“I’m rich!!!” thinking of physically rich rather than rich from the system’s standard, Wu Xiaotian, despite his relatively calm and easygoing demeanor shouts as he reads through the description of the rewards from the first test, each and every one of them being extremely useful to him in some ways.

Looking at the description, as well as the prize of the things in his hand, Wu Xiaotian looks dumbfounded as he got something that he will earn by grinding on the Infinite Qi System for weeks or even month by only fighting for at most a couple of days, not to mention without the feeling of dying by being squashed by the torrent of qi raging on the Infinite Qi Realm, added the bonus of him being able to practice his combat proficiency as he clears the test.
“I’ll leave this for mom” he said to himself as he looks at the Void-born Flower, as he thinks that it will be more beneficial for her to consume it given her current realm.
After a few more minutes of rest, the one-hour limit eventually runs out, his body already full rested, facing forward with confidence on his face as he mutters, “I probably need to battle it out with all my strength now, I guess I will be using that technique to its full potential”
Looking at a floating golden screen in front of him, he smiles as he looks at his final card, the very same reason why he’s so confident of facing enemies of the Nascent Source Realm.
“Given that my combat power exceeds even the peak of the Core Formation Realm, I should be able to deal with Nascent Source Realm existences, right?”
[Chaotic Order Weapon Art (Self-derived, from Order Chaos Contradiction Sword)]
[Info: Interpreting the chaos hidden within the order and the order hidden within the chaos, as well as how they complement each other through weapons. A perfect battle technique capable of suppressing any opponent under the same realm]
[Progress: Perfection State (Capable of increasing combat power by two states, no matter the realm)]
As the enemy emerges from the ground, he saw a humanoid figure wielding a sword, dashing at his direction the moment it saw him.
Running the art at its full power, his figure disappeared from his original position, the ground cracking from his explosive movement as he also meets the Nascent Source Realm puppet, drawing the blade from its sheath, he was surprised as he only intended to parry the downward strike that the figure is executing, but he passed through the figure with his blade cutting smoothly like butter not only the figure’s sword, but also the figure itself.
Turning back only to see the humanoid body’s upper half falling on the ground, he couldn’t help but smile wryly as he shook his head while muttering, “Looks like I overdid it”
“Congratulations on passing the first special level, reward, a dozen of celestial origin seed would you like to proceed to the next level?”
Hearing the mechanical voice resounding once again, Wu Xiaotian smiles as he never expected that he would hear it again in a short amount of time. Sitting down to start recovering, he replied to the mechanical voice, asking to proceed after the half hour break.
“Special level two, survive assault from two Early state Nascent Source Realm puppet with peak foundation”
Standing up from his sitting position, he walks forward to meet with the two puppets, now controlling the release of the Chaotic Order Weapon art so that it will only boost his combat power equal to his enemy, effectively reducing the previous massive consumption to a minimal, more sustainable one.
———-
Meanwhile in the other individual trial spaces, peoples are struggling just to fight against a hundred Core Formation Realm puppets with the same strength as them, the only few notable figures being the second in command from the other forces, the group of sworn brothers and sisters that Wu Xiaotian goes with and the leaders of the other forces, clearing through numerous levels before being stopped on either the sixth or the seventh one.
“Shit!!! I could’ve reached the tenth and final level if not for my injuries” an arrogant looking young man, arriving at the second trial space complained shamelessly, knowing full well that he can’t but too afraid to admit even to himself due to his fragile ego.
———-
“Hahhh… hahhh… Just… a bit more… to finish the seventh level” despite her disheveled figure, a phoenix-like young lady stood tall amidst the dozens of peak Core Formation Realm figures standing in front of her, firmly holding the sword in her small hands as she waves it unceasingly, each of her movements leaving behind trails of burning sword waves that travels through the air, charring the puppets while leaving marks on them, the burned marks as if calligraphy painted by a grandmaster of the art.
———-
“Hmmm? They’re getting harder to control…” looking at the figures with their clanky movements as if hindered by something, a seductive young lady uses more soul power, completely breaking through the puppets’ defenses and taking control of them, making them fight with each other as she also swings a fan, sharp winds slicing through the puppets that managed to get past the ones she controls.
———-
In another trial space, a young man wearing a daoist robe waits patiently until one of the figures approaching him attacks, skillfully maneuvering and controlling the force of said attack, redirecting it towards the other figures. Despite him destroying a lot of the puppets this way, there’s still a long way to go as there are still a bit over a hundred puppet left in the field.
“I hope I can get past this level at least” he said to himself as he redirects another attack, destroying couple of opponents nearby.
———-
“HAHAHAHA more!!! What a fun battle” swinging a large club flattening nearly all that comes in contact with it, a large, muscular man laughed maniacally, enjoying the sight of his enemies, as well as himself all bloodied, each of his swings seemingly increasing in strength as he got more and more injured.
