Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

The little monster acted swiftly and smoothly. He seemed very capable of unlocking the Eight Diagrams Locks.

Sure enough, he quickly found a knack to do that. After a few minutes, he successfully unlocked the Eight Diagrams Locks. Then, he eyed Geoffrey curiously, as though he wanted to size up his capabilities.

Because of two prior experiences, Geoffrey was now able to maintain his composure. In fact, he acted as though he was in no rush.

He even observed the other monsters for a while before reaching out his hands to the Eight Diagrams Lock. He grabbed each side of the Eight Diagrams Lock with both hands and gently twisted it, unlocking it with ease.

Then he unlocked the second lock, the third, the fourth...

Once he'd successfully unlocked all six Eight Diagrams Locks, Geoffrey smiled at the little monster in front of him. Then, he began to reconfigure the pieces of the locks.

He paired the biggest two pieces of Eight Diagrams Locks with the smallest two pieces. Then the middle-sized ones were pieced and paired with them. All in all, a strange shape was formed.

There were endless permutations to the combinations of the pieces of the Eight Diagrams Locks. As Geoffrey's flexible hands continued to move nimbly, these Eight Diagrams Locks seemed to come to life, changing shape constantly.

After Geoffrey formed a large structure with all the Eight Diagrams Locks, he put it to the side and gently flicked at it with his finger. Immediately, the structure collapsed into small pieces again.

The little monster looked at Geoffrey's series of movements, his eyes revealing a look of surprise. It never occurred to him that this thing could be toyed with like this.

Geoffrey gestured towards the little monster and leaned against the side of the cage.

After their time was up, the other losers in the underground space began to be wiped out again.

Plop! Plop! Plop...

A series of sounds rang out, indicating that another batch of monsters had been eliminated. Geoffrey's eyes swept throughout the cages as he did a rough headcount. It seemed only a small number of monsters were left.

On the third day, a new round of test began. This time, they were asked to unlock an exquisite chain made of one hundred rings.

Geoffrey had never seen a chain of one hundred rings before.

Fortunately for him, he was very smart. After studying it for a while, he figured it out. In no time, he had unraveled it easily.

In comparison, the little monster on the other side scratched his head and ears, as if it was very difficult for him to unfasten this strange chain.

"You find it difficult, right?" Geoffrey called out to him with a shrug.
