Regus heard the man's words and said nonchalantly, “I won’t go. If we’re controlled by others, so be it. “Many people in the royal family go about their own business, using their status to do as they please. It’s fortunate for them that we belong to the same family, or I’d have killed them myself! “Let them fight for it. There’s no royal status in the ancient ruin, and their deaths will be in vain. “It can also teach those guys in the family a good lesson. Although this world belongs to the Beelzebub royal family, people with outstanding abilities are not lacking. “If they suffer a loss this time, they won't be so arrogant in the future.” In Regus' opinion, if someone from the Beelzebub royal family died in the ancient ruin, it would be a loss to the Beelzebub royal family and also other nobles. Feeling the pinch might make them remember this lesson. If not, Regus did not mind taking care of them afterward. The people around looked helpless upon hearing this. Only peopl
The current Cirrus City was very crowded as various people appeared. After all, the ancient ruin was 3,000 miles away from Cirrus City. Now that the ancient ruin had not appeared yet, most elemental practitioners and physique builders, as well as some unique professions, chose to stay in Cirrus City. Although everyone was a practitioner, they could not practice all day long. They had to relax occasionally, which led to overcrowding in certain entertainment establishments in Cirrus City. Philip was not idle in the past few days either. He stayed in the city to find some information. He knew very well that knowledge was power. A few days passed in a flash, and the opening of the ancient ruin drew closer. When Philip was in a tavern one day, he overheard someone talking. “Hey, did you hear? The ancient Heavenly Court sent some people over, and they also brought along a testing stone that can evaluate one’s level and talent! It’s said that anyone who doesn’t reach a certain lev
“The ancient ruin will open in three days. Now, anyone under the age of 50 can step forward and take the test. “This test is for your own good. If you don't want to die a tragic death in the ancient ruin, it's best to test your strength here.” With that said, the man stopped talking and quietly waited for qualified people to step forth. Everyone looked at each other. Although the man did not say much, he had revealed two crucial pieces of information. Firstly, the ancient ruin would open in three days! Secondly, the ancient ruin was full of danger! In fact, everyone was aware of the second point. After all, good things came with a price. Practice in itself was a death-defying act! The same held true for the opportunities in the ancient ruin. However, no one wanted to take the lead. After half an hour of silence, a drawling voice sounded. “What a bunch of trash. No one dares to take the test? In that case, the Cumulus Guild will set an example for you.” With that
Neal’s words were quite arrogant. However, no one present could say anything, while those stronger than Neal could not be bothered with him. Everyone could see his practice level—the peak of eight stars! It was a level that most ordinary people might not reach by the age of 40. Although everyone here could be considered a talent, even talents were divided into different levels! After Neal killed the man, the surroundings fell silent, and Neal walked to the testing stone with satisfaction. Seeing this, a nine-star expert said, “Just hit the testing stone with your strongest attack and you can see your true strength.” Hearing this, Neal raised his eyebrow. The next moment, a long sword appeared in his hand. The sword hilt was white, and the whole sword was covered in cloud patterns. Obviously, this sword was close to being a holy weapon! Boom! Neal poured his energy into the sword and slashed the testing stone in front of him. An ordinary stone would definitely crac
“There’s more to this test than meets the eye.” Philip's eyes twinkled. He suddenly felt that the ancient Heavenly Court's plan might not be what he imagined. Otherwise, they would not use this testing stone to test these talents who were about to enter the ancient ruin! Meanwhile, in a small yard of Cirrus City’s mayor's residence, two amiable old men sat here. One old man seemed to notice the movement in the square, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. “The first rare talent has appeared. Have you collected his aura?” “I have, but do we really want to do this?” The other old man frowned with a hint of worry in his eyes. “This action may invoke many people’s resentment.” “Sully, we’re doing this to find the strongest talent. Why would others resent this?” The first old man chuckled. Sully fell silent upon hearing that, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish. … In the square, the test continued without stopping, but Regus was the only rare talent who appe
These two people were quite famous, and this was the respect given by the crowd to powerful people. This was still a world where strength was revered. Only the strong would be acknowledged by others! Soon, the two arrived in front of the testing stone. The man in the golden robe who had not spoken before smiled and said, “The two of you are talents who have made quite a name for yourselves recently. In that case, I’ll personally conduct the test for you and announce your results.” Hearing this, the two said, “Thank you, Celestial General.” Both of them knew the identity of the man in the golden robe, the celestial general of the ancient Heavenly Court, Cabot. His level had reached the peak of nine stars. He had once challenged a holy-tier being of the ancient Heavenly Court. However, the difference in strength was too large, and he was crushed by the opponent's finger, but he was highly praised by the holy-tier being later. He even said that if Cabot entered the holy tier,
Cesar had reached that level at the age of 35. If opportunity knocked on his door, reaching the holy tier would not be a problem at all! Next to him, Jonas looked at Cesar and said with a smile, “Cesar, you're stressing me out.” Cesar laughed and said, “Jonas, stop kidding me. You’ve been hiding your age all this while. I’m afraid it won’t be a secret for long. Hurry up with the test.” Everyone was taken aback by that remark. Hiding his age? Was Jonas not 50 years old as rumored? Even Cabot was startled and turned to look at Jonas. Jonas smiled but did not explain. He strolled leisurely to the testing stone, and energy covered his whole body as he walked. The next moment, he casually attacked the testing stone. The testing stone instantly turned bright red, and a more intense golden light appeared among the red. Two large digits emerged. “47!” Cabot looked at Jonas intently and exhaled slowly. “Jonas, you’re too good at hiding.” Jonas did not explain but simply
Time passed slowly. When the day's tests were over, there were a total of six talents! This was just within the territory of the Beelzebub royal family. The test was not over yet. Once everything was done, who knew how many talents would appear? Philip’s bad foreboding became stronger. He could not help but feel that the ancient Heavenly Court was up to no good, but he had no idea what it was. “Whatever, let’s just go with the flow. Tomorrow is the second day and also the last. Maybe more talents will appear tomorrow.” Philip frowned. “With so many talents around, I can’t possibly subdue everyone. They have their pride, after all. This is tricky.” Philip shook his head. He stopped dwelling over it and wandered around the city instead. Cirrus City looked quite different at night. At first, most of the practitioners went to the entertainment establishments for fun, but this had decreased now. Some smart people built a small village outside the city and ran some businesses
