Chapter 52: If I said my Soul Profession is God-level, would you believe me?

"Director, all signal monitoring for the Secret Realm Tower has returned to normal!"

"However, the signal for Qin Ye on the 11th floor has suddenly disappeared!"

A staff member hurried forward to report this to Liu Lanzhi.

Upon hearing this news, Luo Dachun looked at the large screen once again.

Sure enough, the green dot that previously represented Qin Ye's vital signs had vanished without a trace.

This made his heart tighten; he snatched the controller from Liu Lanzhi's hand and pressed the buttons repeatedly, beginning to search for Qin Ye's signal.

"What about the top floor? What is the situation on the top floor right now?" Liu Lanzhi, hearing that all signals had recovered, quickly thought of Zhou Chu, who was still on the top floor.

Just then, a loud bell toll rang out through the entire Monitoring Hall, and the entire Secret Realm Tower plaza was filled with the sound of this bell.

Everyone in the Monitoring Hall, upon hearing this bell, stood frozen in place, their faces showing expressions of utter astonishment.

"The Secret Realm Tower... has been cleared?"

Liu Lanzhi opened her mouth in surprise, her face instantly clouded with confusion.

Along with the ringing of the Secret Realm Tower clearance bell, the alarm lights that had been flashing in the Monitoring Hall also extinguished.

Even all the monitoring equipment returned to a normal state, as if nothing had ever happened.

Amidst their astonishment, everyone present turned their gazes back to the large screen in front of them.

When people saw that Zhou Chu's points had risen by another 80,000 on top of the original base, they were instantly dumbfounded.

A high school student who had just bound a Soul Profession had actually cleared the Secret Realm Tower, ultimately raking in over 500,000 Climbing Tower Points.

It was simply too incredible.

This could absolutely be called a feat.

As Zhou Chu cleared the Secret Realm Tower, the signs of external force intrusion that had occurred just moments ago also vanished without a trace.

Judging by this, the abnormal reactions of all the monitoring equipment just now had a great deal to do with Zhou Chu being about to clear the tower.

At this moment, for everyone present who knew Zhou Chu, all their previous perceptions were completely shattered.

They began to seriously reflect on Zhou Chu's true strength.

There was no doubt that the Soul Profession Zhou Chu had bound earlier was indeed F-rank.

But possessing his current strength meant that the Soul Profession he bound must have undergone an awakening.

As everyone knows, the probability of a Soul Profession triggering an awakening is extremely low.

After hundreds of years of tempering the Soul Profession System, those fortunate enough to obtain an opportunity for Soul Profession Awakening are few and far between.

At the same time, after awakening, the Soul Profession Quality can only increase by one grade at most; no one has ever achieved a leap-frog improvement.

Something that even an S-Grade cannot do was accomplished by an F-rank.

What does this indicate?

It indicates that the Zhou Chu at this moment is no longer F; in reality, he has already surpassed S, and perhaps even reached higher.

To be able to clear the Secret Realm Tower solo, one would estimate that only a sufficiently high-grade Soul Profession could manage it.

However, is there really a case where a Soul Profession, after awakening, leaps from the lowest grade to the highest level?

Isn't this a bit too unreal?

One must know that between F and the highest grade, there are several huge chasms blocking the way.

Does the probability of ascending to the heavens in a single step really exist?

Every person present held a deeply skeptical attitude.

However, with the continuous improvement of the Soul Profession System, perhaps one day in the future, it will be seen.

But it definitely won't be today.

Not to mention that the people in the Monitoring Hall didn't believe it, even the City Lord Xing Mochuan didn't believe it at this moment.

At this moment, this City Lord of Tianhua City was in a state of confusion the instant he heard the Secret Realm Tower clearance bell ring.

Although the Secret Realm Tower clearance bell had been set up beforehand, this was his first time hearing it, so he was still in a dazed state.

Xing Mochuan could not help but sigh repeatedly.

Who would have thought that in his lifetime, he would be fortunate enough to hear the sound of the Secret Realm Tower clearance bell once.

This suddenly gave him a feeling that his life had not been in vain.

But how should the previous external intrusion be explained?

As one of the five Seven-turn Soul Professional powerhouses in all of Shenxia, Xing Mochuan held the prestigious title of "Copper Baron."

He was also the third-ranked Soul Professional in terms of overall strength in all of Shenxia.

Just now, he could clearly feel that there was an unusual Calamity Aura surging inside the Secret Realm Tower.

But the moment the clearance bell rang, this powerful Calamity Aura instantly vanished.

Perhaps the clearance bell was just a misjudgment, and in reality, it was the calm before the storm.

After all, this setting had been left idle until now and had never been triggered; it was very possible that the related circuits had aged.

He would rather believe that this was a sign of external invading forces breaking the tower than believe that a high school student who bound an F-rank Soul Profession had cleared the Secret Realm Tower.

Just then, a beam of light projected down from the top of the tower, reflecting a portal onto an open space not far away.

"City Defense Army, take orders!" Xing Mochuan's expression turned stern, and he shouted, "Immediately blockade the area around the portal! Once any monsters appear, execute them on the spot!"

The City Defense Army acted swiftly, quickly surrounding the entire portal like an iron barrel.

And Xing Mochuan was also on high alert, red light flashing in his hands, occasionally emitting a crackling sound.

Just then, a figure slowly appeared within the portal.

The moment Zhou Chu stepped out of the portal, he saw that he was being surrounded by a large group of heavily armed people.

They all looked tense, pointing their weapons directly at him.

"Friendly fire, friendly fire!"

Seeing this, Zhou Chu hurriedly struck a pose of surrender and quickly shouted.

At the same time, the portal behind Zhou Chu vanished in an instant.

When these City Defense Army soldiers saw Zhou Chu dressed as a high school student, everyone wore a look of bewilderment.

Seeing that the person who walked out of the portal was a high school student, Xing Mochuan hurriedly ordered the City Defense Army soldiers to stop.

Then, he walked forward in a few steps, scrutinized Zhou Chu with a suspicious look for a moment, and asked, "Are you Zhou Chu from Tianhua No. 1 High School?"

Zhou Chu nodded and replied, "That's right, City Lord, I am Zhou Chu."

Xing Mochuan's gaze remained tightly locked on Zhou Chu, as if he wanted to see something unusual about him.

"You are the one who cleared the Secret Realm Tower?" he asked again.

Zhou Chu nodded again: "Yes."

"I heard you only bound an F-rank Soul Profession; how could you possibly clear the entire Secret Realm Tower? You must be responsible for what you say!"

Xing Mochuan did not rule out the possibility that the high school student before him was a spy sent by the Calamity Legion.

After all, he had seen too many Calamity monsters, and quite a few high-level monsters were adept at disguise and transformation.

Zhou Chu sighed helplessly.

Although he did not know what had happened outside during the time he was climbing the tower.

But seeing the situation before him, he also understood the purpose of the City Defense Army gathering here.

They must have discovered the threat of a Calamity Invasion.

As things stood, he could only tell the truth.

Zhou Chu took a deep breath, looked at Xing Mochuan with a serious expression, and said, "City Lord, actually, the Soul Profession I bound is not F-rank..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhou Chu hesitated again.

If he told Xing Mochuan that his Soul Profession was God-level, would he really believe him?

Xing Mochuan had an expression waiting for Zhou Chu to continue.

But seeing that Zhou Chu had stopped halfway through his sentence, it inevitably made him feel a wave of annoyance.

This was just like taking a dump halfway through and suddenly saying you wouldn't finish; how could it not make someone feel uncomfortable?

Seeing Xing Mochuan's expression gradually turn gloomy, Zhou Chu hesitated for a moment before tentatively saying, "If I said my Soul Profession is God-level, would you believe me?"

Xing Mochuan was stunned for a moment, then shouted loudly: "God-level Soul Profession? Zhou Chu, do you take me for a three-year-old child?"

At the same time, he cursed inwardly in annoyance: "I don't believe a word of your nonsense."
