"With the cultivator achieving a Perfect score on the first test, after adjusting the rewards to the cultivator's current cultivation realm, the cultivator shall be reward with a Skin Augmentation Pill," the voice from the tower resounded as a beam of light was shot towards Shi Li's palm.
Shi Li's palm felt slightly heavy not long after as the beam of light disappeared. Shi Li opened his palm, which revealed a brownish pill that had greyish spots here and there. It was quite round for its size, the pill alone took up over half of Shi Li's palm.
He brought it closer to his face as he examined it. The texture of the pill was rough, but it had a pattern to it. As for the smell, it was a strong earthy smell, but not to the point it was putrid.
Closing his eyes for a while, Shi Li looked at this pill with surprise.
"The first test's reward is truly generous! It gave me a Skin Augmentation Pill which is more effective than the Skin Compacting Pill Senior Yan gave me!"
"Not only that, it has even reached the Exquisite grade of refining!"
For pills, there are four grades a pill can end up in: Substandard, Standard, Refined, and Exquisite, from lowest to highest respectively.
Substandard pills most of the time have a bit of its efficacy lost, thus being called substandard. Even then, these kinds of pills are a hit because of their cheaper price. Standard pills are your run-of-the-mill pills that have the original effect, many people buy this as well.
Refined pills and Exquisite pills are those pills that have been refined in a special manner wherein a pill gains a certain level of consciousness, allowing it to increase the pill's efficacy. Most of the time, only those with enough money and power can buy it.
Shi Li suppressed his excitement as he sat cross-legged. But then he realized that there were still two tests to go,forcing him to stand up and save it for later.
Yet out of nowhere, the tower spoke.
"The cultivator has twenty minutes of time to rest before the second round."
Hearing that, Shi Li ecstatically sat back down again and swallowed the Skin Augmentation Pill whole.
Fwoosh! Bang! Bang!
In just seconds, Shi Li felt a surge of energy travel throughout his body that was comparable to the energy of 5 Skin Compacting Pills combined.
"Agh!" Shi Li couldn't help but scream out in pain. Being someone who rarely took pills, he wasn't used to the intensity of the pill's energy once it entered the body. Even then, he was sure that soon enough he'll have some sort of resistance to the pain.
Every second, he could feel hammers hitting on his skin as a fire inside him cooked the skin, giving Shi Li a sense of his skin being tempered. After around ten minutes, this feeling was now gone, allowing Shi Li to look at his skin.
There was no grime on his skin as that was already cleansed by the Body Cleansing Pill, but he could see that it was even more compacted compared to before when he thought that that was the limit.
Shi Li then examined his body and was shocked to see that the skin was starting to transfer a part of their energy into the bones, notifying Shi Li that he was close to breaking through the Bone Tempering realm.
From this alone, he remembered the pill he swallowed as he asked himself, 'A pill like that already allowed me to reach the Peak of Skin Tempering in one go? I wonder how good the rewards are for the next two tests.'
Remembering that the second test was based on his mental fortitude, he continued to sit cross-legged while calming his mind down.
During this meditation, a question that he wanted to ask popped up in his mind.
"I heard a while ago that I got a Perfect score. What are the different types of scores?"
There was a deafening silence within the hall for a while before the tower answered Shi Li's question.
"Answering the cultivator, there are five scores: Failed, Satisfactory, Excellent, Superb, and Perfect, from lowest to highest respectively," the voice continued to talk in a monotonous tone.
"Failed is self-explanatory, while Satisfactory is the score a cultivator gets when they fulfill the requirements, allowing to get the most basic reward."
"As for Excellent, Superb, and Perfect score, these are scores given for the cultivators who have exceeded the requirements, thereby allowing to receive a better reward. The Perfect score is the highest score a cultivator can get."
"I see," Shi Li responded as he continued to meditate for a few more minutes.
At a certain point in time, the voice spoke once more. "The twenty minutes are now up. Requesting the cultivator to prepare for the next round."
Shi Li opened his eyes and stood up as he checked the amount of mental energy he currently had with the interface. After seeing that it was near the maximum capacity, Shi Li nodded lightly as he waited for the second test.
"The second test shall check your mental fortitude."
"Let the test begin!"
At the exact moment the tower was finished speaking, a wave of intense mental energy was shot towards Shi Li's mind, making his senses fall into disarray.
Not long after, seeing that the brain couldn't handle the mental energy, it saved itself and went into hibernation, making Shi Li fall to the ground with a plop.
…
Shi clan, in an unknown space within the Shi Trial Tower.
A semi-corporeal being looked at ten screens simultaneously. In each screen were the clan members that entered the Shi Trial Tower together.
The being looked at the progress of the members in their first test and was surprised to see two good seedlings zoom through their test at a faster speed compared to their peers. These two people were Shi Huoyang and Shi Heishen which Senior Yan introduced to Shi Li before he went inside the tower.
Not long after, a certain screen caught his attention because of the time the member used in clearing the test. This member exceeded his peers by a long shot. At the time this member was already done, the two were still at their fourth clone while the others were at their second clone.
"Oh?" the being raised its eyebrows. "This is the first time someone has been able to complete the test this fast."
"Let's see his history…"
"Oh? I see...I see…"
The being couldn't help but chuckle as it continued to look through the certain member's history. After a while, it smiled as it looked at the certain member's screen as its eyes turned a crimson red.
"I wonder…if you could connect this clan back to its roots…?"
"Shi Li?"
