Chapter 1617: 1617 **Chapter 1617: Certification, Third-Level Rune Master** In the Human Emperor Network, a magnificent golden tower stood tall. Lin To others, it was just a very exquisite and luxurious tower. But in Lin Moyu’s eyes, he saw deeper information. No matter where you are, this world is full of rules and restrictions. Even in the Human Emperor Network, it is the same. Many forces and families have corresponding territories in the Human Emperor Network. But the splendor of the buildings is not something you can decide at will. What determines all this is Divine City merits, the total Divine City merits of the force. The more Divine City merits, the more territory and permissions you can have. From the tower of the Rune Master Association, it was clear that the association’s Divine City merits had reached an astonishing level. This also indicated that the Rune Master Association had countless strong individuals. The tower was covered with countless runes, all of which were shining brightly. Lin Moyu glanced at it with his "130" eyes, knowing that these runes were virtually created by the Human Emperor Network, and they possessed powerful abilities within the network. The entire tower was actually a powerful rune array. Once activated, its combat power would be astonishing. Lin Moyu believed that there must be a similar tower in the real world. In fact, many affairs in the Human Emperor Network could find their prototypes in reality. Lin Moyu approached the tower, and the door automatically opened. He was a member of the Rune Master Association. Although he had no rank, he was already qualified to enter. As he entered the tower, various rules of the Rune Master Association appeared before his eyes. The tower had nine floors, and only rune masters of the corresponding rank could enter each floor. Rune masters like Lin Moyu, who had no rank, and first-level rune masters could only operate on the first floor. There were no staff members here; if you needed anything, you could directly contact the Human Emperor Network. In other words, all affairs of the Rune Master Association here were managed by the Human Emperor Network. This way, it wouldn’t affect the daily cultivation and research of the rune masters, nor would it affect the certification and assessment of new rune masters. If there was anything that required other rune masters, the Human Emperor Network would naturally notify and summon them. This was good for Lin Moyu, as he didn’t have to interact with too many people. He carefully read the specific details of the rune master certification. The certification for rune masters was actually very simple. For first to third-level rune masters, you only needed to be able to draw the corresponding basic runes. Drawing 100 basic runes was not difficult; basically, any rune master could do it. If you couldn’t even do that, you didn’t deserve to be a rune master. Starting from the fourth level, in addition to drawing advanced runes, there were also requirements for Divine City merits. To become a fourth-level rune master, you needed to draw one advanced rune and have 100 points of Divine City merits. To become a fifth-level rune master, you needed to draw ten advanced runes and have 1000 points of Divine City merits. To become a sixth-level rune master, you needed to draw 100 advanced runes and have 5000 points of Divine City merits. As for the seventh-level rune master, the specific requirements were not written. It should be said that Lin Moyu’s permissions did not allow him to see the specific requirements. Lin Moyu guessed that it might require drawing rune arrays, and the Divine City merits would likely need to reach 10,000 points, or you might need to become a mid-level personnel. In the empty first floor of the tower, dozens of people were scattered around. They were all holding books, reading them with great interest. Lin Moyu had just finished reading the rules and knew what they were doing. They were looking up information related to runes. In the Rune Master Association, there was a very peculiar rule: you could only view this information within the association. Once you left, you couldn’t access this information. You could only memorize it; you couldn’t copy it. This ensured that the information wouldn’t be leaked to a certain extent. Lin Moyu moved his thoughts, "Apply for rune master rank certification." **[Please select the rank you want to certify.]** The Human Emperor Network quickly responded, giving Lin Moyu three choices. Certify as a first-level rune master, certify as a second-level rune master, certify as a third-level rune master... There were no more choices. Lin Moyu understood that he had to certify as a third-level rune master first to be eligible to continue certifying. This was to prevent some people from accidentally mastering an advanced rune and directly skipping the first three levels to certify as a fourth-level rune master. This had happened in history. Such rune masters, who only mastered one advanced rune, were considered unqualified, and the Rune Master Association didn’t need such people. "Certify as a third-level rune master." After Lin Moyu made his choice, a rune lit up in the tower. Then he was teleported into an independent space. In front of him was a dark void, seemingly empty. **[Now begin the third-level rune certification.]** **[Please draw 100 different basic runes within 100 minutes.]** A countdown appeared in the dark void. 5999. 5998. 100 minutes, exactly 6000 seconds. The countdown was displayed in seconds, constantly decreasing, creating a sense of urgency. Drawing 100 basic runes in 100 minutes. On average, you had to draw one rune per minute, which wasn’t easy for many newly mastering rune masters. Perhaps the most familiar runes could be drawn in a few seconds. But for those unfamiliar runes, it might take several minutes to draw one. Moreover, drawing runes wasn’t just about drawing the shape; it also required divine power. Every stroke needed divine power; otherwise, the rune would be judged as a failure and would have no effect. The Human Emperor Network was responsible for certification, fair and strict, with no favoritism or personal feelings. Lin Moyu began drawing runes. His fingers gently traced through the void, and his soul power flowed steadily, quickly drawing a rune. His movements were graceful and smooth, pleasing to the eye. In just five seconds, a rune was completed and then flew out, stopping in the dark void in front of him. The rune glowed brightly, stable and intact, indicating that it had been successfully drawn and verified by the Human Emperor Network. Lin Moyu continued drawing runes without stopping. Every five seconds, a basic rune was completed and quickly flew out. In no time, the dark void was filled with various basic runes. Lin Moyu’s speed remained constant, maintaining a pace of one rune every five seconds. This wasn’t his fastest speed; this was just a rune certification test, not a battle, so there was no need to rush. If he really wanted to hurry, drawing one rune per second wouldn’t be difficult. In just 500 seconds, all 100 runes were completed. The countdown stopped at that moment. A hundred runes glowed brightly in the dark void, like a beautiful painting. **[Certification complete. Congratulations on passing the certification.]** **[Congratulations on becoming a third-level rune master.]** Lin Moyu received the notification from the Human Emperor Network, confirming that he had become a third-level rune master. He applied again, "Apply for rune master rank certification."
