Chapter 2738 End of the Second Inheritance Phase


    At the end of the 77th floor of the tower of the True Celestial''s special dimension...


    Minos left his room after taking the opportunity to cultivate and study his current goals, waiting for the passage to the next floor to open.


    ''The inheritance will end on the 78th floor.'' He remembered what he had sensed earlier as his eyes turned toward the three rooms that were still to bepleted on this current floor.


    The other eight rooms, including his own, were already glowing green, while some were already open and others were closed, with their users making use of their opportunities.


    Of the three remaining rooms, one was precisely the one chosen by Forfex.


    ''Is this guy going to make it?'' Minos wondered, without using his powers to find out the final oue of this phase of the selection.


    But he knew that someone among thest three would fail and that would be the end of the test on the next floor.


    Soli left her room in sess and walked over to Minos, ignoring the stares of the broli head man.


    "Is the challenge really going to end on the next floor? Are you sure about that?" she asked him, unconcerned about their ultimate moments there.


    As one of the most mentally gifted of the entire inheritance, Soli could go much further in this challenge than the floor they were standing on now.


    "Yes, definitely." Minos didn''t look at her much as she stared at him.


    With a sigh, she thought about how it would be time to go home and have a good time before the next stage of thepetition.


    ''I have to monitor those two. If they''re really able to track us down, I''ll have to get ready to wee them.'' She thought to herself, not so worried about Minos now, given how uninterested he seemed in hunting down opponents outside of the heritage. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    But she didn''t doubt that Minos could repeat what that blind man and the sentient nt being had already done.


    ''But I believe that they will stand against each other. I don''t think I need to worry so much about theming after me... In fact, it''s possible that they''ll all kill each other and I''ll be the favorite for the next round.'' She tried to be optimistic as she looked in the same direction as Minos.


    "Sigh! That''s a shame."


    "What''s a shame?" She didn''t understand and looked at Minos again, doubt drawn across her face.


    "The test isn''t over until we enter a floor where only 10 of us will have the option ofpleting the rooms. That means someone has to fail on ater floor, i.e., the 77th floor." He indicated by showing two new rooms that had turned green.


    ''Is that Forfex''s room?'' she wondered as she remembered earlier when they had arrived there.


    Minos shook his head as he walked towards that room. "Forfex''s rivals have seeded him, so he will probably fail. It looks like he won''t be in our group in the next inheritance phase."


    And indeed, that''s what happened in the next few moments.


    When the clock for the opening of the 78th floor ticked down to five minutes, Forfex left his room, still glowing a shade of gray, with a deathly pale expression.


    Soli asked Minos, "You seem to care about this. Why? Even though we were your allies, we''re enemies at the end of the day."


    "That may be so. But Forfex has been my ally for all those years. Even though we werepetitors, I still spent centuries of my life with him as my ally. It''s a shame to see him fall like this," Minos exined.


    He had had few friends in his life. But Forfex had been one of them, despite their circumstances.


    Even if he would notin to the universe about Forfex''s downfall, he preferred the guy toe out of this inheritance alive. Whether they would one day face each other and actually be enemies could be left to the future.


    Seeing Minos and Soli approaching him, Forfex no longer had the strength to do much. He didn''t have the confidence to fight there, aware that the others were stronger than him and more talented. In fact, he had only made it this far in the challenge because Minos and Soli had helped himplete the first levels of the tower perfectly, which gave him the chance to go further than his abilities would naturally allow.


    To his misfortune, 10 individuals superior to him reached the 77th floor.


    "And here ends my journey, I suppose," Forfex muttered with difficulty.


    Minos stopped beside him and greeted him onest time, seeing out theirst minute on this floor.


    "Whatever your fate, good luck, Forfex. You''ve performed fantastically so far."


    Forfex shook Minos'' dominant hand, feeling awkward, naturally, but thanking the favorite of this heritage foring to him.


    Even if Minos stopped time for him to act and get a badge, it wouldn''t help him, as he had exhausted himself severely trying toplete hisst test. While his rivals had been victorious and won opportunities to cultivate for a fewst minutes, he had only deteriorated himself.


    If Forfex had to fight now, he would lose, even with the help of Soli and Minos.


    That''s why he didn''t make any foolish requests and thanked Minos with a handshake.


    Forfexughed as he took a ne from around his neck and handed it to Minos. "I''m afraid my fate won''t be very good... I''d better leave my inheritance to someone who can use it.


    Use what I''ve achieved in life to win this inheritance, Minos. Although I''m not as good a cultivator as you and the others, I''ve earned my merits, too." He tried to smile at the end.


    Minos epted without problems and soon afterwards, the passage to the next floor opened.


    "Goodbye." Soli said as he followed Minos, while Forfex was the only one left behind.


    The passage to that floor closed, and darkness covered itpletely.


    The group of 10 remaining individuals reached the 78th floor, where they arrived and found the True Celestial waiting for them.


    "Very well. You are the finalists for my inheritance. Congrattions to all of you for the excellent performances you''ve shown so far," The owner of the inheritance said with a smile on his face.


    "You will have this floor free to cultivate for a period of one year before you return to where you came from. Make good use of it. The next time we see each other will be in the finals, and one of you wille to the Upper Realm with me."


    With those words, the blond man disappeared, leaving without saying anything.


    The remaining 10 didn''t speak to each other and were soon in their respective rooms enjoying theirst opportunities in this inheritance phase!
