Chapter 65

The lords remaining in the valley also led their subordinates and gave chase to the previous group.

The remaining civilian lords were stunned, but due to the commotion caused by the infighting among the alliance lords, the orcs had already regained their senses.

The furious orcs immediately unleashed their rage upon these people.

Several civilian lords couldn't even manage to resist; in an instant, they were swarmed by the orcs and torn to shreds.

The orc commander, radiating waves of heat, roared and led the orcs charging toward the area where Chen Ping and his group were located.

Meanwhile, Chen Ping was standing at the original position of the pillar of light, and a golden token was descending from the sky, landing in his hand.

The battle in the valley was about to reignite.

Outside the valley, the entire Trial World was plunged into madness because of this announcement.

North District.

Huang Qi scrambled across a stream in a sorry state, with a vast number of pursuers still behind him.

Yet, at this moment, he looked very excited, his face filled with a ecstatic smile.

"As expected of Chen Ping, damn it, he's awesome! I'm going to go join you right now!"

72: Terrified opponents, Chen Ping is about to make a move.

Huang Qi hurriedly led his subordinates across the stream and headed toward the depths of the wilderness.

Behind him, the pursuing lords simultaneously slowed down, each of them wearing an expression of astonishment.

"Chen Ping? Is that the one at the top of the Golden Ranking?"

"Nonsense, is there a second Chen Ping besides the one at the top of the Golden Ranking?"

"An S-rank pillar of light... I didn't expect there to be only one in each district..."

"What kind of god-like person is this? He had a thousand points when the ranking opened, and now he's the first to break an S-rank pillar of light."

"The assessment has only been going on for a day, right? Why does it feel like a long time has passed because of this news?"

As the lords spoke, they were silenced by the last sentence.

Someone silently raised their hand to check the time.

It was still four hours away from the end of the first day since the assessment started...

"Others have already broken an S-rank pillar of light in one day, what are we doing...?"

This sentence was even more demoralizing. The lords suddenly remembered their goals and looked up into the distance.

Huang Qi had already run so far that his shadow was barely visible.

"Damn it!"

"This dog is almost gone. We've been chasing for a day; if we don't slaughter this loudmouth, wouldn't it be a wasted run!?"

"Don't worry about the Golden Ranking big shot's achievements; we can't compare to him."

The lords shook their heads, clearing Chen Ping's influence from their minds.

Chen Ping's achievements were simply too damaging to their confidence, so everyone tacitly chose to ignore them.

Unlike in the East District, the lords in the North District had elevated Chen Ping's image significantly.

The public channel was now completely dominated by topics about Chen Ping: first on the ranking, first to break an S-rank pillar of light, the first-break reward, and the district-wide announcement.

More importantly, all of this was accomplished on the first day after the assessment began.

People were discussing whether there had ever been such a record in history.

After counting back and forth, everyone was astonished to find that this was actually a first in history!

Major rewards like S-rank pillars of light had existed in previous lord trials.

But since records began, rewards of this level had taken at least a week after the start of the assessment to be conquered.

Wei Er also silently watched the discussions on the public channel, unable to help but think of the Chen Ping who had personally slaughtered Lu Fei.

He sighed in his heart, as expected of the top of the Golden Ranking; it was no surprise that he dared to kill Lu Fei and now took the S-rank reward by breaking the record.

At this moment, someone on the public channel suddenly discovered the S-rank pillar of light in their North District.

That lord was a member of one of the alliances in the North District, specializing in support, with all skills pointed toward related professions.

With the help of others, he observed the defense value of the S-rank pillar of light.

Holy crap! Five hundred thousand!

What!? Five hundred thousand? Doesn't this damn thing need to be ground down for days and nights to be broken?

Holy crap, is Chen Ping even human? How did he do it? Could it be that this pillar of light has a fatal weakness?

Very likely, otherwise, how could five hundred thousand defense points be broken so quickly?

Oh my god, there are massive amounts of guardian beasts around the pillar of light, a group of magical beasts with an average level of 20! At least a thousand of them!

The BOSS was also seen, and this BOSS can summon subordinates. Damn, we can't hold out, we're running away.

The live commentary ends here.

However, the public channel was quiet for only a moment before it became noisy again.

Before there was a comparison, people just thought Chen Ping was awesome.

But now that there was a comparison, damn it, they felt it wasn't just a question of whether Chen Ping was awesome or not.

This was the rhythm of becoming the number one person in the history of the lord trials!

Moreover, because the defense value was too high, people were led astray, thinking that the pillar of light probably had a fatal weakness.

Chen Ping must have found the fatal weakness to be able to break the pillar of light in such a short time.

This stimulated countless North District lords to be eager to move, each wanting to go and test the waters.

What if I found it myself? Wouldn't the S-rank pillar of light reward in the North District be mine?

This thought popped up in almost everyone's mind.

Not just in the North District, but also in the West and South Districts, people were thinking the same, because they had also found their own S-rank pillars of light.

In the South District, Natasha finally reunited with her companions from the Holy Territory.

The Holy Territory, as a territorial power evolved from the temple, consisted of various mixed-blood races.

This batch of gathered Holy Territory lords totaled more than fifty people, with the four strongest among them.

Natasha was the undisputed first, because her Golden Ranking was temporarily the highest.

And behind her was a half-dragon with dragon bloodline.

Further back were a half-sea race and a half-elf.

At this moment, the four of them had vaguely become the leaders of the Holy Territory faction, and everyone had been discussing who should take the lead.

The result was abruptly interrupted by a district-wide announcement.

At this moment, everyone was silent, and their expressions were a bit strange.

Natasha raised her head, looked at the half-dragon man in front of her, and then looked at the sea-race woman and the elf man beside her.

On her exquisite face was a faint smile of shared honor.

"This is the person I want to join. For this trial, I have decided to attach myself to Chen Ping."

Natasha slowly said this sentence, but this time, others did not oppose it as fiercely as before.

After everyone gathered, Natasha had stated her position.

The result at that time was the opposition of almost all the Holy Territory lords.

Everyone lamented Natasha's lack of ambition, and even angrily rebuked Natasha for boosting others' morale and having no leadership responsibility.

Even the elf man, who was also of the elf lineage, vaguely opposed Natasha's decision.

Among the various lineages of the Holy Territory, the elf lineage occupied the second largest number, occupying fifteen seats out of more than fifty.

It was the largest force in the Holy Territory and possessed an undeniable status.

The orc lineage, which had the largest number, although it occupied twenty-eight seats, did not have enough powerful lords, so its voice was not high.

Natasha stated her meaning this time, not thinking that she could get everyone's agreement.

She mainly sought to win over her compatriots of the orc lineage.

Previously, the lords of the orc lineage did not express any attitude, but after Chen Ping's district-wide announcement, they were obviously moved.

Although the Holy Territory was also a member of humanity, because of their own half-bloodline, they were actually not very well accepted by humans.

Everyone looked at the Holy Territory more as a separate force.

Therefore, in previous lord trials, Holy Territory lords basically attached themselves to other power alliances.

Since that's the case, who else would you rely on if not them?

Natasha had said she was very familiar with Chen Ping and had cooperated with him, so if everyone went to join him, at least the treatment wouldn't be bad, right?

They didn't ask for anything else; as long as there was no discrimination, any development was fine. ===== CHAPTER 66 =====
