You may choose one item amongst the first four rows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Four Stars?' Shang thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little bit lower, Shang could see how the trial judged performances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Star: Get to the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two Stars: Get to the end and fulfill the criterium for success for one of the first two challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Stars: Get to the end and fulfill the criteria for success for both of the first two challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four Stars: Get to the end and achieve minor success on the first two challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five Stars: Get to the end and achieve major success on the first two challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That answered some of the questions Shang had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It seems like the first two challenges were actually optional, and I only needed to get through the third one to get a reward.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I presume that knowing the level three Concepts for ice and fire would get someone a three-star evaluation. To get a four-star one, someone probably needs to push it even further.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'The five-star one probably needs the level four Concepts for both of them.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Thanks to the Concept of Twilight, my Concepts of Addition and Subtraction can now exhibit the power of level three Concepts, which would allow them to get a three-star evaluation on their own.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, since Subtraction and Addition specialize in producing extreme results, it was enough to get a four-star evaluation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'To get a five-star one, I would probably need Subtraction, Addition, Incineration, and Blizzard. I don't think I would need Explosion or Zero.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang nodded and looked at the items he could choose from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first row was filled with small piles of Grade Seven Mana Crystals, each one consisting of five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also some small emblems signifying properties in some cities or towns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second row had some herbs and metals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang didn't recognize any of them, but he guessed that these were probably worth more than the piles of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third row was filled with books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what Shang could see, these were Spell Books. He guessed that these were probably Spells that past Clouds had come up with, which would make them worth a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe the person would even get the right to distribute these Spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth row only had three items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three were vouchers to access useful areas that helped in comprehending Concepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, Shang couldn't see the last item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By entering the trial and getting through it the normal way, Shang had achieved his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had managed to enter the room of rewards before it was destroyed by the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang walked past the rewards, to one of the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang punched the wall into dust, revealing a barrier behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This room of rewards is probably identical to the other one, and since all the rewards were destroyed by the earth after I broke the big Magic Circle, this probably means that the barriers protecting all the individual rewards are probably connected to the big one.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'As soon as I break the big one, all the individual barriers will break, and I will have a moment to gather all of them.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang's body transformed into a husk again as he continued touching the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up above the water, Lucin sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You're lucky you found one,' he thought. 'I won't overlook this the next time.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Next time, I will make individual barriers that will kill anyone that damages them significantly.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucin sighed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Fucking Death Mana.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A couple of minutes later, the ground above the trial sank considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trial had been buried by the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some seconds later, the ground exploded, and Shang floated out of the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Shang actually felt a bit excited as he looked at all the rewards in his Space Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had earned a lot of money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything combined, Shang estimated that he had probably earned around 500 Grade Seven Mana Crystals just from this trial alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what was the mysterious reward in the fifth row?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, the trial was only slightly uncommon with average rewards, but the best reward from this trial still wasn't bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it couldn't even nearly compare to something like becoming a Mage King's student, but it was still quite valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Bolt will be your servant for one century for free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was definitely worth quite a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, Shang could just tell the Bolt to sit down and make Mana Crystals, which would give him 100 Grade Seven Mana Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that would be a waste of the Bolt's strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang guessed that this perk was probably worth around 200 Grade Seven Mana Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not too shabby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After looking through all the things he had taken from the trial, Shang continued walking forward on the ground of the Eternal Ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had a bit less than one year ahead of him, and he wouldn't waste it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, Shang wouldn't meet any more Initial or Early Ancestral Mages during that last year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, the ten years of the Wilderness Hunt were up, and it was time for everyone to return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Wilderness Hunt is over! Everyone, pass through the outer barrier and come to the surface. Until you are back at the Hibye, any sort of fighting is prohibited!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shang heard Lucin's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He healed his body in an instant and shot upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to return to the Hibye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He should have earned far more than enough for the thing he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1018,"2026-06-06T04:07:23.285Z",1,"novelbin.me","923603b4bef05e20fb904b6358ebb214c1d7700d2281778faa17bcb6e2b67080","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-780","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-778",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
