Just as Chu Qingyun sat up, a golden light gathered within the multicolored sphere floating above the stone bed. It quickly condensed into a gold dal, which then separated from the sphere.
Seeing the gold dal that had separated, everyone present, including Zhang Nian, was stunned motionless.
The appearance of the gold dal ant that Chu Qingyun... he had passed the trial!
To pass the Difficult Level trial on his very first attempt!
This was sothing that had never happened before in the entire history of the Great Xia Dragon Guard in Lianshan County!
After floating for a mont, the gold dal dissolved back into golden light and rged into the sphere.
Everything looked exactly as it had before Chu Qingyun went in.
Looking at the utterly shocked people in the room, Chu Qingyun secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a long, internal sigh of relief.
Back in the Illusion Realm, in the center of the square, at the critical mont when the last sliver of space began to collapse, Chu Qingyun had managed to grab the gold dal just before the space was completely destroyed.
"H-Holy crap, he actually passed! On his first trial... he passed!"
"Unbelievable! Could it be he didn't make a single wrong choice? But the ti doesn't add up... Don't tell he forced his way through with sheer strength!?"
"This... As expected of a genius valued by the Lord Military Commander himself!"
After the people from the rit Assessnt Office ca to their senses, they couldn't help but exclaim in amazent one after another.
Their leader also couldn't help but shake his head and click his tongue. "Tsk, tsk. The Lord Military Commander's judgnt is truly beyond ours. This kid... his future is limitless..."
At the side, Zhang Nian suddenly burst out laughing. "Hahaha, excellent! Chu Qingyun, you truly didn't disappoint the Lord Military Commander! Co, I'll take you to upgrade your authority level!"
"Old Dong, we're leaving now!"
Beaming, Zhang Nian bid farewell to the head of the rit Assessnt Office and left with Chu Qingyun.
Earlier, the people from the rit Assessnt Office had questioned the Celestial Wind Army Master's judgnt. Although their reasoning was sound, as a Guard General of the Celestial Wind Army and a direct subordinate of the Celestial Wind Army Master, Zhang Nian had felt sowhat displeased.
Fortunately, Chu Qingyun had lived up to expectations, actually managing to pass the Difficult Level trial in a single attempt.
Seeing the utterly shocked expressions on the faces of the people from the rit Assessnt Office, Zhang Nian felt a great sense of satisfaction. His approval of Chu Qingyun naturally soared to one hundred percent!
Before leaving, Chu Qingyun glanced guiltily at the sphere of light on the stone bed. He didn't say anything unnecessary and followed Zhang Nian out.
anwhile, inside his Qi Sea, a small, rectangular Light Card, the sa color as the sphere of light, was floating quietly not far from his Devouring Martial Soul.
One must understand that his other Martial Souls, such as the Shadow Martial Soul, the Ten-star Vine Martial Soul, and the Iron Wall Martial Soul, were all forced by the Devouring Martial Soul to cower far away at the very edges of his Qi Sea.
Yet this Light Card was actually able to remain right next to the Devouring Martial Soul.
This showed that this object was by no ans ordinary!
However, Chu Qingyun's only worry now was whether taking the Light Card from the Illusion Realm would cause problems with future trials.
'I already have a plan, though. Even if soone asks, I'll just play dumb and claim I don't know anything...'
On the way, Zhang Nian told Chu Qingyun about his own identity and mission.
Although Chu Qingyun could only be considered a Gold dal Captain for now, Zhang Nian treated him as a complete equal, with no intention of regarding him as a subordinate.
Not to ntion, just the fact that he was so highly regarded by the Celestial Wind Army Master, who had personally made him a promise, was enough to make Chu Qingyun's status no less than that of an ordinary Guard General.
Besides, with the talent and strength to pass the Difficult Level trial in a single attempt, breaking through to the Martial Spirit realm was almost a certainty. Chu Qingyun's future achievents would be at least at the Guard General level, and even reaching Grand Commander wasn't out of the question.
Within the Great Xia Dragon Guard, a Military Lord possessed extrely high power and authority.
With the Celestial Wind Army Master having smoothed the way for him, Chu Qingyun encountered no obstacles or difficulties in raising the authority level on his token to the Army Guardian Level.
After his own task was completed, Zhang Nian revealed a smile of relief.
"Brother Chu, it's still early. Do you want to co with to watch the Four Races Martial Arts Competition of the Four Great Clans? Their standards are nothing special, but watching our Celestial Wind Army captains crush the geniuses of the Four Races is quite amusing."
Zhang Nian said with a smile.
Chu Qingyun smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, I'll have to pass. I have so urgent business to take care of at the exchange office."
Zhang Nian laughed. "I understand, I understand. If I were the one who got Grand Commander-level authority, I wouldn't be able to resist going to see what treasures are on the next level up either. In that case, I'll go by myself."
After Zhang Nian left, Chu Qingyun also headed to the exchange office.
There were also rewards for passing the Illusion Realm trial assessnt.
One thousand Military rits for the Ordinary Level, three thousand for the General Level, and five thousand for the Difficult Level.
Since Chu Qingyun had passed the Difficult Level in one go, it was equivalent to passing all three levels. Before leaving the rit Assessnt Office, he had received the full sum of nine thousand Military rits!
Adding the one thousand-plus Military rits remaining on his token, he now had over ten thousand Military rits again. Naturally, he wanted to buy Thunderlight Stones to cultivate his Thunder Light Sword Qi.
But aside from that, there was sothing even more important.
When he only had Captain Level authority, he could see the treasures sold in the Military Guard District, but there were no elixirs among them.
But now, with Army Guardian Level authority, he could see the treasures that could be purchased with Grand Commander-level authority. He wanted to see if the One Yang Pill was for sale among them.
When he arrived at the exchange office again, many people inside recognized Chu Qingyun.
"Captain Chu is back at the exchange office. Did you get another large sum of Military rits?" a person ca forward to greet him, speaking with a smile.
After the last ti Chu Qingyun and Xia He caused a huge scene at the exchange office, the people here had all beco much more restrained and no longer dared to bully others casually.
Towards Chu Qingyun, they were especially respectful and didn't dare to be the least bit impudent.
'He beat Liu Cangyi and his five companions to a pulp yet received no punishnt at all. I heard he's even favored by a Grand Commander. This isn't soone we can afford to provoke.'
Chu Qingyun nodded and said, "I was lucky. I got another ten thousand-plus Military rits."
The man's eye imdiately started to twitch.
'Holy hell, another ten thousand-plus Military rits! You've only been here for a few days, how many "ten thousand-plus Military rits" have you gotten already? Have Military rits been devalued or sothing...?'
"Uh, Captain Chu, the Captain District is this way. Where you're headed is the Military Guard District..."
The man had been following Chu Qingyun, and when he saw him walking towards the Military Guard District, he couldn't help but carefully remind him.
Chu Qingyun smiled and said, "I know. The Military Guard District is exactly where I'm going."
