Two and a half hours passed, and with just half an hour remaining before Round 3 began, another ten announcent notifications appeared, signifying the conquest of the final ten Obelisks in the 7th Trial Continent.
Shortly after, another notification appeared, marking the comncent of the next stage of the Obelisk Acquisition.
╭── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╮
﴾# Trial World Announcent # ﴿
A new authority level, Tertiary Authority, will be introduced below the Primary and Secondary Authorities for the Obelisks in Trial Continent No. 7.
The new resource allocation will be as follows:
10% for Tertiary Authority holders
25% for Secondary Authority holders
65% for Primary Authority holders
The Transportation Feature is now unlocked, enabling teleportation between all 100 conquered Obelisks in Trial Continent No. 7. The number of Spirit Stones required for teleportation will depend on the distance to the destination Obelisk.
Ten 5th Order Obelisks will be evenly planted across Trial Continent No. 7 before Day-21 begins. To avoid a monster outbreak, at least three floors must be cleared daily.
Conquering a 5th Order Obelisk will permanently stop monster outbreaks. Successfully conquering all ten will unlock the final Continental challenge: the 6th Order Obelisk.

With MJ keeping him inford about the course of the Trial Program, Jay wasn't surprised by the new developnts.
However, the sa couldn't be said for the Alpha Chosen across the Trial World. While many had anticipated that Jay would conquer all 100 Obelisks in the 7th Continent by the end of the day, the sudden ergence of 10 new Obelisks—specifically 5th Order ones—was unexpected news to them.
Even more unsettling was the knowledge that a 6th Order Obelisk would erge upon the conquest of those ten 5th Order Obelisks.
The implications were clear: the 6th Order Obelisk would contain Tier-6 monsters—1,000 of them.
Defeating such a vast number of powerful creatures to conquer the Obelisk was a daunting task that most assud would take a significant amount of ti before any Raid team could grow strong enough to accomplish that.
While this was the general consensus among Alpha Chosen throughout the Trial World, those who participated in the sa Tournant as Jay held a different perspective.
For them, the question wasn't about how long it would take Jay to conquer the ten 5th Order Obelisks and the 6th Order Obelisk, but rather how quickly he would accomplish it. After all, they had witnessed Jay kill Tier-7 monsters, making Tier-6 monsters in the 6th Order Obelisk seem far less intimidating in comparison.
anwhile, Jay paid little attention to the announcent and returned to his cultivation.
A few minutes before the six-hour break ended, he regrouped with the rest of the Earth team and headed to the Colosseum. Once everyone was seated in the designated area, Wibbit began explaining the proceedings for Round 3.
Similar to the previous tournant, Round 3 was divided into two segnts. In the first segnt, the 25 qualified teams were randomly allocated into five groups. This segnt was the most ti-consuming, as it involved nearly 25 teams fighting against each other in a 3 vs. 3 format through individual bouts.
As the first segnt began, Jay returned to his cultivation, letting the bouts proceed without much concern. One after another, the matches took place, but whenever it was the Earth team's turn to fight, their opponents chose to forfeit outright.
The sa situation repeated continuously, and the rest of Earth's Alpha Chosen eventually stopped paying attention to the bouts, choosing instead to focus on training their respective masteries.
Most of the intense bouts occurred between teams that were part of Jay's faction, showcasing the significant quality gap between the Orion Vanguard and the rest.
All Sigil Holders benefited from Looted Stats, receiving a portion of Jay's overall stats, 10% for Rudintary Sigil Holders and 25% for Minor Sigil Holders.
With Jay's imnse overall stats, the allocated Looted Stats were substantial, to the point where most Sigil Holders were still adjusting to them. Compounding this was the fact that Jay's stats continued to steadily increase with each refinent cycle every ten minutes.
It took a full six hours for the first segnt to conclude, and by then, the Top-10 teams had been finalized.
Aside from the Earth team, the remaining nine teams in the Top-10 were all part of the Orion Vanguard. They included the Atlans, Lycanthropes, Horned Beetles, Owlites, Silephians, Tilephians, Centaurs, Yinad's team, and Zeix's team.
The Rock Magmoids narrowly missed the Top-10 but managed to secure a position among the Top-15.
Many other teams, which might have been expected to rank among the Top-10, found themselves pushed out due to the Orion Vanguard teams' significant growth. The teoric rise in strength of these teams, courtesy of their mbership in Orion Vanguard, left no room for complaints.
None dared to voice any objections, opting instead to quietly observe as the second segnt began, which would determine the final rankings among the Top-10.
During this segnt, no team was eager to fight another, as a loss would result in half of the losing team's score being transferred to the winning team.
Such a risk could jeopardize their position in the Top-10. However, the Atlans were the only ones bold enough to initiate a challenge, targeting the Lycanthropes.
To be precise, it was Akor who instigated the fight, challenging Rex. The loss Akor had suffered in the last Tournant still weighed heavily on him, and he sought to redeem himself in this one.
Before long, the fight comnced, with Rex and Akor facing off in the first bout itself.
The intensity of the battle left many spectators in disbelief. Most had assud Rex would have the upper hand with his Pseudo-Speed Energy and the extraordinary speed it granted him. However, they were surprised to learn that during the 6-hour break after Round 2, Akor had achieved Stage-5 Mastery.
Even with his newfound mastery, it took considerable effort for Akor to defeat Rex and reclaim his position as the strongest hardcore follower of Jay.
Following his hard-fought victory, Akor easily dominated the two subsequent bouts, defeating Rex's teammates with minimal effort. The Atlans erged as the winners, and the Lycanthropes lost half of their score to the Atlans.
Despite their loss, the Lycanthropes managed to remain in the Top-10, which was precisely why Akor had been willing to initiate the challenge in the first place.
The last thing Akor wanted was to risk displeasing Jay by causing the Lycanthropes' disqualification from the final tournant due to his desire to fight Rex.
Once the clash between the Atlans and the Lycanthropes concluded, no other team dared to initiate a challenge.
The final rankings were announced, and remarkably, the Earth team secured their position without participating in either segnt of Round 3.
