The two of them, one leading and the other following, arrived at the entrance. Li Xusheng saw that the rune for the fifth floor was flickering, a hint of surprise crossing his eyes.
A Second Stage Beast Master was about to challenge the fifth floor so soon?
No wonder this guy was the first to clear the Lamentation Tower.
Looking at the persistently flickering rune for the fifth floor, Li Xusheng couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, as if he wanted to see how far Bai Qi could go-
“Move, I’m in a hurry.”
Just as Li Xusheng halted, Bai Qiucha overtook him from behind and walked directly toward the entrance.
As the Legendary Son, this wasn’t Bai Qiucha’s first solo exploration of the Secret Realm Tower. If it hadn’t been for the specialness of this tower as mentioned by his father, he might not have even come.
Seeing this, Li Xusheng furrowed his brow, an unintended flash of bloodlust in his eyes.
“Cough cough, what a crappy tower, ganging up on Beast Masters.”
Just as Li Xusheng was about to explode with rage, a disheveled Bai Qi appeared at the entrance, tiny sparks still visible in his hair and clothes.
Seeing Bai Qi’s disheveled state, President Qin understood and sympathized despite his regrets.
A Third Stage Beast Master like Li Xusheng was stuck on the fifth floor, so it was understandable that Bai Qi, a Second Stage Beast Master, couldn’t get past.
He might have been a bit too hasty.
“Bai Qi, how do you feel?”
President Qin walked over to Bai Qi and asked in a low voice. At the same time, Bai Qiucha, who had been preparing to enter the Secret Realm Tower, also halted, examining Bai Qi closely.
He was somewhat interested in whoever his father considered noteworthy.
Bai Qi shook his head, saying, “The fifth level has fifty Rune Puppets at the least at the First Stage, and they can regenerate; we can’t beat them through brute force.”
Fifty?
That explained it.
Understanding dawned on President Qin. That number of enemies was indeed difficult for someone like Bai Qi to handle, since he hadn’t been a Second Stage Beast Master for long and his Pet Beasts weren’t high level. Even if there were options for Area of Effect attacks, it would still be difficult to clear this level.
Moreover, judging by the fact that even a Third Stage Beast Master like Li Xusheng couldn’t pass, these Rune Puppets were not just superior in numbers. The regenerative power that Bai Qi mentioned was important as well.
“But I may have found a trick. If I study it a bit more, I should be able to manage.”
Just as President Qin was about to comfort Bai Qi and suggest they retry another day, his next words startled him. Both Li Xusheng and Bai Qiucha frowned.
This guy was quite cocky.
Seeing this, Bai Qiucha completely lost any remaining interest in Bai Qi and entered the Secret Realm Tower directly, while Li Xusheng also turned and left. “Bai Qi, you are sure you can make it?”
“Shouldn’t be a problem.”
Bai Qi nodded, and then began studying the Rune Dictionary with Husky.
“Are you sure you remember everything?”
Woof woof!
(Human, you may underestimate your own skills, but don’t undervalue this Woof!)
Seeing the man and dog so engrossed in their conversation as if no one else was around, President Qin suddenly felt redundant. He silently retreated to the side, gazing at the flickering rune of the fifth floor, filled with admiration.
Truly worthy of being the son of Celestial Brilliance. With the Skeleton Dragon and his unique Talent as a Soul Communicator, he stood unmatched amongst his peers.
But this Li Xusheng was also formidable, as he was the offspring of a Legendary Pet Beast. Although the lineage might be a bit diluted, he wasn’t inferior to Bai Qiucha.
Perhaps, the key to clearing the Tower of Gratitude depended on these two.
“Okay, Beta, do you remember how to do it?”
Shortly after, Bai Qi closed the Rune Dictionary and the confident Husky strutted his way towards the Tower of Gratitude.
As Bai Qi passed Minister Yi, Yi u gave a slight smile and asked, “Are you all set?”
“I suppose.”
Nodding, Bai Qi looked at Yi Yu’s smiling face and inexplicably felt a bit unnerved.
This guy wouldn’t be…into him, right?
Yi Yu nodded, saying, “Then let me wish you successful passage in advance.
Maybe we can even have a second transaction.”
“Uh, thanks.”
GLancing around at Yi Yu, Bai Qi shivered involuntarily and quickly dove into the Tower of Gratitude.
“It seems Minister Yi is really fond of Bai Qi, huh?”
Hearing Yi Yu’s words, President Qin couldn’t help asking. However, Yi Yu just shrugged and said, “Isn’t your association the same? The Special Training Program isn’t open to just anyone.”
Who would believe that!
President Qin turned away and fell silent, both of them once again sinking into a quiet stupor.
Secret Realm Tower Fourth Floor.
Bai Qi and Husky suddenly appeared before the teleportation circle leading to the fourth floor, with a fragment of a Rune Puppet – Type III lying by Bai Qi’s feet.
Compared to the Lamentation Tower, this Secret Realm Tower’s creator had a bit of a sense of humor, having added a memory feature.
Bai Qi summoned Alpha, made sure both pets were OK, then stepped onto the fifth floor.
Unlike the previous Ironforge style, the environment of the fifth floor resembled a primitive workshop.
Indeed, it was from these workshops that the fifty Rune Puppets emerged.
“Alpha, try to focus on control as much as possible, and wait for my order, Beta, find the opportunity to ambush.”
Click, clack.
(Master, I want to try again.)
A strong feeling of unwillingness transmitted back to Bai Qi’s mind. Shaking his head, he said, “It’s not that I think you can’t succeed, but that this challenge is just too brutal. They never intended for lower stage Beast Masters to pass. Let’s try out a new method first.”
Alpha looked down in disappointment, but his attention was quickly seized by the fifty Rune Puppets – Type I pouring out from the workshops.
Clang, clatter!
As soon as these fifty Rune Puppets appeared, they started to wobble toward Bai Qi. Meanwhile, Alpha did not hesitate to charge at them, brandishing Frost Sorrow.
The enemies in this Tower of Gratitude were different from those in the Lamentation Tower; they didn’t ignore the Beast Masters at all. Any kind of attack would do; if Bai Qi let these guys get too close, he would be in danger.
Therefore, Alpha didn’t hold back at all during the attack. With an Energy Value of 11,000, Alpha could use his skills freely without worrying about their cost.
Due to Bai Qi’s command, Alpha mostly just damaged the Rune Puppets’ circular saw arms and the giant cannon on their chest. He didn’t damage the Puppet Core in the middle.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to; he just couldn’t.
During the previous challenge, both Alpha and Husky had joined the battle: Alpha with his melee slash, Husky with his distant bombardment. In just a moment, they had demolished more than ten Rune Puppets.
But as they were wrecking these puppets, the workshops started to release the same number of puppets.
No matter how they fought, the battlefield always retained a regiment of fifty Rune Puppets.
In other words, the creator of the Secret Realm Tower basically didn’t intend for a Second Stage Beast Master to pass.. That was totally unfair!
