Chapter 173 - The First-ranked Reward
After his heart finally became calm from the energy of the battle, he looked at the corpse, only to find no corpse there. In place of it, a red egg lay there on the ground, waiting for him to pick it up.
Eris took a deep breath and bent down to pick up the red egg.
"So this is the reward," He murmured as he scrutinized the red egg in his hand.
It didn\'t look anything more than an ordinary egg, so he tapped his fingers on it to crack it.
Following the tapping, nothing happened to the egg, so he used some of his power to crush it.
The next moment, the red egg disintegrated into nothing. In its place, an ordinary blank card appeared in Eris\'s hands.
"What\'s this-"
A confused expression appeared on Eris\'s face after looking at the ordinary card in his hands. His murmurs also came to a sudden halt as the card left his hands on its own and began floating in front of him.
Before Eris could speak anything, the card began glowing. He couldn\'t help but close his eyes after the brightness got so intense that he couldn\'t continue to watch it.
The next moment, the light began spreading across the area.
First, it engulfed him, then the area he battled on, and at last, it consumed the entire dungeon. But since Eris had his eyes closed, he didn\'t know what was happening. He only knew that strange energy was forcibly entering his body, and he couldn\'t do anything to stop it.
It continued for a while. Suddenly, Eris started feeling cold, so he opened his eyes. He found himself back in the world inside the portal.
He also noticed an empty blue screen floating in front of him. He found it to be transparent as well as opaque at the same time. If he focused on it, he wouldn\'t see anything beyond the screen, but if his focus were on something else, the screen would stay the same, but it wouldn\'t obstruct the view in front of him.
He thought it was some dungeon clearing message, so he thought of it disappearing, but nothing happened, and the blue screen stayed in front of him.
The next moment, letters in white started appearing on the blue screen.
{Name: Eris,
Race: Titan,
Dungeon clear: Green(1),
Talent: Dungeon Prediction(Tap to expand).}
A confused look appeared on his face, seeing the contents of the blue screen.
"How does it know!" Eris exclaimed in shock after seeing the Titan in front of the race section.
Since Titans had almost an infinite lifespan from the moment they took birth, so many Titans chose to experience every cultivation system the Primal dimension had to offer to spend their free time.
Eris was also one of them. He had cultivated almost every major cultivation system of the Primal dimension with the best cultivation/meditation arts.
Eris had the best disguise skills/spells in his arsenal, so he was confident that no one would be able to see through his disguise.
After seeing the abilities and hearing about Panagea, he thought that maybe the store owner would see through it, but when he appeared inside the portal with his human disguise, he believed that even Aakesh failed to see through his disguise.
But now, he was seeing his actual race on the blue screen.
After getting flustered for a while, he took a deep breath to calm his flustered heart since there was no point in worrying about it right now. He decided to talk to the store owner after exiting the event.
He then focused on the blue screen after putting the thought about his race in the back of his mind.
The following section on the blue screen talked about his number of dungeon clears. He ignored it since he himself knew it. He then focused on the fourth and the last section on the window.
It talked about his talent. "Is it my reward from the red egg?" He murmured, seeing the talent option on the blue screen.
When he appeared outside the dungeon, Eris thought that he was one of the participants with bad luck, and he didn\'t get anything from the dungeon, but before he could\'ve thought about it more, the blue screen had disturbed him.
The blue screen only showed the name of the talent he had, but he didn\'t have to worry about it since he could find out more details by tapping on the screen.
The next moment, he tapped on the talent, and soon another blue screen containing the details of the talent appeared in front of him. Having done so, he then focused on it to find out more about the reward he had received.
{Talent: Dungeon Prediction,
Ability: The talent would allow the user to see whether they could challenge the dungeons or not.}
"Woah!" Eris couldn\'t help but feel shocked, seeing the details of the talent.
Having this talent in this event was like giving wings to a tiger. If Eris knew about his chances of clearing the dungeon, he would never fall into a terrible situation, and he could easily grow in strength after clearing easy dungeons.
While Eris stared at his shocking reward, Aakesh, on the outside, was also surprised.
"Someone got it in a green dungeon," He murmured, seeing Eris getting the first-ranked reward he had prepared for the participants.
The rewards were randomly sent to dungeons, so only the system knew what dungeon contained what level of items.
A few people who randomly chose to watch him during the event also had stunned expressions after seeing the details of the talent Eris had gotten as the reward.
Whenever some participants got the reward from the red egg, the people in the crowd who were watching the participant would automatically get all the details of the rewards in their heads.
"A cheat!" One man in the crowd couldn\'t help but murmur in astonishment after seeing the ability of his talent.
When those around him heard the man, and when they themselves got the details of the reward, they had the same expression as that man.

After calming his heart, Eris proceeded in search of another green dungeon to clear and also test the ability of the talent.
