Chapter 403

The light orb flashed, and Luo Tian's tower-guarding phantom ceased its movements.

As for Lei Wanjun, he was spitting blood, with no telling how many of his bones were broken.

A little later, and he would have been beaten to death.

"Well... here is a healing elixir as a reward for you; you may proceed to the second floor," the light orb said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

As it spoke, an elixir floated before Lei Wanjun.

"Th-thank you, Lord Tower Spirit." Lei Wanjun gritted his teeth and swallowed the healing elixir.

However, his injuries were truly too severe; even with the healing elixir, the recovery speed was very slow.

Just like that, Lei Wanjun dragged his injured body, moving step by step toward the second floor.

Meanwhile, the scholar crossed his arms, looked at the light orb, and said, "Very weak, right?"

The light orb was also shocked at this moment.

"That shouldn't be! One-thousandth of his power is already this strong? Then how strong must his true self be?"

The scholar recalled the situation when he first saw Luo Tian, and he too fell into deep thought.

It seems he had underestimated this master of his.

On the other side, outside the Life Tower.

Qin Lin saw the restriction on the Life Tower's gate lift, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Hmm? Lei Wanjun passed the first floor? That's fast!" he said.

Feng Litian also narrowed his eyes and said, "Pah, I really thought it was impossibly difficult, but he passed so quickly; it seems it's nothing special! Lei Wanjun and I are evenly matched; if he can pass, so can I!"

Qin Lin glanced at Feng Litian and said, "Palace Master Feng, let you go first this time."

At this moment, Qin Lin was no longer in a hurry.

In any case, Lei Wanjun had already lost the initiative by going in first.

It would be better to let Feng Litian scout the path while he observed to make full preparations.

Feng Litian understood Qin Lin's thoughts but didn't mind, saying, "Good, then many thanks, General!"

With that, he stepped into the Life Tower.

Inside the Life Tower, the light orb and the scholar were still discussing.

"I made a mistake, but this tower-guarding phantom is too strong, which isn't a good thing. Should we change the rules? For example, if they can withstand three moves, they pass? Let the tower-guarding phantom stop after three moves?" the light orb asked.

The scholar thought for a moment and said, "That could work."

The light orb smiled, "Good, I'll change it immediately."

However, it hadn't acted yet.

Hum!

Feng Litian stepped into the Life Tower.

"Lei Wanjun, I won't let you get ahead of me; I'm starting right now!" Saying this, he slashed a palm toward Luo Tian's phantom.

If the tower-guarding phantom is attacked, the tower challenge is considered started; unless the challenger admits defeat, the tower spirit has no right to intervene.

This was a rule set by the previous owner of the Life Tower, which the tower spirit could not change.

Therefore, the light orb couldn't do anything in time, and the battle began.

"A new tower guard? Let me show you the power of the Palace Master of the Wuyou Immortal Palace!" Feng Litian said, as a vast aura surged into the sky, and terrifying waves of energy pressed toward Luo Tian's phantom like a mountain-toppling sea.

And then...

Boom!

With a loud bang, Feng Litian was blasted against the wall, and seven or eight broken teeth sprayed out of his mouth.

"How... is this possible?" Feng Litian was shocked.

Although he knew the tower guard might not be simple, this was too strong, wasn't it?

Boom!

Before he could think further, on the other side, Luo Tian's phantom rushed over again, delivering another plain and unadorned punch.

"Seal!"

Feng Litian didn't have time to think and immediately acted to seal it.

Crack!

One punch down, and bones were broken and tendons snapped.

"Ah—" Feng Litian let out a miserable howl and retreated backward.

He finally realized how powerful his opponent was.

On the other side, Luo Tian's phantom pursued again.

"Run!"

Feng Litian didn't say a word and could only dodge.

However, his movement technique was even weaker than Lei Wanjun's.

So, how could he escape?

Following a series of muffled thuds, the scholar couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, unable to bear watching anymore.

"Good grief, he's even more miserable than the last guy!" the scholar muttered to himself.

The light orb said helplessly, "Hey, that's thirty moves; if you admit defeat now, you can go to the second floor."

Feng Litian immediately shouted, "Defeat... I admit defeat!"

Whoosh!

Luo Tian's phantom immediately stopped its movements.

The light orb looked at Feng Litian's miserable state and felt a wave of shame.

Hum!

A beam of spiritual light, carrying two elixirs, was sent before him.

Strictly speaking, Feng Litian's performance was worse than Lei Wanjun's and didn't deserve two elixirs.

However, the light orb saw he was too miserable and gave him an extra one.

"Go on, go to the second floor," the light orb said.

"Good..."

Feng Litian swallowed the two elixirs, his injuries finally stabilizing, and then he laboriously climbed the passage leading to the second floor.

Hum!

Upon arriving at the second floor, he saw Lei Wanjun, also covered in blood, healing in place.

"You..." The two looked at each other, then simultaneously turned their heads away.
