Douluo Jueshi: Martial Soul Brain Waves, Telekinesis

Chapter 249: A Relatively 'Simple' Assessment
"Inheritor: Lin Qinghan, Inheritance Level: Max Level Twelve".

Just as Lin Qinghan was getting excited, a majestic voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Then, one by one, the twelve gem-encrusted stone pillars that had been quiet around the area lit up.

Moreover, the color of the light kept changing as the stone pillar lit up.

It starts with purple, and the color changes every three pillars that light up.

It started as purple, then turned black when the third pillar lit up, then red when the sixth pillar lit up, and finally a brilliant gold when the ninth pillar lit up.

After going through seven colors and nine colors, it finally turned into an indescribable, multicolored white.

"Congratulations, you are the 120,000th successor. In the billions of years since I passed down my divine position, you are the first successor whose aptitude has reached the maximum level. I am a divine thought left behind by the previous master of the divine position, used to find successors."

Although the voice was majestic, it was devoid of any emotion, yet to Lin Qinghan it sounded like heavenly music.

He actually obtained the inheritance of this god of unknown level!
But the information that the voice then revealed startled him.

What does that mean? He's the 120,000th inheritor? What about the previous inheritors? Did they all fail to inherit?
"The successor need not worry too much. Based on your current level, you are already more than capable of inheriting this divine position. Although the previous successors were all very talented, none of them had such outrageous combat power as you."

Seemingly sensing Lin Qinghan's concerns, the voice spoke up to explain to Lin Qinghan.

"What became of the previous failed inheritors of divine power?"

Lin Qinghan asked the question that worried him the most. Although he was very confident in himself, the voice also said that 119,999 inheritors had failed before.

In other words, the difficulty of passing on this divine position is absolutely hellish; otherwise, it wouldn't have failed to be passed on to so many successors.

"The method of passing on this divine position is mainly through a real illusion. Even if you fail, it will not endanger your life. It will just erase all memories of the inheritance from you."

"Then..." Lin Qinghan wanted to ask something, but the voice interrupted him directly, creating a light screen in front of him that only he could see.

"The first test of the gods is for the inheritor to enter the illusion and defeat ten opponents of the same level as themselves."

Rewards: Mental Strength increased by 30%, Divine Affinity increased by 10%, and for each additional opponent of the same level killed, Divine Affinity and Mental Strength increased by 1%.

"?"

After hearing the requirements of the divine test, Lin Qinghan slowly typed a question mark.

Judging from this, it means he's being asked to fight a level 87 Soul Douluo, someone comparable to a first-level god?
Lin Qinghan wasn't bragging, but if it really was an 87th-level Soul Douluo, he wouldn't be flustered even if there were tens of thousands of them.

After all, even if he were to merely unleash his pressure now, it would be enough to crush a large number of Limit Douluos, let alone Soul Douluos, who are worlds apart from Limit Douluos.

However, Lin Qinghan also understood why this divine position, whose name was unknown but whose level seemed ridiculously high, had not been passed down despite having so many inheritors.

After all, he hadn't undergone any divine inheritance or enhancement yet, and the first divine trial required the inheritor to defeat ten enemies of equal level; the trials to come would undoubtedly be even more extreme. But the reward included an option to increase mental strength, and it seemed to have no upper limit, which instantly excited Lin Qinghan.

Immediately after this voice rang out, the first level of the twelve-story pagoda that was originally in front of Lin Qinghan began to light up, and then Lin Qinghan felt a strange sense of summoning.

It was as if he could enter the first level of this pagoda at any time he wanted.

'Enter!'

Lin Qinghan tried silently repeating the phrase in his mind, and then the world spun around him. Soon he found himself in a place that looked like a primeval forest.

"The divine trial begins. This place is a real illusion; even death here will not be real. Please, inheritor, do your utmost."

After Lin Qinghan regained his senses, a voice in his mind explained the rules of this place to him.

Besides what we just mentioned, even if you die in this real illusion, as long as you complete the divine test, it will be considered a success.

However, death can be very emotionally taxing for those who carry on the tradition, so even if it is not a real death, it should be avoided as much as possible.

"The divine test has begun. After completing the divine test, the inheritor may decide at any time whether to return."

As Lin Qinghan pondered, the voice in his mind announced the start of the Divine Trial. Then, Lin Qinghan felt the auras of ten high-level Soul Douluos approaching him.

"There aren't even any restrictions? That makes sense. After all, they are opponents of the same 'level' as us. Facing ten of them at the same time would be really difficult for an average genius if there were additional restrictions."

Lin Qinghan was instantly delighted. With a flash of lightning in his hand, the ten high-level Soul Douluos who had appeared were cleaved into ashes by Lin Qinghan from a distance before they even saw his face.

But right after he killed those ten Soul Douluos, they turned into ten gray streams of light and actively merged into Lin Qinghan's body.

Instantly, Lin Qinghan felt a surge of energy enter his body, increasing his total soul power and even slightly enhancing his physical strength.

Moreover, since Lin Qinghan's soul and body have now merged, his physical strength has been enhanced, and his mental strength has also been enhanced as a result.

"Are there rewards not only for the Divine Exam, but also for defeating opponents?"

Lin Qinghan's interest grew even higher as he looked at the ten figures that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The ten newly appeared Soul Douluos were very different from the previous ones. They were clearly wearing more protective gear, and they were even in a state of Martial Soul possession from the start, and they came directly in front of him.

But none of this mattered to Lin Qinghan. With a flash of lightning in his hand, the ten figures turned into ashes and then into streams of light that entered Lin Qinghan's body.

Now, Lin Qinghan can see that the screen in front of him displays the words "100% completion rate of the first divine test".

This means that Lin Qinghan has completed the first divine test and can withdraw at any time.
