Chapter 606: The Trio of Chu Shi

Ye Yuan was not joking with them.

By the end of the third day, nearly three thousand were dead or wounded!

This proportion was quite high!

And Liu Hong did not conceal this number; he informed everyone through the great formation.

At this moment, the formation had stopped operating, and the faces of Chu Shi and his two companions were more solemn than ever.

"According to that kid, the fourth day will be even harder than today! If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow's casualty rate will likely be even higher!" Chu Shi said in a deep voice.

Zhu Changzhi agreed, "That's inevitable! That kid is truly detestable. We haven't died at the hands of the Wind Realm warriors, yet we might die at his hands first! If I can get out of this formation, I'll make that kid pay!"

Chu Shi sneered, "Keep boasting! That kid, at the Sea Transformation Realm, can set up such a powerful fourth-rank formation. Can you be his match? Have you forgotten how that commander died?"

Hearing this, Zhu Changzhi couldn't help but shiver.

Even without relying on the formation's power, they were no match for Ye Yuan.

That Wind Realm commander had no room to resist in Ye Yuan's hands.

Their strength was at most on par with that commander. If it came to a real fight, they might not even be a match for that commander.

The consequences of challenging Ye Yuan needed no further elaboration.

"With so many of us, I don't believe he dares to kill us all!" Zhu Changzhi said, blustering outwardly but trembling inwardly.

Chu Shi rolled his eyes, too lazy to bother with this guy.

At this moment, Qian Si, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke: "Haven't you noticed that our overall combat effectiveness as a trio is gradually improving?"

Chu Shi and Zhu Changzhi exchanged a glance, startled.

It seemed to be true!

In the first two days, they fought individually and were basically brutalized by the phantom warriors, with no room to fight back.

Until this morning, they were still being thoroughly thrashed.

But later, after they set aside their so-called dignity and joined forces against the enemy, they seemed to gradually adapt to such battles.

Although they were still being brutalized, by evening they had gradually regained some ground.

This undoubtedly showed that the combat effectiveness of Chu Shi and his two companions was gradually rising!

This discovery greatly surprised the three of them.

"So that kid set up this formation precisely to enhance our teamwork!" Chu Shi said, suddenly enlightened.

"Our individual strength hasn't increased much, but the overall strength of our trio has improved considerably!" Zhu Changzhi said.

"Continue tomorrow!" Qian Si said succinctly.

...

Soon, the training for the fourth day began.

The difficulty on the fourth day was clearly higher than the previous three days!

However, the trio of Chu Shi had gradually grasped some tricks.

Undoubtedly, humans have a very strong ability to imitate.

The coordination of those phantom warriors was quite exquisite, and Chu Shi and his companions learned a lot from their countless battles.

Through such high-intensity combat, they gradually turned what they had learned into bodily instincts.

As they said, once they found the feeling of coordination among the three, they had far more variations than those phantom warriors.

By evening, the three had gradually gained the upper hand over those phantom warriors!

From the first day until now, the three of them had always faced five opponents.

From being brutally dominated at the start, they had gradually gained the upper hand!

"Old Chu! Old Qian!" Zhu Changzhi roared.

"Got it!" Zhu Changzhi didn't say what to do, but Chu Shi instantly understood his intent.

At this moment, Zhu Changzhi alone was holding off three phantom warriors, already in a precarious situation.

As if knowing what the other was thinking, Chu Shi and Qian Si simultaneously swept aside their own opponents and struck directly at the middle one fighting Zhu Changzhi.

Just then, Zhu Changzhi's attack also arrived!

Under the combined assault of the three, that phantom warrior was instantly pierced through!

At that moment, the two phantom warriors who had been swept aside charged back. Chu Shi and Qian Si mysteriously swapped positions, leaving an opening for Zhu Changzhi!

Another phantom warrior was pierced through by Zhu Changzhi!

Thus, their coordination grew increasingly skilled, and they soon eliminated all the phantom warriors.

The three tossed aside their swords and slumped to the ground in exhaustion.

"Damn, this is exhausting! We've killed all five phantom warriors—can't we get out yet?" Chu Shi grumbled.

"Heh heh, that was thrilling! I never imagined the three of us working together could be this powerful!" Zhu Changzhi said excitedly.

Chu Shi rolled his eyes and said insincerely, "Old Zhu, don't get it wrong. In this great formation, I'm only cooperating with you to survive. Once we're out, you go your way, and I'll go mine!"

"Hmph, who wants to cooperate with you anyway?" Zhu Changzhi retorted irritably.

"If you want to die, you can say that to him once we're out," Qian Si interjected inopportunely.

At these words, Chu Shi and Zhu Changzhi immediately wilted.

Ye Yuan had set up this formation precisely to train their teamwork.

If they didn't follow Ye Yuan's intentions after getting out, the consequences were predictable.

...

On the fourth day, the casualty rate was even higher than the third, reaching a terrifying five thousand!

But Chu Shi's group was the first to complete the elimination of the phantom warriors.

At the start of the fifth day, Chu Shi and the others felt like cursing.

Because the training wasn't over; instead, two more phantom warriors were added.

Thus, the number of phantom warriors increased to seven!

"Damn it, is that kid messing with us? Dealing with five was already hellish—how can we kill seven?" Chu Shi complained.

"Stop your babbling. Even if he is messing with you, what can you do about it?" Zhu Changzhi said.

"Can't I vent when I'm pissed? Watch out!"

The increase in phantom warriors caused considerable trouble for Chu Shi's trio.

But by now, Chu Shi's trio was no longer what they used to be. Though struggling, they managed to survive the fifth day thanks to their exquisite coordination.

By noon on the sixth day, Chu Shi's trio finally killed the seven phantom warriors and passed the trial again.

Still, it wasn't over. After resting for a few hours, nine phantom warriors appeared!

But this time, Chu Shi's trio eliminated those nine phantom warriors within the same day!

By the seventh day, Ye Yuan finally emerged from seclusion!

When he reappeared before everyone, he was already at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Sea of Energy!

Seeing Chu Shi's trio inside the formation, he couldn't help but feel surprised.

These three were actually able to handle eleven phantom warriors now.
