Warrior's Promise Novel - Chapter 267
Chapter 267: The Trial and Reward
The tower had nine floors with each being over a hundred meters tall.
Currently, everyone was gathered before the closed gate on the first floor of the tower.
“When will this gate open?” some impatient fellow asked.
‘I’m not sure. I’ve waited a whole day already!”
“The gate’s extremely tough. Even attacking it will not work!”
“Sigh… Must we keep on waiting?”
Everyone was disappointed. Although the tower looked incredible, it was infuriating that they could not get in. Despite this, no one chose to leave.
Everyone was waiting for a chance that the tower’s gate would open by itself.
Meanwhile, Leng Yunfeng was standing in front of the crowd and was looking at the closed gate with a frown.
After a moment of thought, Leng Yunfeng looked toward the few other Top 100 Talents that were present and asked, “Feng Xiu, Xin Wuming, Ji Xuehan and Jiang Cheng. How about the five of us combine forces to break the gate?”
Leng Yunfeng was the first one to arrive at the tower. He had already tried to break the gate open and had failed.
Now, he was thinking of join forces with the four other Top 100 Talents for another attempt.
“I agree with your suggestion. We’ll try it together.” A pleasant voice was heard. It was Ji Xuehan who had spoken.
Ji Xuehan was a tall beauty that wore a white dress. It gave off an air of coolness and left people a feeling of being unapproachable.
She was ranked No. 89 in the List of Top 100 Talents and was even above Leng Yunfeng and Xin Wuming.
At this moment, there were five masters from the Top 100 Talents at the tower. One of them was Jiang Cheng who was ranked No.97.
“Alright, let’s do it!” Feng Xiu agreed with a nod. Xin Wuming and Jiang Cheng then followed the suit as well.
“Okay, let’s do it together!” Leng Yunfeng yelled.
Then, the five of them released their Genuine Vitality and their powerful aura swept across the surrounding area like a storm.
“Back up now!”
Everyone else was alarmed and quickly backed up to a safe distance.
However, there were a dozen people who stayed put. Apart from Su Mo, the rest of them were all extraordinary experts at the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, including Jin Yang.
Five dazzling rays lit up in the next moment. Five attacks, including fist radiance, sword Qi, saber radiance, and palm print, all struck toward the gate ferociously.
With the five attacks, the sky changed and it felt like the world was collapsing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The attacks struck the gate and sent a deafening bang several dozen miles out along with a terrifying shock wave that shot out from the gate.
Some martial artists, who were weaker than the Lv 3 True Spirit Realm, were hit by the shock wave and started spitting blood, even though they had retreated several hundred meters.
Su Mo’s clothes were also flapping rapidly from the shock wave. He squinted his eyes and thought, “Each of these five people is incredibly strong and their strength is unmeasurable!”
Crack!
After being blasted by the attack from the five experts, a tiny gap in the gate opened with a cracking sound.
Everyone was overjoyed to see that the gate could be opened with brute force.
“Everyone, let’s attack together! Anyone can get the treasures inside with their own strength!” Leng Yunfeng turned and yelled at the crowd.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Everyone flew back and started to prepare their attacks.
Although they could not win against geniuses like Leng Yunfeng, they stood a chance as long as they could enter the tower.
Su Mo did not hold back and struck the gate with a punch as well.
Boom!
Thousands of attacks blasted the gate. It trembled and slowly opened under the eager gazes of everyone.
After the gate opened, all that could be seen in the tower was a glaring white light.
No one dared to enter the tower recklessly as they worried that there might be a powerful attack formation at the entrance.
“Ha ha! I’ll be going in first!” Xin Wuming laughed and said. He then dashed through the entrance and disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Xin Wuming was extremely confident in his strength. Even if there was a powerful formation, he believed that he could get out unharmed.
When everyone saw that Xin Wuming had entered the tower safely, they started rushing into the tower.
Su Mo also went in with a flash.
Swish!
After entering the tower, Su Mo found himself in a vast space of whiteness that was surrounded by a bowl-shaped light shield.
Su Mo was surprised when he glanced around and saw no one else, “Could the people that have entered the tower become separated automatically?”
After a brief thought, Su Mo punched the light shield with a little effort, but his fist radiance collapsed as soon as it made contact with the light shield and did no damage at all.
“It’s tough!” Su Mo frowned and thought to himself.
It was as if he was entrapped in the bowl-shaped light shield with nothing around him.
At this moment, the air in front of him trembled vigorously. The white light gathered and became a human-like figure in a second.
The figure of white light was shaped like a man but had no facial features. It also held a sword that was similarly formed by the white light.
“This is…”
Su Mo was confused and stared at the figure with uncertainty.
Swish!
The figure stepped out and stabbed toward Su Mo right away.
“Early Lv 3 True Spirit Realm!”
As soon as the figure moved, Su Mo found that its cultivation was higher than his.
However, Su Mo was not impressed by its strength. He unsheathed his sword and slashed the figure in two with one strike.
The figure dissipated and a square white-jade box flew in from beyond the light shield before Su Mo grabbed it.
Su Mo’s eye lit up when he opened the jade box. There was a blue, egg-sized fruit in the box that gave off an intense fragrance.
“Lower Lv 3 Spiritual Fruit!” Su Mo smiled. It seemed that the fruit was his reward.
He instantly realized that the Ethereal Territory was a training ground for the disciples of the post-archean power, the Ethereal Shrine. This tower should be a trial for the disciples, and as long as one could defeat the figure of white light, they would be rewarded.
As expected, the surroundings changed after a while and Su Mo appeared in a bigger light shield.
As of now, Su Mo had left the first floor of the tower and entered the second floor.
Meanwhile, the figures of white light appeared before Su Mo again, but this time, there were two figures at once and they were identical.
“Middle Lv 3 True Spirit Realm!”
Su Mo smiled. The figures that he needed to fight with had a higher cultivation than before.
Right after the figures formed, they attacked Su Mo from both directions with destructive rays of sword radiance.
However, their strength was insignificant compared to Su Mo’s current power.
Swoosh!
A thick stream of sword Qi shot out and slashed through the two figure’s waist, dissipating the white light into tiny fragments.
Then, another white jade box flew over to Su Mo, and he found a scroll inside.
