Pillar of Yita

Chapter 107: The Long Challenge (Part 2)


Another time was the fourth Red Gate, and the situation this time was similar to the third. Fang Hong's status in the battle was once again reversed—this time he was the Immortal Knight, and his opponent was the Construct Lord—and this battle probably updated Fang Hong's understanding of the highest difficulty of this trial.

The opposing Construct Lord was considerably powerful, far superior to any opponent he had previously encountered. From the level of calculative power, even if compared to himself, it was probably not in any way inferior, and perhaps even slightly surpassed. In summary, under the impact of the tidal wave of Constructs, Fang Hong finally dared to use himself as bait to narrowly win by a hair.

If his Sword Bearer had found the opponent a second later, he himself might have been the one to suffer defeat in this battle.

The third Red Gate previously gave Fang Hong enhancements in Strength and Agility, which matched the challenge of the Supreme One. But this fourth Red Gate gave him a rather strange skill—increasing the Magic Power capacity of the Main Crystal by ten percent when modifying a Flexible Construct.

When it comes to modifying Flexible Constructs, the most capable is certainly not the Construct Lord, but the Immortal Knight, as this profession relies on constantly modifying and strengthening its sole main Construct to survive. Thus, Fang Hong wasn't particularly surprised to receive this skill reward.

At this moment, a month had already passed in the world beyond the door.

After a brief rest, Fang Hong formally entered the fifth stage. Reflecting on his journey so far, he suddenly became aware that he had already opened four hundred doors, nearly double compared to the challenger from Ragnarok.

Even though the challenger from Ragnarok might not be the pinnacle among Invokers, as the craft level of Twilight of the Gods has never been very high in the domestic league. But this so-called not very high is at least Guild-level, and who among those who could enter here could be simple?

Honestly speaking, even Fang Hong himself didn't expect to come this far. However, the fourth Red Gate also gave him a wake-up call. That high-difficulty battle used up every ounce of his strength. If the difficulty increased in the next battle, Fang Hong felt that it might be tough to progress further.

So, it's highly possible that the fifth Red Gate could be his limit.

He thought it over and felt he could not ask for more.

But after pushing open the four hundred and fifth door—the first Green Gate of the fifth stage, Fang Hong unexpectedly received a prompt: whether to skip the test of control?

The test of control? Fang Hong's first reaction was that he was right, this level's trial is a test for Controllers. And Controllers are actually another name for Fairy Masters; can this level actually be skipped?

But on careful thought, it's understandable. After all, there aren't many Fairy Masters in Eteliria, and the Fairy Master profession has a great incompatibility with other Combat Artisan categories—simply put, Fairy Masters don't have real combat abilities.

However, what Fang Hong was curious about was why set the Fairy Master test at this level if it could be skipped. Why not separate it entirely? Or did the people of the Silver Tower think that Fairy Master professionals could reach this level with their own abilities?

Fang Hong himself found this unlikely.

Moreover, the Scholars of the Silver Tower, who once designed the Fairy Dragon Soul, surely were aware of this point.

Only when Fang Hong thought of this, his heart suddenly jumped at a possibility. Instinctively, he glanced at Miss Tata on his shoulder, who seemed to have thought of the same issue, slightly furrowing her brow.

"Could it be that the Scholars of the Silver Tower truly believe that their Fairy Dragon Soul might succeed, which is why they designed this level," Fang Hong couldn't help but ask, "Are they expecting that one day, someone could bring a Fairy Dragon Soul back to this place for this trial?"

He paused: "That's why this level can be skipped; the general people wouldn't consider it, but for participants with a Fairy Dragon Soul, they can be both ordinary Combat Artisans and Fairy Masters..."

Tata gently shook her head: "I'm not quite sure, Mr. Knight, my memory in this area is quite vague."

"So what do you think we should do?" Fang Hong asked, "Miss Tata."

"That's your decision, Mr. Knight."

Fang Hong pondered for a moment, feeling that the suspicion lingered in his mind, and he looked at the doorway ahead, inexplicably pushing the door open—

Miss Fairy held his neck with one hand, quietly observing the scene.

But the fifth stage wasn't what Fang Hong imagined.

This stage actually went rather smoothly—

After all, with Miss Fairy present, all tests regarding the Fairy Master weren't difficult for the two. The Fairy Master, after all, doesn't possess inherent combat ability, so the assessments leaned more toward examining the Fairy Master's own abilities.

And in this aspect, Tata was almost flawless.

Thus, a person and a fairy all but effortless reached the final stage, the only gain for Fang Hong in this stage was some basic knowledge related to Fairy Masters. This knowledge came timely for him.

After all, among the four schools of Combat Artisans, the Controller School is the most mysterious and least known. Fang Hong himself knows little of this profession, with his only understanding stemming from Miss Tata beside him.
