The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Song Gua guessed everything Zhang Beihai said.

He then added some further details.

Upon learning that even if one joined the Yingtian Division, one would have to make great contributions to receive the divine stele as a reward, Song Gua immediately made his decision.

I will not participate in this candidate competition.

Pointless.

Even if he wins, he can't possibly risk his life on the moon for this corrupt federation; without making contributions, he won't receive the divine monument.

What are you going in for? To collect your salary? I, the bandit leader, am not short of money.

I participated, but didn't win; it was a wasted trip.

Why participate then?

No matter how you look at it, I'm not participating.

"You all understand the situation, right?"

"Understood."

"Let's begin then."

Everyone took a Mystic Soul Pill.

Although Song Gua did not want to participate, he could not say it openly, so he had to use a more natural approach.

"Alright, the effects of the elixir will take effect immediately upon ingestion. Now, prepare to receive the information from the Illusionary Divine Stele!"

Zhang Beihai took out a silver, life-sized safe from his backpack.

Then he took out another key.

Upon opening it, what was inside was a Divine Stele of Illusion.

The moment the divine tablet appeared, the seven people in the office had a strange idea.

I want to see it!

I want to see it!

I really want to see it!

So I watched it.

Once the gaze is locked onto the Illusionary Divine Stele, a flood of information begins to pour into the mind.

"ah!!!"

Ye Chen was the first to kneel.

He clutched his head, in great pain, but his eyes remained fixed on it.

This is normal.

He had the worst equipment, didn't even have a second job advancement, and had the lowest spirit attribute.

Song Gua glanced at Tong Zhan.

Tong Zhan bared his teeth. He bared his teeth.

Tong Zhan frowned. He frowned.

He was imitating Tong Zhan's ability to withstand pressure.

Since Song Gua was actually completely unaffected, if he wanted to demonstrate what it would be like to bear the divine stele after taking the Xuanpo Pill, he could only imitate others.

Song Gua noticed that although Zhang Beihai and Yue Sheng were also staring at the divine stele with furrowed brows, neither of them seemed to be in pain.

It is evident that they are all those who have transcended the mortal realm, and their levels are not low.

"what!"

The second person to kneel was Tong Zhan.

The Song hexagram follows a pattern.

"ah!!"

I knelt down too.

After the two knelt down, Ye Chen stood up.

"I want to... become... a transcendent being... I want to... become... the pride of my hometown!"

Tong Zhan was clearly taken aback.

No, you're dressed in rags, how come you're cooler than me?

Doesn't that make me look like I'm all brawn and no brains?

The Song hexagram is not surprising.

It must be the Dark Dagger helping Ye Chen.

Spirit, soul, consciousness—these are things that the Dark Artifacts excel at.

Longtan and Goubi are still persevering.

Tong Zhan started rolling around on the ground.

Song Gua also rolled around.

The main point is: if Tong Zhan can't do it, I can't do it either; if Tong Zhan can do it, I still can't do it.

Very reasonable.

One minute later, Tong Zhan couldn't stand up for even a second, his whole body convulsing.

The Song hexagram follows a pattern.

Two minutes later, Tong Zhan began foaming at the mouth.

Song Gua paused for a moment.

This is getting too difficult, and I didn't prepare any props beforehand.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and intelligent.

He captured one of Song Gua's clones from headquarters, whose current apparent level was the same.

"Beat him up! Don't hit his face, hit his stomach, beat him until he foams at the mouth!"

The captured clone: ​​"?"

When the clone started foaming at the mouth, he held it in, waiting for Song Gua to switch places.

To outsiders, even Song Gua began to foam at the mouth.

Seeing Song Gua in such a state, Yue Sheng strode over, picked him and Tong Zhan up, and took them outside the office.

Once the office door was closed, Tong Zhan felt much better and began to breathe deeply.

"Okay, okay, much better..."

Song Gua also greeted Yue Sheng with a fist and palm salute.

"Thank you so much, Captain Yue..."

Yue Sheng sighed.

"There's only one Xuanpo Pill per person, so you two are basically eliminated."

Tong Zhan waved his hand.

"If becoming a Transcendent means having to see all this nonsense every day, I'd rather not do it. Anyway, it won't directly increase my combat power; it's all indirect. I might as well level up a few more times."

Yue Sheng shook his head.

"If you can't get into Yingtian Division, do you think the Tong family will still invest resources in you like they do now?"

Tong Zhan seemed to understand this as well, and lowered his head in disappointment.

Song Gua now understands.

No wonder the forces behind them only distributed experience books to them after the Rookie King Challenge.

It turns out they were afraid of wasting food.

Yue Sheng looked at Song Gua.

"I didn't expect you wouldn't be able to hold on either."

Song Gua also imitated Tong Zhan, making a disappointed expression.

"My profession doesn't excel in mental matters; without the Xuanpo Pill, I probably would have gone mad by now."

Yue Sheng's eyes flickered.

He actually knew what Song Gua's profession was.

Upon closer reflection, it's true. Even if a Bonded Being completes their second job advancement, without borrowing power, their spirit isn't an advantage.

"That's true. Longtan comes from the Long clan, which has a profound heritage. It's possible that the Long clan gave him a spiritual artifact. Gou Bi is a sage and has a talent for mental control, so he must have a strong grasp on his own mind."

Tong Zhan asked, puzzled.

"So what's the deal with this Ye Chen?"

Yue Sheng looked back.

"he?"

Yue Sheng said nothing more, ignoring the issue, and went to Song Gua's side to speak.

There will be other opportunities in the future.

"Um?"

"The opportunity to become a transcendent being."

"According to Chief of Staff Zhang, the simplest way to become a Transcendent is to pass through the Illusionary Realm, but that means you have to withstand the pressure of the Divine Stele, and you must be at least three times over."

"Don't you have any confidence in your third job advancement?"

"No, but after I advance to the third level, will the Federation give me a divine tablet? I don't know how to find it."

"Actually, the Federation's search for the Illusionary Divine Stele was also a matter of luck, and many of them were acquired from the private sector."

Some of these sacred monuments even drift in space, appearing without any pattern or trace.

Fortunately, as long as someone enters their attractive range, they will be noticed, and it's not too difficult to find those that are actually wandering outside.

As for whether the Federation will give you a divine monument.

Since there is a selection process for Transcendent Beings targeting young people, there is naturally also a selection process targeting those with mature combat abilities.

"But there won't be any Mystic Soul Pills for you then; you'll have to rely entirely on your own perseverance."

Song Gua nodded.

Suddenly.

He noticed something amiss.

How come you haven't forgotten the information you just received from the divine stele?

A key feature of the Illusionary Divine Stele is that it must be used as a portable dictionary.

Because the information obtained from it will be quickly forgotten and cannot be recorded.

As for the divine stele used in the candidate competition, there is actually more than one; the Federation seems to have a way to replicate the divine stele.

However, judging from the tone of Zhang Beihai when he mentioned this point, it seems that the conditions for copying are very demanding and cannot be easily accomplished.

Besides, what's the use of copying the Divine Stele? There's only one corresponding illusion. Once it's cleared, the Divine Stele becomes useless.

Song Gua closed his eyes and began to introspect.

The large blue orb and three smaller golden orbs reappeared before my eyes.

Song Gua saw that the content that he should have forgotten was being continuously injected into the blue sphere of light in the form of words.

"You can do that?"

The reason he didn't forget is that the light spot memorized the contents of the divine stele!

Does everyone with sunspots have this problem?

The Song hexagram is uncertain.

But at least I remembered it!

Unfortunately, I only had time to look at it for a short time, so my notes are incomplete.
