"Good, finally level 30. I can use the legendary sub-skills now," Lein was very pleased with his level-up.

His average attributes were now above 3000 points. Each level-up from 20 to 30 granted 250 points, and his golden sword also added complete attributes because it was a growth-type weapon.

"Hahaha... Everything from that crowned man is excellent," Lein said, recalling the crowned man during his promotion to level 1.

He had previously considered giving the sword to Nita, but she had refused because she didn\'t like close combat.

"Nita, have you reached level 30 yet?" Lein asked, looking at Nita beside him.

"Yes, brother. My average attribute is around 2800," Nita explained.

Lein found it reasonable, considering Nita\'s weapon was slightly inferior.

Not long after leveling up, the system\'s voice sounded again.

[Having reached level 30, the Core Formation Trial is now available.]

Lein didn\'t expect that the trial conditions would only be revealed upon reaching level 30. He then opened the description of the Core Formation Trial.

(Core Formation)

The ruler will undergo a trial to form the sacred sword core (core crystal - swordsman).

- Trial duration: 1 hour

- Completion rate: 10% grants a 10% attribute buff, 20% grants a 20% attribute buff, up to 100% completion granting a 100% attribute buff.

"So vague, it doesn\'t even explain what the trial is like," Lein was slightly annoyed with the notification this time.

"Brother, it\'s better to wait until your talent cooldown is over, then take the trial," Nita suggested.

She also received the same information as Lein. As usual, Lein would take the trial first and then inform her of its contents afterward.

"Yes, you\'re right..."

"By the way, how\'s the association doing?" Lein asked.

He didn\'t pay much attention to the Alliance\'s development; all reports were directly given to Nita through private chat.

"It\'s doing well and developing rapidly."

"We\'ve established branch stores in the top 30 alliances. All thanks to Sister Hana and her team\'s help," Nita continued.

She then explained the progress of branch store construction and portal development, as well as the internal development of the alliance.

The World Market Alliance was now known by many people for the goods they sold. Besides being cheap, the quality was not inferior either.

Additionally, the internal alliance had formed several divisions, such as the training division, defense division, intelligence division, logistics division, research division, and several others. All division heads were selected based on their strength and talents, averaging at grade A. There was even a grade S talent head in the intelligence division.

The alliance\'s total members currently exceeded 12,000. They came from various regions, but generally from the same region as Lein and Nita.

Nita then informed Lein about the developments of other alliances. The top human alliances had formed an organization called the Human Unity Organization. This organization served as a cooperation platform among alliances and was led by the American Alliance.

"What do you think, brother? Should we join?" Nita asked while chewing her food.

"Of course, as long as it doesn\'t cause any harm. The more connections, the better," Lein replied.

"Okay," Nita agreed.

Nita continued explaining and chatting with Lein until late at night before they finally went to bed.

***

Morning, Main Hall of the city.

On a vast sports field full of green grass, a girl in sportswear was jogging around the field. The sunlight shone on her body, and sweat dripped from her.

"Ugh... So tired," she said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Not far away, a young man was doing push-ups beside the field. His arms were full of muscle without any fat, and his sweat-drenched body added to his charm.

Yes, the girl and the young man were Lein and Nita, doing their morning exercise routine. Morning exercise was very refreshing and healthy.

They exercised until 7 a.m., then had breakfast.

"Brother, when will you take the trial?" Nita asked from across the dining table.

"Mmmm... Soon. Maybe after breakfast..." Lein replied.

He had done a lot of preparation before bed last night, especially his talent skill, which was ready to use.

A few moments after breakfast, Lein entered the Core Formation Trial.

[The ruler will enter the Core Formation Trial, confirm?]

"Yes."

Immediately, in Nita\'s view, Lein disappeared without warning or trace.

"Good luck, brother," Nita muttered hopefully.

She knew her brother would be fine and had very high attribute points.

But still, she couldn\'t shake the worry in her heart.

Not wanting to stay idle at the dining table, Nita then left the Main Hall to check on the city\'s development, the alliance, and other important matters.

Meanwhile, in a strange place he had never been to, Lein appeared on an endless green plain.

Without warning, a system notification appeared.

[Core Formation Trial has begun. Countdown 1 hour starts now.]

Time remaining: 59:58

Time remaining: 59:47

...

"I have to hurry," Lein said.

But he was confused, not knowing what to do! What core was the system referring to?

Lein felt frustrated. Two minutes had already passed. He had tried running in one direction, using skills, and asking the system.

But there was no answer.

"Huft..." Lein felt like he had an idea. He tried to relax and calm himself.

He focused his mind inward on his body.

"Just as I thought."

He saw an object resembling a sword inside his body. However, the object seemed unreal and only appeared faintly.

[Holy Sword Core opened... Completion 0%]

The sudden appearance of the system panel broke Lein\'s focus. When he opened his eyes, he saw a monster resembling an ant emerging not far from him.
