The third stage was ongoing, with powerful beast tamers, diverse Divine Art, brilliant beast taming tactics, and extraordinary basic attributes that surpassed those of ordinary Demigod, opening the eyes of the geniuses from the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy.
Only then did they realize that they were not geniuses at all.
A true genius possesses such a solid foundation, such profound Divine Art, such exquisite application of power, and such formidable trump cards.
Even if everyone is at the same level of life, their combat power can never be on the same level.
Jiang Ziliu learned a lot from it, many things he didn't usually come into contact with.
The advantage of being a person who lives a long life and avoids trouble is that you will have less experience and a narrower perspective.
The competition continued, and eventually Xue Qiuye also made it into the ranks of those who could use the opportunity.
Their third challenge only required obtaining an opportunity, not a ranking, so once the list of opportunities was released, the others no longer needed to fight.
In the end, Xue Qiuye successfully secured this opportunity to advance.
She relied entirely on her terrifying combat talent and her exquisite and masterful use of power to successfully fight her way to the end.
Even though she was born into the Asura Race, it was extremely difficult for her to fight her way to victory in the final battle.
Opportunities that can increase the probability of advancement are extremely precious.
Even a one percent chance of improvement would be enough to make countless Demigod Ninth Stage, who aspire to Planetary-Rank God, fight tooth and nail for it.
This opportunity, however, can improve one's abilities by about 30%, which is why it has attracted so many geniuses from various races.
The opportunity has begun. A group of people, including the victors of the competition for the opportunity and the demigods at the Demigod Ninth Stage of the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy who have been selected, enter the Land of Opportunity together and begin their advancement adventure.
Their adventure began, and the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy and the God Rank powerhouses behind these prodigies appeared one after another, guarding the area to prevent any accidents from interrupting their advancement journey.
The advancement began; they ignited their Divine Fire and embarked on their respective adventures.
The Divine Fire, seemingly illusory, ignited their souls, causing the rules to merge with their souls, thus beginning their journey towards God Rank.
Divine Fire is burning, rules are condensing, and Divine Spark is gradually forming.
In this process, the more rules one comprehends, the more difficult it becomes to form Divine Spark, and the greater the danger becomes.
The lower the level of understanding of the rules, the lower the risk.
However, the advantage of having more rules is that the higher the rank of the Divine Spark after advancement, the greater the achievement.
The rules are few, and the rank of the Divine Spark after advancement is low.
The lowest level of Divine Spark is first-class Divine Spark, and there is no upper limit.
A first-rank Divine Spark will be stuck at the initial stage of Planetary-Rank God for life, with no possibility of advancing to the next level of life Stellar-Rank God.
There is absolutely no possibility!
For many Demigod Ninth Stage powerhouses, achieving such Planetary-Rank God is not as good as quietly staying in the Demigod Ninth Stage and not advancing.
After all, he risked his life, only to end up as a weakling on another level. It would be better to remain a powerful Demigod Ninth Stage.
Therefore, they generally do not limit themselves in their understanding of the rules, but rather the more rules they understand, the better, and the deeper they understand, the better.
Since I've already risked my life, I must forge the best Divine Spark I can achieve, even if it means perishing during the advancement process, I will have no regrets.
Even with the help of a fortuitous encounter, this group of Demigod Ninth Stage still face considerable risks.
Not long after, the first person to fail to advance appeared.
This person was a woman, recommended by the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy. She wasn't some prodigy, but rather more like the daughter of one of the academy's powerful figures.
The moment she failed to advance, one of the elderly men guarding her suddenly burst into tears of sorrow.
The Divine Fire went out of control, scorching her soul. Then, the Divine Fire transformed into divine matter, burning her divine body and Divine Kingdom together.
In the end, this woman at the Demigod Ninth Stage left nothing behind.
The advancement from Demigod to God is like this: one becomes a new strongman and begins a new journey in life, while the loser leaves not even a speck of dust behind.
She only got in through connections with the academy. This opportunity increased her chances of advancing, but her foundation was too weak. Even with this opportunity, she couldn't avoid the factors that would lead to failure.
She wasn't the only one who failed.
The second to fail was one of the most promising young talents, and also the one who made the most unexpected move.
Demigod prodigy of the Black Dragon Race!
He had the deepest foundation and was good at seizing opportunities, but he still encountered that less than 10% to 30% failure rate and was burned to nothingness by the Divine Fire!
It can be said that advancing to the Planetary-Rank God is the biggest gamble on the path of life.
That woman's failure is normal.
After all, under normal circumstances, most people will perish when they advance in rank, and only a very few can step into the realm of God and begin a new chapter in their lives.
The defeat of the Black Dragon Race's prodigy is not surprising.
After all, his foundation was too profound, and he had comprehended too many rules. Fusing so many rules with his divine soul in the Divine Fire to form Divine Spark was an enormous burden. It was like climbing a mountain with an overweight rock, and if he was not careful, he would fall to the bottom of the mountain along with the rock.
He had too many rules, which ultimately led to his failure.
But the fall of these prodigies was just the beginning. One after another, these prodigies burned themselves into nothingness in the Divine Fire.
This journey to the next round is, in reality, a classic suicide adventure.
The fall of one Demigod Ninth Stage after another made the students of the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy's eyelids twitch, and they couldn't hide their fear.
But what they didn't know was that the academy's higher-ups were watching their reaction.
Only those who remain calm, even showing a yearning for advancement to God, and unafraid of the risk of death, will truly catch the eye of the higher-ups at the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy and receive genuine training from the academy in the future.
As for the others, let them grow naturally and fend for themselves within the rules of the academy.
What the academy needs are strong minds and resilient wills, not weaklings who are terrified of failure.
The entire advancement process lasted nearly ten days.
Of the academy's final recommendation slots, 60% perished, and only 40% achieved spiritual elevation, advancing to the Planetary-Rank God.
Of the cosmic prodigies who competed for the top position, only 50% perished and 50% successfully advanced.
The moment an advanced individual fully enters the Planetary Rank and their aura becomes uncontrollably revealed, they will be immediately transferred away by the powerful members of the Milky Way Beast Taming Academy to prevent their Planetary Rank life pressure from interfering with others.
Xue Qiuye was lucky; she was among the powerful beings who successfully advanced to the level of God.
This adventure left the others sweating bullets, but Jiang Ziliu had a different understanding and quietly disappeared behind them.
This time, he encountered a special opportunity.
