Chapter 142 - The First Trial!
Chapter 142 The First Trial!
It was as if he was worried that Chu Feng would not understand the meaning of Perfect Clearance.
Elder Luo explained to Chu Feng, “Your top-notch nine tests are the same. If you complete 80%, you will qualify and be able to enter the next round of tests. If you complete 90%, you will be outstanding, and the reward from the Heavenly Dao will double! As for the completion rate of 100%, that’s legendary. I feel that the difficulty is not something an intelligent life can achieve!
“As for that monster from the Sky Connecting Realm, he was perfect in all eight rounds of assessment!
“Back then, even Master was not as good as him in terms of the first eight rounds!
“Of course, it’s also because Master’s top-notch Nine Trials were much more difficult than the Black-rank Eight Trials!”
Chu Feng took a deep breath upon hearing those words.
Had the Abyss ever produced such a monstrous character? “Is he still alive?”
Chu Feng asked.
If this person was still alive, and he had crushed ancient human beings in their heyday, how could the humans of Earth contend with him now? Elder Luo shook his head.
“I don’t know. I’m just an Artifact Spirit.
“There were many experts in that generation. With their strength, time was no longer a threat to them. Perhaps they were still alive…
“But I haven’t seen them in countless years.
“That era seems to have become a thing of the
past.”
Elder Luo seemed to have seen through Chu Feng’s worry and smiled faintly.
“Don’t worry, you can totally treat them as dead now.
“Furthermore, it’s not like you humans don’t have experts. The various races also have overlords. Perhaps they are busy restraining each other somewhere and have no time to care about other things.
“What you have to do is to focus on your assessment. Only when you go further in the top nine tests will you have the right to participate in their battle.”
“I understand.”
Chu Feng nodded.
There was no use fretting. It would only increase his anxiety.
His current strength was too weak compared to figures like ancient deities.
Not even A + rank.
What was the point of thinking so much?
However, Chu Feng made up his mind.
Since the heavens had given him a chance to compete with countless peerless geniuses of countless eras, he naturally could not let down this hope.
It was just the top-notch Nine Trials!
It was a perfect clearance!
I’ll show you!
At that moment, Chu Feng was filled with battle intent.
Elder Luo nodded slightly.
This way, he would have the bearing of a person worthy of top-notch Nine Trials.
“When you obtained the qualification to take the top-notch nine tests, the Heavenly Dao Stone had already transmitted the contents of your first round of tests. The difficulty is not low, but in my opinion, it is quite average.”
Elder Luo continued.
“First round of the top-notch Nine Trials: Kill the enemy above your rank! Requirements: With a Grade C body, kill an A + rank alone! No external help is allowed, including but not limited to pet beasts, high-grade scrolls, top-grade potions, etc. The final assessment completion rate is considered based on the assessment time, enemy strength, environment complexity, and other comprehensive data.
“Passing criteria: 80% completion
“Penalty for failure: End of assessment.”
As Elder Luo explained, Chu Feng’s eyes widened and he could not help but exclaim, “What?! Killing an A + rank with a C-rank body? And I’m not allowed to use external help? How is this possible! Can someone do this?!”
It was not that Chu Feng was afraid of a challenge.
It was because this request was too unbelievable!
Even someone as arrogant as Chu Feng had come to the Abyss this time only to increase his rank to A-rank as soon as possible.
Then, he would strengthen his bloodline and cultivate the Art of the Nine-wave Saber to the fifth or even sixth stage.
That way, he would be qualified to fight against an A + rank.
And this was merely a match!
To truly kill an A + rank, Chu Feng estimated that he would have to truly break through to the A + rank.
At the very least, he had to be at the high stage of the Spirit Transformation realm!
It was understandable.
The difference between an A + rank and someone below was too great!
Chu Feng had originally thought that if he was to do it after he underwent the Nine Metamorphoses of Spirit Transformation, he would already be remarkable.
After all, if he could really cross three ranks to kill an A + rank, there would be a hundredfold reward!
The points awarded for killing an A + was already very generous.
If suddenly increased by a hundred times…
Chu Feng did not dare to continue thinking!
And this, in Elder Luo’s words, was only average difficulty.
How unbelievable were these ancient geniuses!
“Elder Luo… Can I trouble you to ask how long it took the previous examinees to complete this assessment?”
Elder Luo thought for a moment and replied, “In my experience, the average time taken for this assessment is about ten years.”
Chu Feng’s eyes widened. “Could it be that I have to stay here for ten
years?”
“Of course not. Even the lowest level of the White-Level Assessment can take ages. With such a long time, naturally, I won’t let you stay here forever. You won’t be able to become a true expert even if you work hard.”
“Then when can I go out?”
Chu Feng asked.
Ten years was too long.
At that time, it would be too late!
“That will depend on you. At the very least, you will only be allowed to go out and look for prey when you are confident in killing an A + rank.”
“Work hard, little fellow. Don’t be dissatisfied. If you’re now a B-rank, you’ll have to kill the S-rank expert to pass. You’re lucky, little fellow. You’ve been suppressing your rank.”
Chu Feng was speechless.
As it turned out, the move he used to take advantage of the Golden Ranking Lists was more useful than expected.
Seeing Chu Feng’s worried expression, Elder Luo chuckled.
“Don’t worry. Since I’ve given you the goal of the assessment, I’ll naturally do my best to help you. This is also the reason why I exist.”
“Look, do you see this sea of bloodlines? It’s an Overgod-level existence that Master killed. He pulled out its tendons, drew its marrow, refined its blood essence, and gathered from countless precious treasures. It has all sorts of miraculous effects.
“Improving the bloodline, strengthening the body, healing, tempering the body, tempering the meridians, tempering the bones, tempering the marrow… the effects are limitless!
“You are to take the top-notch assessment, so there are no restrictions. As long as your body can withstand it, you can use it indefinitely.
“But you cannot take it away..
“The last time I woke up, I was still a little confused. I was actually fooled by you.” When Chu Feng heard this, he nearly jumped up in excitement. The bloodline essence that he coveted the most could actually be used limitlessly?? If that was the case, he was really confident that he could complete the assessment!
However, what shocked Chu Feng was not merely that.
Elder Luo said calmly, “Little fellow, don’t be anxious. This bloodline power is only a part of your cultivation. As the top-notch candidate, you have a series of systematic and perfect cultivation plans.
“For example… the ten Blood Shadow Warriors.
“Hey, come on out. You’ve got a job.”
As Elder Luo finished speaking, ten human figures suddenly condensed on the surface of the sea.
Elder Luo explained.
“Because you are a human, they have transformed into this form. These are all projections that they have condensed, and their true bodies are still sleeping. But even so, they have all reached the true peak of A + ranks in one aspect. However, because they’re not strong enough in other aspects, powerful A + ranks still have a chance to defeat them.” “Your mission is to defeat all of them in a short period of time under their guidance! In this way, you will be considered to have completed your preliminary training…”
