Chapter 741: Tower of Trials, Start!

“Is it that difficult?” After listening to her father, Jiang Qianxue could not resist asking, “We have millions of warriors in Shenluo City. Do we not have even one genius who can get past level twenty-five?”

“Tough, very tough.” Jiang Duxing took a gentle drag of his cigarette and said softly, “Regardless of anything else, the most important thing is that everyone starts off with their attributes at one hundred points. What do one hundred points mean? It means that everyone is an ordinary person. Even if they can use powerful skills, the human body has a limited amount of energy, and it will get depleted. There will not be much time to recover in between levels.

“The combat is high-intensive and the levels get increasingly harder. The first three levels will be easy, level four to six will be harder. Seven to nine should be the highest level possible for most average fighters. Ten to twelve, warriors who are able to get to this level should be quite strong. Thirteen to fifteen, those who reach these levels will be the cream of the crop from each district. After level fifteen, every level will be much more difficult than the last. So…”

Jiang Duxing smiled. “Just give it a try. Although the rewards are good, don’t feel too pressurized. I believe my daughter is quite strong. Just try your best.”

“I understand, Father.” Jiang Qianxue nodded slightly. “I will try my best.”

Galaxy Alliance Year 2165541, 1 PM in the afternoon.

Throughout the entire Galaxy Alliance Center, a huge announcement projection appeared in the skies of the silver-blue super-planet. This huge announcement projection appeared floating above every Main City. It was tens of thousands of kilometers long and thousands of kilometers wide. On it was rows of text in the common language of the Galaxy—

“People of the Galaxy, the Tower of Trials will be open soon in the virtual world.”

“You are a genius? You have talent but nowhere to use it? You are unable to find a match? Join the Tower of Trials! Here, there are unlimited challenges! There are unlimited treasures! There’s unlimited power!”

“Pass level twenty and you become a red-level Honorary Aristocrat immediately! Level twenty-two, orange-level! Level twenty-four, yellow-level! Level twenty-six, green-level! Level twenty-eight, blue-level! Level thirty, purple-level!”

“There will be corresponding rewards for each level!”

“If you are strong, then, come take part!”

“For five Galaxy Dollars, you get one try. There’s no time limit, no limit on the number of tries, and the rewards will never expire!”

When the announcement appeared in the sky, everyone on silver-blue super-planet got excited!

“God, you actually get a chance to directly become an Honorary Aristocrat! This is great, hahaha! I must join!”

“Haha, the martial arts I learned can finally be put to use!”

“Hurry, hurry, go take a look! It’s going to be great fun this time. Even if we are not strong enough, we can still go there to soak in the atmosphere! Haha!”

Within an hour, countless people from the silver-blue super-planet had logged into the Galaxy Virtual Network and headed toward the newly opened Tower of Trials via the portal network—City in the Sky!

…

Brent Revolving Restaurant, Private Room No. 10000.

“The Tower of Trials is open, everyone gather, quickly!” Li Yang bellowed. “Let’s go in and take a look, check out the situation!”

“Stupid Dali is still sleeping!” Tang Muxin was heard saying, “Lazy pig!”

“Let Young Master sleep a little more.” Li Nianwei smiled and shook her head. She glanced at Hong Dali’s room door and said, smiling, “Young Master must be tired out after the battle this morning.”

“Okay.” Tang Muxin pouted, then grinned and said, “I guess he’s tired. Let’s go in first, then.”

So, everyone returned to their rooms, put on their virtual reality helmets and connected into the Galaxy Virtual Network.

Soon, everyone appeared in Shenluo City in the virtual world.

They had just gathered when everyone got a shock!

In the middle of Shenluo City in the virtual world, a huge tower appeared out of nowhere.

This building was right in the middle of Shenluo City. It was twenty kilometers wide and humongous. The building was made up of numerous levels. From the ground, it rose up into the clouds. It was impossible to see the top!

On the first floor, there were doors one meter apart and at every door was a guard!

On the exterior walls of every level of that huge building was a huge screen. On that screen, all kinds of statistics were displayed.

On level one, the huge screen showed the first group of statistics:

Total number of people in the Galaxy Virtual Network who have passed this level: 92,651,245,215.

Number of people from this city who have passed this level: 32,651,487.

On level two, the information displayed was about the same as on level one. The only difference was that the numbers were significantly lower:

Total number of people in the Galaxy Virtual Network who have passed this level: 65,231,487,956.

Number of people from this city who have passed this level: 22,641,475.

Then, level three, level four, level five… level ten…

When it got to level eleven, the numbers had gone down to 3,312,503 people from the Galaxy Virtual Network who had passed that level, and only 1,206 from Shenluo City!

By the time it got to level twelve, there was only a little over 380 people from Shenluo City who had passed it.

Level thirteen, a little over 120!

Level fourteen, 56!

Level fifteen, 19!

At this time, further up, there were only seven people left at level sixteen. Their names were displayed on the board!

People who have passed so far:

Number One: Valen

Number Two: Macmillan

Number Three: Hidden

Number Four: Hidden

Number Five: Obadiah

Number Six: Hidden

Number Seven: Gu Yan

At that point in time, there were only seven people who had passed level sixteen in Shenluo City! No one had passed level seventeen at all!

There were numerous people pointing at the screen outside the Tower of Trials—

“Look quickly, there are still only seven people who have passed level sixteen. There’s no one from Shenluo City who has passed level seventeen yet!”

“Yes, this Tower of Trials is really challenging! Anyone who manages to get to level fifteen can be considered a genius already. Since the attributes are all fixed, they will have to depend on their battle understanding and ability. The higher their ability and understanding, the more levels they will be able to pass.”

“Yes, the people who have passed level sixteen will probably get special attention from the Galaxy Aristocrats? They will probably be specially groomed in the future!”

“Of course, those are all super talented people. After going through the Tower of Trials, they will become successful overnight!”

The spectators were all talking amongst themselves. Tang Muxin looked at the information displayed on the huge screen, then said, awed, “God! There are more than thirty million people from Shenluo City attempting the levels. But in the end, only seven managed to pass level sixteen? Eh? That Gu Yan, is he the one we met previously?”

“It looks like it. He is good.” Li Nianwei looked at the huge screen and smiled. “From what I see, we can keep our names private. I wonder why.”

“It could be out of consideration for the free people who don’t like to be tied down.” Lucifer smiled and said, “After all, if their information has to be made public, those who are unwilling to bind themselves to any entity might not be willing to join the game. However, if they can hide their identity, they will be able to take part without any worries. Otherwise, if they really manage to pass level twenty-five or -six and the Galaxy Aristocrats come knocking on their door every other day, they will be extremely annoyed!”

What Lucifer said was the reason many chose to keep their personal information hidden.

No matter what, this was in the universe. There were many who wanted to be carefree warriors. They did not want to pledge themselves to any organizations. If they had to make their information public to join the Tower of Trials, they would not be willing to come.

“This is good!” Tang Muxin smiled and said, “Let’s keep our information private. Perhaps we might accidentally pass level twenty. Hehe.”

“Yes, that is a good idea!” Everyone nodded. “Low profile, keep a low profile!”

Then, they got ready to enter the Tower of Trials.

There were many doors to the Tower of Trials, and every door had a long queue in front of it. Everyone was entering in an orderly manner. Although there were many people outside, everyone would have their own space inside and they would not affect each other’s performance.

Soon, it was Tang Muxin’s turn to enter. Tang Muxin walked slowly to the door and the door guard said, “The entry fee is five Galaxy Dollars. Please pay.”

Okay, it seemed that the Galaxy Aristocrats would be able to earn billions and billions of Galaxy Dollars just from the entry fees alone. All in all, there were a lot of people joining.

After she had paid, the guard said, “Respected lady, you are sure you will not bring a weapon?”

To be honest, Tang Muxin really felt like punching the guard—his reminder came a little too late, did it not?

“I forgot to bring one.” Tang Muxin huffed angrily.

“Good luck to you, then,” the guard said in parting and ignored her after that…

I’ll beat you up sooner or later!

With that thought, Tang Muxin walked into the door cautiously.

Once she entered the door, the surrounding scenery immediately changed.

It was a circular construction that looked like an arena. The stone base was surrounded by a variety of monster carvings, with doorways to the east, south, and west. In the north was a huge spiral staircase. It looked like the way to the next level.

“So strange. This is the Tower of Trials?” Tang Muxin looked around the surroundings but did not see anyone else. There was no other living thing around at all.

“Eh?” She looked around for a little while more and suddenly jumped around a little. She tried punching the air. “I seem to be stronger than I was previously. Oh, that’s right, all attributes are at one hundred here. Hehe. This is good, I get a free upgrade.”

At that moment, a young girl who looked like an angel appeared in front of her. It was obvious that she was the guide. “Welcome to the Tower of Trials. I’m your guide, Avril. I will tell you everything you need to know about the Tower of Trials. May I know if you are ready?”
