Keys To The Gate 21 Making Moves

Tristan smiled. "I was expecting you, Mr. Liu." Liu Daobai also had an unnatural expression on his face. The young girl Tina suddenly looked at White Star with anger. "Swindler! You cheated me!"

Liu Daobai wanted to beat this stupid daughter up. She wasn't satisfied with selling his items now she is making chilli sauce with the seller?

White Star laughed. "Did I swindle you? I gave you many hints that you were underselling good stuff as trash, but you were more interested in swiping images on Instagram. I didn't quote the price, i paid what you quoted without bargaining!"

When Tina heard that she was dumbfounded. But then she realized that he was indeed correct. She looked at her grandfather with fear. Her grandfather simply shook his head in disappointment.

Tristan looked at the situation. "I do not wish to be on bad terms with the government because of a misunderstanding. I have a use for those items so I won't return it to you. How about five drops of Life Essence liquid as an exchange?"

Liu Daobai was shocked. "So much? You know what those things are?" Tristan nodded. "I have some knowledge about it, it will be helpful to me in the future." Then he took out five bottles with 1 drop of life essence each and gave it to Liu Daobai.

Tristan then made his way out of the party through the secret escape route for VIP Box 1 and after several disguise changes went home. He had gained a lot from the Auction, but he had also owed a lot mainly to the Temptation Merchant. He managed to obtain several opportunities, which made him happy.

Tristan decided that the first thing he needed to do, was to complete the Physical Evolution Quest. The best way to do that would be to partic.i.p.ate in the War Conference's combat tower. He read some information about the Combat Tower and the fact that it taught the Ares Tactics from the very basics through the tower was very appealing to Tristan.

Ares Tactics was the most powerful and flags.h.i.+p combat art of the War Conference. It was invented by an ancient predecessor of the guild and he was the one who built the tower as a legacy to train future generations in the art.

Tristan contacted War Conference through the Vast Expanse, wis.h.i.+ng to use the Combat Tower as soon as possible. War Conference did not delay either and two days later was set as a time for Tristan to enter the combat tower.

Two days later, Tristan had arrived at a tower that was erected in the sea. He had to take a boat to come here from Coastal City. The tower was hidden from the ordinary world using illusion formations and the area was labelled as a no fly zone.

At the tower, Tristan, dressed as White Star, saw several guards guarding the entrance to the tower. The tower began at sea level and then kept going downwards until one reached the bottom of the sea bed.

Tristan nodded towards the War Conference guards, before showing the token that was given to him by the War Conference and then entering the Tower.

When he entered the tower, it felt like he had entered another world entirely. There was no light only infinite darkness. Then in front of Tristan a replica of his own appeared. The replica did not pay attention to Tristan and simply punched in a peculiar manner.

The punch had a slight twist in its movement and it felt like it used every muscle in the hand to execute the punch. The replica continued to punch again.

Tristan understood and began attempting to copy the punch. But no matter how much he punched he wasn't able to get the exact copy of the punch his replica made. This routine went on for hours, but Tristan noticed that he never felt tired, which startled him.

After what felt like forever, the punching replica finally disappeared. Tristan wondered to himself if he had mastered the punch. But then another replica appeared that began a kick.

This cycle repeated again and again until a set of basic combat tactics had been drilled into Tristan's brain. When it ended, Tristan finally sighed. He wasn't physically exhausted, but he felt mental exertion.

Now his surroundings changed into an arena. An opponent appeared, it was a replica of himself. The two fought, but the replica made quick work of Tristan. He had learned the moves but not the tactics. However the battle began again. He was defeated again. Yet with each battle Tristan kept lasting longer and longer until finally he defeated his opponent. When he succeeded a beam of white light entered his head and he had an enlightenment regarding the tactics used in this battle.

At the same time, Tristan noticed that his counter in the Physical evolution quest had increased by one. Then Tristan was taken to the next level.

He had to fight himself again. The moves were also the same. But the tactics to use the moves had changed again and Tristan lost quickly. The cycle continued on and on until Tristan beat his opponent. Then he received an enlightenment regarding the second tactic.

Tristan kept on losing hundreds of times before finally winning and defeating his opponent for all of the 20 different tactics. At this point he was really mentally exhausted. Most people who took the trial would quit at this point, because of two reasons. The first time one enters the trial, the next test would be almost impossible to pa.s.s because of elevated difficulty due to fatigue from learning the moves. The second reason was simply that the next challenges were simply too hard. Till now, one could say was just a training simulation and now the real test begins.
