Gacha pull: I obtained a god-level talent.

After the college entrance examination, all the candidates were teleported back to their respective schools, except for Zhang Yuan, who was taken by Chen Yun to the Central Trial Tower in Kyoto.

This central trial tower is different from the light tower in Donghai City. It is twice the size, magnificent and exquisite, and its interior is filled with incredibly terrifying energy.

Every year during the National College Entrance Examination, the Great Xia Empire would bring the top scorers from across the country to the Central Trial Tower, where they would receive corresponding rewards based on their scores.

"Zhang Yuan, don't be nervous. I brought you here just so you can draw a reward. There's nothing else."

Standing next to Zhang Yuan, Chen Yun sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk... 1.1 million points, I can't even imagine what your reward will be."

"Teacher Chen, is the top scorer reward random?" Zhang Yuan asked curiously.

“You could say that.” Chen Yun nodded. “This Central Trial Tower is the main body of the light tower you saw in Jiangnan Province. In fact, it is also one of the national treasures of our Great Xia Empire, and its internal space contains countless treasures.”

"Every year, the top scorer in the national college entrance examination has the opportunity to obtain a treasure from the Central Trial Tower. The more points you get in the college entrance examination, the more valuable the treasure you will obtain. Moreover, this is different from drawing cards in the Destiny Star Array with God Stones. Here, the worst treasure you can draw is an epic-level equipment!"

"So generous?" Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Of course! After all, you're the top scorer in the country, and only one person gets that title every year, so how could the reward be small?"

Chen Yun led Zhang Yuan to a golden vortex with a radius of one meter and said to Zhang Yuan, "Put your hand in, and whatever you pull out is your reward."

"I understand."

Zhang Yuan nodded and reached his hand into the golden vortex.

boom! ! !

The moment Zhang Yuan reached in, the golden vortex instantly turned into a red vortex, with lightning flashing around it and terrifying energy constantly overflowing outwards!

Zhang Yuan felt as if he had encountered something extraordinary, so he immediately grabbed it and tried to pull it out.

The next moment, the entire central trial tower began to shake violently, and the energy within the tower began to surge.

"This is……"

Chen Yun, who was behind, sensed the ominous energy surging within the central trial tower. As if realizing something, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately said, "Zhang Yuan, don't take anything out of the vortex!"

Unfortunately, it was too late when Chen Yun said this. Zhang Yuan pulled a black, cracked short blade from the red vortex!

boom! ! !

The short blade suddenly unleashed a terrifying curse power, instantly blasting Chen Yun away and piercing Zhang Yuan's chest at the same time. The endless curse power directly devoured Zhang Yuan!

"It's over!"

Seeing Zhang Yuan being consumed by the power of the curse, Chen Yun's face showed despair. "Why? How could that child pull out the Cursed King's Blade that was suppressed by the divine artifact?"

【Cursed King's Blade (Damaged): The wielder is cursed, continuously reducing their stamina and mental strength until death. It is forcibly equipped, cannot be discarded, and cannot be destroyed.】

[Artifact Quest: Use the Blade of the Cursed King to reap the souls of the weak (0/100000)]

[Note: This is the weapon of the Cursed King, containing his boundless resentment. Only those who can withstand the wrath of the Cursed King can ascend his throne!]

Amidst the overwhelming power of the curse, Zhang Yuan looked at the Cursed King's Blade embedded in his chest and couldn't help but complain, "How come this thing only has negative effects? Where are its attributes and skills? It even has a divine artifact quest... Could this be a legendary or higher-level piece of equipment?"

Because Zhang Yuan had a cursed heart, the curse effect of the Cursed King's Blade turned into a positive effect. Now, the Cursed King's Blade piercing his chest not only did not cause him any harm, but also allowed him to continuously recover his physical strength and mental strength.

He didn't even feel any pain.
