After passing through the golden giant gate, Shi Feng felt his vision blur for a moment before he found himself standing on a vast, seemingly endless wasteland.
Wolves roamed the wasteland in groups of three to five. Flames licked across their entire bodies, and the eyes on both of their heads glowed with a sinister green light. The aura they gave off was as though they had escaped from the deepest depths of hell itself, hunting for souls.
Phantom Fire Twin-Headed Wolves, Magical Beasts, Lord Rank, Level 93, HP: 27 million Just as Shi Feng was taking in his surroundings, a system notification chimed in his ears.
System: Kill 1,500 Phantom Fire Twin-Headed Wolves within three days. If the player fails to complete this within the time limit, the challenge will automatically be considered failed.
"So this is the Trial of the Tower of Four Gods?" Shi Feng glanced at the system notification and relaxed inwardly. The first floor's trial wasn't as difficult as he had imagined.
Although he had never set foot inside the Tower of Four Gods before, he knew quite a bit about it. The tower had a total of seven floors, each floor a separate world, and each world contained three trials.
These trials didn't have any complicated twists — they were simply about killing monsters. After all, in the Divine Realm, strength was everything, and everything else was meaningless. Otherwise, the kingdoms and empires on the continent would never have been able to defeat those powerful alien creatures and build their massive realms, ruling for thousands and tens of thousands of years.
And for the Tower of Four Gods' trials, the rewards were secondary. For many experts, simply participating in the trials here was what mattered most.
That was because the tower was filled with Eternal Qi, making it arguably the best training ground in the Divine Realm. Here, players could not only freely unleash their skills and magic, but they could also use combat techniques to their heart's content without any fatigue or exhaustion. It was an unparalleled opportunity to sharpen one's fighting prowess.
This was precisely why even God-ranked experts at the sixth tier dreamed of entering the Tower of Four Gods.
Sixth-tier magic skills were far from easy for even sixth-tier God-ranked experts to wield. They could barely bring out the full power of fifth-tier magic, to say nothing of those formidable combat techniques.
However, the ambient mana concentration in main cities no longer had any effect on fifth-tier and sixth-tier Classes. Only the Tower of Four Gods could still help them, allowing them to rapidly improve the proficiency of high-tier magic skills and quickly master powerful combat techniques.
That was why every player who entered the Tower of Four Gods wanted to stay inside for as long as possible, rather than rushing to complete the trials. If they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait another 360 natural days before they could enter again.
Shi Feng glanced at the Phantom Fire Twin-Headed Wolves wandering everywhere but didn't rush to kill them. Instead, he sat down and began carefully examining the loot he had snatched earlier.
Killing Level 93 Lord Rank monsters posed no difficulty for him — it could even be described as easy. Three days was more than enough time to take care of all of them. The loot he had grabbed earlier, on the other hand, had only received a cursory glance. Many items remained unexamined.
Now that he had some free time, it was only natural to go through everything carefully. Perhaps he could even boost his combat power and clear more trials.
After several minutes of inspection, Shi Feng took a deep breath.
Out of the twenty-six items, five were Tower of Four Gods teleportation stones. The rest were mostly Level 90 Gold-grade and Dark Gold-grade weapons and equipment — not a single Epic-grade piece among them. For Shi Feng in his current state, they were all useless. However, if he put them on the market, every major power would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on them. After all, players were still a long way from reaching Level 90.
Besides the weapons and equipment, the rest were various materials harvested from the Storm King Serpent. Things like the Storm King Serpent's scales — those were Epic-grade materials that could reinforce a sailing ship's defenses and increase its durability.
Among all of them, two items in particular excited Shi Feng the most.
One was an Epic-grade rare material: the Spatial Magic Crystal. The other was a Bronze Rank speedboat blueprint: the Storm Speedboat.
"If the major powers found out about this, they'd probably stop at nothing to take me out," Shi Feng said with a laugh as he studied the Storm Speedboat blueprint.
While the Spatial Magic Crystal could repair his Iron Rank Tempest Sailing Ship, it paled in comparison to a Bronze Rank speedboat blueprint.
The Tempest Sailing Ship might be the strongest vessel on the seas at the moment, but in the end, enough ants could still bring down an elephant.
