Born Sacred-Chapter 63: Difficulty Soars!

"They will think, the Truth Squad couldn’t do it, Noah’s team couldn’t do it, but that doesn’t mean we can’t. Besides, there are two Advancement Instances, maybe the other one offers greater hope. With the temptation of the Pioneer title, I believe they will risk trying it."

Noah spoke about his plan.

Of course, now that the trap was dug, it was unknown how many top teams would fall into it.

Rose nodded vigorously.

After obtaining Noah’s consent, she reported the information about the anomaly in the Advancement Instance upwards.

After the high-level officials of Starfall Country learned of this news, they also became excited and refined this plan as much as possible, striving to achieve the goal of clearing themselves of suspicion while also catching all those cheater teams in one swoop.

...

Noah didn’t pay attention to the matters after that.

His attention returned to the instance selection interface.

Two Advancement Instances, which one to choose.

Rise of the Beastmen (II), as a series-based instance, must have something extraordinary. Although there was no evidence, Noah suspected that entering this instance could yield better rewards, such as special items better than the Spiritual Rice Root seedling, stronger passive skills than the Scarlet Blood of the Wild Bull, and so on.

Noah felt a sense of anticipation, but when he saw the other instance, he immediately made a decision.

Click, select.

It was as if a clear ringing sound of swords clashing echoed in his ears.

"Enter the instance."

[Advancement Instance: Challenge: Showdown at the Forbidden City]

[Rank: First Order]

[Difficulty: High Difficulty]

[Mission: Kill any three first-rate masters]

[Content: Who rules the martial arts world?

During the True Martial era of the Valorian Empire, martial arts flourished, and experts emerged endlessly. The entire martial arts world entered its peak era, especially the leader of the Asura Demonic Sect, Darius Thorne, who was respectfully called the "Blade Saint," and the leader of the Wind Sword Sect, Supreme Cloud, who had the esteemed title of "Sword God."

They were collectively known as the "Twin Blades of Knife and Sword," their power dominating the martial arts world.

Martial artists were eager for conflict, and the clashes between the righteous and the demonic factions were ceaseless. Hatred accumulated deeper and deeper, and once it erupted, it would ignite the entire martial arts world, and even the Valorian Empire would not be spared.

To resolve this crisis, the Valorian court stepped forward and invited the "Blade Saint" and the "Sword God" to duel at the Forbidden City. The victor would possess everything, commanding the martial arts world, with no one daring to disobey.

"High Difficulty Instance."

Upon hearing the system prompt, Noah immediately noticed that the difficulty of the instance was unusual.

Unlike Trial Instances, Advancement Instances did not have difficulty selection, and outside, the specific difficulty was not visible. Noah originally thought it would be Difficult difficulty, but who knew it was the never-before-seen High Difficulty.

"Ordinary, High Difficulty, is this the difficulty division for Advancement Instances?"

Noah pondered.

This High Difficulty was clearly temporary, unlike the persistent difficulty of Trial Instances.

"Huh, is it actually this instance? I thought Brother Noah, you would choose Rise of the Beastmen (II)." Zara curiously surveyed their surroundings.

Their appearance point was on a north-south official road, where dimly about ten people were walking back and forth. Looking into the distance, they could see the outline of an ancient city.

"This instance is more helpful to me." Noah did not hide it either.

Challenge: Showdown at the Forbidden City was a martial arts-themed instance, filled with a rich Eastern style. The reason Noah chose this instance was also very simple.

To break through the Body Tempering Skill and create higher-level cultivation techniques.

Whether it was a Zero Order or First Order instance, there were martial arts-themed instances. If it weren’t for striking at the Sun Goddess Squad and Holy Hall Squad this time, Noah would definitely have chosen those martial arts-themed instances for his two subsequent Difficult instance opportunities, seeking a breakthrough in his cultivation technique.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late now.

Noah was very much looking forward to the potential of his cultivation technique.

While chatting, a minute passed, and the five people officially entered the instance.

The pedestrians on the official road showed no signs of shock at the appearance of Noah and the others. Seeing their strange attire, they looked as if they were accustomed to it.

One should know that the four people besides Noah were all fully armed when they entered. This time, even Rose was no exception. Just by looking at their appearance, it was Difficult to distinguish whether they were male or female...

Their style was completely out of place with the ancient style of this instance.

Noah sighed inwardly.

It was precisely this incongruity that made him always understand that he had entered an instance, a fictional world. No matter how real everything he saw and heard seemed, it was all fake.

And he hadn’t been teleported to another world.

The Eye of Investigation appeared on Noah’s shoulder, scanning the nearest pedestrian.

[Sam Barnes]

[Rank: Zero Order]

[Attributes: Strength 30, Agility 35, Constitution 40, Spirit 20]

[Skills: None]

[Equipment: Wooden stick]

"Their attributes are so high." Zara looked at the light screen and exclaimed, "I wonder what level this Sam Barnes belongs to in the instance."

"He should just be an Ordinary person." Claire stated her judgment. She said with some worry, "Noah, the people in this instance might have very high attributes."

So-called Ordinary people were roughly equivalent to background characters.

Under normal circumstances, they had no intersection with their mission.

The only time they had seen a large number of Ordinary people was in the Beginning of Calamity instance, and after the mutation began, they were all wiped out by the infected.

The Ordinary people in those instances didn’t have such high attributes; they were all similar to Ordinary people before the Blue Star’s National awakening (National awakening is not in glossary, keeping pinyin).

Noah nodded slightly. By observing a small part, one could infer the whole. The difficulty of the High Difficulty instance was evident from this.

"Giddy up!"

A black horse galloped over, flying past the five people. On the horse’s back sat a burly middle-aged man. He glanced at the five people but did not stop.

The Eye of Investigation’s gaze fell on him.
