Chapter 61: A Step Away from Victory
After some deliberation, Jiang Wanshang chose a Mystic-grade sword and raised her cultivation level to the fifth rank of Mortal Awakening.
Dealing with gray wolves that hadn't even unlocked their spiritual wisdom didn't require excessive power. If she couldn't handle them with her current setup, she felt her years at Soaring Cloud Academy had been wasted.
Besides, the first floor of the Tower of Trials had cultivation restrictions. In simple mode, the maximum allowed cultivation level was the peak of Mortal Awakening.
