Chapter 427: Tower Test
After a while, the Dragon Girl, who was waiting in the side hall, suddenly saw Wang Zhifan turning back with four slender and exquisite weapons in his hands, which immediately attracted her attention.

Wang Zhifan was seen holding two sharp blades in each hand. The light reflected from each blade was completely different, showing an extraordinary luster of blue, red, purple and green. At first glance, they were very high-level knife weapons.

However, the appearance and style of these long swords are very different from the Moon-Destroying Dragon Swords that have been seen before. Their blades are obviously narrower, and the overall slenderness has a particularly graceful arc. The guards are also designed to be shaped like petals, which look elegant and unique, as if they are not the products of the Realm of Disaster.

"Master, these are..."

For a moment, looking at the four slightly strange-shaped but very elegant long swords brought by Wang Zhifan, surprise and confusion appeared on the beautiful face of Mieyue Longdao.

"These are the stocks in my warehouse. They are all made by a female swordsmith who lives in seclusion in the mountains, so they look unique. But don't worry, they can definitely withstand your strength, and each one has a special function...

For example, this blade with a reddish glow has a good fire attribute power, and can also increase your slashing destructive power... This blue one is the opposite, it has frost that can freeze or slow down the enemy, and it can also keep you awake and calm... The purple one is the thunder element, using it to attack with thunder damage, and at the same time increase all your speeds... The blue one is the wind element, it is especially suitable for dealing with enemies wearing armor, it can easily break the armor, and it has a sword energy..."

Wang Zhifan introduced the four weapons he brought to Mieyue Dragon Sword one by one, and used words that she could understand to relay the characteristics of these four Black Tower Excellence-level weapons, which made Mieyue Dragon Sword, who had never seen such things, stunned.

In fact, the four long swords chosen by Wang Zhifan all belong to the same series. They are all "Elf Blades" among the Black Tower's excellent weapons, but they belong to the categories of fire, ice, thunder, and wind respectively, so they look almost the same in style but have different characteristics.

"Can I try it myself?"

After listening carefully to Wang Zhifan's introduction, Mieyue Dragon Blade suddenly felt his hands itching, and he couldn't help but open his bright eyes and look at Wang Zhifan to ask questions.

On the one hand, the four long swords in front of her were very unique in shape, which accurately hit the aesthetic taste of a young woman like her. On the other hand, she didn't quite understand the various special effects that Wang Zhifan had just mentioned, so she wanted to experience them herself.

"Of course! You can take all four of these knives, but be careful. They don't have sheaths, so it's easy to hurt yourself."

Wang Zhifan nodded immediately after hearing this and specifically reminded Dragon Sword. There was nothing he could do about it since the Black Tower's series of weapons didn't even come with scabbards.

"Master, please rest assured. I'm not a child who has just used a knife... I'll be back soon..."

The Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword was slightly speechless at Wang Zhifan's reminder, then it couldn't wait to stretch out its hands to take over the four long swords, flew out of the Martial Honor Hall, and flew at high speed into the sky outside Tianyuan City.

For someone of her strength, if she wants to test her sword, she must find a large and deserted place. If she starts practicing right in the temple, she will either only be able to test the surface of her skills, or the surrounding buildings will be completely destroyed.

"Not bad...it seems that she is satisfied with my choice of weapon, at least on first impression."

Watching the dragon girl carrying four elven blades flying away quickly, Wang Zhifan felt very relieved. He had already expected that the other party would be satisfied with the gift he gave.

A woman cannot hide the expression on her face when she likes something, and the excellent quality is high enough to withstand her extraordinary strength. She can at least use these four knives as transitional items.

Wang Zhifan immediately prepared to return to the inner hall, intending to see how far the people brought by Mr. Qingfeng had studied the "photos" he left behind. But before he stepped into the inner hall, the goat-bearded Taoist Xuan Zhenzi, who had been busy touching the bones of a student, stopped him.

"Your Excellency Wu Zun! There are already a hundred people who have passed the bone-touching test. Do you want to arrange the next test?"

It turned out that by this time, the people Qingyangzi arranged to help him had preliminarily selected a hundred young men with the aptitude for martial arts. These young men, together with the elders who sent them here, were gathered in a corner of the hall waiting. If the number of people continued to increase, the originally spacious hall would gradually become crowded.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, please continue to feel the bones. I will start the special test now."

Wang Zhifan responded to Xuan Zhenzi and walked towards the many qualified people in the hall who were managed and restrained by the two Taoist priests who came to help.

He walked up to the crowd and said:
"Young men, the time has come to decide whether you will be accepted into the Martial Honor Hall! Now follow me to the underground palace to start the test! The elders do not need to follow, just wait a moment and the result will be revealed!"

"May I ask what kind of test this is, Wu Zun?"

"Do we need to fight? My child has not yet formally practiced martial arts. I hope that Wu Zun can test him in other aspects!"

"Why do you want to go to the underground palace? Can't we follow you?"

"Silence! No noise is allowed in the palace!"

……

In an instant, the crowd, who had been kept relatively quiet by the Taoist priest who came to help, began to talk a lot, and the scolding was heard again to calm down the parents of the teenagers.

Seeing that the situation was relatively stable, Wang Zhifan immediately led the hundreds of young people, who were either nervous, excited or calm, towards the underground palace, that is, led those who had passed the initial screening into the underground of the Wuzun Hall.

The oil lamps in the underground floor had already been lit at this moment. He had come here once before when he was selecting the Black Tower weapon for the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword. Now he had to use the Black Tower as well, because his test could only be completed with the help of the Black Tower.

Soon, the hundred young men who were brought into the underground palace by Wang Zhifan looked around in this dimly lit place and found that Lord Wu Zun had brought them to a strange thing.

It was a strange black tower standing on the stone floor of the underground palace. Its sharp top just touched the top of the underground palace which was about ten feet high. The overall shape looked completely different from the various towers in the disaster realm. It seemed strange and special.

At this time, this short and wide black tower opened a brass portal, and everything dark inside the door was facing the large group of people in front, as if it was the entrance to a legendary strange secret realm.

"Everyone enter the bronze door in turn! Once you enter, the test will begin automatically! It starts with you!"

The leader Wang Zhifan walked quickly to the black tower, gave a brief introduction, and began to point people to enter.

"As ordered!"

The first person he called out was a boy who looked a little skinny, but he was very energetic and courageous. He walked into the brass door of the black tower without any hesitation and disappeared in the blink of an eye. "Who's next?"

With the first demonstration, Wang Zhifan looked at the other teenagers around him, hoping that they would be more proactive without him having to call out their names one by one.

But the scene of the skinny boy disappearing just now made the other children around a little scared, and someone boldly said to Wang Zhifan:

"Master Wu Zun, this is too small. Can we not let any more people in?"

Obviously, these young men thought that the black tower in front of them was too small and could barely accommodate one person. They felt that there was not enough space inside and so they were unwilling to go in.

"Haha...you little brats, do you really think this is just an ordinary black tower? I'm telling you, there's a whole other world inside it that's very spacious! Hurry up and get in! If you don't even dare to take the test, I won't accept you as my disciple!"

After Wang Zhifan finished explaining, he crossed his arms over his chest and stopped talking, as if to wait and see how you perform.

It has to be said that the young boys were fooled by this. When they heard that there was the legendary secret cave behind the strange copper door of the black tower, and after Wang Zhifan's provocation, they quickly threw away their slight fear and rushed towards the wide-open brass door.

"Let me go first!"

"I'm here to explore the way for you!"

"Don't stop me!"

……

In an instant, young men swarmed in from the brass door of the Black Tower. If this was just an ordinary door, it would be very likely to cause a traffic jam if so many people rushed in at the same time, but Wang Zhifan didn't have to worry about that.

After all, the Black Tower is a mysterious creation of legendary level. It has already set up the operating rules. As long as these teenagers approach, they will be instantly transferred in and start their own illusion test. The user experience can be said to be extremely smooth.

So in just a few breaths, only a few of the hundreds of young men in the underground palace were left.

Among the young men who had not chosen to go in yet, some frowned and stared at the bronze door of the Black Tower which had just performed the "swallowing a living person" with a look of suspicion, while others looked as calm and thoughtful as little adults, scanning everywhere, including Wang Zhifan next to the Black Tower.

But Wang Zhifan did not urge the teenagers who had not yet entered the tower. He knew that urging them too hastily at this time might have the opposite effect, so he chose to wait calmly and silently, letting the teenagers figure it out.

"This tower... people can only enter but not leave... It's so weird..."

A young man in cloth was looking at the dark inside of the bronze door and muttering to himself. If you looked closely, you could see a few beads of sweat on his forehead, and he seemed to be extremely nervous.

"Hehe, it is a bit strange... But we only need to wait for a moment and we will know the result... I will not easily enter a dangerous place, I must be sure of it."

A girl who was dressed like a young master at the side spoke up proudly.

She seemed calm and confident. She still remembered the information that Wang Zhifan had mentioned just now that the test could be completed quickly, so she chose to let others go in and complete the process first, and she would make plans after looking at the overall situation.

"This little girl seems interesting. I wonder how she will perform in the test."

Wang Zhifan, who was standing next to the black tower, cast a concerned look at the girl, but only paid slight attention. His main focus was currently on the interior of the black tower.

At the current moment, nearly a hundred independent spaces are running simultaneously in the Dark Tower. In each space, there is a young man who has just entered and is undergoing tests. The tests that the young men encounter are all similar, that is, going through a small number of trial levels and finally facing the devil!
When Wang Zhifan was preparing for the Martial Honor Hall yesterday, he had already designed his test items, which were specifically designed to test whether the young men possessed the qualities required of a warrior, such as agility, bravery, and tenacity.

On the contrary, he attached less importance to combat effectiveness. After all, they were just children. Unless they were geniuses with inheritance since childhood, one could not expect a child to defeat a vicious demon.

The whole test is basically a combination of mountain climbing and fighting. There is voice guidance at the beginning and key points, so there is no need to worry about the teenagers getting confused and not knowing what to do.

The mountain that the teenagers need to climb is very low, but the mountain road is quite steep. It would be difficult to climb up by force, which tests their courage and perseverance.

If someone is smart, they can think of some solutions, such as ignoring the tricky mountain road in front of them and finding other hidden routes, or sneaking up to the back of a giant bird beside the mountain and taking a ride to the top of the mountain.

In this process, in addition to the inherent risks of each plan, there will also be some weak small animals that interfere with the teenagers' actions. The teenagers can choose to fight hard or avoid them cleverly, but if something unexpected happens, such as those who are seriously injured, they will be eliminated immediately and forced to move out of the black tower to terminate the test.

Once you reach the top of the mountain, there will be a more hardcore battle. The opponent arranged by Wang Zhifan is a demon template he has set. The opponent is only slightly stronger than the boy who took the test, but his appearance is extremely ferocious and brutal, which is enough to scare the courageous little guy into screaming.

This part is to test the fighting talents of the young men. If one is a natural warrior, he should be calm enough when facing a terrifying enemy. Then, he should discover the enemy's strengths and weaknesses through calm maneuvers, probing and observation. He should rely on his own extraordinary performance to kill the enemy, or use the conditions provided on the top of the mountain to solve the opponent.

The so-called conditions include many aspects, such as a sharp weapon placed behind the demon, a special position on the top of the mountain where the enemy can be pushed down and smashed onto sharp rocks, and even a powerful giant bird resting on the top of the mountain. These are enough to help the young men easily deal with the demon that looks very scary.

In short, the tests set by Wang Zhifan were well guided, without any overly complicated steps. In theory, an excellent teenager could pass all of them in less than half a cup of tea.

As for security, it is flawless.

Because all the young men are actually trapped in an illusion and undergoing tests, they will think that everything around them is real. When they are injured, they will feel the pain and see the blood flowing from the wounds with their own eyes. But once they are moved out of the black tower, they will find that not only are they unharmed, but even their clothes are spotless. At most, they will feel that their physical strength is depleted.

These significant advantages are the reason why Wang Zhifan chose to use the Black Tower to arrange the test. He can trap people like a game designer, and at the same time set up the illusion mode to avoid damage that is difficult to eliminate in reality. He can also explore the true nature of the person being tested in an extremely "real" crisis. It is simply perfect.
