Chapter 340 -337: If You’re Strong, Climb to the 100th Floor
The Trial had just begun, and Yan Dingtian was not in a hurry. He decided to first inquire about the “Trial Tower’s” challenge rules.
And then, in one fell swoop, claim the level rewards.
“This I know,” Wang Zhou said from the side, “The ‘Trial Tower’ is a mode developed to test an Awakener’s true combat power. The level of Trial Takers will be fixed at the same tier, but their physical abilities will not be completely identical.”
“For instance, in the first ten floors of the Trial Tower, the Awakening Layer is fixed at the First Layer Peak, but even though it’s the First Layer Peak, there is still some difference in each person’s strength and speed, as well as differences between ordinary Awakeners and those with Special Abilities. These variations also contribute to the true amplification of combat strength.”
For example, an Awakener who has used Body Tempering Liquid and has already unearthed their potential, even if restrained to the First Layer Peak, possesses a physical strength ordinary Awakeners cannot match.
Yan Dingtian slowly nodded.
As a Transcendent, his insight, his control and application of power, were far beyond that of others. In the past, he was an unbeatable presence in his tier, otherwise, even upon awakening in the Fifth Epoch, the Transcendent barrier wouldn’t have been so easily broken.
“In the ‘Trial Tower,’ you will face different enemies and also be subjected to terrain restrictions. The higher the floor, the more restrictions there are, and the less room for error. Every ten floors represent a bottleneck. At the Eleventh Layer, the Twenty-First Layer, and so on, the difficulty will increase significantly. It’s both a trial and a clever training method… After passing a certain number of floors and looking back, you’ll find that your real combat ability has improved quite a bit.”
“I see,” said Yan Dingtian. He then suddenly asked, “Didn’t the ‘Trial Tower’ open just twelve… thirteen minutes ago? Fatty, how do you know so much?” ƒrēenovelkiss.com
“Because I participated in the beta test.”
Seeing the still confused look on Elder Yan’s face, Wang Zhou quickly corrected himself, “That is… um, the early test version.”
At this moment,
Many people had already started to tackle the ‘Trial Tower,’ but even more were watching in the ring-shaped hall. They wanted to wait for the first wave of Trial Takers to exit the Spirit Space and then gather intel from them. However, as they suddenly heard Wang Zhou’s explanation, many turned their attention toward him.
Someone laughed and asked, “Fatty Wang, which floor did you reach?”
Wang Zhou held up three fingers. “The Thirty-First Layer.”
“Only the thirty-first? You’re too…”
The inquiring Awakener knew Wang Zhou and didn’t speak too bluntly, but a blonde Awakener nearby scoffed, “A hundred-layer challenge and you’ve only gotten this far? It seems all your strength has gone to your fatty flesh.”
Wang Zhou shot back, “What do you know! A piece of trash like you couldn’t even get past the first bottleneck!”
The blonde glanced at Wang Zhou’s belly and shook his head, “For a hundred-layer challenge like this, obviously, reaching the Sixtieth Layer is considered passing. The Sanctuary has announced the reward tiers are at the Sixtieth Layer, which proves this point. I heard you’re even part of the upper middle management in Green Shadow, can’t believe this is all the strength you’ve got.”
Wang Zhou: “Heh.”
Although each floor of the Trial Tower is quite short, there are after all a hundred layers. Many Awakeners also guessed that the Sixtieth Layer is the passing line.
The rules state that every ten floors is a threshold. If you pass it, even if you fail later, you can restart from layers eleven, twenty-one, and so on. However, since they were starting from zero, to reach the Sixtieth Layer, they figured it would take two to three hours.
Many, upon considering this, decided not to wait any longer and prepared to try their hand at the challenge. The blonde Awakener also started a session and went in.
Half an hour passed, and more and more Awakeners learned of the newly opened ‘Trial Tower’ mode and came from other places. The ring-shaped hall became increasingly crowded.
Meanwhile, some of the earliest to attempt the challenge, to everyone’s surprise, began to emerge one after another.
“Chen, how many levels did you pass?”
“Boss, sixty floors shouldn’t pose any difficulty for you, right?”
“Captain, just tell us, how many layers did you actually get through?!”
Acquaintances quickly inquired, hoping to dig up some information and especially wanting to find out which layer the first group of trial-takers had reached.
However, these people hesitated, started to speak then stopped, thought better of it, and decided not to reveal anything.
The Awakeners in the circular hall were as anxious as if cats were scratching at their hearts, but they were helpless to do anything about it.
The blond-haired Awakener also came out, his expression complex.
When someone asked, Wang Zhou approached with a malicious smile. The blond-haired individual wanted to feign ignorance like the others and not answer, but he couldn’t withstand Wang Zhou’s sarcastic teasing and finally blurted out a few words:
“Although my result wasn’t good, I got one level higher than you, the fortieth layer.”
The blond was a strong entity who had broken through to the Sixth Layer of Awakening, already with a bit of fame, yet he still couldn’t reach the sixtieth layer. Even though the trial results were unrelated to the levels of Awakening, those at the boss level were expected to be stronger than average Awakeners.
Many were shocked by the difficulty of the trials.
Wang Zhou retorted, “The fortieth layer? Then tell me, what was the environment like after the thirty-first layer? How many platforms were there?”
The blond stalled, stammering.
The expressions of the others around them turned strange.
Then, someone operating at the round counters suddenly exclaimed, “The ‘Trial Tower’ rankings are open.”
A crowd rushed over.
Upon closer examination, the name at the top of the list was the mysterious Sanctuary Director Tang Yu, with ninety-nine layers.
But to everyone’s surprise, the person in second place had only reached the eighty-third layer, the unrecognizable strong contender Nancy. There were very few who had reached above the sixtieth layer on the leaderboard, only twenty to thirty people.
Some recognized a few familiar names, Luo Zhe at the seventy-first layer, Eileen at the seventy-eighth, Winnie at the sixty-ninth…
The Awakeners slowly realized the difficulty of the trials. Was the passing mark really the sixtieth layer? No one dared to claim that again, even Chief Instructor Luo was only slightly better than the so-called ‘passing line.’
Among the top-ranked strong contenders, only Director Tang’s number of layers matched what they had imagined. But given the unexpected difficulty of the ‘Trial Tower,’ Director Tang’s strength might even surpass their expectations.
Yan Dingtian stared at the rankings list, silent for a long time.
Could it be that Green Shadow’s Director Tang was also a high-level Transcendent, with strength far surpassing that of the black-haired girl?
Everyone speculated, but no one knew that the strongest in their eyes, Director Tang, had reached the ninety-ninth layer by exploiting a loophole.
But Tang Yu’s loophole was legal.
The ‘Trial Tower’ limited the level, and many ability users saw a significant decrease in their abilities after their levels fell. However, as a ‘Fake·Architecture Ability User,’ when his level fell and his spiritual power weakened, summoning buildings just took a bit longer, but the power of his defensive structures remained undiminished. With this advantage, he left everyone far behind.
If he excluded his personal domain, his best result was reaching the seventieth layer, which for Lord Tang, was an acceptable achievement.
There were lively discussions throughout the circular hall, and around the cylindrical counter, numerous Awakeners stared at the touchscreen machines, scrolling down through the rankings.
Wang Zhou squeezed closer, looking at the blond, “I hear your score was on the fortieth layer, so how about we look for your name on the leaderboard? The fortieth layer, is it there?”
