In the first shrine of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine, the fourth monster horde had completely revealed everyone's abilities.
The most powerful team in the first echelon consisted of those who dared to fight imperial-level monsters alone.
The chubby young man who killed the Frostyape Corpse in one hit was not the only one in this echelon.
The tall and skinny young man who wanted to fight with him had killed the Frostyape Corpse in one hit.
Besides the two people from Dynasty, there were three people from the Coalition government who also killed the Frostyape Corpse in one hit.
These five people were the most powerful on the human side.
Compared to them, although there were more members of the Witch Tribe, none of them fought the imperial-level monsters alone. Instead, they teamed up to kill the monsters. Nobody knew if they were hiding their abilities or if they were really weak.
The second echelon consisted of a few teams that hunted imperial-level monsters.
Each of the team members' abilities were on par with the imperial-level Frostyape Corpse. However, they did not choose to fight the monsters head-on. Instead, they teamed up to attack the Frostyape Corpse and killed it. Although it was not an instant kill, the efficiency was quite high. On average, they killed one monster in two to three minutes.
The third echelon consisted of teams that hunted imperial-level monsters. However, their abilities were obviously weaker than the second echelon. It was not easy to fight the Frostyape Corpse. They could barely kill one Frostyape Corpse every ten minutes.
The fourth echelon had completely given up on killing the Frostyape Corpse. They knew that they could not fight such monsters. Even if they could, they would not be able to kill ten of them within a limited time. Knowing that they were destined to be eliminated in this round, they did not bother to struggle anymore.
The fifth echelon was the weakest. They could barely fight against the monster horde and might be eliminated at any time. They had completely given up on the Frostyape Corpse. The imperial-level Frostyape Corpse could easily kill their entire team.
The fourth monster horde lasted longer than the previous three. More than two hours had passed, and there was no sign of it stopping.
Many of the teams in the fifth echelon were eliminated by the monster horde. Even some of the teams in the fourth echelon were eliminated.
The Beast Tide lasted until the fourth hour. The assessment had been open for ten hours before it finally ended.
After the countdown ended, the vast army of monsters all turned into specks of starlight and dissipated.
Wu Mo's voice was heard again in the air.
"In the first test, the number of people who have fulfilled all three conditions is 312. I'm sorry, but all the other challengers have been eliminated. "
"Those who have been eliminated don't have to try to enter the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine anymore. If you want to come in, you'll have to wait for the next opening of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine. "
As soon as Wu Mo finished her sentence, the bodies of the challengers who did not meet the conditions quickly disintegrated and soon disappeared from the snowy world.
In just a few seconds, less than one-tenth of the originally densely packed crowd was left.
Among the 312 people, most of them were still members of the Witch Tribe. There were only slightly more than 100 people from the Coalition government and Dynasty.
It was just the first stage of the assessment, but the elimination rate had already exceeded 90%. This caused many of the remaining people to raise their vigilance.
"Congratulations, you've passed the first stage of the test. Now, I'll send all of you to the Second Shrine. "
As the voice was heard, the 312 people felt like they were in a trance. Soon, they appeared in a shrine.
The entire shrine was extremely spacious. Apart from the surrounding pillars, the walls, and the dome, there was nothing else.
Just when everyone was looking around the shrine, Wu Mo's voice was heard again.
"There are Witchcraft Runes all over this shrine from the dome to the ground. Among them, only 200 of them are one-time Teleportation Runes that lead to the Third Shrine. If they're activated incorrectly, the runes will be destroyed instantly. If they're activated correctly, the runes will be destroyed automatically after the teleportation is initiated. "
Most of the human powerhouses had a slight change of expression when they heard Wu Mo's explanation.
"I'd like to remind you that apart from the 200 Teleportation Runes that lead to the Third Shrine, there's another 100 Teleportation Runes that lead to the outside of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine. If anyone of you is unfortunate enough to activate such a rune, you're welcome to come again the next time the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine is opened. "
Many of the Witch Tribe members had a grave expression on their faces when they heard that.
"The rules are simple. I'm sure all of you understand. If there's nothing else, the assessment for the Second Shrine will officially begin now. "
In the shrine, Witchcraft Runes began appearing from the dome. Within a few seconds, they covered the entire interior of the shrine.
Apart from the ground, even the pillars were engraved with Witchcraft Runes.
At a glance, there were more than 100,000 Witchcraft Runes.
It was obviously not an easy task to find 200 specific runes out of more than 100,000 runes.
More than 200 members of the Witch Tribe began to get busy as soon as the runes appeared.
On the human side, more than half of them looked dejected. Although the rest of them joined in the search, most of them had a bitter expression on their faces. Only a small number of people remained calm and immediately entered the state of mind.
In less than ten minutes since the start of the second test, a member of the Witch Tribe successfully activated the Teleportation Rune and disappeared from where he was. They had no idea if he was teleported to the Third Shrine or outside of the Sorcerer Goddess's Shrine.
However, as soon as the first person succeeded, the second and the third person who activated the Teleportation Rune appeared.
"Hehe, found one!" The plump young man from Dynasty stood in front of a rune and thought to himself for a moment. Then, he extended his finger and engraved the Activation Rune.
A moment later, his body was swept away by a white glow. In the next second, he disappeared from the shrine.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people in the Second Shrine.
The assessment of the Second Shrine had yet to end, but the first person who stepped into the Third Shrine had already begun the third assessment.
"The third assessment is called Grid Stepping. Every participant will be sent to an independent space. There are 3 x 100 grids on the ground in this space. The participant has to reach the end 100 grids away from the starting point. There's an Attack Rune on each grid, but there are real and fake Attack Runes. If you step on a real one, you'll be eliminated immediately. If you step on a fake one, you'll be fine. Some might be Trap Runes. Once you fall into a trap, you'll be eliminated immediately. "
"You can't fly or use Dimensional Manipulation in this stage. The participant can only step on the grid to his left, right, and front each time. You can't step back, step diagonally, or cross the grid. You can use Witchcraft Runes to break the runes on the grids. "
The assessment of the Third Shrine was obviously more difficult now!
