Chapter 186: Registration
At this time, Xia Ping did not know about the disturbances in Tianshui City. He put on his mask and quickly advanced towards the Black Moon Tower, quickly arriving at its entrance.
As soon as he reached the door, he was greeted by the sight of a stone statue of a gigantic nine-headed golden eagle. It was nearly thirty meters tall, with nine heads, and every eye was staring at him.
In that instant, a terrifying, fiendish aura spread out and covered Xia Ping"s entire body. It was as if the entire world had fallen into endless darkness, as if he were in the depths of the Primordial World, isolated and helpless.
It was not only Xia Ping who was affected. All the martial artists that entered the Black Moon Tower felt this aura, and their faces turned pale. Some of them even collapsed to the ground with trembling legs.
"Don"t look at it!"
A deep voice roared angrily from the side. It was a middle-aged man wearing black clothes, and his face carried a suppressive might. He seemed to be a martial artist. "This is the sculpture of the nine-headed golden condor, a beast of the King"s Realm." It contains the aura of a King Realm expert. "If you dare to look at it directly, you"ll instantly be severely injured and have your mind damaged."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly avoided the nine-headed golden condor"s eyes. They also felt the pressure on them lessen quite a bit. As expected, if they didn"t fight back, the other party"s aura wouldn"t be transmitted.
"It"s just a statue; why is it so powerful?" Someone asked in confusion.
The middle-aged man shook his head and revealed a look of fear. "This isn"t just a sculpture." "The eyes on the sculpture are the eyes of a real nine-headed golden eagle."
"This is a King Realm expert, the Darkmoon King." He fought it for three days and three nights before he was able to kill this King Realm beast.
"In order to show off his achievements and intimidate everyone, he merged the eyes of the nine-headed golden condor into this stone sculpture."
"Thus, this stone sculpture also contains the tyrannical aura of a King Realm monster."
Everyone was shocked. The entrance of the Black Moon Tower was merely for the sake of showing off and shocking everyone, yet the eye of a true King Realm beast was actually placed there. How shocking was this?
Just these eyes alone were worth more than 50 billion Federation coins. Moreover, they were priceless. Even if one had money, no one could buy them.
"Impressive!"
Xia Ping also sensed the aura of this stone statue. The gap between him and this King"s Realm beast was simply too great. It was like the difference between the heavens and the earth.
He reckoned that if he really faced a King Realm beast, it would only need a single breath to kill him.
However, he only sighed with emotion. On the path of cultivation, he was only a rookie who had just started. He shook his head and walked into the Black Moon Tower.
The moment he entered the Black Moon Tower, he immediately saw that the first level"s s.p.a.ce was extremely large. It was simply boundless. Powerful martial experts appeared in this place one after another, entering and exiting with extreme vigor.
Surrounded by silvery-white metal walls, it felt like science fiction.
However, Xia Ping wasn"t interested in looking around and walked straight to the front desk. A female receptionist stood before the front desk and smiled. "Mister, how can I help you?"
"I want to register here," Xia Ping said in a low voice.
Gu Peng had already told him the majority of what he needed to know about the Black Moon Tower. If he wanted to conduct a trial in the Black Moon Tower, he had to do a simple ident.i.ty registration here.
"Very well, sir."
The receptionist nodded and tapped lightly. With a beep, a virtual page appeared in front of Xia Ping and said, "Please fill in your ident.i.ty information."
Xia Ping took a casual look and randomly filled in the fake information. Anyway, the other party would not verify this information. It was just a process.
When he reached the list of names, he paused for a moment and finally wrote the word "Huang."
"Okay."
When the receptionist saw that Xia Ping had finished filling in the information, she immediately revealed a smile. "Congratulations, Huang. You have become one of Black Moon Tower"s 375,68,953 members. "This is your membership card, please keep it well."
With that, she took out a black card with a black moon carved on it.
"Mm." Xia Ping nodded and reached out to take the black card. He knew that if he wanted to move freely in the Black Moon Tower and undergo the trial, he had to have this black card.
"Right, sir."
The female receptionist continued, "May I know which level of trial you would like to choose?" The entry level, the easy level, or the difficult level? Our fee is like this. "In a trial below the martial artist realm, to experience the entry level, it requires 10,000 federation coins, the easy level, 100,000, the difficult level, 1,000,000, and the nightmare level, 10,000,000 federation coins."
"Any trial for a martial master requires at least 100 million federal coins."
"The trial for the Grandmaster realm requires one billion federal coins."
This was clearly robbery!
When he heard this, Xia Ping couldn"t help but sigh with emotion. Just a single trial required over 10,000 federal coins. If it were a Nightmare level, it would require over 10,000,000 federal coins. This was robbery.
Trials above the Martial Master realm were even more terrifying. There were hundreds of millions of them.
If tens of thousands of martial artists came to the Black Moon Tower to partic.i.p.ate in the smelting trial, then the amount of money they earned every day would simply be an astronomical figure. Just by collecting this amount of money, their wealth would be comparable to that of a country.
"It"s too expensive."
Beside him, a young man in white could not help but cry out in surprise. This was also his first time coming to the Black Moon Tower. He did not expect that a simple trial would cost tens of thousands of federal coins.
One had to know that even if one were to go to a brothel and find a beautiful woman, it would only cost three thousand federal coins per night.
"If you find it expensive, you can choose not to come."
The female receptionist looked at the young man with disdain, as if she were looking at a poor man.
"d.a.m.n it!"
The white-clothed young man"s face turned green, extremely angry.
"Shut up!"
A middle-aged man beside him grabbed his arm and said in a deep voice, "Don"t think it"s expensive. There"s a reason why it"s expensive."
"Is there any reason to slaughter others?" The white-clothed young man was extremely unconvinced.
The middle-aged man shook his head. "You don"t know the mysteries of the Black Moon Tower; that"s why you think so." "In fact, even if the price is incomparably expensive and countless martial artists come one after another, do you know why?"
"Why?" The white-robed man didn"t understand.
Xia Ping blinked and looked at the middle-aged man"s reply.
"Simple."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Because the Black Moon Tower has a top-tier martial arts simulation s.p.a.ce." "It can simulate countless dangerous environments in the world, all sorts of tyrannical monsters, and all sorts of powerful martial arts powerhouses."
"Through this s.p.a.ce trial, you will be able to fight against the world"s top experts." You will be able to engage in life-and-death battles with the world"s savage monsters. "You will also be able to experience the various dangerous environments of the world and gain a great deal of combat experience."
"Such combat experience is not something that can be bought with money."
