Chapter 4027: Beyond First Class

"Where… is this place?"

At this moment, Xiao Fan entered a hazy space.

Here, there was no concept of time or space.

He couldn't even feel if his Physical Body existed, nor could he communicate with the star chart, Myriad Phenomena, or Nine Wings…

Suddenly.

Xiao Fan felt a tightness in his chest as his consciousness gradually blurred.

"Is it trying to erase my existence? Why…"

"Damn it, you want to erase my consciousness? In your dreams!"

"…"

Xiao Fan was attacked by a mysterious force, and his consciousness slowly began to fade.

However, Xiao Fan's tenacious willpower allowed him to endure it…

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Fan slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness remaining clear.

Now, that feeling of suppressed will had vanished…

Xiao Fan entered the next space.

"Was that… a trial? Is it over already?" Xiao Fan murmured.

"Correct. First trial, passed… Willpower: First Class."

At that moment, a hollow voice echoed between heaven and earth.

"Who are you?!"

"The moderator of the Nine Trials, the witness…"

"I see…" Xiao Fan murmured.

"You have half an hour of rest before you can enter the next trial… If you have any questions, you may ask. If they are within a reasonable scope, I can answer them for you."

"First Class? What other Ranks are there?" Xiao Fan thought for a moment and asked.

"There are nine classes in total… First Class is the best, and Ninth Class is the worst."

"Fine."

Having just undergone an assessment, his priority now was to recover his consciousness and return to his Peak state to wait for the second trial.

Soon, the second assessment arrived…

Suddenly.

Xiao Fan felt his Physical Body being crushed by hundreds of mountains. A powerful pressure tried to force him to submit…

"A trial of physical strength? I'm not afraid…"

Xiao Fan murmured, his powerful aura booming as he countered the suppression appearing out of thin air.

Soon, the force pressing down on Xiao Fan intensified.

But the result remained the same; it couldn't affect Xiao Fan in the slightest…

In a flash, seven days later…

Cold sweat dripped from Xiao Fan's forehead, and his face was flushed red. His physical strength had reached its limit.

"So heavy…" Xiao Fan murmured.

By now, the weight on Xiao Fan had reached an unimaginable level.

Even if tens of millions of Ancient Vicious Beasts were added together, they probably wouldn't weigh as much as this…

Suddenly, the weight pressing down on Xiao Fan vanished.

"Second trial, physical strength assessment complete. First Class!"

Xiao Fan breathed a sigh of relief; he hadn't expected the second trial to be so difficult.

"Half an hour of rest…"

"…"

Soon, the half-hour was up, and Xiao Fan began the third assessment.

Soul Power.

Xiao Fan's physical strength was bound, and his Divine Soul felt an unimaginable pressure. Blades specifically targeting the Divine Soul began to repeatedly tear into his Divine Soul.

"Ah…!"

"Damn it… what is this trial testing?!" Xiao Fan roared through gritted teeth.

"Time. The longer you hold out, the higher the evaluation you receive…"

"Dammit." With a darkened expression, Xiao Fan felt his Divine Soul being torn into countless pieces in the blink of an eye.

Then, in the next blink of an eye, a new round of tearing began…

Over time, Xiao Fan grew angry. Using his Soul Power, he manifested a Flying Sword to clash with the blades that were severing his Divine Soul…

Soon, Xiao Fan's Soul Power destroyed the blades.

Xiao Fan was then able to recover and let out a sigh of relief.

"Third trial complete… First Class."

"I… I destroyed them, and I'm still just First Class?!" Xiao Fan was stunned.

"Correct."
