Chapter 260 — Chapter 260 You Tricked Me!
5 min read ·
While Meixiu went to school with Yu Rou, Yuan continued to train his Divine Sense in Cultivation Online.
Meanwhile, at the Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower, Long Yijun and the other Sect Masters stared in shock as the 99th floor emitted a golden light.
"H-He really did it! He’s managed to reach the 100th floor!"
The disciples there mumbled to each other with surprise.
"Who’s currently inside? I just arrived."
"Shui Zi, the number one genius of the Grand Saber Palace!"
"Shui Zi, huh? I heard he managed to reach Spirit Warrior at the young age of 18 and peak of Spirit Warrior at 27 years old. He’s definitely up there even for a genius."
Meanwhile, the Sect Masters laughed out loud, "Hahaha! Looks like this will be the last person to challenge this tower even though we still have 2 more people!"
"I was getting worried for a second, but it’s relieving to see someone finally reach the final floor!"
Despite most of their disciples challenging the tower, most of them had stopped around the 90th floor, and only Shui Zi managed to reach the 100th floor.
However, Long Yijun did not show any signs of worry, and he merely stared at the tower with a calm look on his face.
"What do you think about this, Elder Xuan? Do you think he’ll beat the 100th floor?" Elder Bai suddenly asked him.
"I want to say it’s impossible, but we have been taught again and again that there’s no such thing as ’impossible’ by ’him’. Though, it is still unlikely that he would be able to pass that floor." Elder Xuan said with a bittersweet smile on his face.
Meanwhile, inside the tower, a handsome young man with a fierce expression on his face slowly climbed the stairs to the 100th floor after spending 15 minutes recovering his strength.
"Already the last floor? I will give this place some credit since it was not easy climbing to this level, but alas, it looks like I am fated to defeat this tower." Shui Zi said with a confident smile on his face.
A few moments later, Shui Zi stepped onto the 100th floor and was greeted by the new scenery.
"What a vast place... Am I still inside the tower? Or is this merely an illusion?" Shui Zi mumbled in a dazed voice.
"Anyways, where are the monsters? Hurry up and come out so I can beat this boring tower already." Shui Zi shouted out loud in an arrogant voice.
"Hoh? A boring tower, huh?"
The space before Shui Zi suddenly twisted, and a gaping hole appeared in the space a moment later.
Then, Shui Zi watched with wide eyes as a massive golden dragon appeared from within the black hole.
Once it appeared, the Great One gazed upon Shui Zi as though he was an ant and spoke in a calm voice, "While I will give you credit for making it here, nor did I expect someone else to come here so soon after the last one, but you don’t have what it takes to clear the 100th floor."
"..."
Shui Zi did not respond to the Great One, mostly because he was frozen stiff from shock and fear.
"Hmph. What a boring one." The Great One shook its head when it saw the state Shui Zi was in.
"Anyways, since you want to get this over with, allow me to tell you the challenge for this floor."
BOOM!
An intense aura suddenly exploded from the Great One’s large body, causing the entire world to shake.
"If you want to defeat the 100th floor, you must defeat me!" The Great One’s voice echoed in Shui Zi’s ears.
"I-Impossible! You’re asking for the impossible! This isn’t fair! How the fuck am I supposed to defeat a dragon?!" Shui Zi was snapped out of his daze by the Great One’s aura that activated his instincts and desire to run.
"Hahaha!"
The Great One suddenly laughed before speaking, "Impossible? If it was impossible, how did the person who came before you pass the floor and defeat the tower?"
"Are you telling me that this person defeated you?!" Shui Zi exclaimed.
"No, we didn’t fight, and I had another challenge for him."
"What?! That’s even more unfair! Why are you giving me a different challenge, then?!"
A mysterious smile appeared on the Great One’s face, and it spoke in a calm voice, "If you’d like, I can let you take that challenge instead."
"Really?"
A hopeful look appeared on Shui Zi’s face after hearing this and he immediately nodded his head, "Yes! I want to take that challenge!"
"Very well..."
The Great One said.
A few moments later, the ground suddenly began rumbling, startling Shui Zi.
’What the heck is this shaking?’ he wondered to himself.
The Great One spoke as a black line appeared on the horizon.
"For this challenge, you must defeat 100,000 peak Spirit Warrior magical beasts. You will have unlimited time to do so and 24 hours of rest time, and you may pause this challenge whenever you wish. However, once your 24 hours run out, you will have to fight until your last breath."
Shui Zi’s eyes widened with shock after hearing this.
"You want me to fight against 100,000 Spirit Warrior magical beasts?! This is even more impossible than fighting you! You tricked me! There’s no way anyone could possibly pass this trial even if they’re given a week to rest!" Shui Zi pointed at the Great One with trembling hands.
"Why would I trick you? The last person cleared this challenge with no problem at all." The Great One shook its head.
"Then tell me who defeated this challenge?! I’ll believe you then!"
However, the Great One shook its head and said, "That person’s name is too great for someone like you. If you do not accept the challenge, then you will automatically forfeit."
Shui Zi gritted his teeth in anger, and he turned to look at the sea of magical beasts that were swarming towards him at this moment, his back soaked in cold sweats.
