Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 461 Ancient Beast, Suan
"In a Star Lord-level kingdom."

“These bureaucratic families have a standard for evaluating the voters they support.”

Chen Xin paused for a moment, then continued.

"This assessment is free."

"But if you fail, the aristocratic families will record it, which will affect your subsequent resource support."

"If placed within the demon kingdom's system..."

“A single failed assessment record may also affect official promotion and have a certain impact.”

"so."

"If you're not absolutely certain, it's better not to participate."

"The disposable resources of temporary voters are already abundant, to a degree that ordinary people cannot even imagine."

"In this situation, there's absolutely no need to take the risk."

Finished saying this.

Several temporary voters nodded in agreement.

Qi Ming also shut his mouth and said no more.

Instead, he looked towards the platform, lost in thought.

While talking.

The assessment not far away is nearing its end.

Apart from one person who barely passed the test and was ranked after Jiang Jian.

All other candidates were eliminated, and no new temporary voters were selected.

This continued until the last person finished their assessment and left the platform.

The stone figure put away the detection array and strode over.

"Of this batch of 100,000 people, eight were temporary voters."

The stone figure muttered to itself, its expression showing some disappointment.

"Hopefully the next batch will be larger."

soon.

It stopped and looked at Jiang Jian and the others.

"Congratulations on being accepted as temporary voters of the Demon Kingdom!"

The stone man smiled and took the lead in clapping.

None of these temporary voters spoke.

Everyone was clapping along.

"Now, you have one choice."

The stone man lowered his hand, his tone becoming slightly more forceful.

"There is one more hurdle in the assessment process."

"If you pass the test, you will become an official voter in the Demon Kingdom!"

"Even if you fail, there will be no punishment."

The stone figure smiled as it surveyed Jiang Jian and the others.

Participation is entirely voluntary.

"If you want to participate, go through the left portal."

"If you do not wish to participate, go to the right gate, pay respects to the Star Lord statue, and wait to be chosen as a family."

The stone man finished speaking.

Chen Xin stepped forward first, without saying a word, and walked directly into the right-hand door.

The other temporary voters did the same, all moving to the right.

Qi Ming slowly walked out, looked at Jiang Jian who remained motionless, and couldn't help but ask, "Su, are you going to participate in the assessment?"

Jiang Jian paused for a moment, glanced at the door on the left, and said, "Give it a try."

Qi Ming was not surprised by this, and simply nodded in response: "With your natural talent and comprehension, you are indeed qualified to go and take on the challenge. Then I wish you success."

"Thank you."

Jiang nodded.

Qi Ming said no more and followed behind the others.

Enter the portal on the right and leave the platform.

at this time.

The platform is completely empty.

The stone figure looked at Jiang Jian and clicked its tongue in admiration.

"As expected of a level 7 root bone."

“I knew you would participate in the formal voter assessment.”

It walked to the doorway, gestured with its hand, and said, "Please come in."

Jiang nodded, bowed slightly to it, and walked straight into the doorway.

Click!

The light and shadow shattered.

The immense pulling force came, but quickly dissipated without a trace.

When Jiang Jian opened her eyes again.

The scene before us has changed dramatically!
This is a super arena!

The audience stands, hundreds of feet high, surrounded them from all sides.

Beneath his feet lay a massive, incredibly solid stone floor.

"Someone's here again."

A cold voice came from ahead.

Jiang frowned slightly and looked up.

A magnificent ancient beast, five zhang tall.

It was flapping its wings as it landed.

Its appearance resembles a tiger and a rhinoceros.

On its back are a pair of giant wings.

These wings are extremely powerful.

With just a slight stretch, it can block out the sky and the sun.

"My name is Suan."

The ancient beast lowered its head, looking down at the tiny humans at its feet, and spewed out blazing energy from its nostrils.

"Official citizens of the Demon Kingdom are required to govern a region, which carries a great responsibility."

"His starting official rank was that of a prefectural pacification commissioner."

"therefore."

"The main objective of the assessment is actual combat effectiveness."

At this point, Suan stared down at Jiang Jian, who was smaller than his toes.

He asked again.

"During the assessment period."

"I will fight you without holding back."

"I could cripple you or cripple you, it's all possible."

"If you can hold on for 5 minutes, you pass the test."

Are you sure you want to participate in the assessment?

The Suan spread its wings, casting a huge shadow on the ground.

Jiang Jian raised his eyes, looking up at the ancient beast that was as tall as a mountain, and said without hesitation, "Confirmed."

next moment.

The Suan raised its head and let out a long roar!
Roar!
An invisible sound wave surged out and crashed violently into the surrounding stands!
"In this case."

"The assessment begins!"

The Suan stopped roaring and flapped its wings.

The enormous body vanished instantly!
They sensed the power of the ancient beast.

Jiang Jian dared not underestimate him. His inner energy surged, and karmic fire ignited in his pupils as he carefully scanned the surrounding scenery.

"Where did that guy go?"

After sensing the surroundings, Jiang Jian found nothing, and his heart immediately tightened!
The whereabouts of the Suan.

Even the karmic fire couldn't detect it!

This is clear proof.

This Suan's cultivation level is far superior to mine!

With its terrifying speed.

If it appears suddenly and launches a ruthless sneak attack.

I might be forced to reveal some of my trump cards!
Just as Jiang Jian was preparing for battle.

Suddenly, the Suan flapped its wings and appeared not far away.

It landed heavily, its face blank with disbelief.

"News has just come from the sixth young master of the Wu family."

"Let me pass on a message: I suggest you don't take the assessment yet."

Suan coughed lightly and continued, "If you don't clear the level, this failure will be recorded, which will affect your future development."

Seeing the strange look on Jiang's face, he said, "But the assessment has already begun, so how can it be stopped halfway through?"

Suan casually folded its wings and replied, "That's true, but the bureaucratic families of the demon kingdom do indeed have that power."

Then it added another sentence.

"As long as it's before the end of the assessment."

"It's not too late."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian was still pondering.

Suan sighed and simply laid his cards on the table: "I'm only one step away from the Divine Platform Realm."

"Once it makes a move, it will unleash its full power."

"With your current cultivation level, it will be difficult for you to last more than 5 minutes."

The true Suan is the ancient beast that guards the royal realm.

Its true cultivation level is unfathomable.

The beast before them was merely one of the Suan's avatars.

despite this.

The oppressive force it exudes.

It still far surpasses other beings at the same level.

"Continue the assessment."

Jiang met him expressionlessly and spoke calmly.

He is very clear.

I don't have much time to waste.

If it were under normal circumstances...

After entering the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom.

We can proceed gradually and surely.

just.

Every minute and every second of my life is precious.

A high starting point as a registered voter will be of great benefit to one's progress over the next three years!

No matter what, we must not give up easily.

at the same time.

In the center of the giant ship's deck, below the bird-headed, human-bodied statue.

"Sixth Young Master, Su has chosen to continue the assessment!"

Commander Wu's face was grim as he reported in a low voice.

The Sixth Young Master smiled, leaned against the back of the throne, raised the jade ruyi, and tapped Commander Wu on the head.

"Don't make a fuss."

"This is normal."

"Such prodigies rarely cherish their lives."

"We will not let any opportunity slip by."

"His choice was exactly what I expected."

While talking.

The sixth young master looked up at the holographic screen.

Let's watch a good show together.

"The other three official voters are all from the Jienen Shrine."

"Able to last 5 minutes against the Suan."

"It relies on profound cultivation accumulated over time."

"And this person's bone age is only 20 years old."

The Sixth Young Master narrowed his eyes.

"Go and prepare the resource list."

"Regardless of whether he passes the test, the Wu family must recruit him first."
