Chapter 1234: Level Up Rewards

A few hours later, Xiao Feng felt a bit downcast, already stuck on the 1048th floor for 40 minutes.

His cultivation had turned negative, with a total deduction of nearly 20 million.

As for this problem right now, there's still no clue; if he doesn't solve it within 50 minutes, he'll be deducted 16 million cultivation at once!

"tnnd, who designed this level of the Myriad Heavens Tower? It's fucking ridiculous!"

Xiao Feng was so depressed he wanted to hit someone.

If it were just a bunch of strong monsters as targets, that would be fine; even if he couldn't beat them, he'd just be temporarily kicked out.

But this stage's challenge is purely a test of intellect; if he can't solve it, he still loses cultivation—utterly absurd!

Xiao Feng took a deep breath, cleared his mind, avoided his earlier mistaken line of thought, and re‑derived the solution.

His willpower was already over 300,000, although willpower strength doesn't affect intelligence much—if his IQ is low, it stays low.

But a strong mental will lets him more easily discard distractions and not be disturbed by external things.

Re‑calculating the problem, this time he spent only nine minutes to work out the answer, recovering 8 million cultivation; he lost only 7 million, which is still within an acceptable range.

Then came the 1049th floor……

"Keep at it, Xiao Feng classmate—just two more problems and you'll get all the rewards~"

The Wisdom Arbiter winked at him and encouraged him.

At this point, in Xiao Feng's eyes, the Wisdom Arbiter was no longer a seductive female teacher but an old monster that devours cultivation!

If it weren't for her level being too high—even more outrageous than a Primeval Nine‑Tailed Fox—he'd really want to pop a buff pill and beat this NPC to death!

The 1049th‑floor problem was a bit easier for him than the previous one; he solved it in 37 minutes, losing 3 million cultivation.

The 1050th‑floor problem, however, was much harder; it took him 53 minutes to finish, and he was deducted 100 + 200 + 400 + 800 million cultivation, leaving Xiao Feng's face green with loss.

But at least he'd finally cleared this stage's challenge.

At the instant he finished the 50th question, the system chimed.

【Congratulations, you've passed the 1050th‑floor challenge!】

【You gained 1,050 challenge points!】

Then…… nothing!

There was neither the usual stage reward every 50 floors nor a mystery shop.

He could understand the lack of a mystery shop, after all this attempt really took too long—it didn't meet the shop's opening conditions and even cost him 40 million cultivation.

But not having any stage reward is a bit hard to accept!

After working hard all day, the result was nothing?

"Where's my reward? Where did my stage reward and item reward go?" Xiao Feng asked the Wisdom Arbiter, annoyed.

The Wisdom Arbiter smiled sweetly: "After the 1000th floor, you get a stage reward only every 500 floors—that's a super grand prize, so keep working hard~"

Then she raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Feng from a distance.

A strand of five‑colored light emanated from her fingertip, forming a five‑colored beam that shot into Xiao Feng's chest.

Immediately afterward, Xiao Feng heard a pleasant notification tone.

【Your 50‑floor challenge rewards have been combined, granting a reward of raising your level by 5! Since your level is below 500, the reward is doubled, for a total increase of 10 levels!】

Xiao Feng's body blazed with light, and he leapt up 10 levels in one go.

"Holy shit?"

He blinked in surprise, and his gloomy expression vanished instantly.

"If you'd said so earlier, I was about to die of anger. This reward is great, really great—I could do it a hundred more times, hahaha~"

His level shot up from 385 to 395—this isn't something that mere 40 million cultivation could match.

At level 385, leveling up required 23.34 million cultivation; at level 395, it required 29 million.

Adding up those ten levels in between takes at least 250 million—enough to cover two or more months of dungeon earnings.

Even after deducting 40 million, he still netted a 200‑million‑cultivation gain—this wave is a total profit!

Besides the level up, there were no other rewards—no items at all, only the fixed challenge points remained unchanged.

Now Xiao Feng's cultivation value is still –30 million, making another level‑up tough.

He loved and hated this classroom at the same time; after checking the time, he said to the air, "Continue the challenge."

Now the difficulty of obtaining a stage reward has increased tenfold, from every 50 floors to every 500 floors.

The Wisdom Arbiter said future stage rewards would be richer, likely worth ten times as much as before.

But passing the 500th floor isn't that easy; aiming to reach the 1500th floor, Xiao Feng isn't very confident.

【Switching battle scene, please wait……】

The surrounding scenery began to dissipate; the classroom vanished, and the seductive female teacher turned to dust and drifted away.

After a short while, Xiao Feng arrived at the challenge space of the 1051st floor—a vast Xing Kong.

"Thank goodness it's not a chemistry lab……"

Xiao Feng patted his chest, still feeling uneasy.

Math already gives him a headache; if a chemistry or physics‑type challenge came up, he'd probably go crazy outright!

The system voice announced the content of this floor's challenge.

【Myriad Heavens Tower 1051st‑floor challenge content: Destruction Power Challenge. Use any skill to destroy the object before you, and you'll pass.】

【Hint: Only personal skills may be used. Destruction‑power effects from equipment will be blocked, and damage dealt by equipment skills won't count toward the score.】

This challenge made Xiao Feng involuntarily break into a satisfied smile.

Cause destruction?

This is his forte!

Under the Ten Thousand Times amplification effect, his skill's damage output is already exaggerated, so its destructive power is naturally outrageous.

As long as it's not a system-protected environment, basically each blast creates a hole!

The challenge on the 1051st floor was a meteorite over 100 meters in diameter.

The challenge is not timed; as long as you can destroy it, the faster you do it, the easier it is to open the Mysterious Shop.

Xiao Feng took out the Myriad Dragon Divine Staff and, raising his hand, unleashed an Origin Explosion Technique bombardment.

Boom!

The Origin Explosion Technique detonated, with an effect radius of 1000 meters.

However, the meteorite was very hard; it didn't shatter immediately, only about a fifth of its size was blown away.

Xiao Feng added a few more strikes, and this meteorite, lacking system protection, shattered into thousands of pieces.

【Congratulations, you have passed the 1051st floor challenge!】

【You earned 1051 challenge points!】

【You obtained one Tier 3 Treasure Map!】

The points and item rewards were distributed, giving a treasure map, which was not bad.

The challenge for the 1052nd floor then appeared: the meteorite that had just shattered into thousands to tens of thousands of pieces re-aggregated into one, additionally attracting many small meteorites and combining into a larger meteorite, with a diameter approaching 150 meters.

"This difficulty increase is pretty fast..." Xiao Feng was a bit surprised.

The meteorite is roughly spherical; a 50% increase in radius raises the volume by 3.375 times, making the increase in destruction difficulty very obvious.

However, no matter how difficult, it's just a matter of time.

This stage's trial hardly has any chance of failure; it's basically a freebie level.

Destroy it faster, and you can also earn the Mysterious Shop's reward, even the Super Mysterious Shop's reward!

Xiao Feng didn't want to waste time; to increase his destructive power, he first took out the long-unused Civilization Sword to boost his attack power, then summoned the Worker Flame Lord.

At this time, the Perfect Main Divine Artifact had not yet finished bonding with its master; Xiao Feng equipped a ring and shoes, held the Myriad Dragon Divine Staff, and his divine yuan power was 3.1 million.

In the Blue Star No. 8 War Zone, civilization points are over 1230, still about 120 short of entering the Fourth Stage Civilization range; therefore, the Civilization Sword's attack boost remains +300%.

Holding the Civilization Sword as a secondary weapon, Xiao Feng's divine yuan power surged to 12.4 million, i. e., 1.24 billion attack power.

After summoning the Flame Lord, its attack power directly reached 6.2 trillion!

A 39-fold magic skill scale enlargement increased the Flame Lord's size to 120 meters tall.

A 120-meter-tall Flame Lord with 6.2 trillion attack power—destroying a 150-meter meteorite isn't exactly easy, is it?

"Worker, tear it apart for me!"

Xiao Feng pointed at the target ahead and issued the order.
