Advanced Trial

"You're Little Luo's apprentice, the one Little Huang often mentions to me?" the old man said upon seeing Old Wang arrive.

His voice was calm and even, which made Wang Qianduo put aside all the messy thoughts in his mind.

"Yes, Major Thousand King of the Alliance greets the General!"

Old Wang was not lacking in the proper etiquette; he stepped forward and gave General Zhang a military salute.

"No need to be so polite. I've been here for a few days and I've often heard people talk about you. Little Huang and Little Luo also think very highly of you."

But maybe it's because I'm getting older, I'm a bit stubborn now, the more others recommend it, the more I want to put it on hold.

But today, the Azure Dragon Army sent me a message reporting your achievements.

"They are indeed very capable, worthy of their recommendation!" The old man glanced at Old Wang Old Wang and said slowly.

"Thank you, General!" Old Wang.

"Don't mention it. Besides wanting to see you as a highly recommended talent, I also have something I need you to do today!"

General Zhang got straight to the point, stating his purpose in summoning Old Wang.

Upon hearing that there was a task, Old Wang immediately woke up and said, "Please speak!"

"You've received the news about the Mecha Tournament. The finals will be held on the Center Star."

Each legion and special forces unit has already selected its representatives, but we Neutral Faction haven't.

In the past, we wouldn't choose this option because we didn't want to get involved in their affairs, but this time is different.

Some problems arose with Old Huang, affecting the entire Neutral Faction. Originally, we were wholeheartedly committed to external affairs, but due to the propaganda of some people, we became fence-sitters.

This time we've decided to show our strength, so we need someone to win the championship, only the championship, and the championship for all of them.

Do you have confidence?

General Zhang asked Old Wang casually, wanting to see if this person, recommended by so many people, had the courage to back it up.

After he finished speaking, Old Wang heard the familiar system notification sound.

System notification: Zhang Baiying has issued you a mission [Claim the Championship]. Do you accept?

"I accept!" Old Wang said quietly, then looked at the old general and said firmly, "I have confidence!"

After demonstrating his skills in front of countless Player, Old Wang gradually gained confidence.

He used to try to hide his abilities, which was indeed a sign of prudence, but it could also be seen as a lack of confidence.

"Alright! Then I'll trouble you!" The old man smiled at Wang Qianduo's appearance; he was now starting to think highly of the young man.

After leaving the Command Hall, Old Wang sat on a step and looked at the task he had just received.

Claim the Championship (Unique Hidden): At the request of the Neutral Faction in the Alliance, win all the championships in the Mecha Tournament.

Task progress:

Individual Competition champion (0/1)

Squad Competition Champion (0/1)

Team Competition Championship (0/1)

Task Reward: Unknown

Failure penalty: Unknown

"Keep trying!"

Old Wang, who had impulsively accepted the task, spoke to himself with a hint of sadness in his voice.

After saying that, he returned to the Dawn and began building his own Evolution Pool.

Old Wang's actions attracted the attention of everyone in the camp. They watched with admiration Old Wang continuously placed Rare materials into the Energy Pool.

"Hey! Is that Perfect material? They just throw it in piles like that?"

"Not only that! I also saw Legendary materials."

"Haven't you noticed that this Energy Pool is a Legendary item?"

"Is this the secret to his strength?"

"These materials are enough for my Mecha Evolution ten times over. Even the Dragon Princess Mecha, which has incredibly expensive evolution materials, isn't this expensive, is it?"

"Guild Leader Lin upgraded his Dragon Princess Mecha a couple of days ago, and it cost him less than a third of this!"

"Just one word: awesome!"

Those who could enter this room were all Future Guild, and Old Wang didn't hide anything from them.

Keeping everything hidden in your heart is too tiring; isn't a little bit of showing off a necessary spice in life?

After the last material was thrown into the Energy Pool, the entire Energy Pool immediately calmed down, and the milky white energy liquid was crystal clear and quite beautiful.

"You all go out first, I'm going in. I don't know what will happen next, so it's best if you stay away," Old Wang said to the onlookers.

Upon hearing this, everyone left the room. After they left, Old Wang piloted the Lord of the Elements into the Energy Pool.

This time, on his Master's advice, he prepared enough energy.

After Old Wang entered the Evolution Pool, the white energy enveloped him once again.

A seven-colored Elemental Crown flew out from the Lord of the Elements's body and hovered above his head; the system notification arrived again.

"System notification: The evolution of the Lord of the Elements is about to begin. Player select your evolution path and click the confirm button to start the advancement assessment."

This evolution is different from the last one; Old Wang now has two more options:

Divine Lord of the Elements (A special evolved Mecha that Lord of the Elements comprehended Holy Energy)

Lord of the Elements the Abyss Elements (A special evolved Mecha of the Lord of the Elements wields the Ninefold Nether Energy)

To be honest, Old Wang wanted to choose both of them, but the system said he could only choose one for the assessment.

Old Wang hesitated as he looked at the two options, but it wasn't hard to guess the origins of these two evolutionary forms.

His only attributes related to Holy Energy and the Ninefold Nether Energy are his few special skills.

The Divine Lord of the Elements must be due to his Holy Energy Mastery, while the Lord of Abyss Lord of the Elements is undoubtedly the Dark Abyss Gate.

Both evolutions are feasible, but judging solely from attack power, the second one is definitely superior.

The terrifying power of Enhanced Dark Abyss Gate is still fresh in our minds; it is something that Holy Energy cannot match.

But...

After careful Thought, Old Wang chose the first evolutionary branch: Divine Lord of the Elements.

After all, the second branch is obviously about playing with the negative energy of the Dark Abyss Gate. That energy is strong enough, but the negative effects are just too terrifying.

The fact that a negative state can affect Old Wang in reality shows how terrifying it is.

Old Wang genuinely felt he couldn't control this energy, so he decided not to risk it.

It's not a matter of confidence; it's just that I don't want to take shortcuts.

After choosing the Divine Lord of the Elements evolution branch, a white light bloomed in front of Old Wang, and he appeared in the assessment Instance Dungeon.

"System notification: The first round of the assessment, the Divine Elemental Energy Baptism, is about to begin. Player prepare."

The first round of testing by the Divine Lord of the Elements took place in a room filled with laser weapons, leaving Old Wang with virtually no place to hide from the attacks.

As soon as Old Wang appeared, he was met with a barrage of laser weapons of various colors, instantly taking away 95% of his health.

After Old Wang used several Potion to fully restore his health, the next round of attacks was about to begin.

And so it went, round after round. Old Wang held on for a full 5 minutes, until the Lord of the Elements outside was completely enveloped in white energy.

Five minutes later, the system notified him that he had passed the first round of testing, and the second round of testing [Divine Elemental Recognition] would begin immediately.

Old Wang knew that the first round wouldn't be passed this way, since no one else could pass the test like that.

But that doesn't matter. What's past is past. Even if you've taken drugs, it's still past.

Just as Old Wang was thinking about these things, the scene in front of him changed again, and he found himself in a magnificent Sanctum.

Before him stood four golden warriors, clad in full golden armor, wearing helmets that revealed only a pair of golden eyes, and with a pair of shimmering wings on their backs.

They each carried a sword, shield, axe, and spear, and blocked Old Wang's way.

Behind them stood a majestic Throne, and the Old Wang's task was to defeat the four of them and ascend to the throne adorned with a golden Elemental Crown.

The four guys in front of Old Wang were at the same level as him, but they possessed a characteristic that Old Wang hated most: they were Ignore magical attacks.

Fortunately, they were attacked one by one, and Old Wang, relying on medicine, managed to smash them to pieces with his Dragon-Rising Jian.

Judging from their low health, they are testing Old Wang's combat skills, but Player don't need this kind of test.

After smashing them, Old Wang finally sat on the golden Throne. The four figures and the elemental beings he had seen before appeared below and began to bow to him.
