Chapter 508 - 522: Passing Three Challenges
CHAPTER 508: CHAPTER 522: PASSING THREE CHALLENGES
Mu Can was unaware that the two teachers outside were paying attention to him.
Having just entered the Trial Tower, he was surprised to find it very similar to the Communicating God Tower in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.
In his cautious gaze, a figure clad in a yellow robe appeared on the first level, his face indiscernible.
"It’s been a long time since a newcomer dared to challenge. Are you ready?"
Mu Can knew that each level’s Tower Guardian in the Trial Tower was formed from Great Magical Power.
No matter how many times they were defeated, they wouldn’t truly die, instead, they would revive after a certain period.
Moreover, each level’s Spiritual Body became stronger than the last.
Rumor had it that after the twentieth level of the Trial Tower, only those with soul strength at the All Things Realm level could pass.
"Let the battle begin," Mu Can narrowed his eyes slightly.
It was time to test the results of his recent cultivation.
This was Mu Can’s first full-powered attempt since his breakthrough.
Instantly, the entire Cultivation Tower surged with Spiritual Power, and moments later, the figure in the yellow robe fell before Mu Can.
After falling, he transformed into a stream of Spiritual Power and returned to the Cultivation Tower.
The victory didn’t bring Mu Can much joy; it was only the first level of the Cultivation Tower, but already he felt it was challenging.
After Mu Can successfully broke through the first level of the Cultivation Tower, the great bell on top of the tower rang, its sound instantly spreading throughout the Divine Wind Academy.
"He passed, and so quickly," Elder Mad Demon was also slightly emotional; judging by the time Mu Can entered, it was as quick as a second kill.
"Some people are challenging the Cultivation Tower, but being able to break through the first level is not bad, probably a freshman."
"Hehe, if he overestimates his abilities and continues to challenge, do you think he might come out lying down?"
After the bell rang, the entire Divine Wind Academy was aware that someone was challenging the Cultivation Tower.
However, since the bell only rang once, some people thought about it but then dismissed further concern.
After new students enter the school, the Cultivation Tower frequently rings, but usually, it stops after just one ring.
"Go for it, Brother Can." Luo Tian didn’t attend classes today; instead, he waited outside the Cultivation Tower.
Beside Luo Tian lay a huge tiger, its stripes looking mysteriously special, giving the tiger an almost majestic appearance.
"Ding, ding," the bell rang again, this time twice.
"Not bad, not bad at all." The principal was all smiles; Mu Can’s quick advancement through two levels was already a pleasant surprise.
It seemed Mu Can would bring him even more surprises.
"More than not bad; senior brother, you weren’t this fast on your first challenge, right?"
Elder Mad Demon didn’t give the principal any face at all.
Thinking back to when he himself was young and lively, even younger than the principal, but now, his senior brother was still the same as back then, while he himself had aged.
"Really? I don’t seem to recall," the principal evaded the question, not engaging with Elder Mad Demon.
"I wonder who it was that, after failing to challenge the Cultivation Tower, I had to carry back, vomiting on my back."
Elder Mad Demon did not give the principal any face at all, and that was the reason why, knowing about Mu Can’s exceptional talent, he dared to compete with the principal for the disciple.
"Yes, we were indeed young back then, look how many years have passed in a blink," the principal’s eyes lingered on the Trial Tower, filled with endless nostalgia.
The young challenger of those years had now grown into the guardian of the Divine Wind Academy.
"Did he pass two levels consecutively?"
When the students heard the bell ring twice in a row, they finally sensed something unusual.
Such a short time to pass two levels suggested an extraordinary character was challenging the Cultivation Tower.
Many students who were idle began to gather around the Cultivation Tower.
They were eager to see who possessed such impressive strength to consecutively break through two levels of the Cultivation Tower.
One should know, most of the older students at Divine Wind Academy lingered around the third and fourth levels.
And even among these older students, none could advance through two levels so quickly.
Mu Can gasped lightly and continued the challenge.
The Challenge Tower’s Second Level was nearly twice as powerful as the First Level.
Mu Can also burst forth unexpectedly with his strength in order to pass so quickly.
In the Third Layer, a man dressed in black and wielding twin blades was already waiting.
"You’re quite impressive, the second person I’ve seen clear this quickly."
"Twin Blades Man" said slowly to Mu Can.
"Someone was faster than me?" It seems Divine Wind Academy truly is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
He had thought he was fast enough, but unexpectedly, there was someone even faster.
"Yes, he took about the same time as you to get here, and it was also his first challenge of the Cultivation Tower." Twin Blades Man looked at Mu Can and smiled lightly.
"Are you rested?" the man twirled his twin blades elegantly.
He was actually waiting for Mu Can to recover, showing his magnanimity.
"Thank you," Mu Can nodded at the man. Though he wasn’t injured, he had indeed used some of his Spiritual Power in the previous two levels.
Now, back at peak condition, Mu Can felt much better.
The two instantly engaged in combat.
The main feature of the Cultivation Tower, compared to other places, is that here, only the strength of one’s Soul Power determines the power one can wield.
Not depending on one’s own strength.
This coincidentally matched the views Mu Can heard while in the Three Realms.
Back then, Purple Cloud specifically had Mu Can cultivate his soul.
In the Immortal World, all cultivators were masters of soul cultivation.
And Mu Can had both angles covered, having absorbed considerable Soul Energy from the Reincarnation Pearl.
This battle, Mu Can utilized nearly half his power to defeat the man in black.
"Ding, ding, ding." After three continuous bell rings, the entire Divine Wind Academy was in an uproar, being able to consecutively break through three layers in such a short time.
For these students, the only possibility was that someone on the Divine Wind List was updating their record.
The crowd instantly surged toward the Cultivation Tower.
Even He Bi and Ling Feng followed to the spot, ready to see if it was someone from the Divine Wind List challenging the Cultivation Tower.
"Three layers already, indeed a young hero," the principal looked at the ringing bell atop the Cultivation Tower with a heavy heart.
Compared to his disciple, the principal suddenly felt quite old.
