Chapter 724: Chapter 710: Examination Statistics - Tian Fang Tops!"_1

"Consider yourself lucky!"

In an instant, the third round of trials in the War God Temple came to an end. The other warrior dared not attack others for their Exotic Beast values anymore. He snarled viciously then shot off towards where they were to gather.

As the announcement of the conclusion of the trials fell, there were also the unlucky ones. They were teleported out from the secret realm of the trials at this exact instant. They could only sustain a frustrated roar as the echoing voice reverberated around, but they were helpless.

"It’s over!" "The examination is over!"

Around the perimeter, the many warriors’ surroundings suddenly erupted into sounds of uproar.

"From over five thousand and five hundred people, three thousand have been eliminated. That’s nearly sixty percent! These individuals are all talents in their own right. If nurtured well within the tribe, they will surely have a bright future."

At this point outside the War God Temple, various tribal elders also came to join in the fun. They had a clear understanding of the procedures and outcomes of the War God Temple’s trials thanks to their younger generation participating in the trials.

Among these young warriors who were eliminated, apart from some from the tribes, a significant proportion were rangers or independent cultivators. These individuals were not necessarily weak. Some were merely unlucky; however, their talent was undeniable. Despite their elimination, their potential remains promising if they join one’s tribe and are given time to develop. They could form the backbone of any organization.

Xiao Chen and Bai Ze had both made significant efforts to attract talented warriors, but that didn’t mean they were restricting the other tribes from attempting to recruit the warriors for their use. Soon, the elders of the tribes rushed into the crowd, enticing the eliminated young warriors with extravagant offers.

Naturally, for some of the rangers, the middle-tier Battle Divisions were lofty existences that they hoped for but didn’t dare to reach for. A considerable proportion of rangers accepted the enticing offers of the Battle Divisions while others did not.

A short while later...

In the War God Temple, after the third round of trials, all the warriors who had passed were placed within the War God Temple.

The War God Temple from the outside looked like an endless palace that covered a dozen or so miles. Compared to the immense Wilderness, the areas occupied by the grand and towering structures of the War God Temple were merely equivalent to a regular mountain city inhabited by a Human War Tribe.

However, the real base of the War God Temple existed within the Secret Realm.

Passing through an archway standing tens of feet high, on top of the stairs carved out of white jade stone on either side, countless divine beasts, including dragons, phoenixes, serpents, Kunpeng, gluttons, etc., were engraved. And just before the Great Hall at the end was an enormous plaza that covered several miles.

Close to two thousand disciples stood respectfully on the plaza, glancing around curiously at the unfamiliarity of everything in the War God Temple. But no matter how hard they racked their brains to glean something from their surroundings, they could only see ordinary palaces in front of them without any peculiarities visible. They were merely more majestic than the other palaces.

Boom!

The doors to the central hall opened and a lovely figure, Lin Cai Er, hopped out.

"Are these the warriors who passed the trials? There aren’t many, are there!" Her clear voice immediately reached every warrior’s ears.

Hearing her voice, the bodies of the Gu Yuan Tribe Warriors visibly shrank, and the excitement from passing the trials faded slightly.

The newcomers were indeed Lin Cai Er and Shi Ya. Nevertheless, the other warriors on the plaza seemed as if they were facing a great enemy. Both Lin Cai Er’s undisguised aura and Shi Ya’s violent demeanour demonstrated to the warriors that the individuals before them were Massive Tower Realm Martial Experts.

"Cai Er, this is already quite an accomplishment. Picking out nearly two thousand warriors from eighty thousand, that’s quite remarkable. Every one of these individuals is a seed of Martial Arts. Given time and our War God Temple’s cultivation, soaring improvement is inevitable." Shi Ya said in a soft voice to the flustered Lin Cai Er.

"Let’s go, the Tribe Leader is awaiting these warriors’ audience."

Lin Cai Er knew it was not the time for her to be arrogant. She nodded her head and said explicitly, "Follow us. The real War God Temple is inside that Great Hall!"

The Secret Realm!

This thought flashed through everyone’s minds again, causing their hearts to stir.

In the Secret Realm of the War God Temple, the environment had undergone drastic transformation over the past few days, and the entire Secret Realm was divided into three major parts.

The Gravity Ancient Mountain was an ancient mountain in the Secret Realm with gravitational force dozens of times stronger than that during the trials in the outer world of the War God Temple. The gravitational force at the peak was sufficiently intense for fourth-tier Towering Realm warriors to hone their physical body.

The Gravity Ancient Mountain covered several miles in radius and was supplemented by over ten smaller mountains connected to each other by a winding path. Residential courtyards for the disciples of the War God Temple were scattered on the mountain, starting from about a hundred feet from the ground. The gravitational pressure varied at different positions on the mountain, and where one could reside depended on their strength.

Beneath the Ancient Mountain lied a string of interconnected palaces. They were the various departments of the War God Temple, such as Technique Pavilion, Battle Merit Hall, Mission Hall, Martial arts Venue, and even an arena for resolving disputes through life and death combat. The last portion was the Vast Wilderness Ancient Mountain on the outermost periphery, filled with Exotic Beasts and other tribes hidden. It acted as the training ground for the warriors to refine their combat skills.

Below the ancient mountain, there was a high platform that stood more than ten feet above the ground. At this moment, on top of the high platform, Xiao Chen and his two wives, Elder Shi, and several tribal chieftains and elders were seated.

Under the guidance of Shi Ya and another, those warriors who had passed the exam lined up in formation on top of the high platform.

"We pay our respects to Elder Xiao and all the seniors!" echoed around the entire secret realm.

"Stand up, no need for formalities." Xiao Chen faintly smiled, made a light wave of his right hand, and instantly, the two thousand warriors felt as if they had been lifted by an invisible force.

At this moment, these warriors who had passed the three-stage examination all revealed a look of excitement, their bodies even trembling.

"Thank you, Elder Xiao!"

The multitude of warriors respectfully rose to their feet.

Then subconsciously, their gaze turned towards Xiao Chen on the high platform. Xiao Chen’s reputation could be said to be shaking the border wasteland. His earlier battle against the Bai Ze Ancestor and his war spear standing across the sky was indeed a strike breaking the vault of heaven, especially when the Bai Ze Ancestor retreated, his words about becoming a king absolutely made the border wasteland feel like there was thunder echoing.

This is the desolate borderland, a true giant of one party, a strong one of the modern world with the blood of exotic races stained on his hand.

"Since you are standing here, it means that all of you have passed the examination of the War God Temple and become disciples of the War God Temple, and for that, I congratulate you!"

Xiao Chen’s words rang again, although plain, but in the eyes of all warriors, they felt an invisible pressure weighing on their bodies, causing their minds to tighten involuntarily, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.

"Passing the three-stage examination means that your talent, determination, and will are all excellent. Each of you has your unique charms. I’ve seen your performance in this three-stage examination. Today, I will take a few disciples from among you."

Xiao Chen spoke slowly, scanning the multitude of young warriors below. Upon hearing these words, the warriors were surprised, but most of them quickly regained their composure. They understood that only those with extraordinary talent would be chosen as disciples. Although they were also skilled, there were always stronger individuals among the strong.

"As expected!"

Among those on the high platform, some people understood when they heard that Xiao Chen intended to take disciples. These people were the tribal chiefs. They were eager to have the prodigies that emerged through the examination under their wings like the two parts of the Bai Ze celestial platform. However, Xiao Chen had cut off their reaching hands.

"Next, let’s calculate everyone’s obtained beast value in the third stage examination."

Shi Ya appeared again, followed by Lin Cai Er, who volunteered to help tally up the beast values.

After an hour, a total of one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three warriors had their acquired beast values recorded.

"Chief, all the young warriors who have passed the examination now have their beast values calculated."

Shi Ya respectfully saluted to the people above, on top of the high platform.

"Announce the top hundred warriors along with their beast values." Hearing this, Xiao Chen spoke in a deep voice, which instantly caused the young warriors’ hearts to tighten. They understood that the personal disciples whom Xiao Chen would take in would come from these hundred individuals, or even among the top ten.

"The person with the highest beast value is Tian Fang, with seven thousand and thirty merit points!"

What Shi Ya said next immediately caused a lot of discussion. In everyone’s mind, the one with the highest beast value was thought to be between the two most popular candidates - Long Tian and Kun Peng. Yet, they were stunned when Tian Fang emerged halfway to take the lead.

However, there was no surprise in Xiao Chen’s eyes. With Tian Fang’s talent for formation methods, capturing the first place was easy. Tian Fang was able to hide his body and restrain exotic beasts with his formations, securing the top spot with ease.

For a warrior like Tian Fang, who had a talent in formation methods within the tribe, Xiao Chen also paid great attention, collecting materials for him to use in Array Dao personally. The ability to understand Array Dao from a fragmentary manual indicated an unmatched talent in formation methods. Perhaps in a few decades or a hundred years, his tribe would have a master in formation methods.

His gaze lingered, and he said in a low voice, "Well done!"

However, this caused immense shock among the other warriors, especially Long Tian and the others, their eyes filled with disbelief. Xiao Chen saw all of these reactions, but he thought that these two still needed to be polished a bit. Their competitive spirit was far too intense.

"Long Tian, six thousand nine hundred and ninety merit points."

"Kun Peng, six thousand nine hundred and eighty merit points."

Sure enough, what came next confirmed everyone’s guess, with the beast values of Long Tian and Kun Peng ranking second and third respectively, with the difference between them being just the slaying of one more beast.
