My troops evolve infinitely

Not bad.

The remaining special item, the Boundary Breaking Stone...

According to the description, it has the function of opening and breaking barriers, and Mu Yuan immediately thought of that place.

……

That afternoon, Mu Yuan was in charge of the territory, while the two generals Wang Gu and Duo Lai followed the Hurricane Falcon to the ruins of an ancient building in the Dark Forest.

Well, after Undead created his bone wing skill, his mobility has undoubtedly been greatly improved, and he can finally go deep into the forest without having to push forward.

Hula~

A chilly wind blew, and a bone-chilling coldness swept across the ground, and a slight frost formed on the wreckage of buildings.

The dead bone folded up its bone wings and walked cautiously to the gate of the barrier leading to the underground.

Through this light curtain, it could vaguely see the situation inside - the space inside the barrier was not large, only the size of a basketball court, with dead bones and debris scattered around, and in the center was a stone platform with a broken blade stuck on it.

"The important thing the mysterious strong man mentioned is probably this broken blade. But, what kind of treasure could this broken blade be?"

Mu Yuan pondered.

After observation, Wang Gu took out the Boundary-Breaking Stone.

It held the strange stone, injected energy into it, and smashed it hard at the light curtain in front of it!

Boom-!

Violent ripples spread out.

Even with Dolai's full-strength attack, he couldn't even create a crack in the light curtain. Now, cracks began to spread, and it shattered in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, Mu Yuan heard a rare game prompt sound in his ears.

"Ding!"

"A special item, 'Hero's Certificate', has been discovered. Do you want to use it?"

Chapter 70 Trials and Levels

Hero's Proof!!!

Mu Yuan has heard this word many times, in the bragging of some old players or in forum news.

"The appearance of a Hero's Certificate varies. It could be a sword, a bow, a suit of armor, a pendant, or a piece of jade. But no matter what form this certificate takes, its function is the same—to upgrade a soldier to a hero."

"but……"

The Hero's Certificate does not mean that once used, the soldier's status will be upgraded and he will gain heroic powers.

Just like the Lord Trial, soldiers must also pass the trial to advance. Failing the trial doesn't put your life in danger, but it will waste an extremely precious opportunity for the Hero Trial.

No great lord dared to waste such an opportunity.

Mu Yuan naturally didn't dare to use it casually, he needed to make some preparations.

However, he knew very little about the information about the Hero Trial, and only heard a few words from some veteran players.

And these veteran players might have heard it from somewhere else.

Thinking of this, Mu Yuan opened the news he saw in the morning.

——"Lord Xiong Tianba's general, the Black Knight, has passed the Hero Trial and been successfully promoted."

This is hot news, and many players left comments below to show that they are familiar with it.

Mu Yuan also followed suit and commented, "Can anyone explain what this Hero Trial is? It looks difficult."

He acted like a newbie.

No, he's a genuine newbie, how can he be called pretentious? No one is a newbie more than him!

This news had a large amount of traffic, and other players responded quickly, but these players were also newbies or noobs.

"Hero Trial? I don't know how to do it."

"Let me be frank. I also want to ask."

"Putting a ward in the front row, a big guy gave me some science and kicked me."

"Newbie stickers~"

Half an hour later, a senior player who looked like a big shot finally appeared.

This big guy has real-name authentication, ID Qiu Qianyuan.

He said, "The Hero Trial is too far away for you newbies, so far away that you'll probably never encounter it in your lifetime. But since so many people have asked sincerely, I'll briefly explain it."

"The Hero Trial is different from the Lord Trial. After using it, the target soldier will enter a special trial space. After completing the set trial tasks, they can be promoted to heroes."

"The content of this trial isn't fixed, but it primarily tests the participant's command, adaptability, and judgment. As far as I know, there have been instances where a Tier 3 General-level soldier failed the Hero Trial, but there have also been instances where a professional-level soldier was promoted to Hero... and that hero was also hailed as possessing a legendary figure."

"That's a bit off topic. To put it simply, the Hero Trial places greater emphasis on the 'intelligence' of a soldier. A soldier must possess at least moderate intelligence to have a chance of passing the Trial. Of course, the Lord player can provide some off-site support during the Trial, but if a soldier lacks intelligence, they will likely not understand the Lord's prompts, let alone pass the Trial."

"Generally speaking, soldiers with wisdom and higher ranks have a greater chance of passing the trial."

That's it!

Newbies and ordinary players all expressed that they had learned a lot and were amazed at the difficulty of the trial.

As expected, ordinary players like them, or even ordinary lords, have no chance of becoming heroes. Knowing more only makes them sad.

"Is it difficult? Actually, it's not difficult."

"For those capable of obtaining the Hero's Certificate, it's not difficult to find a few soldiers with wisdom. And as long as they pass the trial and are promoted to heroes, the newly promoted heroes will inevitably awaken their self-awareness."

"but……"

"The bad news is that if this soldier only possesses spiritual wisdom but fails to awaken self-awareness, then he can only barely pass the trial and obtain the most basic level of hero baptism."

There are also differences in the levels of hero baptism!

While ordinary players are still marveling at the difficulty of the trial, the big guys are starting to think of ways to improve the evaluation of their troops during the trial.

Pass! Good! Excellent! Perfect!

Four levels of evaluation, four levels of baptism!

"The most common baptism, after upgrading, the new hero can only obtain the most basic hero ability - the hero aura."

"Later, if you can achieve a higher rating, the heaven and earth will also grant you a higher level of baptism. At this time, the hero will have the opportunity to learn strategic skills, and even awaken strategic talents. The hero aura obtained will also be more powerful."

"And if you can get an even higher level of evaluation, it seems you can also get additional gifts from heaven and earth."

"Of course, even a hero who passes the trial with a passing grade is still a hero! A hero is hard to come by! Hey~ Hero, hero, the more you desire a hero, the harder it is to find one, hey~!"

……

Evening time, territory.

Mu Yuan looked at the broken blade in front of him and had some thoughts in his mind.

The Hero's Certificate was an extremely rare item, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to obtain another one within the next year. If passing the Hero's Trial proved difficult, he planned to hold off on using it for a while, prioritizing safety.

but now,

"It seems, perhaps, probably, that General Skeleton can win this trial with ease! Even if his own strength is limited, getting a passing grade and a good evaluation should be possible, right?"

In that case, there is no need to delay.

It’s not impossible for him to make up for his strategic skills, strategic talents, etc. later.

The early birth of a hero is of great strategic significance to the territory.

When it comes to wisdom and command, Dolai riding a skeleton warhorse is far behind the Skeleton.

This guy isn't looking forward to the Hero's Certificate...and he can't eat it.

"Do you have confidence, Dead Bones?"

The Bone said it wasn't entirely confident. It didn't know much about the trials, and wasn't particularly confident of getting a high rating. But the Lord had made his decision, and it couldn't say no.

I can only say that there is a slight difference.

“Slightly?”

Mu Yuan nodded slightly and smiled, "Let's get started."

"Ding!"

"Hint: You have used Hero's Proof, using the target 'Skeleton of Death'."

"Reminder: The Hero Trial has begun."

The broken blade shattered with a bang, transforming into a mysterious seal that enveloped the Bone General. The next moment, the Bone General's figure disappeared from the territory.

It has entered a special trial space.

Mu Yuan also discovered that he had separated a wisp of consciousness and was constantly rising, rushing into a gray world.

Just like when he entered the challenge secret realm, he regained consciousness again.

But this time, he only entered with consciousness, not a character.

Floating like a wandering soul, able to see and hear but unable to touch anything.

"Reminder: During the Hero Trial, the Lord is free to observe the battle, but there are only three opportunities to remind the trial participants. Please take advantage of them."

The sky was gray, the trees were withered, and wisps of red mist visible to the naked eye were floating in the air.

Under the red fog, dozens of undead soldiers were repairing. Their armor was a little torn, and some of the undead were even missing limbs. They had already experienced a brutal battle and walked crookedly.

It was at this moment, in this situation, that General Dead Bones woke up.

Chapter 71 Perfect Level

"Ding!"

"Reminder: The Hero Trial has begun. Participants must lead their team to the designated location within six hours and defeat the target enemy to pass the trial."

"Hint: The target enemy is strong and has a high strength level, but there are some troop replenishment points and resource supply points within the map. Trialists can explore them on their own."

"Reminder: During the trial, the trial-taker will have temporary heroic powers."
