Sterl glanced at the skill, realizing that [Beast Spirit Possession] could be upgraded four times, evolved to its limit once, and further enhanced after future cheat upgrades. Its guaranteed future was at least a radiant-level skill, possibly even higher!
Currently, this skill offered extra benefits specifically for SSS-level pets, and after enhancement, it would likely provide bonuses for radiant-level and levels above Radiant as well! The future potential was immense!
"What a blood profit!" Sterl exclaimed, his expression filled with excitement.
He pulled the Star Radiance Dragon out from his sleeve. The little guy was still in a drowsy state, but it seemed to sense its master's happiness and began flailing its limbs joyously, fluttering about.
At this moment, Sterl stood in the center of the arena. With his current strength, there was no need to hide an SSS-level pet. However, there was a problem. Whether it was the animal divine authority or the dragon divine authority required to fuse with the Star Radiance Dragon, there were no opportunities for comprehension within the Hall of Valor.
Fortunately, Sterl wasn't anxious. As long as he found a beast or monster that had ascended to divinity, he could obtain the animal divine authority. Similarly, he just needed to locate a divine-level dragon to acquire the dragon divine authority. By defeating these two divine-level entities, he could activate [Consume].
Just as he was about to leave, he heard waves of cheers erupting around him.
"Lord David is indeed powerful!"
"Your strength overshadows everything!"
"David! Invincible! Invincible!"
Countless voices shouted in excitement! They were eager to take the opportunity to curry favor with the strongest individual in the Hall of Valor.
Sterl merely nodded expressionlessly, then vanished in a flash. He swiftly returned to his estate and began selecting his two rewards from the champion shop.
In the shop, there was indeed an item that could allow him to ascend to godhood, and Sterl could directly exchange for two. However, this item would deplete all his potential, and his strength would no longer be able to improve.
Next, the shop offered some conventional resources, such as pseudo-mythical equipment within the divine-level realm and various Iridescent-Level skills. What caught Sterl's interest were some special amber crystals.
[Amber — Divine Authority: Flowing Water]
[Description: This is an extremely special creation; only very powerful beings can capture deities and forcibly refine the divine authority within them.]
[Effect: Using this amber, if you possess the Flowing Water Law and use it to ascend to divine authority: Flowing Water, the success rate is increased by 60%.]
[Amber — Divine Authority: Flame]
[Amber — Divine Authority: Shadow]
...
Now, Sterl understood why the previous sixteen seed players could connect with one another. The rewards for ascending to champion were outrageous. There were three opportunities to ascend to godhood!
One was through the skill selection when he chose Radiant Soul, allowing a quasi-divine being with Light attribute Law Power to ascend to godhood. The seed player who had unleashed the destructive light earlier could clearly utilize this.
In the champion shop, he could choose two divine-level evolution items that would ensure a stable ascension to godhood. Alternatively, he could choose amber-type items for a high success rate transformation into divinity. Furthermore, the resources available from the second place onwards might even allow for the emergence of a fourth god!
What about consumables? Life-saving items?
During the battle in the underworld, Sterl had collected a plethora of Supreme treasures, enough that he couldn't use them all!
In the champion shop, the only two items Sterl had chosen were indeed useful. After redeeming his goods, he thought for a moment and decided not to idle around. He went out once again to find some misfortunes for the unfortunate guilds...
The most pressing matter now was to continue leveling up his guild. What Sterl didn't know was that while he was leisurely pursuing his plans, chaos reigned in the arena of the Valor Combatants conference.
The fifteen players who secured a spot in the top sixteen were utterly stunned! The strongest among them was merely an ordinary Supreme, while most were just perfect-level demigods. Yet, these players had received generous rewards and access to the [Glory Shop].
In the Glory Shop, the second-place player could choose five items, the third-place player four, and so on. Even the sixteenth-place player could select one item. The resources in the Glory Shop were slightly inferior to those in Sterl's champion shop, but they still included incomplete Iridescent-Level skills and broken divine authority amber.
If multiple players pooled their resources, they could potentially obtain a complete divine authority amber!
These players were in disbelief! They weren't even Supremes! Were the rewards they received a bit excessive?
At that moment, countless individuals rushed over to these fifteen lucky players.
"Hey, bro. The resources you exchanged in the Glory Shop are basically meant for Supreme or quasi-divine levels."
"How about we make a deal? Are you willing to sell? I can offer a premium price."
One Supreme powerhouse approached without caring about his status or demeanor, pleading earnestly. As he stated, if any of the top sixteen players were willing to sell the resources from the Glory Shop, he would buy them at any price! With the impending calamity, every bit of strength mattered!
Not only this Supreme, but other powerful figures from the Hall of Valor also rushed over enthusiastically.
Even though they had been furiously pounding their chests and shouting in frustration while watching the matches, exclaiming, "How did these useless players get ranked in the Valor Combatants conference!" now they wore smiles and were incredibly warm.
It wasn't that they couldn't seize the items after these fifteen lucky players redeemed their goods. However, first of all, it would be a direct affront to the Hall of Valor, and the system would definitely take action against them.
Secondly, since the other party was also players, even if they found a way to bypass the no-drop rule within the same faction and managed to take down these lucky players, they might not even get the desired items. It was far more practical to spend some money to purchase them.
At this moment...
Powerful figures filled the arena. Countless ordinary demigods and legendary players were astonished to realize that the foundation of the Hall of Valor was indeed formidable.
In just a short while, nearly a hundred Supremes had emerged! They all had the same goal: to enthusiastically approach the fifteen winners of the Valor Combatants conference!
"Sell your items to me, I promise you won't suffer a loss!"
"If you hand your resources over to me, you can join our level seven guild, Huang Tian, and I'll ensure your safety during the upcoming calamity."
"Trust me! I am the messenger of the God of Trade. If you let us sell your items, you'll definitely gain greater benefits, just a small fee will be deducted!"
In an instant, mental broadcasts and the shouts of the Supremes resonated throughout the arena!
