When “God” Decides To Start Over

Chapter 10: Speed Trial

Translator: CKtalon

“Why do we have to attempt the trials after completing our contract? Why don’t you go yourself?” A middle-aged man was the most agitated as he shouted at Old Gu.

“Good question. This concerns the lives of all of us. Of course, we can’t just let you take the risk. Apart from these two Demon Suiters, the 42 administrators, including myself, will be split into three groups. We will take turns attempting the trials with you. The remaining two groups will be in charge of maintaining order and monitoring the situation at the tunnel.” Old Gu glanced at the middle-aged man and continued, “For the sake of everyone’s safety, we have to obtain as many Demon Cores as possible.”

“Do it yourself. I’m still short of a Demon Core to fulfill my end of the bargain. After I’m done, I refuse to attempt the trials,” the middle-aged man shouted.

BANG!

Just as he said that, a Demon Suiter appeared in front of him like a phantom. His head exploded before he could react.

The body failed to react either. After the head exploded, the headless body stood there for a while before slowly collapsing backward.

“This is an emergency. Anyone who tries to hold us back and affect everyone’s survival will end up like this.” Old Gu scanned the crowd coldly. Many people lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.

“I won’t let everyone work for nothing. After the crisis is resolved, you will be rewarded twice the market price for the excess Demon Cores when you leave,” Old Gu said slowly when he saw that no one was stirring up trouble.

Seeing that many people were tempted, Li Xiu thought to himself, Old Gu is only the administrator of a base, but his management abilities are amazing. I wonder what they are up to?

Having the administrators join the trial-takers looked like they had increased the number of people, but in fact, they increased the difficulty.

Most of these administrators had entered the Trial Gate to strengthen themselves. Their abilities were definitely stronger than ordinary people.

If it was a PvP trial between trial-takers, the chances of ordinary people dying increased.

Many trial-takers understood this principle, but with the Demon Suiter standing by the side, no one dared to say anything.

Under Old Gu’s command, the gate to the Sea and Sky Trials opened again.

Under the threat of the guns, Li Xiu and company had no choice but to rush into the Trial Gate again. At the same time, fourteen administrators entered the Trial Gate together.

“Ah! Another C-class trial!” Someone immediately complained when they saw the “C” symbol on the screen.

The chances of a C-class trial appearing were relatively low. Most of them were E-class and D-class trials. That way, the mortality rate would be much lower.

Li Xiu realized that the trial grounds this time were very different from the last time.

Although it was also a stadium-like building, they didn’t appear in the stands this time. Everyone was in the arena.

Inside the trial grounds was an oval-shaped track. Nearly a hundred people were assigned to different starting points. It was very similar to track and field competitions.

Beyond the starting line was an invisible barrier that blocked everyone’s path.

Speed trial? Li Xiu was somewhat depressed.

No matter how strong his talent was, it couldn’t increase his speed. That was a manifestation of his physique. Although technique played a part, the key was still his physique.

Such a trial wasn’t too conducive to Li Xiu.

“Welcome to the Sea and Sky Trials. The trial difficulty is Level C. The rules of the trial are as follows…” The cold and heartless voice sounded again.

When they saw the rules, some people were excited, while others broke down and cried.

As expected, this was a track-and-field-type trial. One lap of the track was 800 meters, longer than the typical track.

The rules of the trial were that after completing one round, trial-takers who didn’t take more than a minute and a half would gain one point. Those who exceeded two minutes would be considered to have failed the trial if they were ranked within the bottom thirty. Those who didn’t fall into the bottom thirty would also be considered to have completed the trial. They could also gain one point and obtain a Demon Core as a reward.

The 600-second countdown began. When the countdown ended, the trial would begin.

Li Xiu glanced at his bracelet. The number on it was 57.

This meant that his ranking was 57th among these people. After carefully counting, there were a total of 92 people.

In other words, there were 35 people whose physiques were inferior to Li Xiu’s. He likely wouldn’t fall into the bottom 30 for this trial.

As for completing the trial in one and a half minutes, it was impossible for ordinary people to do so.

In the past, the record holder of the 800-meter world record couldn’t even break 90 seconds. Furthermore, it came nowhere close. Only trial-takers who had been strengthened many times could obtain such results.

Among the people participating in the trial, it was probably impossible for more than half of them to hit the 90-second mark. They could only try their best not to be in the last thirty.

Li Xiu also realized the importance of physique in the trials, but no one expected two consecutive C-class trials to happen.

Before coming to the Abyss Base, Li Xiu had already learned about this place. The Sea and Sky Trials were mostly Class E and D trials. The difficulty wasn’t too high, and there were basically no trials that guaranteed death. As long as one’s physique reached the level of a professional athlete, the chances of passing the test were very high.

He hadn’t expected two consecutive C-level tests, but he wasn’t completely unprepared.

“Which one of you killed Wrow?” An administrator walked to Li Xiu and Bandit and stared at them.

Just as Li Xiu was about to say something, Bandit stared at the administrator and asked, “What do you want?”

“I brought Wrow in. He’s my friend. I have to give his parents an explanation. No matter who killed him, they have to pay the price,” the administrator said with a sullen expression.

The others retreated to the side, leaving only the administrator, Li Xiu, and Bandit.

“You have to accept your fate if you lose in a trial,” Bandit said.

“Does that mean you killed him?” The administrator stared intently at Bandit as killing intent surfaced in his eyes.

“So what if I did? So what if I didn’t?” To Li Xiu’s surprise, Bandit didn’t deny it and said ambiguously.

“It’s good that you admit it.” The administrator nodded and said, “You’re right. When it comes to trials, you have to accept your fate if you lose.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you, but I’ll break one of your legs. I hope you can win the trial,” the administrator said as he approached Bandit. At the same time, he raised his fists one after another. His footsteps were steady and rhythmic.

“This matter has nothing to do with her. Wrow died because he lost to me,” Li Xiu said as he stood forward. He didn’t want to implicate others, nor did he want to seek shelter from a woman.

From the administrator’s stance, one could tell that he was proficient in combat. His strength and speed were probably not inferior to Bandit’s.

“Who did it?” The administrator looked at Bandit.

“What do you think?” Bandit asked.

“I heard that his ranking was 49 back then. With that physique, it’s unlikely he could defeat Wrow. However, it doesn’t matter. It won’t take much effort to break another leg.” The administrator didn’t want to waste time. He wanted to break Bandit and Li Xiu’s legs before the trial began.
