129: Then give it a try.

Lin Yan glanced at Donggong Li, who was waiting calmly within the projection, and shifted his gaze to the light screen on the side.

The first thing that caught his eye was a list of information about himself.

[Name]: Lin Yan

[guide]: First Seat of the Saint-Grade Domain Enforcers, Donggong Li

Lin Yan's expression paused slightly, and he calmly stole another glance at the smiling Donggong Li.

First Seat of the Saint-Grade Domain Enforcers.

Although he didn't yet understand what this Rank meant, it was clear from the words "First Seat" that it represented an extremely high status.

He didn't think too much about it.

After all, he lacked a concrete understanding.

His gaze continued downward.

[Authority Level]: Basic · Domain-level Prodigy

[Authority Benefits]: Domain Level Guard Squad, Domain Level Warship, purchasing rights for Domain Level cultivation resources (50% off), monthly Domain Level cultivation resource benefits (two King Rank Common-grade Spirit Medicines, ten free opportunities to borrow and comprehend Martial Skills)

[Contribution Points]: 1,000 (Basic Rank) (Domain Level joining benefit)

[Note]: Contribution Points are the most important purchasing power for every member of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Company; Contribution Points from each stage can be saved and upgraded.

For example: The current 1,000 (Basic Rank) Contribution Points can buy two King Rank Common-grade Spirit Medicines after the discount; if saved and upgraded, they become 1,000 (King Rank) Contribution Points, which can then buy twenty King Rank Common-grade Spirit Medicines after the discount. Please use them wisely.

There was a lot of information.

But for Lin Yan, who was long accustomed to viewing System panels, it was all very easy to understand.

Especially the note regarding Contribution Points.

It was clearly designed to prevent numerical inflation, making it look very logical.

He reached out to close his personal information page and tapped on the prominent word "Rating" next to it.

He would look into the specific benefit details and basic cultivation knowledge later.

The light screen rippled.

[Prodigy Lin Yan, welcome to the rating page.]

[1. Start Rating Trial.]

[2. Understand Rating Rules.]

Lin Yan clicked directly on option two.

[Rating Rules]

Prodigy Lin Yan, you are currently a Basic · Domain-level Prodigy. You still have 181 years and 4 months before your rating time limit requirement.

As long as you Breakthrough to the King Rank within this timeframe, you may choose to start the rating trial at any time before reaching the fourth grade of cultivation.

We will determine your Prodigy Rank for the King Rank stage based on your trial results. Outstanding performers will also receive contribution point rewards.

[Reference Results]

Star Level: Leapfrog one grade

Star River Rank: Leapfrog two grades

Domain Level: Leapfrog three grades

Everyone has only two opportunities to start a rating trial. If both attempts fail, you will be demoted. Please use them wisely.

Simple, clear, and concise.

Lin Yan's eyes flickered.

He understood why Donggong Li had told him to look at the rating after a brief overview.

Because even without visiting the mall, he could judge from the basic information that his 1,000 (Basic Rank) Contribution Points didn't seem very useful.

He was afraid he would squander them as soon as he got them.

Lin Yan shifted his gaze from the light screen back to the projection.

At the same time.

Donggong Li's voice came through.

"You only need to take a quick look at that time limit."

"Every Domain-level Prodigy is bound to never be restricted by this time limit at any stage."

"That's meant for the Star River, and especially the Star Level."

"So, do you understand what your top priority is now?"

Lin Yan nodded slightly.

"I understand."

"Upgrade as soon as possible, and only spend the Contribution Points after their purchasing power reaches the King Rank level."

Donggong Li smiled.

"It's good to be smart."

"Well then, I'll close the projection for now."

"I'll give some instructions to the branch over there, and your guard squad will arrive shortly."

"Next, you can go into detail about your benefits and various basic information."

"Contact me when you decide to start the rating trial."

Lin Yan's eyes shifted.

"Is this rating very troublesome?"

Donggong Li, who was about to close the projection, paused.

"Not troublesome."

"Just a single battle."

"Just like the hidden stage of the kings road back then."

"Do you want to start it now?"

Lin Yan nodded.

"Yes."

Donggong Li's starry eyes flickered.

"Are you sure?"

"Let me remind you."

"The record for our race's Domain Level to rise from Basic to King Rank is forty years and eleven months."

"This record has been maintained for several Martial Arts Eras, which is millions of years, without being broken."

Lin Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Forty years and eleven months?"

"Millions of years?"

Seeing the expression flash across his face, a smile curled at the corner of Donggong Li's mouth.

"Regardless, you have two chances."

"You can give it a try."

Lin Yan nodded again.

"Alright."

"Let's give it a try."

After saying that.

He turned his gaze back to the light screen.

"I just need to select start?"

Donggong Li answered.

"Yes."

"Your ring already has the function to enter the Battle Net."

"Once you're in, I'll be able to see it as your guide."

Lin Yan reached out and tapped the [Start Rating Trial Option] on the light screen.

"Okay."

Suddenly.

A ripple spread.

A stream of light flowed from the storage ring on Lin Yan's hand to his entire body.

Donggong Li watched Lin Yan as he slowly closed his eyes and smiled.

Every Domain-level Prodigy has their own powerful pride.

Wasn't he the same back then?

Only after trying will one understand the difficulties and be able to settle down and continue working hard to accumulate experience until they have absolute certainty.

This is also why the Martial Arts Company provides two chances.

His thoughts settled.

He seemed to have received some information on his end as well, as he slightly turned his head to look at another slowly emerging projection.

[Saint-Grade Domain Enforcer Donggong Li, your guided subject has started the rating trial. It will soon be synchronized to the headquarters.]

...Starry Sky Martial Arts Company Headquarters.

The numerous towering buildings, which had only just quieted down, suddenly erupted in commotion again.

Figures radiating powerful auras slowly opened their eyes, simultaneously looking at the information forcibly popped up by their rings, expressions of surprise flashing across their faces.

"Domain-level Prodigy, rating trial."

"Lin Yan?"

"Why is this name so unfamiliar?"

"Hmm?"

Many figures' expressions shifted, their faces changing slightly.

"His guide is actually Donggong Li!"

They immediately thought of something and simultaneously looked toward the tallest building.

Could it be that the Supreme Meeting just now was held for this little fellow named Lin Yan?

"It's highly likely."

"After all, that Rank truly requires the review of the Supreme Officials."

The thought settled.

"A newly emerged Domain-level Prodigy of our race?"

"And the guide is that freak Donggong Li."

"Then we must go in and have a look."

The conference hall of the tallest building.

The dozens of figures about to leave paused at the same time.

"Oh?"

"Is this little fellow named Lin Yan already at the King Rank?"

"At this time, he probably hasn't understood anything in detail yet."

"It must be that brat Donggong Li."

"Like master, like apprentice."

"Hehe..."

"Then let's see."

"After all, it hasn't been this lively in many years."

Their gazes simultaneously turned toward the screen where the image appeared.

A Youth in Black stood quietly in the center of the arena.
