Su Ping intentionally stayed quiet to see what would happen next. As he expected, the dragon soul continued regardless of his choice.
"Since that is your choice, be ready to face my trial!"
The voice tried to sound imposing, but it wasn't doing a very good job.
He felt the space around him shake as if there was an earthquake coming. The ground in front of him was ripped open by the tip of a bone pillar, which rose higher until it stood tall like a giant tower.
Su Ping checked and found a total of nine sections, or levels, on the "bone tower." At the same time, the dragon soul spoke directly to his mind again, telling him what the tower was used for.
Apparently, he had to climb this "dragon tower" to finish his trial. By reaching the final level, he would be deemed qualified to challenge the final mission, before acquiring the heritage.
