Endless Forest

The War Tyrant stood in the center of the corpses of dozens of Spiritualists, with raging fire and fallen giant trees as the backdrop, traces of battle were everywhere.

[Sequence-First]

Divine Monarch, Level 4 Legendary, Score 10500 points

Among the Spiritualists he killed, there were those who had taken out other Spiritualists and gotten points, so the final score exceeded ten thousand.

[Hint: You have met the required score, the trial is completed, immediate teleportation to Celestial Ladder Arena - Rest Area]

The sensation of spatial teleportation suddenly arrived, Ye Mingqiu lowered his eyes and thought: Is it so fast? Could it be... the Spirit Realm is afraid that if I continue to stay here, it would cause other Spiritualists to fail the trial, thus affecting the subsequent tests?

Tsk!

Do they need to guard against me like this?

I’m not a bad person...

Ye Mingqiu scoffed, leaving the world in the light of teleportation, his rank also disappearing from the scoreboard.

....

Celestial Ladder Arena - Rest Area

In a futuristic white room, Ye Mingqiu’s figure suddenly appeared. He briefly adapted to the sensation of spatial teleportation and instinctively looked around the surroundings.

[Hint: The rest area is a safe zone, within this area, Spiritualists are protected by the Spirit Realm]

Protection?

Ye Mingqiu’s gaze slightly brightened. If doing something dangerous in the safe zone, such as directly adding Talent Points without supplements, would this protection convert to his Life Value? Would it ensure safety?

[Hint: Spirit Realm’s will only guarantees Spiritualists from external harm]

"Oh~"

Ye Mingqiu felt a bit disappointed, but this was normal. The Spirit Realm’s will isn’t a nanny for Spiritualists, it’s more lenient and friendly during Tier One.

At Tier Two, the difficulty of tasks given by the Spirit Realm’s will increases greatly, and the punishment for failure also rises accordingly. Spiritualists who built their foundations poorly, aren’t strong enough, and whose thinking still lingers in Tier One are likely to be crushed by reality, eventually staying forever in Tier Two or perishing.

Tier One is actually the beginner protection period given by the Spirit Realm’s will. The vast majority of Spiritualists will accumulate their foundation as much as possible at the Tier One Limit, which is a situation allowed by the Spirit Realm.

Does the rest area refer to inside the room, or is the area outside the room also considered a rest area? Ye Mingqiu questioned.

[Answer: Non-combat areas within the Celestial Ladder Arena are all safe zones]

Understood.

Ye Mingqiu nodded and then directly pushed open the door to leave the white room, looking at the long and luxurious corridor, suddenly unsure of where to go.

Thus, he opened the friends interface.

Divine Monarch: I’m in the rest area.

Broken Star: Come here.

Broken Star: [Location sharing: x, y, z]

Divine Monarch: Okay.

....

A few minutes later, Ye Mingqiu followed the shared location to the audience seats of the arena, where Tang Ruobing was sitting at the back, watching battle analysis while writing notes for strategy.

"Sit."

Tang Ruobing said without looking away from the battle below.

Ye Mingqiu sat down accordingly, his gaze also turning to the battle below.

Both sides of the battlefield were top-tier Mages, one skilled in using Dark Magic, the other in Elemental Magic. The battle was currently intense, with powerful Composite Elements attacks bursting one after another, but the intensity was relatively limited.

The negative control effect of Dark Magic, Dark Magic can weaken enemies, can curse them, and the effect is actually quite good.

"Very strong, way stronger than those Level 10 Heroes I encountered before." Ye Mingqiu remarked.

"Of course, this is a battle among the top ten fighters of the Celestial Ladder, it’s undoubtedly intense." Tang Ruobing replied.

"Mm."

Ye Mingqiu responded.

"How does it feel? Are Level 10 Hero Spiritualists difficult?"

"A lot weaker than expected, their Basic Attributes are lower than anticipated." Ye Mingqiu answered.

He initially thought their Basic Attributes would be high, but it wasn’t so. Many Level 10 Hero Spiritualists had attributes lower than Level 4 Ye Mingqiu.

The reason is simple, although Ye Mingqiu’s current level is only 4, he is Legendary Level, has high basic growth, and has learned four Basic Passives to enhance Body Basic Potential, boosting his Body Basic Potential in various ways.

His Basic Attributes are much stronger than Hero Level of the same rank, even stuck levels can’t compare. More importantly, Ye Mingqiu has multiple passives, amplifying basic power and agility by 130%.

In other words, adding 1 Attribute Point for him equals a normal Spiritualist adding 2.3 Attribute Points. Only Hero Level Spiritualists with top-tier talent have basic attributes close to Ye Mingqiu’s.

"That’s why they appear there."

Tang Ruobing sighed and said, "Spiritualists have absolute limits on their strength, the more one struggles, the more they feel these limits."

"When later stages reach their body’s Basic Potential limit and reach Dark Gold Level gear optimization, the Talent disparity will show significant strength gaps."

"Effort can reach the lower limit, but what’s truly decisive at the upper limit is always Talent, unless... one has something that can defy fate."

Tang Ruobing lowered her eyes, her hands pausing, if she hadn’t obtained [Ancient God’s Aura] from Ye Mingqiu, her ultimate limit would also be foreseeable.
