It's true that the Trial Tower has a dazzling array of Cards available for exchange, but exchanging Cards requires Trial Points!

These Trial Points aren't so easy to get.

To give a simple example, the Trial Tower currently has two modes: Arena and Secret Realm.

In the Arena, you don't die. If you defeat your opponent in the Arena, you get one point. If you lose, you lose one entry to the Trial Tower.

The points you can get in the Secret Realm are relatively much higher, but dying in the Secret Realm is true death!

Generally speaking, the Master of the World of a miniature or small world can only get two or three hundred points from one Secret Realm run.

And a Blue Rank Tier 1 Spirit Vein Card requires ten thousand points to exchange!

For ordinary people, if they enter the Trial Tower once a month and choose the trial mode each time, it would take them about four years to exchange for a Tier 1 Spirit Vein Card!

This cycle is not short for a World Master with relatively good talent like himself.

After finding this information, Zhang Zhi finally understood why the admissions teacher from Yuanzhou School had said there would be so many Tier 1 Spirit Vein Cards in their school's Trial Tower exchange shop.

It wasn't that people didn't want to exchange them, but that most people simply couldn't accumulate that many Trial Tower points!

He was also too inexperienced and didn't know the secrets within. He was bluffed by that teacher at the time, no wonder Li Qianjun was so angry!

Fortunately, he ultimately chose Seven Dragons Academy.

Zhang Zhi went straight to the Trial Tower.

He registered at the entrance with his Student ID. Looking at his real-time photo on the Student ID, he thought, No wonder it works as long as you have a Student ID. With this real-time avatar, who could impersonate it?

Following the instructions at the entrance, Zhang Zhi reached out and touched the large stone tower door. The next moment, he appeared in an empty hall.

There were many people in the hall, and everyone's figure was extremely blurry. This was the Trial Tower's built-in shielding function.

Inside the Trial Tower, no one could peek at others, including their appearance, clothing, or voice.

Looking at the crowded people in the hall, Zhang Zhi was a little confused. He thought, I didn't see so many people at the entrance just now?

Could it be that many Trial Towers share one hall?

The information I checked didn't mention this!

After trying and finding that it seemed impossible to communicate in the hall, Zhang Zhi gave up on trying to get to the bottom of it.

Naturally, the first thing he tried was the Arena. Anyway, if he lost, he would only lose a Trial Tower entry. He came to a ring in the hall and, as the information he checked described, reached out and touched the ring.

The next moment, Zhang Zhi appeared on a huge ring.

Although he had learned from the information that the ring was very large, Zhang Zhi was still a little stunned after entering this ring which was at least one kilometer in radius.

Is the ring this big? It won't be easy to even find the opponent, right?

Before this thought dissipated, a beam of light appeared about a hundred meters away from him.

He looked up at the beam of light covering him.

When this beam of light disappeared, it meant the ring match had begun.

A few seconds later, the beam of light began to slowly dissipate, revealing a figure about two meters tall on the opposite side.

Looking at the fangs in its mouth, the scales all over its body, its thick limbs, and the claws on its limbs, Zhang Zhi thought, Is this it?

The first opponent matched by the Trial Tower was a Beastmen race that Zhang Zhi hadn't seen in the information, and it was also a Beastmen who had just advanced to the Elite Realm.

With a thought, a figure appeared in front of him. Then, before the Beastmen could react to what was happening, that figure leaped forward, delivered a palm strike, and the match ended.

Needless to say, this figure was naturally Fang Yun, whom he had summoned.

From the information he had checked before, Zhang Zhi had already learned that not only World Masters could enter the Trial Tower, and not only humans could enter. Therefore, he wasn't surprised to be matched with the Beast Race in the first round.

After finishing the first match and seeing how weak the opponent matched by the Trial Ground was, Zhang Zhi immediately entered the second match.

The opponent in the second match was an Archer in the Elite Realm, but the Archer's exaggerated arms clearly didn't look human.

However, for Fang Yun, it was just a matter of one palm strike.

After the second match, the Arena gave him a small surprise: a winning streak, and an extra point reward. This time, he gained two points.

The opponent in the third match was a large Wild Boar, fully two meters tall, whose aura had reached the Elite Realm Late Stage.

Yes, that's right, the opponent in this match was actually a Wild Boar, not some intelligent creature.

And this Wild Boar actually took two hits from Fang Yun before leaving the field, making Zhang Zhi marvel at how thick its health bar was.

Needless to say, that Wild Boar must have been a Boar Demon that had gained sentience.

When the light beam just dissipated in the fourth match, Zhang Zhi thought the opponent on the opposite side was human. When he saw that guy turn into a giant bat and fly towards him, Zhang Zhi finally realized:

This opponent was a Vampire.

In the fifth match, the opponent was a creature similar to a human with pointed ears. Well, needless to say, it was an Elf.

And honestly, the Elf looked quite good, and their archery was also quite good, and their mind was also quite good. As soon as they appeared and saw Zhang Zhi and the other person in the distance, they turned and ran towards the distance, while running and drawing their bow to shoot arrows at them.

The Elf seemed to want to kite, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't be faster than Fang Yun.

Fang Yun easily chased after and dealt with this Elf.

This Elf was already in the Mortal Transformation Realm.

The sixth match featured a Beast Race opponent.

The seventh match paired him with the first Human Race opponent.

The eighth match was an Undead.

The ninth match surprisingly paired him with a Monster Race who could simultaneously cast five small Fireballs.

Starting from the fifth match, all the opponents were in the Mortal Transformation Realm. However, none of them lasted more than three rounds against Zhang Zhi.

For the tenth match, looking at the pillar of light opposite him, which was at least a hundred meters in diameter, Zhang Zhi was greatly startled!

"What the heck, could this opponent be a giant creature like a Gan Giant or a Titan?"

As the pillar of light dissipated, seeing a dense mass of Skeletons charging towards him, Zhang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief!

Okay, it seemed this opponent was a Necromancer. The pillar of light was so large because they had summoned too many Skeletons!

Watching the dense mass of Skeletons charging, Zhang Zhi's thoughts stirred, and teams of armored Cultivators appeared beside him.

Before the two sides could even engage, the charging Skeletons vanished without a trace.

Along with their disappearance came a message: "Damn, how did I run into a freak like a Master of the World in the Tier 1 Arena! My ten-win streak is gone."

As the ten Trial Points were credited, Zhang Zhi finally understood – the opponent felt there was no hope of winning and just surrendered?
