After reading the rules of the trial, a brooding expression settled on Fallen Star’s face.

‘There are a total of 3000 compet.i.tors. I’ve been teleported into the trial s.p.a.ce, which means screening for the compet.i.tors in this trial is non-discriminatory. Even partic.i.p.ants from the G.o.d Territory are eligible to partic.i.p.ate.

‘If my guess is right, the first condition in the screening is that the person must be a sword cultivator; secondly, considering how there’s a restriction on combat strength, the next condition should be that the sword cultivator is below True G.o.d and eligible to obtain Sword Dao Inheritance. As for the third condition, it’s most likely that after conducting a preliminary ranking of all qualified sword cultivators, they chose 3000 people based on ability ranking. a.s.suming that this is the screening method used, Xie Lin, Twin, and Destiny should be all here too.

‘Thanks to Master Buried Heaven’s great insight, all four of us from Death Sickle who’ve been sent to the Great Heaven Territory this time are sword cultivators.’

When Fallen Star thought about the number of sword cultivators sent into the Territory by other organizations, her lips involuntarily curved into a smile.

As there had been no news at all about the Great Heaven inheritance for the entire year, most organizations in the G.o.d Territory had treated the Great Heaven Territory as a typical trial venue. Among the dozens of cultivators sent in from some of the Grade-7 organizations, there might be only one sword cultivator.

‘Hmm, but if my a.s.sumptions are correct, that fellow from Combat G.o.d Temple must have been teleported here too…” A face suddenly flashed through Fallen Star’s mind and her expression became grave.

‘That fellow’ whom she mentioned was the number one Virtual G.o.d powerhouse in Combat G.o.d Temple—Shen Wushuang, who was also the number one super Genius on the Virtual G.o.d ranking list in the G.o.d Territory.

As a fellow sword cultivator, Fallen Star had fought him a few times and she had never yet managed to defeat him. Her instincts told her that Shen Wushuang’s Sword Dao might have elevated to the state of True Meaning.

‘If Xie Lin encounters him as an opponent, I wonder who’d win…’

Fallen Star let her train of thought run wild for a moment before quickly collecting herself and continuing to a.n.a.lyze the rules of the trial.

‘Defeating one BOSS will give me 100 c.u.mulative points. This means the BOSS must be extremely powerful. I’d probably need to team up before I can hunt one down. The rules didn’t say that we’re not allowed to form teams. In a way, they’ve acquiesced to us doing so.

‘c.u.mulative points are non-transferrable and indivisible. They’ve managed to apply some form of restriction on teaming up, in that sense. Yet, if all teammates have great trust in each other, this rule won’t be an obstacle.

‘The three sword cultivators from Combat G.o.d Temple should be eligible for the trial this time. If they b.u.mp into each other, they might form a small team with Shen Wushuang as their leader and a.s.sist Shen Wushuang in acc.u.mulating points.

‘Four sword cultivators from G.o.d Capital are partic.i.p.ating in this time’s trial. However, based on the temperament of those Pure Blood Protoss from G.o.d Capital, the chances of them working together are fairly remote. That’s one thing I don’t have to worry about.

‘Precious Treasure Pavilion only sent one sword cultivator. That’s another that I don’t have to worry about.

‘So far, it seems like Divine Clapnet and Xeno are the only ones strong enough to compete. The former sent five sword cultivators while the latter sent six of them. As an intel organization, Divine Clapnet’s organizational and planning skills are shockingly good. Meanwhile, as Xeno is where the non-Pure Bloods gather, their sense of unity is something other organizations can’t beat. The highest possibility is probably that these two organizations successfully team up.

‘However, right now no one knows how big this trial s.p.a.ce actually is. After all, the trial will only last ten days. If the s.p.a.ce is big enough, there’s still the possibility of not encountering anyone from the same organization.’

After thoroughly a.n.a.lyzing the likelihood of the seven organizations teaming up, Fallen Star suddenly realized that she had greatly underestimated the difficulty of this trial.
