Chapter 1650 Checking the talents



Chapter 1650 Checking the talents

  Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Celis’s groups now had resolved the biggest issue of the entire test, the consumption of Divine Energy. That was by far the main reason the participants lost and were forced to crush their badges. Of course, there were those who didn’t give up and ended up dying.

Time quickly passed, and Celis finally helped everyone recover their Divine Energies. He then retracted his roots from the surroundings before focusing on helping his team with the battle. Well, his team was doing quite well, thanks to Kentucky’s presence. Kentucky might be at the Middle Stage of the Transition Realm while not being an aquatic demon beast. However, he definitely was strong enough to compare with Void Tempering Realm ones, and so was Celis.

On Rean and Roan’s sides, they obviously got themselves back to their peaks. “Alright, everyone. We just need to keep this pace until the week is over. If we start to run out of Divine Energy, I’ll use our method once again.”

And just like that, time passed in a flash. Monsters continued to be born as each group dealt with them in their own way. Rean’s group and their avoidance plan, Roan’s group and their all-out offensive plan, Kentucky’s group with their defensive plan. They did what was best for their own situations and average cultivation level.

Of course, the monsters’ quantity also increased as time passed. That’s because the other groups in the Deep Sea were being eliminated, making the monsters go after them and change targets. Nevertheless, it simply increased the amount of Divine Energy that they had to consume to keep the status quo. 

Rean had given Celis quite a few Rank Two Divine Stones for this test, so Divine Energy expenditure wasn’t a problem at all. 

Outside, a woman looked at the test together with a few other cultivators and demon beasts. They were located deeper inside the Jhiod Sect’s building and were responsible for all the tests. One could say that they were there to scout talents who would enter the Jhiod Continent. 

Suddenly, someone pulled over the image of the twins’ groups. “Libraia, look at these three groups. Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?”

Libraia was the woman’s name. She was also the highest authority in this place. “I’ve been watching them for a while as well. Every time that World Swallowing Cedar starts to absorb Divine Energy from the Divine Stones, the three groups start to receive a huge amount of Divine Energy. It’s normal for the Cedar’s group to get that since they’re in the same group. However, I don’t understand how those twins can benefit from it as well. They’re in three completely different locations.”

Libraia then looked at the man on her side, asking, “Govin, have you found out if those three have some relation with one another?”

Govin immediately nodded, explaining, “I checked with the worker who attended them when they arrived. They were indeed all in the same group. In fact, that Minokawa over there was also within the same group.”

Libraia was satisfied with the answer. “It is obvious that these guys have some connection between themselves that allows them to share Divine Energy. It looks quite similar to our sect’s Astral Divine Energy Revolution skill.”

Another man, someone called Iglet, agreed with Libraia. “I thought the same.” Astral Divine Energy Revolution was a technique that also allowed the sharing of Divine Energy from afar. Of course, it wasn’t as good as the twins’ group connection since the Astral Divine Energy Revolution technique had a distance limit. The twins’ group, on the other hand, could literally be anywhere in the Realm of Gods and still share Divine Energy. It’s just that the people and demon beasts watching the test didn’t know that.

Iglet continued, “Well, techniques capable of sharing Divine Energy from great distances are rare but not impossible to find. We have one ourselves, after all. The fact that they have one and especially use it that well proves their proficiency. They happened to join forces with a World Swallowing Cedar, which makes it even more efficient.”

Libraia nodded with a smile. “That’s good for our Jhiod Sect. The only thing I don’t understand is why they separated before the test started. If they had stayed together, they would have been having an even easier time. This test is definitely extremely dangerous for most demon beasts, humanoids, and spirits. However, I don’t think it will be a challenge for them with such an unlimited supply of Divine Energy.”

Libraia wasn’t surprised with Celis’s Rank Two Divine Stones appearing every now and then. As Dipsy mentioned before, most of the groups that came to take the test were wealthy. Having Rank Two Divine Stones to spend in the tests was something very common in this place since candidates came from several different continents.

Govin pondered over it for a bit before saying, “They’re probably testing their own limits. They predicted that the test wouldn’t be much of a challenge since they knew they didn’t have the Divine Energy expenditure issue. That’s by far the main reason for most disqualifications and deaths since the monsters themselves aren’t that powerful. After all, the monsters are simply never-ending. It’s not like we don’t see some candidates who like to make things more difficult for themselves here. They’re all geniuses from their own areas, thinking that they can rise above all odds.”

Libraia and Iglet found Govin’s words reasonable. “Indeed.”

”Anyways, they aren’t the only groups doing well.” Libraia then pulled out a few other images with her Divine Sense through the formation used to monitor the test. Sure enough, several other groups of different sizes appeared right in front of everyone. “This batch is doing better than I thought. How many will succeed? Probably more than a thousand.”

Govin and Iglet didn’t doubt that. “According to the information of the previous tests, 70% of the participants have passed at least one test already.”

Libraia smiled in response before asking, “How many of them are taking this test as the last one?”

Govin checked straight away. “4.3% of the remaining cultivators of this test have this one as the last test.”
