Chapter 507 - 521: Challenge the Cultivation Tower
CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 521: CHALLENGE THE CULTIVATION TOWER
After getting rid of Bai Mo, Mu Can was in such high spirits.
Don’t think you can bully others just because they are not as strong as you are.
Dare to take action against your friends, and wait for your own revenge to come.
However, Mu Can became more cautious, in case Bai Mo, driven to desperation, really made a move on him.
Although Divine Wind Academy has a dedicated enforcement team to investigate any issues with its students, regardless of the individual.
Those people are all seasoned crime experts, who supposedly did all sorts of shady work before joining Divine Wind Academy.
But even so, every year there are students who disappear from Divine Wind Academy without a trace, not even leaving behind a body.
Investigations turn up nothing, so if someone is swift enough outside, not leaving any trace, they can indeed target students of Divine Wind Academy.
Although Mu Can does not believe Bai Mo has such capabilities, many things are always better safeguarded against.
After sorting out the problem with Bai Mo, Mu Can went straight to the Cultivation Room, as he had yet to do his morning cultivation.
Since he now had sufficient academic points, Mu Can did not plan to take on any missions recently.
His daily life was very simple: Cultivation Room, classes, visiting Mad Old Demon—his routine was unvarying.
And his strength was growing by leaps and bounds, possibly due to the transformation of his body by the Reincarnation Pearl.
Mu Can’s cultivation was progressing at a terrifying speed, and the New World inside the Reincarnation Pearl was evolving rapidly day by day.
Different sceneries appeared every day, and the entire world expanded at an incredible pace.
Consequently, the other layers of the Reincarnation Pearl were undergoing changes as well.
Mu Can even had a feeling that one day, all the layers of the Reincarnation Pearl would merge into one complete layer.
When that happens, the strong Soul Power of the first layer, the mysterious Reincarnation City of the second layer, the time-limited Cultivation Room of the third layer, the New World of the fourth layer, and the Duel Arena of the fifth layer, will all slowly integrate, making his own world even stronger.
Mu Can also felt that there must be an earth-shattering secret hidden behind the Reincarnation Pearl.
Because he had discovered that the black energy from the old monk he met in the uninhabited area was the same origin as the energy of the Reincarnation Pearl.
Thus, every day, Mu Can diligently practiced cultivation, and his strength grew rapidly.
Until one day, he ran out of academic points; after all, he had been using Cultivation Rooms with five times the Spiritual Power, consuming an innumerable amount of points.
On this day, Mu Can decided to challenge a new place, the Trial Tower.
The Trial Tower is the most important place in Divine Wind Academy besides the Cultivation Room.
It’s a tower built by someone unknown, hiding within it a Sumeru mustard seed space.
The challenge of the tower is not dependent on cultivation but on the strength of the Soul Power.
The Cultivation Tower has its own exclusive list, ranked by the results of climbing the tower, with ten positions in total.
This list is also known as Divine Wind List, which holds a reputation not any weaker than the Heavenly List.
Beside the stone stele next to the Cultivation Tower, Ye Tian also saw many familiar names, with both He Bi Shixiong and Bai Mo being listed.
However, in the Cultivation Tower, He Bi Shixiong ranked higher than Bai Mo, placed ninth having climbed up fifteen floors.
Poor Bai Mo ranked tenth, having managed to climb fourteen floors.
The person ranked first was someone named Li Mu, who hadn’t left a name on the Heavenly List, but had cleared twenty-five floors of the Trial Tower.
"Senior, I would like to challenge the Trial Tower," Mu Can said respectfully standing in front of the Trial Tower’s gate.
The doors of the Trial Tower gently opened, "Go on up. There are not many little guys with guts to challenge it these days," a voice came out.
Mu Can knew it was the voice of the Elder guarding the tower.
There are no prerequisites to challenge the Trial Tower, but failure would result in a state of unconsciousness, and even upon awakening, one would feel as though the whole world was shaking, a sensation that could last for a week.
This is the reason why most students don’t challenge the Trial Tower without absolute certainty, as no one wishes to experience that unpleasant sensation.
It’s just like the blurring of the world when someone has drunk too much alcohol.
"Hehe, sorry Bai Mo," Mu Can’s Soul Power strength, after all, had absorbed the essence of the first layer of the Reincarnation Pearl.
Today, Mu Can had a simple goal: to completely surpass Bai Mo and push him off the Divine Wind List.
Both Mad Old Demon and the Dean knew Mu Can was challenging the tower today.
They had secretly come over early to see just how far their student could go.
"How far do you think he can get?" The Dean lately had been quite concerned about Mu Can but still couldn’t find a way to heal his Dao scars.
"At least ten floors. I could tell from his alchemy that his Soul Power is strong," Mad Old Demon nodded as he watched Mu Can’s retreating figure.
This disciple was promising, although he knew he had Dao scars, the intensity of his cultivation practice had left Mad Old Demon deeply impressed.
It was truly a do-or-die attitude.
"I think he can make it to at least fifteen floors," the Dean shook his head, disagreeing with Mad Old Demon.
"Really? A newcomer would make it to the Divine Wind List? As far as I remember, there has never been such a person in the history of Divine Wind Academy, has there?" Mad Old Demon was incredulous, the task seemed legendary to him.
"There has been," the Dean said with a smile, shaking his head.
"You mean?" Mad Old Demon suddenly seemed to recall something, beginning to ask but not daring to mention the person’s name.
"That’s right, the person you’re thinking of. Ah, what a pity," the Dean sighed.
"I didn’t expect you to have such high expectations for Mu Can," Mad Old Demon looked at the Dean with a complex expression.
No one knew that they not only belonged to the same Divine Wind Academy but also were disciples from the same mentor.
"Didn’t you as well? Little brother, your skill in alchemy must be passed on properly," the Dean looked at Mad Old Demon and patted his shoulder.
"Sigh, we have grown old," Mad Old Demon let out a sigh, as if recalling the days when he and the Dean, along with a group of apprentices, were in Divine Wind Academy.
"Why did you not practice your cultivation diligently and break through to the All Things Realm earlier to avoid these troubles?" the Dean seemed frustrated like he was scolding Mad Old Demon.
"I’m old, of no use anymore," Mad Old Demon said with a wistful smile, shaking his head.
If breaking through to the All Things Realm were that easy, then not just the two of them, but all the siblings under the same mentor, would have reached that stage.
