What that person had just said was actually quite informative.
Clearly, the odds of encountering a Realm Lord in the Trial Tower's arena mode weren't very high!
The information about the Trial Tower available in the library was still insufficient. From what he had just said, it seemed that Trial Tower slots were available in many worlds and apparently weren't particularly precious?
The eleventh match.
This time, Zhang Zhi discovered that his pillar of light had also become incomparably enormous, enveloping all the summoned cultivators within it.
To Zhang Zhi's surprise, the pillar of light on the opposite side was still incomparably huge.
As the pillars of light dispersed, he saw a large group of various beasts on the other side, along with a few beasts that stood upright and had all sorts of forms. They surrounded a creature with enormous tusks that otherwise looked fairly similar to a human. Zhang Zhi immediately understood.
This time, he had encountered the Realm Lord of an alien race—and it was even the Realm Lord of the famous demon race.
Looking at the tusks protruding from the demon's mouth, each nearly as thick as an arm, Zhang Zhi found them awkward no matter how he looked at them.
Perhaps because this Multiverse favored humanity, the evolved forms of many alien races modeled themselves after humans.
The demon race was the same, but it had one distinctive trait: whenever demons transformed into human form, they liked to retain the body part they were most proud of.
The boar demon before him was clearly most fond of its tusks. This one was still all right.
Some demons were truly an eyesore after transforming into human form!
Certain dairy-cow demons, for example, and certain donkey demons.
Actually, dairy-cow demons were still relatively acceptable. Many beasts could nurse eight young at the same time. Just imagine how much of an eyesore some of those beasts would be after taking human form.
Just as Zhang Zhi's thoughts were running wild, a roar from the opposite side pulled him back to reality.
After that roar, the herd of beasts on the opposite side began charging fiercely toward them.
Zhang Zhi sensed the auras on the other side. Most were ordinary beasts, while only the twenty-some upright demon beasts had reached the Elite Realm.
The outcome was completely beyond doubt.
Only then did Zhang Zhi understand why this arena was so large. When two Realm Lords fought, an arena this size was truly necessary.
This was the first Realm Lord he had encountered. After leaving the arena, he looked at the crowd around him and finally understood why the Trial Tower had been packed with people when he first entered. The projections summoned by the others had actually appeared inside the Trial Tower as well.
Next came the fourteenth match, the fifteenth match, and the sixteenth match.
Zhang Zhi wanted to achieve as many consecutive wins as possible before the projections of his summoned cultivators dissipated.
This time, he had summoned five hundred Elite Realm cultivators, using five points of World Power. Summoning the other twenty Mortal Transformation Realm cultivators besides Fang Yun used four points of World Power. Including Fang Yun, he had spent a total of ten points of World Power.
The projections of the summoned warriors could last for about three hours. After three hours, maintaining their existence would require half the amount of World Power used to summon them—in other words, five points of World Power.
Zhang Zhi's Mental Power Value was nearly one hundred now, allowing him to convert ten points of World Power each day.
Over the previous half month, he had already saved up quite a bit of World Power. The Realm Lord value inside his World Bead was currently 89/10000.
The ten thousand at the end was the upper limit of World Power that the Small Small World could store.
For a Realm Lord who couldn't directly open a Teleportation Gate in the Main World, World Power was a direct reflection of the Realm Lord's Combat Power.
Next came the seventeenth match, the eighteenth match, the nineteenth...
Zhang Zhi maintained an average pace of finishing one battle per minute. This even included the preparation stage inside the pillar of light, and his consecutive wins began to soar.
As the number of consecutive wins increased, his later opponents were all in the middle or late stages of the Mortal Transformation Realm.
After receiving two Heaven and Earth Gifts, Fang Yun's strength had risen another level. Throughout the matches, whether he faced the demon race, Spirit Race, ghost race, or any other bizarre race, no one could last ten moves against Fang Yun.
After fifty consecutive wins, he began encountering Realm Lords of the various races much more frequently.
After eighty consecutive wins, nearly all his opponents were Realm Lords. However, most of them possessed only Micro Worlds, or had Mortal Transformation Realm subordinates but had yet to advance to Small Worlds. They were no match for Zhang Zhi at all.
The only opponent who wasn't a Realm Lord was an Elephant Demon. It was also the only Mortal Transformation Realm existence Zhang Zhi had seen so far that could fight Fang Yun back and forth.
The ninety-ninth match.
His opponent was a Realm Lord who had advanced to a Small Small World and possessed several Mortal Transformation Realm subordinates.
The opponent appeared to be human as well, and seemed to be a woman.
The reason he said "seemed" was that they were too far apart. When Fang Yun slew the several Mortal Transformation Realm cultivators on the other side, a few crisp voices seemed to drift over: "Coward!" "Come over here and fight me one-on-one if you dare!" "What kind of man hides behind others?"
Zhang Zhi paid them no attention. One win was worth ninety-nine points. If he wasn't cautious and had been beheaded by the opponent, it would have been too late for tears.
The Mortal Transformation Realm existence on that female Realm Lord's side was exceptionally tough. It had lasted a full thirty moves against Fang Yun before Fang Yun pressed it into a cloud of blood with one palm.
After ninety-nine consecutive wins, the arena sent over a message:
'Congratulations! You have achieved ninety-nine consecutive wins, kicking the nursing home and punching the kindergarten in the Tier 1 Arena.'
'This season has not yet reached its settlement time. Will you advance directly to the Tier 2 Arena, or continue remaining in the Tier 1 Arena?'
"Friendly reminder: even if you choose to remain in the Tier 1 Arena, your matched opponents will still be contestants from the Tier 2 Arena."
Zhang Zhi carefully read through the message sent by the arena several times. After pondering for a while, he asked, "If I choose to remain in the Tier 1 Arena, will I have to wait until the season ends before entering the Tier 2 Arena?"
"The arena sends this inquiry to all trial members who have achieved more than ninety-nine consecutive wins."
"What benefits will advancing to the Tier 2 Arena provide? And what benefits will I get from staying in the Tier 1 Arena?"
"The more times you win in the Tier 1 Arena, the more Mortal Transformation Realm materials will become available for exchange in the Exchange Shop of your Trial Tower."
'After you advance to the Tier 2 Arena, the Exchange Shop will randomly add one Extraordinary Class. The more times you win in the Tier 2 Arena, the more Extraordinary Class materials you will be able to exchange.'
At this point, Zhang Zhi understood. After thinking for a moment, he continued asking, "How much time remains in this season?"
'There are four months and twenty-six days remaining before the arena season settlement for your Trial Tower.'
Today was July fourth. In other words, the Trial Tower's season was settled once a year.
Looking at the information sent by the arena, Zhang Zhi knew exactly what choice he should make.
Of course he would choose to remain in the Tier 1 Arena!
