Of course, people at the level of Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai could not do anything about such a big matter.
It was not that Kang Shin-mu felt that it was none of his business, but he felt that he could not help much. Even if he went to the battlefield and faced the enemy powerhouses, he would not be able to do anything.
He might as well improve himself as quickly as possible. Only by becoming stronger could he be of any use to the situation.
Moreover, Kang Shin-mu did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Dragon Gods Great World … Admittedly, he had started by cultivating the Divine Dragon's inheritance, but now he also cultivated the inheritance of the Demon God Race and the inheritance of the Void Human Race's Power of Void.
The Dragon Gods Great World had previously allowed the Dragon Martial Continent to be fought over and enslaved by the Nine Races. This matter still made Kang Shin-mu feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, no matter what, he was still a member of the Dragon Gods. If it really came to a time when he needed to fight, he would not hesitate.
Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai walked together in the Holy Lands of Five Extremes Mysterious Ice toward the Sacred Tower. Along the way, they saw many people discussing the situation of the challenge.
The Sacred Tower had a total of nine levels.
The number of levels one could pass determined the class of disciple.
Moreover, because there were many people challenging the levels every year, it was impossible to let people start from the first level. Every time, they would directly decide on a level and challenge it themselves. If they passed, they would directly become a first-class disciple.
If they did not pass, they would fail.
For the disciples of the Holy Lands of Five Extremes Mysterious Ice, challenging the levels was also a way to improve. Similarly, they only had one chance to choose a level every year. For these disciples, their improvement was basically smooth. They only had to challenge a higher level every year.
But for the newcomers who wanted to become a disciple of the Holy Lands of Five Extremes Mysterious Ice, for example, Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai, the level they chose was very important.
Kang Shin-mu planned to challenge the fourth level directly, while Xiao Bai was preparing to challenge the third level. With their current combat strength, it should not be too much of a problem.
Of course, accidents could happen at any time, so even if the two of them weren't very confident, their chances of success were already very high.
Kang Shin-mu had to become a fourth-class disciple. Otherwise, Xiao Bai might be bullied by others … This was something Kang Shin-mu didn't want to see.
As for Xiao Bai, she could definitely pass the second level with her strength, and she had an 80% chance of passing the third level. She was already very strong, but it was said that passing the Sanctum still depended on some luck. It was not a matter of strength.
This also had to do with improvisation.
Soon, they continued to move forward in the Five Extremes Dark Ice Holy Land, following the people coming and going, and arriving in front of an ice tower that towered into the clouds!
The entire Sacred Tower was extremely tall and wide, occupying a vast area!
Tens of thousands of people surrounded the Sacred Tower, observing the situation above, but it didn't seem crowded at all.
There were more than a thousand rooms on the same floor of the Five Extreme Profound Ice Pagoda.
Even if thousands of Dragon Martial Artists came at the same time, they would be able to break through at the same time.
Therefore, the area it occupied was definitely not small.
The tens of thousands of people outside were either queuing up for the challenge, or they had already completed the challenge and were outside discussing, waiting for people, and the like.
When Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai arrived, they saw that there were many people wearing the Five Extreme Profound Ice Holy Land disciple uniforms around the Sacred Tower, guarding the entire Sacred Tower. There were a total of eight directions, and each one was guarded by a Super Divine Dragon expert.
Moreover, these experts were all super strong existences at Super Divine Dragon level seven and above. Each of them had the strength to take charge of an area!
With them guarding outside, no one dared to cause trouble at this time.
As for the order of clearing the levels, there was a man and a woman in each direction, and two seventh-class disciples were in charge. There were quite a number of seventh-class disciples, but there were fewer eighth-class and ninth-class disciples.
Every year when the Sacred Tower opened, sixteen seventh-class disciples were arranged to be in charge of clearing the Sacred Tower.
When Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai arrived, they immediately queued up at the same place. After queuing for a full two hours, it was finally their turn to register. After registering, they had to wait.
This was because everyone took a longer time to clear the levels, and it wasn't something that could be settled in a short period of time.
Therefore, they probably had to wait for about six hours before the third and fourth levels of the Sacred Tower would be empty.
When they found out that it was Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai's first time challenging the Sacred Tower, the two seventh-class disciples looked at them strangely, most likely thinking that these two rascals were a little too arrogant.
After all, very few people could challenge the third level the moment they came up, and even fewer people would challenge the fourth level.
Of course, the number of people challenging the fourth level of the Sacred Tower was much fewer than the third level. However, because the total number of checkpoints on the fourth level was also fewer, and the number of people challenging at the same time was only 30% of the number of people on the third level, Kang Shin-mu's wait time was no less than Xiao Bai's.
After registering, they waited outside, and at the same time, paid attention to the surrounding news.
Now that Kang Shin-mu had fused with the perception of the Nightmare Beast, he could clearly hear the contents of many people's conversations around him.
As for the content of the Sacred Tower challenge, Kang Shin-mu had a rough understanding of it.
There were a few methods in total, and among them, the most common was a one-on-one battle. You would be given an opponent to fight with, and if you could defeat them within the specified time, you would pass. Points would be calculated according to the time you defeated the opponent.
You would only pass if you scored 60 points. Of course, the age bonus was also deducted.
As for Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai, they weren't even 30 years old, so they wouldn't have too much of a disadvantage because of their age. However, there were no additional benefits to challenging the levels at such a young age.
Apart from this method, there was also a method that required the challenger to hit some fast-moving targets. There would be a total of 100 targets, and each level's speed would be different. Some would even use the power of the void to distort space, and then travel through it. There were many other methods.
For Dragon Warriors who weren't 30 years old, as long as they could hit more than 60 targets, they would pass.
There was also a test of speed. One had to avoid all the traps in a short period of time and successfully reach the destination. In this method, the shorter the time taken to reach the destination and the more traps they avoided, the higher the points.
There were many forms in the Sacred Tower, but there were basically no real battles between Dragon Warriors. Dragon Warriors had to face things like traps.
It was said that there would only be battles between Dragon Warriors at the seventh level and above. This was because the traps on the seventh level and above were extremely difficult to make. Even if they were made, it would be very difficult to repair once they were damaged. As time passed, the seventh level of the Sacred Tower would be a face-to-face test for Dragon Warriors.
As for Kang Shin-mu and Xiao Bai, they had to pass the third and fourth levels, so they naturally had to face some of the traps. It wasn't difficult, but it definitely wasn't easy either.
