Chapter 1385 - 543: Number 9 and Number 10_3
Because according to what Alka knows, after reaching the Eighth Stage, unless one becomes Divine, it’s unlikely for one’s power to undergo a qualitative change.
But does it still need one or two years?
Alka silently thought.
Then it’s about time they nearly complete collecting all the Trial Towers.
The Sound of Dawn sails.
Time flies.
Another Trial Tower, under Alka’s control from the outside, enters the small world.
When this Trial Tower descends, the Trial Towers within the small world reach ten.
Only the last two Trial Towers remain.
Not to mention, among them, Number 12 is the one they’ve used before, the Trial Tower they are most familiar with.
This journey of collecting Trial Towers, which has taken so many years, is gradually nearing its end.
The Memory Battlefield once again receives an enhancement.
This time, from the battlefield of recovery records, a section of the Memory Battlefield can be divided out, only capturing this one segment.
It means the kind of grand battlefield they face can be reduced to single combat with just one opponent, turned into a solitary duel arena.
"How long can you hold out on the battlefield recently?" Juanlu stood beside the Memory Battlefield, looking at Pororo, who had just come out from the battlefield.
Pororo rubbed his somewhat swollen head, pointing to a stone monument not far away.
It’s called a stone monument, but the numbers and texts on it do change.
It clearly chisels Pororo’s name, followed by the time.
"108."
𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Interestingly, even for those above Pororo, the time is also 108.
This means the longest duration on the Trial Battlefield is only 108 hours.
This is because the segment extracted from Nafutos records, although he persisted until the end, was almost infinitely close to death by the conclusion.
So after this war, he became the control center of the Trial Tower: a change made so he could survive.
Although their strength is only at the Seventh Stage, on this battlefield, they seem to have mingled for so long, they’re accustomed to the rhythm and fighting style of the entire battlefield.
They can fight steadily, cooperating with their companions, persisting until the end.
The combat experience over these years has grown rapidly.
The intensity of daily battles surpasses the sum of all their previous battles.
Under such circumstances, how could their fighting skills not skyrocket?
"Nafutos also wants to keep this stone monument, reportedly at Alka’s suggestion.
Saying if there is such a ranking, it can effectively stimulate the Trial Takers’ competitive spirit."
"Is that so? But upon reflection, it might be right."
At this time.
On the outside deck.
Alka stands on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, looking at the distant sea surface.
A drifting island floats in not far from the sea surface.
Judging by the island’s appearance, it’s not quite like a deserted island; it could be a Drifting Island.
In this voyage, encountering such islands from time to time is quite normal.
"Should we approach?" Chadite asked nearby.
At this moment, Alka slightly turned his head, looked upward.
The place he looked at was the lookout chamber at the treetop.
Jason was inside, watching the island.
"Let’s approach." Alka thought for a moment.
As the Sound of Dawn approached the deserted island, it slowly stopped at a better and easier landing spot.
As the vessel docked, everyone in the small world disembarked.
They gazed at this island.
"It seems no one lives on this island."
"Should we level up on this island?"
Alka suddenly turned and asked Jason.
Jason’s strength had already reached the perfection of the Seventh Stage, comparable to Ulu Liwus, who fell into a deep sleep in the small world months ago.
The Eighth Stage is a node. Even for an ancient Crystal Giant Dragon like Ulu Liwus, it’s the same.
For the dragon race, a node that requires dormancy to gain growth.
After this comes adulthood.
Upon hearing this.
Jason looked at the island’s environment and nodded.
"Good, let it be here."
On hearing this, everyone became curious involuntarily.
Although they’ve seen Alka advance to the Eighth Stage, Alka’s advancement method was rather unexpected.
"Let’s not go ashore, but advance around it instead." Jason said.
Then everyone prepared, the Sound of Dawn stationed around, the roots diving deep into the seabed, some bound to this island.
Soon, Jason was ready.
Meditation had long started its operation, the liquid Energy was already gathering into a Magic Power storm.
As Jason entered, the swirl of Magic Power intensified.
However, compared to Alka’s previous advancement, it was much better.
Moreover, at this time, under Alka’s suppression, apart from the ceaselessly gathering Magic Power storm, the sea and strong wind remained calm under Alka’s pressure.
As Jason advanced, Alka suddenly furrowed his brows, looking at the underwater not far away.
There’s something coming?
It seems the excess accumulation of Magic Power during Jason’s advancement attracted some sea creature.
"Be careful."
Pororo too, vigilantly watched the situation in the seawater and said.
Definitely a big one.
