Although the other War Gods were unconvinced, they had already agreed with Black God beforehand that they would only stop Jiang Kai from entering the Assessment Hall and would not harm him.
Since they had failed to block Jiang Kai, and Black God had already stepped in, they could only give up.
Black God walked up to Jiang Kai and gave him a small smile. "Still not going in?"
Jiang Kai nodded and followed Black God into the Assessment Hall.
Inside the Assessment Hall were several different sections. Jiang Kai saw several enormous machines.
On the machines were the logos of companies like Golden Compass and Chuangrui. Looked like these tech companies had made them again.
Jiang Kai followed beside Black God, while the nine War Gods followed behind him. The group first headed to the westernmost side of the Assessment Hall.
Jiang Kai asked, "Black God, are there people who reach Transcendent Fifth Rank but still don't become War Gods? Other than eerie-class professionals."
Black God led the way while saying, "What you're talking about is too one sided."
"Actually, our War God Hall also has eerie-class professionals. The reason the eerie professions are called 'eerie' is not only because once they enter their second form, their bodies turn into another form that looks eerie. There's another very important point."
"The way one becomes an eerie-class professional is also very eerie."
Jiang Kai frowned. "Isn't it just that as long as you get the transfer materials and the soul trade contract, that's enough?"
Behind Jiang Kai, a middle aged War God let out a cold snort. "Trade contract? You really know how to name things. There are many ways to make a trade with the Ghost Star."
Black God gave a faint smile. "Force God is right. The biggest difference between transcendent and eerie lies in the soul contract."
"And there are many ways to form a soul contract. You can trade before transfer or after transfer. Think about it. A person who has already transferred into a transcendent profession can turn into an eerie-class professional after completing a soul contract. What does that tell you?" Black God looked at Jiang Kai.
"It tells…" Jiang Kai's brows were tightly drawn. "It tells that transcendent materials and eerie materials are actually the same?"
Black God nodded with a faint smile. "Exactly."
Jiang Kai's eyes widened. He had never imagined that transcendent and eerie were actually connected like this.
Black God continued, "There are many forms of soul contract. As long as the soul trade ratio doesn't exceed 20 percent, and the individual stands on our side, eerie professionals with extraordinary strength can also join the War God Hall. But because they are different from ordinary transcendents and prone to losing control under certain specific environments, they have their own department."
While saying this, Black God even reminded him, "Although the military doesn't entirely reject eerie-class professionals, their requirements are strict. To make the military lower its standards, you can imagine their strength."
Jiang Kai suddenly thought of something and asked, "Back then, I obtained three sets of Seventh Rank Martial Disciple materials, but I only know that Fire God Xiahou Yan is Super Seven. Those other two sets… you didn't give them to… eerie-class professionals, did you?"
Not only the materials Jiang Kai got, but also several sets that appeared at the recent auction, all had unknown whereabouts now.
Black God shook his head with a smile. "I don't know about that. It's top level classified."
"Then, who are the three top powerhouses of Huaxia?" Jiang Kai tried to inquire indirectly.
"You'll know later." Black God shook his head. "We're drifting too far. Back to your first question."
"First, the War God Hall also has eerie professions. Second, even at Transcendent Five, there are still people who can't become War Gods."
"The reason is simple. At Transcendent Five, profession branching appears. During branching, some people lose their combat ability. Even if they meet the level requirement, they can't become War Gods."
Black God sighed deeply. "Actually, I personally think these innate professions are like one's lifelong cultivation path. This is a long distance run, not one thousand meters, not a marathon, but a distance far beyond what any of us can imagine. In the beginning, some rely on family background to take a huge lead. Martial Disciple materials, Soldier materials, basically all can be bought with money, right?"
"However, after some time of tempering, they fail to hone their will. In later competition, they can only fall behind."
"As for this long run, up to now, not a single person has seen the finish line."
Jiang Kai frowned. Black God's analogy resonated with him deeply. Willis, Wei Ying and the others had all mentioned that reaching the transcendent level was the true beginning. This was similar to what Black God was saying. The common point was that they all saw very far ahead.
"All right, we're here. This is the first test."
Jiang Kai looked at the enormous sealed machine before him. From the outside, it looked like a sealed metal room.
"First test of the War God assessment: physical attribute evaluation."
"Jiang Kai, once you go in, the machine will automatically measure your attributes, compare them with the average values of War Gods of the same rank, and give a score."
"In addition, if the soul trade ratio exceeds the limit, the physical state changes will also show. Which means this machine can detect eerie-class professionals."
"Full score is 30." After Black God finished speaking, he opened the machine's hatch and signaled Jiang Kai to go in.
Jiang Kai looked at the machine. As expected, the first test of the War God Hall was to test the profession.
He wondered whether this thing could detect his Heaven's Wrath profession… No matter what, he still walked in.
After entering the test room, an intelligent female voice said, "We will measure your basic attributes based on your body's instinctive reactions to environmental changes. Please remain relaxed. If you experience environmental change, you do not need to suppress your physical reactions."
Jiang Kai loosened all his muscles and waited for the test.
Soon, the test room was filled with large amounts of gas. A moment later, the pressure began to increase.
Jiang Kai frowned. So the test room had turned into a pressure cooker…
Outside the test room, Black God, Force God and the others were observing the test.
Force God stood beside Black God and said coldly, "Foreign countries have already confirmed that some eerie-class professionals will betray humanity. Are you sure you want to bring him into the War God Hall?"
Black God said calmly, "Force God, the test room will give the result soon. Why rush."
"Even if he isn't eerie-class, if he doesn't explain the matter of the Fire Tribulation Pearl clearly, letting him join the War God Hall is too risky!" another War God said. "The War God Hall is one of the most important defense lines protecting the safety of all Huaxia citizens both online and offline!"
Black God nodded. "Cat God, you're right. Exactly because of that, we can't miss out on an exceptional talent."
"Exceptional? That was before!" Force God said disdainfully. "I agree with your analogy earlier. Innate professions are a long distance run with no end in sight for now. Jiang Kai performed impressively before, but after entering the transcendent ranks, he might not stand out like before."
"And letting someone with an unclear background join the War God Hall is a huge danger."
Black God sighed softly. "Force God, others might not know, but you know very well. The War God Hall has reached the point where we have to make a gamble."
At these words, Force God froze, then finally eased up.
After a long moment, he also sighed. "Fine. You and the General both trust him. The procedure fits the War God Hall's rules. I can't stop you. But unless he explains the Fire Tribulation Pearl clearly, we will not accept him."
Just then, the machine produced the first test result.
[Test target, profession path… Transcendent Fifth Rank (Soul Trade Value: 0).]
When this result appeared, Force God, Cat God and the others all frowned.
"Just an ordinary Transcendent Five?"
