The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

Rein found himself alone in the middle of a stone room after entering this secret realm. He understood that everyone taking the trials would be separated and had to give the trial all on their own. This was not surprising as Rein had already expected it. So he did not get worried and started to look around the room.

Rein saw that there was a stone tablet in the middle of the room with something written in it. He read what was written and found that it was instructions about what he needed to do to pass the first selection stage.

There was a cultivation manual in this stone tablet. Rein needed to study that manual and had to master it to a proficient degree in order to clear this stage. So basically, it was a test to check the comprehension talents of the disciples.

There was a bare minimum standard that Rein needed to cross in order to reach the next stage. There was also a points system so Rein could do exceptionally well to earn more points which would be beneficial for him in future stages.

Understanding what he needed to do, Rein put his hands on an array formation drawn at the bottom of the stone tablet. The tablet lit up with bright light and a cultivation technique appeared in his mind. Rein curiously went through this technique and found that it was quite a high ranking technique.

It was not as difficult as the main cultivation technique of a large sect but it was only one or two levels below them in difficulty. And as everyone had a limited amount of time to understand and master the technique, so this was definitely a very hard test to clear.

But that was true only for common disciples. Anyone who could be called a genius should not have much trouble with this task. Among Rein's lovers Colinde would be most unsuitable for this job but even she would be able to learn a technique of this difficulty without any problem within the given time. Her score would not be very high but she would definitely be able to clear this stage.

The time limit to learn this cultivation technique was 3 days and Rein managed to perfectly understand every aspect of this technique in less than 4 hours. This was way too exceptional so Rein waited for a few more hours before showing his progress to the stone tablet and going to the second stage.

...

The first stage was a test for comprehension ability of the participants. This was the quickest and most straightforward way to understand which disciples were worthy enough to get some special attraction from the elder who was observing the whole selection trial.

This plan was a great success as the elder had really managed to find most of the good disciples who were also doing exceptionally well in the other stages. There were a few exceptions to this rule but most of the worthy participants had managed to score high points in the first round.

Among the exceptions, one girl was especially impressive. In the third where she needed to fight demons, she managed to get the highest amount of points among all the participants which was astonishing. The elder was already extremely surprised with how insanely high quality this time's participants were but even among excellent peers, this girl had managed to give the best le performance.

The elder judged that this girl might have a skill that was bane to all demons. This type of skills were extremely valuable and sought after even in the mighty Dimensional God temple. But not only against the demons, in the fifth stage where the participants needed to fight against a group of great beasts, this girl once again showed an extremely good performance.

So she was basically a fighting genius.

Other than her there were many more excellent participants. Three of the people with the highest cultivation level were all doing extremely well. The youngest among them was especially a monster when it came to talents. It was so overwhelming that the elder had to use a legendary artifact to judge if this child was a reincarnated individual or not and he was surprised to see that he was not.

So that could only mean that this boy was really just a heaven-defying talent.

There was also another girl who was able to perform above average in all the rounds and her performances in the first and fourth were exceptionally amazing. So she was someone who was very intelligent when it came to cultivation. With some unique heritage of the Dimensional God temple, this girl would definitely be able to reach unseen heights in the future.

There was also another girl who had just managed to clear all the stages so far but just barely. She had not been able to do exceptionally well in any of the stages and in some cases, she was even lucky to be able to pass it.

Even though from all angles this girl looked like a completely average disciple with no exceptional ability, the elder was feeling something special in her but he was not sure what was actually special about her. But still as his intuition told him to, he decided to keep a close eye on this girl too.

There were quite a few other participants who were also very talented. This show of talent proved to him that his thinking was not wrong. There were actually not many disciples even in the main temple who would be on the same level as these disciples. So they must need to bring in new talents from the outside world of the wanted to continue growing.

The other younger disciple who was with the elder had his whole worldview broken. As he was a member of the strongest sect of this world, he was definitely very proud of himself and thought that everyone else from the outside world would not be on his or his fellow disciples level.

When the elder decided to hold this selection, he had thought that at most his sect would be getting just a few more useless disciples who were mostly there to become lackeys of the true disciples. But the truth turned out to be completely different.

He had speculated before the start of the selection exam that at most 5 or 6 would be able to barely pass this selection test. As for having a good score, in his opinion no one would be able to get that. This was not an easy test and he had taken this test and had managed to score only 567 points.

But to his horror, when the test was over, this disciple found out that a total of 39 participants had managed to pass this selection trial and among them 9 of them had score which was higher than his own. Seeing this result all the pride that this disciple had were immediately destroyed.

That was how this selection trial came to an end.
