Chapter 529: Tortoise Boundary’s Apparition (1/2)
Chapter 529: Tortoise Boundarys Apparition
Huang Xiaolong nodded.
After auctioning a piece of divine grade spirit stone, it would definitely be sufficient to supply him with enough peak half-step God Realm beast cores until he reached half-step God Realm.
Despite the fact that auctioning a divine grade spirit stone would attract attraction and cause a stir, Huang Xiaolong couldn't be bothered at the moment. Well, he would just ‘change’ into another face before heading to the auction house.
Huang Xiaolong proceeded to enter the Black Warrior City. Sadly, to enter Black Warrior City, each person was required to pay one thousand Xuanwu coins. Generally speaking, one need not give any Xuanwu coins to enter most cities other than the cities built by the twenty-three super forces. But then again, the Black Warrior City did set the highest fee of all. Although one thousand Xuanwu coins wasn’t much to Huang Xiaolong, to any average Tenth Order Saint realm expert it was akin to a piece of their flesh.
Walking into the city, Huang Xiaolong headed towards the registration area for the Black Warrior Institute. The registration area was located at the Central District of the Black Warrior City, at a place called the Hall of Heroes.
Three days later, Huang Xiaolong walked into the Hall of Heroes.
Even though the Hall of Heroes was a ‘hall’ by name, its land area was larger than an imperial city on the Martial Spirit World many times over. By the time Huang Xiaolong reached the doors, the front portion was packed with people bustling about.
With less than a year remaining to the day of assessment, the registration of participants was already opened, hence, top talents and family geniuses from all over Black Tortoise Galaxy had made their way over to process their registration.
Crossing over the Hall of Heroes’ front door threshold, a large square came into sight, but something at a corner of the square caught Huang Xiaolong’s attention. A crowd was hovering over something interesting.
“That’s the ten thousand year Tortoise Boundary,” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi explained. “A formation carved by a primeval great master that can test your aptitude and strength.”
Test one’s aptitude and strength! Huang Xiaolong was stunned.
“How about it, want to give it a try?” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi enticed.
Huang Xiaolong was tempted.
He very much wanted to know where his talent and strength stood. But, if he was tested in public, wouldn’t that expose his talent and strength to everyone?
As if knowing Huang Xiaolong’s worry, Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi laughed, “During the test, you can suppress half the aura inside you, moreover, your True Dragon Physique has a hidden nature. You can totally hide your true strength during the test, and then regauge your talent and strength based on the result.”
Huang Xiaolong nodded. This was also considered a way.
“This ten thousand year Tortoise Boundary is meant to help participants gauge their chances of passing the Black Warrior Institute’s assessment before they register.” Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi went on, “In general, they have a hope of passing the assessment if they get 1000 points and above.”
As Dragon Emperor Ao Taiyi explained, Huang Xiaolong already reached the crowd of people, joining the queue. Since he was already here, the registration could wait a while. However, the family disciples that wanted to test themselves were a staggering number, just in front of Huang Xiaolong were five to six hundred people.
As the test results were announced one after another, the surroundings erupted with either mocking sneers or exclamations of surprise. Of course, jealous and envious stares were thrown in from time to time.
“Talent-892, strength-983!”
“983, the strength is very close to 1000. There’s hope in passing the assessment, which family does he belong to?”
“Seems like someone from the Iro World’s Luo Family!”
When a young man in azure robes walked out from the test altar, it raised a commotion among the spectating crowd. In ten thousand people who took the test, only a scarce few were able to exceed 900. Whenever a disciple’s test result was close to 1000, it would draw exclamations and jealous stares from the crowd.
That Luo Family disciple left the square under a multitude of envious stares with his head held high and chest puffed up toward the Hall of Heroes registration location.
Huang Xiaolong was excited. Although the Iro World’s Luo Family wasn’t one of Black Tortoise Galaxy’s twenty-three super forces, it was however, one of the first rank forces. The Luo Family, together with the Yi Family, controlled more than nine-tenths of the Iro World’s forces.
In the ten thousand planets ranking, it was placed close to a hundred.
