"He's actually a pinnacle warrior. It seems that the Ministry of War's assessment of a warrior's level is not solely based on the warrior's performance in the Windcloud Roll Hall."
This assessment result surprised Ye Chen, and he muttered to himself.
The last time he entered the Windcloud Roll Hall was when he was at the Second Heaven of the Divine Path. At that time, his strength was many times weaker than it was now.
Therefore, according to Ye Chen's estimation, if it was really based on the last time he showed his strength in the Wind Cloud Ranking Palace, it was already incredible for him to be classified as an elite warrior.
Who knew that the Ministry of War would classify Ye Chen as a pinnacle warrior?
This meant that the Ministry of War did not solely rely on the Windcloud Roll Hall's assessment of a warrior's level, but had other means.
However, this was not surprising. The Ministry of War was the most important institution of the Wu Huang dynasty. It represented almost half of the Wu Huang dynasty's territory and most of the Wu Huang dynasty's resources could be used by the Ministry of War.
The Wu Huang dynasty could even create a unique existence like the Cloud Top Illusory Land. It should not be a big deal for the Ministry of War to create a means to assess a warrior's strength.
"Here, this is your token as a pinnacle warrior. As long as you immerse your consciousness in it, you will naturally feel the various benefits that a pinnacle warrior enjoys." The warrior in the standard armor took out a golden token and handed it to Ye Chen.
The three levels of warrior's token were different.
The lowest level of warrior's token was khaki-colored.
The higher level elite warrior's token was silver.
And the highest level pinnacle warrior's token was golden.
The materials of the three were obviously different.
Ye Chen reached out and took the token. He nodded to the man in the standard armor and immediately turned to leave.
Ignoring the many strange looks around, Ye Chen directly left the camp.
As he walked, Ye Chen began to sense the information contained in the pinnacle warrior's token.
Just as the warrior in the armor had said, Ye Chen's soul power had just penetrated the golden message talisman when a consciousness was transmitted into his mind.
As a peak martial artist recognized by the Ministry of War, Ye Chen could indeed enjoy a lot of special treatment within the camp of the Ministry of War.
First of all, Ye Chen would be able to get an advance of 500,000 military credits from the Ministry of War.
As for elite martial artists, they could only get an advance of 200,000 military merits.
Ordinary warriors could only get an advance of 50,000 military merits.
Secondly, Peak Martial Artists could exchange for almost any treasure in the camp of the Ministry of War. They were not like other Martial Artists, who had to face certain restrictions when exchanging for treasures.
Third, and most importantly, peak martial artists could recruit other martial artists in the camp of the Ministry of War in the name of the Ministry of War and explore the Northern Sea Island together.
A team led by a pinnacle martial artist would be recognized by the Ministry of War. Every combat team would be given special care by the Ministry of War.
Fourthly, through this pinnacle warrior's token, Ye Chen could sense all the nearby martial artists who held the token of the Ministry of War.
As for elite and ordinary martial artists, they could not sense the pinnacle warrior's token.
This function of the token was obviously to prevent foreign martial artists from obtaining it and then using it to sense the existence of the pinnacle warrior.
For the Ministry of War, it did not matter how many ordinary martial artists died.
If many elite martial artists died, the Ministry of War might feel the pinch.
However, almost every one of these pinnacle warriors could be regarded as a future powerhouse. The death of any one of them would be a great loss to the Wu Huang Dynasty.
Therefore, the various rules set by the Ministry of War were deliberately biased towards these pinnacle warriors.
For example, the rules of the combat team formed by the pinnacle warriors clearly stated that in the face of irresistible danger, the captain of the combat team, who was also the pinnacle warrior, could directly escape by himself.
As for the ordinary members, they had to protect the captain and escape safely. If they could do this, the Ministry of War would even reward these ordinary members with a certain amount of military merit.
Fifthly, the pinnacle warrior could use the token to expend a certain amount of military merit to directly remove his status as a martial artist of the Ministry of War and become a loner.
This condition was simply encouraging these pinnacle warriors to take advantage of each other.
Perhaps not to them. As long as a pinnacle warrior could grow, other losses were simply insignificant.
…
By the time Ye Chen finished sensing the many scattered rules, he had already walked to the other side of the Ministry of War's camp.
This place was actually a forest of towers.
As far as the eye could see, there were towering towers everywhere. Each tower had at least ten stories and occupied a large area, spanning a few hundred feet.
There were more than a thousand of these towers, and they were densely distributed all over the place, occupying a relatively large area of the Ministry of War's camp.
"Secret cultivation rooms." Ye Chen looked up at these towers with a smile on his face.
This was the benefit of personally inspecting the Ministry of War's camp in the Cloud Top Illusory Land. Here, Ye Chen could find any place he wanted.
At this moment, the pinnacle warrior token in his hand already had a total of five hundred thousand military merit.
Ye Chen intended to use all of these five hundred thousand military merit to exchange for a chance to cultivate in the secret cultivation rooms in the city.
Unlike other martial artists, Ye Chen's trip to the North Sea Star Island this time was indeed a little rushed.
If he had enough time, he would definitely be able to become even more powerful.
"Pagoda of Time!"
"Pagoda of Rules!"
"Spirit-gathering Pagoda!"
Ye Chen walked past these thousands of towers one by one.
On the top of each tower, the purpose of each tower was clearly marked.
Occasionally, a martial artist would walk out of a tower and leave in a hurry.
Ye Chen was far from the only martial artist who wanted to use the secret cultivation rooms here to cultivate.
"Found it." After walking around the tower forest, Ye Chen quickly stopped in front of a tower.
The words "Tower of Time" were clearly marked on this tower.
As the name suggested, the Tower of Time could change the flow of time inside and outside with the help of this tower.
This effect was very similar to the secret cultivation rooms in the Yuanshi Sect, but there was still a huge difference between the two.
The secret cultivation rooms in the Yuanshi Sect were more like a combination of time and illusion.
The secret cultivation rooms in the Tower of Time here were purely made of time distortion.
As long as a martial artist entered the Tower of Time, the flow of time in the Tower of Time would be distorted with the outside world. It was possible that a martial artist cultivated in the Tower of Time for a month, but only a day had passed in the outside world.
The difference in the flow of time between the two depended on the amount of military merit paid by the martial artist.
That's right, the secret cultivation rooms here could only be activated by using military merit.
Moreover, the more military merit was used, the more the time distortion would be.
It was not only the Tower of Time, but the other secret cultivation rooms around it were also the same. Just like the Tower of Laws, the more military merit a martial artist used in the tower, the more laws would appear in the tower.
In this camp of the Ministry of War, military merit was everything.
"I wonder how many days I can cultivate here with my five hundred thousand merit points." Ye Chen muttered to himself as he stepped into the Tower of Time.
500,000 military merit sounded like a lot, but in fact, it was not too much.
Ye Chen had entered the Tower of Time at this moment. Just to activate the Tower of Time, it would require 100,000 military merit points per day.
Moreover, these 100,000 military merit points were only enough to activate the Tower of Time, which meant that the time distortion in the Tower of Time was one to two.
A day in the outside world was only two days in the Tower of Time.
If he wanted to speed up the flow of time in the Tower of Time, he had to use more military merit points.
