C220 Tower

As the bell-like voice of the Three Old People fell, the people present began to feel a chill. Including Zhu Duiyou, Zhu Qi and the others who were once again in the arena, all of them tried to pull themselves together and concentrate on the last round!

Very quickly, the Three Old People announced the rules. So it turned out that the final ceremony was to ascend the tower! As the name implied, it was to climb the mysterious tower left behind by the number one family in Jiuyao, and in the end view the person with the highest rank in climb as the victor!

This test... Isn't it a bit monotonous?

The youth who had asked the question once again spoke out in confusion. His friends beside him immediately pulled him and said helplessly: "Brother Hao!" Can you talk less? This sort of frivolous remark would only be laughed at by others!

Well, I don't understand!

The youth said with a flushed face.

Well, I'll explain it to you.

His friends sighed, all those years ago, the Jiuyao Mountain departments were flourishing, incomparably powerful, but no matter which department, they would obey the orders of the number one family, and bow to them! What do you think it is? Wasn't it because the First Family back then was stronger than all the various Jiuyao combined?!

This... Are you for real?

In his eyes, the current Jiuyao three great clans were already unreachable, and the Jiuyao various clans that did not go through the war back then were even more powerful than they are now … Would they be far inferior to the first aristocratic family?

It was simply unbelievable!

That was why they were called the number one family!

The people around them started whispering as they talked. It was said that the first family came from a mysterious family. No one knew why they were so strong, but their strength was clearly recorded in the annals of history! Once, there was an internal rebellion within the Jiuyao Clans. After the First Family heard about it, they only sent out a single White Emissary and the army of tens of thousands did not dare to move. In the end, the rebellion ceased …

So powerful?

The more the youth heard, the more surprised he was. His friend beside him nodded and said, "Just that!" Back then, wherever the banner of the number one family clans went, even the clan leaders had to lower their heads and give way. You can imagine just how powerful they were! And the tower of Jiuyao Assembly was the only thing they had left!

At this point, his friend sighed, "Do you know how shallow your thoughts were just now?"

I... I know.

The youth's face flushed red to his ears. Fortunately, everyone's attention had been focused on Chu Xiao earlier, so no one paid much attention to him. At this time, the Yinyao’s three elders had also finished announcing the rules. He turned around, and indicated for all the youths participating in Jiuyao Assembly to follow at the same time.

This was a normal rule, so naturally no one objected. The youngsters closely followed the Three Old People, and after a few turns, they quickly saw a tall tower that pierced through the clouds!

Just one glance was enough to stun almost everyone! It was because the tower was transparent. It was a hundred floors high, just like a crystal! It looked real and illusory, not real at all. It was like a strange object that only appeared in his dreams!

Moreover, the tower body and its surroundings were strangely fused together. If not for Three Old People who brought them here, they probably wouldn't have discovered this strange tower even if they looked at it closer.

This... What was it?

The crowd discussed animatedly, and some of the more timid ones were even trembling in fear. They were worried that this pagoda would disappear in the next moment and cause them, the people who climbed the pagoda, to plummet in one fell swoop.

Yes, this tower was just like a dream, no one would dare to believe that it really existed even if they saw it with their own eyes!

According to the order, they entered the pagoda one by one.

Then, the Yinyao’s three elders opened his mouth and reported the names of each person who entered the tower one by one.

The ones in front were the people with Yuyao Division, then the people with Riyao Division, and finally the people with Luohou Division.

This sequence was entirely based on the previous round's performance – as the tower was transparent, anything that anyone experienced in the tower would be revealed to everyone! That is to say, the more you climb the tower, the more you will be able to observe the process of other people climbing. When it's their turn to climb, you will have more confidence!

Originally, based on their performance on the Riyao Division, they should have been the last ones to reach the tower, but in the end, Chu Xiao caused a miracle and turned the situation around, causing the Luohou Division to surpass the Riyao Division and become the last clan that could climb the tower!

Once everything is ready, start climbing the tower immediately! Each of you will be limited to an incense stick of time. The number of levels you can climb can be counted as many as you want.

Yinyao’s three elders said at the same time.

Everyone understood, and so the first person who walked out was an elite of Yuyao Division. Although he was not comparable to Yue Tian, he was still considered to be an outstanding talent.

Nervously, he inched closer to the tower door and up the stairs.

Everyone's eyes were wide open as they carefully observed what he was going through! As the person walked up to the second floor, the floor that was originally empty suddenly flashed with light, and paper men slowly emerged out of the light. As the person walked up to the second floor, the floor that was originally completely empty suddenly flashed with light, and paper men slowly floated out of the light.

The Yuyao Division elite was shocked, but he was still a rising star, and quickly adjusted himself. With a flash of moonlight in his hand, he transformed into an arrow, and pierced through all the paper men with quick movements!

Bang!

As the paper man fell to the ground, it turned into smoke and dust and the stairs in front of him started to appear, little by little, in front of him! It looked like a crystal, but also like a dream.

The Yuyao Division Elites calmed themselves and quickly climbed the stairs to the third floor.

Similar to before, the moment they stepped in, a pile of paper men appeared once more. However, this time, they became even taller and the weapons in their hands also changed.

However, this was still not difficult for the elites of Yuyao Division, so he once again easily took care of all the paper men and headed towards the fourth floor!

Just like this, he killed the paper man and climbed up layer by layer.

Until... The tenth floor.

As if reaching this point, a massive, fat paper man appeared. Its aura was incomparable to before, and the two iron hammers that he wielded were already comparable to a yellow-rank treasure!

The Yuyao Division Elites quickly fell into a difficult battle! The moment he lost concentration, he would be hit in the waist by the giant paper man. With a muffled groan, he spat out blood and fell to the ground!

Fortunately, the Yinyao’s three elders seemed to have expected this scene. With a wave of his horsetail whisk, a cool breeze slowly rose, supporting the person and allowing him to safely descend to the ground.

Yuyao Division, music, results, ten levels!

With an ice-cold declaration, Yue Le was utterly humiliated. When he saw that not even a single stick of incense had burnt through, he couldn't help but feel even more ashamed!

This...

It was too difficult! It was only the tenth floor, and there were already paper men of that level.

Terrifying! So it turns out that the time it takes for an incense stick to burn doesn't mean that we are going to pass the trial, but that we are able to endure the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?

Some people thought of this and blurted it out. Instantly, the atmosphere became even more solemn.

Only Chu Xiao raised his head and looked at the tower, as if he had thought of something …

Gradually, the corners of his mouth rose as he nodded and smiled, "Interesting …"
