There were twenty of them here, so they were able to split up so that two of them took each statue. Of course, it wouldn\'t just be the two of them that were there.

After reaching the statues, they just moved through the crowd until they were right by the statue.

It seemed like they were hiding behind everyone else and there were some people that seemed unhappy about this, but they didn\'t stop them since most people knew about the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect group.

They knew that they were powerful and that it wasn\'t time to fight them right now.

So they thought of it as a positive thing instead of thinking negatively.

Instead of thinking that they were being used, they thought of it as them using them as a secret force in case anything went wrong.

When the timer ended, the voice came from the statues again.

"The beasts are coming, please brace yourselves. Your goal will be to protect all ten statues, but know that loss is inevitable. For each statue that is destroyed, there will be an additional wave added to the beast waves. Once all twenty waves have been cleared, this task will be considered over."

Everyone deeply knitted their brows when they heard this.

Even though instructions had been given, they were still worried after hearing this.

After all, there was no concrete detail that was given such as how strong the beasts were or how many there were.

They only now knew that they had to defeat twenty waves of beasts and that they had to protect the statues.

At the same time, there was a twist where they would be allowed to let a statue fall if necessary.

There was no doubt that this must be some kind of hidden mechanism that they needed to think about when facing the beasts. Perhaps it was that one of the statues had a special purpose…?

Regardless, it was too early for them to think about this as there were roars that came from around them.

As soon as the mechanical voice of the statue fell, there were doors that opened up around them.

These doors opened up in the circular wall of the room around them.

These walls had seemed sturdy, but it turned out that there were hidden doors in this wall that opened up as soon as the mechanical voice fell.

Behind these doors were beasts that seemed like they had been waiting there the whole time.

However, when the beasts appeared, everyone couldn\'t help revealing…disappointed looks.

They had been worried about these beasts, but there weren\'t that many of them in the first place.

There were only around two hundred of them and it seemed like they were only in the Qi Gathering Realm. Most of the people that were here were in the Peak Qi Gathering Realm and many of them had already broken through to the Foundation Realm.

So these Qi Gathering Realm beasts were easy for them to defeat.

It didn\'t even take that many of them to defeat these Qi Gathering Realm beasts, but there were many of them that rushed forward to defeat them.

The ones that charged forward all thought that they would be able to earn more points from defeating more of these spirit beasts, so they even started competing with each other for the spirit beasts.

They had completely forgotten that they needed to be protecting the statues.

There were only a few people left by the statues in the end.

All of the members of the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group were standing by the statues.

They knew that this must be some kind of trap, which was why they didn\'t follow the rest out.

This was indeed a trap as when the next wave started, there were ten times more doors that opened up in the wall around them. That meant that there were over two thousand different beasts that suddenly appeared.

These beasts were also stronger than the ones that had appeared before, with some of them even being in the Peak Qi Gathering Realm.

When the ones that had run out saw them, they realized that they had been baited out.

Instead of staying by the defenses that they had made around the statues and fighting with ease, they were now surrounded by these spirit beasts and had to fight tooth and nail to get out of this encirclement.

They had to find some way back to the statues or else they might be completely swallowed by the spirit beasts around them.

After all, everyone only had so much stamina and it was impossible for them to keep fighting out in the open like this. They would run out of stamina if they were to keep fighting all of these spirit beasts like this.

So they could only try to retreat back to their positions around the statues with bitter looks on their faces.

They regretted leaving their favoured positions very much.

Though this wasn\'t actually a trap.

This was just a warm up since this was a trial, so the designer had wanted to give everyone a slow start before ramping up the difficulty.

It seemed that they had completely misunderstood this and thought that they had been plotted against.

In the end, some of the people who had gone out had been able to make it back to the defensive positions by the statues. However, most of them had used up their energy and wouldn\'t be of any help if they didn\'t rest up first.

At the same time, there were many that didn\'t make it back to the statues.

There had been a total of over a thousand of them, but in an instant…they had lost a fifth of them with just this second wave. They had been swallowed by the spirit beasts and had died in the end.

It could be said that the power of the defenses had decreased by half all because of the rash actions of these people.

But the members of the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect didn\'t panic.

In fact, they even looked like they had already expected this.

That was because Huang Xie had actually predicted that this would happen.

He knew that these people would be eager for achievements since he had seen the looks on their faces, so he had actually chosen to use them as bait to see what the waves would be like.

During all of this, the members of the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect hadn\'t fought at all.

They just watched as those that had gone out fought with the spirit beasts.

As for the remaining spirit beasts that managed to reach the statues in the end, the ones that weren\'t killed by those that charged out…they were dealt with by another group.

Among those that had remained at the statues were those that had their soul fragments taken by Huang Xie.

After distributing the soul fragments, these people had no choice but to follow the orders of the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group. They had been standing in their positions by the statue the entire time.

As they watched the others slaughtering the spirit beasts from the first wave, they were filled with resentment towards Huang Xie for keeping them here. But when they saw the second wave appear, they all let out sighs of relief as they realized that they had actually been saved by being forced to remain by the statues.

Now that the spirit beasts were here, they were the ones that had been sent out to deal with these spirit beasts.

They didn\'t mind since it was something that they had to do anyway and they thought that they would earn contribution points by doing this, so it was a win win for them. Not to mention, most of the spirit beasts had already been weakened by those that had charged out, so it was easy for them to defeat them.

But right before they did, they received the order to stop attacking.

They left 10%, or two hundred of the spirit beasts alive which they kept at bay with the help of the others that didn\'t go out.

Those people were also working with the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group since they saw that they seemed to know what to do.

As they held these spirit beasts at bay, they quickly sent out those that could heal to help the ones that had retreated. It seemed like they were trying to heal them up as soon as possible.

Seeing this, many people realized the same thing as the Love Sect and Demon Palm Sect group.

As long as there were still spirit beasts, the next wave wouldn\'t appear.

That meant that they would have time to rest and heal up in between waves, as long as there were spirit beasts left.

Though they would still need some energy to keep the spirit beasts at bay and would waste some time healing up, it was a worthy exchange. Especially if those that were injured in the first clash could return to the fight.

There was no doubt that they would be able to make great contributions to the fight.

So like this, they held back the second wave while healing up.
