Chapter 1225

Myriad Heavens Tower

Ai Chi Gai Zhao Fan

To avoid drawing attention, Xiao Feng always alters his information and operates under an alias whenever he goes to such crowded places.

He is merely an ordinary lower-rank god of level 320; aside from his strikingly handsome appearance, nothing else about him draws attention.

Upon arriving at the Myriad Heavens Tower, his first action was not to challenge but to first open the points shop to see what he could currently redeem.

Challenge content of layer 0801?

Clone?

"I don't know how many layers I need to clear to exchange for a 6th-tier Talent Pearl; for the third talent of my first clone, I'll just use a 6th-tier one." Xiao Feng thought to himself.

All Talent Pearls in the Myriad Heavens Tower can only be exchanged once; they cannot be redeemed repeatedly.

Tier 7 Talent Gem

If there are still 7th-rank and 8th-rank talents later, then the main body's 【Weather Control】 will be washed away and replaced with a new 8th-rank talent.

This way, the main body will have three 8th-rank talents, and the clones can also copy up to two 8th-rank talents each, maximizing the advantage.

The 7th-rank talent treasure bead can be given to the second or third clone to eat.

That way, there is still one slot left, so one of his clones will still need to eat a 5th-rank talent.

However, a 5th-rank feels a bit lacking; the first clone is used more often, so he plans to make it stronger, not in a hurry to swap for a 5th-rank.

"There are now 75 Supreme Treasure fragments; lacking just 6 more to combine into a 4th-rank Supreme Treasure. Keep gathering, and forming a 5th-rank would be even stronger."

Xiao Feng then checked his storage space again and set a goal.

He then immediately walked toward the challenge gate of the Myriad Heavens Tower and began a long-overdue challenge.

【Challenger: Xiao Feng.】

【Serial Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxx.】

【Challenge Count: 5th attempt.】

【Current Floor: 0801.】

【Failure Count: 1 time.】

After entering the challenge space of the Myriad Heavens Tower, an information page popped up, reminding him of his current results.

He is still currently in second place.

After the Ancient World event ended, many people could actually pass the 750th floor, but the charm challenge on floors 751-800 has stalled many.

Moreover, this bottleneck could be permanent; they might never get past it in their lifetime unless they undergo some cosmetic enhancements to raise their charm.

【Whether to start a new round of challenge immediately?】

The system popped up a query.

Xiao Feng replied: "Let's begin."

【Ding~ Confirmation, your 5th Myriad Heavens Tower challenge begins now!】

Swish!

The scene before his eyes shifted, and he found himself in a vast open plain.

A rock appeared ahead on the ground, about 3.5 meters on each side, estimated to weigh no less than 100 tons, which is 200,000 catties!

【Myriad Heavens Tower Floor 0801 Challenge Content: Strength Challenge. Simply using brute strength to lift the rock in the scene will allow passage.】

Xiao Feng felt a bit hesitant.

Last time he came, he only had 3000 points of strength, unable even to budge this thing a little.

Now, although his strength has surged to over 80,000 points, he still feels a bit inadequate.

For a normal player, 1 point of strength equals about 10 catties of force.

For melee professions, the strength conversion effect is higher, roughly equivalent to about 15 catties of force.

For leather-armored assassins and archers, it's rather average, about exactly 10 catties.

For spellcasters, it's directly halved, only about 5 catties of force.

Xiao Feng, without using the Wanlong Divine Staff at this moment, has a strength of 82,525 points, which converts to roughly over 400,000 catties of force.

That looks like a lot, but wanting to pass this stage's challenge still carries a bit of difficulty!

He stepped forward, empty-handed, grabbed a handhold on the edge of the boulder, then exerted force suddenly.

"Hiss! It's so heavy!"

The frail mage looked especially tiny before the 100‑ton boulder.

He exerted his full strength; at first he was a bit unaccustomed and almost wrenched his lower back.

Fortunately the game has no "wrenched back" function, so he still managed to lift it.

He hoisted the boulder overhead; the system sounded a "ding" and the challenge succeeded!

【Congratulations on clearing the 0801‑floor challenge!】

【You earned 801 challenge points!】

【You obtained one Tier‑4 Divine Pill!】

Xiao Feng was about to toss the boulder aside when the system immediately popped up another voice prompt.

【Challenge for the 0802‑floor of the Celestial Tower: Strength Test. Keep the pose of holding the boulder motionless; its weight automatically increases by 2% every 10 seconds. The longer you endure, the higher the floor you clear!】

Xiao Feng froze for a moment; the boulder he had intended to throw away was forced back onto his shoulders.

"Holy crap, isn't this challenge torture?"

Holding a 200,000‑catty stone, its weight increases by 2% each time, and he can't set it down!

After 500 seconds, if his arms give out, wouldn't he be crushed straight into pulp?

This 2% increase isn't added to the original 200,000 catties; it stacks layer upon layer—for example, floor 802 is 204,000 catties, and floor 803 is 208,080 catties!

By floor 850, it'll probably exceed 500,000 catties!

With his strength, he might barely be able to support it……

"I wonder if I can use a clone to shoulder it?"

Xiao Feng thought to himself.

The system began adding weight; the boulder's density didn't change, but its volume expanded ever so slightly, so the weight naturally rose.

As a mage, Xiao Feng was doing this kind of manual labor for the first time, and both his arms felt somewhat uncomfortable.

But to clear the stage, he still had to grit his teeth and endure!

Moreover, after recently being beaten up by a gaming‑partner sister in the real world, his actual physique has become extraordinarily exaggerated, far surpassing the 80,000+ strength points he has in the game.

Judging by the over‑year of tempering he's undergone in the real world, this weight is actually no great trial.

The only pity is that his external strength can't be brought in; otherwise, even if the weight were five or ten times greater, he could still handle it!

"Xiao Fashen, come out!"

Xiao Feng gave a low shout.

With the boulder pressing on him, his health bar appeared—also a combat state that meets the conditions for using One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

A wisp of white vapor rose above his head, condensing into a second self whose attire was a mishmash of styles.

Xiao Fashen equipped the Myriad Dragon Divine Staff, which adds 10,000 points to all attributes, now possessing 19,800 strength—about one‑quarter of his main body's.

The system didn't block his use of a clone to help; apparently the talent effect can be employed as long as he doesn't unleash skills.

With Xiao Fashen lending a hand, Xiao Feng's burden eased considerably; although most of the weight still rests on his main body, it's still helpful.

Both bodies are under his control; he can decide how to distribute the load, so there's no need to worry about one side being overloaded and the other underloaded, which would actually be counterproductive.
