After flying continuously for about 25 mins, he saw a 15 storeyed temple appear in the distance. The temple was painted in purple as it towered high with a solemn aura around it. It was the Holy temple of Humanity
In this place, there were not so many players mainly because the temple was not that famous to players yet though it would be in the future. But currently, there were only a few NPCs passing by occasionally with Tier 2 Guards standing like a robot with no emotion.
As Xuan Yuan arrived in front of the temple, he was not obstructed because of his overpowered title that allowed him to turn a whole continent into his own backyard. He entered the temple and went to the NPC at the reception counter.
"Welcome to the Holy Temple of Humanity Lord Sword Mage" The level 100 Tier 2 Wizard at the counter greeted. "What business do you have in the temple?"
"I was sent by the City Ruler to test my strength at the Tower of evaluation" He replied.
"Okay please wait for a moment" The NPC said.
The Temple of Humanity was a place that'd become a Holy land sought by all players in the future, the reason being because of this Tower of evaluation. The Tower of evaluation is not only meant for players to test their strength, but also to receive valuable guidance!
Past Tier 3, players are left to find their own path. This path is not only limited to grinding levels gaining attributes only. Powerful skills, spells, legacy guidance are also needed for players to become stronger. At lower tiers, skills are not difficult to learn as only certain actions are needed for the skills to be executed. But at Tier 3, skills become more complex and learning becomes more difficult. Moreover, there is also the skill execution rate which determines the overall power the spell would bring out. For example, a skill will only exhibit ordinary powers at 70% execution rate, at 80% upwards, the skills now exhibit more power than usual. If two players were to execute the same skill, the one with superior gets the advantage in terms of power. And this Skill execution rate depends on how perfect the players are at the steps required for the skill's execution.
In the Tower of evaluation, you will be able to fight a clone who will demonstrate to you how to perfectly execute your skills at 100% completion rates! Such a ridiculous benefit made the tower the top choice of players...
"Please follow me, my Lord" the NPC said as he led Xuan Yuan to a room. The room looked small but when he entered he discovered that the room was as big as a standard stadium on Earth with a size of over 500metre wide.
The NPC who led him there didn't follow him inside, he was all on his own. Just when he was at a loss on what to do, the room suddenly brightened as a system notification echoed in his ears.
The room glowed with brilliant golden light that surrounded him.
At this moment, nine figures wearing a sword appeared in front of Xuan Yuan. It was the Tier 0 forms of himself wielding the Silver Runic longsword and a bunch of common rank equipments.
Sage Yuan (Clone) Level 10 (Tier 0)
HP: 1000
Immediately, the clones unsheathed their swords and accelerated towards Xuan Yuan with swords raised.
'Now Tier 0s dares to challenge me now!' Xuan Yuan chuckled. He didn't unsheathed his sword but instead drew a curse and directed it at the charging clones who were about 5 metres away from him.
Funnily though, before the clones could reach him, their HP was depleted to zero and they dropped down into a beam of white light.
A golden glow covered Xuan Yuan as he leveled up to level 40. Previously he was level 35, but after slaughtering so many players from Heaven will Guild, they ended up becoming walking EXP troves instead. Now he was only 10 levels away from level 50 when he could challenge his promotion quest and also equip the Profound Lightning Sabre...
Xuan Yuan didn't stop and quickly ascended the stairs at the corner and immediately reached the second level of the Tower.
When he arrived, he immediately noticed nine clones with the same appearances as those on the first floors. The only difference was that they were Tier 1s instead...
Sage Yuan (clone) Level 40 (Tier 1)
HP: 1000...
They also charged at Xuan Yuan immediately without hesitation executing nine Tier 1 Sword Skills at Xuan Yuan. Xuan Yuan formed nine sword condensing Magic arrays which formed nine swords in front of himself as he executed a ninefold defensive blade in front of him. Without any suspense, the ninefold defensive blades blocked the skills of the Swordmen...
