A seventeen-meter-long whale appeared on the field, definitely a match for Yun Feibai’s Mosasaurus.
Su Luo thought to herself, if nothing unexpected happened, this should be the famous Melville Whale.
Why say that?
Because during the period when the Giant Megalodon was alive, it had no natural enemies—only the Melville Whale, also a top predator, could rival it. Â
According to the Trial Tower’s usual style, it would definitely release this one ocean creature capable of matching the Giant Megalodon to fight against it.
Now, why was Su Luo so knowledgeable about these marine animals?
That went back to her love of learning and her curious nature.
Su Luo had initially liked jellyfish, so she started researching them. Â
Because she liked jellyfish, she naturally didn’t want anyone to harm them.
So she searched for the natural enemies of jellyfish, then she looked up the enemies of the leatherback turtle, which preyed on jellyfish.
Next, she searched for the enemies of the leatherback turtle’s enemies—sharks, including the Giant Megalodon. Â
From there, everyone could probably guess what happened next: Su Luo searched for the enemies of the Giant Megalodon.
However, the Giant Megalodon had no natural enemies.
So Su Luo had to settle for finding a creature comparable to the Giant Megalodon—that was the Melville Whale. Â
What a long story, wasn’t it?
But it was also what made Su Luo so knowledgeable.
After all, her admission to Q University was based on more than just textbook knowledge. Â
Now the trial had clearly shifted from a simple challenge to an ultimate showdown between top-level ocean predators.
Such a battle was completely beyond Su Luo’s current ability to participate in.
So she could only watch helplessly as they fought. Â
“Biting… gnawing… crashing…”
A series of primal clashes capable of turning the entire Sea City to ruins greatly expanded Su Luo’s field of vision. Â
She even felt that if in the future she saw a dragon and phoenix fighting right in front of her, she wouldn’t be surprised.
This was truly a dazzling visual feast. Â
After a desperate fight between the two, with the Melville Whale’s huge body collapsing with a crash, Su Luo barely won her fortieth level.
But at the forty-first level, Su Luo was truly stuck.
Three Melville Whales appeared at once! Â
Even a single Melville Whale forced the Giant Megalodon to use all its strength; how could three possibly be defeated?
This level of battle really couldn’t be won with a few clever tricks.
“Alright, you win. I give up.” Su Luo decisively quit. Â
She withdrew from the trial and returned to the Trial Tower.
Yun Feibai had already come out. Â
Su Luo asked, “What level did you reach?”
Yun Feibai sighed, “Level thirty-five. You must be higher than me, right? How far?”
Su Luo smiled, “Level forty.”
Yun Feibai grinned, “Impressive.”
Su Luo frowned and said, “I used the shark doll—it’s a Giant Megalodon. I wonder if I can still use it now.”
Yun Feibai was momentarily surprised, then said, “No problem, try it again now.”
Su Luo nodded, infused her spiritual power into the doll, and it began to emit a white glow.
She quickly withdrew her power, happily saying, “It still works!”
The two were now ready for the Final Battle.
Inside the tower, they asked, “How do we start the Final Battle?”
Above the red button in the tower, a yellow screen suddenly appeared, with blue characters that read: “To be revealed tomorrow.”
They knew they couldn’t get the mission today, so they left the Trial Tower.
Their trial had lasted a long time; they had come in the morning, but it was now already dark outside. Â
Su Luo and Yun Feibai left the tower, glanced at the large screen, and saw the top two names had become “Lost” and “Ji Hei.”
The two exchanged a smile and headed toward their inn.
On the way, Su Luo looked at Yun Feibai and asked, “How long did you wait for me?”
Yun Feibai shook his head, “Not too long, maybe about an hour.”
Su Luo gave him an apologetic look, “Next time, you should go back first.”
Yun Feibai smiled and patted her head, “It’s basic courtesy for a gentleman to wait for a lady. Besides, we’re partners.”
Su Luo swatted his hand away with a mock glare.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then closed it without a word. Â
Yun Feibai didn’t wait for her reply and sighed deeply, his voice low, “You can try relying on me more, trusting me a little. After all, we’re teammates, and there will be many more times we’ll be waiting for each other.”
There was an unspoken meaning in his words.
Su Luo silently listened but said nothing. Â
They chatted a little about the animals they encountered during the trial.
Indeed, different creatures appeared based on the pets of the trial participants. Â
Yun Feibai’s situation was completely different from Su Luo’s.
At first, sharks appeared on his side.
Su Luo had to admit, he was really having a hard time. Â
Come to think of it, does that mean weaker people can pass more easily?
That didn’t make sense! Â
The two had some guesses in their minds.
Yun Feibai said, “Our Final Battle tomorrow shouldn’t be too difficult.” Â
Su Luo nodded, “Indeed, your Mosasaurus is too strong, plus you have the Giant Megalodon. We shouldn’t lose easily.”
“But I feel there must be some hidden issue we haven’t discovered yet.”
Yun Feibai just nodded but didn’t say more.
They quickly returned to the inn.
Su Luo went back to her room, ready to get a good night’s sleep and face the Final Battle tomorrow. Â
But this night was destined to be sleepless.
Ever since their names entered the leaderboard, Sea City had already fallen into a turbulent state, with countless forces stirring restlessly.
From the moment Su Luo returned to her room, people sneaked in continuously, all with one purpose: to kill Su Luo.
Su Luo didn’t hesitate—one came, she killed one; two came, she killed two.
To keep her spirit in good condition for tomorrow’s battle, she stationed her jellyfish by the window to kill intruders instantly, then quickly returned to rest.
The night passed without incident. Â
The next morning, Su Luo and Yun Feibai went to the Trial Tower together.
Both had dark circles under their eyes, but neither mentioned the events of the night.
Despite the disturbances, no one bothered them on the way. Â
At the tower, they placed their hands on the button.
The familiar yellow screen appeared, but this time it displayed the Final Battle mission: kill everyone in Sea City except the Top Ten. Â
Just as Su Luo had guessed, the series of assassins last night proved today’s mission was a serious threat to many interests.
However, one thing puzzled her.
She looked up at the black tower that had stood for countless years, her eyes filled with complicated emotions. Â
Yun Feibai noticed her gaze and asked, “Leave tomorrow or leave today?”
Su Luo withdrew her eyes and turned to him.
After a long silence, she said, “Tomorrow.” Â
Yun Feibai looked at her and suddenly smiled lightly, “Alright then, let’s go.”
Just as they made a move to leave the tower, a flood of ocean creatures surged toward them, aiming to catch them off guard.
But the two had already summoned their pets, waiting for this moment. Â
Yun Feibai’s Mosasaurus opened its blood-red jaws and charged out proudly, wreaking havoc.
Every tail swing caused massive casualties. Â
Su Luo’s jellyfish quietly slipped out, waving its tentacles at the humans.
Soon, a large number of them fell. Â
Those humans clearly knew they couldn’t take on Su Luo and Yun Feibai’s pets directly, so they planned to kill the two before their pets could respond and end the threat once and for all.
But would Yun Feibai give them that chance?
Just as several people crept into the Trial Tower, Yun Feibai suddenly released the Giant Megalodon, throwing everyone into chaos.
They obviously didn’t understand why the two had three pets.
The addition of the Giant Megalodon turned the tide dramatically against them. Â
Originally, they could barely handle the Mosasaurus and Box Jellyfish, let alone face this new deadly weapon.
Taking advantage of their confusion and hesitation, Su Luo, with her petite figure, slipped away in the chaos.
One sharp-eyed person spotted Su Luo escaping and shouted, “That woman ran out!”
Someone nearby casually replied, “Her pet is just a jellyfish—no big deal. But the guy inside, his pet’s a Mosasaurus—that’s a serious threat.”
The person who shouted nodded in agreement, realizing he hadn’t thought it through enough.
The explainer, seeing this admiring look, became smug. Â
He put on the air of a seasoned veteran and calmly analyzed further, “Look, the woman ran away, but the shark is still in the field. That means the shark belongs to the guy.”
He deliberately paused.
After some thought, he continued, “So the woman only has a harmless jellyfish, while the man has two deadly weapons: the shark and the Mosasaurus. It’s obvious who we should focus on. We should watch the man more closely.” Â
After finishing his analysis, he leered, “Once we kill that guy, won’t the woman be ours to manipulate?”
Someone nearby asked, puzzled, “The woman’s appearance is just average. I’m not interested.”
He shook his head, acting as if they knew nothing, “That guy can activate such powerful pets; he must be no weakling himself. And the woman made such a guy devoted to her—that means she must be remarkable in some way.”
He then rubbed his hands together with a wicked grin, laughing, “Maybe she’s amazing in bed! Hahaha!”
As he spoke, he acted as if Su Luo was already in his bed, proudly lost in his lewd fantasy.
