Previously On,
Dragon God's Reincarnation!
"Let the first trial begin!"
and out of four gates that were in front of him,
Opened Up.
And the things that came out from the gates were Hundreds of Humanoid Wooden Puppets at the level of core Formation in Shénlóng world and at a Bronze to Silver General in Gargantua World.
"The Trial For Level One is~~~,
The Battle of 1v500!"
To pass the trial,
Xuanqing had to defeat all 500 puppets.
<{Quit the talking, Let's Begin already!}>
And So the Wolfsedge Trials Began!
*****************************************
Once the Signal to start the trial was given.
The Puppets which seemed lifeless had a red
murderous glow in their eye holes .
And started to march forward towards Xuanqing,
In Five Waves of Hundred Each.
The distance between him and the first wave was about 10 meters.
He got prepared to finish the first wave in one move so as to not waste any more time.
He swept back his hair off his face,
Revealing his azure colored dragon mark on his fore head,
Got rid of any cramps in his body and neck and Did some warm up,
Placed his left leg in front of the other,
And got in the stance,
"Oh I really forgot to tell our Competitor about something, You can use QI in here! So don't rely too much on your physical strength, it's boring"
The Voice on the P.A just made him known of the fact that he can use his greatest techniques to their full potential. Giving his a chance to eradicate all of the Waves.
In the same posture,
He got his Qi running in his body,
And Condensed it back in his Origin Core.
<{Ahhh....how much did I miss This feeling.}>
Xuanqing was rejoiced with being able to use energy again and that too like he could at his prime.
With the First Wave just around the corner,
Xuanqing proceeded to Use one of his world's ultimate techniques.
[Dragon Clan, Secret Art]
[World Destroying Dragon Claw]
And soon a claw's projection, almost 30 meters wide,
It Fell and Barely even scratched the puppets.
Xuanqing was stunned,
The technique he used was enough to kill people at the peak of Nascent Soul.
"Ohh, seems like our Competitor's attack failed, He failed to get even a scratch on the Spiritual Iron-Wood Puppets!"
The Voice on the P.A mocked him.
While He was still in shock from the failure of his ultimate technique,
The First Wave attacked him,
one of the puppets Attacked his lower abdomen sending a shockwave throughout his body which in turn pushed him at least 20 steps back.
once he was down 10 puppets combined their energies into a big ball,
The moment the ball was about to hit him,
he rolled aside and got up.
by now he understood that these puppets are unable to be attacked from the outside.
But he had no time to think properly,
No matter where he stood. The Puppets were constantly keeping him under siege.
******
Meanwhile at Érebos,
******
{**Yawn**I Thought that he would've finished the trials by now, but would you look at that he's struggling with the first trial till now!}
{Hmmm...I Don't think that he can clear it}
Omega was doubting if Xuanqing would be able to win this trial by himself.
******
Back at the trials,
******
Xuanqing was getting beaten down by the puppets and by now the second wave had reached him as well.
"Attention all we have finally gotten our first Bulletin of the day!"
By now he had only destroyed 10 puppets and those ten took most of his energy out.
[Umm.....This thing still works right? Oh now it worked. hello Xuanqing, Can't imagine that you are still stuck at the first trial. I thought that by now you'll be at the sixth trial or even seventh. Let's take this as a proof of whether you can watch you Nephew grow up or know if your brother and sister in law are still alive or are they dead.]
Hearing This Xuanqing got a new motivation to win and started to think about ways in which he could destroy the puppets without much Qi.
And then it finally kicked him,
He can use a move that causes it's impact to come out from within.
[Demonic Resurgence]
a move that allows him to channel a strand of his energy into inanimate objects and use that energy to make them obey the user and even commit self-destruction.
He stopped his resistance and let them get over him,
Once he was covered by almost 100 puppets, he left it all to luck and used
[Demonic Resurgence]
all the Qi that was left in his body, traveled or should I say Transferred into the surrounding puppets and with that, the puppets were now under his control and got him up.
<{Now, The tables have finally turned!}>
Xuanqing was back on his feet,
<{Go! my soldiers, destroy those pesky puppets.}>
After his order, all the puppets under his command started attacking other puppets but the funny thing was that the other puppets still counted the puppets under his control as one of them and didn't Attack them.
And With those Around a hundred puppets, he was able to destroy around two hundred and fifty puppets before the Qi in the puppets was about to reach it's limit.
And he made them blast themselves and in turn destroying around a fifty more puppets in addition to the hundred under his control.
and within moments the Unfair 1v500 battle got down to 100 against 1.
By now he had regained his Qi and was preparing to Inject These puppets with his Qi as well.
When suddenly The Voice Spoke Again.
"Would you look at that aside from the Constellations The Original Dragon God is also here although we all know that the last Bulletin was from him under an alias as well"
"Well currently he has some direct messages for our Competitor so please read his messages"
[Hi Xuanqing, It was good to see you using your head for once.]
[Remember, once you clear the trial, ask him for the shop and buy the Gargantuan God's Broken Halberd.]
***Connection Lost***
at this moment Xuanqing didn't understand what was Gargantuan God's Broken Halberd but his gut feeling told him that he needed more points to buy it.
Xuanqing Rushed over to the Fifth Wave before they had the time to march over to him,
And Used attacked the puppets,
[Shadow Talon(Improvised)]
Using a combination of his shadow Talon technique and the Demonic Resurgence Technique,
he was able to destroy the Puppets by transferring the impact of shadow Talon to the interior of the puppets and with that all the Puppets were destroyed.
"Would you all look at that! Our Competitor has now cleared the first Trial!"
The voice on the P.A announced.
"Let's have a look at his scores"
[Competitor: Qin Xuanqing]
[World: Shénlóng]
[Rank: Golden Core]
[Point: 1890]
[Trial one passed!]
[Rank Bonuses:
Core Refreshing Pills x2,
Black/Gold dragon robe(part of the emperor series),
All wounds Healed,]
[Compound Rewards (Given after the Final trial)
1000 Mid rank mana stones,
Realm Advancement to Nascent Spirit Peak,
Spirit affinity increase (already at max),
Mana power increase by 5,
aura power increase by 5]
***All Rewards Given***
[Would you like to open the shop]
Xuanqing didn't understand how this array was able to act, talk and seem so much like a living being.
<{Yes, open the Shop}>
But one thing was certain, His lord had asked him to Buy a certain something so he had to buy it.
"Goodbye for now people, we'll meet again in the next Trial"
And with that the Voice on The P.A was gone.
[The Shop]
[Items]
(Good life elixer)(1)
(Dragon God's Scalemail)(2)
(Gargantuan God's Broken Halberd)(3)
(Halberd of Gods)(4)
[Select your item number]
<{(3)}>
[Your selection is the Gargantuan God's Broken Halberd?]
<{Yes!}>
[Well then, this will cost you 1889 points]
the Points he had were just barely enough to buy this product, if he had done not so well in this trial, he would have lost the item the Dragon God asked him to buy.
[The points have been deducted from your account, Pleasure doing business with you!]
Afterwards he had a broken, white rod which may be the rod of the Halberd he just bought.
<{How exactly do I move to the next trial?}>
[Answer: The next trial will start in Five minutes]
While he was waiting,
Out of curiosity he injected his Qi into the Halberd but nothing happened,
When he failed to Use QI to seek into the Halberd, he became even more curious.
He started to think about the clues,
And it finally kicked in that it was Gargantuan God's Broken Halberd, meaning it must've been Gargantuan God's Halberd at some point in time.
So he thought,
If Qi doesn't work as it's a foreign energy,
maybe Mana will work.
Due to the increase in his mana due to the rewards, he was able to sense mana now.
So he used the mana in the nature and channeled it though his body into the rod.
And soon He was Inside the Rod's Space.
It was an old Imperial training ground,
with flags all over the rocky castle .
And in the center of it all was the complete form of the Halberd,
It was a shiny silver Halberd studded with the Highest Possibly available Grade MANA stones and that too 11 of them.
[Are you the Successor to That Old Man?]
The voice on the Halberd was similar to the voice of the announcement system in the trials. Xuanqing found it strange but pretended to not notice it.
<{If Successor means to be the holder of the Complete Halberd, not yet and if it means to be his descendant it is a complete no.}>
[**Laugh** It is the first time that a being refused to be known as his successor and questioned the one giving inheritance.]
<{Just answer the damn question}>
[As long as you own the rod of the Halberd You can be named as the temporary Successor]
<{Good, how many pieces are there For the broken Halberd?}>
[Including The Rod there are seven pieces]
[<{That would mean one for each trial}>]
[Now go, the Second Trial is about To begin]
