278: Heritage belongs!

Daylight quickly faded.

Night fell, swallowing the last trace of light in the World Lord World.

The hot night wind swept across the entire plain, bringing with it a mournful wail.

Around the plain, unknown insects shrieked loudly, only to vent the sweltering heat of the night.

At this moment, at the brightly lit castle gates,

adventurers clad in alloy armor and bearing various weapons leaned on each other, gathering around the bald man, panting heavily.

At this moment, every adventurer showed undisguised dishevelment.

After twelve hours of fierce fighting, they had endured one unprecedented battle after another, their Origin Power and Spiritual power completely depleted.

Now, they were at the point of exhaustion.

Although these adventurers were all physically and mentally exhausted, their faces all showed expressions of immense excitement and hope.

Because next, it would be time for rankings and exchanging treasures.

“I wonder who among the more than twenty thousand of us will be in the top hundred?”

“That goes without saying, it’ll definitely be those Universe Rank bigshots from North Dragon City, they’re too fierce!”

“But even if they’re strong, there are only fifty-four of them, and there are still more than forty spots left.”

“…”

Some adventurers with remaining energy sat slumped at the castle entrance, whispering to each other.

Chen Fan was noncommittal about this.

Since the battle ended, he had been leaning against a massive pillar, resting with his eyes closed… In the past twelve hours, he had personally intervened fewer than ten times, with most of the kills relying on his Yin-Yang Domain.

Wherever he went, he cleared out the black-armored warriors like a whirlwind, gaining a massive amount of points.

“This trial is only the most basic trial. If you can’t even last twelve hours, how will you endure thousands of years of fighting in the Outside Territory Battlefield in the future?”

Many adventurers: “…”

“After this battle, not a few of you hundred-in-one Astral Rank martial artists will successfully advance to Universe Rank. I still hope you will persevere in the future.”

“…”

The bald man’s words were no longer as sharp as they were initially, but rather held a touch of concern.

One must know that the Outside Territory Battlefield was the truly terrifying meat grinder.

There, even Universe Rank and Domain Lord powerhouses were treated as cannon fodder.

World Lords and Undying Spiritual Gods were everywhere, and Undying often fell in major battles.

Next came the most crucial moment.

“First place, Universe Rank Chen Fan from North Dragon City, 160,252 points.”

“Second place, Universe Rank Hong from North Dragon City, 75,463 points.”

“Third place, Universe Rank Ma Liang from North Dragon City, 73,564 points.”

… “Fifty-fourth place, Universe Rank Angers from North Dragon City, 35,682 points.”

“Fifty-fifth place, Yu Gui from North Dragon City, 9,397 points.”

… “Ninety-ninth place, Astral Rank peak adventurer Nodas, 6,352 points.”

“Hundredth place, Astral Rank eighth-level adventurer Judy, 5,964 points.”

Without exception, Chen Fan’s Universe Rank team of fifty-four people directly took the top fifty-four spots.

“The top hundred adventurers, follow me into the castle. The others, according to your points, go to the side fort to exchange for cosmic crystals and corresponding treasures.”

Rumble!!!

As soon as his voice fell, the castle gate slowly opened, and then the bald man led these hundred adventurers into the magnificent fortress of Realm Lord Ming Sa.

As for the others, they went to the side forts on both sides to exchange points for items… Inside Mingsa Castle, in the resplendent castle hall.

Chen Fan and his group stood silently in the middle of the hall.

“Lord Ming Luo, when can we receive our rewards?” a Three Axe Mountain Astral Rank powerhouse asked.

“Little ones, wait a moment, your rewards will be given to you immediately.”

The bald man’s voice echoed, deafening.

The next moment, a white light curtain erupted from the bald man, directly enveloping Chen Fan and the others.

“You little ones have all performed very well. Is there anyone among you who wishes to become a disciple of my master, Realm Lord Ming Sa?”

As the voice came, Chen Fan and his group exchanged glances, looking in the direction of the sound.

At this time, the bald man with three heads and six arms also revealed his true form—he was a big bald man as burly as Thunder God!

Then, the bald intelligent life’s gaze swept over Chen Fan, Thunder God, Hong, Ma Liang… finally resting on Wang Teng.

In reality, Ming Luo most desired Chen Fan to be the inheritor.

Simply because the combat power this young man displayed against the black-armored puppets completely exceeded his expectations.

Just by casually walking through the army of black-armored warriors, he caused them immense losses.

One man against a thousand armies!

Even so, Ming Luo still suspected that Chen Fan had not unleashed his full strength.

Relying solely on his domain, which was about to reach the ninth level, he swept through numerous black-armored warriors like a storm.

Chen Fan’s strength was evident.

However, from Chen Fan’s gaze, Ming Luo had already sensed his resolve.

If this young man didn’t appreciate it, then he would choose someone else!

Then, Ming Luo looked at Wang Teng.

“Young man, I see you have extraordinary bones. Do you have any thoughts of accepting the inheritance of my master, Realm Lord Ming Sa?”

The moment the bald man’s voice sounded, Wang Teng nodded heavily: “I agree!”

Ming Luo’s brow furrowed slightly: “So straightforward!?”

What this intelligent life didn’t know was.

Chen Fan and his group had already fully agreed upon all of this during their gathering in the Virtual Universe.

No matter who received the inheritance and secret techniques of Realm Lord Ming Sa, they must gladly accept it!

“Very good, very good, then I choose you!”

“Let me first send off the others, then we can talk properly.”

Ming Luo smiled, then with a wave of his hand, he removed the light curtain.

“You hundred adventurers are all one-in-ten-thousand elite geniuses. Now I will not treat you unfairly. These are the items rewarded based on your points. You can check them after you leave the World Lord World!”

After speaking, the bald man’s mind moved, and streaks of light shot out from the depths of the hall, finally hovering in front of everyone.

“Wow!”

A martial artist exclaimed, reaching out directly to embrace the item: “Busy with cultivation, farewell!”

The adventurers who received their treasures left without the slightest hesitation.

As adventurers left one by one,

the hall quickly had only Chen Fan and the fifty-odd Universe Rank adventurers from Earth remaining.

Even Yu Gui, the first commander of North Dragon City, had already left.

“Little ones, today I bestow these treasures upon you, but in reality, I have one request!”

“Lord Ming Luo, please speak!” Wang Teng said respectfully.

“Once your cultivation is complete, you just need to avenge my master, Mingsa!”

Then, the bald strong man recounted the past events, making Chen Fan and his group look solemn.

It turned out that all of this was due to the enmity Realm Lord Ming Sa had forged in the Outside Territory Battlefield.

But what they hadn’t expected was that Undying powerhouses could be so shameless, coming all the way to Realm Lord Ming Sa’s home from such a distance.

Chen Fan felt a bit indignant in his heart.

“Senior, please rest assured, as long as you properly guide our Wang Teng to become a powerhouse, the matter of revenge will be just around the corner!”

After a while, Chen Fan composed himself.

He looked at the big bald man Ming Luo, a look of undeniable solemnity on his face.

“You rascal!!” The big bald man looked at Chen Fan, momentarily at a loss for words.

“Senior?”

“Don’t call me Senior, just call me ‘Lord Ming’!” the bald man reminded.

“Lord Ming, may I ask if our ranking rewards are still available? After all, we a bunch of people went through numerous bloody battles and finally broke through the encirclement. Even if there’s no merit, there’s hard work.” Wang Teng asked, looking pitiful.

“You little rascal, stop pretending.”

The bald man looked at Wang Teng with a smile, “I find you very agreeable, and I don’t want to waste any more time.”

“Look!”

After speaking, Lord Ming waved his hand, and immediately, streams of energy gathered in front of him, forming a huge screen.

And on the screen, the number of remaining treasures was clearly listed.

“It turns out that what was given to the other forty-odd adventurers were just fifth-tier weapons that came out, most of them are still left.”

Wang Teng quickly finished browsing these items, looked at Ming Luo, and said gratefully: “Thank you, Lord Ming!!”

“You’re welcome, these are all left for you, but most of them are for you, they are only allowed to take a tiny bit of it.”

At this moment, a stingy aura suddenly emanated from the bald man.

Chen Fan and his group were dumbfounded.

“If you want more, then there’s none left!”

Saying this, the bald man’s gaze swept over everyone.

Finally, Ming Luo and Chen Fan met each other’s eyes.

Both of them revealed a knowing smile, understanding each other perfectly.

This time’s World Lord World probationary mercenary assessment, after all, brought abundant harvest to their Earth.

Even describing it as overflowing would not be an exaggeration!
