Chapter 13: The Book of Sacrifice

In the dim underground storage vault, a huge amount of universal elements formed a green stream of light that was constantly hovering.

Aize held the Black Furnace Demon Sword in its active state, with his eyes closed, bathing in the red light released by the All-Effect Crystal, looking particularly weird.

The universal element that formed a green light stream slowly wandered around Aize among the waves of red light and slowly injected into his body.

During this process, Aize could clearly feel that his strength was increasing.

His physical abilities were increasing, and the star power in his body was also growing stronger, causing Aize to emanate a strong aura that he had never had before.

And around him, there are still a lot of green universal ores, and it can be predicted that the process of becoming stronger will continue.

If nothing unexpected happens...

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Aize frowned slightly and opened his eyes quickly.

"Stop for a moment, Black Stove."

He stopped the Black Furnace Demon Sword and made it retract the brilliance of the All-Effect Crystal.

The green light stream suddenly disappeared, allowing Wanyingsu to blend into the surrounding space like air.

Aize then raised his hand and clenched it a few times.

"My strength is increasing too fast. If I continue like this, I won't be able to control my body and the power of the stars."

That's it.

The rapid rise in power caused Aize's control over his star power and even his body to drop rapidly. If he continued to increase it blindly, he might lose control of his body and star power.

"You have to adapt to it, and then you can continue to improve."

Realizing this, Aize was not too attached to the feeling of rapidly increasing strength and decisively gave up on further improvement.

"Zheng!"

The engine of the Black Furnace Demon Sword was suddenly activated, forming a pure white sword body.

Just like last time, Aize injected star power into the Black Furnace Demon Sword, causing pitch-black lines to float out from around the pure white sword body and circle all the way until they sank into the red All-Effect Crystal. Only then was the true power of the demon sword released, turning the pure white sword body into extreme black.

Feeling the consumption of star power, a faint smile appeared on Aize's lips.

"As for me now, even if I increase the output of the Black Furnace Demon Sword to the maximum, it can only last for dozens of seconds."

If it were him as before, even if he increased the output power of the Black Furnace Demon Sword to the maximum, it would only last for a few attacks.

Being able to maintain it for dozens of seconds now is already a big improvement.

"However, dozens of seconds is still too short. There is no need to maintain such a strong power all the time."

After thinking about it, Aize reduced the injection of star power and lowered the output of the Black Furnace Demon Sword.

In an instant, the pitch-black blade of the Black Furnace Demon Sword faded at a speed visible to the naked eye until it turned purple-black and then stopped.

"Isn't this the power of Black Furnace in its normal state?"

Looking at the Black Furnace Demon Sword whose blade had turned purple-black, Aize muttered to himself.

After the protagonist of the original novel obtained the Black Furnace Demon Sword, the Black Furnace Demon Sword also had the same power and appearance. The only difference was that he could not control the size of the Black Furnace Demon Sword, which resulted in him being able to only wield the Black Furnace Demon Sword in the form of a greatsword in the early stages, and his use was greatly limited.

Now, although Aize has adjusted the output of the Black Furnace Demon Sword to the same specifications, he is able to fully control this magic sword, so the Black Furnace Demon Sword is still the size of a normal sword and has not turned into a greatsword.

"Although it's only at a normal output level, not everyone can stop the Black Furnace in this state."

The Black Furnace Demon Sword is said to be able to burn through everything. If it unleashes its true power, almost nothing will be able to withstand a single blow from it.

Even at this normal output level, ordinary Huang-style weapons will be broken if they come into contact with her. Only pure Star Huang-style weapons of the same level can block her attack.

"That's enough."

Aize nodded in satisfaction.

"If it is the Black Furnace in this state, with my current star power, I am afraid it can be used continuously for more than an hour."

This time is very long, which is enough to support Aze to use Blackforge Demon Sword normally.

"With my current abilities, I should be able to be included in the famous sacrificial book, right?"

Aize thought so.

In Asterisk, all academies have a ranking system. Although the detailed rules are different, each academy has a ranking list that clearly distinguishes the strength of students.

The ranking list of Xingdaoguan Academy is called the Famous Sacrifice Book. There are a total of seventy-two places on the list. The seventy-two people listed are the top seventy-two students in Xingdaoguan Academy. The top twelve are also called the first page twelve because they are recorded on the first page of the Famous Sacrifice Book.

This ranking can only be won through duels. As long as one can defeat a student in the ranking, he or she can seize the opponent's ranking, be listed in the famous sacrificial book, and even become one of the twelve people on the first page.

Originally, Aize's ability in the Xingdaoguan Academy was just average. Not to mention being ranked among the 72nd and joining the ranks of the famous priests, he couldn't even rank among ordinary students.

After all, there are already hundreds of students in the senior department of Xingdaoguan Academy. Add in the middle and university departments, and the number of students is even greater. Even if Aize has average-level abilities among them, he would still be ranked outside the top 100, or even in the top 200 or 300.

And now, considering only physical ability and the strength of star power, Aize feels that he has been able to rank among the top 72 and enter the ranks of famous sacrificial books.

"If the power of the Black Furnace is added, then even if it is the Twelve of the First Page, I may not be unable to challenge them, right?"

Thinking of this, Aize became eager to try it out.

He wanted to test his current strength.

"Speaking of which, this month's official ranking battle is coming up, right?"

Aize remembered this incident.

In Asterisk, anyone can have a fair duel, even on campus.

But under normal circumstances, a duel requires the consent of both parties to be effective. If one party disagrees, the duel will not take place.

In view of this, generally speaking, students who have managed to be listed in the famous sacrificial book and have a ranking will not easily agree to duel with others.

Because if they lose, their ranking will be taken away.

In the Xingdao Academy, if you can be among the famous priests, you will have many privileges, especially the twelve people in the first page. They have great status and privileges, and can even apply to borrow pure Xinghuang-style weapons at any time. This application will be approved at the fastest speed, unlike ordinary students, who have strict review.

Therefore, those students within the ranking cherish their ranking very much and will not easily agree to duel with others.

However, in order to prevent students from passively avoiding battles in order to protect their rankings once they are promoted, the academy organizes a ranking battle every month.

In this ranking battle held once a month, people with lower rankings can designate a challenge to those ranked above them, and the other party cannot refuse the challenge.

This kind of ranking battle is what Aize calls the formal ranking battle.

"Let me see……"

Aize raised his hand, opened the space window projected from the mobile phone in his pocket, and browsed the information of the official ranking battle on it.

He also quickly confirmed that this month's official ranking battle would be held in three days.

One day before the official ranking battle begins, all students can register online and specify the person they want to challenge.

"Isn't this a coincidence?"

Aize immediately smiled.

In three days, he will be able to adapt to his current strength and should be able to catch up with the official ranking battle.

"So... who are you going to challenge?"

Aize opened the book of famous sacrifices and browsed the list on it.

Challenges cannot be named without limit.

According to the rules, students participating in the official ranking battle can be divided into three levels.

The first level is the twelve people on the first page.

The second level is students listed in the ranking list of the famous sacrificial book.

The third level is not included in the ranking of famous sacrificial books.

In the official ranking battle, students can only nominate an opponent who is one level higher than themselves to challenge.

In other words, Aize can now only nominate students who are ranked below the twelve people on the first page to challenge, because he is currently outside the ranking and is at the third level.

That being the case...

"Just let it go!"

Aize turned his gaze to the first name on the second page of the sacrificial book.

Immediately, he stretched out his hand and clicked the challenge...
