Chapter 412 - Tier Promotion Test ( Final )
The final test in being promoted to tier 3 was the hardest , hardest to endure , and hardest to clear.
It was the part where the players body would be constantly constructed and destroyed , in such a way that the reconstruction would show a slight increase in quality of the muscle over the previous state.
The process was very painfull to endure , however the even tougher Part was that for a body to undergo cellular regeneration again and again , the player had to focus regeneration efforts through his brain and redirect the holy energy of life as needed .
That meant that they could not ignore the pain but had to embrace it to improove the quality of the body . The overall pain index involved in this process was nearly as painfull as shattering an arm, as Rudra felt while using Solar Beam.
However it would not be localized like in solar beam to one part of the body , he would feel it constantly throughout his body , as his body was changed to a better version of itself.
With the same muscle per square centimetre , Rudra would be atleast 3-4 times stronger , as the muscle would gain more elasticity and flexibility.
His bones although would not break in this process , would recieve immense pressure and consolidation , fundamentally improoving it's structural defects and deficiencies.
For someone like Rudra , who suffered a phobia of injuries after shattering his arm , this test was going to be a test of facing a pyschological Fear.
The completion of this test was announced when the corrosive energy no longer worked on his body , as he would reach a threshold where his body would be stronger than the corrosiveness of the substance around him.
For this test , 64 tier 3 priests from the church of light would man an array , constantly supplying a steady stream of divine healing energy to the examinee to be healed.
This was also a big reason why people not approved by the church of light could not take the tier promotion exam , as without the priests from the Church , test 3 was not possible.
Naturally with Rudra's status within the Church , Cardinal Lee dispatched the best priests of the entire Church to support his cause , with clear instructions to help Rudra to their best limits.
This is an advantage that Rudra possessed that most people did not.
For gaining the same benefits as Rudra , an average player needed to build fame and reputation points with the Church of light. It took months to years of hardwork and doing tons of quests just to get an approval from one organization.
Much from the state , the church as well as a letter of recommendation from a senior knight.
Even when the majority playerbase did reach level 120 threshold , they would still take another year or two just to step into tier 3. It was simply that difficult.
Hence , it was safe to say that if Rudra jumped to tier 3 , it would be a massive achievement for him that would put him a notch above the majority playerbase for life.
In the two years that they would take to reach tier 3 , he would have already broken into tier 4 and into the demigod realm where only a select few players would ever be able to enter .
Let alone legendary classes , who would be as low as being able to count on one hand.
Hence Rudra was determined to do his best , and make the best of this opportunity before him to improove as well as get promoted.
He took a deep breath as he walked towards the centre of the array where a boiling Balck liquid tub was placed ... Before entering Rudra removed all his equipment and dipped inside with only his guild robe on him , as at the first contact with the corrosive liquid on his body , a jolt of electricity ran down his brain.
This was not what he was expecting .... It was like someone just stepped on his toe completely crushing it , by just having a little of his toe touch the liquid.
Goosebumps rose all over his body , as his mind was into sheer panic mode over what would happen when he would dip inside with his full body.
However , Rudra's desire to become a legendary class player , was wayy above his fear of pain , hence gritting his teeth he settled inside the tub , his skin being ripped apart by the corrosive fluids , putting him in excruciating pain.
The priests immediately started their healing tasks , as Rudra's HP was rapidly depleting , however it stabilized once their injection of healing magic arrived.
Now it was upto Rudra to make the most of this opportunity from here on out ....

( Meanwhile in Nineclouds kingdom )
Hao Mi was pacing around her room , as she read a report on some interesting developments inside the Elites guild hall. Allegedly the guild leader and vice guild leader had a spar turning the guild upside down , however the rumor mill was saying that Karna and Rudra had a massive fallout , as their minds clashed on the best way to approach this war.
This was obviously good news for Hao Mi if it was true , and thinking best about striking iron when it is hot , she wanted to desperately find a way to contact Karna and rope him to her side , and betray the Elites from the inside.
However , the problem was that nobody could reach him . This was a massive headache for her , as she could not understand how difficult it was to find one person in a big city like Purplehaze.
Ofcourse the entire rumor mill about Rudra and Karna falling out was a complete bullshit , but the common people were fools who made a mountain out of a mole and now the situation had went out of control to the point where people believed these lies as the gospel truth.
This misunderstanding would become an immense advantage for the Elites , as the heaven's chosen Karna would have a very lucky encounter.
