Chapter 437: with translation of chapter title

Main Text Chapter 438: Speed Challenge

At this very moment, on the green grounds outside the Myriad Heavens Tower, the foreign players were all dumbfounded.

"So fast! What a terrifying speed!"

"Clearing floors 201 to 250 in just 12 minutes, this guy is too terrifying!"

"How did he do it? What is the content of these 50 floors?"

"He couldn't have cheated, could he?"

The foreign players gathered together, actively discussing and researching the possibility of this stage's challenge content.

The shark player and the winged player who had been arguing earlier now sat apart, one saying, "It's just floor 250; if he can do it, I can too!"

The other exclaimed delightedly, "No wonder he's a top player in our Primate Civilization Battle Zone. This guy must be a super‑rare, ultimate player like the four‑million‑year companion Shen Chuo!"

A crowd chattered, all gathering around Xiao Feng.

At that moment, in the challenge space of floor 251 of the Myriad Heavens Tower, Xiao Feng faced a new round of trial.

【Myriad Heavens Tower Floor 0201 Challenge Content: God‑Slaying Challenge – Intermediate. Defeat the guardian god‑level creature to pass.】

Then a mid‑tier god boss of level 350 spawned.

Although also a level 350 mid‑tier god, the boss on floor 250 had only 1.1 billion HP.

On floor 251, it increased to 1.3 billion.

"It seems this stage is similar to the previous one, except the boss is a bit stronger."

Xiao Feng felt it posed no difficulty; he simply used his minor skills and easily took it down.

Then floors 252, 253, and so on, one after another, were all cleared quickly in the same manner.

The people outside were shocked again, feeling this wasn't a challenge of the Myriad Heavens Tower at all, but merely playing house!

Soon after, Xiao Feng reached the difficulty of floor 300.

A boss spawned, giving him no time to catch his breath before launching an attack.

【Blackrock God】

Level: 400

HP: 2.3 billion / 2.3 billion

Divine Essence: 74,500

Divine Resistance: 48,500

Skills: Rock God Fist, Massive Rock Smash, Earthquake Wave

This boss is formidable if you call it formidable, but pretty trash if you call it trash.

Xiao Feng unleashed all five of his minor skills at once, easily dispatched it, and cleared the floor again.

The familiar system prompt sounded again, and his ranking had risen to a tie for seventh place.

He also received the privilege reward granted every 50 floors: the permission to redeem the 【Myriad Heavens Transport Privilege Token】.

The seventh‑place player named "Just Looking Around" of the Celestial God race stopped at floor 300, and it's unknown whether it was floor 301.

It was either too hard to beat, or he was too lazy to try, so he quit on his own.

"Judging by the difficulty, the next stage should be the Advanced God‑Slaying Challenge, right?" Xiao Feng thought to himself.

Afterward, he chose to continue the challenge; the system transferred him again to the challenge space of floors 301 through 350.

To his surprise, this challenge was not combat‑based.

The scenery shifted, and he found himself on a vast plain.

On the plain stood two flags, one not far ahead of him, the other 10 kilometers away.

The Myriad Heavens Tower gameplay tip read: "Floor 0301 Challenge Content: Speed Challenge. Without using potions, scrolls, or mounts, reach the target flag's position as fast as possible; completing it in under five minutes grants passage."

Xiao Feng glanced at it and thought, "This is way too easy!"

"Ten kilometers in five minutes is far easier than the God‑Slaying Challenge!"

Without a word, he activated Wind‑Control Technique and shot off with a whoosh.

At this moment his Divine Essence strength was over 630, and the effect of Wind‑Control Technique depends on base speed and divine strength.

Equipped with the Weather God Boots and the Gods' Glory Emblem, his speed already reached 845 points (845 meters per minute).

Adding the Wind‑Control Technique's boost, which equals his Divine Essence divided by 100, gives a 6.3× speed multiplier—about 5,300+ meters per minute.

Compared to the Thunder God mount, it's somewhat lacking, but still very fast.

If he activated Wind Spirit Body, he could double that again, reaching over 10,600 meters per minute!

Xiao Feng surged forward at great speed.

In less than two minutes he arrived at the flag's position.

【Congratulations on clearing floor 0301!】

【You earned 301 challenge points!】

【You obtained a random inferior‑grade divine artifact!】

From this floor onward, the reward description changed; it was no longer "Transcendent Mythic Gear" but "Inferior‑Grade Divine Artifact."

Xiao Feng's pack was already full, but with the 【Space Divine Ring】 he could still stash items; each thing the system directly gave him was tossed in without even a glance.

After clearing floor 301, the next was floor 302.

Floor 302's test is the same as floor 301's, except the flag has been moved another kilometer outward; the time limit remains five minutes.

Seeing this distance change, Xiao Feng furrowed his brow.

This wave… looks like it won't be easy to handle.

Following the rule that each block of fifty floors shares the same challenge, adding one kilometer per floor means that by floor 350 the distance would be sixty kilometers!

"Running sixty kilometers in five minutes—this speed demand is too high!"

To get through, one needs 200 meters per second, a speed of 12,000 meters per minute, faster than the Thunder God!

I need to increase my divine origin power, otherwise I won't be able to clear this stage completely.

Xiao Feng thought to himself, while continuing to ride the wind, swiftly flying past the challenge area.

302nd floor, 303rd floor, 304th floor……

Floor by floor, the distance between the flags gradually stretched out, and his time consumption also lengthened.

When he reached the 316th floor, he began to feel somewhat strained.

If he challenged the next floor down, he would have to activate the Wind Spirit Body Shield state to pass, and even then, at most one more floor, the 318th floor would still be a failure.

The active skill 'Weather Pull' of the divine artifact shoes could directly skip a floor, but it's still not enough; he would still get stuck.

Undoubtedly, the best way to clear the stage is to increase one's divine origin power, making one's wind-riding technique faster!

Or…… learn an acceleration skill even more powerful than the wind-riding technique!

"Let's do this for now, I apply to pause the challenge, go out to adjust and rest." Xiao Feng made a request to the Heavenly Tower.

He only has one chance to pause the challenge; if after resting he still can't pass, this challenge will end.

【Application approved, in 5 seconds you will be transferred to the external space; after re-entering the transmission gate, you may continue the challenge.】

The system responded.

After a few seconds, Xiao Feng's vision flashed with light, and he appeared on the grass of the external space.

Quick look, he's out!

Hahaha! I said it, he definitely can't make it into the top five; he can't even pass the 316th floor!

Well, but the 316th floor is already impressive; among all the civilizations of the great universe combined, only six people are stronger than him.

Hey, that's not how to say it; there are many genius players who haven't come to the Heavenly Tower. The rankings don't explain everything; truly strong people might be able to clear 10,000 floors!

You're such a crystal person! With only a 10,000-fold multiplier, only a brainless crystal person would say that!

Just as he walked out, Xiao Feng heard many discussions.

Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng.

That willow-tree spirit 'Loves to Soak in Water' came over and asked, 'How is it, is the challenge difficult? What difficulty is the 317th floor, and why did it stump you?'

The other alien-race players around also looked over, waiting for Xiao Feng's answer.

Xiao Feng smiled slightly and replied, 'I wasn't stumped; I just came out to rest a bit. Upon passing the 200th floor, I was rewarded with a chance for an intermission break; I came out to catch my breath, and by the way used the reward item to boost myself.'

Faced with so many players from other civilizations, he couldn't say he came out because he encountered a problem.

The challenge can be lost, but the badge must be kept!
