Chapter 185

"Heh, played a bit too big, played myself out."

Chen Ping couldn't move, so he could only signal Milan to help him to the recliner on the side.

Afterward, Chen Ping told Milan about his experience at the auction; when he mentioned that he had participated in the "puzzle-solving" of the dimensional fragment.

Milan gave Chen Ping a "you have a big life" look.

That level of "puzzle-solving"—without Extraordinary-rank strength, going up was just asking for death.

Milan checked Chen Ping from head to toe, and after confirming that Chen Ping really had no other injuries, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, for Chen Ping's reckless behavior, Milan was also rarely angry.

As Chen Ping's guardian, Milan had always adhered to her principles.

Now, they had only been separated for a while, and he had gone off to risk his life; this was unacceptable!

Seeing Milan angry for the first time, Chen Ping could only helplessly comfort and soothe her.

And just then, the auction entry ticket card that had fallen to the ground suddenly floated up, with golden light flickering.

Following that, the round face on the card suddenly became lively; after the eyeballs turned, it actually popped out!

Following behind it, there was also a miniature version of the mysterious person!

Seeing these two figures appear, Chen Ping's face beamed with a brilliant smile.

Look, the reward for a successful gamble—isn't it here!

Milan stood in front of Chen Ping immediately.

But when she felt the Demigod aura on these two miniature figures, she also became solemn.

The auction owner looked at Milan and let out a sound of surprise.

"This soul of yours is quite interesting; don't worry, we have no malice."

"This kid did something incredible, so we're here to give him a reward."

The auction owner and the mysterious person flew in front of Milan and Chen Ping.

Looking at Chen Ping, who was limp on the recliner, they immediately saw what had happened to Chen Ping and couldn't help but laugh.

"... Kid, next time you do things, it's best to act according to your ability."

"The relationship between you and us is because of the auction puzzle-solving; this belongs to a contract binding, so receiving the reward is no problem."

"But if we were to help you recover from your soul overdraft, it would count as cheating for the trial world, and we would suffer backlash."

When the auction owner spoke, their powerful mental power had already scanned the entire trial world.

Last time they remotely sensed this place, they hadn't explored the situation of the trial world.

This time, since they had entered, they might as well check it out.

As a result, they discovered something unusual; this trial world seemed to have some strange situations.

The auction owner didn't even know how many hundreds of years ago it had been since they participated in the Lord Trial.

They rarely paid attention to such basic affairs nowadays, so for a moment, they didn't know if there was a problem.

The mysterious person, however, came to Chen Ping with their hands tucked in their sleeves.

Although it was a miniature version, Chen Ping still couldn't see the face hidden under the hood.

"Kid, I really didn't expect you to have not passed the trial yet..."

"Is this your territory? It doesn't look like much..."

"Hmm? Blood Spirit, hiss, the Blood Spirit actually has recovery ability?"

After the initial sigh, the mysterious person also scanned the surrounding situation like the auction owner.

As a result, they mistakenly thought the Xue Xue Lingling was Chen Ping's territory and frowned deeply at this.

But upon seeing the Blood Spirits in training, they shouted in surprise again.

The auction owner was also awakened by the mysterious person's actions and sensed the surroundings, also exclaiming in surprise.

When the Xue Xue Lingling was strong back then, they were just small fries, so they had a deep impression of this.

Later, when the Blood Spirit declined, they had also been asked to help come up with ideas, but they had no ability to solve it.

Now seeing the Blood Spirit actually using the unique skills and abilities of the Blood Spirit again, how could they not be surprised.

The fact that the Xue Xue Lingling could recover its ability was absolutely inseparable from Chen Ping.

Because they thought of that evolution in the fragment world at the same time.

"Kid, this wouldn't be your talent ability, would it?"

"The main credit is indeed the effect of my talent."

Hiss.

The mysterious person gasped, but didn't ask what Chen Ping's lord talent was.

They took out a crystal-style small sculpture from their sleeve and handed it to Chen Ping.

Although this sculpture was small, it was carved with numerous buildings and human figures, looking like a complete small world.

【Miniature Territory】

【Super Rare Treasure, can directly strengthen the existing territory after use】

【Your territory has been identified; it will directly upgrade your territory to an Initial Territory and perform attribute multiplication strengthening】

Whoa.

Chen Ping almost dropped the crystal sculpture on the ground with a shake of his hand.

This treasure was worthy of the super rare evaluation, directly skipping the requirements for the next few levels of his territory and upgrading it to an Initial Territory.

And the full-attribute multiplication strengthening directly shortened the conditions he needed to upgrade to Intermediate.

In other words, once he used this crystal sculpture 【Miniature Territory】, he would be competing with other apprentice lords with the strength of an official lord!

This Lord Trial would have no suspense for him anymore!

Chen Ping had picked for a long time at the auction and hadn't been able to buy many things to strengthen his territory.

This time, the mysterious person directly gave him a full-level upgrade!

In fact, the mysterious person giving this thing was also targeted.

They knew what people in the Lord Trial valued most: the territory!

The territory was the foundation of a lord; only when the territory was strengthened did the lord have a future.

However, the reward for letting them witness a world evolution was not just this!

The auction owner floated over happily.

"I think someone like you shouldn't need our help to win the trial."

"But since we can shorten your development time, why not do it?"

"They have already given you what the territory needs, and what I want to give you is for individual strength."

After the auction owner finished speaking, they took out a glittering golden object from their pocket.

It dazzled Chen Ping and Milan until they squinted... ===== CHAPTER 186 =====

129: The Greatest of All Previous Lord Trials!?

Golden light filled the entire room.

It felt as if the auction house owner had pulled out a sun!

When the light faded, what appeared before Chen Ping was a drop of golden liquid.

This drop of liquid gave one a sense of flawlessness; once you looked at it, you couldn't tear your eyes away.

The auction house owner's other hand was wreathed in rolling magic power, though it was unclear what he was doing to the droplet.

A layer of invisible membrane wrapped around the droplet, and subsequently, the light and aura faded away completely.

Then, he took out a necklace and set the droplet into it.

"This drop is the Dew of Origin."

"Even for Extraordinary-stage beings, this drop of Dew of Origin can bring them immense benefits."

"You have provided us with a near-perfect demonstration of world evolution, bringing forth immeasurable realization."

"I shall bestow this Dew of Origin upon you as a reward."

The auction house owner reached out and held it up, and the Dew of Origin fell into Chen Ping's hand.

【Dew of Origin Necklace】

【A Dew of Origin set in Super-Divine Metal, sealed by the power of a Demigod; requires day and night of contemplation to obtain the Power of Origin】

【Contemplating the Dew of Origin can grant Super-Stage knowledge of origin and allow one to comprehend Super-Stage abilities】

【Basic Ability: Specifically strengthens one of the wearer's skills, causing it to undergo an elemental elevation】
