Armipotent

[You have cleared the second wave of the Trial of The Epic!]

[The third wave will spawn in an hour!]

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 32 Attribute Points]

[You have reached level 1001!]

Tang Shaoyang was surprised to hear the last three notifications in his head. He thought that he would be stuck at level 1000 until he reached the Epic Rank. He was not expecting to level up while taking the trial.

"Is there something wrong with the system?" Tang Shaoyang could not help but question the system. He confirmed it by checking the window status. His level increased, and the free attribute points increased as well. There was no mistake on the system part.

"Twenty thousand stage-4 monsters and ten thousand stage-5 monsters are just a level for me, huh!?" Tang Shaoyang muttered and looked at Goru the Hobgoblin Champion. The hobgoblin survived the battle but from its appearance, the hobgoblin was completely exhausted. Well, in fact, he was secretly protecting the hobgoblin. He made sure that the monster did not kill his spirit.

He did not know what would happen if the spirit died as most of his spirits were strong enough to survive from the battle he had gone through, "You can go back to Spiritual Space to rest, Goru!"

Goru's slumped-down shoulders immediately straightened up when his Master called his name. The Hobgoblin Champion turned toward the voice, "I am fine, Master! I can still fight!" Despite his short breathing, the hobgoblin did not want to disappoint his Master.

"That's fine. There will be no battle until an hour. You can take a break until then," Tang Shaoyang waved his hand and called the hobgoblin back to the spiritual space. After the hobgoblin disappeared, he then looked at the surroundings. The scattered corpses of the monsters were laying around on the ground, painted the ground red-blood.

He extended his hands wide and cast the skill, [Epic Summoning]. The carcasses broke into red mist and the field was filled with the red mist. It swirled around Tang Shaoyang as the center until it gathered in one place, seven meters ahead of Tang Shaoyang. As the mist was getting denser, a figure came out of the red mist.

The figure was three meters tall with white mohawk hair, pointy ears with big earrings, a big nose, and two white tusks protruding upward from the mouth. He felt familiar with the monster but he was sure that this was his first time seeing the monster.

[You have summoned Grade B Spirit, Trian the Wrath Troll!]

'Ah, no wonder I feel familiar with the monster. This guy is a troll,' He had fought a troll in the Survival Game. But there were a lot of different features between the two trolls. Both had the same tusk, pointy ears, and a big nose. However, Wrath Troll had red skin instead of green skin, and this one had hair while the troll he fought in the survival game did not have hair.

"Can you speak?" Tang Shaoyang did not waste his time to observe the Wrath Troll even more closely. He just wanted directly to contract the spirit.

"I can! Who do you think I am? I am the greatest troll in the world!" The Wrath Troll hit his chest.

"Become my spirit and I can give you a second chance to live your life again. What do you think?" Tang Shaoyang mentioned his offer to the troll. It was a direct offer without coating the offer with sugar-honeyed words, "Or we can fight, everything is the same for me!"

"A second chance to live my life? That's a tempting offer but humans can not be trusted. This Great Troll will not trust you easily," Trial shook his head and showed his contempt to the human, "Let's finish this with a battle of strength!" The Wrath Troll dropped the great-ax in his hand and showed his fist toward Tang Shaoyang, "Let's make this simple. If you have great strength then this Great Troll does not mind serving a strong master!"

"Let's do it!" Tang Shaoyang grinned when the troll mentioned a contest of strength. While the Wrath Troll had an overwhelming size of a fist, it was not enough to deter Tang Shaoyang. Nothing could deter him at this point but Dragon and Gods. Those two existences were the only ones who managed to defeat him before they even fought. He admitted their strength, and he was aware that he could not win against them, at least for now he was weaker than those two.

Tang Shaoyang rushed toward Trian, and Trian did not stay still as well as he rushed toward Tang Shaoyang. This was a fair battle so Tang Shaoyang did not even use his Slayer Energy to ensure his win. The two fists, the big one and the small one clashed.

Dum!

The clash produced noise and then, the Wrath Troll's figure was flung backward. It was not even close. The Wrath Troll rolled around on the ground and stopped over a hundred meters away from Tang Shaoyang.

"Tsk, it's just wrong to expect something against the troll," Tang Shaoyang showed his disappointment on his face while shaking his head. He then extended his hand in Trian's direction. He activated his skill, [Gravity pull], and pulled the three meters troll into his hand.

There was a glowing magic circle on the troll's forehead. It was an indication that the troll had given up. Trian had a shocked expression plastered on his face as the troll still could not believe that he lost against the human.

Tang Shaoyang placed his palm on the magic circle even though the troll had not recovered from the shock.

[You have established a contract with Grade B Spirit, Trian the Wrath Troll!]

The Wrath Troll burst out into a red mist and entered his forehead. The Trial of The Epic was a blessing in disguise for him. He could build his spirit army quickly if he kept killing the monsters for the sacrifices.

Tang Shaoyang located the stone pillar through his [Spirit Eyes] and headed back there. As he headed back, he checked the interface for the third wave.

[Third Wave]

Composition: 30,000 Stage 4 Monsters, and 15,000 Stage 5 Monsters, 1,000 Stage 6 Monsters

Countdown: 01:03:13

"More sacrifices for me," Tang Shaoyang smiled as he looked at the next wave monster's composition, "But the trial is too easy for me. This is suspicious. I thought the trial is significantly harder,"

This was indeed too easy for him. Aside from the overwhelming number of the monster, the monsters were not a threat to him. He felt this was a blessing instead of a trial.

"Now let's think about the free attribute points. Should I max the other attributes or should I let them max out on their own?" Tang Shaoyang was considering the issue, "Will it affect my evolution to Epic Rank if I don't max them out?" That was his concern, did it matter if his other attributes were not maxed out when he reached the Epic Rank.

The news that he could still level up in the trial was good news for him. That meant the other attributes would have a steady increase as the trial went further. He was planning to take more than seven waves of monsters. So he should not be worried about leveling up. The stronger monster also gave more exp to level up.

"Let's use all the Attribute Points now. If all the attributes max out, I can still gather more Attribute Points. It's the same anyway," Tang Shaoyang made his decision. He did not want to take the gamble. If he did not max the attribute he was afraid that he would have a flawed evolution.

"But wait… Roan did not tell me about the max attribute, which meant none of his attributes are maxed out but he still reached the Epic Rank but… He is weak for an Epic Rank," Tang Shaoyang then recalled the strength of Duran Ambrose and Derekh Malone. He believed that both also did not have a max-out attribute before they reached the Epic Rank. That might affect the evolution, becoming a weak Epic Rank. He did not want that to happen to him if the attributes mattered in the evolution.

After Tang Shaoyang made up his mind, he allocated all the attribute points to Vitality, Agility, and Stamina.
