Landlord World - Start with SSS talent

Vylyss was standing before Noan, feeling an immense surge of power.

She raised her hand, and a dark energy sphere appeared like a tennis ball and hovered above her palm like a tennis ball.

"Vylyss, follow me into the trial space. I can only bring you with me this time," Noan said. "I hope you will do your best."

Upon hearing Noan, Vylyss immediately became serious. She furrowed her brows and replied, "Yes, Master. I will not disappoint you. I swear on my life."

Noan, seeing Vylyss' expression, understood why she was so determined.

After letting Vylyss enter the 'Combat Simulation Room' to truly control her power after the upgrade, he immediately commanded the System: "Accept mission to select Class."

[Ding! You may bring one hero into the trial space. Who will you choose?]

"Vylyss!" Noan answered without hesitation. Currently, Vylyss is the strongest hero he owns, and he would choose her.

[Ding! Starting transfer to the trial space, please wait a moment.]

Moments later, Noan noticed the space around him starting to change.

A few seconds later, he realized that he and Vylyss were standing in front of a tower over a hundred meters tall, surrounded by fog, preventing them from seeing anything further.

Vylyss wanted to use magic to scan the surroundings but was immediately hindered by a mysterious force.

"Ack!" Vylyss clutched her head, feeling an intense pain, as if someone were hammering it with a mallet.

Noan, seeing this, quickly placed his hand on her shoulder: "Don't scan the surroundings. This is not a dangerous place."

Indeed, he had learned at the Lord Academy that this place was not dangerous.

However, that was true only if you didn't wander off. If not, the fog around you would make you regret your decision.

Vylyss, hearing this, embarrassingly nodded.

Noan lowered his head, looking at the bracelet still on his wrist, feeling a strange bewilderment.

He had to know that this bracelet was the Abyss Cube and a hero he had summoned.

However, the bracelet was still on his wrist when entering this space. This meant that he could bring two heroes with him.

Although it was hard to understand, this was beneficial to him. With the Abyss Cube by his side, his strength would increase significantly.

Noan led Vylyss to the gate of the tower. Just then, a system notification appeared before him.

[Ding! Do you wish to enter the Trial Tower?

Note: If you abandon the trial halfway, you will fail. The score will be recorded at the last floor you passed.]

Noan nodded and said, "Accept!"

Krit!

Immediately after, the massive gate, over four meters high, slowly opened with a heavy creak.

However, even though the gate was fully open, the interior was still shrouded in darkness.

Vylyss, cautious, followed closely behind Noan as they entered the tower.

[Ding! Please present your Lord ID card.]

Noan took the card from his 'Storage Space.' Just then, a beam of light scanned the card, and another notification appeared.

[Ding! Confirmed: Lord Noan - Rank F, Level 03.

Hero accompanying - Vylyss (Succubus) Rank D, Level 03.]

"What?!" Noan was slightly confused, looking back at the system's notification again.

Indeed, the system displayed his information, but besides his rank, all the other details were from when he had just become a Lord.

"Could it be that the information on the Lord ID card hasn't been updated since my evolution?" Noan muttered.

He knew he was now a Level 3 Lord - Rank E+, while Vylyss was already a 3- Rank B hero.

The difference between Rank B and Rank D was vast, like comparing a neon light to moonlight.

Noan frowned, unsure if this discrepancy in the information would affect his participation in the Class Selection Trial.

[Ding! First challenge - Begin!]

As soon as the system notification appeared, two dark figures appeared before Noan.

Although their shapes were indistinct, Noan could immediately recognize that they were versions of himself and Vylyss but completely blacked out.

"That's..." Noan flinched, not expecting the Trial Space to involve fighting against the doppelgängers of himself and Vylyss.

"Vylyss, you..."

BAM!

BAM!

Before Noan could say anything, Vylyss raised her hand, and two chains immediately pierced through the heads of the dark figures.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the first challenge. Now transferring to the next floor.]

Noan: "..."

"Wait! Vylyss, why did you rush like that?"

Hearing Noan's question, Vylyss gave him a confused look: "Heh?! Master, I thought those dark figures were too weak, so I wanted to finish it as quickly as possible."

"Weak?!" Noan frowned and asked, "You could sense the strength of those dark figures?"

"That's right," Vylyss nodded and said, "The one that looks like you is just an ordinary person, nothing worth mentioning."

"And the dark figure of me is just a copy from when I was a Succubus Rank D, only slightly higher in rank, maybe also level 3."

Noan, hearing this, was a bit surprised and muttered, "So that means... this is a bug?"

Although this was a bug, it was a bug that worked in his favor. Passing the entire Trial Tower would be possible if the subsequent floors were based on his rank and level from the Lord ID card.

At that moment, he and Vylyss were transferred to the second floor. On this floor, he saw four dark figures.

One was a copy of himself, and the other three were copies of Vylyss.

However...

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The four explosions rang out, and before the system notification could even appear, Vylyss destroyed the four figures.

Noan: "..."

With Vylyss's output being that high, Noan should be happy about it.

[Ding! Congratulations on passing the second challenge. You will be transferred to the third floor.]

Noan sighed, feeling that the trial was easier than he had expected. No, if the system had copied his current information, then he would probably be stuck on the third floor at most.

Fortunately, there was a glitch in the system, or else he wouldn't have been able to reach the third floor so easily.

On the third floor, Noan saw a copy of himself, slightly stronger than the previous one, along with five copies of Vylyss.

However, the five copies of Vylyss seemed slightly stronger.

If on the second floor, Vylyss's copy was Rank D, Level 3, then now they were probably Rank D+, Level 3.

However... even then, it wasn't enough to defeat Vylyss, who easily destroyed those dark figures.

[Ding! Congratulations on setting a new record for the fastest time to pass the third challenge.]

[Ding! Congratulations on passing the third challenge. Preparing for transfer to the fourth floor.]

Noan frowned and asked, "System, will my name be announced after I set a new record?"

[Ding! You have the right to hide your identity. Do you wish to hide your identity?]

"Use the identity concealment feature."

[Ding! Identity concealed successfully.]

Seeing the system notification, Noan let out a small sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the system had the function to hide his identity. If his name had been revealed, it would have caused him a lot of trouble.

From the fourth floor to the seventh, both Vylyss and Noan passed easily, and of course, on each floor, Vylyss helped him set a new record.

Floor 8.

The space was no longer black but a somewhat strange area at this point.

Beneath his feet was a layer of water about 5 cm deep, stretching almost endlessly.

Above, the night sky was filled with stars, but there were three moons in the sky, each with a different color.

[Ding! Starting the eighth challenge.]

A magical circle appeared in the sky right after the system notification disappeared.

Then, from within the magical circle, two dark figures materialized.

As before, one dark figure was a copy of Noan, and the other was a copy of Vylyss.

"Master, be careful," Vylyss spoke up, "Although fewer of them than before, my copy seems to have reached Rank C+, and your copy has become much stronger as well."

At that moment, Vylyss's copy raised her hand, and a chain shot out from her palm, flying toward Noan at an incredibly high speed.

Keng!
