[Successfully killed (White Lake Wolf), obtained altar core]...

If anyone saw the battle between Lein and the ant monsters and wolf monsters, they would feel there was no fairness in this fight. Lein appeared in one place and then disappeared, only to reappear in another place far away, slashing ferociously all around.

The ant monsters and wolf monsters alike could do nothing, even with their skills occasionally emitting red light, they couldn't touch Lein at all.

Two minutes passed, and all 200 monsters were dead, leaving behind corpses that would disappear every few seconds. The grass that was once green was now covered with monster corpses.

"Huhhh.. exhausting.." Lein was a bit tired this time. The ant monsters weren't strong, but their numbers would drain anyone's energy.

It seemed endless, strange monsters with various shapes and strengths kept appearing after Lein finished off the previous waves.

"Alright, still got 45 minutes left..."

"Let's go!!!!" Lein shouted with enthusiasm.

...

Forty minutes passed, and a battle between Lein and thousands of monster troops ensued. Lein was like a small sugar cube swarmed by thousands of monsters.

There were various forms of monsters among the thousands that appeared. Some were shaped like bulls with massive horns, and there were even flying monsters attacking from the sky.

[Sea Carrion Bird]

- Attribute: STR +3700, INT +3700, AGI +3700, RES +3700

- Skills: (Heart Poison), (Killer Beak), (Wind-Splitting Claw)

[Sword Ant Warrior]

- Attribute: STR +3300, INT +3300, AGI +3300, RES +3300

- Skills: (Basic Swordsmanship), (Heart-Splitting Slash), (Steadfast Sword Heart)

Lein was also in full blast this time. Blue equipment covered his entire body, emitting an aura of terrifying power. Every few minutes he would activate his skills. Thanks to the artifact (Time Ring), every skill he had was without cooldown.

Sashh... slash..

[Successfully killed (Sea Carrion Bird), obtained (altar core)]...

[Successfully killed (Red-Toothed Ogre), obtained (altar core)]...

...

Various types of monsters fell one by one due to Lein's ferocity. Although there were some monsters with attributes averaging almost 4000, Lein could still hold on thanks to the healing effect from his holy sword.

Four more minutes passed, and finally, a system notification appeared on Lein's panel.

[Test time is over, you have 5 minutes to form the core]

04:59...

04:55...

After the system warning, no more strange monsters appeared, leaving Lein alone on a grass field soaked with blood.

"Huhhh... finally," Lein muttered wearily.

He then checked the number of altar cores he had obtained.

(Altar Core) Soul Altar Container Piece

- Quantity: 34,000

"So many hhhh.." Lein shouted with satisfaction. His battles had paid off.

"But how do I use them?" Lein was now worried again as the time continued to count down.

Huff...

Lein refocused on the sword image in his chest.

[Starting absorption (altar core) progress 1%]

[Starting absorption (altar core) progress 2%]

...

Lein watched the progress panel of the sword image increase rapidly, even reaching 10 in 17 seconds. He also felt that all the altar cores in his storage ring were drastically reduced.

[Starting absorption (altar core) progress 99%]

[Starting absorption (altar core) progress 100%]

[Starting absorption (golden altar core) progress 1%]

"Golden tier?" Lein shouted in his heart.

Lein immediately exited his focus mode and checked the number of crystal cores he had.

(Altar Core) Soul Altar Container Piece

- Quantity: 24,000

"10,000 regular altar cores, then for the golden one... could it be 10,000 as well?" Lein thought hard.

[Duplicate (altar core) x10,000 times, confirm?]

"Yes"

Immediately, Lein's altar core quantity increased back to 34,000. He quickly entered focus mode again to absorb all the altar cores.

[Starting absorption (golden altar core) progress 100%]

[Starting absorption (royal altar core) progress 1%]

...

Lein saw the change in the golden sword image, which now turned white. The light from the sword emitted a majestic aura that made Lein's heart tremble.

"Royal tier altar core?" Lein said excitedly. He was very curious about the good things that would come from the royal tier altar core.

[Starting absorption (royal altar core) progress 100%]

[Starting absorption (Universe altar core) progress 1%]

"Insane!!!! Universe tier? Isn't this too terrifying?" Lein's heart shook as he saw the universe tier. He had indeed worked very hard for this trial, lucky that the Time Ring artifact helped him so that all his skills could be active continuously.

[Starting absorption (universe altar core) progress 100%]

[Congratulations, core formation 100% completed, gaining 100% of current sovereign attributes]

[Congratulations, sovereign gained +12,173 free attributes]

[Congratulations, sovereign gained (Soul Altar - Universe)]

[Trial time over... sovereign will be transferred in 3... 2... 1...]

***

A vast sports field with fresh green grass.

A young man in a blue robe appeared at the edge of the field. The young man seemed to be thinking for a moment, but then a broad smile appeared on his face.

"Hhhh... finished just in time"

"Alright, let's see what we got"

Lein tried to look inside himself through his senses. He saw a black altar right in the middle of his chest.

(Soul Altar - Universe)

- EXP: +100%

- Attribute: +100%

- Skill cooldown reduction: +50%

- Swordmaster Soul: not active

"Insane.... "Lein shouted in his heart.

"What kind of crazy buff is this?"

Lein couldn't believe that the tier-3 promotion trial had brought him such immense benefits.

Previously, Lein had also gained a 90% exp increase from the core crystal he used to reach tier 2. Combined with the 100% from the soul altar, he could level up three times faster than others.

"What?!!!!" Shock reappeared on Lein's face as he looked at his duplicate talent skill.

(Infinity Duplicate: Version 2)

- Cooldown: 30 minutes

Lein took a long deep breath. The joy on his face couldn't be hidden. Seeing the 30-minute cooldown meant he could duplicate twice as much as before.

"Hahahah... amazing," a broad smile appeared on Lein's face.

"What's with the island owner? He's smiling to himself."

"Hey, the island owner can hear you, get back to work."
