Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1790 The One Hundred Challenges
"Well, you are a Godly Genius, aren't you? If you can't even finish a hundred challenges from me,you don't deserve to be called one. Why don't you just let me eat your soul? However, I promise togive you a corresponding reward in return if you succeed. Ha-ha!" At this point, Ricardo had alreadyshown his true colors. All along, his real intention was to devour Rocky's soul.
However, Rocky had already anticipated that something like this would happen. He had alreadybecome suspicious the moment Ricardo didn't show up when he spoke to him. Moreover, based onwhat he said, it seemed that he didn't have any intention of letting Rocky leave.
"Fine. What are the contents of these challenges?" Rocky asked, trying to ride along on whatRicardo wanted while devising a way to get out of there.
"Everything under the sun. It covers all sorts of things you can ever imagine; every kind of secretskill, things related to astronomy, geography, and even mysterious arrays used in military tactics.Once you have given a wrong answer, you shall suffer the impact of the spiritual sense attack. Theonly way you can leave is if you get everything right,” Ricardo explained briefly.
"I see. Then, don't waste my time and get it going!" Rocky knew that there was no point in arguingwith Ricardo anymore. He believed that nothing would be too difficult for him if he poured all of hisdetermination to overcome them.
Soon enough, several shadows suddenly appeared in the previously empty palace, displayingvarious moves in the air. They moved rather swiftly and simultaneously. Thus, it was actually difficultto see or remember everything. Then, in the blink of an eye, the shadows dissipated as if they hadnever been there.
"Now, display all the moves that you have just seen!" Ricardo finally issued the first challenge.
'A challenge involving my memory, huh?' Rocky had somehow known that the challenge might besomething like this. Hence, he thought carefully for a while before imitating the movements that theshadows performed earlier.
Fortunately for Rocky, although the shadows displayed several different strokes at the same time, hehad inherited the memory of the royal king of the Shura Race. Therefore, he only needed to take asingle glance at the shadows earlier to know what kind of unique skill they used.
Upon exhibiting the movements perfectly, a lamp suddenly lit up within the palace.
Behind the lamp, Rocky could see a wall, on which a map of the Ethereal Region was inscribed.However, at first glance, Rocky already noticed that it was incomplete. Several areas were missingfrom it.
'So, now, it is to test my knowledge in geography?* Seeing this, Rocky could just shake his headwhile letting out a faint smile. When he led the human army before, he had completely masteredthe map of the Ethereal Region. Hence, he knew the entire region like his own palm.
After taking a closer look, he quickly recognized that the missing part in the map in front of him wasactually an area that had been occupied by the spiritual race more than ten years ago.
Certain about his answer, Rocky used his spiritual power to draw and complete the map on the wall.Upon finishing the last stroke, another lamp lit up. This time, he saw a vertical painting with a line ofpoems written on it. However, the words used in the poem were written in the language of theShura Race. Although most of the letters being used by the Shura Race were a bit similar to that ofthe humans, some of them were very complicated and had been used since ancient times.
'He wants me to decipher and read this poem, right?" Rocky hesitated for a while and starteddeciphering the letters written.
Fortunately, since Rocky inherited the memory of the Shura Race's king, he was already quitefamiliar with the ancient characters used by the Shura Race. Not long after, he was able tocompletely read the line of the poem.
However, when he read out the words, he did not replace a lamp that signaled the next challenge.Thus, it meant that he still had something missing to complete this one.
'Do I need to write it in the human language?
After thinking for a while, Rocky approached the vertical painting and condensed his spiritual poweron his fingertips. Then, he used it to write the poem on the painting.
As soon as Rocky's spiritual power touched the painting, the words he wished to write immediatelyshowed up.
'I was right!" After confirming that this was what the challenge demanded from him, he began towrite everything in the human language. However, he quickly noticed that with every stroke he did,a lot of his spiritual power was consumed.
But it was not really an issue for Rocky since his spiritual power was strong and abundant enough toovercome this. Otherwise, most of his spiritual power would have been consumed after justfinishing the line.
Then, with great effort, Rocky finally finished the translation.
“Damn it. The task is just quite simple but it is a hellish challenge! I feel like being tortured! And I stillneed to do more than ninety of these!" Rocky could not help but sigh, knowing that the hard partswere yet to come.
At this time, a lamp went on, and Rocky went in its direction to have a look.
Behind the lamp was a table, and it seemed that an unfinished chess game was placed on top of it."Hmm. I need to finish and win this game.’ Before touching anything, Rocky stared at thechessboard for a while, carefully studying what would be the right move. Since he also had lots ofexperience in playing chess against a great master back in the Scarlet Heaven Jade, he easily beatthe game.
Immediately after, another lamp was turned on.
After quite some time, Rocky had smoothly finished thirty challenges in one go.
However, after the thirtieth challenge, Rocky instantly realized that the difficulty had increaseddramatically. The challenges involved writing poems, as well as dealing with military arrays.
On the thirty-fifth challenge for example, Rocky was required to write a poem that suited formourning the heroic soldiers that died on the battlefield.
Then, on the thirty-eighth challenge, Rocky was tasked to break through a specific military array.After some time, Rocky had managed to complete the first fifty challenges, meaning he was alreadyhalfway done.
Meanwhile, on the top of a steep mountain in the Holy-Evil World, several figures were discussing infront of a mirror on an open-air round platform. The image on the mirror actually showed Rocky,who was still taking the test inside the Avici Palace.
"Hmm. I am actually impressed with the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief. I did not expect that hecould complete all fifty challenges in just two hours. Moreover, he just accidentally entered the AviciPalace. It is surprising that he could do this well without any preparation beforehand.”
"Well, it seems that he really is a genius in both literature and martial arts! That is something quiteuncommon!"
"Finally, we found someone reliable among the nine Goldy Geniuses chosen by Mikayla this time.Perhaps, he really is the chosen one with whom the Holy-Evil World can put its hope!"
"It is too early to say that. I know our situation is bad, and we are really struggling to survive in thecurrent Holy-Evil World. But I don't think it is wise to completely put our hopes and trust on a GodlyGenius that we barely know!"
"I know what you are feeling. However, it is still good to always have hope! That is why we aresupervising his progress. Later on, we will know if he really is capable enough.”
These figures turned out to be the only remaining survivors in the Holy-Evil World, and they hadbeen watching everything that was happening on the whole continent all this time. Right now, theywere very familiar with Rocky since he had exhibited such a marvelous performance recently thatquickly gained their attention. Furthermore, he was able to enter the Holy-Evil World on his ownthrough the Holy Heaven Palace. Hence, most of them had been looking at Rocky with a brand newperspective.
Because of this, they deliberately arranged that Rocky would enter Avici Palace to further test hispotentials.
Then, at this moment, a beautiful figure descended gracefully from the sky. Upon seeing her, thefigures watching in front of the mirror were caught off guard. Before they could put away the mirror,the beautiful figure already noticed what they were doing. It was actually Mikayla, whom Rocky hadspoken to before.
"What do you think you are doing?" The moment Mikayla saw the image reflected in the mirror, sheimmediately turned towards them and questioned the deities.
On the other hand, the deities could just look at each other in silence as if they were guilty of doingsomething wrong.
"How did he enter the Avici Palace? Did you guys do it?" Mikayla asked again.
"Well, didn't this guy open the entrance to the Holy-Evil World? Because of that, we discussed andthought that he is indeed very promising. So, we wanted to make sure that he is the one we arelooking for..." a deity with a red crown and a token in his hand mustered his courage andresponded.
