Because They Were All Gods

A moment later, as the smoke cleared, two people were revealed standing there, fists to fists, motionless. Finally...

Long Qiu'er's illusion, visible only to Wu Yang Jin, revealed a smile that seemed to be an acknowledgment before turning into specks of light and disappearing.

Then, with Tang Wu Lin ...

"Ah! Hey? I'm out?" Tang Wu Lin said, his face bruised and swollen.

"Ha... haha, I thought, I thought I was the only one here," Xie Xie said, his face also bruised and swollen.

"Oh, how many levels did you pass?" Tang Wu Lin asked.

"Uh, just one level, and this assessment is way too difficult! I really can't do anything about it. Her explosive power and speed are faster than mine, and her close-combat ability is super strong. These are supposed to be my advantages, but I can't use them at all! That's why I got beaten so badly I can't even take care of myself," Xie Xie said.

"Hey? Where are Gu Yue, Yang Jin, and Hu Meier? Are they still inside?" Tang Wu Lin asked.

"Yeah, it seems like they're the strongest! How many rounds did you pass?" Xie Xie said and asked.

"Haha, I guess you could say it was two trials. The second one was being used as a punching bag, which I just had to tough out," Tang Wu Lin said awkwardly.

Then, after a while, a flash of light appeared in the machine from which the two people had come out, and three people rolled out one after another, tumbling several times before colliding together.

Then, Tang Wu Lin and Xie Xie saw three other people with swollen faces, and they helped each other to their feet.

"Uh, how many levels did you pass?" Xie Xie asked.

"There are two intermediate levels and two advanced levels. I knew I was going to lose the intermediate level from the start," Wu Yang Jin said.

"Then we're all the same." x2

"What about you two?" Wu Yang Jin asked, then, seeing that the two remained silent, he knew what was going on.

"Alright, you can come over here now," Wu Zhangkong said.

The group then walked to Wu Zhangkong's side. Suddenly, another burst of light appeared, and the group felt a strong spatial fluctuation before disappearing from their spot.

When they reappeared, they were in a place that looked like a combination of a reception room and an office.

"Sit down, there are some things I need to talk to you about." Wu Zhangkong gestured to the sofa.

Then, the five of them sat together on a large sofa, and Wu Zhangkong sat down opposite them.

"You must be wondering about today's second exam. In this assessment, every one of you will be facing opponents of the same level, although the increased difficulty will involve more Soul Ring. But I must tell you, all of these Soul Master you fought in the Hero Hall were real Soul Master actually existed!"

"However, precisely because it is Simulation Simulation, only about 60% to 70% of their true strength can be displayed here. So I would like to ask, how do you think your strength compares to 60% or 70% of theirs?" Wu Zhangkong asked.

Afterwards, everyone pondered for a moment.

"Actually, you don't need to think about it too much. Yang Jin, you tell us about these Soul Master," Wu Zhangkong said, handing the task to Wu Yang Jin.

"Yes. Actually, the Soul Master we've encountered are all real. Although I don't know which ones you've met, the ones I've met include the original Shrek Seven Devils, the Spirit Ice Douluo generation, and some other powerful figures from outside of that era," Wu Yang Jin said.

"The Shrek Seven Devils? Powerful people?" x4

"Yes, the first person I met was Xiao Wu, the wife of Tang San's ancestor. Then, there was their daughter, Tang Wu Tong, followed by Long Qiu'er, the wife of Aurora Douluo, and then a girl in a flowing dress. Finally, the highest-level person I met was actually Aurora Douluo himself, a six-ringed cultivator," Wu Yang Jin said.

"What?! Yang Jin, you encountered Aurora Douluo? Virtually?" Xie Xie asked in surprise.

"Right."

"Wait, so that means I encountered the Soft Rabbit Douluo Jiang Nannan," Xie Xie said.

"Then I encountered Xiao Ding Douluo, Xiao Xiao?" Tang Wu Lin said.

"I encountered Tang San's ancestor," Hu Meier said.

"Then, the one I encountered was Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao," Gu Yue said finally.

"Yes, apart from Long Qiu'er, Aurora Douluo Long Shuang Han, and that girl, they are all members of the Shrek Seven Devils," Wu Yang Jin said.

"That's right, but Yang Jin, the girl you mentioned is the one who used poison in the second level of the advanced stage. She is one of the wives of Aurora Douluo. You've seen her in the murals, but you don't know her," Wu Zhangkong said.

"Huh? Who is she?" Wu Yang Jin asked curiously.

"She wasn't one of the Shrek Seven Devils, nor was she from the Douluo Continent. Instead, she was Meng Hongchen, Dream Cold Douluo from the Sun Moon Empire at that time, Martial Soul was the Zhu Qing Ice Toad," Wu Zhangkong said.

"Meng Hongchen?" Wu Yang Jin asked.

"That's right, but the specific story is unknown. In fact, Aurora Douluo didn't leave behind all the stories that were passed down at that time, so no one is particularly clear about this part, such as people like Meng Hongchen," Wu Zhangkong said.

"Then, brother, my opponents are all different people, could it be..." Wu Yang Jin asked.

"That's right, I arranged it. It was easy, and it was also to test your limits," Wu Zhangkong said.

"Well, what a good brother. I thought everyone would meet different people, but it turns out I'm the only one," Wu Yang Jin thought to himself.

"By the way, all the powerful figures we encountered in this Hero Hall were either members of the Shrek Seven Devils or related to them," Wu Yang Jin said.

This revelation truly shocked everyone. They hadn't expected to encounter such famous figures. Regardless of how many levels or stages they had faced, it was no easy feat to withstand even virtual attacks from these individuals.

"Here, compared to the Spirit Ascension Platform you entered, the Hero Hall will feel more real and safer. Although the injuries you suffer in battle here are real, they won't cause the same intense mental reactions as on the Spirit Ascension Platform. Also, this assessment isn't actually the second subject, and there isn't a second subject at all."

"The real significance isn't that you have to take an exam. Your real exam was already completed at the Spirit Ascension Platform. As for your exam here, it means you can join the organization here. Of course, if you're willing to join, in the future, you can accumulate Merit Points to use the Hero Hall for training. Furthermore, there are other benefits here," Wu Zhangkong said.
