Chapter 94 - The Tower of Trials
Chapter 94: The Tower of Trials
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
When Lin An carefully observed the tower of trials, he discovered it wasn’t just a simple building, but it was in fact, a magic treasure!
The fact that the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect had used such a large magic treasure as part of the trial was proof that it was a prestigious sect.
Once Lin An had passed through the barrier and seen the tower of trials from afar, he had been instantly surprised.
The tower was much bigger than he had imagined.
It was so tall that it almost reached the clouds!
Several colored lights circulated over the tower’s body, while the top of the tower was like a bottle lid, and it gave off a majestic aura.
At that moment, the aspiring cultivators were standing outside the tower. Other than the disciples from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect who were maintaining order, the rest were all waiting for the trial, or their fellow cultivators who had already taken part in the trial.
As the cultivator’s eyes scanned the tower of trials, they occasionally let out a series of exclamations, but there would also be a few sounds of regret mixed in.
“Right now, only two cultivators are persisting on the third level. I don’t know if anyone will graduate to the fourth level today.”
“I’m afraid it will be difficult. There are already five nascent soul cultivators who have entered the tower, but not one of them has succeeded.”
“This test is a bit biased. The strength of one’s soul isn’t only related to one’s cultivation level. For example, among the cultivators who are persisting on the third floor, one of them is in the golden core stage!”
“It’s really enviable. With such a sturdy soul, I think that one can be trained to be an alchemist or a weapon master after joining the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect!”
“Alchemists and weapon masters are simply too scarce. Even ten cultivators from the same realm are not as precious as an alchemist or a weapon master.”
“Now, let’s see if any of you can persevere until you enter the fourth level. Once you enter the fourth level, you’ll definitely advance to the next stage of the trial.”
After a few moments, one Hundred Flowers Valley Sect disciple walked out and said in a clear voice, “The fifth round of the trial is about to begin. Fellow Daoists, please get ready.”
Immediately, dozens of cultivators began to move. They quickly gathered all their tokens and walked towards the entrance of the tower of trials.
Lin An patiently followed the crowd and joined the queue.
“The trial will begin immediately!” A male disciple from the Hundred Flowers Valley Sect shouted in a deep voice.
At the same time, he took out an iron token and slapped it onto the tower of trials.
Clang!
A crisp sound rang out, and a ray of light flashed past the entrance of the tower. Suddenly, the dozens of long lines of cultivators were all swept into the tower of trials.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
All the tokens that the cultivators had carried flew out and hovered outside the tower.
The tokens were connected to the minds of the cultivators. As long as the cultivator passed a test, the token would rise by one level.
Once Lin An entered the tower, he stopped for a moment. He didn’t have as much confidence in his soul power as he did in battle, so he planned to gather some tools first.
However, when he stopped, he immediately attracted the attention of the cultivators around him.
“Haha! I’m dying of laughter. Look, there’s a colleague who can’t even take the first step.”
“Pfft! No way! It’s only the first level, and he can’t even take the first step? Isn’t he too weak?”
“Yeah, even a foundation establishment cultivator can easily walk to the second level. This kid is at least at the peak of the golden core stage.”
“I don’t think I’ve heard of any top cultivator who would stop at the first floor, let alone the first step!”
“Young Man, congratulations, you’ve set a record, but it’s the lowest record ever.”
The group of cultivators walked past Lin An with a mocking look on their faces and walked towards the second floor of the tower of trials with ease.
‘F*ck! You guys better remember this.’ Lin An secretly cursed before he activated the success rate system’s lucky draw function.
He had already earned several thousand lucky draw coins from his previous battles, and after choosing to store one thousand coins as a backup, he then used another one thousand coins to draw the first lucky draw machine.
The lucky draw machine only cost ten coins per draw, so Lin An directly drew it a hundred times.
After that, he used the remaining coins to draw the second lucky draw machine. The second lucky draw machine cost a hundred coins per draw, so he only drew it ten times.
As he scanned through the prizes he had drawn, Lin An found two items in the pile that would be useful to him in that moment.
One prize was a soul-strengthening pill. A single pill could increase a cultivator’s soul power by one percent, and there were ten pills in the bottle. The prize had only cost Lin An ten lottery coins.
The other prize was a soul-strengthening liquid. One bottle of the liquid could increase a cultivator’s soul power by one hundred and two percent, but the prize had cost Lin An one hundred lottery coins.
After he had scanned the two prizes, Lin An chose to consume the bottle of soul strengthening elixir to test its effects.
He opened the bottle and poured the elixir into his mouth. Then, he walked towards the second floor of the tower of trials.
The taste of the soul-strengthening elixir was like that of a wild fruit.
However, once the effects of the elixir took effect, Lin An felt as if his entire body had an endless amount of energy.
His brain also felt hyperactive, and he quickly strode up the stairs on the second floor.
“Eh? How can that kid move that fast?”
“That’s right! It’s strange, he was clearly suppressed at the door just now, how can he move so quickly?”
“Could it be that under the training of the tower of trials, he broke through his cultivation level?”
“How is this possible? Although the tower of trials is full of mysteries, how can it have such a rapid breakthrough speed? Could it be an immortal artifact?”
When the cultivators realized that Lin
An had suddenly caught up to them, they immediately cried out in surprise.
After Lin An entered the second level of the tower of trials, he discovered that many cultivators were stuck on that level.
Everyone’s faces were filled with solemn expressions as they resisted the tower’s suppression.
The cultivators who had just mocked Lin An were on the second level, and when he saw their consternated looks, he immediately let out a loud laugh.
“Haha! I’m dying of laughter! Why are all of you standing still?”
The cultivators were already under immense mental pressure, and after they saw Lin An’s smile, they couldn’t help but feel that the suppression of their soul power had become a little unbearable.
They were instantly furious, and they all turned around to glare at Lin An, but in the next moment, they were stunned by what they saw.
Lin An was walking towards them with an evil look on his face, pretending to be a hooligan.
They couldn’t believe that the suppression of the tower of trials didn’t have much effect on him.
“How is this possible?”
“Wasn’t he suppressed on the first floor? Why is he still here? He suddenly seems so relaxed!”
When he heard the cultivators’ words, Lin An laughed disdainfully,
“I was just renewing my energy, but I never thought that you guys would be such vile people! Once you saw that my energy was low, you spared no effort to mock me and hurt me. You caused a huge injury to my immature mind, so how are you going to compensate me?”
