_________________
Aside from Jay and Olivia, Dante was the one that stood out the most.
While just being at Lv.25, he even reached as far as the 9th difficulty level and almost defeated the Tier-3 high-Phase monster there.
Dante\'s evaluation score was even higher than Sergei and Brandon, placing him just beneath Olivia\'s score among the Earth\'s Alpha Chosen.
Other than Jay and Dante himself, no one else among the Earth\'s Alpha Chosen saw that coming.
To them, Jay clearing the 11th difficulty level didn\'t come as a shocker since they long ago stopped judging him by common logic.
But, Dante almost defeating a peak Tier-3 monster was a different matter. They knew that he could predict his opponents moves beforehand but even with that, defeating a Tier-3 Low-Phase monster while being at Tier-2 High-Phase was hard because of the difference between tiers.
Two factors played a crucial role in making Dante so powerful despite having a meagre amount of 300 overall stats.
The first one was his Rare Grade Spirit Weapon, <Great Titan Bow>. As thanks for helping him in the search of Arch Spirit Fruit, Jay converged several Uncommon Grade Bows to create a Rare Grade one that best suits Dante\'s abilities.
On top of that, MJ upgraded it with the remains of the Emerald Spirit Metal Ore, that was left from creating Jay\'s Epic Grade Silver Glaive replica.
With that, the <Great Titan Bow> came out to be a top-notch Rare Grade weapon.
______________
[<Great Titan Bow> (Rare Grade): A Long Bow that could even rival a grade above its own.
Effect: Strength+28^, Agility+22^
Requirements: 40 Strength, 40 Agility
Durability: 100/100
Inherent Skills: <Arrow Gigantification>(Rare), <Arrow Creation>(Rare).
<Ranged Arrow Gigantification>(Active): Upon activating this, the size of the arrow shot will be enlarged, the longer it travels in its path trajectory.
Cost: 50 Spirit Energy per shot.
<Arrow Creation>(Passive): Upon pulling the bowstring, an arrow will be automatically spawned into the drawing slot.
Daily Limit: 25 arrows (any more would cost 10 Spirit Energy per arrow.)
______________
The skill <Ranged Arrow Gigantification> made up for Dante\'s lacking attack power and his ability to see through everyone\'s moves before they could even make them, closing the deficiencies of his low movement speed and time perception.
But for him to almost defeat an Lv.50 monster, it wouldn\'t be possible with just those two.
There was something else that played a crucial role. It was the growth-type Equipment, <Deck of Fate> that he recently gained.
That\'s right, other than Jay and Olivia, Dante was the only one who obtained Growth-type Equipment among the Earth\'s Alpha Chosen.
It happened on Day-9 when the Fate stats in his possession reached 100, he caused a Universe Level achievement for having so many Fate stats while just being at Tier-2.
Appearance-wise, it looks like a deck of white illusionary cards, stacked on top of each other.
Unlike Jay\'s defensive-type growth equipment <Centauri Kavach>, and Olivia\'s offensive-type growth equipment <Thousand Butterfly Blade>, the <Deck of Fate> was a piece of support-type growth equipment.
Each illusionary card in the <Deck of Fate> contains a random buff effect and the card drawn out will give him the buff that\'s best suitable to the situation he was in.
The number of cards he could draw at once was only limited to just two since the <Deck of Fate> was only at Uncommon Grade.
But, each of those buff effects were not to be looked down upon.
Whenever he uses it while facing an opponent, the buffs he receives will be best suited to counter the opponent\'s abilities.
With that in tow, Dante was able to jump almost a tier above his league to fight a Tier-3 High-Phase monster.
Although Sergei and Brandon\'s performance wasn\'t as dazzling as Dante, their evaluation scores could easily be ranked among the top few Alpha Chosen in the Trial Regional Tournament.
Despite being at the entry levels of Tier-3 Mid-Phase (Lv.34 to Lv.41), they both almost defeated an Lv.50 Tier-3 monster each.
If only they were given more time, clearing the 9th difficulty level would have been in their grasp.
As for Min-soo and Andrea, they had barely managed to defeat a Tier-3 Mid-Phase monster.
They were still far from bringing out the potential of their Innate Talents\' offensive side and were only good at using their abilities to provide support, like healing and scouting among other things.
In the case of Kensei and Henry, they both used their combat experience and wits to clear the 8th difficulty level by defeating monsters that were a Phase higher than them.
Although Kasim and Gabriel didn\'t do as well as the other Earth\'s Alpha Chosen, they still cleared the 7th difficulty level.
Before long, everyone from the 8th batch finished their Round-1 and the next batch began.
Once that was over, the 10th batch began. This time, instead of 100 screens, there were just 76 of them since there were 76 Trial Zone teams among the final batch.
The spectators didn\'t expect anyone would be noteworthy after watching Olivia\'s performance but two particular Alpha Chosen among the final batch proved them wrong by clearing the 9th difficulty level.
They both tried fighting a Tier-4 Low-Phase monster but failed to deal the extent of damage Olivia managed to inflict.
Once they were sent out, they gave each other cold looks before going in separate ways to their respective spot in the seating area.
Their interaction made it clear to everyone that there was some kind of conflict between them.
While this was happening, Baby MJ provided Jay with the information he gathered on them through the Tier-4 System access.
Apparently, those two were ranked 14th and 16th in the <Trial World Leaderboard> and the life planets they both hail from were neighbouring planets in the same \'Star System\'.
Since the System hasn\'t assimilated with it yet, there wasn\'t any more information available for MJ to access.
With both their planets being next to each other and technologically advanced, it wasn\'t hard to guess that the root of their dispute must have been because of resources.
Soon, the large notification board over the podium ground refreshed before displaying the new overall evaluation scores of the top 100 Trial Zone Teams.
__________

1. Earth Trial Zone Team (777): 87,370 Points.

After everyone gave it a good look, the 3rd Prince announced, "The 100 Trial Zone Teams remaining on this notification board are the ones that qualified for the next round. So, the remaining 876 Trial Zone Teams could only spectate the next two Rounds.
Now that six hours have passed since the Tournament began, there will be a three-hour intermission. Open your Status windows to find the new unlocked content in the <Trial Regional Tournament> section.
As you all can see in the \'Rest House\' function, each Trial Zone Team was allotted a Rest House, where you can rest and relax during this first intermission. Other than that, there\'s also the \'Exchange Market\' function available. Read the rules and regulations shown there to learn of its usage and make sure to follow them.
Before concluding Round-1, let me say one last thing, killing each other is strictly prohibited during the Tournament. Anyone that violates this rule will be automatically disqualified from further participating in the Tournament. Bear that in mind before acting rashly. That\'s all for now. Everyone may leave the Colosseum."
After that, several exits opened up, leading to the rest of the floating island. As everyone was making their way towards those exits like people leaving a movie theatre, the 3rd Prince flew towards the Earth\'s Alpha Chosen.
