Many people were angered to the point their entire bodies trembled when they heard this, and they gnashed their teeth. They wished for nothing more than to charge forward and chop the puppet into two. However, no one dared to act rashly because the puppet's words and attitude had clearly displayed that they could only allow themselves to be trampled upon here!
You think the test is unfair? Fine, die!
You think the puppet is too cruel? Fine, die!
You think there's something fishy going on? You think you can die!
No matter how much they questioned or expressed their dissatisfaction, there was only one outcome for them, and that was to be mercilessly obliterated by the puppet!
This wasn't the first time the puppet had displayed its cruelty and indifference! Once again, all the Immortals in the square knew that they had no right to question anything here.
Therefore, even if they felt that there was too much injustice here, no one dared to express any opinions. They could only force themselves to swallow their anger!
And then … Xiao Chen was out of luck.
Yes, that's right, Xiao Chen was out of luck.
Because the fellows here didn't dare to vent their anger on the puppet, but they dared to vent it on Xiao Chen!
In their opinion, Xiao Chen must have secretly made some unspeakable deal with the puppet to become the only one to successfully stand in front of the stone pillar. Otherwise, how could he have succeeded so easily?
Therefore, he instantly became the target of public criticism. Almost everyone looked at Xiao Chen with murderous eyes, wishing they could tear Xiao Chen into a thousand pieces.
However, none of them thought about how, with Xiao Chen's strength, he could have made a deal with the puppet here!
However, when people were angry, they lost their rationality and didn't think about anything else. Right now, their hearts were filled with anger and they only wanted to vent it. Naturally, Xiao Chen became the target of their anger.
Although they didn't dare to make a move now, nor did they dare to question how Xiao Chen was able to succeed, they had already made up their minds. When the assessment was over, they would definitely teach Xiao Chen a lesson!
Time passed bit by bit. The last few moments became the most torturous moment for the immortals. On one side, they were furious. On the other side, they were unwilling to accept this. They were furious that Xiao Chen had actually used some secret methods to cheat, and they were unwilling to accept that they could only fail. This was especially so for the geniuses of the major powers. They were also unwilling to accept that a nameless fellow like Xiao Chen had obtained the first place in the first test.
Finally, three days had passed. Apart from Xiao Chen, no one else in the plaza could successfully reach the stone pillar.
Just when everyone thought that this was the final result, they saw the puppet point its finger!
The names of the people at the back were pointed out by the puppet at the same time.
"Very good. You were able to reach this place without the help of any magic treasures or external forces. Although you are still far from the stone pillar, it shows that your comprehension is not bad. This time, you can be considered to have passed the assessment. Although you won't receive the official reward for passing the assessment, you can still get some consolation prizes!"
The puppet pointed at the immortals who were still in a daze, and said indifferently, "You're right.
Xiao Chen wasn't surprised, because he knew the purpose of the assessment from the beginning. Moreover, the people pointed out by the puppet were the ones who hadn't used the power of any magic treasures or external forces. They had relied on their own strength to advance!
Obviously, these fellows knew from the beginning that they were far inferior to those geniuses in terms of Dharma treasures. Therefore, they did not use the power of their Dharma treasures. Instead, they aimed to improve themselves, so they adapted to the pressure!
They wanted to improve themselves under this pressure. Therefore, this was a blessing in disguise, and they received the puppet's praise.
This instantly made the other immortals in the plaza dumbfounded!
"What, what's going on?"
No one understood what the puppet meant. These guys obviously didn't succeed, and they were even further away than them. How could it say that they had passed the assessment?
The people involved were also dumbfounded. Just as Xiao Chen thought, they just wanted to improve themselves as much as possible under this pressure, so they didn't use any external forces to advance.
During this process, they did feel something special, which was why their progress became smoother and smoother. However, they were still far from the end. They didn't expect the puppet to think that they had passed the assessment. Although they couldn't really get the generous reward for passing the assessment, getting a consolation prize was indeed out of everyone's expectations!
"This, this … Thank you for your kindness, senior!" After recovering from their stupor, they all bowed deeply toward the puppet in unison and spoke with great gratitude.
"What's going on?" The others were completely dumbfounded.
However, with the previous example, no one dared to ask the puppet anything at this moment.
The puppet used some unknown method to bring the people in front of it to stand together with Xiao Chen!
"Your talents are not bad, and your comprehension is not bad, but you're still a little lacking. Although I have high hopes for you, unfortunately, rules are rules. This is your reward, so I hope you'll behave yourselves! Work hard in the future! "The puppet didn't reward Xiao Chen first, but instead waved its hand and rewarded the people.
As for what the reward was, Xiao Chen didn't know, and neither did the others. This was because each person had a space ring fly in front of them, and the reward was not visible.
Then, the puppet looked at Xiao Chen, and a faint smile appeared on its face. "You're not bad! Even when Master left this assessment, he didn't think that someone would really be able to gain such great benefits from it. Therefore, you now have two choices! "
"Please enlighten me, senior!" Xiao Chen cupped his hands, appearing very courteous.
"First, I will reward you according to the normal reward, with an additional 50%!"
"Second, if you give up on the reward for this round, you'll get an additional chance to try again after failing in the third round of the assessment!"
After the puppet finished speaking, it looked at Xiao Chen with a smile. "Let's see what you'll choose. I have to remind you that the prerequisite for the second choice is that you have the confidence to enter the third round of the assessment! "
"This …" Xiao Chen was stunned. He didn't expect the puppet to give him two completely different choices, and the difference was so great!
The first choice was undoubtedly the best from a logical point of view. After all, apart from the normal reward, there was an additional 50%, which was obviously very generous.
