Mystery Descends: My Exchanges Are Not Equal

Thinking of this, Wang Teng strode forward.

An idea still lingered in his mind.

If he could complete the Martial God Trial before the reputation challenge ended, he would still have time to challenge the Stargate Guardian.

Who knows, he might even gain some reputation.

If luck was on his side, he might reach 7500 reputation points.

After all, his current reputation value is 7000 points, only 500 points away from 7500, which is not impossible.

If he could truly reach 7500 reputation points, the challenge rewards could skyrocket to 100,000 attribute points.

That would be terrifying!

Likewise, the Yuan Race faces severe penalties—deducting 1,000,000 attribute points, leading to a miserable end.

Of course, these are merely Wang Teng’s personal expectations.

The human heart is never satisfied, like a snake swallowing an elephant!

But if one has no ambition, achievements are also limited.

Unconsciously, Wang Teng arrived near the Divine-grade Test Divine Stele.

His actions immediately drew the attention of those around him.

"Look at that guy! He’s heading towards the Divine-grade Trial Stele!"

"Hehe~! Another one with a curious mind! There are too many of such people, a few pop up every day."

"Yes~! Some people can’t even pass the Top-grade Talent evaluation but insist on testing their Divine-grade Talent. I really don’t understand their mindset."

"What mindset? Daydreaming!"

Many were gossiping, their tones filled with schadenfreude.

They learned from tests over the past days that to pass the Divine-grade Talent evaluation, one must have at least one talent at S-Level, combat power over eighty thousand, and cultivation at the Yellow Tier Realm.

If one has only A-level Talent, then combat power must exceed a hundred thousand to pass the talent evaluation.

Under such conditions, it’s hard to believe even one in a trillion could achieve it.

They couldn’t believe this suddenly emerged young man was the chosen one among billions.

Wang Teng naturally couldn’t be bothered with those rumors.

In just a moment, he reached the side of the Divine-grade Test Stele.

Looking at the white jade stele in front of him, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

A few days ago, he had come to be tested, but unfortunately, he didn’t pass the evaluation that time.

This time, there shouldn’t be any problem!

With that thought in mind, Wang Teng pricked his finger to coagulate blood, squeezing out a drop of bright red blood pearl from his fingertip, with a hint of profound yellow color.

"Look! That kid is about to drip his essence blood!"

"Damn~! He’s really going to test it out! I thought he was just running next to the stele for a look; I didn’t expect him to do it for real!"

"Hehe~! This kid, I’ve been watching him for a long time. Since he came in, he didn’t test lower, middle, upper, or top grade; he went straight for the divine grade!"

"So bold? How confident must he be!"

"Confident? I say it’s arrogance!"

"Hehe~! Let’s just wait and see! I bet this kid will definitely slink away in shame soon! Haha!"

But before the laughter could stop, a sudden change occurred in the front.

Wang Teng gently flicked his forefinger.

"Pat~!"

A light sound, the blood pearl fell onto the Divine Stele.

The next second, the Divine Stele roared, blooming with dazzling spiritual light, startling everyone present.

Everyone looked over at the sound.

They saw the Divine Stele glowing brightly, emitting a cheerful rumbling sound.

The next second, four golden glittering characters appeared on the stele.

[Talent Passed!]

"Boom~!"

The entire venue was shocked!

Damn~!

He passed the talent test!

This was the Divine-grade Talent test!

Previously, those who spread rumors were left with their mouths agape, each revealing incredulous expressions.

Before they could think more, the Test Divine Stele shot out a golden light, pouring into Wang Teng’s body.

An announcement echoed through the air of the Great Hall.

[Congratulations, you have passed the Divine-grade Talent evaluation. Before Level 40, you have three opportunities to enter the exam field and participate in the Divine-grade Foundation Establishment Trial!]

"Boom~!"

The entire venue erupted in uproar!

Countless eyes of admiration turned towards Wang Teng.

And Wang Teng did not stop; he directly walked into the Light Gate beside the stele and disappeared from everyone’s view.

The venue immediately fell into silence.

These days, it was the first time they saw someone pass the Divine-grade Talent evaluation.

After a long while, everyone regained their senses, sighing with emotion.

"My god~! I always thought no one could pass the Divine-grade Talent evaluation test, but someone actually did it!"

"Yes~! That young man is truly powerful!"

"Indeed very strong! But passing the talent evaluation doesn’t mean passing the Divine-grade Trial."

"That’s true! Rumor has it, out of ten who pass the talent evaluation, only one can pass the Lower Divine-grade Foundation Establishment Trial, and it’s about one in a hundred who can pass the Middle Divine-grade Foundation Establishment Trial."

"What about the Upper Divine-grade Foundation Establishment Trial?"

"The Upper Divine-grade Trial is even more terrifying, one in ten thousand could pass."

"Hiss~! That’s too exaggerated! Those who can pass the Divine-grade Talent evaluation are unparalleled geniuses. According to you, only one out of ten thousand such geniuses can achieve the Upper Divine-grade Foundation Establishment!"

"Hehe~! I’m just repeating hearsay! Speaking of which, I’ve never seen an Upper Divine-grade Foundation Establishment, and even the Divine Sons and Holy Daughters can’t achieve it easily."

"Yes~! Speaking of that person just now, it’s hard to say if he can even pass the Lower Divine-grade Foundation Establishment Trial!"

"The Lower Divine-grade Foundation Establishment! A ten percent success rate is indeed challenging!"

Everyone sighed in awe.

Meanwhile, Wang Teng stepped through the Light Gate and felt a bout of dizziness.

The next second, his feet landed firmly, arriving at the Trial Land.

He hurriedly looked around and found himself in a vast, empty Great Hall, surrounded by enclosed walls.

At this moment, a familiar mechanical voice sounded from above the Great Hall.

[You have entered the Divine-grade Foundation Establishment Trial Land.]

[The flow of time in this space is ten times that of the outside world, so ten hours here equates to one hour outside.]

[Within this space, Trial Takers need not fear death! Even in the trial, if you die, you can be resurrected. Please do your best to demonstrate your abilities for a better chance of passing the trial!]

Hearing the second notice, Wang Teng was somewhat surprised.

This trial seems dangerous!

There are even risks of death!

However, even if one dies, the Great Dao will assist in reviving the trial taker, relieving them of worries.

At this time, the familiar mechanical voice sounded again.

[This trial adopts a scoring system; those whose total points reach the standard can pass the trial. Those who do not meet the standard will fail.]

[Hint: During the trial, each death deducts 10 points.]

Hiss~!

Wang Teng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

It seems best not to die once and clear it in one go!

Otherwise, dying once would lower the evaluation.

[On the first entry into this Trial Land, the difficulty defaults to Upper Level. Passing the trial grants you an Upper Divine-grade Foundation Establishment.]

[If the first trial fails, the difficulty automatically lowers to the Middle Level on the second entry. Passing grants a Middle Divine-grade Foundation Establishment.]

[If the second trial fails, the difficulty automatically lowers to the Lower Level on the third entry. Passing grants a Lower Divine-grade Foundation Establishment.]

[Failing the third trial results in permanently losing the opportunity for a Divine-grade Foundation Establishment.]

[Hint: If the trial’s total points reach the standard, additional rewards can be earned. Exceeding the standard points doubles additional rewards, and so forth.]

[Hint: It is detected that this is your first entry into the Trial Land; difficulty will automatically escalate to Upper Level. The trial officially begins in ten seconds. Please feel free to cause a commotion!]

[Countdown: 10...9...8...7...]

The trial was about to begin.

Wang Teng felt a surge of tension.

This opening was the Upper Divine-grade Trial!

Yet, he didn’t know what the content of this first trial would be?

As he pondered this, he couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
