Chapter 43 - Announce The Rules

1482 Words
"Have they arrived here yet?" William and the others watched intently as two old Spirit Warriors wearing black robes with a design of three long sharp claws started walking towards the center of the town square. Followed by several young men who seemed to be some of the descendants of people of high status. By the time the two old Spirit Warriors had arrived in the center of the town square, everyone around the square fell silent. At this time, one of the two old men who had green pupils started to step forward and look at the people around him. “Alright everyone, please pay attention to what I'm about to announce! Let me talk about some of the changes that have occurred to the assessment this year!” “This year's assessment will be different from last year's assessment, not only that but all the new rules have been passed by other higher-ups. This year we will only recruit 50 qualified Spirit Warriors, at least we have changed the motto of the Secret Service Organization which initially only required a quantity of slots to become quality!” The words of the old man who had green pupils were like dropping a bomb, it immediately made everyone in the square into a commotion. That's because they were all very shocked after hearing the drastic rule change. "Impossible!" "What? How did it happen!" “Before, we only needed to reach a certain number of points to pass the assessment. Then why are the rules this year so cruel?!” “Last year at least half of the people around us passed the assessment, but it looks like only a quarter will pass this time!” “It's not like it's stupid, it would still be good if only a quarter were able to pass. But this year at least only a few people can enter the Secret Service Organization!” Everyone in the square started to get into an uproar. For all of them who didn't believe in the power they possessed, the words that the old man with the green pupils had just said were bad news. If they couldn't join the Secret Service Organization, they might die in the outside world without a haven. In order to live in this extremely harsh world, at the very least they all needed abundant resources and had strong powers that could protect themselves from unknown calamities. What's more, if one wanted to reach the 8th level of a Spirit Warrior, it couldn't be achieved with just hard work but also required an enormous amount of abundant resources to breakthrough. There are indeed some extremely rare resources in the outside world, but the dangerous level in the outside world should not be underestimated. Even a tier 8 Spirit Warrior could die horribly because of his negligence. It was for that reason that almost everyone here wanted to join the Secret Service Organization, everyone needed a certain amount of time in order to safely and steadily increase their strength. At least until they have the power to defend themselves in the outside world, they will all do anything to get into the Secret Service Organization. “Can you all shut up?!” The old man with green pupils shouted loudly, he was very annoyed by the commotion in front of him. Even so, the old man with green pupils understood the reactions of the people around him. Because when they first heard it directly from the higher-ups, they also had the exact same reaction as the people around them. Then after the atmosphere around him became quiet again, the old man with green pupils continued his words while looking at the few people in the square, “All of you will be taken away to a special area within the territory of the Feysac Kingdom. In that special area, there will be many tier 9 Soul Beasts, some early-stage tier 8 Soul Beasts in the deepest area! As long as you don't enter the restricted area, then I will make sure you all won't be attacked by these Soul Beasts." “Your job here is to collect as many Soul-Beast cores as you can!” “Then as the higher-ups of the Secret Service Organization have discussed, every 9th level Soul-Beast Core, one person can only get 30 Soul Beasts. One early-stage tier 9 Soul-Beast core, only earned a total of 5 points. One mid-stage tier 9 Soul-Beast core, only gained a total of 10 points. One advanced tier 9 Soul-Beast core, only earned a total of 15 points. One tier 9 Soul-Beast Core, only earned a total of 20 points. So no matter how many Soul-Beast Cores you bring, we only counted 30 Soul-Beast Cores. So before you leave the results to us, it's better to think carefully about whether your points count is sufficient to enter the top 50!” After explaining this, the old man with green pupils immediately smiled at all of them. When William heard the information, he subconsciously frowned, “Looks like there will be a lot of killing each other to seize the Soul-Beast Core!” Then William saw that Prince Alfred who was beside him nodded his head, seeming to agree with what William said. But at this moment, William saw Prince Alfred had opened his mouth and said in a curious tone. “So William, what should we do then? Is it better for us to separate from each other so we can collect points faster? With the strong power at our disposal, maybe it would be a good idea to split up! At least it's more efficient than gathering together isn't it?” When William heard Prince Alfred's suggestion, he nodded his head. William acknowledged that with Prince Alfred's special powers, and himself it would be easy to complete the assessment quickly. Meanwhile, Chiaki who was beside William just listened to the conversation of the two without interrupting in the slightest. “Yes, what you said is true. With the special powers at our disposal, this assessment would be a very easy thing to pass.” Prince Alfreed who was beside him had stretched his body as if this judgment was a very easy thing for him. "So does that mean you agree?" When William heard Prince Alfred's request for approval, he subconsciously glanced at the few people around. Especially William's gaze fixed his eyes on the people wearing black robes not far from where he was. William felt that there were at least a few people who activated his instincts. William thought that the strength of the black-robed people had at least something that could threaten the lives of the three of them. "What's with this feeling, I never thought that there were some people who could make the instincts in my body activate again!" At first, William's body did not have the survival instincts that could determine who could endanger his life. But all that started to change after William entered the evolution gate, he felt that not only his eyes had changed but several functions in his body had benefited from entering the evolution gate. So William could only give a refusal response to Prince Alfred's request for permission. “No, I don't approve of that plan. Aren't you still recovering from your previous battle injuries? Better use this opportunity to adapt without using the Battle Soul's Karma Tree ability! Not only that, even I intend to use this opportunity to practice Chiaki's combat abilities.” As William looked ahead, he saw Prince Alfreed's eyebrows slightly raised as if he was confused as to why William had made such a decision. But the confusion only lasted a moment after seeing the cultivation base he had. Prince Alfred could only sigh helplessly. “You're right, no matter how special my powers are in battle, it's meaningless if I can't use those special powers. It seems that I have grown into an arrogant man and assume everyone revolves around me after obtaining the karma god inheritance.” "It's okay, sometimes a person's high self-confidence can stress the enemy's psychology which can result in that person not being able to issue his full attack!" William subconsciously smiled faintly after hearing those words. “William, I don't know why I feel that you have more experience than I do. Are you really a 16-year-old teenager?” Prince Alfred asked in a suspicious tone as if he had guessed something about William's real identity. "I don't know, all the answers depend on what you think. If you think that a person's experience is determined by the number of years, then I can't replace your way of thinking. But if you think otherwise, then congratulations your mind has matured!” William neither acknowledged nor rejected Prince Alfred's words, all William could do was smile mysteriously at Prince Alfred.
