Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 757 - 24: The Court Fate Officer and the Chosen One! Spot secured! (16,000)_8

Chapter 757: Chapter 24: The Court Fate Officer and the Chosen One! Spot secured! (16,000)_8

"Wake up!"

The mysterious Ritual Repairer made another move, restoring everyone’s senses.

Many showed expressions of unbearable shame.

"This must be Duke Wei," Zhao Xing thought to himself, "Who would have thought that for this round of Heavenly Destiny’s chosen island, there would be a king and a duke personally managing it."

As for the ranking, Zhao Xing no longer paid it any attention.

He came to the last two challenges purely to look for any oversights or gaps.

"I made it through the sixth Illusion Palace, but was stumped by the seventh."

"My Life Soul is only at mid fourth grade. If it can still be upgraded, I should be able to break through the seventh in a month," Zhao Xing thought.

In places like the seventh Illusion Palace, he could clearly see through it but lacked the raw power to quickly solve the puzzle.

"Even so, my ranking has climbed quite a lot, now at three hundred and eight," Zhao Xing thought. "But whether this is real or fake, who knows?"

He didn’t know the situations of other people, but he did see some coming out of the ninth palace.

In the end, the Earth Mirror too was in the hands of the Royal Court; if they wanted to falsify anything, wouldn’t it just be a matter of saying the word?

What his final ranking would be depended entirely on how Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wanted him to pass through the entire level.

In any case, he was now entering the last challenge, Dragon Language Decree, at three hundred and eighth place.

...

Time came to the twenty-fourth day after Zhao Xing passed the second challenge, Dragon’s Protection.

The thirtieth city of Dragon’s Protection.

"I... damn, damn your whole, whole family..."

Lei Ling lay powerless on the ground.

There were hardly any people left around him.

As for the thirtieth Dragon City, it had long since been left with only Long Xiao defending it alone.

Counting the five days before Zhao Xing passed the challenge, Lei Ling had now been here for twenty-nine days.

He was approaching the one-month time limit.

Lei Ling had been stopped here for twenty-nine days.

Those weaker than him had passed by the thousands, but he had been tormented by Long Xiao to the extreme.

He complained, and he yelled at the heavens about the injustice.

But no one paid him any attention.

Within the rules, Long Xiao was allowed to block anyone.

Even if Long Xiao was doing it excessively, complaints afterward were useless, because these five hundred spots were offered by Bai Yunwu!

Go and report it?

Who are you below, to accuse my son-in-law?

"Brother Lei, stop cursing, the more you curse, the less likely it is you’ll pass," his friend said, unable to bear looking directly at him.

Lei Ling himself was mentally exploding, actually cursing at the commanding officer, wasn’t that asking for trouble?

How could they then make it easy for you?

"Huff... huff..." Lei Ling, tired from cursing, silently got up to heal his injuries.

Tomorrow was the last day, and if he didn’t get past it, he would be eliminated.

The five hundred spots were relatively easier to get. If he couldn’t get through this time, he would have to fight in the recurring battles later on, competing against even more people for the remaining spots, which would likely be even harder.

...

The fifth challenge, Dragon Language Decree.

Zhao Xing faced the language test of the ancient Dragon Clan.

"During the Spiritual Energy Era, many powerful figures of the Dragon Court established their path and altered the rules of heaven and earth, so that the Dragon Clan’s language was not only a language but also a spell, like a curse, possessing the formidable power of heaven and earth,"

"Even now, it remains effective, albeit much weakened."

"Different languages and ancient scripts also indicate one’s rank, for example, Dragon Clan Golden Characters, which are exclusive to the Royal Court, and the level of Dragon Language Decree also determines one’s status within the Dragon Clan."

"There are over two hundred types in total, this challenge is truly difficult."

Zhao Xing glanced at the test. This challenge was his weak point.

The assessment time was only seven days.

Yet he had to overcome the trials of over two hundred types of Dragon Language.

Other competitors were those who had been diligently studying for decades.

Zhao Xing, however, hadn’t studied for long, having only learned the basics.

The preparation time was different.

Moreover, the Dragon Language Decree was an entirely new system of spells, somewhat similar to the Ritual Repairer’s Ten Thousand Beasts True Word.

The final difficulty lay in the Dragon Language Decree itself.

"Of the over two hundred types, seventy-two tested high-level Dragon Language Spells. At least a fifth grade body is required to utter Dragon Language."

After Zhao Xing broke through to the fifth grade, he had too much to do and no time to focus on researching.

With this challenge before him, his scoring ability weakened.

Because he had only broadly studied the Ten Thousand Beasts True Word Spell and had not specialized in high-level Dragon Language Spells.

He had never thought this random fifth challenge would present such a test.

"I have ten more years to prepare; falling behind at this stage is no big deal," Zhao Xing thought, "Looking for gaps and deficiencies is good for spotting my own flaws."

Seven days later, Zhao Xing emerged from the Dragon Language Decree challenge, waiting for everyone’s tests to finish.

During this period, his ranking slowly slipped.

It finally settled at four hundred twenty-five, staying still.

"King Heavenly Destiny is operating in the dark," Zhao Xing said with a slight smile when he saw this.

The number of people coming for the last challenge kept increasing.

But his ranking stopped dropping, clearly locked in place.

"Four hundred twenty-five, just within the top five hundred spots, and not so low as to draw attention,"

Zhao Xing sat cross-legged in a corner, waiting for the final assessments to end.

...

Time passed, and suddenly Zhao Xing felt a repelling force.

His Canghai Order radiated a faint glow, enveloping him and his battle beast together.

"It’s ending," Zhao Xing realized he was about to leave Canghai Cave Heaven.

...

Outside Grotto Heaven of Canghai, aboard the Genchuan Fubo Ship.

"It’s over? What was Zhao Xing’s rank?" Meng Kun asked.

"Four hundred twenty-five," Gu Changqing answered.

"How did he drop so much?"

"He barely led after the third challenge, fell behind the first tier by the fourth challenge, and by the fifth his performance was quite poor," Gu Changqing said, "Managing to hold onto four hundred twenty-five is all thanks to the advantage he accumulated in the second challenge."
