Open up and break into another world

The Yan Temple.

Inside the main hall, nine Dao Lords, including Zhan Wuwei, Er Ha, and the Jian brothers, had been waiting here for an entire day!

“Why hasn't Xu Ming come out yet?”

Everyone was puzzled.

Logically speaking, Xu Ming was the strongest, so he should have been the first to pass the trial!

But now, among the ten trial participants, only Xu Ming hadn't come out.

Jian Wushuang couldn't help but sneer: “Could it be that Xu Ming has already died in the trial?”

“Jian Wushuang!” Zhan Wuwei flushed red and rebuked, “Keep your mouth clean!”

“Humph!” Jian Wushuang sneered, “I'm just saying, why are you getting so excited? — Is it because you're also worried that Xu Ming has died in the trial?”

Ye Tianhun couldn't stand it either: “Jian Wushuang, how can you say such a thing? — Brother Xu Ming is a peerless genius of our human race; he will surely lead our human race to glory again! And you, you're actually cursing him with words?”

“He's a peerless genius?” Jian Wushuang sneered disdainfully, “Then am I, Jian Wushuang, not talented enough!? — The race has never trusted me, and they didn't look favorably on me at all in this trial! But so what? I was the first to pass the trial, faster than any of you, you have to accept it whether you like it or not!”

“Humph!” As he spoke, Jian Wushuang snorted heavily, to vent his dissatisfaction, “And the peerless genius you speak of hasn't passed the trial yet — you need to know that the trial score is greatly related to the speed of passing the trial! In this case, how good can Xu Ming's trial score be? Humph!”

Jian Wushuang became more and more energetic as he spoke: “Why!? Why doesn't the race trust me, Jian Wushuang, or my three Jian brothers? Every time there's an opportunity, it never falls to us! — Is this fair to us?”

General Jingyu's eyes were calm and profound: “Because your luck is too low! — Low luck proves that your future achievements will also be low!”

“Luck? Hahahaha… Bullshit luck!” Jian Wushuang laughed arrogantly, “Who knows if this illusory thing called luck is actually real? Only strength is king! — Isn't Xu Ming's luck very strong? But so what, he hasn't passed the trial yet; his trial score probably won't be good either! On the contrary, I, whose luck is weaker than all of you, was the first to pass the trial! It's very likely that the 'candidate' spot is mine!”

Thinking of this, Jian Wushuang couldn't help but become carried away: “Hahahaha… Once I obtain the 'candidate' spot, I can choose three of you to become my soul slaves! And Xu Ming will definitely be one of them! — Humph! At that time, Xu Ming, who has the strongest luck, will be reduced to my slave; then you can come and tell me, what's the use of luck!”

Just then, there was a spatial distortion within the main hall.

Xu Ming's figure slowly condensed and appeared from the distorted space.

Xu Ming was just standing there, but his aura made the entire audience quiet down involuntarily.

“Who… wants to turn me into their soul slave?” Xu Ming said indifferently.

“It's…” Facing Xu Ming, Jian Wushuang seemed to have shrunk in stature; his aura also weakened sharply, no longer as arrogant as before. However, Jian Wushuang still said with a stern face but a weak heart: “It's me!”

“Oh… it's you!” Xu Ming just said lightly, and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in the main hall: “The trials for the ten participants have all ended! In this trial, the most outstanding performer will receive the 'candidate' spot for the personal inheritance! He is…”

“It's me! It's me!” Jian Wushuang shouted in his heart, “It must be me! — The trial score is greatly related to the speed of passing the trial! Xu Ming was the last one to come out, more than a day later than me; his trial score can't possibly be better than mine! The 'candidate' spot will definitely be mine!”

Zhan Wuwei, Ye Tianhun, General Jingyu, and the others were also nervously anticipating — they actually felt that Xu Ming's speed in passing the trial was too slow; the opportunity to obtain the “candidate” spot was probably not great! They only hoped that this spot would not fall to the three Jian brothers.

Er Ha, however, was very calm and composed — although it didn't know why Xu Ming was so slow to come out; but it believed that the “candidate” spot would definitely be Xu Ming's!

Xu Ming, on the other hand, didn't have any emotional fluctuations — what suspense could there be for the “candidate” spot? If it wasn't Brother Ming's, whose else could it be?

Sure enough, the mechanical voice continued to say: “The one who obtains the 'candidate' spot for the personal inheritance is… Xu Ming!”

Xu Ming!!

Xu Ming looked as if it was a matter of course, without the slightest feeling of surprise.

Er Ha continued to maintain its composure. However, within this composure, there was a sense of “relying on the master's power”; its eyes glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the three Jian brothers, as if to say — Aren't you awesome? Keep being awesome!?

Zhan Wuwei, Ye Tianhun, and the others were first stunned, then overjoyed: “It's Brother Xu Ming!”

They actually all hoped that the “candidate” spot would be obtained by Xu Ming.

Because Xu Ming was the strongest and had the strongest luck; only if he obtained this spot would there be the greatest hope of removing the word “candidate” and becoming a true “personal inheritor”! And if someone else obtained it, it would probably never be possible to remove the word “candidate”.

“How could it not be me!?” Jian Wushuang was stunned, he couldn't accept it at all — clearly he was the first to pass the trial, and Xu Ming was the last one; why did this spot still belong to Xu Ming? Wasn't it said that the trial score was greatly related to the speed of passing the trial?

“It's not fair! This is not fair!” Jian Wushuang roared to the sky, “Why is it Xu Ming, and not me!?”

“Why not you?” The mechanical voice actually revealed a hint of contempt, “You and Xu Ming are not on the same level at all! I choose Xu Ming, and not you — is there any problem?”

“But, I was the first to pass the trial!!” Jian Wushuang stubbornly clung to this point.

“No!” the mechanical voice said, “The first to pass the trial was not you, but Xu Ming! — You only passed the 'Soldier-level Trial'. Xu Ming had already passed this level of trial long ago, and then went to carry out the 'General-level Trial'!”

The mechanical voice said coldly: “Because… you are not qualified to participate in the 'General-level Trial' at all! Naturally, you wouldn't be specifically told!”

Not qualified?

Jian Wushuang couldn't help but laugh, a self-deprecating laugh.

But he was still unconvinced: “What conditions are required to participate in the 'General-level Trial'? — Why do you think I'm not qualified?”

The next sentence from the mechanical voice directly convinced him: “The first wave of opponents in the 'General-level Trial' are hundreds of invincible Dao Lords; the last wave of opponents are two ninth-order demigods! — If you think you have even a sliver of possibility of passing the 'General-level Trial', then you are qualified to participate!”

“What!?”

Jian Wushuang was filled with shock: “The first wave of opponents is hundreds of invincible Dao Lords? The last wave is even two ninth-order demigods!?”

How could such a trial be at the Dao Lord level?

Jian Wushuang trembled as he spoke: “Xu Ming… passed it?”

The mechanical voice said indifferently: “He passed it easily!”

“Easily?” Jian Wushuang immediately collapsed to the ground — the gap between him and Xu Ming was really too big, so big that there was no comparability at all. The ridiculous thing was that he thought he was the first to pass the trial, and even thought he could suppress Xu Ming!

Ridiculous!

Really ridiculous!

“Xu Ming!” the mechanical voice continued, “You have become a candidate for the personal inheritance, please select three of the nine Dao Lord-level peripheral inheritors to become your soul slaves!”

“Three?”

Exactly three soul slaves, then there's nothing to hesitate about, of course it's… the three Jian brothers!
