Chapter 620: Chapter 621: Unlocking the Mentor Rankings (Additional update for ’Not Clear, Not Bright’, 4/4!)

As Chu You looked at the task description, the crystal ball in the hall once again shone, and then released a light yellow aura next to it, followed by the opening of a space rift.

Dantai Jingning was very curious when she saw this phenomenon.

Chu You closed the interface and looked at the space rift. He knew that this rift was actually the entrance to a temporary dungeon. If he cleared it, then he would become a mentor.

Turning his head back to Dantai Jingning, Chu You calmly said, "Wait for me."

"Okay."

Having said that, Chu You turned around and strode towards the space rift. In the next moment, his figure disappeared from Dantai Jingning’s sight.

At this moment, Dantai Jingning opened the guild interface and looked at the grey name that had been offline all this time: Luoshui Huixi.

You are Chu You’s girlfriend, where are you now?!

Chu You appeared in a mysterious palace. There was nobody here. The doors of the palace were open and he could see the gloomy sky outside. As for the far-off landscapes, they were obscured. Cold winds blew in ceaselessly, causing the curtains to flutter violently and the candle flames to flicker without going out.

Chu You took steps forward against the wind. His silver-gray hair fluttered, and the Heaven’s Path Three-edged Feather on his head swayed more notably. Flecks of starlight fell from it and disappeared like fireflies. Arriving at the doorway, he saw that below was a bottomless cliff.

This was a palace built atop a towering mountaintop. No one knew exactly where it was.

Just then, an old voice came from behind, and Chu You turned around.

"Mentors are disseminators of knowledge and morality, physicians who heal the spiritual and physical wounds of the world! They should possess the appropriate wisdom. A mentor is a symbol of wisdom!"

The speaker was an old man with white hair but full of vitality who appeared quite suddenly.

Chu You remained silent and took more steps towards him.

"But in this world, there exist a large number of strong evil forces. If this continues, the world will be filled with ’unclean breath.’ The entrance to the Hell plane will also completely open at some point, and the forces of the Ancient Demon Race will awaken. They will form the ’Ash Catastrophe’!"

"Therefore, to save the world, a mentor is not only a symbol of wisdom, but also a symbol of strength! The world bestows upon the mentor a divine qualification!"

"So, to become a mentor, one needs to possess both wisdom and strength! Are you ready?"

"I am ready."

"You need to pass challenges of both literature and martial arts. Which one do you choose to challenge first?"

"First, let’s challenge martial arts!"

The old man nodded, displaying no change in his expression.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a straw figure appeared in the hall. The elder continued to speak, "In one minute, use your full strength to deal damage to it. The damage you inflict will have a value. After one minute, the total amount of damage will be accumulated. I’ll judge whether you have qualifications to be a mentor based on this number."

Chu You nodded, "I understand. I’m ready."

"Then, begin!" As the elder’s voice fell, a countdown appeared in Chu You’s vision, and at the same time, the elder disappeared.

Chu You calmly summoned the Divine Pet Emperor, then ordered her to attack the straw figure. In this strange space, a player’s pet can be summoned, but troops cannot.

Chu You understood that if a player below Level 50 encountered this challenge, the standard of judgement was based on the player’s current level. If they reached the pass mark in terms of damage output within 1 minute, they would qualify. If not, they could come back after they had upgraded their equipment and skill book.

If the player’s level was above 50, the challenge would become easier. The standard for judgment would be calculated based on Level 50. As long as the output reached the pass mark for Level 50 within 1 minute, it would be fine.

As the Divine Pet Emperor, especially with her Death Ray (Burst) and Super God Strike, without Chu You’s intervention, she could help him complete this task alone.

Chu You was completely confident about this.

In the palace, the sound of the Emperor’s skills rang out. She first used the ’Super God Strike!’, followed by a continuous onslaught of ’Death Ray (Burst)’, causing consistent damage on the straw figure.

This was why Chu You felt at ease.

The minute passed quickly. The elder reappeared so suddenly, waved his hand, and the straw figure vanished. At the same time, Chu You knew that the cooldown of the Divine Pet Emperor’s abilities had refreshed.

"Clap, clap, clap!" The elder applauded with a smile on his face, "Really impressive. In terms of strength, you are a very qualified mentor!"

"You have completed the martial arts challenge perfectly. Shall we now proceed to the literature challenge?" The elder confirmed.

Chu You nodded, "Sure."

"The literature challenge is to test your qualities as a mentor. Not only that, but you also need to guide your disciples’ values correctly and genuinely agree with them!"

"Sure."

"There is no time limit for this challenge. You need to read this book quietly. When you feel confident about everything, blow out the candle, and I will appear. The challenge will begin then!"

"Okay." As he said this, Chu You saw a thin book appear in the elder’s hand.

The elder used a spell again. A table appeared in front of Chu You, with a candle on it. At the same time, the hand holding the book flung it lightly, and the book floated onto the table.

"I hope you truly put your heart into it!" Having said that, the elder disappeared.

Chu You sat down, picked up the book calmly and started reading.

He got a rough idea of the contents of the book.

The contents of the book were actually meant to guide the players to have ’the correct values’ in ’Celestial World’. The content firstly covered the moral quality of mentors, which wasn’t a lot different from the real world. Secondly, it indoctrinated players not to oppose the existing ruling class. Instead, they should assist the ruling class in consolidating and aiding their power. Lastly, it included content about correctly guiding the disciples’ values!

There were roughly 5000 words in the book, but Chu You finished it in no time.

After he put down the book, he closed his eyes. The contents of the book appeared in his mind. Thanks to the special ability that had bizarrely enhanced his memory, Chu You remembered almost all of the 5000 words.

A moment later, he blew at the candle gently and the flame extinguished immediately.

At the same time, the figure of the elder appeared again next to him. He was smiling amiably and looking at Chu You.

"It seems you’ve already made good preparations. Let’s begin."

At this moment, the book on the table disappeared by itself.

Outside, Dantai Jingning was walking quietly. With her face hidden, it couldn’t be seen what she was thinking or what her expression was.

Dantai Jingning stood facing the space rift she could not enter. Her thoughts wandered as she recalled the scene when they first met.

Just then, Dantai Jingning was shocked as a notification appeared in her mind.

World Announcement: Congratulations to the ’Night Ghost’ player from the Huaxia district for successfully unlocking the Mentor Leaderboard!

Everyone was stunned at this moment. They did not anticipate this turn of events. After all, the NAP Guild in the North America district was the first to reach Level 8, yet they didn’t unlock the leaderboard first. What did this imply?

This implied that there was no mentor in the NAP Guild!

Moreover, the most concerning, most significant news was also clearly conveyed to everyone with the appearance of this world announcement: Night Ghost had become a mentor!
