A loud sound came from before his eyes. Chen Heng subconsciously raised his head and saw a huge tiger pouncing toward him.

The tiger was more than three meters tall just by looking at its body size. Its strength was extremely powerful, and its movements were exceptionally agile.

If it were the usual Chen Heng, this fierce tiger would naturally not be a threat to him. After all, with his strength, even if he stood there and let the tiger bite him, the tiger might not be able to break through his defense.

However, at this moment, Chen Heng had returned to his original state, and the level of strength in his body was only the level of an ordinary person.

His body was unprecedentedly weak, yet the beast in front of him was so fierce and powerful. He felt a terrifying pressure as if he could already predict the outcome.

Chen Heng turned around and threw a punch. The fierce tiger directly pounced on his body with a light bang, and blood started dripping. His body was bitten into pieces, like a pile of minced meat, looking extremely miserable. But even so, he was still swinging his fist.

His flesh and blood quickly turned into white bones, and his entire body was bitten off and swallowed by the fierce tiger. In the end, only his skeleton was left, still trying to move forward, calmly and steadily. The will to charge ahead never decreased.

Tang Rou was shocked looking at this scene, didn't know how to describe her feelings.

'So there is such a person in this world…' This thought inexplicably flashed through her mind as she watched Chen Heng's trial and could not help but sigh in her heart. She had an inexplicable feeling.

'If there were someone who could pass the trial, then the youth in front of her would be able to.' Tang Rou thought and could not help but sigh.

The trial in front of her continued. When the tiger swallowed the last piece of the skeleton, everything on the spot disappeared.

Chen Heng regained his original appearance and stood on the spot. His body still looked the same as before, and there seemed to be no changes. It was as if everything that happened just now was an illusion, seemed exceptionally unique. Even the clothes on his body were not damaged, looking very magical.

However, Chen Heng was not surprised and silently looked in front. The fierce tiger had already disappeared and was replaced by a brand new figure.

It was a brand new beast. Just its body alone was five to six meters long. Overall, the oppressiveness was even stronger than the fierce tiger from before.

Chen Heng's expression was calm as he quietly moved forward. Then, he encountered many powerful creatures, including bloody, crazy-looking murderers, ferocious beasts so powerful that they could not be fought against, and even powerful creatures from myths and legends.

All kinds of terrifying creatures appeared one by one and came before Chen Heng. But even so, Chen Heng's performance had never changed. No matter who he faced, he chose to move forward and never retreat, not even the slightest hesitation in his heart.

This was the faith that had was honed through many worlds. After experiencing so many things, Chen Heng had changed a lot to a certain extent. But on the other hand, there were some things that he had never changed. The more incidents he had experienced, the more determined he was for specific things, which was the case now.

When the scene changed for the ninth time, everything at this moment had disappeared entirely. A golden door appeared before him, representing the entrance to the next stage.

Chen Heng did not hesitate, and straightaway took a step forward. There was a huge stone palace, and he was standing right in front of the gate.

Chen Heng was a little stunned, and he looked around. It was different from what he had imagined. After passing through the previous juncture, the next juncture has yet to appear. He did not know what was happening.

'Has it ended? Or…' Chen Heng thought.

A crisp sound was heard, and the door of the stone palace opened, revealing the scene inside.

Chen Heng looked inside the stone palace and saw many stone statues there. Each of them was lifelike as if they were real people. These statues seemed to be statues of heroes.

'Past heroes?' Chen Heng thought as he walked in.

Chen Heng's figure had already disappeared under Tang Rou's gaze. The spectator mode seemed to have ended.

'What's going on?' Looking at the scene, Tang Rou was a little surprised, and she didn't know what had happened. 'Why is it ending now? Aren't there still a few levels left?' She couldn't help but think.

"The real goal isn't to pass the trial, but to test a person's performance and determine if a challenger has the right to inherit the Hero Armor."

In her ear, a gentle voice sounded, explaining to Tang Rou, "Of course, under normal circumstances, a challenger needs to pass all the trials before they can walk before the Hero Armor and sense it. However, there's one exception. If the Hero Armor voluntarily acknowledges the challenger's will, then there is no need for trials."

In general, the primary purpose of this trial was to select a suitable owner for the previous Hero Armor. Under normal circumstances, this sort of selection would generally go through the normal process and undergo many trials before they could walk to the location of the Hero Armor and try it out.

However, if the Hero Armor had already acknowledged the challenger, this process would deem unnecessary.

'So that's how it is.' Tang Rou finally understood, 'In other words, he has already acknowledged by the Hero Armor…'

She couldn't help but be stunned at first, and then she recalled Chen Heng's performance just now. He calmly walked through the danger, calmly bitten by mosquitoes and insects, charging forward without any hesitation…

'Such a person was probably the most suitable candidate for the Hero Armor.' She thought and couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

She was sincerely convinced, and the unwillingness in her heart quickly disappeared.

Suddenly, a strange sound was heard once again. Then, another scene appeared in front of Tang Rou. That was the scene from the beginning of the trial.

However, the figure of a girl appeared. She didn't look old, probably around fifteen or sixteen years old. She wore a long gown, and her appearance was quite exquisite. Beside her, there was a white puppy.

'Is the trial starting again?' Tang Rou stared at the scene and was stunned for a while before she reacted.

Time had passed. Someone else should have entered and participated in this trial, which was why she could see the scene. She was pretty surprised but didn't pay too much attention to it. She also didn't think that the girl in front of her would pass the trial like Chen Heng.

After all, Tang Rou truly felt that ordinary people wouldn't pass the trial based on the situation. Most likely, they would be eliminated after the first trial.

The girl didn't look too old, and she looked very ordinary. Tang Rou didn't believe that she had such strong willpower.

In reality, that was indeed the case. The girl began to walk down the path paved with knives. Compared to Tang Rou's previous performance, the girl's performance was much better, as she managed to walk quite a distance. But she still stopped and had no way to continue forward in the end.

'So it ends here…' Looking at the scene, Tang Rou sighed. She didn't pay too much attention to it.

'Will I end here?' In the empty space, Lu Yao fell weakly to the ground. Her face was as pale as paper didn't seem to have the slightest bit of color. Intent pain was spreading across her body, which was somewhat unbearable for her. She had already reached her limit, and she couldn't continue walking.

In reality, if it were not for the Golden Mark on her body that continued to persist, and she was more or less affected by the power from the Golden King, it would still be an impossible thing for her even if she had reached this point.

"My King, your will is still not strong enough." Behind her, Ye Zi looked at Lu Yao's performance and could not help but sigh in disappointment.

However, even though she was disappointed, she knew it was too embarrassing to count on Lu Yao to pass the trial. If she was a former Golden King, passing the trial was naturally not a problem and would even be easy for her.

All kings have a firm will and will never waver. A mere pain and danger wouldn't affect such a person's mind.

However, Lu Yao was different. Although she had the Golden Mark and was a reincarnation of a former Golden King, to a certain extent, she wasn't a former Golden King. Currently, she was just a little girl who was not even an adult yet. It was unrealistic to expect her to pass this trial.

Fortunately, she had already made a record of it.

"It's alright, My King." After failing the trial, Ye Zi walked to Lu Yao's side and looked at the dejected Lu Yao.

I've been setting up this place earlier on. Now, I have some results. The trial here was set up perfectly by the ancient civilization on this planet. Even if a general came, he wouldn't be able to destroy it. It's just that now, after such a long time, the setting up here has been damaged, and there are more or less some loopholes."

Ye Zi looked at Lu Yao and said, "I can make some targeted arrangements to bypass these trials and find a path that leads directly to the Ancient Armor. In that case, we can skip the trials and go directly to look for the Ancient Armor."

Hearing Ye Zi's words, Lu Yao was instantly stunned and could not help but hesitate. "Isn't this cheating?"

Not passing the trials and directly obtaining the armor would also mean not going through the formal assessment process and straightaway taking away the prize of the competition. It was an apparent act of cheating. Lu Yao more or less rejected this kind of behavior. However, she also knew how vital her action was this time.

After Ye Zi's teachings, she understood how precious the Ancient Armor was. Perhaps to the former Golden King, a mere ordinary Ancient Armor was nothing at all.

However, to Lu Yao, who was now penniless, she might not be able to do it again if she missed this chance to obtain an Ancient Armor.
