10 young men around the age of 15-25 years old looked at each other as soon as they walked out of the portal.
They were curious about their fellow participants as they tried to take a quick scan regarding the cultivation and the strength of others.
Twilight was also the same as he checked out of the other participants and he felt a deep sense of danger from one participant and there was another participant that piqued his attention.
One was wearing red-coloured clothes and standing with a calm look on his face without bothering to check the other participants.
As for the other one, he was wearing a purple-blue mixed-colour armour from shoulder to toe. Unlike the other participants who were checking all the participants, his eyes were solely on the young man who was wearing the red-coloured clothes.
'It looks like I should be careful with that red-clothed young man and as for this armoured dragon, he might also pose a little danger to me.'
Twilight silently noted in his head regarding the two potential participants that could stop him from getting first place.
"Everyone, the rules for this Trial of the Divine Dragons are:"
As everyone was checking out one another, they suddenly heard a voice resound from all directions.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"1) No Killing is allowed amongst the participants. Even if they were to fight with one another, they would be eliminated from the trial."
"2) If you have awakened the Divine Rule with the help of the Sentient Flame, just say it now; otherwise, your backer will be banned from participating in the Trial of the Divine Dragons for the next 100 years."
As saying two rules, the voice paused for a moment to see whether any participant would come forward; however, none came forward.
"As for the last rule, no participant is allowed to use any external sources of powers like weapons, or pills that temporarily boost their strength. If you use them, you will be eliminated instantly."
Soon, the rules of the Trial of the Divine Dragons were explained to the participants, making the participants nod their heads.
"Since the rules of the trial are explained, it is time to explain what you have to do during the trial; however, before that, a few Dragon Emperors are urging us to do something. Please close your eyes and don't open no matter what happens."
Just when the participants thought that they could hear about the trial of the Divine Dragons, they were asked to close their eyes, making them a little disappointed.
However, they still followed without complaining because the Trial of the Divine Dragons was not a joke and the moment they complained about anything, they would be eliminated without any mercy.
'Swoosh'
As soon as they closed their eyes, a huge portal opened and a ghostly figure flew out of the portal.
It was a huge dragon with its entire body transparent; however, it was not the same transparency as the Elemental Spirits.
Instead, it was like a Ghost's transparency.
'Swoosh'
The moment it flew out, it looked at the 10 young men who closed their eyes with an excited look in its eyes.
'I hope at least one of them opens their eyes…keke.'
The Inspector Ghost Dragon silently hoped and evilly chuckled in its heart and started flying through one participant after another.
Even though it could get the process done in a short time, the Ghost Dragon intentionally delayed the process because it was hoping to eat at least one of the participants.
Time continued to pass and the Ghost Dragon took a total of 10 minutes just to pass through the bodies of the 10 participants.
'Sigh…it looks like this batch of participants looks quite sincere, unlike the previous batch.'
With a disappointed look in its eyes, the Ghost Dragon returned to the portal that he came from.
It was disappointing for the Ghost Dragon because according to the contract between the Ghost Dragon and the members of the Dragonheart Society when it was checking whether any of the participants awakened the Divine Rules using the Sentient Flames opened their eyes, he would be paid one Giant Crystal.
Moreover, if it could find anyone who awakened the Divine Rule with the help of the Sentient Flame, it would be rewarded with 100 Giant Crystals.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore returning to the portal, the Ghost Dragon looked at the black sky in the Normal Dark World and shook its head.
"The Ghost Dragon has given you its green signal regarding your Divine Rules. Whoever among the participants awakened the Divine Rules, they awakened it on their own without the help of the Sentient Flames…Congratulations."
After the Ghost Dragon entered the portal, the familiar ancient voice resounded in all directions as it congratulated the participants who awakened their Divine Rules.
As for how many participants awakened the Divine Rules, no one excluding the Ghost Dragon knows; however, the Ghost Dragon is not supposed to tell them.
'Phew'
Hearing those words, two young men heaved a sigh of relief as they looked at each other and smiled.
"Since there is no one who is cheating in this Trial of the Divine Dragons, it is time to learn what you will be doing in the trial."
The Voice paused for a moment and started explaining,
"Just like the previous trials of the Divine Dragons, the soul of the trial didn't change and it was none other than collecting the Darkfire Crystals from the Darkfire Wraiths."
"However, unlike the previous trials, there were some modifications in the trial. So, from now on, please listen carefully as I won't be explaining it once again."
The Voice asked for their attention before saying the changes in this time's Trial of the Divine Dragons.
"Once a participant collects 1000 low-level Darkfire crystals, they could exchange them to gain access to any of the 14 other Normal Dark Worlds."
"The second modification in the trial is allowing a participant to challenge one of his fellow participants and all he has to do is to find a Divine Dragon Flag."
