Chapter 66 Medal of Glory
"Glory Power, Tier 3!"
Gazing at the words displayed on the enormous test stone tablet, the girl remained expressionless, only clenching her fists tightly.
The sharp nails dug deep into the flesh, bringing waves of excruciating pain.
"Hua Ling, Glory Battle Strength, Tier 3! Level: Low!"
The middle-aged man standing to the side glanced at the information displayed on the stone tablet and announced it in a detached tone.
The middle-aged man's words immediately caused a mocking commotion in the surging crowd in the square.
"Heh, just as I expected, our Suifeng Territory's number one genius is still stuck in the same place!"
"Sigh, what a waste of resources! If only I had those cultivation resources!"
"Heh heh, that's what happens when your father isn't the former city lord!"
"How did a genius once renowned throughout the entire realm fall to such a state?"
"Perhaps her reputation as a genius is entirely fabricated, a facade created by Old Wang to promote her!"
"If you ask me, she should just find a suitable husband and get married, so she can stop being so embarrassed every year!"
The disdainful jeers and sighs of regret coming from the surroundings felt like sharp thorns piercing the girl's heart.
She slowly raised her head, revealing an exceptionally beautiful face.
She glanced at the people around her expressionlessly, a bitter feeling welling up in her heart.
Are all these people so opportunistic and mean-spirited?
If it were two hundred years ago, would they have dared to mock them so brazenly?
The more humble and modest they were back then, the more despicable they are now!
Father, your sacrifices were completely worthless!
She turned and walked away dejectedly, her lonely figure standing out from the rest of the world.
"She is the daughter of Harley, the former lord of the Immortal Royal City, and the niece of Claudius, the current lord, the fallen genius Hua Ling?"
Qi Yuan stood in the crowd, quietly observing the departing girl.
A few days ago, he finally found a city inhabited by indigenous people.
This place is called Suifengling.
Within the Realm of Glory, the territory is divided into five levels: Boundary, Realm, Territory, Post, and Fortress.
Each realm is suppressed by an immortal royal city.
The lord of the royal city is an immortal god who rules over a vast territory.
The city lord appointed many realm lords under his command, who were stationed in each "realm".
The Lord of the Realm appointed many Domain Lords under his command, who were stationed in each "territory".
The domain lord has appointed numerous cosmic-level officials to oversee each "post".
Under the cosmic-level command, numerous star-level beings were also appointed to govern each "fortress".
Each "realm" is separated by a great distance, blocked by countless monster territories, together forming the entire Glory Secret Realm.
Therefore, Suifeng territory belongs to the boundaries of Zhong'an City and northern Zhejiang.
This is the outermost "territory" of this domain, bordering the sea and adjacent to the territory of the demon beasts.
Therefore, the people here are known for their fierce and warlike nature, and wars are frequent.
After arriving here, Qi Yuan had already found out how to obtain the Glory Medal.
It's very simple; you just need to test your strength and the power of your secret techniques on the magic stone tablet.
Based on one's own realm and combat power amplitude, testing the magic stone tablet will reveal the combat power level, which is called glorious combat power.
Glory Power is divided into nine tiers, with each tier consisting of three tiers and a grade.
Those with high-level Glory Battle Power will receive rewards from the lords of higher-level cities, including cultivation resources.
Once your Glory Battle Power exceeds Rank 9, you will receive the Glory Medal and the rewards from the Immortal Royal City.
The Medal of Honor is extremely difficult to obtain.
Each winner will receive special training from the Lord of the Immortal Royal City.
Hua Ling was once a Glory Battle Power Level 9, just one step away from obtaining the Glory Medal.
Later, a huge change occurred: the former city lord died in battle, and Hua Ling's strength continued to decline.
For many years, he has maintained the Glory Battle Power Level 3.
These facts were common knowledge in Suifeng territory, and were easily found out.
However, he couldn't find out anything about the Wind Source Crystal; it seemed to be top secret.
"It seems that the only way to find out about the Wind Source Crystal is to start from two aspects."
First, there's Yan Qi, the lord of Suifeng Territory; second, there's Hua Ling.
Qi Yuan was lost in thought when he noticed that all the other test takers had already passed by, and it was soon his turn.
"Next up, Qi Yuan."
Qi Yuan walked up and arrived at the testing magic stone tablet.
When he touched it, an illusion appeared.
Qi Yuan did not break free from the illusion, allowing the power of the illusion to pull him along, and his consciousness appeared on a void battlefield.
A massive, ninth-tier cosmic-level demonic beast stood before him.
"The test begins. Defeat the beast in front of you to advance to the next level."
A voice rang out, speaking the language of the native humans in the secret realm.
"roar!"
The Kui beast moved and pounced on Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan conjured an ordinary fifth-tier longsword and casually slashed with it.
The sword strike carried the power of space and time, easily slicing through the Kui beast's domain and piercing its head.
The Kui beast let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
"Congratulations on passing the first hurdle. The second hurdle begins."
The scene in the illusion changed, and the monsters in this level were much stronger than those in the first level, having already comprehended some of the power of the laws.
Qi Yuan did not use his full strength, and he passed each level calmly and unhurriedly.
From the outside, people only saw him standing in front of the testing magic stone tablet, the light on the stone tablet constantly flashing and rising layer by layer.
"This is the fourth paragraph!"
"This is the fifth paragraph!"
"Sixth paragraph!"
"Seventh level!"
"Eighth level! Holy crap! This is insane! Where did this incredible guy come from?"
"Qi Yuan, I've never heard of such a person."
"Could it be from another 'territory,' or even another 'realm'?"
"That's the ninth tier!"
"I wonder if he can reach the ninth dan or higher and obtain the legendary medal of honor?"
The crowd in the square was astonished.
Even the middle-aged man in charge of announcing the results widened his eyes and hurriedly sent someone to inform the lord of Suifeng Territory.
In the illusion, the guardian monster of the final level is much stronger than the previous ones, roughly equivalent to the level between the second and third levels of the Tongtian Bridge.
Clang!
A clear, melodious sword cry rang out, and the demonic beast collapsed to the ground.
On the towering test stone tablet, the beam of light shot to the top and broke through the tablet.
The black stone tablet emitted a dazzling array of colors, and a beam of light shot into the sky.
Snapped!
The top of the stone tablet cracked open, and a golden medal flew out and hovered in the air.
The stone tablet was enveloped in a multicolored light.
Gradually, a stripe appeared on the gold medal, and two ancient characters were engraved on both sides.
The characters resembled birds in flight and fish in flight, their forms ever-changing.
The origin of this script is unknown; it is shrouded in mystery.
But anyone who takes a look will understand its meaning: it is the word "glory".
The light faded, and the medal slowly fell into Qi Yuan's hand.
