“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”

The spiked balls of light that were originally attacking in the air exploded one after another! The exploding stars scattered from the sky!

Hmm? What was going on? Did the spiked balls of light actually explode? The trial ended just like that?

Just as the followers were wondering what had happened, another violent boom suddenly sounded in their ears.

“Boom!!!”

With a loud explosion, the central crystal pillar in the hall exploded!

Fang Heng felt as if his vision was instantly enveloped by a golden light! He tried to force his eyes open to see the situation of the Book of Oaths’ remnant page in the central crystal pillar.

However, it was impossible!

His eyes were enveloped by a golden light! Fang Heng had no choice but to close his eyes as tears streamed down his face.

Even if he closed his eyes, the game hint would still appear on his retina.

[Hint: You have been affected by the skill “Holy Light-Brilliance”. As your sacred study talent is higher than 500, you are completely immune to the negative effects of the energy absorption of this skill.]

[Hint: Player’s current energy points required for the advancement of intermediate sacred study +2.8.]

[Hint: Player’s current intermediate level…]

So many?!

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.

He realized that the experience points required to level up his intermediate sacred study were soaring!

[Hint: Player’s current skill has been upgraded to the intermediate sacred study.]

[Hint: You have been forced to pay 3,000 King of Gods’ points. You have successfully advanced to intermediate sacred study. Your original skill-elementary sacred learning forgotten.]

[Hint: You have comprehended the skill, intermediate sacred study.]

Skill: Intermediate sacred study (Level 1).

Skill description: Intermediate sacred study. Through this skill, you can use most of the sacred study-related items and learn related sacred skills.

Skill description: Your spirit and will attributes will increase by 35 points.

Skill description: This skill can be upgraded to a maximum of Level 20.

[Warning: Your King of Gods’ points are currently facing a deficit. All the new King of Gods’ points obtained by the player will be used to repay the points owed first (the repayment points have an SSS-level priority). When the King of Gods’ points are in a negative value, some functions of the player will not be available.]

The hints slowly disappeared.

What the hell? His King of Gods’ points had to be deducted to level up! Furthermore, it was a compulsory deduction without a choice!

He even owed them game points!

Fang Heng thought to himself that the game was a little tricky.

The old debt had not been repaid yet, and a new debt had been added.

Normal players could not afford to learn advanced skills.

From the looks of it, other than sacred study, there was a high chance that the other studies would have their King of Gods’ points forcefully deducted after they advanced to the intermediate level.

In the future, when he advanced to other academic fields, he had to be careful and save up some King of Gods’ points to avoid being scammed again.

As he pondered, Fang Heng tried to open his eyes slowly.

The dazzling golden light around them had gradually dimmed.

A circle of energy light spots hovered around him, but it was in a state where it could not be absorbed.

“It seems that Holy Light is no longer able to provide experience points for intermediate sacred study. I have to think of another way to level up.”

Fang Heng muttered to himself and looked around.

Less than half of the original 40 followers in the hall were left. They all had their eyes closed and were still absorbing the energy of the golden light.

Almost everyone was standing unsteadily, and from time to time, some people could not control themselves and fell to the ground with a thud. It seemed that they could not withstand the negative effects of absorbing the holy energy in a short period of time.

Fang Heng raised his head and looked ahead.

In the center of the shattered central crystal pillar, a dusky yellow page floated.

The Book of Oaths’ remnant chapter!

The golden light in the hall was emitted by the remnant chapter of the Book of Oaths!

Fang Heng closed his eyes carefully and tried to sense it.

The feeling of being spied on disappeared with the destruction of the crystal pillar.

He could make a move!

Opening his eyes again, Fang Heng slowly walked forward until he reached the remnant page of the Book of Oaths that was floating in the air.

He slowly raised his hand and approached the remnant chapter.

Eh?

With just a slight thought, the remnant page of the Book of Oaths in the air seemed to have been guided and slowly flew into Fang Heng’s palm.

[Hint: The player has discovered an item-Book of Oaths’ remnant chapter.]

[Item-Book of Oaths (remnant chapter).]

Description: One of the remnant chapters of the Book of Oaths. It contains part of the Holy Light attribute power.

Description: Unable to activate due to lack of relevant conditions.

[Hint: The player has been detected to have mastered the intermediate sacred study. Condition 1 has been met.]

[Hint: Detected that the player’s sacred study is much higher than the fixed condition of 100. Verification meets condition 2, weakening condition 3.]

[Hint: Detected that the player’s spiritual power is higher than 50, comprehension is higher than 50, and verification meets condition 3.]

[Hint: The player can choose to bind the item-Book of Oaths (remnant chapter). After binding, the ownership will be confirmed. Trading is not possible. Forceful trading or plundering will cause the item to be destroyed.]

Eh?

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

The last time he saw the Book of Oaths’ remnant page, it was the same item description, but this time, there was an option to bind the item.

Fang Heng opened the game log and carefully checked the three conditions required to bind the item.

So the hint this time was because his sacred study had advanced to the intermediate level?

Fang Heng nodded and shouted, “Bind!”

A faint light appeared on the remnant page of the Book of Oaths again.

[Hint: The player has bound the current Book of Oaths (remnant chapter). The Book of Oaths (remnant chapter) will be automatically destroyed after the player dies.]

[Hint: Book of Oaths’ remnant chapter current remaining energy: 5,218.]

Chi!

The Book of Oaths disappeared and was stuffed into Fang Heng’s backpack.

That was it?

Fang Heng was puzzled. He flipped through the item hint again and found that there was no difference except for the additional remaining energy at the bottom of the description.

“Strange…”

Fang Heng muttered to himself. Seeing that the other followers in the hall were gradually waking up, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart and quickly retreated to where Yimamu was.

As the golden light in the hall gradually dimmed, the remaining followers who had not fainted slowly opened their eyes.

Yimamu also opened his eyes.

He saw that Fang Heng, who was standing beside him, also looked like he had just woken up.

What happened?

The awakened followers looked around blankly and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.

Momir turned his head and looked at Fang Heng with vigilance in his eyes. He shouted, “What did you do?! Did you destroy the crystal pillar on purpose?”

Fang Heng frowned and asked, “What are you talking about?”

“Tsk! Still not admitting it! Something was wrong with you from the beginning! Do you dare to say that you didn’t do it on purpose?!”

Fang Heng shook his head and questioned, “Heh, do you have any evidence?”

“Stop talking nonsense with him! Let’s kill him together!”

Momir shrugged his shoulders and quickly approached Fang Heng. The two players beside him also launched a surprise attack on Fang Heng!

Fang Heng stared at Momir and was about to raise his scepter when his pupils constricted.

What?
