Chapter 36 Duan Xing
Night had fallen, and all was still; the sky during the waning moon seemed covered by a deep, dark red satin.
Just then, a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky.
An object trailing blue tail flames emerged from the black hole and streaked across the sky, hurtling directly towards the Blood-Colored Plain in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the blue fireball slammed into the expansive land of the Blood-Colored Plain, creating a crater over fifty meters in diameter, scattering debris, and scorching the twisted nearby plants to ashes.
As the rising steam dissipated, at the bottom of the crater lay a large, square metallic box, its surface slightly warped from the intense impact.
At that moment, the metal box vibrated, and a heavy metal door opened, sliding upwards from the bottom.
From inside, a human-like boy with pale blue hair roughly 1.65 meters tall emerged, clad in a heavy set of Rune Armor. His pure white pupils showed no sign of emotional fluctuation, as devoid of life as a puppet.
Just then, a mechanical electronic voice sounded from behind Duan Xing in the shuttle:
"The combat trial has begun, with me as the center within a radius of 35 kilometers as your trial area. You must not leave the trial area during the trial period, or you will be deemed to have failed the trial!"
Leaping out of the crater, the blue-haired puppet scanned the charred earth nearby and then raised his right hand to twist a metal knob protruding from the left side of his chest, as if winding up a clock.
