Chapter 1546: Advancing To The Next Stage 2
Novoa Valentine's eyes locked on the man as he returned to the north wall. She classified him as the most dangerous man in the city right now. She finally understood why her grandfather dreaded the Spirit Contractor. Not only was the class scary, but his bloodline was also one of a kind.
Even though the fight was far in the center of the city, and she was at the north gate. She kept an eye on the battle. While she did not get every single detail of the battle. The aura and the impact reached where she was. It was a fearful and yet short battle with how the man overpowered the Administrator.
'That's not a fight, but a one-sided fight,' That was what it felt like when she looked from afar. Even when the administrator's reinforcement arrived, they did not interfere. She understood why the reinforcement did not interfere. No one wanted to take the risk of fighting against Tang Shaoyang.
The man returned to the north wall as if nothing happened. He returned to his human form and stood alone on an entire section of the wall. No one dared to get closer to him, even though she did not have the courage to get closer.
She clicked her tongue in annoyance and muttered in a low voice, "What's the point of this trial anyway? I will never get first place with that monster in our batch."
The city defense continued with the same composition. This was the second horde with a Unique Rank Calamity. It was the same composition as the previous horde with another Wrath Angel. During the battle between Tang Shaoyang and the administrator, no calamity horde came to the north gate.
Everyone had their attention on one man, Tang Shaoyang. What followed after was a one-man show. The man transformed and fought all Rank 8 Calamity and above. Novoa could not see the battle between Tang Shaoyang and the Unique Rank. She was busy with the horde in front of her.
By the time they wiped the horde, what remained in the frontline was an ice land. The ground froze, and many Rank 8 Calamities were hung on many ice spikes that grew up from the ground.
There she watched Tang Shaoyang collecting the calamity's corpses. She understood if it was a useful calamity where part of their bodies could be used as materials. But many calamities were useless, and that man collected those corpses as well. That was what she noticed. A minute after the horde was over, the man cleaned up the corpses.
The city defense continued for two days, and the same thing was repeated for two days. Tang Shaoyang would take the lead, killing the strong calamities and collecting their bodies. In between the calamity horde wave, the man would leave his post and go to the other three gates.
After a few times, she found out the man was collecting the corpses of the calamities that his summons had killed on the other side. The supposed tense city defense became dull and boring. The reason was simple because, in her mind, she knew the horde would not be able to reach the city with Tang Shaoyang in the front.
*** ***
"This trial is so underwhelming..." Tang Shaoyang shared his thoughts with his spirit. It had been two days since the city defense. The first day was the most exciting day because of his fight against the administrators. The following two days were tedious.
He started the trial cautiously that he started from the lowest rank calamity. But now he found out that even the highest rank calamity was not a challenge for him. He beat them, although it took him more time than the other calamities.
Even though it was tedious, the harvest from the city defense was big. He managed to advance all his spirits to Low Archaic Spirit. In fact, he had an excess of materials in his inventory. Enough materials to advance a few Low Archaic Spirit to Intermediate Archaic Spirit.
Once more, he had to thank Amos for presenting the materials. Without the city defense, he would not be able to advance all his spirit to Low Archaic Spirit Ranks. Most of the harvest came from his enemy. Thanks to Oby, he learned Avyn's elemental power. Thanks to Amos, he advanced all spirits to the Archaic Spirit.
'But these administrators are also disappointing...' That was Vandir's words, 'I expected them to give us a little bit more of a challenge but...' The disappointment in his tone was obvious.
Tang Shaoyang had to agree with Vandir. He was a little bit disappointed as well, and once more, he failed to see his limit. He did not know his level of power, and if he did not know what he lacked then he would not be able to improve.
"By the way, where's the next wave?" He had been waiting for ten minutes for the calamity horde, but the horde never came again. Not long after that, he heard notifications in his head.
[Congratulations! You have succeeded in defending the city from the vile calamities!]
[You have completed the City Defense!]
[The first stage of the trial is finished!]
[Congratulations! You have passed to the second stage of the Trial of God!]
[Congratulations! You finished the trial in the first place! You will be rewarded for your contribution to liberating this abandoned world!]
After that, there was a gift box notification. That was the reward of the first place for the first stage. He tapped the gift box to check his reward, and he hoped the reward was not a disappointment.
[You have been chosen as a Candidate for Administrator Class!]
[You obtained a God Rank Weapon of your choice!]
[You obtained a Primal Bloodline, Cosmos Serpent Bloodline!]
[Your faction obtained a small territory on The God Realm!]
Ira told him that the reward was big, and it was indeed a big reward in the first place. A candidate to get an Administrator Class. That was what he wanted for the next class. A God Rank Weapon would be his first God Rank Equipment. He had no use for the bloodline, but it must be a good bloodline. He could use it to reward his subordinates.
The last one was a bit underwhelming. He did not know how important a territory was on the God Realm, and he felt like it was not necessary to have a territory on the God Realm.
The first stage was over, so what was next? He waited for the following announcement. But there was no announcement as he was teleported to a room. It was a luxurious room. The table and chairs were made of gold, the lamp was a diamond lamp, and all accessories in the room were made of precious gems.
It was so luxurious that he did not like the room at all. He liked modern minimalist or classic minimalist more than this luxurious room. As he thought about that, the room changed. It became a classic minimalist style, and he liked the room a lot more than the previous one.
He sat on the comfy couch, "So what now?" There was no more announcement for the next stage. He was sitting there, waiting.
"Let's choose my reward first then."
The System gave him all types of weapons, from a dagger, and a bow, to a staff. Despite the variety, there are only two choices for him. It was either the battle axe he always used since the start of the Game, or the sword to support his Heavenly Sword technique. He was in a dilemma because this would be his first God Rank equipment.
He sat there, closing his eyes and considering his choice. The best would be the sword because he had the technique to complement the sword. But he liked his battle axe more than the sword. Usually, he would choose the logical choice, but not this time. He followed his heart, the battle axe. After a few minutes of consideration, he chose the battle axe.
As soon as he made his choice, the weapon appeared in front of him. The battle axe was all black, from the shaft to the blade. It was two and a half meters long, with a big blade at the end. The axe head was like a full moon with a tiny separation between the two blades and the shaft in the middle.
He took the battle axe for a testing grip. It was perfect in his hand.

One weapon granted four skills, and the skills sounded ominous. He did not know if he should test the skill or not. But he certainly liked the passive effect from the weapon. Even though the effect was not what he needed because it was rare for him to have a prolonged fight. The last time he had a long battle was against the God Rank inside the Dimensional Tower. Most of the fight, he would win the fight once he hit his opponent once or twice. So the healing reduction and regeneration reduction were not necessary for him.
