After understanding the reason behind it, many of the martial artists fell silent. From eighty thousand young martial artists, there were only a few thousand of them left. The first two stages of the test seemed easy, but they had personally experienced the dangers within.
However, those who could pass the first two rounds of the War God Palace might not be famous, but their talent was definitely one in a million. They could barely be considered geniuses. Naturally, they quickly adjusted their mentality, and fighting spirit reignited in their eyes.
Looking at the young cultivator whose fighting spirit had been reignited, Wan Tian Xing nodded his head. His eyes revealed a satisfied look. If he was frightened like this, even if he was a one-in-a-million genius, he would not be qualified to enter the War God Palace. The path of cultivation required one to be fearless. If one was timid, how could one continue to climb higher realms?
After a while, Wan Tian Xing continued, "The third stage of the Palace of War Deity is also in a secret realm. It is a Ferocious Beast Secret Realm, very similar to the environment in the depths of the Wildlands. In fact, it is even more dangerous and abnormally harsh. There are many dangerous secret realms, poisonous miasma and ghostly fog, and there are all kinds of ferocious beasts living there. There is no way to know how dangerous it is. Once you enter the secret realm, your life and death will be determined by fate.
"You have 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, if no one says that they want to withdraw, then they will be considered to be participating in the third stage of the Palace of War Gods!"
After Wan Tianxing finished speaking, he did not say anything else. Soon, fifteen minutes had passed. It was obvious that none of the five thousand five hundred young martial artists had withdrawn from the assessment.
"Alright!"
Wan Tian Xing's gaze swept across the crowd of young cultivators once again. Looking at their stubborn eyes, Wan Tian Xing continued, "Since no one wants to withdraw, I will now announce the rules of the third round of the God of War Palace."
"In the third stage of the War God Palace, martial artists of different realms will have different results. Martial artists at the Great Perfection of the Bone Tempering Realm will be able to pass the assessment if they can obtain 100 fierce beast points!"
"Early stage Blood Refinement Realm martial artists will be considered to have passed this test after obtaining 200 fierce beast points!"
"Mid Blood Refinement Realm martial artists will be considered to have passed this test after obtaining 400 fierce beast points!"
"Late Blood Refinement Realm martial artists with 800 fierce beast points will be considered to have passed this test!"
"Martial artists in the Blood Refining Realm, you have to obtain 1,600 Fierce Beast Points to pass this assessment!"
"The Fierce Beast Points are obtained by killing Fierce Beasts. Killing Fierce Beasts below the pinnacle of One-Star does not count as Fierce Beast Points. Killing a pinnacle One-Star Fierce Beast gives you one Fierce Beast Point, killing an early-stage Two-Star Fierce Beast gives you five Fierce Beast Points, killing a mid-stage Two-Star Fierce Beast gives you ten Fierce Beast Points, killing a late-stage Two-Star Fierce Beast gives you fifteen Fierce Beast Points, killing a pinnacle Two-Star Fierce Beast gives you twenty Fierce Beast Points, killing a half-step Three-star Fierce Beast gives you forty Fierce Beast Points, and killing an early-stage Three-star Fierce Beast gives you five hundred Fierce Beast Points!"
Just as Wan Tianxing announced the rules of the test, the thousands of young martial artists below began to discuss in low voices. More than 90% of these martial artists were Blood Refinement Realm martial artists with varying strengths. As for their combat strength, there were naturally strong and weak ones.
"Just looking at the fierce beast points, no matter what realm the Fierce Beast is at, as long as you kill 200 pinnacle One-Star Fierce Beasts, you will pass the test. I am a peak Early Blood Refinement Realm martial artist, so killing One-Star Fierce Beasts will be a piece of cake. This is too easy!" A peak Early Blood Refinement Realm martial artist said softly.
"I have a Semi-Spiritual Weapon inherited from my tribe. Ordinary Two-Star Fierce Beasts are no match for me. It seems that as long as I am careful of the dangers in the Ancient Forest of the Secret Territory and avoid some powerful Fierce Beasts, I will have a high chance of passing the test!"
Wan Tianxing's lips curled into a smile as he listened to the whispers of the young martial artists below. However, he did not say anything. Once these young martial artists entered the Secret Territory, they would realize how laughable their thoughts were.
He then continued, "You only have three days, and these fierce beast points are only your qualifications to enter the Palace of War Gods. You are all talented people who have passed the first two tests. However, in the Palace of War Gods, if you want to obtain better resources, you can only rely on yourself. Therefore, the fierce beast points that I have just mentioned are only the starting point. If you want to obtain a good position in the Palace of War Gods, you will need to hunt as many Fierce Beasts as possible!"
Hearing Wan Tianxing's words, many of the young martial artists finally reacted. No wonder the third test seemed so simple. It was just a qualification. If they wanted to obtain better resources, they would need to hunt more Fierce Beasts on their own.
"The martial artists accepted by the Palace of War Gods are divided into six ranks: Ordinary martial artists, Dark Iron martial artists, Bronze martial artists, Silver martial artists, Gold martial artists, and Purple Gold martial artists. All the martial artists who have passed the test are Ordinary martial artists. After the test, those who have obtained the top ten fierce beast points will be promoted to Silver martial artists. Those who have obtained the top fifty fierce beast points will be promoted to Bronze martial artists. Those who have obtained the top hundred fierce beast points will be promoted to Dark Iron martial artists!"
"Silver martial artists will each receive five Tier 2 elixirs, the Unblocking Meridian Elixir, and can enter the Skills Pavilion to choose one Upper Earth Rank martial art manual and one Upper Earth Rank combat skill!"
"Bronze-ranked martial artists, each of you can obtain a rank two or three elixir, a Meridian Unblocking Elixir. You can also enter the Skill Library to choose an Earth-ranked Middle-grade martial arts manual and an Earth-ranked Middle-grade combat skill!
"Dark Iron martial artists will each receive one Tier 2 elixir, the Unblocking Meridian Elixir, and can enter the Skills Pavilion to choose one Lower Earth Rank martial art manual and one Lower Earth Rank combat skill!"
Tier 2 elixir, martial art manual!
Suddenly, the breathing of all the young cultivators became a lot more rapid. All of a sudden, all the cultivators were mobilized. Ancient martial arts manuals were the most important thing for their future cultivation. Why did they come to the War God Palace? Wasn't it for the ancient martial arts manuals?
For Blood Refining Realm martial artists, the Tier 2 Unblocking Meridian Elixir was also a precious elixir that could only be found by luck. This was not to say that this elixir was precious or that it required precious herbs.
Moreover, this Unblocking Meridian Elixir was only a Tier 2 elixir, so it was not considered a precious elixir. However, in the desolate border, alchemy inheritances were rare. There were no alchemists, so even if the Unblocking Meridian Elixir was ordinary, people would only hear about it and not see it. Who would have thought that the Palace of War Gods would actually have a Unblocking Meridian Elixir as a reward?
"The Unblocking Meridian Elixir is a supreme elixir for us Blood Refining Realm martial artists. One Unblocking Meridian Elixir can open a Heavenly Meridian, and it can even repair the damage to the Heavenly Meridian during the process!"
"I am already at the peak of the Middle Blood Refining Realm and am stuck at the seventh Heavenly Meridian. With this Unblocking Meridian Elixir, advancing to the Late Blood Refining Realm will be a piece of cake!"
A young martial artist's eyes flashed with desire as he couldn't help but murmur.
"If I get 12 Unblocking Meridian Elixirs, wouldn't I be able to advance from the Early Blood Refining Realm all the way to the Perfect Blood Refining Realm?"
However, a martial artist immediately sneered and retorted, "You are too naive!
The Unblocking Meridian Elixir is indeed a supreme elixir for opening Heavenly Meridians, but it is a fantasy to think that one can use it to open all the meridians. Even if there are enough Unblocking Meridian Elixirs, can the body of the person breaking through withstand it?!
"The Secret Realm is full of dangers, and there are all kinds of fierce beasts. There are even some places that the True Body doesn't dare to casually enter, so it will all depend on your luck."
Since Wan Tianxing called himself the True Body, he was naturally a Venerable. Yet, there were places that Venerables didn't dare to casually enter. This immediately brought an indescribable pressure to these young martial artists. Just how frightening was this Secret Realm?
As Wan Tianxing's voice fell, countless rays of light fell from his hands into the hands of the martial artists participating in the assessment. One was green, and the other was white. The green one was a bronze token, and the white one was a crystal ball.
"The cyan token is used to record your Fierce Beast Points. The cyan token will absorb the essence blood of the beasts you've killed. As for the white crystal ball, it's for you to ask for help. If you're in danger, you just have to crush this crystal ball and you'll be teleported out of the secret trial. Of course, once you crush the crystal ball, it means that you've given up on the third stage of the trial!"
Rumble!
Another thunderous sound came from the sky, and there seemed to be something roaring in the depths of the Void. The Void behind Wan Tianxing once again split open, and a hideous Void Crack appeared.
The same desolate aura surged toward him. The vast Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was mixed with the aura of the primordial chaos.
Another Primal Chaos Secret Realm!
Now, many warriors who came to watch the ceremony were already numb. Was there still any justice in this world? Not to mention the Origin Chaos Mystic Realm, even an ordinary mystic realm that had already completed its evolution could be said to be a supreme treasure. If it was developed well, it could become an existence that could suppress the tribe's foundation.
However, they had seen with their own eyes that one of the two major Secret Realms had been casually transformed into an illusion, and the one in front of them had become the trial Secret Realm for fierce beasts. Was the Gu Yuan Tribe really so rich that they would pay such a price to build the War God Palace? It was really generous!
"The assessment will last for three days. After three days, if you don't have enough battle merit points, you will be eliminated!"
In the sky, Wan Tianxing, who had his back to the Secret Realm crack, shouted, "Now, I announce that the third round of the War God Palace officially begins!"
