Chapter 262: Chapter 262 Accepting the Inheritance

"Of course, according to the scores you’ve earned during these tests, different rewards will be distributed based on your points."

"Ma Yuan, with a score of seventy, receives the Third Grade Reward!"

"Lin Chen, with a score of ninety-nine, receives the First Grade Reward!"

The girl in white glanced at Ma Yuan and Lin Chen, announcing their scores and respective rewards, and when her gaze fell upon Lin Chen, there was an obvious look of admiration.

"What? This guy actually scored ninety-nine?"

"Why? What he did was not much different from what I did. Why does he get a First Grade Reward, while I get a Third Grade Reward? How could our scores possibly differ by so much?"

Upon hearing the words of the girl in white, Ma Yuan immediately spoke up with dissatisfaction.

At this moment, his mind was filled with anger; he couldn’t understand how Lin Chen, a piece of trash at the Melding Earth Realm First Layer, could possibly surpass him.

He had always been a genius of the Black Cloud Sect, arrogantly looking down on others from a young age. Now, seeing Lin Chen outperform him was naturally hard for him to accept. Especially since Lin Chen’s cultivation, in his eyes, was merely that of an existence he could easily crush to death.

"Hmph, you dare question my assessment?"

The expression of the girl in white suddenly turned stern, as she cast an icy glance at Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan immediately felt as if he were locked in by an overwhelming force, knowing that with just a thought from her, he could end up dead right on the spot.

"As an Inheritor who has passed the assessment, you have the right to question."

"Lin Chen has killed twenty batches of Yuan Soldier Puppets in the Descending Heaven Great Hall, while you only killed eleven batches."

"In the Gravity Channel, Lin Chen moved with ease, not only passing it calmly by himself but also carrying his four female mentors through. In contrast, you barely made it through with the help of a magic treasure, without giving a thought to the lives of your fellow sect members. In the end, seven of them were crushed and died in the Gravity Channel."

"Lin Chen’s physique is stronger than yours, and his temperament far exceeds yours. I did not score you less even though you are a Demon Cultivator."

"Finally, concerning the Soul Shock Chains, you’ve barely achieved Minor Achievement in the First Layer of the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, whereas Lin Chen has successfully mastered all three layers and reached Great Success."

The girl in white listed the performances of the two, causing a shock in Ma Yuan’s heart as he listened.

He had seen the previous performances with his own eyes, and although he wanted to be indignant, Lin Chen’s performance had far surpassed his own.

But what shocked him most was that Lin Chen had learned all three layers of the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique, and that too, to Great Success.

He had also cultivated the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique and knew just how difficult it was to practice this spiritual soul tempering technique. Lin Chen’s talent was freakishly terrifying.

This child belonged to the Jade Cauldron Sect; if Lin Chen were allowed to grow, he would inevitably become a great enemy of their Black Cloud Sect in the future.

In his heart, Ma Yuan was already contemplating how to kill Lin Chen secretly, but he knew that he absolutely couldn’t make a move here.

"Alright then, Third Grade it is. What does the Third Grade Reward consist of?"

Having accepted reality, Ma Yuan immediately asked the girl in white.

With a grand wave of her hand, the girl in white caused five golden characters to appear and hover midair.

"The master, known as Descension, was an ancient being of great power; the inheritance he left behind is his own five great abilities."

"The first is a Qi Cultivation Technique, the second is a cultivation technique for Spiritual Soul Tempering, and the third are techniques for Alchemy and Artifact Refining."

"The Third Grade Reward allows you to select one of these. Which reward would you like?"

The girl in white asked Ma Yuan, casting an inquiring look.

"The Qi Cultivation Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuan chose without hesitation. To him, directly enhancing his own strength was the most important.

As for improving the divine soul, and alchemy or artifact refining, although alchemists and artifact refiners are highly respected in the outside world, not all martial artists are qualified to become alchemists and artifact refiners.

Take the performance on the iron chains, for example. Lin Chen’s performance was much stronger than that of Ma Yuan. Lin Chen was particularly suited to become an alchemist and artifact refiner, having directly achieved Great Success in all three layers of the Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique.

"What about him, then? What is his First Grade Reward?"

Ma Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked the girl in white.

He had a bad premonition.

"The First Grade Reward is to receive all three inheritances. Do you wish to rest a bit, or would you like to accept the inheritance now?"

"Upon accepting the inheritance, I will send you to the Descending Heaven Hall’s Inheritance Space, where no one will disturb you."

Declared the girl in white, looking at them both.

"Directly accept the inheritance!"

Ma Yuan said eagerly, his eyes looking at Lin Chen with a mix of jealousy and envy, but that was someone else’s talent to gain, and his envy was futile.

All he could think about was quickly receiving the inheritance, certain his strength would greatly increase, and then, as soon as he left this place, he’d kill Lin Chen at the first opportunity.

"If there will be no interruptions, then I shall also accept the inheritance," said Lin Chen.

No sooner had he spoken, the girl in white raised her hand, and with a wave, both of them disappeared from the spot.

Afterward, the girl in white’s gaze shifted to the exterior of the great hall. She soared into the air and, with a sweep of her hand, the Soul Shock Chain on the iron chains disappeared.

"The Cave Mansion Inheritor has been decided; all assessments are hereby cancelled. There’s no need for anyone else to come here!"

The words of the girl in white, permeating through space, reached everyone’s ears.

The martial artists on the iron chains felt a profound sense of regret upon hearing this.

Zhao Yijing and Xu Lianyu, across the shore, gave a silent, rueful smile. They had been ready to set off the moment they saw Lin Chen reach the other side, but now they had no chance.

However, they had no regrets. Even if they had attempted the iron chains, they might not have been able to obtain the inheritance.

At this moment, with a flurry of Spiritual Light before his eyes, Lin Chen found himself in a roomy space that, while not huge, was similar to that of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, but compared to its space, it was as different as a glowworm to the bright moon—it was really too small.

In this space, three ancient-looking scrolls floated in midair, and it didn’t take much to guess they represented the inheritances.

Lin Chen was also curious to discover what level the inheritance from the ancient ruins would be.

With a gesture, Lin Chen took hold of the first scroll, which immediately transformed into a stream of light and entered his mind.
