Chapter 1508: Chapter 613: Cheating?
Underneath the Trial Black Tower, the starlight fell on Zou Jia’s face, highlighting the slightly stiff smile on his face.
It was a smile he was forcibly maintaining.
Deep in his eyes, Zou Jia had already begun to regret.
He had spoken too rashly earlier, confidently declaring that Xu Jin couldn’t pass the re-selection, asserting he was a rookie.
The only thing he was grateful for was his tendency to always leave a margin and seek good relations.
Although he had previously judged Xu Jin as a rookie, he did not dismiss Xu Jin’s questions. On the contrary, he answered all that he could.
Renewing the connection now wouldn’t seem overly opportunistic.
This was because Zou Jia shared the opinion with most people.
In the initial selection, trialists with lower cultivation levels actually had an advantage.
Because the further into the later period, the harder it became to kill enemies across great realms.
But the re-selection mainly tested Divine Soul Cultivation, and the minimum requirement for participating trialists was Fifth Tier Early Period. He had sensed that Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation was at the Fifth Tier Primordial Spirit Peak.
Only a small realm weaker than him.
Thus, the difficulty faced in the re-selection was only slightly less than his.
Yet he could emerge much faster than him.
This was remarkable.
If Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation broke through and bore the Daoist Embryo, he would only become stronger.
Making connections with experts was one of Zou Jia’s ways to strengthen himself.
Zou Jia’s smile sweetened once again, and he began enthusiastically chatting with Xu Jin.
Beside them, Tan Taiqi, masked by Silver Sparrow, looked at the enthusiastic Zou Jia with disdain.
A man of opportunism.
The gaze she cast towards Xu Jin also carried a hint of disdain.
Despite talents and strength, yet blind.
"Brother, honestly tell me, how long did you take to defeat that Daoist Embryo Middle Period trial spirit? If you persisted for 100 breaths in passing, you definitely wouldn’t be the first to come out." After chatting for a while, Zou Jia finally asked the question he was most curious and eager to know.
With Divine Soul Cultivation at the Fifth Tier Primordial Spirit Peak, slaying a Daoist Embryo Middle Period trial spirit was extremely difficult.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jin frowned, "A Daoist Embryo Middle Period?"
"Yeah. According to the previous assessment pattern, with your Fifth Tier Primordial Spirit Peak, in the third stage of the re-selection, your trial spirit should be a Daoist Embryo Middle Period one.
It certainly couldn’t be a Daoist Embryo Late Period." Zou Jia was taken aback.
A flicker of surprise crossed Xu Jin’s eyes.
No, that’s not right!
According to the pattern of the first two stages, the third stage of the re-selection should be as Zou Jia said, but the difficulty of his third stage suddenly increased three to five times.
Three Sixth Tier Daoist Embryo Late Period trial spirits, complete with bodies.
Something definitely went wrong among them.
To confirm, Xu Jin asked again, "So, Mr. Zou, during your third stage of the re-selection, you encountered a Sixth Tier Daoist Embryo Late Period trial spirit?"
"Exactly! It took me a full ten breaths to break free from the illusion realm, and then another ten breaths to slay it. It was so difficult." Zou Jia said.
"I broke free from the illusion realm a bit faster."
A ripple had already risen in Xu Jin’s heart.
It could be confirmed that his third stage of the re-selection was indeed different.
If it were the same, Zou Jia would take ten breaths to break free from the illusion realm and would have been shattered by the other two trial spirits long ago.
Where did the problem arise?
The corner of Xu Jin’s eye glanced over the law enforcers above the Black Tower.
Was it this person deliberately making it difficult for him?
Or was it some grudge?
Or perhaps he had seen through some of his roots?
At this thought, Xu Jin’s heart already became vigilant, harboring deep caution.
...
As more and more people returned after passing the re-selection, seeing Xu Jin, the rookie, was rather surprising.
The gazes falling on Xu Jin were increasing.
More and more people began scrutinizing Xu Jin.
Some even boldly used Divine Thought to sense Xu Jin.
Xu Jin frowned, but Zou Jia exploded first, "Anyone who dares to probe recklessly, once the battle begins, I’ll lock onto your aura and hunt you down. I don’t mind not taking this month’s rewards."
In an instant, the Divine Thoughts peering from all directions moved away.
Although Zou Jia was opportunistic, judging by the speed at which he passed the initial and re-selection, he was also one of the leaders in this round of trials.
"Thank you, Mr. Zou." Xu Jin expressed his gratitude.
"Brother, mainly you don’t know, these guys are eyeing you because of your low cultivation level, thinking they can take advantage. Since the third stage involves actual combat, they’re hoping to pick a soft target." Zou Jia explained.
Hearing this, Xu Jin began to discuss the third stage situation with Zou Jia.
From all directions, many who had passed the re-selection, through both the eliminated and those who knew Xu Jin was the first to pass, had already put Xu Jin on a special watch list.
Especially during the encounter in the third stage, Xu Jin’s Divine Soul attacks were to be watched extremely closely.
Starlight flashed like a shuttle.
More and more trialists passed the re-selection, but clearly, many were also eliminated.
The number of people below the Black Tower was more than half less than before the re-selection began.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the second round re-selection of the May trial has concluded. A total of twenty thousand three hundred and seventy-one people passed. In 15 minutes, the third-round ranking tournament of the trial will begin."
The voice of Law Enforcer Piscator sounded, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Xu Jin.
This number made Xu Jin’s heart vigilant.
The elimination rate was still very high.
The registration limit was two hundred thousand, presumably full, with only over twenty thousand passing the first two rounds.
A ten percent pass rate.
The key is, based on the trial content of the initial and re-selection, those who could pass the first two rounds were geniuses capable of defeating enemies across great realms.
