It's no wonder people are so skeptical—the results of this challenge are indeed eye-watering.
They have all been through this and know that the first few trials of the Star Tower involve combat against Eighth Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons of the sa level as the challengers, ordinary Eighth Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons that have not yet comprehended the Power of Laws. If they struggle so hard in the initial trials, it would be almost impossible to pass the final trial.
...
Unaware of these concerns, Song Chi continued with his previously determined plan.
The second trial took him nearly four hours.
In the third trial, he faced three ordinary Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons, and it took him just over four hours to complete.
The fourth trial, with four ordinary Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons, took him more than five hours.
The fifth trial, against five Eight-Ard Snake Demons, took him almost six hours.
It was not until the sixth trial that the challenge finally changed; there was still only one Third Rank Level Eight-Ard Snake Demon, but this ti it had comprehended the Law of Earth, and its Law Comprehension Degree was not low, above 0.2%.
Song Chi needed only a little more than three hours for this trial. It was not that an Eight-Ard Snake Demon that had comprehended the Power of Laws was inferior to five ordinary ones but that in this kind of battle, Song Chi's own combat experience was also improving.
The Eight-Ard Snake Demons themselves possessed trendous combat talent, and each close combat exchange taught Song Chi a great deal.
The seventh trial was against two Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons that had comprehended the Power of Laws, taking him over four hours.
The eighth trial, with three demons, took him nearly five hours.
Just like that, ti slowly passed, and before he knew it, two months had flashed by.
Even though Song Chi was primarily concerned with the speed of passing the trials, with the accumulation of ti, he had already cleared through fifty challenges.
After the tenth trial, instead of Fourth Rank Level Eight-Ard Snake Demons, there were Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons with deeper comprehension of the Law of Earth.
By the forty-sixth trial, what appeared were Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons with a 1% Law Comprehension Degree of the Law of Earth.
Trial fifty.
Looking at the five Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons that had fallen in succession, Song Chi's eyes flickered uncertainly.
"Five Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons with a Law Comprehension Degree reaching 1% in the Law of Earth, that's quite generous..."
It should be known that these were rely at the Third Rank Level. For Third Rank beings to raise their Law Comprehension Degree above 1%, this would definitely rank within the top 5% of Cruiser Captains among his own Torch Human Civilization. Being able to offer such level of Eight-Ard Snake Demons for the trial, he could imagine the enormous energy behind the Big Dipper Seven Stars Hall.
Although he marveled at this, he didn't find it too astonishing.
After all, with their Genetic Lineage Value reaching above 81 points, these Eight-Ard Snake Demons were naturally favored by the Law of Earth. Among their kind, there were actually many who could comprehend the Law of Earth to such a degree at the Third Rank Level; it was not as rare as within the Torch Human Civilization.
"I wonder what the 51st trial will bring? Will it still be Third Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons, or will it be Fourth Rank?"
With these questions, Song Chi began the 51st challenge.
As a towering figure of an Eight-Ard Snake Demon, standing over three thousand ters tall, appeared, Song Chi already knew the answer in his heart.
This Fourth Rank Level Eight-Ard Snake Demon was of the kind that had not comprehended any Law at the Third Rank Level. Therefore, after the Fourth Rank Level Law Amplitude Phase, its Law Comprehension Degree of the Law of Earth remained at only 9%, which although much higher than Song Chi's own 0.48%, was still within a manageable range.
But now, Song Chi was sowhat conflicted, wanting to continue his previous plan of actual combat while worrying that the Cang Qiong's main body might suffer significant damage.
After all, this was a Fourth Rank Level Eight-Ard Snake Demon; a 9% comprehension of the Law of Earth was serious business. Song Chi had absolute confidence in a long-range attrition war and slowly wearing down the opponent, but in close-quarters combat, damage to the Cang Qiong was unavoidable, and being temporarily bound by its Petrification Eyes and suffering a critical hit was a possibility.
With this thought, he dismissed the idea. Even with the "Final Blessing" Component, the risks were not insignificant, and moreover, there would only be more Fourth Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demons in later trials, posing a greater threat to the Cang Qiong.
The actual combat plan was only to improve his own combat experience, not to put the Cang Qiong in danger.
Of course, there was another key point: over the past two months, his actual combat experience had already improved significantly, enough for him to absorb and digest for a while. Compared to that, it was ti to give his all to this trial mission.
With a decision made, Song Chi naturally no longer hesitated.
The Cang Qiong's engine and thrusters fired simultaneously, propelling the warship to quickly create a sufficient distance from the opposing Fourth Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demon wielding a massive stone halberd, while the Pure Yang Sword Beam Cannon, Soul-Extinguishing Pupil Light Cannon, and the External Cobalt Piercing Bullet Launcher, three main firepower components, opened fire in succession, unleashing their most powerful attack on the Fourth Rank Eight-Ard Snake Demon.
In a distant Star Domain, within the Shaking Light Star Tower, this place had by now gathered more than twenty virtual human projections.
Compared to the certainty of two months ago, the virtual projections inside the Star Tower had long since changed their attitudes. Each trial required at least several hours, and by now they were well aware that the new challenger was using the interval between challenges to improve certain inadequacies.
"What do you think? Do you feel this one might succeed?"
"The chances are great. Our Shaking Light Star Tower should soon welco its 32nd mber."
