Chapter 176 Trial Challenge, Knowledge Assessment

The sudden movement attracted all the attention around.

Almost immediately, many people could not help showing up and rushed towards the Starry Tower.

However, just as they were about to push open the gate of the Starry Tower with ecstasy on their faces, they were knocked away by an invisible air wave.

"What's going on?"

"Why can't I get in?"

"Damn, there is a defensive array!"

Several impatient wizard apprentices could not help but cast spells at the gate, trying to break the defensive array.

But after the array landed on the door, it was like a drop in the ocean, without any ripples.

The next moment, a light suddenly flashed on the top of the tower, and several streams of light fell from the sky, hitting the wizard apprentices who attacked the gate.

Several people did not even have time to scream, and they were instantly reduced to ashes.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the people surrounding the tower suddenly changed, and they retreated in panic to keep a distance.

"What is that?" The traveler gasped.

Even though he was hundreds of meters away, he could still feel the strong energy fluctuations contained in the stream of light just now.

That was a terrifying energy intensity that was enough to kill him instantly!

"Spell Turret." Sunan said, "One of the standard combat devices of the Wizard Tower, it can easily kill a three-ring legendary knight in one shot."

The Scepter, Traveler and Rose all looked at Sunan in surprise.

"How did you know?" Rose asked curiously.

Sunan shrugged and did not answer.

With the fate of those unlucky guys as a warning, the wizard apprentices and legendary knights around did not dare to act rashly.

"Get out of my way!"

A cold shout suddenly sounded, followed by a short scream.

Maivic took the lead and flew towards the Star Tower. Halfway through, he casually swung a lightning to kill a wizard apprentice who was blocking the way.

Seeing this, the others retreated to both sides.

They did not have the confidence and strength to fight against a third-level wizard apprentice.

Ignoring the angry gazes of the people around them, the members of the Parliament of Truth all stared at the Tower of Stars, their eyes flashing with excitement or ecstasy.

The tower in front of them was their hope of becoming a wizard!

Without hesitation, Megison and the others immediately took out the talisman stone.

A faint glow emerged from the surface of the talisman stone, quickly spreading to everyone's body, completely covering them.

The next second, more than a dozen people disappeared out of thin air.

This scene immediately caused a commotion around them.

"Gone, no, they went in!"

"Why can they go in?"

"Is it because of the stone? Some kind of medium is needed to enter the tower?"

After realizing this, everyone looked around with flashing eyes.

Among the people present, there may be people holding the same stone!

"Those guys got there first." The traveler sighed.

Having said that, there was no panic in his tone.

After all, they have four third-level wizard apprentices and a three-ring legendary knight, not to mention that there is also Sunan in charge, so they are not afraid of the mob around them.

"Let's go in without delay."

Sunan took the lead and walked towards the Starry Tower.

Seeing this, the others also stood up and followed.

The combination of five people was originally quite conspicuous, and now that they moved, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

When they saw them stop in front of the Starry Tower and spread their palms to reveal the stone in their palms, someone finally couldn't help it.

A wizard apprentice suddenly raised his hand and shot out a black light, splitting the sky and rushing towards Qiangwei.

Almost at the same time, two legendary knights suddenly jumped up, jumped towards Keyi and the traveler respectively, and swung their swords to split the sky and cut them down.

The three people's actions seemed to press a switch, and in an instant, the people around them took action, and dozens of people attacked Sunan and others in unison.

It's not that they couldn't see the strength of Sunan and his men, but in the face of the temptation of the Starry Tower, their greed eventually overcame their reason.

Besides, there were only five targets, not more than ten people like the Truth Council just now, and the besiegers had at least forty or fifty people. With the advantage of numbers, they might have a chance to grab the stone.

As for how to distribute it after grabbing it, that was a matter for the future.

But the next moment, they found out how wrong their thoughts were.

At the moment they took action, the counterattacks of Sunan, the Scepter, the Traveler and the Rose came at the same time.

With the four people as the center, dozens of magic missiles suddenly burst out, instantly penetrating the seven or eight people who rushed to the front.

These sneak attackers, who were at most one-ring legendary level, turned into corpses at the first sight!

Such a scene immediately frightened the rest of the people and made them stay where they were, hesitating and not daring to move forward.

However, Sunan and his four men did not intend to let them go. They cast spells one after another and soon killed the besiegers without leaving a single piece of armor.

These second-level wizard apprentices and first-ring legendary knights were no different from ants that could be easily crushed to death in front of Sunan and his group.

Even though the former had a more than ten-fold advantage in numbers.

After realizing the huge gap in strength between them and Sunan and his group, the crowd that was ready to make a move suddenly stopped.

No one dared to take action anymore, but just stayed at a distance, looking at them with a mixture of fear and jealousy.

Sunan and his four companions didn't care at all, just like stepping on a few ants.

Their attention was all on the talisman stone.

As the talisman stone emitted a faint light and spread to the whole body, the next moment, the five people disappeared at the same time.

When he came back to his senses again, Sunan found himself in a wide hall.

The hall was paved with white jade, and the surface was engraved with mysterious patterns. It seemed to contain some kind of rules and a strange beauty.

The whole hall looked similar to the control center on the top floor of the Dragon Skeleton Tower, but it was more spacious, and there were many criss-crossing gaps on the walls around it, faintly outlined into a rectangle close to the ground, which seemed to be a closed door.

The ceiling at the top was at least hundreds of meters from the ground, and it was inlaid with densely packed precious Yongming pearls, which illuminated the entire hall.

Just as Sunan was observing the hall, a voice suddenly came from the void.

[Detected the entrant, started scanning! ]

[Scan completed, the entrant is a third-level wizard apprentice, meets the inheritance conditions, and now starts the inheritance program! ]

[Welcome to the Starry Tower, wizard apprentice! ]

The void more than ten meters in front of Sunan suddenly lit up, and a phantom emerged out of thin air.

It was a gray-white flesh ball as tall as a person, with dense mouths on the surface and fine fangs faintly visible inside.

At this moment, hundreds of mouths opened and closed at the same time, making a slightly mechanical and monotonous sound.

[I am the tower spirit of the Starry Tower and the examiner who presided over the trial. ]

[According to the rules of the Starry Tower, all entrants can get the opportunity to challenge the trial. If the challenge is successful, they can get the inheritance reward. Do you want to challenge? ]

Sunan did not answer immediately, but looked at the flesh ball who claimed to be the tower spirit with interest.

Without thinking carefully, he knew that the so-called tower spirit was fake, and it was mostly the self-promotion of the creator.

How precious is the tower spirit? Even if a wizard left a legacy thousands of years ago, it would be impossible to be willing to throw the tower spirit in such a place.

Moreover, the tone of the flesh ball in front of him could not hide the dullness and mechanical feeling. The intelligence was obviously not high, at most a little better than Long Lin's housekeeper No. 1.

But then again, the taste of the builders of the Starry Tower is really hard to describe. They actually designed the appearance of the auxiliary intelligent life to be so heavy.

After secretly complaining, Sunan said loudly:

"Challenge!"

The meatball was silent for a second or two, and the mouth on the surface opened and closed again at the same time.

[Start matching trial! ]

[Matching is successful. According to the age and realm of the challenger, the trial difficulty is set to the highest level! ]

[Warm reminder, the trial is divided into three levels in total. Please complete it within 90 days, otherwise it will be judged as a failure! ]

[Now start the first level, knowledge test! ]

As the voice fell, the light and shadow in front of Sunan flashed, and ten phantoms suddenly appeared.

[Please choose three of the following ten materials to elaborate on their names, effects, growth environment and other information in detail. The information density and accuracy must meet certain standards. ]

Listening to the voice coming from his ears and looking at the phantom in front of him, Sunan inexplicably felt a sense of nostalgia.

When he took the exam in the wizard academy in his previous life, it was a similar scene.

"I didn't expect to have to take the exam here."

After sighing for a while, Sunan returned his attention to the test in front of him.

The ten materials include magic plants, rare metals, and other strange things.

Sunan took a glance and understood everything.

These materials are not extinct in the current Starlight Continent, but they are also very rare.

It is estimated that they can only be seen in some classics.

It may be difficult for other wizard apprentices, but it is very simple for him.

Without hesitation, Sunan pointed directly to the first inconspicuous yellow grass on the far right and began to answer the questions.

"Resurrection grass is an extremely cold-resistant magical plant. It mostly grows in harsh environments such as ice fields, volcanic areas, and miasma swamps. Its most famous ability is to revive from the dead. It can be resurrected again when it is almost completely dried. It has a strong mutation ability. In order to adapt to the harsh living environment, it often undergoes certain mutations and evolutions, giving birth to many branches."

"Resurrection grass contains strong vitality. Taking it directly can increase lifespan in small amounts. It can also be used to make potions. It is one of the main ingredients of the Dawn Potion."

[Passed. ]

Su Nan was not surprised at all. He moved his fingers lightly and turned to the second material.

It was a material that looked like a silver-white sapling, but was actually metal.

The leaf-shaped metal surface was shining with starlight, which was extremely beautiful.

"Star Silver Soul, a rare metal, must meet two conditions in its growth environment. One is that there must be a mineral vein nearby, and the other is that it must be exposed to moonlight, and it has very strict requirements on the concentration of energy particles."

"Star Silver Soul has better ductility and magic conductivity than Mithril, and can be used to make magic items or refine puppets."

Without waiting for the meatball to speak, Sunan pointed to the third crystal clear irregular crystal and said:

"Dragon Crystal, a strange crystal born from the dead dragon corpse under accidental circumstances, contains the essence of the entire dragon corpse, and has a wide range of uses. It can be used to cultivate magic pets, biological transformation, manufacture magic items or refine puppets."

[Passed. ]

Sunan smiled. This kind of material identification test was not difficult for him.

Buzz!

Ten more phantoms appeared, but this time they were replaced by ten strange creatures.

[Please choose three of the following ten creatures to elaborate on their names, growth environment, biological characteristics, etc. The information density and accuracy must meet certain standards. ]

"Is it to identify creatures this time?"

Su Nan still looked calm, his eyes fell on the first jellyfish on the left that was emitting a faint blue fluorescence.

The jellyfish was white and umbrella-shaped, with densely packed eyes in front, about 24 eyes, scattered on the head. If you look closely, it will make your scalp numb.

"Umbrella-shaped jellyfish, a group of creatures, usually live in deep sea waters, are highly poisonous. The organs in their bodies can be used to make potions, and the venom can be used as enchantment materials."

Following that, Su Nan picked the second demonized eel and the throat-locking monster, and explained the information one by one.

As expected, the meatball gave a [pass] evaluation.

Passed the test easily again.

"The next one is to identify something, just come on."

Su Nan smiled confidently.

But the shadow that appeared next surprised him a little, it was a book.

[Master the spell and successfully cast it]

It turned out to be learning spells?

Su Nan raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then he felt relieved.

A spell usually involves more than ten or even dozens of knowledge, and many spells are interrelated.

Generally speaking, the more knowledgeable a wizard (apprentice) is, the easier it is to learn spells.

The reason why a high-level wizard can master a low-level spell in a short time is not only because of his high mental power, but also because his knowledge depth and breadth far exceed that of a wizard apprentice.

This is just like a doctor doing a primary school student's homework, it's easy to master.

Sunan simply flipped through the book, and the content on it was a zero-level spell called "Bone Arrow".

He thought about it, and it seemed that there was no such spell in the spell books collected so far.

If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the self-created spell of the builder of the Star Tower.

Come to think of it, since it is an assessment, spells that are not available outside must be given to prevent challengers from mastering spells, which will lead to unfairness.

"Zero-level spell."

Sunan smiled.

Under normal circumstances, a third-level wizard apprentice will take 20 to 30 days to master a zero-level spell.

But he is different. With the golden finger, more than three days is considered a lot.

Concentrating his thoughts, Sunan began to read the book.

[Reading "Bone Arrow Spell Model", "Bone Arrow" learning progress +0.15%]

The progress of spell learning is faster than Sunan expected, and the progress prompt pops up almost every few minutes.

In just two days, Sunan successfully mastered this zero-ring spell called Bone Arrow.

The moment the prompt appeared, he closed the book, stretched out his hand and pointed, and a pale and sharp bone arrow condensed out of thin air and shot at the wall at the end.

With a bang, the bone arrow shattered, and the wall was intact.

[Passed. ]

[Successfully passed the first level. ]
