Five days passed quickly.

Today is the final day of the assessment.

Due to the unique nature of this trial, where the first and second assessments are conducted simultaneously, rankings will be temporarily determined based on the number of Jade Talismans each participant possesses.

Moreover, before the assessment began, the Honored Guest Elder from the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty's Royal Family, Zhong Wuchang, had informed everyone that as long as they could survive this Ancient Ruins, they would be directly promoted to the third round.

This means that all those still alive have already passed the first two rounds of the assessment, and once they leave these Ancient Ruins, they can directly enter the ranking battle of the third round.

During these five days, Wang Ruoxie not only fully recovered his Soul Power and injuries but also spent the time seizing others' Jade Talismans, visiting the Ancient Altar a few times to exchange for some Treasure Resources.

Now, his Cultivation has been elevated to the Eighth Layer of the Essence Pill Realm, significantly enhancing his power from before.

Unfortunately, unless he obtains a large number of Jade Talismans to exchange for Treasure Resources of Celestial Tier or better at the Ancient Altar, or even higher-tier items like the Blood of Ten Thousand Demons,

It would be nearly impossible for him to continue advancing to break through to the Ninth Layer of Essence Pill Realm.

Through these five days of seizing, Wang Ruoxie realized his previous assumptions were incorrect.

He had initially thought only the nearly thousand people who fought with him over the Soul Boat would survive, but it turned out at least ten thousand are still alive.

And he realized he wasn't the only one who had seized a warship.

Obviously, numerous warships from ancient times still remain within the Ancient Ruins.

As far as he knew, at least dozens of people had seized warships of varying tiers.

Yet, most of the warships seized by these individuals are merely of the Celestial Tier, with only a few reaching the Lower Grade of the Saint Tier.

More importantly, only his warship is of the higher tier Soul Boat.

Even so, for those individuals, their gains are still astonishing, as the value of these warships far surpasses ordinary Celestial Tier treasures.

Moreover, their Cultivation Power has also greatly improved.

As Zhong Wuchang mentioned before, this trial is a tremendous opportunity for everyone.

"Buzz…"

At this moment, the space suddenly trembled.

Then everyone saw a huge Light Gate appear above them.

"The assessment is over; we can leave now."

Everyone knew this Light Gate was the passage Zhong Wuchang opened for them, and they could leave the Ancient Ruins and return to Ruins City by entering it.

Without hesitation, everyone took flight and rushed into the enormous Light Gate.

Some stood on their warship's deck, maneuvering their large warships slowly into the Light Gate.

Wang Ruoxie glanced at the vast Light Gate in the sky before he trembled slightly and followed the crowd inside.

Soon, everyone noticed they had returned to the plaza in Ruins City.

"Congratulations, everyone, for passing the first and second rounds of the assessment."

At this moment, Zhong Wuchang looked at nearly ten thousand people in the field and said loudly, "Throughout this assessment, all of your Cultivation Powers have received significant upgrades."

"Additionally, some have obtained warships of considerable tiers, making their gains remarkable."

"Next, the third and final round of the trial, the ranking battle, will take place."

As Zhong Wuchang's voice faded, sharpness flared in everyone's eyes. They participated in this Eastern Domain trial not only to secure a spot in the Black Dragon Guard but to compete against the top talented powerhouses from the Five Domains of Yun Province.

As such, this ranking battle in the third round is their chance to contend against numerous elite talents.

"The ranking on this Jade Disc reflects your current temporary standings."

Zhong Wuchang glanced at a towering Jade Disc nearby and spoke again.

Everyone turned to look and saw rows of faintly radiant text on the enormous Jade Disc.

"First place: Gongsun Rong."

"Second place: Guan Zhihe."

"Third place: Meng Qiwai."

...

"Rank 9237: Qi Bo."

Soon, everyone found their names and corresponding ranks.

They knew these standings were only temporary and didn't represent much, nor did they reflect the disparity in personal power.

This is because during the previous assessment, many people exchanged their Treasure Resources for Jade Talismans, while others converted most of their Jade Talismans into Treasure Resources to improve their Cultivation Power.

Therefore, they weren't particularly concerned about the rankings on the Jade Disc.

"Rank 32."

Wang Ruoxie naturally saw his name and found himself temporarily ranked thirty-second.

To him, this ranking was inconsequential, for he knew his current strength could easily break into the top three or even seize first place without any issue.

Moreover, with a Saint Tier middle-grade Soul Boat, he had lost much interest in joining the Black Dragon Guard.

Even though joining the Black Dragon Guard meant receiving Pure Yang Pill rewards, with his current Cultivation, it would be nearly impossible to further enhance his Realm without a significant amount of Pure Yang Pills, much less break through to the Acupoint Condensation Realm.

He could fully rely on the Soul Boat to venture out of the Five Domains of Yun Province and explore the broader world beyond.

There, he would surely find more and better Treasure Resources, accelerating his Cultivation Power's growth compared to joining the Black Dragon Guard.

"Now, the ranking battle officially begins. Those with lower ranks can freely challenge those ranked above them; win and advance, lose and be eliminated."

Zhong Wuchang spoke to everyone: "Ultimately, the top hundred will join me to head to the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty and join the Black Dragon Guard."

"Kid, I challenge you."

After Zhong Wuchang finished, a young man of Ninth Layer Essence Pill Realm walked directly to Wang Ruoxie and said coldly.

"Challenge me?"

Wang Ruoxie smiled faintly, then nodded, stepping forward to the center of the plaza with the young man.

The two faced each other, standing quietly there.

"Kid, dare to wager with me?"

The young man suddenly stepped forward, approaching Wang Ruoxie and whispered.

"How would we wager?"

Wang Ruoxie was slightly taken aback, then asked.

"If I win, you'll give me that warship, how about that?"

The young man's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke again.

"And what if you lose?"

Wang Ruoxie gazed teasingly at the young man and asked.

"Impossible for me to lose. You're merely at the Eighth Layer of Essence Pill Realm, incapable of being my opponent."

The young man arrogantly stared at Wang Ruoxie and said, "However, I can promise you; if you lose and give me the warship, I'll spare your life."

"Idiot."

Upon hearing the young man's words, Wang Ruoxie slowly uttered a mocking reply.
