After the strategy guide for the White Emperor came out, Zhao Mingwei also successfully triggered the hidden instance nicknamed 'Strength Trial' by the players, following the content from the White Emperor's guide.
The NPC that helped open the instance was a Black Ash Knight, perhaps because the dog planners also took the players' opinions into account and deliberately arranged a wild Black Ash Knight at the entrance of the Path to Ascension to assist players in opening the instance.
As long as the player had defeated the Governor-level of the Path to Ascension, they were eligible to temporarily recruit a Black Ash Knight into their team.
After the power-leveling task was finished, the Black Ash Knight could help the player open this hidden instance.
"Your strength incarnation has gone berserk to the extent of harming the client, but I'll assist you in suppressing your strength incarnation, so there's no need for undue worry," said the Black Ash Knight.
