[System Notification: The God-slaying Spear master recognition assessment has begun. The person who obtains the God-slaying Spear must undergo an assessment. Were the player to fail, the God-slaying Spear will escape!]

  [System Notification: The assessment will be based on the player’s current stage! Please choose Yes to continue, or No to reject this assessment.]

  Li Yi listened to the system notification and clicked on the Yes option without hesitation.

  Although the God-slaying Spear was not able compatible with his class, the rewards from completing the Divine Revelation mission would still be able to be reaped even if there were restrictions.

  As Li Yi chose Yes as the option, the system’s voice sounded again.

  [System Notification: You have chosen Yes to continue the assessment. The God-slaying Spear master recognition test commences. 30 seconds till it commences!]

  …

  [System Notification: Countdown has ended. The test has begun!]

  As the voice of the system mechanical fell, Li Yi felt his head spin and his entire body float. Fortunately, this feeling left as quickly as it came.

  “Hmm…”

  Li Yi rubbed his head in discomfort.

  After feeling slightly better, he opened his eyes, but to his sight, all he saw was darkness.

  However, the next second…

  With a whoosh, a bright flame lit up the surroundings. Numerous torches were then lit up along the stone wall one by one.

  Under the illumination of the flame, the stone wall reflected a jet-black light. It looked a little sinister.

  “Is this another teleportation location?”

  Li Yi frowned as he looked at his surroundings, and a headache started to form. He had used up all his mental energy when he was battling the Boss. In addition to the dizziness just now from the supposed assessment.

  Li Yi could not help but feel a little overwhelmed.

  [System Notification: The assessment has begun. Please defeat the projection of the War God.]

  When the system’s voice ended, the clear sound of footsteps echoed.

  Li Yi heard the movement and turned around to look in the direction of the footsteps.

  A tall young man with an ordinary appearance walked over slowly with a spear in his right hand.

  Li Yi looked at the young man with a slightly solemn expression and pulled out the magic weapon on his back.

  He checked the attributes and reminded himself to be as careful as possible.

  Although it was a projection, it was also a god’s projection.

  [Boss: Level 18 War God’s Projection]

  [Rarity: ???]

  [HP: 100,000]

  [Physical Attack: 2,760]

  [Magic Attack: 1,000]

  [Physical Defense: 2,300]

  [Magic Defense: 2,600]

  [Boss Skill: ???]

  After looking at the War God’s Projection’s attributes, Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief.

  It was just as the system had said, the assessment would be based on the user’s current stage.

  Although the War God’s attributes panel looked very high, it did not pose much of a threat to Li Yi. That was because his main source of damage came from his high HP.

  The War God’s Projection stopped in his tracks and looked up and down at Li Yi who was not too far away. He did not bother with formalities and began his attack. He held the long spear in his hand and aimed it at Li Yi.

  Li Yi’s expression froze slightly, and a fiery battle intent flashed in his eyes!

  He wanted to test how much of a gap there was between him and the God of War’s projection.

  The projection charged in front of Li Yi, and the long spear in his hand stabbed at an extremely tricky angle!

  Li Yi flipped his wrist, and the golden black aura from Deaths Descent overflowed. He did not show any signs of weakness as he met the spear attack head-on!

  Clang!

  The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out. The sword and spear collided and caused countless of sparks to fly.

  Li Yi and the War God’s Projection did not retreat at all. Noth parties clashed head-on with each other’s weapons, as if they were competing in strength.

  More than ten seconds later, the muscles on the War God’s Projection body bulged, and he suddenly exerted more force!

  Li Yi felt the tremendous force that was channeled over from Deaths Descent. The weapon in his hand slightly tilted from the power, and Li Yi’s figure was forced to retreat a few meters.

  “-2,331!”

  “Tsk!”

  Li Yi, who had stabilized his body, clicked his tongue. Looking at the War God’s Projection not too far away, he did not dare take advantage of the situation to pursue his opponent. He could not help but mutter to himself as he tried to recover.

  “As expected of a God. He’s been so powerful ever since he was young. However…” Li Yi raised Deaths Descent in his hand as he spoke, “I myself have something up my sleeve.”

  Li Yi’s footsteps suddenly stomped on the ground, and the black bricks under his feet cracked from the pressure. The gorgeous golden black aura from Deaths Descent instantly twined around and swung down toward the War God’s Projection.

  “Critical Strike!”

  The attack contained a strong killing intent as it rushed toward the War God’s Projection.

  The War God’s Projection slightly turned his body, and the long spear in his hand made a blocking gesture as he pointed at the incoming attack!

  “-28,981! Block!”

  The golden black aura attack slashed at the tip of the spear, and the War God’s Projection was sent flying back by the terrifying power.

  On the other hand, Li Yi did not further pursue his opponent. He only observed his opponent’s HP from afar.

  When he saw the damage displayed on the War God’s Projection head and the amount of HP it had lost, he heaved a sigh of relief.

  Li Yi had been scared by the God Corpse Eye Guardian’s Divine Wrath and was concerned if this War God’s Projection had some special skill that was hidden as well.

  The war God’s Projection stabbed his spear into the ground. His footwork was messy as he leaped and somersaulted in mid-air before landing gracefully on the ground.

  He looked at Li Yi, who was not far away, somewhat surprised. The projection did not expect that an attack could reduce his HP by so much.

  Immediately after, his eyes were filled with recognition. As a War God, he yearned for battle the most.

  The current Li Yi had fueled his desire to fight.

  The War God’s Projection swung the spear in his hand backward and charged towards Li Yi. The War God’s Projection was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Li Yi. With a flick of his wrist, the tip of the spear emitted a cold light as it pierced towards Li Yi’s face!

  Li Yi’s eyes showed no fear as he raised the Thunder Square Shield in his left hand.

  Dang!!

  “-3,213! Block!”

  The Thunder Square Shield had successfully blocked the attack of the War God. However, this was not a round-based game.

  The attack of the War God’s Projection did not end here. The spear was like a dragon. It acted like a raging storm as it crazily tapped on the Thunderbolt Square Shield.

  “-1,231! Block!”

  “-3,313! Block!”

  “-2,998! Block!”

  “…”

  Ching!

  A crisp sound rang out as the shield value generated by the Thunder Square Shield shattered!

  However, the God of War’s projection attack did not end. Instead, the attack became even fiercer.

  “-3,333! Block!”

  “-2,131! Block!”

  “-4,231! Critical Hit!”

  The God of War’s projection attack suppression was too strong. Li Yi was suppressed to the point that he could not use his skills.

  However, Li Yi had been a Demigod Berserker in his previous life. Even though he was suppressed, he was still able to deal with it with ease.

  “As expected of the projection of the God of War.”

  Li Yi parried his opponent’s attack and sighed in his heart. Then, he stomped on the ground fiercely and the power in his left hand exuded greatness. The Thunder Square Shield used brute force to block the War God’s Projection’s long spear!

  With a bang, the War God’s attack stopped. Li Yi seized this opportunity. Suddenly, golden black aura surrounded his body and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

  “Raging Blood Roar!”

  A ring of energy burst out from Li Yi’s body and hit the War God’s body fiercely.

  “-33,244! Critical Hit!”

  A string of numbers appeared above the War God’s head. The War God’s health bar had been dropped by more than half from the attack, but he did not immediately launch an attack.

  He held his head and staggered.

  Angry Blood Roar’s two-second stun effect had been successfully activated.

  Li Yi took the opportunity to charge forward with Deaths Descent in his hand that emitted a terrifying black light. He aimed at the War God’s vital points and launched a combo of Critical Strike.

  “-1,459! Weak Point Damage!”

  “-2,996! Weak Point Damage!”

  “-4,712! Critical Hit!”

  After doing all this, Li Yi did not try to escape. At this moment, he was now out of mental and physical energy. He could not use his superb skills to connect to charge seamlessly at his opponent.

  He chose to retreat and compose himself before he charged again.

  [System Notification: The God of War’s Projection’s HP has dropped below 40%. The Boss will now use their skill, Divine Will. All attributes will be increased threefold!]

  As the system’s emotionless voice rang out, Li Yi’s face turned gloomy.

  Chapter 68: Killing the War God’s Projection, Divine Power

  “F*ck!”

  Li Yi cursed angrily.

  Whether it was a small monster or a Boss, all the skills in this quest had their attributes increased by three times.

  If it were any other player, they would have long been sent back to the Resurrection Point.

  Not far away, a pale white light surged out of the War God’s Projection’s body. The light slowly covered his body.

  The War God stood up and looked at Li Yi. The long spear in his hand was pointed at him from afar. This one action was full of provocation.

  Li Yi narrowed his eyes. His right hand held Deaths Descent tightly. He activated his Charge skill and slashed at the War God’s Projection!

  Clang!

  “-12,871! Block!”

  When Deaths Descent swung down, the War God’s Projection raised his spear to block. Then, he crouched down and suddenly swept across.

  Clang!

  “-13,721! Blocked!”

  Li Yi’s weapon stabbed down hard, blocking the God of War’s attack. However, the brute force still traveled along Deaths Descent to his right arm and shook him until he felt numb.

  His HP instantly decreased immensely.

  Although he blocked the attack successfully, he was still judged by the effect and received the damage accordingly.

  Previously, when a few strands of hair fell, it was judged to be a dodge, so there was no damage given. However, Li Yi had felt the brute force, thus, a decrease in his HP.

  The War God’s Projection’s footsteps were light. He leaped up and pointed the long spear in his hand towards the sky!

  This attack was filled with killing intent, and Li Yi did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly raised his shield to block.

  “-9312! Block!”

  The tip of the spear pointed at the Thunder Square Shield. Li Yi used the reverse thrust to quickly retreat, pulling some distance away from the War God’s Projection.

  As he retreated, he glanced at the War God’s Projection’s low HP bar. The Dragon Token in his heart vibrated, and wisps of golden light flowed out.

  The black aura on Deaths Descent faded, and golden flames appeared.

  “Blazing Stab!”

  He steadied his body and moved. Without waiting for the War God’s Projection to pursue him, he took the initiative to swing his sword to meet his opponent.

  The swords and spears collided, and Sparks flew everywhere.

  “-1,278! Critical Hit!”

  “-766! Burn Damage!”

  “-438! Burn Damage!”

  “-666! Burn Damage!”

  Golden flames spread along the tip of the spear and burned directly onto the body of the War God’s Projection. Then, the god’s projection swung his spear forcefully and retreated.

  At this moment, the system’s voice sounded.

  [System Notification: The HP of the War God’s Projection has been reduced to less than 20%. It is about to enter the initial stage of deification and its attributes will be increased fivefold!]

  Li Yi’s eyelids twitched. He saw the platinum radiance on the War God’s Projection not far away. It was getting brighter and brighter, and the aura emanating from its body was getting stronger and stronger.

  Li Yi quickly checked his own skills.

  “Starlight’s Blessing!”

  Spots of fluorescent light appeared under Li Yi’s feet. He immediately felt that his entire body had become much more at ease. Following that, he moved like an arrow that had left the bowstring. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the War God’s Projection.

  The magnificent golden black aura of Deaths Descent gushed out from his hand. Li Yi then aimed at the vital point of the War God’s Projection and swung it down with all his might!

  “Critical Strike!”

  “-23,814! Critical Hit!”

  Deaths Descent brought along the golden black aura and slashed fiercely at the War God’s body.

  A dazzling number appeared above the War God’s Projection.

  The platinum light on the War God’s Projection paused for a moment before dissipating.

  At the same time, the God of War’s Projection gradually turned illusory.

  [System Notification: Assessment completed. The assessment grounds will be closed in 10 seconds.]

  [Talent Trigger: Obtained 1,000 HP, 10 HP Recovery/second]

  …

  “It’s over.”

  Li Yi looked at the War God’s Projection and retreated a little, placing Deaths Descent behind his back.

  [System Notification: Ten, nine, eight… one…]

  As the system’s countdown ended, the feeling of the world spinning came back again.

  “F*ck…”

  As Li Yi complained in discomfort, the surrounding environment changed again.

  A moment later, Li Yi rubbed his temples and opened his eyes to look around.

  It was still dark out with the stars hanging high in the sky.

  He took a step forward and stepped on the god’s corpse as if he had never moved.

  [System Notification: Congratulations on passing the assessment and obtaining the recognition of the God-slaying Spear. The reward is 10 points of Divine Power!]

  “Divine Power?”

  Li Yi was puzzled by what it meant, but just then, the God-slaying Spear appeared out of thin air and was gently placed in his hand.

  Li Yi looked at the silver spear that was engraved with divine patterns in his hand, and the doubt in his heart did not diminish, in fact, it greatly increased.

  Then, he looked at the interface of the God-slaying Spear.

  He hoped that he could get some useful information from the interface.

  [Equipment: God-slaying Spear (sealed)]

  [Rarity: Divine Weapon]

  [Physical Attack: 0]

  [Magic Attack: 0]

  [Divine Weapon Attribute Enhancement: 0]

  [Divine Weapon Special Enhancement: Generates 1 point of Divine Power every 24 hours]

  [Equipment Condition: Exclusive to Carefree Dream]

  “Generates 1 point of Divine Power… could it be?!”

  Li Yi seemed to have thought of something as his eyes lit up. He immediately opened his attributes.

  [ID: Carefree Dream ]

  [Class: Guardian Warrior/Heavy Armored Dragon Knight]

  [Level: 18]

  [Five Dimension: Strength 401, Stamina 153, Agility 137, Spirit 135, Intelligence 100]

  [HP: 130,980]

  [MP: 660]

  [Divine Power: 10 points]

  [HP Recovery Speed: 1,378.1/s]

  [MP Recovery Speed: 18/s]

  [Physical Attack: 1,740]

  [Magic Attack: 481]

  [Physical Defense: 311]

  [Magic Defense: 356]

  [Movement Speed: 16 m/s]

  [Attack Speed: 2.65 m/s]

  [Other Attributes: Critical Strike 39%, Toughness 25%, Movement Speed +25%, Critical Strike Resistance 5%]

  Li Yi looked at the additional Divine Power on his attributes and clicked into it.

  This was the way to check the details of individual attributes in Divine Revelation.

  [Divine Power: 10 points]

  [Additional Note: There are three Divine Power Usage Methods.]

  [Divine Power Usage Method 1: Divine Power points can be used to temporarily increase attributes. 1 point of Divine Power can increase all attributes threefold for 15 seconds!]

  [Divine Power Usage Method 2: Consume 1 point of Divine Power. Can permanently increase self-selected attributes by 10 points!]

  [Divine Power Usage Method 3: Consuming Divine Power points can allow a player to learn a divine skill. Players would be able to learn the books that have divine skill!]

  After checking it, Li Yi was extremely excited.

  He could let go of the God-slaying Spear. As expected, the special mission of Divine Revelation would not randomly give rewards that could not be used. Moreover, the reward was much bigger than he had imagined!

  The Divine Power usage method 1 would allow him to be like those monsters, as it would temporarily increase his attributes. This was a very crucial skill, and it could be used to protect his life at critical moments.

  For the Divine Power usage method 2, it could permanently increase his attribute points! 1 divine point for 10 attribute points, and he could get 1 Divine Power point a day. If he accumulated this over time, the benefits he would get would be huge!

  Moreover, the god equipment was still currently sealed. Once it was unsealed in the future, he believed that he would be able to get even more Divine Power points.

  As for method 3, he would be able to learn a divine skill. Right now, he had a divine skill that suited him very well. After learning it, he would have another trump card.

  Li Yi was extremely excited, however, the system’s voice sounded again.

  [System Notification: The Trial to Awaken the War God’s Strength— fourth round, has been activated. Please head to the Demon Forest to obtain the War God’s legacy and unseal the key item of the God-slaying Spear.]

  Li Yi was slightly stunned. After reading the system notification in detail, he said, “The Demon Forest, if I can recall, that place hasn’t been activated yet…”

  In his previous life’s memories, the map of the Demon Forest would only be activated at a later stage.

  As for the approximate time, Li Yi did not know when it would be unlocked.

  Although he had memories of his previous life, some memories were too far back, so he could not remember the details clearly.

  “Forget it, I’ll just open it then go over. I can’t stand around and do nothing.”

  Li Yi shook his head and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

  “But how do I get out of here?”

  Li Yi suddenly thought of this question out loud. Then, he turned his gaze to the God-slaying Spear.

  The God-slaying Spear seemed to have sensed something. With a slight tremble, the divine patterns on the spear began to glow with blue light.

  Li Yi was very familiar with this blue light. Previously, when the altar activated the spatial gate, it also emitted the same blue light as it was now.

  The blue light continued to spread around him. In the span of a second, Li Yi’s entire body was enveloped by the blue light. The familiar feeling of dizziness once again dawned on him.

  “Damn it…”

  In the next moment, under Li Yi’s complaints, his figure had already disappeared from where he stood.

  What was left was only the pitch-black night sky and the stars that filled it beautifully.

  As well as the god’s corpse that had become shriveled and dried up…
