'Are they really Warrior monsters? Their attributes rival that of Tier 1 already!' Xuan Yuan exclaimed.
'With such overpowered lizards, three pseudo-Tier 1 swordsmen and even the unknown monsters at the third level. No wonder not many actually succeeds and reach Tier 1' Xuan Yuan concluded.
'I can't afford a direct clash with them unless I activate this skill...' Xuan Yuan sighed.
Xuan Yuan let out a low shout as the Flames burned on his body once more and his sword began blazing with fire as the full might of a Silver ranked weapon was activated...
Xuan Yuan didn't waste time and began fighting with the three swordsmen. The duration of the skill was just 1 minute, he needed to quickly end the fight before then otherwise he'd lose the fight.
Xuan Yuan immediately charged at the Swordsmen and sent three sword lights each exhibiting power at the Tier 1 standard at the Sword disciples.
The Sword disciples instantly cast defensive blade to defend against it but were still forced a few steps back with some part of their HP missing.
Xuan Yuan immediately charged the Sword disciples he was fighting with earlier and before the others could react they already exchanged about 5 strikes and the Sword disciple had lost about 40% of his HP.
Xuan Yuan jumped back to avoid the counterattack of the Sword disciples.
They gathered momentum as they executed Triple Slash one after another sending a total of nine blades at Xuan Yuan.
Xuan Yuan calmly executed defensive blade in response. The blades arrived one after another and struck defensive blade one after another. Defensive Blade which had been strengthened by the Magic sword skill managed to withstand seven blades of light. He activated the
He immediately charged at the Swordsmen once the Skills was blocked and had a fierce battle with them before eventually defeating them after about 30 mins of battle.
Xuan Yuan had no idea why he was being warned but the warning still told him, the next opponents might be dangerous and might even be Tier 1 Experts...
After waiting for his skills particularly Magic sword to end he climbed up the stairs and arrived at the third level.
The third level was surprisingly more smaller in size compared to the previous levels with a swordman wielding a Silvery sword and a Swordman Armor stood quietly in the middle of the Hall.
'What?!!' Xuan Yuan exclaimed as he took a good look at the Swordman in the room.
His Final opponent was actually himself...
For Tier 1 promotion quests, Players have to complete three trials to complete the quest. The first two trials are just a way for players to prove that they have indeed learned their Tier 0 skills.
But the Final trial is a guidance instead. Players are to fight against the Tier 1 version of themselves and get firsthand experience of the power of Tier 1 skills.
Now, on the third level of the Sword trial, a figure that looked exactly the same as Xuan Yuan slowly raised his eyes and glanced at Xuan Yuan with deep eyes.
Trial Guardian (Tier 1 Elite rank) Level 30
HP: 5000
Xuan Yuan gulped lowly as he wore a nervous expression on his face. 'This is the Final trial, I've to pass!' He declared.
Xuan Yuan sighed in relief, as he heard the notification. 'Thankfully, I only have to defend for 3mins. I'm not required to Slay him' He said with a solemn expression on his face. Even though he just needed to survive for just 3 mins, that wasn't an easy task either. The difference between Tier 0 and Tier 1 was so big that a Tier 1 player could effortlessly massacre team of Tier 0 players. Asking a Tier 0 player to find against a Tier 1 expert is like sending him to his death. Yet, one had to do this to reach Tier 1...
Xuan Yuan unsheathed his sword and got into a battle stance. By now, the Trial Guardian has awoken fully and has equipped his Silvery sword to charge at Xuan Yuan...
'So this is the power of Tier 1!' Xuan Yuan exclaimed as he traded blows with the Trial Guardian barely managing to have a equal fight with him. Of course, that was possible only when he's not using any Tier 1 Skills.
After trading blows with the Boss for about a minute, he suddenly developed the wild idea of slaying the Trial Guardian. 'If I slay him, I might get an unexpected reward' He thought as he smiled evilly as he activated the Flames and Magic sword once more.
Flames burn on his body as his sword pulsated with its peak power in Xuan Yuan's grip as Xuan Yuan suddenly went for the offensive sending three blades of light at the Trial Guardian.
Xuan Yuan let out a low shout as the blades of light as light flew rapidly towards the Trial Guardian with power rivaling that of Tier 1 experts. To his surprise however, the Boss merely chopped and managed to block the sword strikes effortlessly.
The battle went on for another minute as Xuan Yuan fought at his peak state but still failed to seize the advantage talkless of slaying the Guardian.
'Fuck you!' Xuan Yuan roared as the one minute duration ended and the Sword's power weakened before returning to an ordinary Silver ranked sword.
But all of a sudden, the Guardian laughed wickedly as his aura rose sharply...
'Huh?!' Xuan Yuan eyes widened in surprise...
