Chapter 101 The Divine Test Gift Pack
As the Shrek Academy holidays approached and the campus gradually quieted down, students returned home one after another. An extraordinary encounter was also quietly unfolding among the various families.
The Star Luo Empire, the Dai family.
Brothers Dai Yueheng and Dai Huabin returned to their hometown with Zhu Lu.
Even Duke Daihao, who was stationed on the border year-round, rarely returned home and personally led his three sons to hold a solemn sacrificial ceremony in the ancestral hall.
Incense and candles filled the air, creating a solemn atmosphere.
Just as Dai Hao led his sons to bow in worship, the weathered statue of the God of War in the center of the ancestral hall suddenly burst forth with dazzling golden divine light!
The light flowed like liquid gold, illuminating the entire ancestral hall as if it were daytime. A vast and majestic fighting spirit instantly enveloped the entire area, and the eyes of the statue seemed to be ignited, shining brightly.
Four golden beams of light of varying sizes shot into the sky from the statue, then precisely enveloped the four members of the Dai family, father and sons, as an ancient divine oracle resounded in their minds:
Dai Hao, the God of War, Eighth Trial!
Dai Yueheng, the God of War, passed the Eighth Test!
Dai Huabin, the God of War, passed the Eighth Test!
Deloris, the Seven Trials of the God of War!
"This...this is the approval of the War God Ancestor!" Even the battle-hardened Dai Hao could not suppress his surging emotions at this moment, and tears welled up in his tiger eyes with excitement.
He suddenly grabbed his three sons, his voice trembling with extreme excitement: "Quick! Quickly kowtow and thank the God of War for his grace!"
The four of them knelt down in unison, bowing deeply to the radiant statue. Dai Huabin and Dai Yueheng exchanged a glance, both seeing immense shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes. The glory and future of their family were given a completely new meaning at this moment.
After the ancestral worship ceremony, Dai Hao learned of Huo Yun'er's death and built her a luxurious tomb.
……
Almost at the same moment, a similar miracle was unfolding in the Zhu Family Ancestral Hall on the other side of Xingluo City.
A swift, silver arc of light tore through the air and precisely pierced the foreheads of Zhu Lu, her father, and her sister.
Zhu Lu's body trembled as she felt the profound information flowing through her mind, her face filled with unbelievable excitement: "God of Speed... Seven Trials!"
……
Heavenly Soul Empire, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Sect Master Ning Qing, along with his daughter Ning Tian and a group of core disciples, respectfully worshipped the statues of the Nine-Colored Goddess and the God of Food.
During the sacrificial ceremony, strange phenomena suddenly occurred.
The Nine-Colored Goddess Statue radiates a dreamlike and magnificent brilliance, with eight colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and black—flowing endlessly, like a rainbow descending, illuminating the entire hall with dazzling light.
The gentle yet powerful divine might inspired awe in all the disciples.
Several beams of light shot out from the statue, the thickest and most colorful of which steadily enveloped Ning Tian.
Ning Tian, the Nine-Colored Goddess undergoes eight trials!
Other younger generation Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters also received their corresponding divine tests.
"Good! Good! Good!" Sect Master Ning Qing was so excited by the sight that he could hardly contain himself. He swayed and almost fainted, but fortunately, his daughter beside him caught him in time.
He gripped his daughter's arm tightly, tears streaming down his face: "Heaven blesses our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School! Our ancestors have shown their power; great prosperity is imminent!"
Ning Tian felt the resonance between his body and his martial soul, and looked at the dazzling divine light with determination and anticipation in his eyes.
……
Phoenix Family, Ma Family Ancestral Hall.
Ma Xiaotao returned to her family, a family steeped in tragedy.
The ancestral hall records a series of histories cursed by evil fire: her father, grandfather, and great-grandfather all died from their bodies exploding due to the evil fire going out of control; her mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother all became widows at a young age.
This place holds too much pain and helplessness.
She lit incense to comfort the ancestors who had been swallowed up by the family's destiny.
Just as the smoke from the incense rose, the long-silent phoenix god statue in the center of the ancestral hall suddenly burst forth with crimson golden flames that burned away all the gloom!
The scorching yet pure aura dispelled the gloom that had accumulated in the ancestral hall over the years, and a clear and melodious phoenix cry seemed to transcend time and space, resounding deep within Ma Xiaotao's soul.
A condensed beam of flame entered her brow, imprinting sacred words into her mind: Ma Xiaotao, Eighth Trial of the Phoenix God!
Immediately following was a hopeful divine decree, crystal clear: "Dispel the evil fire, and you will inherit the divine throne!"
This short sentence sent a jolt through Ma Xiaotao, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
This is not only an opportunity to become a god, but also the only hope to break the family's tragic fate and save oneself and future relatives!
Without further hesitation, with utmost solemnity and with all her longing and determination, she kowtowed heavily to the idol that had given her new life.
……
Haotian Sect, the peak shrouded in clouds and mist.
Tang San's consciousness eventually settled on his daughter Wang Dong (Tang Wutong).
Titan's right arm was now empty from the sleeve. His face was ashen, and his aura was far weaker than before. Niu Tian sat beside him, quietly recounting to Wang Dong the horrific ordeal in the Star Dou Great Forest—the sharp claws of the ferocious beast Xiong Jun, the burning flames of the Crimson King, the blood of the sect's elites, and the moment when Titan had his arm torn off while protecting his disciples.
Wang Dong listened quietly. Her gaze was fixed on Titan's bare shoulders, her fingertips digging deep into her palms, drawing tiny beads of blood, yet she remained oblivious.
For her, Niu Tian and Titan were never just elders of the sect. Having been "fostered" here by her father since childhood, it was these two strong men who gave her unwavering protection and love.
In her heart, they were already second only to her father, like her own father.
"King Xiong...King Chi..." she finally spoke, her voice hoarse, "If I don't avenge this, I, Wang Dong, swear I will not be a human being!"
One day, I will personally sever the head of the Bear King and skin the Crimson King! I will use their blood to appease the fallen heroes of my Haotian Sect; I will use their flesh and blood to replenish the vitality of my two uncles!
Tang San, hidden in the void, took in all of this.
Wang Dong's growth needs a catalyst, and this hatred is undoubtedly the strongest catalyst at present.
The injuries inflicted on Niu Tian and Titan were brutal, yet they also came at "just the right time."
It can maximize Wu Tong's potential, making her willingly embrace any path that brings power.
Having twin martial souls is an exceptional talent, but it also means that one needs far more resources and pressure than ordinary people to hone it.
Ordinary cultivation paths are too slow, while divine trials, especially top-level divine trials, are the fastest shortcut.
It can not only rapidly increase soul power, but also lay the most solid foundation.
Having made up his mind, Tang San no longer hesitated. Across the endless space, he slowly raised his finger towards the direction of the Clear Sky Sect.
The next moment, two dazzling beams of light, one blue and one red, carrying the vastness of the ocean and the majesty of slaughter, ignored all obstacles and suddenly descended upon the hall, completely enveloping Wang Dong!
The solemn and magnificent divine sound, as if traversing countless ages, resonated deep within her soul:
"In the name of the sea god, I bestow upon you the Seven Trials of the Sea God!"
"In the name of the Asura God, I hereby bestow upon you the Seven Trials of Asura!"
"May you diligently cultivate without ceasing, and ascend to the divine realm soon!"
Under the infusion of these two divine powers, Wang Dong's soul power surged at an unprecedented speed, her aura soaring, allowing her to reach level 38 soul power during her upgrade assessment.
Wang Dong (Tang Wutong) has already undergone three major divine trials: the Nine Trials of the Butterfly God, the Seven Trials of the Sea God, and the Seven Trials of the Asura God.
