After Becoming a Solo Player, My Unlimited Skills Made Me Invincible

Chapter 43: Trial Core?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After entering the passage, Mo Xiao directly sat on the ground, still wearing the invisibility cloak.

He was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out.

Fortunately, the Guardian here wasn’t insane enough to hear people’s heartbeats; otherwise, he would have never made it through.

“I’ve finally passed! Let me see what’s behind this last trial!”

Excitedly rubbing his hands, Mo Xiao stepped into the interior of the passage.

As he advanced, the passage gradually became narrower, and the surrounding light dimmed.

Soon, he found himself in an almost completely dark space.

“What is this place?”

[Congratulations on reaching the final destination. The active skill seal is lifted!]

[You have reached the final destination. Please use the Trial Core to open the Final Door.]

A cold mechanical voice sounded.

A door shimmering with seven-colored light appeared in front of Mo Xiao.

[Final Door: The door at the end of the trial. Only the Trial Core can open this door.]

“The Trial Core? What… what is that?” Mo Xiao was dumbfounded upon seeing this.

He had stumbled here without any knowledge of what the Trial Core even was.

[Trial Core: An item carried by the Guardian, who keeps watch over the Trial Grounds. He carries the Trial Core with him, and only by defeating the Guardian can one obtain the Trial Core.]

Based on this description, it was obvious that the Trial Core was the drop from the Guardian from before.

He had to kill him to have a chance of obtaining it.

“I thought I succeeded… It seems I was too naive!!!”

Mo Xiao sat on the ground, feeling both amused and helpless.

He was so close to getting out, but who would have thought that he was still missing a core!

He couldn’t possibly run out to fight the Guardian again.

He was no match for him at all!

“It seems being clever won’t work… and 1 wasted a supreme-grade item, sigh-”

Just as he sighed deeply, Mo Xiao suddenly sprang up from the ground: “The active skill seal seems to be lifted?”

As if he had thought of something, he quickly opened the skill panel and frantically searched for something.

[Quick Fingers Mastery: Red skill, the legendary stealing skill, with a 100% success rate (including monsters)! You can steal any item from the opponent’s backpack! Passive looting: there is a 50% chance to steal all the opponent’s money and a 5% chance to completely empty the opponent’s backpack!]

A forgotten red skill introduction panel appeared directly in front of Mo Xiao.

Mo Xiao stared at it intensely, especially the word ‘monster.’

“It seems not entirely hopeless…” Mo Xiao gulped, and hope once again ignited in his eyes. “System, what is the range of Quick Fingers’ spellcasting?”

[This skill has a maximum casting range of 10 meters.]

Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned again.

10 meters. In other words, he had to get within 70 meters of the Guardian to use this move.

Although it was a 100% successful stealing skill, Mo Xiao wasn’t sure if it would be effective against hostile creatures.

His cloak only had 63 seconds left at this point.

And based on his recent movement speed, it seemed like it wouldn’t be enough.

“I have no choice. I can only give it a try! This guy said he won’t kill me, so as long as I steal from him and escape like crazy, it should work! Now that the skill is unlocked, worst case scenario, I’ll go all out against him!”

Thinking this through, Mo Xiao nodded firmly.

Whether it was for the rewards in this trial space or to escape from here, Mo Xiao was determined to take this risk!

Mo Xiao stood up and glanced at the Final Door behind him before turning around and walking back into the passage.

Before long, the Guardian’s figure appeared again in Mo Xiao’s sight.

Watching the strong back, Mo Xiao clenched his teeth, once again wore the invisibility cloak, and cautiously approached within 10 meters behind the Guardian.

[Reminder: Invisible Cloak has 30 seconds remaining!]

Though Mo Xiao increased his speed, much of the time had already been used up.

Seeing this, he gritted his teeth and activated the skill.

[You have activated Quick Fingers! Stealing successful! Congratulations, you obtained the Guardian’s Treasure Chest!]

[You’ve activated Quick Fingers! Stealing successful! Congratulations on obtaining the Guardian Heavy Armor! ]

“Damn it! Hurry up!”

Two attempts in a row, but he didn’t get what he wanted. If it weren’t for this skill’s lack of cooldown, he might have given up entirely.

[You have activated Quick Fingers! Stealing successful! Congratulations on obtaining all the gold coins of the Guardian!]

“Don’t mess with me!!!”

[You have activated Quick Fingers! Congratulations on triggering a special effect! Your backpack has been completely emptied!]

The moment this message appeared, Mo Xiao was overjoyed, but before he could turn around, another prompt followed closely.

[You stole the Trial Core from the Guardian. The Guardian has entered a state of rage! Please escape quickly or defeat him!]

“F*ck! He’s furious?!”

Seeing this information, Mo Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply. He abruptly turned around and ran towards the depths of the passage at the fastest speed he had ever achieved.

“You vermin!!! How dare you steal my guardian artifact!!! Stop and accept your death!!!”

As the Guardian bellowed in rage, he shot forward like an arrow, directly towards Mo Xiao.

“I didn’t mean to!! I just wanted to get out!!!”

Seeing the rapidly decreasing distance, Mo Xiao almost cried out in despair.

“Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!”

Just at that moment, Mo Xiao quickly turned around and activated the Advanced Resistance Fire Ring.

Instantly, a powerful force pushed against the Guardian.

In an instant, the Guardian’s body jerked to a halt and was pushed back several meters.

This momentary pause gave Mo Xiao the time he needed to escape.

In a mere 10 seconds, Mo Xiao sprinted through the entire passage and rushed into the Final Land.

Although the guardian chased after him, he stopped just outside the Final Door, not daring to advance any further.

Clearly, he couldn’t enter this place.

“You vermin!!! Come out and accept your death!!! Return the Trial Core to me!!!”

The Guardian roared with immense fury.

“I got it! So it’s mine! Return it to you? Dream on!”

Mo Xiao retorted, without hesitation, he took out the Trial Core, resembling a badge, from his backpack and swiftly threw it into the Final Door.

[Beep, congratulations on opening the final door. Trial passed!]

[You will be transported to the final space, do you wish to proceed?]

“What? Another space? Don’t tell me I have to fight again?”

Hearing this, Mo Xiao suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He really didn’t want to continue any longer.

[Next is the bonus stage for rewards, please rest assured for the teleportation..]
