Tang Shaoyang stood in the middle of the monsters and beast he killed. Blood trickled down from the blade of his Dragon Destroyer.

You have cleared the first wave!

The next wave will spawn in an hour!

Those were the notifications that rang in his head. He was not sure how long it was for him to clear ten thousand monsters, but he was sure it was not over three hours. He was quite fast even though he did not use his skill. It was just pure strength to defeat ten thousand stage-4 monsters.

"Let's see if I can summon a spirit in this dimension,

" Tang Shaoyang extended his hands wide and activated the skill, Epic Summoning. He thought the skill might not work since he could not communicate or receive help from the spirit. To his surprise, the skill was working. The corpses burst out into the dark mist and gathered in one spot.

You have summoned Grade C Spirit, Goru the Hobgoblin Champion!

Three meters tall Hobgoblin came out of the dark mist and yelled to the sky as it raised the club to the sky as well,

"UWOOOOOO!

"

"What the… Grade C? It's still ten thousand sacrifices, that should be at least Grade B Spirit or maybe Grade C Spirit, right?

" Tang Shaoyang muttered as he was not satisfied with the creature he had summoned. However, it was too late to regret it right now. Even if he sacrificed the hobgoblin, he only obtained Spiritual Energy and an inferior skill of a Grade C Spirit.

"Grade C Spirit also fine,

" Tang Shaoyang accepted it and looked toward the Hobgoblin Champion,

"Can you talk?

"

The Hobgoblin's answer was a yell then it rushed toward him with the big club. Its movement was too slow in Tang Shaoyang's eyes,

"Since you can't talk, let's finish with a fist,

" After saying that, Tang Shaoyang rushed toward the hobgoblin spirit. His movement might be too fast for Goru. It could not react in time as he arrived in front of it and sent a punch toward the belly.

From the punch, Goru's body curved backward as his body was flung ten meters away before it crashed on the ground and rolled on the grass. Tang Shaoyang did not stop there as he leaped toward the Hobgoblin. He stepped right on the monster's head.

Boom!

The Hobgoblin's head sunk into the ground and soon he saw the magic circle formed on the monster's forehead as he raised his foot. The monster gave up after two strikes,

"This is too fast, I don't even use my skill,

" Now he was not sure whether he should add the Hobgoblin into his spirit army. He was not going to invest the sacrifice on a hobgoblin. If he invested in Karan, that was because Karan was his first spirit. They had been through a lot together so he would not throw the orc away.

"Nah, I don't know if the hobgoblin will have any use on the battlefield but let's see what it can do in the next wave,

" Tang Shaoyang put his palm on the magic circle.

You have established a contract with Grade C Spirit, Goru the Hobgoblin Champion!

The Hobgoblin turned in black mists and entered his forehead. He then let out a sigh and looked around. The green grass had turned red from the blood of the monsters,

"Now what should I do in the next hour?

"

Tang Shaoyang located the stone pillar and headed back there,

"Goru, can you listen to me?

" He tried to communicate with the newly contracted spirit. He wanted to know if he could summon the spirit if he was summoned in this dimension.

—Master? Do you call me?

Tang Shaoyang heard a rough voice replying, and he was surprised to hear that. He did not have that much hope it would work since the two spirits told him that their Master died in the trial,

"Don't tell me that they did not even pass the first wave?

"

If they passed the first wave they should be able to summon a spirit and use the spirit to fight or even pass the trial. Tang Shaoyang cast Spirit Manifestation and summoned Goru. The three meters tall Hobgoblin appeared in front of him. At the sight of his Master, Goru knelt.

"What if I summon Zaneos?

" Tang Shaoyang tried to summon Zaneos but he only got a notification.

You can't summon the Grade A Spirit, Zaneos The Demon Swordmaster in this dimension!

"As expected, I can't summon them,

" This was something he expected. A little bit disappointed but not so much. It was not like he would rely on them to finish the trial. It was just a bit lonely that he had no one to talk with.

—What can I do for you, Master?

Goru spoke again. Tang Shaoyang had been ignoring the hobgoblin from the start so the monster spoke again to gain his master's attention.

"Nothing, you can go back to the Spiritual Space… Wait, do you come from my Spiritual Space?

" Tang Shaoyang thought of something. Where did he come from? That was a good question. If he came from his Spiritual Space then he should be meeting with the other spirits.

—I don't know but I come from a nice place for sure. It's much better than the darkness I have been before.

From Goru's answer, Tang Shaoyang could tell that this was the first time the hobgoblin had been summoned, or else the hobgoblin should know about the spiritual space and the void. But the fact that the monster knew nothing about those two places, the spirit must be a newbie.

"Did you meet with the other spirits in that place?

" This was weird if the spirits were staying in the same place, he should be able to summon the other spirits too.

—Other spirits? I don't know. I did not see anyone else but me in that place

Goru replied with a confused tone. He recalled the place where had been and truly saw no one but him and a warm grass field. He did not understand what his Master talked about.

"I see,

" Tang Shaoyang nodded his head. If Goru was in a different spiritual space, it was logical that he was not able to summon the other spirits. That meant the spiritual space got separated too,

"There's nothing you need to do for now but you will have to fight in an hour. So you can go back to that nice place for now,

"

—Yes, Master. If you need me for something. I am at your call, Master.

After saying that, Goru the Hobgoblin Champion disappeared into black mist, leaving Tang Shaoyang alone.

He went back to the stone pillar. The stone pillar was still the same even after he finished the first wave of the trial,

"Maybe there's really nothing special about this stone pillar,

" he muttered and sat down with his back leaned against the stone pillar.

There was nothing to do as he had to wait for an hour for the next wave. Idle sitting there, Tang Shaoyang opened his window status. Killing ten thousand stage-4 monsters did not give him enough exp to level…

"Or I can't level up because I have reached max level?

"

"Wait, there's something weird here,

" Tang Shaoyang noticed something weird with his window status. It was his Attribute Points, he had a lot of them even though he always allocated them into his Strength Attribute.

He did not take a look at his window status carefully each time. So he did not notice that he had a lot of attribute points. Almost forty thousand attribute points. That was a lot. Then he only noticed now that 99999 was the max for each attribute aside from Sense. This was a new mystery.
