The Hero’s Proof!!!

Mu Yuan was no stranger to this term; it was often discussed among older players and gaming news forums.

“The appearance of The Hero’s Proof is unpredictable. It could be a sword, a bow, a suit of armor, a pendant, or a piece of jade. No matter what form this proof takes, its function is always the same—to elevate a soldier to the status of a hero.”

“However…”

The Hero’s Proof doesn’t automatically upgrade a soldier into a hero upon use. It requires the possession of Hero Power.”

Just like the Lord Trial, soldiers have to pass a trial to be promoted. There is no danger to their lives if they fail, but failure means a wasted chance at the precious Hero Trial.

Such an opportunity is not to be squandered, even by a Great Lord.

Mu Yuan likewise didn’t dare to use it carelessly; he needed to make preparations.

On the other hand, information about the Hero Trial was rather scarce. Most of what he knew was pieced together from bits and pieces he picked up from veteran player conversations.

And who knows how accurate these secondhand tales from veteran players are.

With this in mind, Mu Yuan opened up the news he read that morning.

—”Lord Xiong Tianba’s War General, ‘Black Knight,’ has successfully passed the Hero Trial.”

This was hot news, with loads of familiar players leaving comments below.

Mu Yuan also joined in with a comment, “Can anyone explain this Hero Trial? It seems like it’s very difficult?”

He put on his best greenhand impression.

No, he was indeed an absolute greenhand. How could anyone call it an act? No one could be greener than him!

Given the substantial traffic on this news article, it wasn’t long before other players responded, although most of them were new or less-experienced gamers too.

“The Hero Trial? I have no idea.”

“Straight up, I also want to ask.”

“Sitting in the front row with popcorn, kick me when someone explains.”

“A post for greenhands-”

Half an hour later, finally, a veteran player who seemed to be a bigshot showed up.

With a verified real name of Qiu Qianyuan, he said, “The Hero Trial is far beyond reach for you greenhands, to the point that you might not encounter it for a lifetime. But since so many sincere questions have been asked, let me briefly explain.”

“The Hero Trial differs from the Lord Trial. Once initiated, the targeted soldier will enter a special Trial Space. They can be promoted to a hero if they complete the set trial task.”

“The content of the trial isn’t fixed, but it mainly examines the trialist’s command ability, resourcefulness, and judgement. As far as I know, there have been cases where Third-order Warlord Level soldiers failed the challenge, and cases where Professional Soldiers ascended to hero status… that hero is also considered legendary.”

“To deviate a bit, in short, the Hero Trial puts more emphasis on the soldier’s ‘wisdom.’ Soldiers need at least medium Spiritual Wisdom to have a chance of passing the trial. Of course, Lord Players can provide some hints during the trial, but if the soldiers don’t have wisdom, they may not understand the hints, let alone pass the trial.”

“In summary, soldiers with higher order and wisdom have a greater chance of passing the trial.”

So that’s how it is!

Greenhands and average players voiced their newfound understanding and astonishment at the trial’s high difficulty.

Indeed, the chances of ordinary players and even ordinary lords becoming a hero are scarce. The more they learn, the sadder they feel.

“Is it difficult? Not that much.”

“For the bigshots capable of obtaining The Hero’s Proof, finding several soldiers with awakened wisdom isn’t challenging. As long as one passes the trial and becomes a hero, they will inevitably awaken their self-consciousness.”

“But…”

“The bad news is, if the soldier only possesses Spiritual Wisdom and has not awakened their self-consciousness, they can only just pass the trial and receive the most basic Hero’s Baptism.”

The Baptism of Heroes varies in levels, too!

While ordinary players are amazed at the difficulty of the trial, the bigshots are already making plans to improve their soldiers’ evaluation during the trial. Qualified! Good! Excellent! Perfect!

Four levels of evaluation, four levels of Baptism!

“The most common Baptism only grants the hero the most basic Hero’s Aura after promotion.”

“If a higher evaluation is achieved, the Heaven and Earth will grant a higher-level Baptism. At this time, the hero has a chance to learn Strategic Skills, and even awaken Strategic Talent, and the Hero’s Aura they gain will be more powerful.”

“And if they can achieve an even higher evaluation, they will seemingly gain extra gifts from the Heaven and Earth.”

“Of course, even a hero who just scrapes past the trial is still a hero! A hard-to-come-by hero! Oh- a hero, a hero, the harder one craves for it, the harder it is to obtain! Oh~!”

Evening time, Mu Yuan’s territory.

Looking at the broken blade in front of him, Mu Yuan had made up his mind.

The Hero’s Proof is extremely rare. He wasn’t sure if he would get a second one within a year. If the Hero Trial is as difficult to pass as it sounds, he would delay its use to prioritize safety first.

But now,

“Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, General Dead Bone can pass the trial easily! Even if limited by his own strength, achieving an evaluation of ‘qualified’ or ‘good’ should be feasible, right?”

If so, there’s no need to delay further.

Strategic skills, strategic talents, and so forth can be supplemented later.

Having a hero born early holds significant strategic value to the territory.

If it comes to wisdom and command, even Duo Lai, who’s riding on a Skeleton Warhorse, can’t hold a candle to Dead Bone.

This guy doesn’t expect anything from The Hero’s Proof… except maybe if he can eat it.

“Are you confident, Dead Bone?”

Dead Bone expressed that his confidence was not very high. He didn’t understand the trial very well, and currently didn’t have high confidence in obtaining high evaluation. However, since the Lord had decided, he couldn’t say no.

He could only say he was somewhat somewhat confident.

“Somewhat?”

Mu Yuan nodded slightly, revealing a smile, “Then let’s get started.”

‘Ding!’

‘Alert: You have used The Hero’s Proof, targeting ‘Sorrow of Skeleton ? Dead Bone.”

‘Alert: The Hero’s Trial has started.’

The broken blade shattered with a loud bang, turning into a mysterious seal that enveloped Dead Bone. The next moment, Dead Bone’s figure disappeared from the territory.

He had entered the special Trial Space.

Mu Yuan also found that he had split a strand of consciousness that was continuously rising, charging into a gray world.

Just like when he entered the Secret Realm of Challenge, his consciousness had descended once again.

But this time it was just his consciousness—he had no physical form.

He floated like a Wandering Soul—he could see and hear, but he could not touch anything.

‘Alert: During the Hero’s Trial, the Lord can freely watch the battle, but there’s only three opportunities to give hints to the trialist. Please manage them wisely.’

The sky was gray, trees were withered, and tufts of mist visible to the naked eye floated among them.

Under the red mist, dozens of Undead soldiers were mending their equipment. Some of their armors were damaged and some undead were armless or legless, showing signs of a harsh battle with their limping gait.

At this moment, in such circumstances, General Dead Bone woke up..
