10 Ancestral Trial of the Shadow Assassin. (1/2)
In a certain village 12.1 Kilometers east of the city, there were currently 7 people on the place where the 4 magnificent looking statues stood.
These people were David, The female soldier, Juliana Zheng, Xiao Long, Xiao Xue'er and their sons Xiao Yao and Xiao Che.
David, on the other hand, placed the token at the ground and said ”activate” then a blue pane appeared in front of David as it said
”Will you use the ” Priest statue token”? Caution, Once the token is used it will automatically disappear.”
David replied with a ”Yes” and suddenly a statue rose up from the ground causing it to tremble yet not affecting the ground in any way.
Soon the whole body of the priest statue was shown and it was magnificent, unlike the others, it had a woman's figure and it was holding a staff that was radiating a soothing feeling.
David let Xiao Xue'er be the first to change into a priest profession, Xiao Xue'er went to the statue and did what she was told to do.
Unlike the transformation of others, she was showered in white light that excluded holiness from the sky and there was a small black and white figure that went down from the sky and entered her brows.
Moments later her unique transformation had finished. She opened her eyes but her eye color changed from dark brown to gray.
Like what David usually does after a class change he used identification on her.

”This Holy Devil God is quite helpful, He gave her a unique blessing and skills and he even increased her talents from Demi-God and Saint to Mid-God and Low-God that most Gods can't do.” David said in his mind and he continued
”But as a person who almost ruined the Divine realm how come I had never heard of this God before. Is he one of the 72 Gods that were always in seclusion or those Ancient ones.” David said in his mind as he clicked his tongue.
David soon let Juliana change her class but there were no remarkable things to comment on but the God that blessed her was a Healing God which enhanced her healing efficiency by 50%.
David told them to not wear the default armor of the professions but instead use their military uniforms and only use it when it is needed because there are people like before who lules to stir up trouble, he asked Xiao Che to call Michael and tell him to bring the profession token and the prince token. Moments later Michael arrived as he brought the token and the dagger.
”Dav-” before Michael could even say his name David already interrupted him and seeing David talking so seriously made him silent as he listened to the word of David.
”Michael, This token is one of the Special Professions that has limited profession slots of 100 meaning it is one of the strongest special professions, most of the special professions don't need tests or trials to get but this one and it also comes with the enemies that had enmity with the previous users of the profession, if one of them knows that you are a Shadow Assassin they would come after you with all their might, but the realm boundary between the mortal realm and other realms are weakening.”
”It will be up to you if you will undergo a special profession change but beware that this kind of special profession will be all about killing so you will need to steel your mind. From what I know, after using this token, it will transfer your soul into a vessel inside the mind space, and inside this mind space, you will get to choose trials that were made by the first shadow assassin but failing to complete the trial destroys your soul.
”There are 50 normal trials, 30 elite trials, 19 Master Trials, these 99 trials are those of no conditions of entering but there is a special trial called the ”Ancestral Trial” that has a requirement before entering and the old man that gave me his memories did not know what is the conditions for the trial, but what I speculate is that the Dagger of shadows itself is the requirement to enter the trial.”
After saying this David was silent and Michael digested this information but his complexion grows gloomy with each passing second. Around 20 seconds later he turned to David with eyes full of determination and said ”I will undergo the trial.”
David sighed and said ”Hold the token with one hand and the other touching the statue then say ”Activate” but beware it will instantly move your soul to the mind space because there is no confirmation for this kind of special profession. Remember to focus on the task at hand and always be decisive and if the situation is bad I would recommend that you fall back and wait for an opportunity. .”
Michael nodded as he walked to the statue with the token in hand and touched the statue then said ”Activate” and his body suddenly turned lifeless as he stood in place.

Michael POV
------------:3----------------------------------------------------
I am standing in front of this Beast Man, A panther beast-man, that was exerting pressure on me because of this I can't move nor talk and the feeling of death kept looming over me.
”Welcome mortal to the Death Shadow Hall.”
”Let me introduce myself, I am Revo Zel Kerr, The manager of the Death Shadow Hall.”
”Completing the trials lets you change your profession into a Shadow Assassin but there are a total of 99 trials in here, 50 of which are Common Tier Shadow Assassin trial, 30 of which are Elite Tier Shadow Assassin trial, and the last 19 are Master Tier Shadow Assassin.”
”Yes, I know what you are thinking. ” Why are there only 99 trials?” because that last single trial is not for anyone.”
The beast-man snapped his finger and the pressure that kept me in place disappeared and we teleported to a place where there were 5-meter large gates with runes that many of which are black and some are white.
I asked the beast-man ”Why are those gates dark in color and why are some white?” The beast-man did not turn back but a sound was heard in his mind ”Those dark gates meant that the trial or specifically the profession contained in them are already in use.”
We walked and walked until we reached the gates that were colored Orange instead of white and they were 2 times bigger than those white gates. The same sound was heard in his mind ”These are the Elite Trials, you may take them now or follow me to the master trials.”
However, I did not move but instead moved forward and the beast-man's voice was heard again ”Very well.” and he instantly teleported in front of me.
Time passed as we both had arrived at the point where red-colored 20-meter large gates appeared but most of them were dark, We kept walking until we reached the end where there was a single gate that still had white runes. I, however, did not stop but instead continued to walk the hall.
