Chapter 554: Trial of The Epic

Tang Shaoyang closed his eyes as he entered the portal. He was not used yet to the uncomfortable feeling of taking the portal even though this was his ninth time taking the portal. A frown formed on his forehead and he opened his eyes.

He was standing in the middle of the prairie. The green grass filled his vision and from what he could see, everything was grass in his vision. He stood there for a moment and scanned the surroundings, nothing but grass and a stone pillar next to him.

[Welcome to the Trial of the Epic!]

[Finish the trial to reach the Epic Rank and obtain a reward from finishing the trial!]

——————————

——————————

[Do you want to start Trial of The Epic? Yes. No.]

Tang Shaoyang chose no and the interface disappeared. He looked at the task interface, and his eyes locked on the reward choices. The word "requirement" in (If you meet the requirement) was written in bright red. The frown deepened as he muttered, "Roan did not tell anything about the requirement," He then tapped the word "requirement".

[Survive and Defeat fifteen waves of monsters to unlock this reward!]

That was the requirement to unlock the Third Class. He had to defeat fifteen waves of monsters, "It's doable,' He nodded his head and tapped the requirement to unlock the Awakening Innate Bloodline.

[Survive and Defeat twenty waves of monsters to unlock this reward!]

"I see," Tang Shaoyang nodded his head as he understood why Roan did not tell him about these requirements. That was because Roan did not experience this requirement. Roan did not have a bloodline when he took the trial. Roan also did not have the second class when he took the trial as well.

'What should I get from the reward?' Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin. He had not even started the trial yet but he was thinking the reward, "Second Talent might be good but the innate bloodline and the third class are so tempting as well,"

"No, it is an innate bloodline. I might awaken a crappy bloodline while talent is random. Should I aim for the third class instead?" Tang Shaoyang ignored the fourth choice. He was thinking to get stronger through his internal force rather than relying on the external force.

"Shaoyang oh Shaoyang, you are overthinking it. You haven't started the trial yet you are already thinking about the reward," He shook his head, "Let's check something first before I start the trial,"

"Zaneos? Zowen? Karan? Are you there?" He tried to communicate with the spirits but they did not respond to him. That meant that it was really true that his connection with his spirits was cut off during the trial, "Wait, what about if I summon a new spirit with the bodies of these monsters? That's worth a try actually,"

"Alright, I am ready for the trial!" Tang Shaoyang opened the interface once again.

[Do you want to start Trial of The Epic? Yes. No.]

He tapped yes without hesitation and the screen vanished instantly as a bigger screen appeared in his eyes.

[The Trial of The Epic has started! Good luck, Player Tang Shaoyang~]

[The first wave will attack you in five minutes!]

——————————

[First Wave]

Composition: 10,000 Stage 4 Monsters

Countdown: 00:04:58

——————————

"Stage 4 monsters? That's actually weak," Tang Shaoyang frowned. He then recalled that Bronson's master and Rosalie's master died in the trial but how could they die with this weak trial?

Waiting for the wave of the monsters, he inspected the stone pillar next to him. The only thing that was not grass was this stone pillar. A pitch-black stone, more like coal in his eyes but when he touched the smooth surface he felt it was like a ceramic. Aside from that, nothing special with the stone.

"I guess I will wait," He did not leave the stone pillar as he thought the stone pillar had a role in the trial. He leaned his back against the stone pillar as he waited for the five minutes to pass. It was a short five minutes but he felt that it was too long. When the countdown tickled down to zero he felt a vibration on the ground.

Tang Shaoyang took the battle-ax out. He was ready for the fight and looked to the side where the vibration came from. There was a horde of monsters running toward him.

"Goblin?" He muttered as he looked at the green monsters that led the horde. The green-colored creatures were leading the horde. They had the same color as a goblin and their face was similar to a goblin with a pointy nose and pointy ears. However, they were much taller than a goblin. They were over two meters with their buffed bodies, holding a big wooden club.

"That's not a goblin for sure," Tang Shaoyang did not wait for them to come at him. He walked toward the horde that rushed toward him while dragging the battle-ax. As he got closer to the horde, the vibration on his feet was getting stronger.

"I am not going to wait any longer," He then stopped walking and rushed toward the horde. A man rushed toward ten thousand monsters' horde.

When he arrived in front of the horde, Tang Shaoyang swung the battle-ax. One swing of his battle-ax cut through six green-colored creatures. At the same time, he cast the [Basic Detection] on the green-colored creature. They were the big version of the goblin, Hobgoblin.

"Not that much different from the goblins," He had faced goblins before when he did not have his second class and the bloodline. They were barely a threat to him before let alone now. The battle-ax butchered the Hobgoblins into pieces. Of course, Hobgoblin was not the only monster in the horde. There were many other monsters but they were still the same stage-4 monsters. Not a threat to him.
