Throne of Seals: White Tiger's Power Lock, I am the God of War

Chapter 94 Entering the Eighth Tier, a Spot in Dream Paradise and a King-Level Demon Hunter Team

three days later.

Feng Yao slowly opened his eyes, his crimson-gold pupils reflecting the blood-red setting sun outside the window.

He felt the power surging within him again—the pure and domineering bloodline power of Tiger Roaring Nebula was slowly flowing through his meridians.

Although the Tiger Roar God has vanished, it has been integrated into his blood and will in another form.

The fractured bones had been set by the healing magic of the priest's temple, but his left arm was still a little stiff, because the meridians that had been injured by Feng Xiu's pressure had not yet fully recovered.

"you're awake."

Chen Zidian walked in, leaning on a makeshift wooden cane, his empty right sleeve swaying in the wind.

Despite the injuries on his face, he couldn't hide the relief in his eyes. Behind him were Ye Qiu and Huang Shaotian, who, though pale, seemed to be in much better spirits.

When Feng Yao stood up, his movements were still somewhat slow. He looked at Chen Zidian's empty right arm, then at Ye Qiu's bandaged chest, and his Adam's apple bobbed a few times: "I'm sorry, it was me..."

"Silly boy," Huang Shaotian interrupted him first, but his sharp tongue remained undiminished. "Who doesn't get injured on the battlefield? The fact that you woke up alive is more important than anything else."

Ye Qiu patted Feng Yao's shoulder lightly, but with an undeniable firmness: "Don't feel guilty for killing the Demon God. If we couldn't protect you, it's because we guys are useless."

Feng Yao looked down at his hands and could clearly feel that the spiritual power in his body had broken through the shackles of the eighth level.

Although it is still far from Yang Haoyu's 100,000 spiritual power, it is already a qualitative leap.

Severe overexertion and serious injury made this the most serious injury he had suffered since becoming a soldier.

However, this battle also brought him many benefits.

The first step is to truly enter the eighth rank, with 30,000 spiritual power and four spiritual apertures.

"Demon God Emperor Fengxiu..."

Feng Yao's voice was deep, and flames ignited in his crimson-gold pupils, "Will he come again?"

"Yes," Chen Zidian said calmly, "but next time, we hope you can help us."

Feng Yao suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his crimson-gold pupils, which was then replaced by an even more fervent fighting spirit.

"I will."

Feng Yao's voice was firm and resolute as he glanced at Chen Zidian and the others. "Next time we meet, I will show him that humans are not to be slaughtered at will."

"Good lad!" Huang Shaotian grinned.

We look forward to that day!

…………

At the high-level meeting in Zhennanguan, a heavy atmosphere hung over the entire meeting hall like dark clouds.

Paladin Commander Han Qian looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The reconstruction of Zhennan Pass is nearing completion. Now we need to discuss two things: first, how to bury the heroes who sacrificed their lives in this battle, and second... how to reward the 21st Demon Hunter Squad."

Upon hearing the words "General-level Demon Hunter Squad No. 21," the expressions of the high-ranking officials present immediately became complicated.

Who would have thought that the leader of a mere general-level demon hunter group would be stronger than the core members of several emperor-level demon hunter groups?
Even more incredibly, it was this seemingly unremarkable team that won the battle for Zhennanguan with an amazing feat.

"How about awarding them merits?" the person from the Magic Temple suggested first, his tone carrying a hint of consideration.

The priests in the temple immediately shook their heads: "That's not appropriate. The demon they killed can earn them millions of merits, and with the merits they accumulated before, the entire group is now equipped with the Glorious Set, so merits are no longer of much significance to them."

"What should we do then?" a member of the Warrior's Temple asked in a deep voice, his tone grave. "They are heroes of Zhennan Pass. If the reward is unfair, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the Alliance soldiers." Everyone fell into deep thought, and the council hall fell silent for a moment.

The achievements of this general-level demon hunter team are too dazzling, even surpassing the usual performance of many emperor-level demon hunter teams, and ordinary rewards are indeed hard to match.

"I have a suggestion..."

The leader of the Emperor-level Demon Hunter Team, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, breaking the deadlock.

Han Qian nodded slightly: "Please speak, senior."

"Dream Paradise is about to open; how about we offer a few spots as rewards?"

"A dream paradise?" The temple representatives looked at each other, clearly weighing the weight of this proposal.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Xiao shook his head: "With the strength of General No. 21, obtaining a spot is not difficult. This one thing alone is probably not enough to highlight his achievements."

A member of the Warrior Temple spoke up: "Commander Feng Yao's strength has long surpassed the general level standard. In my opinion, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to directly promote him to the emperor level demon hunter squad."

"Exception?"

The cardinal of the Priest Temple shook his head, tapping his fingertips on the table. "The rules of the Temple Alliance cannot be broken. If we were to break the rules just because of a single battle, it would likely cause dissatisfaction among other demon hunter groups."

Ye Qiu, one of the two titled Demon Hunter teams who had remained silent until now, said: "The Demon Hunter Team No. 21 of the Class 21 has killed three high-level demon gods in this battle and covered the retreat of thousands of soldiers. Their achievements have far exceeded the standards of the Emperor level. If they are promoted according to the conventional process, it would be disheartening for the warriors."

At this moment, Chen Zidian also spoke up: "Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. In my opinion, we can first promote the 21st Demon Hunter Team from the General level to the King level. As for the Emperor level, we can make a battle agreement: if he can kill ten Pillar Demon Gods within a year."

These words immediately sparked whispers in the council chamber.

Chen Zhan was the first to nod: "This method is appropriate! It is neither too extreme nor too lenient, and it can demonstrate the alliance's respect for meritorious individuals."

This proposal takes into account both practical benefits and special honors, which is worthy of the illustrious achievements of the 21st Demon Hunter Squadron.

The group exchanged glances and eventually nodded in agreement.

……

Meanwhile, Feng Yao led a group of companions into the Tower of Eternity for training.

Feng Yao gazed at the faintly visible gate of light before him and said to Long Haochen and the others behind him, "This is the entrance to the Eternal Tower. Each level inside has different trials that can hone your combat skills."

Holding the azure divine light sword, Long Haochen's eyes were full of curiosity: "Is this a trial ground left behind by ancient powerhouses?"

“Exactly.” Feng Yao’s fingertips traced the light gate, creating ripples. “Although this ancient powerhouse was not a good person, things are neither good nor bad.”

He was the first to step into the portal, and his figure was instantly swallowed by the white light.

Long Haochen and his companions exchanged glances and then quickly followed.

As they passed through the portal, they felt a surge of spiritual energy and found themselves in a circular tower.

The stone wall is covered with flowing runes, and twelve pillars of light float in the center—this is the entrance to the first trial of the Tower of Eternity.

"Each floor has a guardian, whose strength increases with the floor level."

Feng Yao moved his left arm, his crimson-gold pupils lighting up. "We'll split up and break through separately, then meet up on the third floor before sunset."

Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed towards the leftmost pillar of light, his silvery-white battle aura tearing through the air as he clashed with the skeletons emerging from the pillar.

Long Haochen and the others were used to Feng Yao acting alone, so the six of them stuck together...
