Chapter 1778: Chapter 1778: Tossing The White Jade Tokens

Zane was at a loss for words. Suddenly, a well-built middle-aged man walked to the center of the yard. With a displeased expression, he quickly shouted, “Quiet down!”

The man's voice was filled with authority as if there was an irresistible force that sealed everyone's mouths. As his voice echoed, the entire Heavenly Han House instantly became abnormally quiet.

The middle-aged man glared at Zane angrily. Seth, who stood beside the man, shook his head slightly.

This middle-aged man was called Malloy Han, Seth's uncle. Additionally, he was also the leader of the Heavenly Han House, who presided over the entrance exam of the Heavenly Han House.

When he noticed that the situation didn't look very good, Seth decided to ask Malloy Han out in advance. He didn't want the situation to grow any worse.

Malloy Han then said, “Only strength matters in the exam of the Heavenly Han House! I believe everyone knows that there have been many Han Clan's disciples who have been eliminated in the past. Guys, I know all of you want to prove the Godly Way and your perseverance is commendable. I feel honored that you choose our Heavenly Han House. If someone here proves the Godly Way, they'll be a member of the Han Clan. It would then be possible that they will be selected by the Floating Island and become a disciple of the Holy Emperor.”

His words, combined with the presence hidden in his voice, captivated everyone. A mixture of fear and respect was felt by those who heard him.

True Gods had always wanted to enter the Floating Islands. Even for a reclusive overlord like Master Evil, he had always hoped to be enrolled by one of the Floating Islands. Nonetheless, it was an unattainable dream for most True Gods.

Furthermore, what Malloy Han said was not false. The Han Clan had also constantly nurtured their own disciples and talented warriors. The cultivation of those under their care was always supported by the necessary resources and guidance.

Although the distribution of powers in the divine land was extremely stable and the Han Clan's status was unbreakable, that did not mean that there was no competition amongst the wealthy clans on the Floating Islands.

The Floating Islands' rankings in the Time Sea would change every once in a while. Based on the changes in the rankings, the wealthy clans' prestige and reputation would be affected. On the other hand, the clans' actions would also contribute to their rankings. If a wealthy clan was not replenished with new blood for a long time, its Floating Island's ranking would also continuously drop. What was worse, the clan would gradually lose its discourse power in the Hall of Holy Beings. Its influence would drop along with its ranking.

The Han Clan also needed to select talented warriors from the thirty-six regions and send the elites among them to their Floating Island. The Holy Emperor would choose the most talented one to be his disciple. Only the best ones would have that opportunity.

Once, Zen encountered Marko, Mateo, and Pranav in the Evolutionary Universe. Although they were only low-rank True Gods, they were still much stronger than ordinary True Gods.

Just as Malloy Han finished his remark, a melodious bell chime came from the depths of the Heavenly Han House. It echoed throughout the hall.

Boom!

In theory, sound is created by an invisible force and normally speaking, it is not visible to the naked eyes.

The moment the bell chime rang out, yellow ripples suddenly appeared in the sky. Everyone's eyes were focused on the ripples. The yellow ripples constantly spread in the air, and that was why the melodious bell chime was left in their ears.

Boom! Boom!

The second and third chimes rang out. The sounds echoed in everyone's ears.

Malloy Han smiled faintly to the crowd. In an authoritative voice, he said, “The Spiritual Bell has rung. As usual, everyone must throw their White Jade Token high up into the sky and wait for a while. The examination will begin soon after.” РÁΝȏꞖÊ𝙎

The participants' names were recorded in those White Jade Tokens, and those tokens all had special marks made by the Han Clan, so they couldn't be faked.

Malloy Han's voice had begun to fade away. Seth, who stood next to Malloy Han, suddenly waved his arm. His White Jade Token shot out from his hand and flew towards the sky above the Heavenly Han House. He seemed to have put some sort of strength into the White Jade Token.

The White Jade Token was enveloped in a layer of green light as it flew straight into the sky. However, it seemed to encounter an invisible huge net. Strong unseen resistance was immediately met by the token. The White Jade Token's momentum rapidly decreased, and eventually, it stopped in the air just like that.

“This year, Seth Han was the first to make a move. The height of his White Jade Token reached six hundred and seventy feet,” a person from the Heavenly Han House announced in a rather formal voice.

Zen leaned against the wall and stared indifferently at the little white dot in the air. Although he hadn't been in the Six-Burden Divine City for long, he had at least investigated and knew the rules of the test.

The chance of accomplishment of the examination wasn't equal for the participants. After all, when one hundred thousand people were assessed together, there had to be a sequence. The martial artists at the front naturally held the advantage. As such, every year before the start of the exam, they would throw out White Jade Tokens to determine the order of each proving godly warrior.

There was an extremely strong restrictive force in the sky above the Heavenly Han House. The higher the White Jade Token went, the stronger the restrictive force became. The only way to go higher was with incredible strength.

Last year, the highest score that the participants in the Heavenly Han House had achieved was only five hundred and twenty feet. This year, the first participant's result had already surpassed last year's best result. The proctors of the exam all had expectant eyes.

This year's participants in the Heavenly Han House's exam were far better in both numbers and quality than last year's. As such, Seth's results didn't surprise anyone.

After Seth took the initiative, the other participants began to throw their White Jade Tokens one after another. The tokens all recorded their names and where they came from. When all the tokens were restricted by the force in the air, the order and the detailed information of each of the proving godly warriors would be recorded. The height of their throw would be then announced by one of the proctors.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When the proving godly warriors were throwing their White Jade Tokens, all of them used their own methods to apply the power they had comprehended onto the tokens. That way, the White Jade Tokens could fly a bit higher and earn the warriors a place in the top rankings. It was the only way they could get a better chance for the examination.

Some of the White Jade Tokens had strong flame energy attached to them. As the tokens flew upwards, a series of strange sounds rumbled throughout the place as each warrior attempted to push their White Jade Token even higher. There were also some White Jade Tokens that had a variety of different types of powers attached to them. Some of these powers came from various Godly Ways, while some merely came from the warriors' brute force to throw the tokens.

These warriors could be called proving godly warriors, so more or less, they had already stepped into the Godly Ways. Their strength and abilities were already impressive. However, they didn't have a deep comprehension of the Godly Ways and were still unable to condense their Godly Tiles.

The vast majority of the White Jade Tokens could only climb up to a height of three hundred to four hundred feet. Moreover, only a few could reach a height of over four hundred feet. The elite warriors who could reach the results of near five hundred feet were already better than ninety percent of the proving godly warriors. A very small number of proving godly warriors could reach a height of over five hundred feet, and they were the elites among elites. The height of their tokens clearly reflected the talent of each warrior.

For example, Eric threw his White Jade Token to a height of five hundred and forty feet. With a smug look on his face, he was already quite satisfied with his result.

Over one hundred thousand proving godly warriors threw their White Jade Tokens at the same time. Countless different colored lines appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Han House. Most of the tokens had a unique burst of energy below it. It was truly spectacular!

Hiss!

A sharp sound pierced through the sky and attracted everyone's attention. The White Jade Token was wrapped in a black flame. It was like a black meteor that quickly rushed upwards!

That particular White Jade Token was thrown by Zane. Everyone's gaze was already gathered towards his token.

In terms of strength, Zane was only ranked fifth on the list, behind Zen. However, everyone was surprised by Zane's black flame. With its help, his White Jade Token had instantly surpassed the height of Seth's six hundred and seventy feet!

The higher the White Jade Token, the greater the resistance and the slower it would rise. As such, the difficulty of the task got exponentially harder as the altitude of the throw got higher.

Moreover, the black flame still burned on the White Jade Token. Even though it had already surpassed Seth's record, Zane's token maintained its ascend. It was slow yet it still continued to climb. Finally, it stopped at a height of seven hundred and ninety feet!

Zane's face was filled with a pleasant surprise at this sight. He didn't think that he would be able to surpass Seth by so much in a single go. A proud look painted his face.

“Zane's White Jade Token actually reached seven hundred and ninety feet!”

“The best result from all the years seems to be only at eight hundred and twenty feet, right?”

“It seems like Zane's strength is really underestimated; he shouldn't be ranked fifth!”

As he heard those comments, Zane felt very comfortable and his gaze landed on Zen once more. He said in a clear voice, “The disciples of our Han Clan have always relied on our own abilities to enter the Heavenly Han House. It's very different from what some people think!”

As Malloy Han heard this, he also nodded his head. The members of the branch families of Han Clan were indeed extraordinary. Each of them was able to properly enter the Heavenly Han House by the accomplishment of the exam. It was a truly fair competition, and they had to rely on their strength. Each of those disciples had already earned some respect due to their own strength.

Zen was still leaning against the wall and tilted his head back slightly. A casual smile was still on his face as he stared indifferently at Zane.

He had never wanted to compete with anyone when he came to the Heavenly Han House. With the Han Clan's Floating Island as his focus, Zen wished to quietly pass the exam. However, Zane inexplicably had to target him.

“Throw the White Jade Token in your hand to the sky. If you don't dare, giving up now will save you some face,” Zane said in an arrogant tone. He still wanted to provoke Zen.

Almost all of the one hundred thousand proving godly warriors had tossed their White Jade Tokens up into the air. Most of the energy that surrounded the tokens had already dissipated. The tokens were densely packed in the air, just like a flock of small white birds that were suspended in the air. It was an extremely spectacular sight.

Only a very small number of the proving godly warriors had yet to act. Zen was one of them.
