And so, half an hour passed.
The nine mechanical puppets ran out of energy.
Ning Chuan secured the victory.
"Congratulations on your promotion to First-Class Divine Servant! Reward: One certificate and 2048 drops of Heavenly Primal Liquid!"
The spirit descended with rewards.
Its tone had subtly changed, no longer as cold and indifferent as before.
Ning Chuan reached out and accepted the reward, a hint of curiosity in his heart. He was already First-Class Divine Servant; what would be the next level he would be promoted to?
At the same time.
outside world.
The ninth floor of the Divine Servant Tower emitted a bright light, as dazzling as fire, making it particularly eye-catching in the night sky!
Upon seeing this, the crowd erupted in commotion, their emotions running high.
They actually cleared nine floors?!
"Just who is this big shot? The difficulty of the Genius Assessment Tower increases exponentially, and this person has cleared nine levels. That means their talent absolutely crushes the likes of Mo Duo and Shen Yourong!"
"It can't be Ning Chuan, can it?"
"I think it's possible. Aside from World Walker, I can't imagine anyone else who could do it!"
Some speculated that this connection to Ning Chuan resonated with a large number of supporters.
However, some explorers felt this was unreasonable.
"Didn't they say that after the Heavenly King's attack, Ning Chuan returned to the Federation?"
"This is just our logical deduction; there's no empirical evidence. Ning Chuan might not have left!"
"That's entirely possible. Looking back, God Ning's irrational behavior has been quite common!"
The heated discussions continued unabated, almost causing a stir.
Many people are expressing their opinions and arguing about the identity of the examiners.
The same applies to Yu Wei and Shen Yourong.
The master and apprentice lost their initial certainty and began to doubt again.
Because the time required to clear the ninth floor is much longer than that of the first eight floors, taking a full half hour.
Shen Yourong thought for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly, and transmitted her voice, "Master, if it really is Ning Chuan, I think he could kill even the ninth level instantly!"
Yu Wei pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. We don't know what the assessment method is; perhaps there are some kind of restrictions."
Buzz!
Just then, the Divine Servant Tower suddenly changed.
The first level of the tower, except for the entrance Ning Chuan entered through, had eight other portals that trembled slightly, their light flowing, teleporting all forty examinees inside out.
Many of them were battling mechanical puppets when they suddenly appeared outside, looking dazed and confused, not knowing what had happened.
But the next moment, they understood why.
The Divine Servant Tower emitted a loud, deafening sound that carried far across the night sky.
"The tenth level of the assessment is crucial for selecting the Goddess of Night's Personal Divine Guard; failure is not an option. All other assessments are temporarily suspended!"
" Personal Divine Guard, the highest honor, must not be favored or abused!"
The selection process will be conducted openly and transparently!
The words had barely left his mouth.
A massive beam of light, over a hundred feet long and wide, was projected and hovered above the Divine Servant Tower, clearly visible to everyone.
The scene presented is the tenth level of the Divine Servant Tower.
Two figures in black robes stood ramrod straight.
It was Ning Chuan and Qin Ya.
The two also heard the spirit's public statement, but they didn't mind. Their disguise was meant to be discovered and to lure Wu Guangzhi into a trap.
This saves a lot of trouble.
What are the assessment methods?
Ning Chuan asked a question, looking up at a figure that resembled Moon Spirit, with blurred features, floating in mid-air.
It is the spirit of the artifact.
As to whether it was the real body or a condensed illusion, Ning Chuan was unsure.
The spirit's voice was calm as it said, " First-Class Divine Servant who clears ten levels can be promoted to Personal Divine Guard, but not all First-Class Divine Servant can participate."
Ning Chuan casually asked, "Is there an age limit?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Ya gritted her teeth and glared at him fiercely.
Before he could speak, the spirit nodded in a human-like manner and said, "Yes, one's cultivation years cannot exceed thirty years; the Goddess of Night dislikes those who are old."
Are people over thirty considered elderly?
Qin Ya suddenly wanted to demolish the Divine Servant Tower!
The spirit added, "Furthermore, First-Class Divine Servant need to have regular facial features, excellent appearance, and a harmonious physique to be eligible to participate in the selection."
Ning Chuan's face twitched.
In other words, a spirit needs to be handsome and have a good physique!
He thought it was a bit outrageous.
Do even gods have a thing for good looks?
Outside the tower, the crowd watching the light screen was speechless.
Many ordinary-looking explorers, in particular, felt the full force of divine malice.
" First-Class Divine Guard, you must first remove any coverings from your body to verify if you meet the requirements."
The spirit raised a hand and pointed at Ning Chuan's black robe.
Upon hearing this, everyone perked up and turned to look at the black-robed figure in the image.
The other person reached out with their right hand, grabbed the left shoulder, and then quickly pulled the black robe off.
A cool and aloof young man appeared, tall and handsome, exuding an aura of indifference and coldness beyond his years.
World Walker, Ning Chuan!
The crowd erupted in a commotion, the noise echoing through the night.
"I guessed right, it really is Ning Chuan!"
"Reaching the tenth floor, possessing unparalleled talent Federation —this isn't just talk!"
" The God Ning belongs to someone else! Someone, restore the Goddess of Darkness's health! I'm going to kill this face-obsessed jerk!"
Some of the bolder female students joked and laughed.
"Waaaaah... I also want World Walker my personal bodyguard!"
Amidst the clamor of discussion.
On the other side.
The spirit circled Ning Chuan once and said, "You fully meet the requirements and can participate in the selection of Personal Divine Guard!"
Ning Chuan looked at it, waiting for the next part.
The spirit said calmly, " The Personal Divine Guard are the Goddess of Night's last and most important line of defense. When facing other gods, they must have the courage to kill them!"
"The tenth level's test will examine the soul and will of First-Class Divine Guard!"
As he spoke, the spirit raised his hand and waved.
The ground rumbled and rocks flew everywhere as a magnificent staircase rose up, with thirteen stories, just like the Divine Servant Tower.
"The strength of one's soul determines whether First-Class Divine Servant can withstand the pressure of the gods!"
"The strength of one's will determines whether First-Class Divine Servant has the courage to face the gods!"
The spirit's tone was filled with fervor.
Ning Chuan remained calm, surveying the magnificent steps that had just appeared; the assessment was clearly related to him.
The spirit looked at Ning Chuan and said, "To pass through ten levels and become the Personal Divine Guard of the Goddess of Night, you need to climb to the highest step."
The words were finished.
On the thirteenth step, a huge human skull, the size of a house, appeared, with an ancient gate engraved between its eyebrows.
The spirit pointed and explained, "This is the head of the Berserk God of Bloody Battle. He was killed by the Goddess of Night during a divine war, and his body was forged into the Divine Servant Tower. His head serves as the tenth level's barrier, radiating divine power to target your soul and will."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.
The God of Slaughter Forges Weapons!
The Goddess of Night is truly a formidable character!
Fortunately, it's all gone, vanished like smoke.
Otherwise, having ransacked one of her warehouses would definitely have gotten him into trouble.
