Allan was in a daze, looking at his Lord with an unbelievable gaze. He was still hoping that his Lord was joking with them, but it looked like he was not joking at all.

"You can ask Ashley if you don't believe me. She and The Third Prince of the Lionax Kingdom were the ones who invaded my world, giving me access to Lukan. Also, the dwarf is currently making the dimensional gate for me. You can come with me to Earth when the Dimensional Gate is finished." Tang Shaoyang explained. He sensed the two old knights did not believe him, so he added more explanation.

At this point, Alton had no choice but to believe his Lord. There was no reason for his Lord to lie to them. There were so many things he wanted to ask, like how could his Lord have two classes, bloodline, and talent? However, he was not in the position to ask that personal question.

Alton thought about his Lord's question: Why was he still at Epic Rank when he was level 2157? From his knowledge, the trial's difficulty depended on the grade of the class. He thought about his condition and Allan's condition when they reached Ancient Rank. Both had one class, one talent, and one bloodline.

"Maybe that's the factor that delays your rank advancement, My Lord. I had one class, talent, and bloodline when I entered the Ancient Rank's trial. What about you, Allan?" Even though it was hard to accept their Lord's strength, Alton continued the conversation by giving off his thoughts.

Allan nodded his head. "It was the same for me." Tang Shaoyang rubbed his chin. Alton's guess was the same as him because he had more things with him that caused to delay the rank advancement. "I have two classes, two talents, and one bloodline now, so maybe I can advance to The Ancient Rank when I reach level 2500."

It was not just a random calculation but based on the total of his class, talent, and bloodline. He told them where that guess came from, and Alton nodded his head in agreement. "It seems that's more likely the condition for the rank advancement."

"But will the equipment be included for the rank advancement? Let's say that I have an Ancient Grade Weapon. Does that mean I need to reach level 3000 for the rank advancement?" Tang Shaoyang thought about the reward from the trial. Equipment was one of the trial rewards, so he thought the equipment might be the factor for the advancement.

"Do you have an Ancient Grade Weapon?" Alton blurted out once again. Epic Grade Weapon and above could not be crafted. Those high-grade weapons only came from the System, so he was pretty shocked as well if his Lord had an Ancient Grade Weapon.

"I don't have that kind of weapon, of course. I am just asking if a high-grade weapon can be a factor in rank advancement." Tang Shaoyang shook his head.

Alton nodded his head and thought about it. It made sense because the high-grade weapon was one of the rewards from the trial. "But wait. Even if you have two classes, two talents, and one bloodline, how could you win against me? I have three classes, one bloodline, and one talent. On top of that, my sword is Myth Rank Weapon."

Alton thought about it, and his Lord was about as strong as Allan, the Primordial Rank. However, that was not the case, and his Lord had surpassed in the term of strength. Especially after his Lord woke up from the slumber that happened in the middle of the fight against him. Alton could feel it from his Lord's aura.

"I told you, all of them are high-grade. I finished the Trial of The Epic to the final wave, to the bonus wave. Then I was offered a high-grade reward from the system. And I chose my second talent there." Tang Shaoyang shared his story about the trial.

"Wait… Wait… Wait…" Alton just realized something fishy with his Lord's wordings. "Are you saying the second talent? Not the second bloodline, right?" Alton saw his Lord nod in response. Alton's eyes went round at the realization. "How is that possible? Talent is supposed to be innate from birth. It's something you were born with, not something you can obtain, My Lord."

"What are you talking about? When you start the game, you can choose a talent too in the smart base. If you want a better talent, you can pay it with a Game Coin. I got my first talent from killing 1000 Undead at the start of the game, and I got the second talent from The Trial of The Epic." Tang Shaoyang looked at Alton weirdly. "Didn't the System offer you a talent when you finish the trial?"

"No, the System only offered me a class, bloodline, and equipment. The System never offered me a Talent as a reward." Alton then looked at Allan, who was in a daze as he listened to the conversation. "What about you, Allan? Did the System offer you a Talent when you finish the trial?"

Allan snapped out of his daze and subconsciously shook his head. "No, the System never offered talent. It's always Bloodline, Class, and Equipment. After I chose the bloodline reward from finishing the Trial of The Epic, the System never offered me another bloodline again as the reward. It's always class and equipment."

Tang Shaoyang did not know that Alton had three classes. It was a surprise to hear that Alton had three classes. He could not use the [Basic Detection] on them because the tool shielded them from the detection. He listened to Alton and Allan's experiences and thought about them.

After thinking about it for a while, Tang Shaoyang looked at Alton. "Did you clear the trial? The thirty waves of monsters?"

Alton and Allan looked at each other. They shook his head as none of them had cleared the trial. "That's the difference. I finish my trial to the final wave. That's why the System offers me Talent."
