The reason the trial world was considered a boon to trial takers wasn't just the challenge, they were treasure troves. When one cleared a trial, the system itself rewarded them with items that could boost their power, strengthen their bodies, or even refine their minds. But the true prizes were the orbs.
Skill Orbs and Art Orbs.
Each one carried the imprint of mastery, a crystallized essence of power. To most trial takers, they were priceless shortcuts. Instead of spending months or years learning spells as a mage, or drilling countless techniques as a warrior, one could simply absorb an orb. In moments, what would've taken a lifetime was etched into muscle memory, into the soul itself. The higher the trial's rank and tier, the stronger the orbs granted upon completion. It was for this reason that most trial takers chose to focus on skills over traditional spells or techniques. Only when their skill slots were filled would they turn to the slower paths of cultivation.
