Novel Full Chapter 406 - Promotion Test
Chapter 406 – Promotion Test
Tier 3 promotion quest was different from tier one and two promotion quest in the sense that in the entire nothern continent there were only two cities with Knight halls that offered this test.
Luckily one of them was Purplehaze city. Unlike tier one and two promotion tests , not everyone could take a tier 3 promotion quest from the knight's hall.
One had to fullfill 5 of the 7 criteria to be eligible for undertaking the tier 3 promotion exam.
1) Achieve significant achievements and fame .
2) Have an extremely low infamy record
3) Cannot be an enemy of the state
4) Cannot be a criminal on parole
5) Cannot be an enemy of the Church of light
MUST HAVE :
6) Recommendation from a senior knight to take the exam .
7) Cannot be under level 120
Requirements 1-6 was not difficult for Rudra who was quite famous , and had stacked a mountain of achievements throughout his gaming career.
Infamy was in-applicable to him , and he was already the darling of the state as well as the Church . He also
The knight was a community where every knight was a fellow bretheren . The class specific skills of knight's were also designed in a way that they were stronger when they banded together. Due to this , to get promoted to tier 3 , a player had to have a recommendation letter from a senior knight who was atleast tier 3 .
This was done soo that undeserving candidates or those who were not yet ready to take the exam , could not take it.
Also , if a knight went rogue or broke the community code , it would be the direct responsiblity of the senior knight who recommended him , and hence in this way , there were checks and balances put in place for the Knight's.
However , the noble system naturally got complicated as time went on. Many senior knights had their own test that they gave to young aspirants to undertake , which was known to be very tough to clear , to get that recommendation letter.
Naturally Rudra had Patricia with him , hence he did not have to worry about such useless things as he easily had a recommendation letter with him.
Was it abusing his privilages? Well … No , if anyone deserved that recommendation letter , it was Rudra. His achievements far surpassed any knights in the history of Hazelgroove at the level he was at.
Not even Augustus himself shined as bright as Rudra did at tier 2.
However the real difficult part was not getting the recommendation letter , but the test itself.
Tier 3 was the peak of the mortal stages , before the demigod state at tier 4.
The complication with promoting to tier 3 for Rudra was that , it was tough to clear tier 3 as of itself . However to clear it with a perfect SSS rating ….. Was near impossible.
But if anyone could pull it off , it was Rudra , his stats already far surpassed the tier 3 standard and he had not even activated his golden ratio buff yet.
Rudra was a confident man , but he gulped at the idea that maybe he would get a SS rating. It would spell end of the road for him and his ambitions to get a legendary class.
Rudra hence decided to take the smart way out …. There was nothing in this world as too careful , and although he planned on saving his golden ratio buff as a surprise in the war , he activated it here soo that he would have better odds of clearing the test.

Rudra looked at his stats , and nodded in satisfaction . He was a beast …. No doubts about it.
Tier 3 promotion test was the limit of what Rudra had reached in his previous life. He remembered how he failed 6 times before clearing it. Only to never break past the level 200 barrier before reincarnation.
He knew the inns and outs of how the test worked … He was as prepared as he could be. Determined he walked into the knights training hall in Purplehaze city .

( Meanwhile somewhere in the Ghost kingdom )
" F***** s*** , why is my luck soo trash …. I'm Jhonny English dammnit , this game is broken … Broken I'll tell you ! ". Jhonny cursed . He had been in this labyrinth since The last one month , and no matter where he turned he would always end up being lost.
Currently chasing the legacy of the Ghost King , Jhonny was in an ancient ruin on a quest . The only problem was , that he soon needed to come back to Purplehaze city to the kids before the war started , but the stupid maze just won't end!
But Who was English?
He was a man of Focus , Determination and Sheer F******* will …..
" I GIVE UP! , I give up …. Oooo dumb Ghost King just let me out ….. I can't even find the exit anymore ….. the hell man , i am never entering mazes again " Johnny whined , he was mentally exhausted roaming endlessly in the maze
Just when he changed his approach from finding the ancient ruins to finding the exit …. His trash luck somehow made him stumble onto the most central chamber of the ruins where the ghost kings legacy was placed.
Jhonny looked stunned for a minute , before saying " my plan exactly …. Haha fooled you ghosty ".
Ofcourse since the Ghost King was dead for 2000 years , no reply came back.
A ton of skill scrolls and treasures came at Jhonny's foot at the room , however most importantly , he got the one skill …. A signature skill of the Ghost King , that when coupled with his dagger throwing skills , would make Jhonny a completely balance breaker player.
The skill was called
[ Fade into nothingness] ( Active ) ( Legendary ) : The skill that made the Ghost King a feared existance throughout the continents , as he could simply become nothing as and when he desired , allowing attacks to pass through his body , without delivering even a single bit of damage.
It is an Active skill that consumes mana , which can be controlled at will , and can be used at multiple times without restrictions.
Become nothing , and solidify in a matter of microseconds , combining the ultimate defense with the ultimate attack .
The skill was completely overpowered …. Especially at the hands of someone like Jhonny .
However Jhonny's only reaction to this skill was " Huh , soo they could have just called it Kamui, stupid cuber corporation , can't even plagarize properly ".

( Meanwhile in Nineclouds kingdom )
Hao Mi with her nose cut off was a Rabid dog on steroids , even her most trusted subordinates trembled at the thought of talking to her , with the fear that even blinking may cause her to kill them
Her mood had became completely unstable , as she had opened a lifetime of financial reserves to arm the army to the teeth . Nearly 1 trillion dollars in expenditure.
Although she did not know , most of this went to the Elites who controlled the entire supply chain of the cheap and good quality potions in the market.
However that was beside the point , the triads army was 450,000 strong , filled with major brawlers and experts. It was no longer a gangster war , but a full blown all out war between two factions who simply could not coexist
The sheer size and quality of her army was not inferior to the elites, with the average levels only slightly lower than the elites at 92 .
Equipped with the best armour and swords available on the market , and with equally stocked rations of potions and alchemical materials , neither side had an edge in the preparation aspect of things.
