Chapter 190 Material for the Solar Bulwark

Although there were fewer people on the dragon tower, the place was still bustling.

When Su Ping arrived, he overheard people discussing

“It was such a surprise to see that the Tang girl reached the sixth dragon bone this time. Well, in a few more years, reaching the seventh and eighth dragon bones will be a piece of cake for her!”

“I stopped at the third dragon bone. Those talents are stunning.”

“Comparisons are odious. I heard that reaching the ninth dragon bone is quite beneficial. But for us, that is an extravagant hope. I suppose that those from the big families will be the ones able to reach the ninth dragon bone, sooner or later.”

Su Ping was surprised to hear that reaching the sixth dragon bone was considered as the focus of everyone’s attention.

“Which is the highest dragon bone someone has ever reached?” Su Ping asked a pa.s.serby.

This man didn’t expect this question from a young man but he didn’t belittle him, nor did he react impatiently. Instead, the man checked Su Ping up and down. The young people that could enter the Mysterious Realm were most likely from powerful backgrounds. Only a few would go there merely for fun.

“People say there was once a person who reached the seventh dragon bone. But that is just a story and no one can prove it. At the moment, guys like Tang Ruyan and Feng Tianming can only reach the sixth dragon bone,” the man answered. Su Ping breathed in relief.

That was to say, those people had a long way to go when it came to reach the ninth dragon bone.

The real tests started at the seventh dragon bone. Only those who had a below-average or above apt.i.tude could survive the seventh dragon bone.

To reach the eighth dragon bone, they would have to be at least average in apt.i.tude. His Inferno Dragon was only able to reach the eighth dragon bone!

At the ninth dragon bone, they would have to be above average in apt.i.tude at the very least! The dragon bones had been set up by the old dragon king to test the potential legacy recipients’ abilities. From the fourth to the sixth level would require the hopefuls to be advanced battle pet warriors. People would have to have abilities equal to the ninth rank at the sixth dragon bone!

But from the seventh dragon bone onward, the challenges would be adjusted according to the actual abilities of those who tried their luck in the test. At the seventh dragon bone, if people who came were at the seventh rank, they would encounter an eighth or a ninth-ranked dragon soul. But if the warriors were at the ninth rank, they would meet the soul of a beast king!

That was why those aiming for the test were the young and talented people. The older generation could pa.s.s the first six dragon bones easily, but it would be hard for them to pa.s.s the other dragon bones. After all, even the strongest of all, the ninth-ranked t.i.tled battle pet warriors would find it difficult to face the soul of a beast king. They would practically have to fight a beast king-level dragon! That was for the seventh rank. Above the eighth and the ninth rank, t.i.tled battle pet warriors might even encounter beings stronger than beast kings!

Su Ping had yet to reach the fifth rank. Once he reached the ninth dragon bone, he would encounter a ninth-ranked dragon soul. But he could solve the problem with the Inferno Dragon and the Little Skeleton. After all, as a battle pet warrior, pets were a part of his powers.

That being said, if he were to summon pets for the fight when the Inferno Dragon and the Little Skeleton were in action, they could not leverage Su Ping’s strength. That was because of the restraints of the contract. Su Ping was the master and the pets were the subordinates.

The subordinates could not overrule the masters.

The masters could not fully control the subordinates.

Su Ping could borrow his pets’ strength, and see them as a part of himself but it did not work the other way around. The best Su Ping could do was to use some augmentation skills to help his pets.

Gazing at the towering dragon bones, Su Ping thought to himself, She’s already the center of attention just by having reached the sixth dragon bone. If I take the challenge now, I suppose I will alert many big potatoes…

He made up his mind a moment later. He decided to return later, to take the challenge before he had to leave. The current priority was to explore the dragon scale lands.

Su Ping left the dragon tower and went to the entrance portal.

Many teams were still lined up there. Some teams were recruiting new members but few would accept such offers. Anything could happen inside a Mysterious Realm. Cannibalism was a common occurrence when rare treasures were uncovered. In such cases, the teams would get rid of the temporary outside help before they divided the treasures among their original members.

Su Ping threw a casual look and went to the back of the line.

Not long afterward, some teams noticed that Su Ping was alone, so they went to invite him to join.
