The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor



That was the scene that greeted Fane and Lourain when they arrived there. The moment the two of them stepped into the place, the tokens once again sent the rules of the challenge into their minds.

Each challenge had its own name. The first challenge they went through when they entered the Radiant Hall was the Three Energy Space. The second challenge was the Path of Fate. This challenge was called the Seven Death Arenas. The rules were not complicated, but it was a test of character as well.

After Fane understood the rules, he immediately understood why there were so many complicated looks around. Lourain frowned, "This challenge seems quite simple. It should be quite easy to get nine points..."

As he said that, Lourain paused and he started to frown slightly, "However, it looks like I probably won't be able to get a single point!"

He suddenly realized that, even though the challenge was quite simple, it was only simple for a portion of people. Those like him who were average in strength could very well not be able to get a single point. Fane clearly knew that as well, and he nodded slowly.

This time, the challenge did not just test a person's character but was not friendly to regular warriors at all. Even Lourain could end up walking away without a single point, let alone those who were weaker than him.

In truth, Lourain was not that weak. He could finally be considered above average, but even between above-average warriors, there was a huge difference. Lourain could only be considered to be at the bottom of above-average warriors.

The rules of the challenge were simple. The participants gathered were split into two types. The first were the ones who accepted challengers on the arenas, while the second were the challengers on the bottom.

To gather nine points, one would need to be the recipient of the challenges and stand in the arena. The challengers who were at the bottom could challenge the recipients at any time. The recipients had to accept any challenges directed at them.

to stay on the stage for a whole twenty-four hours without losing, they would be able to get nine points. To prevent anyone from manipulating the rules to their advantage, the challengers would get five points if they won any challenges, but if they lost, five points would be taken from them.

Every time a recipient won, they would be awarded a point. After a recipient was done with a battle, they would be given two hours to

rest and recover, preventing a

challenges. Those rules in place helped prevent anyone from gaming the system with people they knew, deliberately losing to the recipients or otherwise.

Lourain raised an eyebrow as he said in excitement, "These rules are quite cool. It's such a test of your character and the choices you make. The moment the challenge starts, no matter how the battle goes, the recipients can kill the challengers.

"Yet, the challengers can't kill the recipients, and can't deal any heavy injuries that can't be recovered from. So, those warriors gathered there will probably be thinking about becoming a recipient as long as they are skilled enough.

"After all, each time a challenge is issued, the challengers can't kill the recipients, but not otherwise. So, even though a recipient needs to go through a lot of battles, they'll be able to get nine points as long as they manage to hold on and not lose.

"Even if they lost, they'll still keep their lives. However, the rules for becoming a recipient are different. Even if they don't need to go through so many battles, they could very well lose their lives if they underestimate their opponents. Furthermore, they'll only manage to get five points after a challenge..."
