MTLNOVEL Chapter 453: Thirty-Three Towers
Go!
To the Thirty-Three Towers!
Lin Xiaosu quickly decided, and Blue Demon led him through a few alleys, arriving at a tower.
The tower, from the outside, looked very ordinary.
It's merely four floors.
The height of each floor is extremely high, each one boasting twenty meters in height, and the area is also massive, thousands of square meters.
Yet this type of building, with its unobtrusive exterior decoration, is quite ordinary.
"Four floors represent four major levels, each of the lower three floors has ten variations, the fourth floor has three variations," Blue Demon explained to him.
The actual building only has four floors.
Why is it called the Thirty-Three Towers?
Because the lower three floors each have ten variations.
Under the full spectrum projection, it transforms into ten scenarios.
If each scenario counts as one layer, one actual floor turns into ten layers.
"Got it, I'm going in!" Lin Xiaosu entered gracefully.
Behind them, two Qianlong Gold Medals walked side by side, catching sight of Lin Xiaosu disappearing into the Thirty-Three Towers from behind, both were taken aback.
"Who is he? A new brother?" one of them said.
"He is Lin Xiaosu! The one who made a big splash yesterday."
"Is it him? Is he... trying to climb the Thirty-Three Towers?" The first one's expression slightly changed, showing excitement.
"Every new brother who enters undergoes tower testing. Although he's not part of Qianlong, I'm sure those upstairs aren't particularly excluding him, not surprised."
"Not surprised? You haven't seen where the real excitement lies!" The first person said: "This Lin Xiaosu is full of surprises; everyone says his real combat power might have already reached the Heavenly King Realm."
"Already at the Heavenly King Realm? Could we be fortunate enough to witness the birth of a Heavenly King?" This one too got excited.
Blue Demon was about to activate the Dragon Eye when she suddenly turned back.
A fragrance wafted from behind her as Miao Yin Heavenly King appeared, moving in closer: "He's climbing the tower?"
"Mm!"
One word answer, a blush flew over Miao Yin Heavenly King's cheek: "Will he set foot in the Heavenly King Realm?"
"Others may doubt, but we shouldn't!" Blue Demon said: "The only suspense is whether he will join the seven Heavenly Kings on the 32nd layer, or ascend to the thirty-third layer alongside Jing Lei."
Miao Yin Heavenly King's gaze slowly moved, landing in her eyes: "Did you encourage him for this climb?"
"Yes!"
"Why must you push him to stand at the vortex?"
Blue Demon lightly exhaled: "I'm not trying to push him to the vortex, but under the current situation, he's already standing there, the only thing we can do is to increase his stakes."
Miao Yin gently laughed: "Your intentions are quite thoughtful, sister!"
"What sister? I'm the elder, call me sister!" Blue Demon glared at her.
"Sister, okay? I'll call you sister!" Miao Yin moved closer: "Tell me, sister, how do you really see him, do you plan to make him your brother-in-law or let me see him as my brother-in-law?"
Blue Demon stared at her for a long while, then turned her neck: "He's climbing the tower, yet you still have the mind for romantic gossip? Watching?"
The two women activated the Dragon Eye to watch.
At the riverside where they arrived, inside the wooden hut where Jing Lei was, a young man with blue hair descended from mid-air: "Jing Lei! Lin Xiaosu is climbing the tower!"
Anyone daring to call Jing Lei by name without adding Heavenly King afterward must be King Level.
This young man with blue hair is the Heavenly King Xue Feng.
He has always seen Jing Lei as an idol, and they also have a good personal relationship.
Jing Lei, busy checking data at the desk, was slightly surprised, his hand gently raised, tapping his temple.
He activated his Dragon Eye.
Within the Dragon Eye, the scenes inside the Thirty-Three Towers appeared.
Lin Xiaosu arrived at the entrance, facing the choice of weapon.
There were guns, knives, swords.
Lin Xiaosu's fingertip slid across the screen and clicked...
"Random self-selection?" Heavenly King Xue Feng grinned: "This kid, very confident indeed."
What does random self-selection mean?
It means that after entering the full spectrum projection mode, whatever is inside, he randomly chooses them.
If there's a tree, he can break a branch; if there's grass, he can take some grass; if there's a stone, he can choose a stone; his opponent's weapon, as long as he can snatch, he can snatch it.
Under the full spectrum projection, everything is highly realistic.
As long as the system determines you successfully snatched the opponent's weapon in the real state, in the spectrum state, you've actually snatched their weapon.
Though theoretically, in the full spectrum projection, you have many choices, everyone ultimately has their own familiar weapon, so generally, when people enter the Thirty-Three Towers, they choose the weapon they are familiar with.
Perhaps only those at the Heavenly King Level are exceptions.
They are always self-selecting.
Lin Xiaosu's first choice in appearance is identical to the Heavenly Kings.
Enter!
The scene inside the tower shifts.
A forest appears.
Lin Xiaosu extended his hand, a leaf was in his hand, swoosh!
The leaf pierced the air!
Behind the trees, a sniper's throat was pierced through.
"Flying Flower Picking Leaves!" Heavenly King Xue Feng's eyes lit up.
"No, it's Dakongxuan!" Jing Lei corrected.
The scene shifts, a desert appears.
From under the sand, two figures simultaneously leaped up.
Lin Xiaosu raised his foot, two stones fell into his palm, swoosh!
The two figures emerging from the sand, before the yellow sand on them settled, were already hit...
The scene changed a third time...
"So quick?" Heavenly King Xue Feng was shocked.
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time...
Until the tenth time!
Lin Xiaosu almost didn't move from his spot. With a stretch of his hand, he grabbed leaves, picked up stones, or collected sand. No matter what it was, when Dakongxuan was unleashed, it annihilated everything!
Beep!
The green light turned on!
Time, 9 minutes and 17 seconds!
The first level, breaking through the ten checkpoints, took 9 minutes and 17 seconds.
Miao Yin Heavenly King exhaled gently: "9 minutes and 17 seconds, a new record!"
"Yes, back then Jing Lei first broke into the 10-minute circle, achieving a historical best of 9 minutes and 36 seconds, and today it's been surpassed by him!" Blue Demon said, "This little rascal... it's still my fault, I should have reminded him."
"Don't worry about it, Jing Lei is not that petty, and moreover, his combat power now far exceeds what it was when he first went through the trial!" Miao Yin Heavenly King said, "He wouldn't be bothered."
Maybe she was right.
Jing Lei's face showed not a hint of anomaly at the moment, he laughed: "Sure enough, strong enough! Not bad, very good!"
His smile was very hearty.
The green light was on, representing the entire first level (or the first ten levels) being cleared.
Lin Xiaosu ascended step by step to the second level.
The second-level Gold Medal Zone!
In Qianlong, only those with combat power above Gold Medal are capable of stepping into this field.
Lin Xiaosu looked at the scene all around and was slightly startled.
This didn't look like modern society, it seemed more like an ancient battlefield.
A man came with great strides, raising a sword as he approached, he used a sword!
The sword stance had a certain profoundness.
Lin Xiaosu's body slightly flashed, and this sword brushed past him.
Suddenly, midway, he turned, thrusting a sword towards his back, this switch was beyond comprehension.
Lin Xiaosu turned his head, his fingertips and the long sword crossed over.
The long sword passed through his side, while his fingers pointed at the opponent's forehead.
Barehanded against a long sword, two moves to kill.
The scene shifted to an ancient city.
A person leapt down from a tavern roof, incredibly fast, Lin Xiaosu reached out, grabbed the spearhead, with a shake, disarmed the opponent, and the spear in Lin Xiaosu's hand abruptly rotated, piercing the opponent's forehead, then retracted and threw it back.
Puff!
A man in black, who had appeared at some point behind him, was shot through the throat.
He looked at him with disbelief, slowly turning into light spots and dissipating.
The scene changed again...
The opponents were getting increasingly skilled, advancing from Peeping Level all the way to the Peak of Peeping.
"Fortunately, the pace has finally slowed down! He's already exceeded the time it took you during your trial," Heavenly King Xue Feng laughed.
Jing Lei also smiled lightly: "He doesn't want to clear it quickly, he's been observing the opponent's cultivation traits."
"Observing cultivation traits? Is that necessary?" Heavenly King Xue Feng said, "This is all computer simulated. With his access, he could even copy it back; what's the need for research?"
"It's probably a detective's habit, thinking too complexly about everything," Jing Lei said. "I must say, it's a rare good habit."
"You admire him a lot?"
"Of course! I even look forward to the day we can fight side by side!" Jing Lei said.
Beep!
The green light on the second level turned on.
Indicating all checkpoints were cleared.
The timer board lit up, 18 minutes and 23 seconds.
Miao Yin Heavenly King glanced at Blue Demon: "This performance... a bit less than ours, why?"
Blue Demon's eyes flickered: "Indeed a little puzzling. Logically speaking, the opponents on this level are mostly Ancient Martial Cultivators. In terms of experience dealing with Ancient Martial Cultivators, he should be stronger than us... Never mind, let's see the third level! This level, although he's 99% unlikely to fail, there's still a 1% chance of misstep."
In the third level, the first attacker already had the power of the Observing Earth Realm.
Such remarkable speed, such strong attack power, so exquisite moves, even a Heavenly King must be on their highest alert.
Lin Xiaosu indeed seemed to be very focused, very attentive.
When the enemy appeared, he could always lock on immediately.
When the enemy attacked, he could always dodge immediately.
In a counterattack, he always struck at the enemy's flaw...
Within four to five moves, a sudden strike, the end!
The scene shifted again...
The opponents were getting stronger, by the later stages, comparable to Blue Demon.
Blue Demon unconsciously became tense.
Miao Yin Heavenly King held her hand, her breath almost stopped, capturing through the Dragon Eye the battle that seemed especially intense to her.
She too didn't excel due to her combat power.
Her true forte was in other arts—Subsonic Technique.
Though Subsonic Technique can also be simulated in a holographic state, it's still somewhat different from a real battlefield environment, so, like Blue Demon, her best record is barely touching the Heavenly King Realm.
Level thirty!
Lin Xiaosu had already reached the twenty-ninth level!
After a fierce battle, Lin Xiaosu pointed a finger towards the opponent's face, the opponent cut down with a knife.
Suddenly, a leaf flew up from Lin Xiaosu's fingertip, shattering the opponent's forehead first.
Beep!
The green light turned on!
Among the Thirty-Three Towers, a golden line scrolled by in sync.
Outside the tower, countless people abruptly looked up, staring in astonishment at the position of the third level in the Thirty-Three Towers, where a golden line writhed like a dragon, tumbling up and down...
"Heavenly King Realm! Someone else has broken through to the Heavenly King Realm!" someone shouted.
With that shout, the entire Qianlong Base was completely in an uproar...
