408 Chapter 408
A golden light column descended in front of everyone, and the man in a golden robe who had appeared outside the tower reappeared.
"Now, please find a seat for yourselves. The Halidom's test will be an opportunity for you."
The man in a golden robe said slowly. He gently waved his hand and several seats appeared at once.
"I will give you Halidom beads. Every time you absorb one, your strength will be increased accordingly. After an hour, the person who absorbs the most Halidom beads will obtain the divine-level magical beast embryo."
Everyone's eyes were filled with longing. They quickly chose their positions, waiting for the golden-robed man to bestow the Halidom bead.
What made Dick a little uncomfortable was, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Dalik chose the seat next to him.
Dalik gave Dick a bland smile, but Dick didn't think he had a good heart.
When everyone was ready, the man in the golden robe gently waved his hand. And a golden bead appeared above everyone's head, emitting infinite light.
Dick felt as if he was grilled on a fire. The burning feeling came from his limbs and bones as if he was going to burn them all.
Dick gritted his teeth to resist the burning pain in his body. He circulated his talent and absorbed the power of the Halidom bead. At the same time, he felt that his combat power was constantly rising.
Ten minutes later, Dick finished the absorption of the first Halidom bead. He opened his eyes and looked around. He saw that most people's Halidom bead had only absorbed a small part, and Dalik's Halidom bead had only absorbed about half.
Looking at the man in a golden robe who was standing in front of everyone, Dick suddenly had a bold idea.
When he introduced the rules just now, the man in the golden robe did not say that he was not allowed to use his own talent to help absorb the Halidom bead. Then, even if he activated his talent, it was not cheating.
The time force field quietly spread out and covered Dick's body. He slowed down his own time so that he could have more time to absorb the Halidom bead.
Every time he absorbed a Halidom bead, his combat power would increase by about fifty stars. If the time flow rate was normal, Dick could only absorb six Halidom beads at most.
But with the help of the time force field, Dick was absolutely confident that he could absorb more than ten Halidom beads.
Another ten minutes later, Dalik finally finished the absorption of the first Halidom bead. He turned his head to look at Dick's absorption, only to find that Dick had already absorbed three Halidom beads and begun to absorb the fourth one.
How could it be possible? How could he be so efficient? The power contained in the Halidom bead is enough to increase my combat power by 15 stars! How could he absorb it so easily?
Dalik rubbed his eyes to make sure what happened in front of him was not his illusion.
A sense of helplessness rose in his heart. At this moment, he finally realized that even if he tried his best, he couldn't be compared with Dick. His previous idea of treating Dick as his competitor was really ridiculous.
Damn it! Since I can't legitimately defeat you, I can't let you get the divine-level magical beast embryo!
As Dalik thought of this, a dagger soaked in poisonous blood appeared in his hand.
As long as he stabbed the dagger into Dick's heart, Dick would die because of the poisonous attack. Then no one present could absorb Halidom beads faster than he. He would definitely be able to obtain the divine-level magical beast embryo.
With a dagger in his hand, Dalik suddenly stood up and stabbed at Dick's chest.
At this moment, a black figure stood in front of him and grabbed his dagger. With a slight twist, the dagger, which was soaked in blood, was turned into a mess.
"You..."
Dalik was about to shout abuse, but he was surprised to find that the man in front of him was Dick covered in darkness!
Was this the avatar talent? Or why there were two Dick? Could he manipulate his avatar while absorbing the Halidom bead?
Dalik looked at the shadowy avatar in front of him in fear. He didn't know that the shadowy avatar had its own consciousness and didn't need Dick to control it at all.
"This method won't work on my real body. I have the talent to be immune to the poisonous attack. I advise you to absorb your own Halidom bead. We are both challengers. I don't want to kill you now."
The shadowy avatar said coldly. He turned into a black light and merged with his real body. Dalik, on the other hand, collapsed to the ground, sweating profusely.
Indeed, he didn't feel wrong just now. Dick's strength had surpassed his too much. If he really attacked Dick just now, he might have been a corpse now.
With his hands on the ground, he panted heavily. He couldn't resist Dick anymore, so he had to stand up and change a seat to continue to absorb the Halidom bead.
An hour passed quickly. The man in the golden robe put away all the seats. Dick also opened his eyes and felt refreshed.
"It's too difficult to absorb. I only absorbed three with all my might, but my strength has increased by 45 stars."
Herzog said to Dick happily.
"Really? That's a good result. Congratulations!"
Dick said to Herzog with a smile.
"Time's up. Announce the result of the first place now."
The man in the golden robe said slowly. He raised his hand and a golden light shone on Dick, attracting everyone's attention.
"The first place is from the first competition area, Dick. He has absorbed a total of 12 Halidom beads."
12! Was he still a human being? How did he make it!
Herzog's eyes widened. All he wanted now was to slap himself so that he could confirm that he was not dreaming.
How ridiculous? How could he compare with this guy?
Looking at Dick's figure, all the people present felt a sense of powerlessness. Although they were a secret force and had the heritage for a thousand years, no one thought they could be on par with this monster-like challenger.
In the golden light column, an egg with a strange shape floated slowly and was held in Dick's arms. Even with the eggshell, Dick could feel the powerful power contained in the magical beast egg.
