Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 200: The Reward for Penetrating the Ninth Rank!
Li Xia's eyes lit up, and he first clicked on the special task for that phase.

Just one glance and my eyebrows involuntarily rose; it was indeed quite unique!
It's so special that it skips directly from levels 2 to 9!!

[Special Mission for This Phase: The Road to Glory]

Mission Objective 1: Achieve a top-ten ranking in each arena tier.

Task rewards: Completion progress is accumulated based on ranking.
Mission deadline: Final settlement of the ninth-tier arena

Completion Rewards:
1. Ultimate Honor Badge: Proof of Breakthrough (100%)

2. King's Honor Badge: Proof of Breakthrough (90%)

3. Master Honor Badge: Proof of Breakthrough (80%)

8. Brass Honor Badge: Proof of Breakthrough (30%)

9. Black Iron Honor Badge: Proof of Breakthrough (20%)

10. Faded Honor Badge: Proof of Breakthrough (10%)

[Current progress: 1%]

Li Xia tried tapping the Supreme Destiny Badge, and his eyes were immediately glued to it, unable to look away.

[Ultimate Honor Badge - Proof of Breakthrough]

【Origin: Hall of Light】

【quality:? ? ? 】

[Type: Honor-related consumable item]

[Effect: Using this badge, a ninth-tier apostle will have a 100% chance of breaking through the tier limit and will have a 100% chance of obtaining a ??? level primordial artifact.]

[Description: Only one person can enjoy this supreme honor; it is the reward and glory of light.]

No wonder the Temple of Light allows you to access the information on this badge.

A flatbread! This is a flatbread, a carrot dangled in front of a donkey!
Li Xia licked his lips, 100% certain he would break through to the ninth rank or higher!
And that original object that displays ? ? ?

What a terrifying attribute! He still remembered what Chaotuo had mentioned to him back then.

He must do everything in his power to compete for the 'Seed of Destiny of Life,' which is the item that will help him obtain the inheritance of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts.

According to the calculations of the Transcendent, an apostle who obtains the Seed of Origin Life has a 16.7% probability of breaking through to the ninth rank!
If a probability of only 16.7% is already worth fighting for, what about 100%?
"Your Highness, what is the reward?"

Aowu and Heitan, standing beside him, watched Li Xia remain motionless. This was a rare sight for His Highness, indicating that the reward must be extremely amazing.

I couldn't help but ask curiously.

Li Xia didn't say anything, but directly shared these in the team channel.

In just four or five seconds, a startled cry rang out, quite cultured indeed:
"Alas, what the hell is this???"

This is where Kuroko's advantage as a "country bumpkin" comes into play; Kuroko, who came from the derivative world, has no idea what this concept means.

"Your Highness, shouldn't we risk our lives to get our hands on this?"

Aowu had already come over. He and Li Xia both knew that in order to revive and transcend, they had to reach the ninth level or above.

"It's not that simple—"

Li Xia's head, which had been somewhat feverish from the shock, gradually calmed down. He looked at the current progress of 1%.
I already have a pretty good idea of ​​how to accumulate progress.

"Completion rate is awarded based on ranking in each arena tier. Tenth place earns 1% completion rate, and for each rank improvement, an additional 1% completion rate is awarded."

The first place winner in the arena receives 10% completion.

Li Xia's eyebrows slowly furrowed: "But if you calculate it this way, even if you're number one in every rank, you'll only achieve 80% completion by the ninth rank."

"There must be other ways to achieve completion." Awoo had been dead for two thousand years, and it had no idea what new things these halls had come up with.

As I said before, two thousand years is a very short time for a temple, but a very long time for humankind.

The time has been so long that the appearances reflected in the human subconscious have been completely transformed.

"Moreover, having achieved first place in every arena tier, do you still need this thing to break through to the ninth tier or higher?"

Li Xia found it a bit unbelievable that he was always number one in every arena tier. Wasn't that an invincible position?

Aowu frowned and pondered for a while before slowly saying, "Your Highness, breaking through to the ninth rank doesn't seem to have a direct relationship with strength. Besides, I vaguely remember that primordial artifact. Perhaps the important thing is its attributes."

It's possible that Li Xia will soon stop worrying about things that are too far in the future.

I directly clicked on another reward: [You have obtained the stage reward: Top 10 in the Arena (Tier 2)]

[Competitive Top Ten (Tier 2)]

Type: Badge

Quality: No grade/Special
Special equipment: Does not occupy an equipment slot
Wearing Effect 1: Gain an additional 1000 Hall Points at the end of each derivative world.

Wearing Effect 2: Upon advancing while holding this badge, you will gain an additional 1 Enlightenment Point.

Wearing Effect 3: After advancing while holding this badge, you will gain an additional 5 attribute points.

Wearing effect 4: Fixed increase of 100 health points and fixed increase of 50 mana points (adjustable).

Special effect: The bonuses of wearing the item are enhanced based on the arena ranking, specifically the bonuses from levels 1, 2, 3, and 4.

[Review: This badge represents honor and will bring rewards, provided you hold onto it until you reach the next stage of your journey.]

Li Xia pinched her chin, feeling both that it was difficult to judge and that it was expected.

So it seems the most useful thing about getting this badge is actually the fourth effect?
I don't know what the effect of a fixed increase of 100 health points is, but a fixed increase of mana points is really useful.

In the early stages, based on an attribute ratio of 1:10, the blue bar would normally be around 100-200.

Adding fifty more mana points is definitely not a small amount, and it can be adjusted freely.

After trying it out, Li Xia discovered that the 100 HP bonus could be converted into 50 MP, which is a 2:1 conversion.

If you don't choose to heal, it directly increases your mana by 100 points! That's excellent!

The extra 1000 points for the first effect are simply laughable; they're better than nothing, and their symbolic significance outweighs their practical value.

The second and third tiers are really powerful, but you need to stay in the top ten of the arena until you reach the third tier.

Li Xia suddenly realized what was happening.

If you look at it this way, did I somehow manage to get something for nothing?

With other rewards being negligible, the best approach is to wait until you're promoted before tackling the arena.

Once you get a ranking, go and advance to the next level. After you succeed, you'll be all smiles with the enlightenment points and attribute points you've earned.

However, this method also has a weakness: you only have one chance to climb the rankings.

If they can't break through, it'll become a joke.
"It's alright. Although it's a big pie, there's a good chance we'll get to eat it."

After reviewing the attributes, Teacher Ao promptly offered his comments.

"Meow!"

Black Charcoal didn't quite understand, but raised its paw to indicate that it agreed.

Li Xia hung the badge on his belt and then reopened the arena battle panel with a fierce fighting spirit.

Keep pushing!
[Matching successful]

[Audience size: 94]

[We have found opponents with similar current rankings; awaiting their confirmation!]

[Current opponent ranking: 9th]

A sixty-second countdown appeared, and at the same time, Li Xia suddenly received a message from a stranger in his personal communications.

Starlight (High Council of Arcane): Brother, I am the Ninth. Let's make a deal. Can you give up a purple item and a Time Copper Coin?

Li Xia: Hehe
Starlight (High Council of Arcane): Hey bro, you're pretty good!
[Your opponent has forfeited the match, Executioner, you have risen to ninth place!]

Li Xia: ?
