On the third day after the Hell Path opened, Lu Wu's Soul Coin finally reached 200,000, and the long-planned Spirit Summoning Hall finally began construction.
It took 30 minutes, and a towering pagoda appeared near the Netherworld.
And the players in the game also received the first surprise of this update.
[All-Region Announcement: This update unlocks the hidden class Sun Chasing Archer and its inheritance trial. This hidden class is limited to 10 players. Consult the class mentor for details.]
The inheritance of the Sun Chasing Archer was the first gift Lu Wu gave to the players.
The Heroic Spirit "Sun Chaser" was once the number one archer under King of Beiqi, with strength reaching near the Ghost King realm. His archery skills were unparalleled in the land of Beiqi, and he could be said to be a subordinate highly valued by the King of Beiqi.
However, in the battle to exterminate the Curse Clan, the Curse Clan's leader sacrificed his life to activate Prajna Relinquishing Life, forcibly killing him.
Sun Chaser's death caused King of Beiqi immense heartache, but there was nothing he could do. However, his soul was still collected by the King of Beiqi into the Spirit Summoning Hall, becoming one of the Heroic Spirits worshiped by later generations.
This time, after repairing the Spirit Summoning Hall, Bei Li was the first to extract his hidden class.
Of course, because the game is a completely real existence, and archery is not something ordinary people can master, Lu Wu set a limit of 10 people and opened a hidden class challenge trial.
The requirements of the trial are very simple. All players who sign up will be teleported into a target range created by Bei Li in the artifact space.
Players need to undergo trial tests in three events: 50-meter and 100-meter fixed target archery, and 150-meter moving target archery.
Players have five chances to shoot arrows in each round, and the 10 players with the highest scores will receive the inheritance of the hidden class "Sun Chasing Archer".
The appearance of this trial made many players very excited, but obviously, the archery trial was extremely difficult. The arrows shot forward in a parabolic manner. Ordinary people, without systematic training, would not even be able to hit the target, let alone the highest difficulty 150-meter moving target.
But it still couldn't stop the players' enthusiasm for the hidden class. Except for players who didn't like the archer class, a large number of players signed up for this inheritance trial.
The next day, registration ended, and the number of applicants reached 250,000.
And the trial that the players were looking forward to finally began, and all the registered players were teleported to the target range in the artifact space.
In order to prevent players from affecting each other, each player was divided into different spaces. At the same time, a scoreboard was hung in the distance of the target range to facilitate players to observe their score rankings.
The first round of testing was 50-meter target shooting, and each target had five rings. Hitting the bullseye scored 10 points, and the other outer rings decreased by 1 point outwards. Hitting the target but not hitting the ring scored 5 points, and not hitting the target scored no points.
The minimum requirement for advancing in the first round of target shooting was to get 10 points.
After the test officially started, each participating player received an iron bow and five arrows.
Although the first round of testing was only 50 meters away, the difficulty was too great for players who had never been exposed to archery. After shooting five arrows, out of 250,000 people, less than 40,000 players advanced to the second round.
This made Lu Wu, who had been watching, helpless. Obviously, the archer class was too high-end, and it was really not something ordinary people could play.
The second round of testing began, and all the advanced players turned their attention to the scoreboard.
First place: Li Lin (50 points)
Second place: Su Mu (50 points)
Third place: Ye Chen (50 points)
Fourth place: Mo Lingtian (50 points)
All ten players who entered the top ten achieved 100% hit rate.
In the eyes of many players, these people must be experts who have practiced archery in reality, otherwise how could they have such a strong hit rate.
However, Ye Chen didn't think so at this time.
Looking at the target that was pulled to 100 meters away, he looked a little dazed.
He didn't have much hope for this archery inheritance. He just participated in it for fun, but who knew that he would shoot randomly and hit the bullseye with every arrow.
Seeing that he was ranked third on the scoreboard, Ye Chen felt ashamed.
The second round began, and new arrows were distributed. Ye Chen took out another one from the quiver and placed it on the bowstring.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking wind appeared, and the arrow shot out.
"Beep!" The scoreboard in the distance lit up: 10 points
This time, Ye Chen was completely dumbfounded. He had never learned archery, and hadn't even touched a bow before. He was impressed by his own luck.
Could it be that I really have a talent for archery?
So, he pulled out another arrow from the quiver, nocked it on the bowstring, aimed slightly, and released it again.
"Ten points!"
"Ten points!"
"Ten points!"
"Ten points!"
After four shots, Ye Chen admired himself immensely, feeling like a genius. He also thought archery was too easy.
Entering the third round, less than 3,500 players remained, and Ye Chen's ranking was still third, which made him increasingly arrogant.
The third round of testing began. The fixed target became a moving target, and the distance increased to 150 meters. Each shot had a time limit of only 30 seconds, making it more difficult.
Seeing the target swaying irregularly back and forth at 150 meters, Ye Chen felt a little unsure this time.
He tried taking out an arrow, nocked it on the string, roughly predicted the target's movement, and released it.
"Boom~!"
"Beep! 10 points!"
The bowstring vibrated, and the scoreboard in the distance announced the score simultaneously.
"Haha, I really am a genius!" Ye Chen revealed ecstasy on his face after getting another ten points.
As Ye Chen expected, the following four arrows also hit the bullseye. When the final score came out, Ye Chen was extremely proud.
[Regional Announcement: The rankings for this inheritance trial are as follows. The top ten players will soon begin their class inheritance]: First place: Ye Chen (150 points) Second place: Mo Lingtian (149 points) Third place: Li Lin (143 points) Fourth place: Su Mu (141 points) ...
Although I wanted to keep a low profile, my strength doesn't allow it! Seeing that he had won first place, Ye Chen laughed heartily.
With the trial rankings revealed, Lu Wu turned his gaze to Bei Li: "Begin the inheritance!"
Bei Li nodded and immersed her consciousness into the artifact, copying ten portions of the Sun Chasing Archer inheritance and transmitting them to the templates of the ten winning players. At the same time, Bei Li spent 2,000 soul coins per player to help them reconstruct their body templates, making them more suitable for the inheritance.
As the inheritance began, Lu Wu didn't disappoint the curious players. He opened ten live streams in the shooting range, each corresponding to one of the players who obtained a hidden class.
Streams of information surfaced in the minds of Ye Chen and the others as the inheritance began.
