Chapter 727 Four Pillars: Six Rarities, Nine Forms
Ding!
Hearing a notification sound go off in his mind as the voice announced his completion, a wave of relief washed over Valyr's body. n.)OVelb1n
With that, the young man gradually closed his eyes, feeling as if they were heavy for some reason.
However, before he could fully close them, Valyr took a step forward and put all of his strength into it.
Bang!
Letting out a loud exhale, the young man took out a vial of rousing from his spatial bracelet and downed its contents.
"That... was close."
Thinking about how close he was to succumbing to the sleepiness, Valyr let out a low sigh.
At the same time, a wry smile adorned his face as he thought about the two other trials he had yet to go through.
"It would be nice if the trials would give me like a couple of hours to prepare," muttered the young man.
"But with how the most time they've given me so far is about ten minutes, that's probably not going to happen."
Whilst he was thinking about how nice it would be to get some proper rest, the elements making up the fourth trial gradually receded in the ground.
Not wanting to get caught up in the mess, Valyr distanced himself from the area before deciding to sit on the ground.
'I wonder how the others are faring?' Briefly staring at the sight before him, Valyr opened up his party chat and shot a message to the other four.
Surprisingly, it did not take long for the four to respond, their replies to his message only arriving after a couple of minutes had passed.
With that, Valyr found out that the four had actually not made much progress in their respective trials.
On the other hand, he had cleared the third and fourth trial of the Gates of Awakening, which made the four wonder whether the Gates of Awakening had reduced the difficulty of his trials.
After telling them that they were just as difficult as any of their trials, Valyr then read the four's messages on what kind of trials they were currently going through.
In a way, the trials were similar in nature to the ones Valyr had cleared so far, but was more tailored towards their respective classes.
Then again, it would be better to say that the fifth and sixth trial was indeed the second and third trial, but just extended in terms of difficulty.
With how the second trial had Valyr go through the first four rarities that an item could obtain while forging, the fifth trial improved upon that, calling itself the Trial of Six Rarities.
Of course, with that name alone, the young man already knew what to do.
Ttang! Ttang! Ttang!
Retrieving his Hammer of Beginnings from his spatial bracelet, Valyr forged six items in total, all of them meeting the minimum condition to complete the trial.
With how all six items were classified to be at least Rare grade by the system, the young man faintly smiled as he stored all six into his spatial bracelet.
Then, after what he considered a short reprieve from monotony, he was then swept into the six trial, which was aptly named the Trial of Nine Forms.
Hearing that, Valyr thought to himself that he would have to comprehend five more combat styles other than the four he had already comprehended before.
Though, after listening to the trial's words, all he needed to comprehend were just four more combat styles, which made up eight combat styles in total.
As for the additional one that gave the trial its name, the trial explained that the ninth form was a combat style that took in all of the benefits of the eight combat styles into one.
Naturally, Valyr felt like he should have chosen the second option after hearing this.
But fortunately, the trial mentioned that he only had to focus on comprehending the eight styles, with the ninth style being a sort of bonus from the trial itself.
Finding it somewhat peculiar that each even-numbered trial so far had given him a bonus reward, Valyr trudged through the monotony of the sixth trial and made progress.
Picking up the axe, dagger, whip, and bow, Valyr brought his comprehension of all these new styles, as well as the old styles, to the standard of the sixth trial.
The entrance to Uncommon grade.
Of course, it went without saying that such a task took more time than Valyr would've hoped.
In fact, he had consumed a couple of vials of rousing during the task due to how long it took.
Nevertheless, he still succeeded in the end.
'Congratulations, trial taker.'
'You have cleared the Trial of Nine Forms.'
