Chapter 89 Conquering the Trial Tower
"A future teacher?"
Chen Yuan's heart stirred. He had heard Ming Yu say that each top-tier elite would be assigned a world lord-level teacher. Now it seemed that this teacher was not directly appointed by the Virtual Universe Company, but was assigned according to the exam results.
Thinking this through, Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "I understand, Mr. Si Kun. May I ask what kind of exam it is?"
"It's basically just a test of your current level, such as your exertion, understanding of the domain, and level of knowledge of the laws."
Sikun said, "The exam will be held in a virtual universe. You'll see when you get there."
"A virtual universe? Could it be—"
Chen Yuan had a slight guess in his heart, nodded, and then sent a wisp of his consciousness into the virtual universe.
The next second, the wind spirit's voice rang in his mind: "Master, a new dimensional area has been unlocked."
"Oh?" Chen Yuan clicked on the new dimensional information, which displayed four words:
[Trial Space]
Below these four characters, there are some smaller characters that provide a general introduction to the trial space.
"Not a bridge to heaven, but a trial tower?"
Chen Yuan quickly scanned the area and soon understood the situation of the [Trial Space]. Then he realized that the so-called exam was actually the Trial Tower.
When he first heard about the laws of the testing domain, he thought it would be a test like the Bridge to Heaven.
"However, judging from the rules description, this Trial Tower is exactly the same as the Trial Tower that appeared in the Genius Battle. I just don't know if the enemies inside are the same."
"No matter what, let's go and see for ourselves."
With a thought, Chen Yuan teleported into the trial space.
The scene before him suddenly changed, from the pale purple sky of Ziyao Peak to the pitch-black cosmic starry sky, and he was now on a huge meteorite.
The meteorite is rectangular in shape and over 100 kilometers long. On it sit seven towering trial towers.
"Judging from the situation, this Trial Tower really is just like the one described in the original story. So, the enemies are most likely the same ones as before?"
Chen Yuan made his own guess, but his steps were not slow. In a flash, he arrived in front of the first trial tower.
"Chen Yuan!"
At that moment, Si Kun's voice suddenly appeared in his mind: "Let me briefly explain the rules of the Trial Tower to you, Mr. Si Kun." Chen Yuan stopped in his tracks. "Please go ahead."
"The Trial Tower is a means for the company to assess internal geniuses."
Si Kun said calmly, "There are seven in total, each with seven levels. The difficulty increases with each level, but it will not exceed the limit of strength that one can reach at that level."
"Secondly, the Trial Tower is set according to your real-world cultivation level. For example, if you are at the planetary level in reality, then you will be challenging the planetary-level Trial Tower!"
"In the trial space, your strength will be fixed at the 'Planetary Level 9', and your cultivation techniques, domains, and understanding of laws will be synchronized with reality."
"Before entering the Trial Tower, you can choose your battle suit and weapon. You can only choose a Tier 1 Force Battle Suit, but you can choose any weapon you want, as long as you can activate it normally. You can even choose a Tier 5 Force Weapon if you want."
"Can I choose any weapon?" Chen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Any weapon is fine?"
"Any weapon that has ever appeared in reality, no matter how obscure, or even if it is the only one in the entire universe, can be simulated in the virtual universe."
Si Kun replied, then added, "However, high-level Force weapons often have higher requirements, and sometimes it's better to use a lower-level weapon that you're comfortable with. Be careful."
"Understood, I will do what I can."
Chen Yuan nodded, then asked, "Mr. Si Kun, what level of achievement do I need to reach to be assigned a skilled teacher?"
Sikun's voice quickly said, "When you begin your ascent of the tower, a message will be sent to all the potential realm lords."
"If the Realm Lord is interested in you, he will personally observe."
"If the realm lord is satisfied with your performance, he will send you an email after you finish the tower challenge."
"If your performance is outstanding and you receive emails from multiple realm lords, you can choose one of them and report its number to the company."
"I see." Chen Yuan nodded, then asked, "How many trial towers are considered excellent?"
Upon hearing this, Si Kun paused for a moment before saying, "One! As long as you can clear the first trial tower, it will be enough to attract the favor of most realm lords."
"Of course, the better your final score, the easier it will be to impress a powerful realm lord. After all, the strength of realm lords varies greatly."
"Go for it, Chen Yuan, show everything you have in this trial tower."
After saying this, Si Kun fell silent, presumably leaving.
"Show everything—"
Chen Yuan murmured, then began to imagine. The next second, a cyan longsword and a Force suit appeared out of thin air.
"It actually works—" Chen Yuan stared at the cyan longsword, and with a thought, the longsword transformed into light and merged into his body.
He sensed it for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's still slightly different from the real 'Qingxiao'; it doesn't have the effect of soul binding."
"However, the perfect compatibility remains, and I can unleash the full power of this 'Azure Sky' sword."
It should be noted that the Azure Sky Sword is a top-tier third-order weapon, and its attack power is top-notch even at the cosmic level. If a planetary-level martial artist were to unleash its full power, no planetary-level martial artist would be able to withstand its blade.
"Does this count as cheating?"
Chen Yuan summoned Qingxiao, holding it horizontally in front of him to examine it. The sword's reflection shone like autumn water, mirroring his own features. "Never mind," he thought.
Mr. Sikun asked me to demonstrate everything; it's just a Tier 3 weapon, nothing special, right?
You know, when Luo Feng challenged the Trial Tower back then, he was carrying a fifth-tier psychic weapon called "Yan Shen Bing," and nobody said anything about it.
Shaking his head, Chen Yuan fused with the Force Armor, picked up his longsword, and walked into the Trial Tower.
The space shifted, and the scene before my eyes transformed into a vast, boundless grassland.
Chen Yuan lowered his head, and a light screen appeared on his wrist at some point, displaying: Trial Tower Level 1: 10,000 Blood-haired Mammoths. Kill them all to enter Level 2. There is no time limit.
"No time limit? That's different from the Genius Battle."
Chen Yuan glanced down at the message, then turned off the light screen. "If this were a battle of geniuses, I would be very happy."
But since it's just an exam—there's no need to use this time to improve.
"Let's clear the level quickly."
The next second, ten thousand enormous, blood-red mammoths appeared on the grassland, roaring as they charged toward him.
"Perfect timing. Let's test the quality of these ferocious beasts first."
A pale blue domain opened up, enveloping hundreds of mammoths in front of him. Chen Yuan's figure transformed into a cloud of blue mist, moving like a ghost among the beasts. His sword light was as fast as lightning, and wherever the sword's edge touched, the blood-haired mammoths fell down one after another.
"Its strength is relatively average, and it exerts its power at about 5 times its normal strength. However, due to its huge size, its strength is comparable to that of a ninth-level planetary martial artist exerting its normal power."
After testing the Blood-haired Mammoth's strength, Chen Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. If this was the standard for the first level, then he should have no problem clearing the first trial tower.
Chen Yuan, who was familiar with the original work, knew that the increase in strength from the first to the seventh floor of each trial tower was not significant.
However, there are many different races, including ferocious beasts, monsters, mechanical groups, cosmic behemoths, and even insectoids.
Under the same standard of strength, there will certainly be differences in the strength displayed by different races, but these differences are not insurmountable.
Only starting from the next trial tower will the enemy's strength increase dramatically, and Chen Yuan cannot currently determine how much it will increase.
He knew that these ten thousand blood-haired mammoths posed no threat to him whatsoever.
Chen Yuan steadied himself, and the next second, his sword light surged, and wherever the pale blue domain reached, large swathes of mammoths fell to the ground like harvested weeds.
30 minute later.
The ground was a mess. Chen Yuan stood on the body of a blood-haired mammoth, pulled out the sword blade stuck in its head, and looked around. There was no enemy standing around anymore.
[The first trial is complete. Please wait for teleportation. 10, 9, 8—]
"Relax and easy."
Chen Yuan sheathed his longsword and awaited the teleportation to the trial space.
The countdown ended, and Chen Yuan's figure vanished instantly.
