I Beat Up Npcs in a Bizarre World

240: Chapter 240: Testing the Gods (Sixteen)On the ground, Meng Yu and the others saw the black and white mist above gradually dissipating.

The Big Shot slowly appeared.

”Big Shot!”

”Those souls...” Meng Yu frowned.

”They have their own place to go.” Chiba waved her hand.

”This part is over for now; the dark aura in this city is already disappearing.”

”Next, the most important thing is to improve your strength.”

”Us?” Tai You pointed at himself.

Wait, now that they were out of the game, what abilities did they still have?

They didn’t even have the ability to run away.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been captured one by one to be sacrificed.

”Do you really think that was just a game?” Chiba murmured softly; they had to listen closely to hear her clearly.

”Do you think that just because you’re out of the game, it has nothing to do with this place? Then you are dead wrong.” Chiba’s gaze grew serious.

”This game is just an entrance, hiding an even greater secret behind it. As for you, you’ve entered the game before. I cleared the virus your bodies once produced and left something behind in you, which has now undergone a special change. With training, you can transform this change into power.”

Meng Yu’s eyes shifted. ”What other secrets are there?”

”Could it be that this tens-of-thousands-of-years-old game is a conspiracy?”

The more she thought about it, the more oppressive the surrounding atmosphere became.

If that were the case, how ironic it would be.

Chiba pursed her lips tightly; though she didn’t want to admit it, that was the truth.

And this conspiracy was aimed specifically at her.

”Only by increasing your power will you be qualified to know the scheme behind it.” After saying this, Chiba took out several stones emitting a faint glow.

”These are spirit source stones. Hold one and meditate, trying to sense the energy within and guide it into your body. However, it will be very painful at first. If you can’t endure it, your body might explode, and you’ll die.”

”It just depends on whether you’re brave enough.”

”Also, you awakened your power early; this spirit source stone can help you fuse that ability.”

Meng Yu nodded and took the spirit source stone, looking forward to the moment she would be filled with power.

To the side, Tai You gritted his teeth. ”Anyway, I’ve already died once; I’ll give it a shot.” Thus, everyone took a spirit source stone and began to try.

Not long after Meng Yu closed her eyes, she felt a surge of intense pain, but she clenched her teeth and persevered.

Suddenly, she saw strange images flashing before her eyes, appearing to be the sinful deeds that had once occurred in this city. She was startled; could this also be part of the training?

Just then, a scream came from Tai You’s side; it was uncertain whether he could make it through.

Meng Yu wanted to distract herself to check on Tai You, but the moment her mind wandered, the intense pain surged like a tide, nearly drowning her.

She could only force herself to stay calm and focus her energy on the power within the spirit source stone.

On the other side, Tai You’s face was deathly pale, and his body trembled violently.

He felt as if he were in a sea of fire, with every inch of his skin burning.

But remembering the helplessness he felt when he was captured, he clenched his fists and resisted desperately.

The images before Meng Yu’s eyes kept shifting, those sinful deeds becoming clearer and clearer.

She discovered that these images seemed to have some sort of connection; perhaps unraveling them would provide more clues about the secrets behind it all.

Suddenly, a burst of light emanated from Tai You; he had actually pulled through.

He let out a long sigh of relief and looked weakly at the others.

At that moment, Meng Yu also successfully guided a stream of energy into her body. The pain lessened significantly, and she could feel the blue power within her slowly merging with her.

She opened her eyes and said, ”I saw some images; they might be useful.”

Chiba nodded. ”Very good. This is the innate talent you’ve awakened. Once you can fully control this power, you’ll be able to explore the true secrets behind everything.”

Hearing this, everyone’s gaze became even more determined as they prepared to continue their training.
