Two doors had appeared, one behind him, and the other in front of him

Daniel closed his eyes once more, then started to emanate a faint veil of spiritual essence from his body After a moment of focus, this colorless spiritual essence took the shape of hundreds of s that roa” Was the only word that Daniel ed to mutter

A profoundessence Daniel's gains were already more than any other participant could have hoped

After a deep breath, Daniel thought ”Alright, let's see what's further down” he then entered the second room

This second room, was just as si pyra spheres, there was a set of small tables

Each table was identical, but they all had different characteristics, which associated them with the various basic eleht red shi+ne, one who seemed to be made of plain steel, and another which appeared to be es with bars spaced just enough to grant a peek inbetween, and above each of these cages, a plain looking orb floated steadily

Froe bars, Daniel could see senius for someone to understand the point of this test First, comprehension of an essence, then, to test one's abilities

Daniel approached the table forht emanated He then put his hand on the orb, and started to push spiritual essence into it Lastly, he turned the spiritual essence into lightning essence

A s slowly as time went by

There were no reactions to the orb at first, but then, theessence, the more unstable the orb became

Daniel quickly opened the box, but what he saw inside, wasn't an essence treasure It was ato Daniel, was that this wasn't a randoh level monster core Instead, it was a peak rank 4 e of spiritual cultivation

He was sure that, in he consuht here and now, he would be able to advance to the fifth rank The reason why Daniel hadn't advanced to the fifth rank, wasn't because he lacked the beast cores, after all his teachers had given him half a hundred of rank 4 beast cores alone The reason was because he simply hadn't found the chance yet
