I just covet their strength

Chapter 85: Flawless Face
[You have received the appreciation and praise of the God "Holy Tree of Glory"]

[Your erudition, wisdom, and courage are recognized by the gods]

[Such achievements can be used as a step for promotion]

Westhead felt as if some kind of "boundary" or "lock" in his body had been broken, as if he had felt a sense of relief after thirty years of abstinence.

An incomparable sense of liberation is transmitted to every nerve ending, bringing a warm and numb enjoyment amidst the pain.

This is completely different from the blood sacrifice ritual, which simply infuses tremendous magic power into the body, allowing Westhead to jump higher, run faster, be stronger, and have sharper senses. It is a simple numerical filling.

The promotion of rank is the sublimation of the life level, the two cannot be compared at all.

That is not just a difference of a few numbers, but a leap in essence and performance.

Apart from anything else, every promotion will unlock more expertise slots, and if you have a special bloodline, you can even awaken new talents.

The whiteboard attributes are really far behind.

[Your rank has been promoted from "Elite" to "Eminent"]

[You accept the blessing from the "Holy Tree of Glory"]

[Your rank has been promoted from "Eminent" to "Exemplary"]

[You have gained new talents from the "Bloodline of the Bright Forest"]

As expected, it is the direct blood of the Pure Holy Spirit after all. Let me see what talent I have awakened.

【Flawless Face】

[The Bright Holy Spirit desires beauty, embraces beauty, and bestows pure beauty on her offspring, wishing them to love what they love and admire what they admire; she also wishes that Qinghui’s offspring will flourish and prosper.]

[Charm is greatly improved, your sexual attraction to the opposite sex increases significantly, and the probability of giving birth to better quality offspring increases]

What on earth am I expecting!
“Hahahaha”

Westhead suddenly smiled with relief, laughing at his own naivety and stupidity.

I was wrong. It was wrong of me to have expectations without authorization. I should have known that Qinghui bloodline was pure shock wave.

If the only reward for his promotion was this useless talent, Westhead would have been furious, but he had already gotten Reshia's talent for free, so he was not angry at all.

No matter what your own talents are, just think of them as a speed-up strategy, it's better than nothing.

After being promoted, Westhead looked around and saw that there was no doubt that Resia and Yulda had both been promoted. The Silver-haired Dragon Girl, like himself, had directly reached the [Exemplar] level.

This is not an exaggeration. With Leixia's blood talent, if it is not suppressed, she will automatically become a [Paragon] level when she reaches adulthood, because being able to walk through the "Path of Withering and Flourishing" of the [Holy Tree of Glory] is already an incredible [achievement].

As for Yuerda, she has been stuck at the level of [Eminence] for some time, and is just waiting for [Merit] to be promoted to [Model]. Now is the time for her to make a breakthrough!
Many other trial-takers were also promoted on the spot, but most of them were promoted from [Eminent] to [Exemplary].

As for why those trial participants who were originally at the [Paragon] level did not advance to the [Hero] level?
Then Westhead would have to ask himself: their team had used up all the resources and credits of the entire dungeon, not leaving a single drop for others, and they had also eliminated more than half of their colleagues.

It's really ugly!

Westhead slowly stood up, calmly facing the subtle gazes cast at him, and returned them one by one. The secret trial is based on strength, so how can there be any difference in means?
The only thing that made Westhead feel sorry was that.
“It’s still a bit of a waste.”

"The Favor and Appreciation of God" is a very high-quality [Merit], which is enough to be used to promote to the rank of [Hero]. But now it is used to promote to a mere [Paragon].

However, this kind of waste is a small matter. The key is to be promoted from a low position first. With two T0 development-level talents in hand, are you afraid of being stuck in the rank?

It's a bit too unconfident.

Those who were qualified to receive the appreciation of the [Holy Tree of Glory] received blessings to varying degrees, and after receiving the rewards, the trial participants left the square one after another.

Normally, at this time, the successful test takers would hold their heads high and accept the cheers from their family, relatives and friends.

But there won’t be so many cheers in this secret trial, and all the glory will be concentrated on the three-person team of Westhead.

Many young nobles who had accomplished nothing left the square in disgrace, and Andrei even covered his face and fled after being stunned for a while.

Brington brought a group of war knights to Prince Alagon, knelt down together, and choked up:
"Your Highness, I am extremely sorry. Please punish me!"

Instead of completing the task assigned by their master, they were severely humiliated by the enemy. Their honor was trampled upon, and Prince Aligon was also disgraced.

I don't want to live anymore.

Just as Blington and other war knights were anxiously waiting for the prince's thunderous wrath, they only heard a sigh:
"Come on, this isn't your fault."

Aligon is not a mad dog that only knows how to bark in anger. He did lose his composure when facing his enemies, but that was when he was in an absolutely advantageous position.

After watching the secret realm projection for a few days, Aligon's mentality also underwent some subtle changes.

Although the [Holy Tree of Supreme Glory] will not cut out every second for people to see, it will at least show the cause and effect.

As a bystander, one can clearly see how courageous and determined the Reshia team is, especially the final gamble of killing the legendary dragon, which is an amazing miracle.

"Lord Qinghui is too cruel. I can only blame myself for my misfortune if I am paired with him."

Aligon hesitated again and again, and finally could not praise Leshia's performance, so he had to blame everything on Westhead.

At least praising a Branch of Prosperity is much better than praising an enemy. Even Aligon knew clearly that Leixia was actually innocent.

But if he doesn't hate the living, can he still hate the dead?
Hatred is so unreasonable.

"By the way, compared to your failure, the achievements of Lord Qinghui and his men in the trial may attract the attention of the God Ancestor..."

Aligon frowned, and before he finished speaking, he saw the shadow of the holy tree once again glowing with dazzling light, with large patches of shining branches extending downwards, and at the same time.
All noise was forbidden.

Everyone's spirit was inexplicably shocked and their scalp was tingling.

An indescribable melody sounded in everyone's consciousness, and their minds fell into a brief period of chaos.

In an instant, in their minds, whether it was the Holy Tree Palace, the people around them, or the world itself... everything seemed to have lost its sense of existence.

Because there is an absolute "sense of existence" that transcends all of this.
