Dizzying Gains!

After two Heaven and Earth Trials, the losses within the Small World remained within Zhang Zhi's acceptable range.

Thirty-three Elite Realm members had died, and 175 were injured.

Twenty-one Ordinary Realm members had died, and 66 were injured.

The ordinary people's casualties had occurred among the subsequent support forces.

The Spoils of War dropped by the monsters during this Heaven and Earth Trial were clearly a tier better than those from the first one. Among them were quite a few Elite Tier weapons and pieces of armor.

The skill books that dropped were also far more numerous than before, but most of them were still gray ones such as "Basic Blade Technique" and "Basic Sword Technique."

What made Zhang Zhi's eyes light up was a white "Basic Alchemy," as well as a white "Alchemy."

"Alchemy" was a skill book from the magic-world path. He could take it out and exchange it for the resources he needed.

"Basic Alchemy" was truly a good thing. Many monsters in this wave had dropped various pills that could aid cultivation. With "Basic Alchemy," he should no longer have to worry about pills.

He would definitely manifest this "Basic Alchemy" first, then raise its tier before integrating it into the Small World.

Even if "Basic Alchemy" could not be upgraded, he would not lose anything. With Fang Yun around, he had never worried that no one would comprehend a skill integrated into the Small World.

Besides that, the ten Mortal Transformation Realm Chaos Monsters serving as gatekeeping bosses had contributed two Light Clusters this time.

The first Light Cluster was the same as the one from the first wave. It had drawn a pattern on the World Bead. Looking at the two different patterns, Zhang Zhi had kept guessing what they were.

The two patterns definitely had an important purpose, but he had no idea what they meant or what they could be used for.

He had finished reading all the books in the Small Library, but none of them mentioned anything about patterns appearing on the World Bead.

He had even considered asking Li Yuan about it.

But after thinking it over for a long time, he still suppressed the idea.

At present, he and Li Yuan were merely friends brought together by mutual interests.

If the patterns on the World Bead could bring Li Yuan enormous benefits, Zhang Zhi could not be sure that he would be able to hold the line.

The best way to preserve a friendship was not to test the relationship with benefits.

The contents of the second Light Cluster shocked Zhang Zhi, leaving him so stunned that he felt dizzy!

It could be said that he would never even have dreamed that he could obtain this thing.

A small tower floated inside the second Light Cluster. The instant he touched the Light Cluster, he learned what the tower was.

That tower was none other than the Trial Tower, which had become as famous to him as thunder!

The Multiverse actually acknowledged his Small World so much that, after the second Heaven and Earth Trial, it had given him a Trial Tower.

Although it was only the lowest-level gray Trial Tower, it was still a Trial Tower!

This represented the acknowledgment of his world by the entire Multiverse!

After the Principal had explained things to him on the day of enrollment, he had understood how important the Trial Tower was. Moreover, from the Principal's words, he felt that the Trial Tower seemed even more important than he had imagined.

Dazed by this enormous surprise, Zhang Zhi took a long time to regain some clarity.

By the time he came to his senses, the second wave of Heaven and Earth rewards had already ended.

At that moment, the size of the Small World had doubled again.

That was nothing special; he had already been mentally prepared for it. But after checking the state of the human world, he let out a deep sigh.

The saying that surviving a great disaster would bring great fortune really isn't wrong at all.

Ever since he had survived the calamity involving the Night Shadow Gang, surprises had come one after another these past few days!

At that moment, there had originally been only twelve Mortal Transformation Realm beings in the Small World, but that number had now become twenty-six—more than double!

The Heaven and Earth Gift truly lived up to its name!

After touring the now much more spacious Small World, he thought that he still had too few cards. Once he reached Seven Dragons Prefecture, he would first sell the Beastman Path cards in his possession that were inconvenient to sell in Yicheng.

Eighty-five Beastman cards should be enough to exchange for quite a few cards, making the Small World look less desolate.

While he was touring the area, he noticed that the previous peach grove seemed to have gained several Mortal Transformation Realm Flat Peach Trees.

After discovering that the Flat Peach Trees were likely Heavenly Material, Earthly Treasures, he had enthusiastically purchased quite a few gray cards such as peach trees and apricot trees, hoping to advance more fruit trees into Heavenly Materials, Earthly Treasures.

Unfortunately, at present, only one other gray Apricot Grove had advanced to white. The rest were still gray.

Thus, he had been paying close attention to the peach grove in the Small World.

After noticing that something seemed off about the peach grove, he immediately began examining it carefully.

The original early-stage Mortal Transformation Flat Peach Tree now clearly had the aura of the mid-stage Mortal Transformation Realm.

That was not all. The grove had also gained two early-stage Mortal Transformation Realm Flat Peach Trees and eleven Elite Realm Flat Peach Trees.

Zhang Zhi was genuinely numb to the surprises by now.

After walking around the Flat Peach Forest once and telling Fang Yun about what had happened, he exited the Small World!

He wanted to find somewhere to calm down properly.

Today's gains had been so great that they felt almost unreal!

After taking a shower and calming himself for a while, Zhang Zhi entered the Small World again.

The scale of the Small World was correct: roughly thirty thousand square kilometers in area, with a thickness of two thousand meters.

The human side was correct as well. Including Fang Yun, there were twenty-six Mortal Transformation Realm cultivators.

The Flat Peach Forest was correct too.

There was one mid-stage Mortal Transformation Flat Peach Tree, two early-stage Mortal Transformation Flat Peach Trees, and fifteen Elite Realm Flat Peach Trees.

The Trial Tower was real as well. The Light Cluster containing the Trial Tower was still in its original location, and he could see the Trial Tower inside as soon as he touched it.

So everything that had happened just now really had not been a dream!

After taking a deep breath, Zhang Zhi prepared to find a suitable location to place the Trial Tower.

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to place the Trial Tower inside the city where the humans lived.

At first, he had planned to dig a hole and hide the Trial Tower. After all, this thing could not be exposed.

In the end, he felt that the most dangerous place might be the safest.

The Trial Tower was only one story at present. As long as they built a tall enough structure outside it, no one would think of the Trial Tower.

Because the city had recently taken in quite a few humans, many areas were being expanded.

After finding a suitable location, he willed it, and the Trial Tower inside the Light Cluster moved slightly before becoming still again.

After receiving the information transmitted by the Light Cluster, he was instantly dumbfounded!

The gray Trial Tower required ten thousand points of World Power to be placed.

After being placed, it required at least fifty points of World Power every day to maintain its operation.

And this was only a gray Trial Tower!

The Trial Tower was simply not something that he, who possessed only a Small World, could afford to use!
