Chapter 42: Challenge the Tower of Heavenly Silence
18-year-old newcomer class-changers have basically only passed the novice dungeon.
The number of elite monsters in the novice dungeon is naturally very small, and they are hard to encounter.
For a newcomer like Su Ming, being able to encounter and kill one would be considered extremely lucky.
Not to mention the influence of the drop rate element.
It's possible to kill many elite monsters and not have a single material drop!
Yet Su Ming pulled out so many reinforcement materials from elite monsters.
It's no wonder the blacksmith was so surprised.
Su Ming just smiled indifferently and said.
"Just good luck."
The blacksmith's expression was grave, and he could only categorize this young man, Su Ming, into the ranks of the wealthy second generation.
"These materials of yours are very good; they should be able to smelt into very high-quality steel."
"In that case, I might be able to help you reinforce this sword to Gold-high-grade."
"Normally, the most expensive part of reinforcement is the materials, but now that you've provided them yourself,"
"I can only charge a labor fee."
"20,000 Arrival Coins!"
The owner stated a flat price. ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
Su Ming didn't hesitate and immediately initiated the trade from his personal panel.
A portion of his materials had already been sold on the trading house, and the gold coins were credited.
So he acted without hesitation.
The owner accepted.
"Young man, come back in three hours to pick up the sword."
He said.
Su Ming nodded and left.
Experienced blacksmiths upgrade weapons very quickly; a few hours is enough.
Su Ming prepared to challenge the Tower of Heavenly Silence during this time!
The Tower of Heavenly Silence was the building at the very center of the Heaven Tower World!
It is said to be a supreme structure built by the rules of the world.
This sacred tower is a full 100 stories high.
In human history, no one has ever reached the hundredth floor.
It is said that if you reach the hundredth floor, you will be able to know the truth about the world and the Day of Arrival.
In his past life, Su Ming only challenged it up to the eightieth floor.
Each floor of the Tower of Heavenly Silence grants different rewards.
Progressively, the rewards get better and better.
The rewards are also completely random, with all kinds of types.
They can help people become strong quickly!
Su Ming walked forward quickly.
Finally, he arrived at the entrance of the Tower of Heavenly Silence.
Many young people were gathered here.
Many of the newcomer class-changers of this batch, after obtaining the qualifications for the Heaven Tower Society, the first thing they thought of was to come and challenge the Tower of Heavenly Silence.
You won't die in the Tower of Heavenly Silence; if you are defeated, you will be ejected.
However, everyone only has one chance to challenge the Tower of Heavenly Silence each month.
So it can be considered a precious opportunity.
Su Ming's expression was calm as he arrived at the gate.
He saw that in front of the tower, there was an illusory screen with a ranking on it.
[Newcomer Ranking]
[1. Sun Xiaoyang, stopped at the 8th floor]
[2. Wang Sha, stopped at the 7th floor]
[3. ...]
This ranking showed the newcomers of this batch.
Su Ming stretched his body, preparing to start the challenge.
At this time, many people were walking out of the tower, looking dejected.
"Too hard... I only made it to the fourth floor before I was kicked out!"
"That's nothing, I made it to the third floor and encountered a giant minotaur that gored me, and I was instantly killed!"
"You guys had it easy; I was easily defeated by that longsword knight on the second floor!"
"Too hard..."
"Really too hard..."
"But the rewards of this Tower of Heavenly Silence are also very good!"
"I'll come again next month!"
A group of people clenched their fists, full of drive.
At this time, Su Ming noticed a familiar figure in the crowd.
It was actually Li Chenguang!
His right hand was gripping a dark green longsword, a Silver-quality weapon.
After his sword was broken by Su Ming, he had switched to this Silver-quality weapon.
Moreover, his right hand had some injuries, and two fingers had been severed.
The way he held the sword looked clearly unnatural.
In his eyes, there was a trace of vicious anger and resentment.
He walked with firm steps toward the Tower of Heavenly Silence!
He wanted to become strong; he wanted revenge!
After his first place was snatched away, all factions were extremely disappointed in him.
Many original investments were terminated.
The principal of Wuyang Third High was even held accountable by various factions and nearly fell from power; he was now just a vice-principal.
This made Li Chenguang feel the pain of falling from the clouds.
He attributed everything to Su Ming.
This kind of hatred made his anger soar to the heavens.
So after he obtained the Heaven Tower Society qualification, he immediately came here without stopping to seek an opportunity to become stronger!
Seeing Li Chenguang appear here, the surrounding players were all somewhat surprised.
Some people stepped forward to greet him, seeking to team up.
They were sucking up to Li Chenguang.
After all, no matter what, he was a ten-star talent Blade Maniac.
Although he was ranked second, surpassed by Su Ming, he still had value.
However, the friendliness of this group was met with Li Chenguang's indifference.
He ignored everyone completely, just walking alone toward the Tower of Heavenly Silence.
Where there are people befriending, there are naturally people mocking.
"Yo, isn't this the number one genius, Li Chenguang?"
"Haven't seen you in a few days, why so pathetic?"
"Li Chenguang, didn't you say you were going to slaughter the students of our Nanmian City and Xuanjing City to reach number one in the Dragon Kingdom!?"
"How come your hand got chopped off!"
"Could it be that the monsters were too fierce!"
People mocked wantonly.
Because Li Chenguang had been too glorious some time ago, suppressing all students with his own strength!
Plus, the principal of Wuyang Third High was also a talented person who attracted hatred, wagging his tongue everywhere, arrogant to the extreme, and suppressing other schools.
Now, everything had backfired.
So Li Chenguang's situation was very bad now.
Everywhere there were people jealous, hateful, and waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
He could be considered a tiger fallen to the plains.
All his former glory had turned into jealousy in people's hearts.
Now people naturally loved to see him decadent and failing.
There were many people kicking him while he was down.
"Li Chenguang, I remember you said back then that you would treat students like wild monsters to grind and kill for leveling up?"
"How come now, your hand is ruined?"
Someone saw the injury on Li Chenguang's hand at a glance and delivered a precise strike.
People didn't know who caused Li Chenguang's injury, and they were actually somewhat curious.
If it were before, hearing these words, Li Chenguang would have been furious and rushed over to start killing.
But now, his expression was gloomy and calm.
In his heart, there was only Su Ming!
He wanted to surpass Su Ming and kill Su Ming. ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
