"All … died?" Ling Chen said in surprise.
"That's right." The middle-aged man slowly nodded: "The one who left this power is the senior 'War God' who founded the Hall of Heroic Spirits. He is publicly acknowledged as the person closest to Saint Destroyer strength in Forgotten Continent's history, and the only person to be crowned with the title of 'War God'. He is unrivalled in the world and is obsessed with martial arts. In his philosophy, to become a peak expert, one must pass through a true test of life and death. Senior War God's power is the first power left in the Hall of Heroic Spirits, but it has existed for a thousand years and no one has been able to inherit it. Within a thousand years, a total of six people have received the recognition of this power, but they all died in the test of strength. Perhaps, to pass the test of strength under a state of lower than LV15 is simply an impossible matter. "
The middle-aged man's expression was solemn as he seriously said: "Believe me, those six people are geniuses among geniuses. They were born on Forgotten Continent, and their initial strength is already far above yours. When they accepted the test, their strength was much stronger than yours. But they all died in the end … I know, you humans from another world will not truly die in this world. Even if you die, you will immediately revive, it's just that your strength will decrease. But, you must know, everyone only has one chance to enter the Hall of Heroic Spirits. If you fail, even if you receive the recognition of all the other powers, you will not have the qualifications to inherit any of them. You are a true genius, if you inherit any of the other ten powers, you can use its power to the extreme. You must not make the choice that you shouldn't make. "
Ling Chen silently nodded. The middle-aged man in black also immediately let out a small sigh of relief … He was really afraid that Ling Chen would take things too hard and choose the middle pillar. His talent is extremely astonishing, but his strength … If he entered, there would only be death.
Ling Chen moved a few steps to the left, seemingly wanting to ponder the information of these powers again. After taking three steps, he suddenly stopped, his gaze turning back to the middle pillar, his gaze fixed on it … After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "The power in this pillar, is it the strongest?"
The middle pillar's thickness is two to three times that of the other ten pillars.
"War God's power, naturally far surpasses the others, but …"
"Alright, I'll choose the one in the middle!" Ling Chen turned around, pointed at the pillar in the middle, and said expressionlessly.
"You …" The black-clothed middle-aged man furrowed his brows. "Did you not hear what I said?! I can confidently tell you that if you choose it, you won't have any chance of passing the trial of strength. You might even die halfway through the trial! Although you can resurrect after death, you will no longer have the chance to enter the Hall of Heroic Spirits to receive other inheritances of power! "
"I understand." Ling Chen nodded slightly. "But you also let me know that the power in the middle pillar is the strongest! As for me, I only pursue the strongest! No matter how terrifying the trial is, I still have to try! "
"..." The black-clothed middle-aged man raised his head slightly, his eagle-like eyes fixed on his face. "Should I admire your decisiveness, or should I laugh at your foolish overestimation of your abilities?"
"Even if I fail, I'll only lose a level. I won't regret it. But if I give up because of the 'danger' and 'impossibility' that you speak of, then I'll directly look down on myself. In my life, how many times have I turned the 'impossibility' into the 'truth'? You won't know! "Ling Chen said slowly. His resolute voice and expression also told the middle-aged man that this decision of his, would not change.
The black-clothed middle-aged man frowned as he looked at him, and was silent for a very long time. Then, he suddenly let out a long sigh … It was unknown whether he was sighing at Ling Chen's courage and conviction, or sighing at the fact that an absolute genius would once again be strangled in the trial of War God.
"Since this is your choice, then it's up to you." The black-clothed man said. "Your talent has already been recognized by it. If you want to accept the trial of strength, then, walk over, place your hand on the pillar, and then close your eyes … it will automatically send you to the mysterious trial ground. Afterwards, whether you succeed or fail, after enough time, it will send you back again. You, go. "
His expression seemed as if he had already seen the scene of him returning in failure, which also made Ling Chen understand even more just how frightening War God's trial was. He glanced at the pillar in the middle, and said: "Before this, can I first go and replenish my supplies? I basically have no more potions on me that can be used. "
The black-clothed middle-aged man's gaze slightly flashed. After a short while, he said: "According to the rules of the Hall of Heroic Spirits, those who come to attempt to accept the inheritance of strength can only enter once in their lifetime. After leaving here, they can't enter a second time … But, in view of your talent, I'll make an exception for you … I'll give you half an hour."
"Okay!!" Ling Chen nodded his head slightly, and efficiently rushed towards the direction of the door. Then, he pushed open the hall door, and quickly left.
Seeing Ling Chen's back disappear from his line of sight, the black-clothed middle-aged man's expression returned to being cold, and within the coldness was a slight disappointment. "Being recognized by eleven powers at the same time, it's unprecedented. His talent can be said to be unprecedented. If this matter were to spread out, it would be enough to shake the entire Forgotten Continent. But of all things, he chose War God's trial … Is it because he's young and impetuous, arrogant and impetuous, or … he actually has enough confidence … "
As soon as the Hall of Heroic Spirits' door opened, the seven class trainers who were standing at the door whispering to each other instantly focused their gazes on Ling Chen. They all stared, surprised at how he came out so quickly. But before they had the time to speak, they saw Ling Chen run away like a gust of wind, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The seven class trainers were instantly dumbfounded, each and every one of them looking at each other, not knowing what had happened.
Ling Chen sprinted all the way, rushing straight to the item store. He spent 20 gold coins to buy 200 bottles of yellow potions, and then spent 30 gold coins to buy 300 bottles of dark blue potions. After thinking for a bit, he continued to buy 100 bottles of dark blue potions. In the early stages of the game where gold coins were extremely scarce, there really weren't many people who dared to buy magic potions like him. These potions only took up one slot in his backpack for 200 bottles. Afterwards, he spent another 10 gold coins to buy 10 City Return Scrolls. Glancing at the remaining gold coins, he gritted his teeth and took it all out, buying an elementary strength crystal (attack + 6%), an elementary speed crystal (movement speed + 6%), an elementary critical strike crystal (critical strike rate + 2%), and an elementary pierce crystal (pierce rate + 4%).
After throwing down over 800 gold coins, the originally huge pile of money on him was only left with a measly 30 or so gold coins.
Walking around the item store and the surrounding various shops, he didn't find anything else that could assist him in battle. Glancing at the time, he quickly ran in the direction of the Hall of Heroic Spirits.
"Hey!!! You brat, just what … "
Whoosh!
Bang!!
The seven class trainers saw him run over from far away. They didn't even finish half a sentence before Ling Chen scuttled past them like the wind, entering the Hall of Heroic Spirits and closing the door on the way. The seven class trainers who were ignored were once again dumbfounded.
"Have you really decided?" Seeing Ling Chen return, the black clothed middle-aged man didn't give up and asked.
"Yes, I've decided. Let's go over now. "As Ling Chen spoke, he walked straight to the front of the central pillar. Then he extended his hand and pressed towards the glowing pillar.
"Wait a moment." The black clothed middle-aged man suddenly spoke out to stop him. Ling Chen's movements stopped, turning around to look at him.
"Maybe our thoughts are too conservative. Maybe I should look forward to some possibility, or should I say a miracle, and not blindly stop you." The black clothed middle-aged man walked in front of him, his gaze dark and silent. He extended his hand, handing over a small and exquisite package to Ling Chen: "Take this, your talent is enough to move the heavens and earth. And the talent you possess, maybe it shouldn't be called talent … That should be obtained after experiencing hard work or training that normal people can't imagine. If it's like this, then perhaps, you really have the possibility of creating a miracle. So, I look forward to your successful return … These things, I hope they can be of some help to you. "
Ling Chen looked up at him, took the package, nodded slightly and said: "Thank you."
Then he turned around, stood in front of the pillar, extended his right hand and pressed on the pillar.
Immediately, a ball of silver light was released from the central pillar, wrapping around Ling Chen's body. In the next second, it took Ling Chen and disappeared from the Hall of Heroic Spirits.
The scene before Ling Chen's eyes quickly changed, when he opened his eyes, all he saw was darkness, a strong smell of decay assaulted his nose.
"Ding … You have arrived at the hidden map 'War God's Trial Grounds'."
The rotting smell was so strong that Ling Chen couldn't help but hold his breath as he looked at where he was. This was an incomparably old stone room, the smell of decay proved that no one had been here for many years. Rotten things covered the ground and walls here, other than this, the only thing placed in this stone room was the stone statue in the innermost part, and the metal box connected to the stone statue.
Huh? Box?
Ling Chen took a step, walked towards the metal box, and then tentatively reached out his hand to touch it. And just as his hand was about to touch the metal box, a voice suddenly came from the stone statue in front of him.
"Very good … Finally, another person has come here."
Ling Chen's movements immediately stopped, he took a step back, and said in a low voice: "Who are you?"
But the voice in his ear didn't pay attention to what he said, and continued to say: "To be able to come here, it means that your talent has been recognized by the power I left behind, and you have the qualifications to inherit half of my power … But it is only half. If you want to inherit my power, go to the end of this space, and obtain the only key in this space to open the box you see. But in this space, there are many dangers that can endanger your life. If you don't have enough courage, courage, and awareness, then stop your steps. As long as you stay in this room for more than ten minutes, the power I left behind will naturally send you out. "
