At the dinner table, the topic of conversation shifted from Phoebus to the other two trial-takers that Alan was also familiar with.
Nora and Pamela teamed up to make big news.
The story begins two days ago.
In the final stage of the four-way melee, the angel army of the "Holy White Tower", under the leadership of "Hui Yuntian" and "Yue Huatian", launched a counterattack against the demon clan of the "Blood Hand Fortress".
At that time, the main force of the demons was fighting fiercely with the Devil Legion in the "Iron Fist Fortress".
Cassius, the Bull Demon General who was originally in charge of guarding the old nest, was killed in the previous battle, leaving a lack of a general of sufficient weight to take charge.
The angel army took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce offensive.
Initially, the operation went smoothly and they even broke into the inner city.
The two demon generals at the front line, upon learning that their hometown had been destroyed, hurriedly led their troops to provide assistance.
During the march, they were ambushed by the Holy White Tower.
Participants included those who had joined the angels, mainly the Silver Moon Warlocks led by Master Shiva.
There is also the elemental sorcerer of Pamela's school, and the "Rakshasa ghost girl" Nora, who has always been a loner and is both good and evil.
Frequent ambushes and harassments slowed down the demon army's marching speed.
Then, worse news came.
The devil's army also joined the ranks of beating the demons.
It turns out that the Holy White Tower and the Iron Fist Fortress have secretly formed an alliance.
Angels and demons unite to encircle and suppress the devil!
The demon army was attacked from all sides and was on the verge of being completely wiped out.
But at this critical moment, an accident happened.
The devil's army suddenly turned against the angels and started attacking them!
Why is this happening?
In hindsight, it seems that the devils do not want the demons to be completely eliminated, and would rather maintain a three-way balance of power and mutual restraint.
The trial participants who participated in this battle felt quite overwhelmed at the time.
On the contrary, the angels of the Holy White Tower did not seem surprised by the devil's betrayal.
Perhaps it has long been recognized that if the devil does not betray his allies, he is not a real devil.
When angels, demons and devils were caught in a melee, the real protagonist on the battlefield finally showed his edge.
Pamela and Nora, who belong to the Holy White Tower, had performed well in the battle against evil spirits.
He was highly appreciated by the high-ranking officials in the heavenly realm and followed "Hui Yuntian" and "Yue Huatian" as their adjutant.
However, these two people betrayed the trust of the four-winged angel.
When the two angels were fighting fiercely with the demon general, an assassination attempt suddenly occurred!
The two four-winged angels were assassinated by a traitor and unfortunately died.
Pamela and Nora took advantage of the chaos to seize the blood essence of "Hui Yuntian" and "Yue Huatian" and directly opened the trial ring.
Escape from the battlefield at the speed of light and flee back to the City of Origin!
The trial participants who witnessed this were deeply shocked!
I can't understand how they could dare to do such a vicious thing without considering the consequences.
Were they bribed by the devil, or were they undercover agents planted by the devil in heaven?
Don’t they know that once the betrayers set foot in the trial space, they will be hunted down by angels no matter where they are?
Pamela and Nora did not explain these questions.
In fact, they don't need to mind being chased by angels.
There are only two days left in the trial. From the moment they decided to assassinate the angel, they had no intention of entering the trial space again.
Anyway, the angels can't chase them to Origin City to settle accounts with them.
It’s just a one-time deal, and I’ll run away after I’m done!
In the next two days, Pamela and Nora practiced in seclusion, integrating the blood essence of "Hui Yuntian" and "Yue Huatian" respectively!
When the news spread, it caused discussion and suspicion among people.
You know, this is not the first time that Pamela and Nora have merged their bloodlines.
Pamela had previously fused the blood of the Wind Giant and the blood of the Silver Titan.
Nora is not far behind, having already merged the two high-level undead bloodlines of the Crimson Mist Demon and the Vampire Count.
Including the angel bloodline, these two crazy women actually each fused three bloodlines within just a hundred days!
Each fusion has a maximum chance of success of only 50%.
The probability of three consecutive successes is one in eight.
To be fair, the probability is not high, but it is not as low as winning the lottery.
The question is, is it worth risking your life for this one-eighth chance of good luck?
The vast majority of sane people would not accept such a gamble.
"When Allen helped me, my sister, and my mother fuse the blood of the Abyss Scorpion, the success rate was as high as 80%. Even so, the three of us wrote a suicide note in advance."
Spanna held a glass of red wine and expressed her feelings.
"Pamela and Nora actually gambled their lives three times in a row and succeeded every time. I can only say... these two crazy women are really not afraid of death!"
"Is there a possibility that they have mastered some skills to increase the success rate of blood fusion? They have a plan in mind, so they are not panicking."
Kelly made a more rational guess.
Tanya's heart moved, and she turned her head and whispered to Alan: "Pamela came to see you again?"
Apart from Allen, she didn't know any other trial-taker who could increase the success rate of blood fusion.
"Pamela never contacted me. I just heard about it today."
Alan shook his head slightly.
"It's even more impossible for Nora to look for me. We don't have that kind of relationship."
"If Pamela came to you, would you be able to refuse her?" Tao Na suddenly interrupted.
This is exactly what Tanya wanted to ask, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
Alan said nothing and concentrated on eating.
Julie glared at Taona and signaled her to stop making trouble.
"Since this matter has nothing to do with Allen, we can only envy their good luck."
Spanna took over the conversation and sighed with mixed feelings.
"You've heard about what happened to Levis and Akbar, right?"
Levis, the black cardinal of the Human Demon Cult, was not satisfied after upgrading his bone demon bloodline to ice demon bloodline, and tried to be promoted to horned demon.
As a result, he failed to complete the gambling agreement signed with the Horned Mage, lost his life, and his soul was taken away by the Horned Mage.
"Wolf Prince" Akbar, who had previously successfully integrated the blood of three hellhounds, was extremely confident.
Keep going and try to integrate the Behemoth bloodline.
Unfortunately, he failed and died of blood collapse three days ago...
Akbar's sister Beiting and Beiting's lover Tafman were lucky enough to successfully fuse the Behemoth bloodline.
"Alas, sometimes I have to admit that people with the same destiny have different fates!"
Allen was not familiar with Levis.
Just heard from Sonia that the relationship between her and the black cardinal was just so-so, and they were superficially close but spiritually distant.
Perhaps he was afraid that Sonia, a rising star, would replace him as the second-in-command in the cult.
In order to maintain his own power, he suppressed Sonia intentionally or unintentionally.
As Sonia's friend, Allen was indifferent to Levis' death.
But Akbar, he was too familiar with it.
From the Civil War to the Trial in the City of Origin, Allen had dealt with this "Wolf Prince" many times.
Previously, the two sides were in hostile camps and had a feud with each other.
After arriving in Origin City, the relationship eased somewhat.
Alan could feel that the Wolf brothers and sisters were trying to be friendly with him and turn enemies into friends.
The second senior brother, Tuffman, as well as Caroline and her daughter, also directly or indirectly expressed their intention to mediate.
If Akbar was not so concerned about his reputation and took the initiative to bow down to him and Sonia, apologize for forcibly extracting the blood essence of Hugo and Marlowe, and make compensation, Alan would not mind turning his enemy into a friend.
If he could show enough sincerity, it might even be possible to help him fuse the Behemoth bloodline.
Unfortunately, the Wolf Prince was naturally unruly, and ultimately he was too embarrassed to ask for peace, so he chose to take a gamble instead.
In the end, he lost the bet and paid with his life.
Allen has the Taotie system, which allows him to fuse blood essence without risk.
So when others mention the huge risks of blood fusion, I always feel that it is far away from me and I cannot empathize with them.
Until I heard the news of Akbar's death.
A very familiar person just disappeared like that.
Only then did he deeply feel the cruelty of the fickle fate.
Akbar and Levis are both geniuses and powerful people in the outside world.
Who could have thought that they would die so quietly in Origin City.
The death was so ordinary.
It is neither shocking nor tragic.
Maybe one day in the future, I will be forced to risk my life and gamble on an uncertain future.
Alan didn't like this feeling of being helpless.
Therefore, we still need to practice diligently to become stronger.
Until you can fully control your own destiny!
…
“Ahem!”
Butler Mi Rui walked into the hall and coughed heavily twice.
The restaurant immediately became quiet.
Under the gaze of everyone, the butler took out his pocket watch and took a look.
"The time is up, everyone please follow me."
The butler turned and walked out of the restaurant door.
The trial participants stood up and followed the butler to the spacious courtyard of the castle.
This is where everyone undergoes trials and assessments.
"Congratulations to everyone for persevering to the end and completing the 100-day trial."
“At the same time, I deeply regret what happened to Akbar and Levis.”
The butler placed his right hand on his chest and lowered his head, expressing deep mourning.
Out of respect for the deceased, everyone observed a moment of silence.
Afterwards, the butler spread out the roster and began to call out the names.
According to their level of cultivation, the butler divided the forty-one people who completed the trial into five levels.
Trialists of the same level are ranked in no particular order.
The first tier, there are three people in the early stage of the seventh level.
Caroline, the "Spider Queen" who has the blood of the Abyss Scorpion.
Shiva, the "White Tiger Martial Lord" who has the blood of the sphinx prophet.
Phoebus has advanced to the bloodline of a mature red dragon and has been blessed with the "Dragon King's Protection Spell".
The second tier, with cultivation reaching the late sixth stage, also consists of three people.
Alan, who has the blood of the Blue Behemoth and the Golden Titan.
Nora, the "Rakshasa Ghost Mother" who is a fusion of the Crimson Mist Demon, the Vampire Count and Yue Huatian.
Nora holds Cynthia, a talking doll, in her arms.
Cynthia is nominally Nora's familiar.
But Alan suspected that it was most likely the ghost of Nora's deceased daughter, possessing the doll.
The last one, a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, is Miss Pamela, who is a fusion of Wind Giant, Silver Titan and Hui Yuntian.
The third tier, with five people in the early stage of the sixth level of cultivation.
Aslan, who has advanced to the adult blue dragon bloodline.
Tanya, who has the blood of the Silver Titan.
Max, the "Rat Prince" who has the blood of the earth giant.
There are also the sisters Spenza and Spanna, who have the blood of the Abyss Scorpion.
The fourth tier, late fifth stage, has a total of sixteen people.
Sonia, who was promoted to the bloodline of the Devil of Joy.
Tao Na advanced to "Tree Shepherd".
Anqi, who has the blood of Yaling.
Beiting, a wolf girl who merged the blood of a high-level winter wolf and a behemoth.
Maria, the "Lion Sister" who has the blood of Mistress Lamia .
Adam from the Bear Yard and George from the Pig Yard did not risk fusing the Behemoth bloodline. Instead, they grew along the path of the "Gading Celestial Clan" and each of them was promoted to a higher level.
Cohen and Dudar, who were from the Dragon Vein Family, were promoted to adult green dragon and adult black dragon bloodlines respectively.
Burke and Bagula from the Demons family were promoted to the Bull Demon and Berserker Demon bloodlines respectively.
Finally, there are the two elders of the Human-Devil Cult, Luke and Miller.
These two guys don't look very happy.
During the Hundred Days Trial, the two of them each advanced one level.
His strength has improved, but compared to other trial-takers, the improvement is not significant.
Luke and Miller both felt that they were very unlucky.
The original plan was to join forces to hunt down the Crimson Mist Demon and seize the blood essence, but Nora showed up halfway and disrupted the plan, and they returned empty-handed.
Later, the two followed Levis and participated in a four-way melee.
Try to establish merit in the Purgatory battlefield and gain opportunities for advancement.
Unexpectedly, Levis was bewitched and actually made a bet with the devil.
The result was a miserable defeat and his soul was taken away by the devil.
Luke and Miller followed the wrong boss and their efforts were in vain, without gaining any benefits.
Now they both regret it very much.
He regretted getting involved in the factional struggle within the Human-Devil Cult and following Levis in ostracizing Sonia.
Levis died a violent death, while Sonia is doing very well.
Not only did she advance to the level of a delightful demon, her strength increased dramatically, but even her two dogs, the hellhound Marlowe and the winter wolf Hugo, successfully advanced to the level of behemoths.
It is true that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit!
Luke and Miller discussed it privately.
I wonder if it's too late to change my allegiance and cling to Sonia now?
Before that, the two were more worried about the final assessment.
What if the performance is too bad and I am eliminated?
Even if they were willing to risk their reputation to join Sonia and kneel down to serve the new archbishop, they would probably not be qualified!
The last tier, the early stage of level five, has a total of seventeen people.
Kelly, who combines the blood of Thunder Leopard and Behemoth.
Renee, who has the blood of a sea tiger and a behemoth.
Baker and Hogg of the Silver Moon Monastery were promoted to "Tree-like Bear Chief" and "Thunder Pig Chief" respectively.
Taffman, who joined the Beast Cult, and Sonia's pair of wolf servants, Malo and Hugo, all successfully merged with the blood of the Behemoth.
The three elemental warlocks of the Randolph family, Am, Sean and Phil, advanced to the bloodline of earth giant, water giant and fire giant respectively.
Flora and Avril of the Russell family successfully advanced to the bloodline of Elona and the original Morteng.
Julie and Feilin, a brother and sister from South Island College, first chose to advance to the Gaiding Celestial Clan, and then fused with the blood of the Behemoth to evolve into a pair of "Giant Beast Angels"!
Herent of the Demons family held a bloody advancement ceremony in the Asmo Cathedral and evolved from a succubus to a fascination wizard.
Finally, there are two sorceresses from the Dragon Vein Family.
Lida and Penny advanced to the bloodline of young red dragon and young white dragon respectively.
After the roll call, the butler closed the roster and announced the precautions for the final assessment.
"The final assessment is divided into two modes, and the trial-taker can choose either one."
"The first mode is 'Martial Arts Performance', where the trial-taker practices a skill that he or she is best at."
"I will serve as the examiner and give scores based on on-the-spot performance."
"The second assessment mode is actual combat."
"You can challenge other trial participants. The two sides can discuss and fight to the death, or have a friendly exchange and stop when the winner is determined."
"If the challenged person does not want to accept the duel of life and death, he can just admit defeat."
"If the challenged person's rank is not lower than the challenger, a portion of the assessment score will be deducted after admitting defeat."
"After all the participants have completed the assessment, I will announce the score rankings and award the prizes."
"The prizes include attribute magic stones, origin meditation method, and training time in the riverside cottage."
"The higher your ranking in the assessment, the richer the reward you will receive."
"The first-ranked trialist will receive additional rewards."
"It includes a third-level anti-aging agent that can prolong one's life by a hundred years after injection, a full set of origin meditation methods from levels 1 to 9, and a secret method that can greatly improve the efficiency of meditation!"
Hearing this, the trial participants couldn't help but get agitated.
The focus of most people's attention is the third-level anti-aging agent!
Allen was more concerned about the length of time he would spend practicing in the "Riverside Cabin".
He was the only one among all the trial participants who had entered the riverside cabin, and of course he knew what this reward meant.
What puzzled him even more was...
What kind of bug did Fengyue get stuck with?
How could she enter the riverside cabin ahead of time when the trial hadn't even ended?
Judging from how familiar she was with the cabin, it was like home, and it was obvious that she had been there more than once or twice.
Alan became more and more curious about the true identity of this holy spirit from outer space.
The butler raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
Next comes the formal assessment.
It starts with the lowest-ranked trialist, and the order of assessment is determined by drawing lots.
The seventeen trial-takers in the early stage of the fifth stage drew lots one after another.
When it is someone's turn to play, they can decide on the spot whether to choose "performance" or "duel".
Not surprisingly, the vast majority of people chose to perform martial arts.
Both of them are decent people with extraordinary talents and bright futures. Unless there is some deep hatred, there is no need to tear each other apart and fight to the death in such an occasion.
Feilin was drawn to be the first to play.
The fat boy was not at all stage-shy. He happily walked to the center of the courtyard, bowed to the referee Mr. Mi Rui, and then entered his ancestral form.
After his cultivation broke through the fifth level, Feilin's lion-headed bloodline has been perfectly integrated with the Behemoth.
What appeared before people's eyes was a giant with a lion head that was thirty meters tall!
The thick golden lion mane flutters in the wind.
The strong body and exaggerated claws highlight the domineering power of the Behemoth!
There is a holy halo above his head and a pair of golden wings spread out behind him.
The former indicates his identity as an angel, while the latter is a characteristic inherited from a griffin!
Everyone in the courtyard was amazed at the majestic and powerful "Giant Beast Angel".
Feilin was very proud of himself for being in the limelight.
He intended to publicly demonstrate the super secret skill "Lion's Roar of the Holy Word" that was awakened after the fusion of blood, to give the audience a little shock, but was stopped by the referee.
"Uh...Mr. Mirui, I haven't finished my performance yet!"
"No need, Fatty, you passed."
“But I haven’t demonstrated anything yet!”
Feilin was anxious.
It's a rare opportunity to stand in the center of the stage and become the protagonist watched by everyone. But being kicked off before showing off your special skills is such a bummer!
"If I say no, then no, stop talking nonsense!"
The steward opened the roster and put a score under Feilin's name.
"You have successfully integrated the bloodlines of the Lion-Headed Sky and the Behemoth Beast, and are now qualified to pass the assessment."
"Holy Word Lion's Roar, you don't need to practice, I know what level it is, and I guarantee I'll give you a reasonable score."
"There are still a lot of people waiting in line behind me. I want to finish the assessment before dark. Don't make me work overtime!"
"Okay... you're the referee, you have the final say!"
Feilin reluctantly lifted the atavism and returned to the sidelines.
Alan watched the farce and fell into deep thought.
The butler's unintentional remark just now aroused his vigilance.
Feilin's "Holy Lion's Roar" is an extraordinary secret skill that was awakened after the two bloodlines of Lion-Heaven and Behemoth were combined.
The butler was too lazy to even take a look at this unique skill and said he had seen it before.
From this we can see that long before Felin, there were other trial-takers who successfully integrated the bloodlines of the Lion-Headed Sky and Behemoth.
From ancient times to the present, the Holy Demon Royal Family who founded the Origin City has existed for ten thousand years, and their foundation is truly unfathomable.
Even Mi Rui, the castle steward, has so much experience and knowledge that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The next few trial participants received the same treatment as Feilin.
As soon as he started to revert to his ancestral form, he was stopped by the butler, who claimed that he had seen through their depth.
It wasn't until Renee showed up that the housekeeper became a little more patient.
Two blue beams shot out from his eyes and shone on Leni.
"Killer man, ogre wizard, aquatic mutant displacement beast, sky behemoth... little girl, your bloodline is very complicated!"
Renee seemed a little uneasy because he had seen through her true colors.
Among the trial-takers, she is an inconspicuous one.
Those who didn't know Renee only realized after listening to the housekeeper that this female sorceress with mediocre skills had actually successfully integrated three bloodlines, comparable to Nora and Pamela!
I gambled my life three times and I am still alive and well...
Renee's courage, luck and potential have impressed everyone.
Although her cultivation is only at the early fifth level and is not outstanding, her rich bloodline means that her growth ceiling is very high and she has a bright future!
Phoebus stood outside the venue and heard people talking about his ex-girlfriend, his face changing from gloomy to happy.
Renee, the silly woman whom he once treated as an ATM, suddenly became very strange.
Of course Phoebus knew that Renee was not a genius.
She was born into a declining tiger family and had mediocre talents.
Because of this, Phoebus looked down on her from the bottom of his heart.
I feel that the mediocre Renee is not worthy of the talented me.
He pursued Renee only to get money from her and use her as a stepping stone to climb higher.
He never dreamed that the mediocre Renee could actually fuse three bloodlines, including the top bloodline of Behemoth, and directly transformed from an "ugly duckling" into a "white swan"!
Why did such an abrupt change happen?
Renee knew what was going on.
I am where I am today thanks to Alan's training.
The most fortunate thing in my life is that I pursued Alan without caring about my dignity and became his bootlicker wholeheartedly.
In the end, you will find everything you want.
