Chapter 1378: Chapter 1382: Survival Challenge
The tremor that spread throughout the Middle World lasted for a full six months, and everyone’s emotions began to shift from surprise to calm, eventually settling into tranquility.
However, everyone knew a newcomer had arrived at this place, wielding the power of a Perfect Being at the realm of a Saint, defeating a Main God expert into submission, and could unrestrainedly absorb the blood power of the Perfect Being.
They believed that when Zhang Menglong emerged next time, he would once again shock everyone!
And at noon, an emotionless voice came from somewhere in the Middle World.
"The Nine-story Tower Trial begins, ants, entertain me with your performance!"
"What the hell, who is this!" At this moment, Zhang Menglong had just finished devouring the last trace of energy, exuding the aura of the True God Realm. However, having absorbed tens of thousands of drops of energy comparable to a Main God Realm Martial Artist from the blood of the Perfect Being, his combat power could not be measured with the usual perspective of the True God Realm.
He opened the room door, seeing Gray and others anxiously waiting for him.
"Finally, you’re out, hurry! We’re gathering at the Central Square! The trial at the nine-story tower is about to begin. If we don’t complete the preparation within the stipulated time, we’ll be obliterated by this world’s World Force!"
"Obliterate?" Zhang Menglong was startled.
"To prevent anyone from dawdling here, the nine-story tower trial is mandatory for everyone. If you don’t go, you’re dead!" Gray said, "Hurry up, there’s not much time to prepare."
"You punk..." Only then did Gray notice that Zhang Menglong already possessed the aura of the True God Realm!
How long has it been? They’ve known Zhang Menglong for less than a year, right? From a Saint to the True God Realm in just a year... It’s truly unbelievable.
"I really don’t know what’s inside your body." Gray sighed.
"Clearly, it’s something different from you." Zhang Menglong was not modest either, having the physiological structure of an Ultimate Lifeform, Zhang Menglong’s body indeed was entirely different from theirs.
At the Central Square, over fifty million people were all prepared; some prided themselves on their strong abilities, at least confident to pass one level, and if failing, they could choose to quit and return to idle daily life.
However, for others, the first level was already a life-and-death struggle. To them, it was a brutal trial determining life or death.
Of course, there were newcomers like Zhang Menglong who had recently arrived in this Middle World. They mostly feared the unknown, as the trial contents of each level of the tower changed, providing no effective information.
Suddenly, a bell rang across the sky, sounding like holy heavenly tones, silencing everyone instantly.
"This trial is the 10,000,000th round, difficulty adjusted to twice the usual, compulsory three-level trial, non-abandonable halfway!"
"What? Three-level mandatory trial? How can this be happening?"
"Normal difficulty is already terrifying, why double the difficulty? Is this meant for everyone to die here?"
"Well... it’s exaggerated to say everyone would die, but this time, at least seventy percent will perish. It seems this batch is undergoing a reshuffle!"
The entire square became extraordinarily noisy; the sudden rule change pushed everyone into a frenzy of despair. It was already a near certain death, now it was practically sentencing to death, only those usually passing three levels might have a slim chance.
"Zhang, seems we’re quite unlucky." Gray and others smiled bitterly as they faced such a big challenge on their first arrival.
"Don’t panic," Zhang Menglong patted their shoulders, "I’ll carry you to victory, Xiao Dai helps earn points, just shout 666 behind me."
"Can you carry me too?" A familiar voice came from behind Zhang Menglong—it was Nado, whom they briefly met at a bar last time.
This time, Zhang Menglong’s realm skyrocketing allowed him to speculate Nado’s strength better. Compared to that guy named Soga, Nado seemed a bit weaker, probably around the third to fourth level of the nine-story tower. It was indeed risky this time.
Originally thought Zhang Menglong’s words were a joke, after hearing Zhang Menglong’s recent deeds, Nado no longer viewed him with the usual Saint perspective, especially now Zhang Menglong stood here with a True God Realm aura—it felt obvious; his instinct told him following Zhang Menglong this time would bring great opportunities!
"Alright, I’ll take you all to victory." Whether Nado was joking or not, his kindness in sharing so much information earned him favor.
The pale light began descending from the sky, enveloping those it touched, transferring them to another location with strong Space Force.
"Hold each other tightly, we should be transferred to the same place," Nado suggested.
"Whoa! Don’t grab my waist, that’s disgusting!"
"Hey, who’s touching around, we’re all men, this makes me suspect you’re a cunning trickster zero."
"Stop pulling my hair! It’ll go bald!"
Nine people disappeared into the light with Zhang Menglong carrying them.
...
The scene changed drastically; they appeared in a city made entirely of steel, long a wasteland as if it endured a harsh battle before.
Zhang Menglong stepped forward, suddenly hearing a clang—it felt like he kicked something.
It was a robotic head with a half-embedded lance, surprisingly, that lance was a weapon of a Perfect Being!
"Wuhu! Already profiting," Zhang Menglong pulled the weapon from the machine head.
"Brother Nado, what counts as passing this level?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Soon, a voice will announce the pass conditions," Nado replied.
"Seems like Infinite Terror," Zhang Menglong self-murmured, as that Middle World resembled a Main God space, and the nine-story tower was tasking worlds. Passing trials meant living; failing meant dying.
However, it’s quite exciting.
"The first trial of the nine-story tower begins!" That emotionless voice spoke again.
"This is the ruin of the strongest mechanical civilization, Doran Civilization. Survive in this ruin for one year, survive to proceed to the next tier."
Nado’s face changed abruptly. Having frequented the nine-story tower numerous times, tasks have types, among them the survival type is hardest, most dangerous, and highest death rate.
Survival type implies there are terrifying threats here, where you lack both qualification and power to resist, hence enduringly seeking survival is the only option.
"Brother, this level, might not be easy for us!"
