C33 (2/2)
”Thank you for your praise, senior.” Zhou Xian`er's eyes lit up as she bowed. To be able to receive such an evaluation from the old man, her confidence in the inheritance had increased by a lot.
”There's nothing to thank me for. I'm just trying to make a point.” However, I must remind you, that old fellow was extremely arrogant when he was still alive, so the inheritance he left behind is not something that can be easily obtained. Even though you have a great advantage, you must not let your guard down, and I cannot interfere in this clan's trial, otherwise, I will be able to help you out a little.
”Senior, thank you for your reminder. Junior will do his best.” Zhou Xian`er had a resolute expression on her face as she smiled faintly.
Compared to the joyous conversation over here, Zhou Jun, who was standing not far away, had an ashen face. Especially when he heard the old man's evaluation of the inheritance, the hatred in his heart grew even higher. Naturally, he had quite a few thoughts regarding the inheritance. Even though his heart was filled with intense hatred, he knew that this was not the time to display it. Hence, on the surface, he did not attract anyone's attention.
”Alright, let's not talk too much. Now let me tell you about the seventh trial.”
After conversing with Zhou Xian`er, the elder's expression changed. Twisting his beard lightly, he said, ”For this stage, I plan to give you guys a chance. However, whether or not you guys can grasp it will all depend on yourselves.”
After he finished speaking, under everyone's gaze, the old man waved his hand and a black light flashed. Immediately, a large blank picture scroll appeared in front of everyone.
”This is a Dao manual, a treasure created by an ancient supreme elder using his own Tao technique. This treasure has a special function, and that is to be able to fuse any two Origin Skills that do not exceed the Spiritual Tier High Rank, forming an even more powerful new Origin Skill.”
”This is your trial. The time limit is three days. Everyone must create a new Origin Skill and learn it. The successful person will pass the trial and be eliminated if they fail.”
The old man gave a general explanation of the rules of the trial. Then, he glanced at everyone and asked, ”These are the rules of the trial. Do you have any other questions?”
After listening to the old man's story, everyone had a look of contemplation in their eyes, but no one replied immediately. They all understood that this piece of information was of great importance.
The more powerful an Origin Skill was, the more it would increase one's battle prowess. If what the old man said was true, then this scroll in front of them could fuse any two Origin Skills together to form an even more powerful Origin Skill. This enticement was enough to make anyone envious.
Three days was not too long, and to comprehend a high grade Origin Skill in such a short period of time required an extremely monstrous talent in order to do so. On this point, the crowd was not so confident, as once they lost, they would be eliminated.
”Senior, as long as you learn any two Origin Skills, you will be able to pass the test?” Regardless of rank? ” After figuring out the crux of the matter, Zhou Jun couldn't help but ask. Although he knew that the old man before him didn't like him, in order to complete the trial, he could only muster the courage to understand the rules.
”That's right. I've said it before, this stage is a chance for you. As for whether you want to grasp it or not, that is up to you. Your choice is the key to determining your harvest.” The old man nodded and replied in an indifferent manner.
Hearing this, everyone completely understood the purpose of this trial. It was to let everyone choose their own trial difficulty. If one wanted to obtain more, they would have to face greater risks. Of course, the most important factor was one's talent and comprehension ability.
”The design of this trial is quite ingenious.” After clearing his mind, Cang Yun exclaimed in his heart. He knew that this kind of trial seemed simple, almost anyone could pass it, but the difficulty of concealment was the greatest, because at some point in time, temptation was even more terrifying than desperation.
In the next moment, the old man seemed to have sensed the fearful emotions of the crowd. After musing for a moment, he said: ”How about this, in order to make this trial more interesting. As long as one of you is able to reach a degree that satisfies me, I will give him an additional pretty good reward.”
”Additional rewards?”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. Although the elder did not specify what the reward was, strength determined one's eyesight. Since everyone said it was a 'good' item, it was likely quite extraordinary. This caused everyone's emotions to once again surge.
However, in response to this, Cang Yun was slightly pleasantly surprised before he swiftly calmed down. Although these benefits appeared to be one after the other, the reality was that they were enticing and enticing. If he was unable to resist them and made a choice that surpassed his own ability, the consequences would be self-evident.
”Do you still have any questions?”
The old man glanced over everyone. After seeing that no one had moved, he nodded and waved his hand: ”Since that's the case, then the seventh trial will now begin!”
Weng! *
As the old man's voice faded, the Dao scroll floating in the air suddenly trembled. Following which, a powerful suction force descended upon everyone, instantly sucking them into the space within the Dao scroll.
