinglian had no choice but to appear in Lu Zhaoming's sight, and her beautiful face showed a hint of panic.
Lu Zhaoming seized the opportunity and threw a punch, sending Qinglian flying.
Although Qinglian was not injured, at this moment, she looked up at Lu Zhaoming with a complicated expression.
"You are just experimental subjects, why should you risk your lives for the white-robed ones?" Lu Zhaoming's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it had an irresistible attraction.
Qinglian remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded, choosing to avoid the situation for the time being.
Her resolve had wavered, and she began to re-examine her stance.
Seeing this, Leng Feng's face turned ashen, but he knew that this was not the time for a stalemate, so he could only lead his team to retreat quickly and temporarily leave the mine.
"Good lad, worthy of being the Doomsday Judge." Eagle's voice suddenly came from not far away. He stepped out of the darkness with a satisfied smile on his face.
Lu Zhaoming breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Eagle."
Eagle nodded, his expression turning serious: "Superpowers aren't necessarily better the stronger they are; the key is balance. You've already proven your potential. Next, I'll teach you how to stabilize the output of the mental interference module."
Lu Zhaoming listened attentively and gradually mastered the skills taught by the eagle.
He closed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations of his supernatural power within his body, and gradually found a balance point to control it.
A notification suddenly popped up on the system interface: The conditions for unlocking Judgment Storm II have been met. You need to fuse your special ability with the Eye of Judgment.
Lu Zhaoming felt a surge of excitement and was about to continue his cultivation when the system's warning suddenly sounded...
[To be continued]
Just as Lu Zhaoming was preparing to further his cultivation, a warning suddenly popped up on the system interface: The system's warning sound was like a death knell, so sharp it could pierce into one's bones!
Just as Lu Zhaoming was preparing to further his cultivation, fantasizing about mastering his divine skills, crushing the heroes of the wasteland, and marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman... no, rather, leading the survivors to the pinnacle of life, his "thoughtful" system interface suddenly popped up with a blood-red pop-up window, almost blinding his titanium alloy dog eyes: "Warning! New tracking signal detected, target locked!" These words, so red they were almost purple, made Lu Zhaoming's eyelids twitch wildly, and he felt incredibly "careless"!
