Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776: The Test
Since the girl's uncle was able to dig out this piece of mud, there was a very high possibility that there would be another. Hopefully, there would be a third, or maybe even more.
Zen also had a headache due to that little girl's character. She was simply a girl who saw only money. Without any hesitation, she had already tricked Zen once. If he went to her directly, he would probably be ripped off again.
However, the condensation of his Godly Tile was the most important thing for Zen at that moment. If he really could find the other pieces of mud, then he would have to accept it no matter the cost. The condensation of his Godly Tile was worth more than mere divine might coins.
As he thought about it, Zen could no longer stay calm. A conflicted expression appeared in his face. After he lifted the seal on Master Evil, he asked, “Do you know where that little girl came from?”
Master Evil was surprised by Zen's query. With a curious tone, he asked Zen, “That piece of mud, is it really effective on you?” When Master Evil saw Zen's expression, he naturally understood that Zen had bought the right thing. However, he was still confused about the use of that piece of mud.
Zen nodded, “Yes, it is very important to me!”
“That young lady claimed to be from the Tie Clan. It must be the Tie Clan outside the Six-Burden Divine City,” Master Evil said as he recalled.
As the ancestral land of the Han Clan, the Six-Burden Region was much larger than those small regions. However, the surname Tie was not a great one, and even Master Evil only knew one Tie Clan in the Six-Burden Region. It was a rather small and unknown group. Master Evil smiled and said, “The Tie Clan is not even considered as one of the third-tier clans in the Six-Burden Region, so they can't force their way into the Six-Burden Divine City. After so many years, there seems to be no sign of them to rise to prominence.”
The great and small clans in the divine land all aimed to control the divine cities. Once they controlled any random divine city, they could receive a large number of divine might coins every year without any risks. As such, if they could take over any divine city, a clan would be more powerful and wealthier. Every clan's leader had always wanted to become a city lord.
However, the number of divine cities was limited. As such, the various great clans moved to the central divine cities under the control of the wealthy clans on Floating Islands. Each wealthy clan possessed a vast number of divine cities. They would sometimes let a great clan take control of it with a certain negotiation. For example, the divine cities of the thirty-six regions were all controlled by the Han Clan. To get a divine city, all smaller clans needed the Han Clan's permission.
The Tie Clan was not qualified to enter the city. Moreover, they even relied on a small stall in Money Alley. Their influence was not really big. As such, Master Evil concluded that the development of the Tie Clan was not very good.
After he got a rough comprehension of the situation of the Tie Clan, Zen planned to go to the Money Alley to look for the little girl.
Master Evil faintly smiled, “Although I know that the mud is very important to you, you seem to have forgotten that the divine land is different from the Evolutionary Universe.”
Zen was confused for a moment. After a few seconds, an expression of realization painted his face as he immediately understood what Master Evil meant.
Previously, Zen had spent quite a bit of time traveling from the Misty Mountain Village to the Mirror City. Although the Tie Clan was located outside of the Six-Burden Divine City, the distance between them shouldn't be too close, especially with Zen's current speed. Even if he rushed to the Tie Clan, it would still take a lot of time. Additionally, the test of the Heavenly Han House was very near. He couldn't afford to travel such a far distance.
“Since that's the case, we shall wait for the exam to be over before we consider it,” Zen nodded his head.
The divine land was endless. Without a Roaring Token, Zen was like an ant that pathetically crawled under the leaves of a primal forest. The divine land was too vast for him, and right now, he couldn't even communicate with his father's disciples. He was stuck in an unfamiliar environment.
If he could be accepted by the Han Clan, not only could Zen borrow Han Clan's resources to cultivate, he could also approach the Floating Islands as fast as he could. Both of these goals were equally important to Zen. As such, the dilemma still conflicted with his mind.
A few days later, the Heavenly Han House's test finally began. Countless warriors were eager to prove their abilities.
This year's hot spots had already been listed and posted in the Six-Burden Divine City.
All the proving godly warriors from first to third place all had the same surname, Han.
Though those warriors were all merely disciples from the Han Clan's branches, their surname was still something they could be proud of. In reality, the people who managed the Han Clan's ancestral land all belonged to the small branches of the Han Clan. Some of them who were in-laws even took the initiative to change their surname to Han.
The real Han Clan had long gone to the Floating Island. Zen had met the two Han sisters in the Divine Refinement Forbidden Land. Both of them radiated beauty and prestige. Even in the real Han Clan, their status was extraordinary. Ȑ𝘢ŊꝊBÊṡ
However, even if it was just the Han Clan's branch family, they were still far more powerful than the ordinary second-tier and third-tier clans. In the past, the five most popular people in the Heavenly Han House usually had the surname Han.
However, there were some exceptions this year. The nameless young man who defeated Eric in one move in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant was ranked fourth. Everyone was still in awe of how the nameless young man defeated Eric.
The vast space within the Heavenly Han House was now filled with a sea of people. Countless warriors wanted to be a part of the Heavenly Han House.
The vast majority of those who participated in the test were all abnormally excited. Eager expressions could be seen on their faces.
Proving godly warriors were not rare in the divine land. As for the majority of the divine citizens, if they wanted to cultivate up to the world lord realm, it would not be too difficult for them to reach that level even if they just relied on their willpower. The real difficulty was in the cultivation of the Godly Way and the ability to condense a Godly Tile, which only a few people could do. If one could enter the Heavenly Han House, they would be helped by the Heavenly Han House. As such, the achievement of such difficult tasks would be more attainable. Once they could condense the Godly Tile and get an infinite lifespan, they would have a bright future.
Thus, a considerable number of proving godly warriors participated in the test of the Heavenly Han House. They all wanted to see if they could pass nearly every year. Only a few of them would pass each year. However, they still didn't give up hope. They would usually try again next year.
On the platform at the side of the arena, five proving godly warriors either stood or sat. Those five people occasionally glanced down at the black mass of proving godly warriors. Disdain was apparent in their eyes.
“Brother, why are these divine citizens so excited? Over a hundred thousand people are fighting for over twenty places. Are they all here just to take the test for fun?” Among the five people, a man asked with a smile. An arrogant expression could be seen in his face. That person was Seth Han, who was ranked third on the list of examinees of the Heavenly Han House's test.
“You're right, they might not have viewed themselves objectively,” Hector Han said with a smile. He was the oldest and ranked second among the Han Clan's branch families, so they all respected him. Additionally, he was also ranked second on the list.
“Humph, I don't know if the fourth-ranked person will appear, but I do want to see the person that pushed my ranking down,” Zane Han, who was on the far right, said indignantly. A sour expression accompanied his bitter remark.
Zane had originally been ranked fourth on the list, but recently, the incident that happened in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant was spread all over the city. It was said that a mysterious young man had suddenly appeared. Not only did the young man know how to make the Original Pure Food Pill, but he also had defeated Eric of the Hulan Clan with one move.
That was the reason why Zane had been pushed down one rank by the mysterious young man. Zane, of course, felt quite displeased. Hatred seethed deep inside him.
“Eric was only ranked eleventh and that mysterious youth defeated him and then ranked fourth. That is indeed unfair,” Seth said as he shook his head. However, curiosity about the mysterious young man had entered his head.
“I think so too.”
“Those people who made the name list originally rely only on catching groundless information. Since most of the information comes from rumors, it is impossible to make the rankings accurately...”
Since they were from the same clan, they naturally upheld Zane. It was just as what they had said, Eric was indeed only ranked eleven on the name list. However, who of the Han Clan's disciples present could defeat him in one move? Eric still had high popularity and dignity within the Han Clan.
Moreover, anyone with a keen eye could tell that the day in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant, Zen had defeated Eric without any effort. Such a feat would definitely boost his popularity.
People who compiled the name list together also relied on the Han Clan. Every time the Heavenly Han House's test was held, they would send people with sharp eyes to gather information in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant. Those people only ranked Zane, Seth, and the others at the top because they were afraid that Han Clan might feel embarrassed. However, what happened in the Brilliant Moon Restaurant had really moved them. If they were to judge by their sharp sense, no one on the list could compare to Zen!
The old man whose surname was Wu was abnormally busy today as well. Even as a True God who taught disciples the Godly Way, he still had to help arrange things during the test of the Heavenly Han House.
As he busied himself with his work, his gaze wandered around the crowd. As a True God, although he was average in strength, it was easy for him to find someone amongst the 100, 000 people present. His keen eyesight wandered through the crowd in search of someone.
After he searched for a while, the old man shook his head and let out a soft sigh. He wasn't able to find the warrior he wanted to see. That Thad didn't participate in the test today.
The old man surnamed Wu had spent the past few days trying to eliminate the 'two taboos' based on the mystical method that Zen had taught him.
Although he only cultivated it for few days, it actually showed a little effect. He had a stubborn personality and did not like to owe favors to others. Even after Thad taught him such an impressive technique, he had only given him a place to take the test. That was too petty of him.
In the eyes of the old man surnamed Wu, Thad couldn't enter the Heavenly Han House. Nonetheless, he still wanted to return Thad the favor. If Thad came today to take the test, then he would have a valuable gift for him.
Unfortunately, he didn't see Thad. The old man thought that Thad had lost his confidence and directly chose to give up. That kind of thing happened very often in the Heavenly Han House's test. Warriors would usually suffer from stage fright and retreat from the test.
At that moment, a loud discussion among the crowd was heard. The proving godly warriors all suddenly chattered about a person who just arrived.
“Is it really him?”
“The one that defeated Eric in one move? Are you sure?”
“He looks so ordinary...”
