"We’ve arrived. This is the Promotion Ground. It doesn’t belong to the normal game but is a specially developed game world.
The Undead Mage’s promotion to Level 10 is quite simple. Just go in, show off your Bone Dragon or Ghost Dragon, complete a task, and you’re done.
No matter the difficulty of the task, it doesn’t affect the player’s promotion.
After all, the direction is already set at Level 5. The path afterwards is just to follow through, with not many branches."
When sending Gu Xi to the Promotion Ground, Wang Yongshou specially instructed about the situation there.
But Gu Xi just listened to his words casually.
Gu Xi knows very well that the higher the task’s difficulty, the greater the benefits during promotion.
Otherwise, why would Gu Xi abandon the Promotion Ground of the Chaoyang Radiance Guild and specifically complete the task in Bailian City to get the opportunity to use Bailian City’s Promotion Ground?
Would you really think Gu Xi is rushing without wanting to queue?
That’s simply impossible.
Gu Xi understands his own situation clearly.
He has already laid the foundation and cannot let any issues arise during promotion that might affect future development.
After waving goodbye to Wang Yongshou, Gu Xi turned around and entered the Promotion Ground.
Unlike the Teleportation Gate Plaza in the game, the Promotion Ground here doesn’t have activated or inactivated portals.
After all, this doesn’t belong to the normal game.
Gu Xi, holding the entry certificate, wandered nearby the Promotion Ground.
Inside the Promotion Ground are huge pits over ten meters in diameter.
There are very obvious signposts in front of the pits.
"Death Knights, please wear full heavy armor and ride the Death Warhorse to jump in. Undead Mages, please release your Bone Dragon, and enter with it paving the way."
"Please pay attention to the glow beneath the passage. White is simple, purple is the most difficult. Choose according to your own strength."
Gu Xi, holding the watch-like certificate, looked around.
Gu Xi is certain that the watch certificate in his hand allows him to enter any of the promotion passages.
He needs to choose a passage of superior quality to enter.
After wandering a half-circle around the Promotion Ground, Gu Xi stood oddly near a Blue Quality promotion passage.
Despite his immunity to psychic attacks, Gu Xi can clearly feel that the surface of the passage ahead is emitting a kind of psychic fluctuation.
Don’t come here, choose the purple passage.
If it were an ordinary Undead Mage, they might be directly guided by such power.
But for Gu Xi, this kind of psychic power is completely useless.
It doesn’t even manage to catch his attention.
Gu Xi is curious whether this method of guiding someone with psychic power is targeted, or if all passages are set up this way?
Thus, Gu Xi quietly activated the effect of the Spirit Lamp.
First, he automatically used the ability of Mind Shield to hide himself from others’ vision.
Then, Gu Xi borrowed the sight of the Spirit Lamp to inspect the surroundings.
Gu Xi discovered that not all passages have been affected.
Only a concentrated area of passages had psychic power laid in all of them.
The rest were only a few special passages with such psychic influence.
After turning around, Gu Xi found that most passages with psychic influence were meant to prevent him from jumping down.
Only a single passage emitted psychic waves hoping Gu Xi would choose it.
With a quick thought, Gu Xi understood the situation.
Someone made manipulations, trying to control his fate.
However, Gu Xi is no fool. After realizing this, he naturally wouldn’t jump into the designated passage.
He’s not the kind of person who charges headlong.
He never intended to jump into traps knowingly, counting on his skills to deal with enemy traps.
In Gu Xi’s mind, playing it safe and completing the promotion task calmly is the best approach. After reaching Level 10, he would then deal with those who dared to secretly scheme against him.
After all, Gu Xi isn’t known for his good temper.
Anyone daring to plot against him, if he can defeat them, he definitely won’t give them a chance to live another day.
After circling here, Gu Xi pretended to be influenced by psychic power and headed towards the passage selected by the enemy.
As Gu Xi approached the purple passage, he suddenly stumbled, inadvertently falling into a nearby passage.
Gu Xi dropped into a Blue passage that was still some distance from the purple passage.
This particular passage wasn’t very conspicuous among its neighbors.
But Gu Xi noticed that this passage was deliberately set with a psychic influence preventing approaching players from entering.
He realized this passage is the most suitable for him to enter.
Because this passage is further away from the Promotion Ground appointed by his enemies.
It’s not included in the group of passages nearby the Promotion Ground.
In other words, a normal person following psychic guidance wouldn’t notice this passage.
There is absolutely no need for these psychic effects here by normal standards.
The reason they laid such effects here is solely because they want to prevent Gu Xi or others from coming near.
This shows that although the task below offers Blue level, the passage’s quality is quite high.
It’s some small trick by the administrators here for promotion by high-level members or noble family heirs.
Behind such Promotion Ground lies simplicity in tasks, good rewards, and a passage with high cost-effectiveness.
This passage is Gu Xi’s top choice.
As for the passages steered by enemies, they can be left empty.
Jumping into the passage, Gu Xi pointed downward the moment he entered.
"Death Incarnation!"
Gu Xi’s Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon appeared beside him.
With the arrival of Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon, Gu Xi felt his falling speed slow significantly.
At the same time, distorted lights appeared all around.
This feeling was somewhat similar to when Gu Xi entered the Phase Passage earlier.
But Gu Xi understood that this couldn’t be a Phase Passage.
He’s just here for a simple promotion, not reaching such a level.
Indeed, in the next instant, a ding sound echoed by Gu Xi’s ear.
It resembled the sound of glass being shattered.
Next, Gu Xi’s Death Incarnation - Bone Dragon curled up beside him, protecting him as they descended.
When Gu Xi regained his senses, he found himself standing on strange land.
The land in front was filled with the Aura of Death, and upon looking up at the sky, deep blue lightning occasionally streaked across.
Such an environment seemed familiar to Gu Xi, stirring a thought in his mind, causing him to murmur.
"Yellow Springs Road?"
