Death… And Me

Chapter 1651 End of the First Test

Suddenly, numerous flashes of silver light began to exit the spatial gate that was used to enter the Deep Sea Monster Assault test. It had been a normal occurrence so far since many people crushed their badges to flee from there. However, this time there was just a lot of them.

Thatʼs because the week of the test was over. Naturally, everyone was teleported outside the Dimensional Realm area, just like the others who failed previously.

Everyone looked around and immediately cheered for joy.

”We did it!”

”Holy shit! My dantian is completely empty!”

”You think youʼre the only one like that? My demon core is drier than sand!”

”Just another hour in that place, and I would be forced to leave.”

Reanʼs group was in a much better condition, though. ”Hahaha! See? I told you that we would have no issues with our Divine Energy consumption.”

Erla, Min, and Habac were ecstatic! ”I canʼt believe we passed the first test that easily!”

”Thatʼs because of Rean, of course!” Habac mentioned.

Min and Erla nodded as they looked at Rean, saying, ”We donʼt know how you did it, but that was the key to our success. Thank you!”

Rean shook his head, telling them in response, ”You talk as if I could have resisted on my own forever. It was thanks to everyoneʼs efforts that we got to the end. Erla kept the right distance from the monsters without ever leaving the pre-determined area. Min and Habacʼs low consumption but highly effective attacks disrupted most of the monstersʼ ranged attacks. Lastly, any attacks that passed through the first defense were stopped by my Reversive Arcs. It was a team effort in the end.”

On Roanʼs side, Krikei went straight to the thing he was most curious about. ”Just what was that energy in your scythe? It wasnʼt Space Power or Divine Energy. However, it made your attacks just as powerful.”

Lita and Vrieʼs attention was caught after that. They took longer to notice it, but they also understood that Roanʼs attacks had something extra in there too. ”Indeed! We felt like you could slice through anything with that shit.”

Roan shook his head, saying, ”This is something I came up with. Itʼs also possible to use with any other weapon, but it canʼt be taught. You need to learn it on your own. Thatʼs all I can say.”

Krikeiʼs group narrowed their eyes for a moment. However, Roan had been this secretive all the time until now. It wasnʼt anything new. ”Fine, just make sure youʼre ready for the next test next month.”

Roan nodded in response. ”I also want to enter Jhiod, so that goes without saying.”

Celis and Kentuckyʼs group were a lot more straightforward. They didnʼt use anything impressive. The only thing was that they were strong. Simple as that. Naturally, they also agreed to join forces for the next test.

Suddenly, a man appeared above everyone in the hall. ”Congratulations to those who completed the test. Your badges have been recorded in the sect, so you donʼt need to do anything. We know who passed the test and who didnʼt. For those who failed, you can simply try it next year.”

Soon after, he waved his sleeve as several purple-colored badges flew in different directions. Soon, they landed in the hands of a few cultivators and demon beasts.

Rean and Roan could see jealousy in the eyes of pretty much everyone who looked at those purple-colored badges. It wasnʼt hard to tell what those badges meant after looking at the happy expressions on their ownerʼs faces.

Sure enough, the man continued, ”Also, congratulations to the 37 participants that have now concluded all 12 tests after the Deep Sea Monster Assault was over. You have all acquired the right to enter Jhiod Continent and join the Jhiod Sect. If you want, you can do that straight away by talking with the Jhiod Sect workers in the transfer room.”

He continued, ”As for the rest, I hope I can see even more of you pass the next test and complete all 12 tests.”

Rean and Roan nodded after hearing that. ʼSo thatʼs the proof that you passed all tests. Itʼs quite simple.ʼ

Rean then mentioned, ʼI expected this test to be extremely hard due to the number of cultivators and demon beasts that succeeded. However, it was relatively easy.ʼ

Roan disagreed with Rean. ʼIt wasnʼt. This was a resistance test, and I have to admit they did a very, very good job with it. This is definitely a very hard test. Itʼs just that we had that cheat code called World Swallowing Cedar. Without Celis, even the two of us would have struggled to pass this test.ʼ

ʼWell, thatʼs true.ʼ Rean agreed that much. ʼStill, donʼt you think it to be strange? The system is giving us such a huge reward to complete all twelve tests. If itʼs this easy for us, donʼt you feel like thereʼs something else?ʼ

Sister Orb was the one to answer that question. [There isnʼt.]

Naturally, the twinsʼ attention was caught by those words. ʼHow do you know?ʼ

[Because of Celis.] Sister Orb answered. [Celis wasnʼt supposed to be part of the connection between the two of you, remember? It was nothing but a coincidence that it happened. The system calculated the chances of you passing the tests without Celisʼ power. After all, the system exists for you, not for him nor Kentucky.]

ʼOh!ʼ Rean was happy to hear that. ʼSo thatʼs how it is. It didnʼt include Celis in its predictions.ʼ

Roan warned Rean, though. ʼDonʼt get ahead of yourself. Celisʼ Divine Energy supply can definitely help. However, do you think all the tests will be like this one, simple resistance?ʼ

Reanʼs happiness immediately vanished after that. ʼYou truly know how to ruin oneʼs mood, donʼt you?ʼ

ʼDid I ruin your mood? Then, thatʼs good.ʼ Roan obviously couldnʼt care less about how Rean felt.

Rean ignored the guy and immediately looked at the next test. Of course, each test only happened once per month. Since the previous one only lasted one week, the next one wouldnʼt start so soon. ʼSoul Land, huh?ʼ
