Chapter 233

Even if his strength reached the Peak King level, such high-intensity and long-duration battles still made Long Zhi's breath become slightly rapid. After all, in the past, when they participated in battles as Magic Card Masters, they more often acted as a behind-the-scenes commander.

Unlike now, where Magic Card Masters have to go down to the field themselves.

But this also gave them more understanding of the abilities of the Magic Card Spirits synchronized with the origin, and perhaps after this, they could unearth greater potential of the Magic Card Spirits.

Thinking of this, Long Zhi suddenly had a realization, but it was quickly suppressed by him; now is not the time to think about these.

The most important thing right now is to pass the Titan Sanctuary trial first!

"The encounter frequency of fierce beasts is becoming lower and lower, and there isn't much time left for me to head to the Heaven-Reaching Tower. It seems it's time to set off in the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Tower." Looking at the Heaven-Reaching Tower in the distance, Long Zhi took a deep breath, spent only a few seconds to adjust his slightly disordered breath, and stepped forward quickly.

Even for a King-level Magic Card Master, after restricting the summoning of Magic Card Spirits, the strength will correspondingly decrease, and one must consider another point, that is, to further consider the consumption and allocation of one's own magic power within the Titan Sanctuary.

If this problem is not considered, I'm afraid one will soon be eliminated due to excessive consumption of magic power.

It is precisely because of considering this point that Long Zhi didn't choose to fly directly to the Heaven-Reaching Tower. After all, the magic power consumption of flying is too high, and no one can guarantee that taking the air route is one hundred percent safe.

The subsequent trials within the Heaven-Reaching Tower are the main event; no one knows what kind of changes will be encountered after entering the Heaven-Reaching Tower, so Long Zhi naturally wants to keep a hand.

Not only Long Zhi, but other Magic Card Masters participating in the Titan Sanctuary trial also held similar thoughts. If they couldn't even think of this, they wouldn't have been able to obtain a quota for the Titan Sanctuary.

The Magic Card Masters present might have gaps in strength, but no one is mentally retarded.

Regardless of how many Authentication Cards were obtained, at this point in time, all Magic Card Masters were basically heading in the direction of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Even if the number of floors cleared is a bit lower, there will still be gains. But if they are eliminated before even entering the Heaven-Reaching Tower, then they will really lose everything.

This point is something everyone can think of.

……

"Tan Huan, how is the situation now?" In the Titan Temple, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared beside Tan Huan and asked.

"Old Li, are you done with your business? You actually have time to come here?" Seeing the old man who suddenly appeared beside her, a hint of surprise flashed across Tan Huan's face, but then she replied, "According to time estimation, the first stage should be about to end, and no one has been eliminated yet."

The first stage, as long as one enters the Heaven-Reaching Tower, it counts as passing. As long as one is not a fool, no one will be eliminated in this stage; after all, that would be too embarrassing.

Seeing the scene of Tan Huan and the old man talking, the Northern Territory Magic Card Masters in the Titan Temple couldn't help but be filled with respect and awe when looking at the old man.

Clearly, for this old man who appeared suddenly, they were very clear about the other party's identity.

As for Magic Card Masters from the other three major territories like Su Xueyi, although they didn't know the identity of this old man at first, after seeing the expressions on the faces of the Northern Territory Magic Card Masters, and adding that this was Frost Capital, a name flashed in everyone's mind instantly.

Li Wei!

Old Li in Tan Huan's mouth, full name Li Wei, has strength equivalent to Tan Huan, is also an Immortal Realm Magic Card Master, and is also the President of the Frost Capital Magic Card Association.

No wonder the other party could call Tan Huan by her name directly, and no wonder the Northern Territory Magic Card Masters would show expressions of respect and awe after seeing the old man.

The opening of the Titan Sanctuary is mainly responsible by the Capital Lord's Mansion, so Li Wei, as the President of the Frost Capital Magic Card Association, generally doesn't show up much.

Especially this time, Tan Huan also knew that the Frost Capital Magic Card Association had sudden matters that needed to be handled, and Li Wei even had to put down the work in his hands to prioritize handling that sudden situation.

It's just unexpected that the other party would show up at this time.

"Basically handled seven or eight out of ten." Hearing Tan Huan's answer, Li Wei nodded, didn't mention too much about that sudden matter, and replied with annoyance, "I came here, isn't it because of that guy Mu Zhan?"

"Some time ago, Mu Zhan once looked for me, saying that their Northern Frontier also had a little guy participating in this Titan Sanctuary trial, asking me to help keep an eye on it."

"I thought he only looked for me." Mentioning Mu Zhan, a look of enlightenment appeared on Tan Huan's face. "I didn't expect that he even looked for you. It seems Mu Zhan thinks very highly of Long Zhi."

"Long Zhi can also be considered the most outstanding genius in our Northern Territory over the years, and his potential is much better than imagined." Nodding, Li Wei spoke again, "If Long Zhi can maintain this momentum, perhaps within a millennium, our Northern Territory will have a chance to produce another Immortal!"

Achieving immortality in a millennium! It sounds like a huge span of time, but for Magic Card Masters with long lifespans, a millennium really doesn't count for much, especially for high-level Magic Card Masters.

After all, just a War General Realm Magic Card Master has a lifespan limit of hundreds of years, and a King who has crossed the first threshold of Magic Card Masters has a lifespan exceeding three thousand years!

Spending only one-third of one's lifespan to have a probability of promoting to Immortal is something many Magic Card Masters don't even dare to imagine in their dreams.

If this sentence were said by someone else, even if the object was Long Zhi, everyone present wouldn't believe it; after all, although Immortals are not as good as the Undying, their number is also pitifully small.

Even people like Cang Fenghua and Yu Haojia have been stuck in the Sovereign Realm for a millennium, which shows that promoting from Sovereign to Immortal is not an easy task.

But unfortunately, the one who said this was Li Wei; the other party is not only the President of the Frost Capital Magic Card Association, but also an Immortal Realm big shot himself, so this gold content has greatly increased.

"Hmm." A hint of agreement also appeared on Tan Huan's face. "Compared to others, Long Zhi is indeed more likely to impact immortality."

Hearing Li Wei's evaluation of Long Zhi, and Tan Huan's agreement, quite a few Magic Card Masters present showed expressions of envy and jealousy.

They also wanted to get such an evaluation from two Immortal Realm big shots!

437. Breaking Through to King Nine-Star

"However," changing the subject, Li Wei continued, "In the four major academies' exchange competition some time ago, although Long Zhi also participated as a representative of the Northern Frontier, the final championship was won by the Heaven Academy."

"In other words, among peers, the Heaven Academy possesses students with more potential than Long Zhi." The results of the four major academies' exchange competition cannot be hidden, so whether it was Li Wei or Tan Huan, although they were not at the scene, they were already clear about it.

Of course, the results were only known to their level; after all, this is not a glorious thing.

If the Northern Frontier won the four major academies' exchange competition, then with Mu Zhan's personality, he would naturally have a lot of grand publicity; after all, in the previous academy competition, the other party had done so.

But unfortunately, the Northern Frontier lost this time. Therefore, whether it was Mu Zhan or others, they wouldn't publicize this point, and even the results of this academy competition were left unsettled.

"Heaven Academy?" Tan Huan shook her head. "Back then, the Eastern Territory produced a Meng Ningdie, and she was also taken in as a student by Lady Night Queen. Even if it is Long Zhi, his talent is still a bit worse than Meng Ningdie's."

Although Tan Huan is a Northern Territory Magic Card Master, she still holds full respect for the Night Queen. Or rather, she holds full respect for the four major Territory Lords.

It has nothing to do with anything else, purely because of the reason of strength.

For powerhouses at this level, even if they hold hostility, no matter who it is, they will maintain sufficient respect for the other party.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, the Heaven Academy has once again produced a ruthless person; it's really enviable." Even if they belong to the same Ancient Kingdom, there is still comparison between the four major territories. Now seeing the new generation they had high hopes for being damaged by the Eastern Territory, Tan Huan naturally felt a bit uncomfortable.

"This is also something that can't be helped; after all, these are not things we can control." Although Li Wei was also a bit depressed, he still waved his hand helplessly. "The topic has drifted far; let's talk about this Titan Sanctuary trial; this is the matter we should prioritize focusing on now."

"That's true!" Tan Huan nodded. The four major academies' exchange competition had already passed for a while, and the results were already set. Even if they were unhappy, immersing themselves in the past had no meaning.

What is most important right now is indeed this Titan Sanctuary trial.

Unfortunately, even Immortals as strong as her and Li Wei have no way to investigate the internal situation of the Titan Sanctuary and can only wait here for the final result like everyone else.

……

"A total of one hundred Authentication Cards, not many, not few, the quantity is just right." In the Titan Sanctuary, at the bottom of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, Lu Li took back the Authentication Cards from all the clones, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "Is it intentional, or is the luck really this good?"

Although Lu Li felt that his luck was indeed not bad along the way, the number of Authentication Cards obtained was exactly one hundred, which was a bit too coincidental and didn't look like just simple good luck.

"It's highly likely that it was intentional; after all, toward the end, often two or three clones found the same target, which was the same fierce beast. To say it wasn't intentional to create such a situation is a bit unreasonable." If it were really just pure good luck, Lu Li felt that the number of Authentication Cards he obtained would definitely not be exactly one hundred.

However, he didn't dwell too much on this point, but instead looked toward the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"Then, the next part is the key." Pulling out one of the Authentication Cards, Lu Li stuck it on the empty position at the entrance gate of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

The size of the Authentication Card was exactly the same as the empty position left on the gate.

The next moment, several lines of glowing patterns began to appear on the blank Authentication Card, and with this as the center, they gradually spread and connected to the entire gate.

Rumble!

As if it were a mechanism, after the patterns of the Authentication Card were completely aligned with the entire gate, a violent sound suddenly rang out, and then the gate filled with flowing light patterns slowly unfolded in front of Lu Li.

An ancient aura emanated from the unfolded gate and blew toward him. Even as Decade, Lu Li could feel the heavy historical aura behind the gate.

Clearly, this Heaven-Reaching Tower within the Titan Sanctuary has existed for an unknown amount of time. Perhaps the memory of thirty million years ago at the top of the tower is not a boast.

Stepping across the gate, after Lu Li officially entered the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the gate that had originally unfolded had disappeared, not knowing when.

"This is cutting off the escape route?" Noticing that the gate had disappeared, Lu Li didn't show much surprise, but the Ride Card Box Sword in his hand slashed out, and the space in front of him shattered like broken glass, and the fierce beast hiding in the space waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack was directly split in two.

Synchronizing with Kisara's origin, under the blessing of transformation adjustment, Lu Li was equivalent to a human-shaped Blue-Eyes White Dragon. With eight-star perfect-level dragon-type perception, the fierce beast in front of him, which was at most seven-star level, was discovered by Lu Li the moment it approached, even if it entered an invisible state, and was solved in one go.

Stripping Technique!

The body of the killed fierce beast didn't disappear. Seeing this, Lu Li directly threw a Stripping Technique at it. The entity of the fierce beast disappeared under the effect of the Stripping Technique, but Lu Li didn't obtain any materials.

However, although Lu Li didn't obtain any materials, a special energy surged into his body.

"This is?" Noticing the energy surging into his body, a thoughtful expression appeared on Lu Li's face. "No wonder the teacher said back then that if one could pass the Heaven-Reaching Tower trial, one's strength would take another step forward."

The energy that just surged into Lu Li's body was comparable in purity to the energy absorbed in the Dragon Transformation Pool back then, although it was less in quantity, it also caused a fluctuation in the total amount of magic power in Lu Li's body.

If one could obtain energy similar to the one just now after killing the enemies on each floor, then Lu Li was confident that he could break through to King Nine-Star when leaving the Heaven-Reaching Tower!

As the body of the fierce beast disappeared, an illusory gate appeared at the same time at the place where the body once existed.

This illusory gate looked just like the gate that entered the Heaven-Reaching Tower, with a gap just right for inserting an Authentication Card at the very center.

"So, this is the meaning of collecting Authentication Cards?" Holding this thought, Lu Li put the second blank Authentication Card into the illusory gate.

Just like at the beginning, several streams of light covered the entire illusory gate, and after a few seconds, the illusory gate slowly opened to both sides.

"It's really something to look forward to!" Swiping the sword edge, Lu Li stepped into it.

438. This Time, I Won!

While Lu Li was heading to the second floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, the other participants in the Titan Sanctuary also entered the Heaven-Reaching Tower, and no one was unlucky enough to be eliminated in the first stage.

In another independent space, on the first floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, after killing the incoming fierce beast, Long Zhi also released a Stripping Technique on the dead fierce beast.

Naturally, Long Zhi also didn't obtain any materials from the dead fierce beast. An illusory gate emerged at the position where the fierce beast's body disappeared.

But just like Lu Li, a pure energy also surged into Long Zhi's body. Noticing the magic power surge caused by this energy in his body, even though he had already known about this, a hint of excitement still flashed across Long Zhi's face.

He had already reached the Peak King Realm, and was not far from breaking through to the Emperor.
