Chapter 251: The Hardest Summons Test

“Roar... Roar...”

Two dragons of providence circled around in mid-air in the Temple of Providence, each emitting a streak of golden light from its mouth.

The light hit the Extraordinary Rank-7 Soul of Civilization dropped by the Eagle Man leader and the semi-transparent Snow Spear dropped by the Yuan East King that had significantly reduced the providence of the entire temple respectively.

Yes, the result of the voting of the players and heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount was the Snow Spear dropped by the Yuan East King.

The reason was quite straightforward.

Out of the five offerings, the Sonic Bow was dropped by the Yuan emperor, who was the most capable man of his side, and the weapon had the most special quality.

Such an object didn’t fit the background of the Water Margin and the Han Dynasty.

And offerings that were ranked too low wouldn’t be considered either.

After all, this was the first time that the Twin Dragon Mount was going to summon a Transcendent hero, and they wanted to use an offering as efficiently as possible.

Therefore, in the end, they chose the Snow Spear of the Yuan East King, which was ranked second.

“We’re using a spear for the sacrificial ritual, so are we going to summon a hero who uses a spear? Can it be Lin Chong?”

Outside the Temple of Providence, a new player with some potential asked.

“Not necessarily.

“Strictly speaking, the initial form of an offering isn’t directly related to the weapon of the hero, because after they’re summoned, the heroes can transform the offerings with the power of providence.

“Although... A high-quality spear must be very attractive to heroes who use spears, I suppose.”

Those in the Temple of Providence weren’t the only ones who were concerned about the ritual.

The square outside the Temple of Providence had been rearranged so that there was enough room for hundreds of people.

Apart from some natives, some special new players, such as those who could withstand Yang Zhi’s fighting will for a little while, were allowed to get a closer look as well.

The Twin Dragon Mount had stopped summoning heroes after Ji Ye and the others entered the Battlefield of Providence.

Because of that, the new players hadn’t participated in any sacrificial rituals for heroes yet.

Of course, they didn’t think much of the common sacrificial rituals.

After all, their formal settlements were able to last until the later stage of the Ten-Species Competition, and they would have seen their fair share of sacrificial rituals already.

But this one was very different from the ones of their former settlements. The offering was Perfect, and the hero summoned would definitely be someone very famous.

Therefore, despite the various thoughts going on in their heads, the new players all held their breaths and kept their unblinking gaze on the Temple of Providence.

Hum!

Just like before, the Snow Spear used as an offering had a reaction after it was hit by the golden light of providence.

Splash!

Snowflakes suddenly drifted down from the ceiling of the Temple of Providence, and the temperature dropped 10 degrees.

As it snowed, the scene changed drastically.

The whiteness covered everything, turning the place into a snowing battlefield.

At one end of the icy land, the Yuan East King in the silver-white armor held the Snow Spear and rode a pure white horse. He held his back ramrod straight, and a helmet covered his entire face, showing his eyes only.

Around him, thousands of elite Yuan soldiers all wearing white armor and holding various weapons were all prepared for battle. Although it wasn’t a special force consisting of Extraordinary Rank-5 Shadow Assassins, the number alone was quite overwhelming.

“This challenge... Isn’t it a bit over the top?”

Mister Bug’s eyes widened.

“Is this a test for a Perfect hero?”

Outside the Twin Dragon Mount, the new players’ jaws slackened in astonishment as well.

They had indeed seen the summoning of heroes in their previous settlements, but most of the time, the heroes summoned were Excellent, Refined, or even Common ones.

Before today, none of them had ever seen the summoning of a Perfect hero before.

Were all Perfect heroes going to face a challenge like this?

If that was the case, how much more powerful would a Perfect hero have to be?

Since the Twin Dragon Mount had half of the Perfect heroes, how much more powerful they were compared to their previous settlements?

“Well... Chief Lu, if you were to face the challenge, would you have confidence in winning?”

“If they’re a group of leaderless soldiers, I may dare to try it, but these are all elite soldiers of the Yuan East King. The East King is also with them, so I am really not sure...” said Lu Junyi.

The new players with the potential were greatly shocked because of certain misunderstandings.

Players of the Twin Dragon Mount soon returned to themselves.

A battlefield challenge of this scale wasn’t completely strange to veteran players of the Twin Dragon Mount.

Because when Lu Junyi, the Jade Qilin, arrived, he had also faced the attack of hundreds of Forest Monsters, but they were only ordinary monsters.

Because the Forest Monster King took all the Forest Monster wine, common Forest Monsters weren’t very intelligent. They didn’t work together in battles and would only charge with their sheer force.

More importantly, the core of Lu Junyi’s challenge was a purple wood that had no actual combat ability.

This challenge, on the other hand, apart from thousands of elite soldiers, there was also the Yuan East King, whose capability remained unclear because he had been transformed by a special offering.

Although Transcendent heroes were very powerful, when their Transcendent power was sealed, would any of them be able to complete this challenge?

“Did the Soul of Civilization show any reaction at all?”

Now that the battlefield created by the power of the offering had opened, the Soul of Civilization that had also been hit by the golden light showed no change at all, despite the Twin Dragon Mount players’ expectation.

“I suppose that it’s simply too difficult, and even a Perfect Transcendent hero doesn’t have much confidence,” one of the more advanced players said.

“Is there really no reaction at all?”

Ji Ye stared at the Soul of Civilization suspended in mid-air and looked disappointed.

Actually, he could guess that such a special offering wasn’t to be used at this stage.

Because summoning a Transcendent hero could be extremely difficult. Normally, a settlement should reach Extraordinary Rank-9 before they could dominate an offering with absolute certainty.

Moreover, they should also use a Soul of Civilization of Extraordinary Rank-8 or -9 to ensure their success.

Although the Twin Dragon Mount had reached Extraordinary Rank-9, they had only used a Soul of Civilization of Extraordinary Rank-7. The hero participating in the challenge couldn’t even reach that level, so how could one kill the Yuan East King, who was of Extraordinary Rank-7 at least and protected by 1000 elite soldiers?

This was several times more difficult than Lu Junyi’s challenge.

According to Lu Zhishen and the others, once a hero failed their summoning challenge, they couldn’t be summoned by any settlement for a very long time.

More importantly, every sacrificial ritual consumed the power of providence of the settlement. Although a failed summons wouldn’t make the offering or the Soul of Civilization disappear, it would still cost the power of providence of the entire Human race.

Because of that, most heroes would only choose to answer the summons when they were at least 70% sure.

“I guess I’ve rushed it a bit.”

Seeing that the Soul of Civilization remained unchanged, Ji Ye shook his head.

As a matter of fact, he was trying his luck when he agreed to carry out the sacrificial ritual now.

Because if a hero chose to be summoned even with such difficulty, this hero had to be the best of them all.

There was even the possibility of a Legendary hero choosing to arrive in advance.

That way, the Twin Dragon Mount would gain some more advantage.

But what had happened proved that...

Hum!

Just when the players and heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount thought that this sacrificial ritual was going to fail, in the snowy battlefield, the Soul of Civilization suddenly changed. A streak of resplendent white light filled the space, and all the snow and ice seemed dim in comparison.

The white light soon gathered on the battlefield and turned into a hero wearing silver armor and holding a silver dragon spear. He rode a white horse with a mane that reminded one of a lion.

During this process, there was no poem that suggested who the person was.

Or perhaps, even this hero who had chosen to face the challenge wasn’t sure that they would be successful either.

Pew!

When the white light dissipated, the hero took his physical form, except for his face.

Snow fell silently on his white cape, and immediately, it was torn open, as if it had been cut by a sharp object.

The snowflakes were also part of the other side’s power.

The other side had all the advantages.

With the Yuan East King having all the luck, how was this unknown hero going to pass the hardest test the Twin Dragon Mount had yet to see?
