Chapter 644
The firepower challenge was actually not too difficult for Xiao Feng.
His weather mage talent gives him a field-clearing ability that ranks among the best in the entire 《Myriad Heavens》 game.
Plus the Ten Thousand Times talent increasing output, and now he has a full set of top-tier equipment, his stats explode—basically every attack is a one-shot, wiping out enemies in batches.
His score increases by several hundred points at a time, with astonishing efficiency.
If even his speed can't clear it, then this 650th floor would be too hard.
Xiao Feng cleared the 601st floor in under 20 seconds, and as the score requirement increased, the time taken gradually rose.
But even upon reaching the 650th floor, he only needed less than 8 minutes to pass the challenge.
Accompanied by a pleasant system prompt tone, 650 points were credited, and he also received 3 Supreme Treasure fragments.
As the floor number increased, the rewards for clearing each challenge got better and better.
Potions and scrolls below tier 3 rarely appear anymore, and when equipment is given, it's top-tier divine artifacts.
From floor 507 to 650, Xiao Feng's backpack gained a large amount of high-quality equipment and items.
Even Supreme Treasure fragments occasionally appeared during his successive clearances, accumulating to 16 pieces.
After clearing the 650th floor, Xiao Feng's ranking returned to third place, still behind 'Accompanying Play for Four Million Years' and 'Ultra-Dimensional Mech Soldier 17'.
The stage-clear reward for the firepower challenge gave him a chance to respec his skill points for free, allowing him to wipe all potential points and reallocate them.
Xiao Feng still had two or three thousand unallocated potential points at this time; his stats were more than enough, so he didn't need this.
So, like the 'Oblivion Talent' privilege from the previous stage, he temporarily kept it unused.
Because his clearance speed was fast, he again triggered the mystery shop's reward.
A window popped up, showing three selectable items.
As expected, Supreme Treasure fragments were still on the list!
【Mysterious Scripture Fragment*2】: 2400 points
【Void Annihilation Scroll】: 4000 points, tier 6 scroll, deals devastating strike to a designated area (maximum range not exceeding 30*30 km)
【Supreme Treasure Fragment*10】: 30000 points
The mystery shop's offerings are still the same, very cost-effective.
Xiao Feng didn't hesitate and exchanged for all of them.
After the exchange was complete, his Supreme Treasure fragments had
Accumulated to 26; just one more is needed to synthesize a tier 3 Supreme Treasure.
Mysterious Scripture Fragments also total 3 copies; still need 6 more to synthesize a tier 1 Secret Art guidebook.
After redeeming the rewards, the 651st-floor challenge arrived, and Xiao Feng tirelessly continued to push forward.
Meanwhile, the outside world had already exploded in an uproar because of his results.
……
Outside the Myriad Heavens Tower, tens of millions of players watched the third-place ranking's score soar all the way, refreshing the floor number every few minutes, each one utterly shocked.
"So strong, is it too strong?"
"I can't even beat floor 100, yet he's already past 650 floors, and his speed is that fast!"
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng... this guy, if we meet him in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield later, we must stay far away!"
The Myriad Heavens Tower has begun to gradually become 'commonerized'; the average strength of players coming here is not particularly high, and those who can climb to several hundred floors are seen as immortals in their eyes.
However, among these tens of millions, there are also some top-tier players mixed in.
"There are still many experts in the Primate Civilization faction; it seems the Creator God also favors his own race."
A sea turtle lay on the grass, sighing as it spoke.
He is a top player of the Aquatic Civilization, named 'Deep Sea's Gaze'; although he hasn't entered the top ten, he has reached floor 318, and due to insufficient speed he cannot pass the 'Speed Challenge'.
Beside him, there is also a jiao dragon coiled on the ground.
This jiao dragon is named 'Humans Must Die'; it once ranked in the top ten, but was gradually surpassed, now at floor 423, ranking 13th, stalled at the 'God-Slaying Challenge·Advanced'.
He sighed upon hearing this: "There's nothing we can do; who made their ancestors so strong? Our aquatic civilization's ancestors are no good—each generation worse than the last, and one was even captured to become an NPC in the 《Myriad Heavens》, truly disgraceful."
"Shh, keep it down; if that ancestor hears, he might skin you alive!" reminded the Sea Turtle Deep Sea's Gaze.
The jiao dragon 'Humans Must Die' snorted lightly: "I heard it, I heard it; I didn't slander him, I'm just stating facts. If facts aren't allowed to be spoken, what kind of ancestor is he?"
The big sea turtle shook its head, inwardly agreeing but daring not to say it out loud, instead saying: "Forget it, let's not talk about this; let's see how many floors that human Xiao Feng can climb. This guy is too strong; probably only that individual from the Mechanical Race can defeat him."
"What do you mean? You look down on that human stronghold in first place?" the jiao dragon wondered.
The big sea turtle laughed: "They're both humans, what's there to fight about? You're stronger than me, but would you hit me? Obviously not! So there's no need to contend over this."
"Hmm, makes sense. Looks like the task of dealing with humans can only be left to the Mechanical Race." the jiao dragon nodded.
The two Aquatic Civilization powerhouses lay on the ground, watching the score changes of the Myriad Heavens Tower, paying little attention to the weaker ones around them.
Not far from them, a human black-clad girl was also monitoring Xiao Feng's movements.
"Floor 651... at this speed, catching up to that Mechanical Race cheater is just a matter of time; maybe even my ranking won't stay stable." she murmured.
She was pondering whether to clear another few hundred floors to put pressure on others.
But upon second thought, reaching floor 1000 is already excessive; going further would drive others to autism, which wouldn't be good.
"Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng... this guy, I don't know his character; if he's reliable, let him be the Primate Civilization's great leader, saving me the trouble of having to personally go into battle."
"Hmm, I'll meet him later!"
She secretly reckoned in her mind, having already calculated many future events.
At that moment, a figure teleported to the outskirts of the Myriad Heavens Tower.
It was a robot.
Its build was comparable to a human's, slightly taller.
Its entire body was coated in silver-white paint, with large 'lightning' symbols marked on the surfaces of its arms and legs.
As soon as this robot appeared, it attracted the attention of many alien players.
Look! It's Hyper-Dimensional Mech Soldier No. 17!
How did he come? Could it be that he knows Xiao Feng is chasing his floor count, preparing to challenge again and widen the advantage?
Or maybe he came straight to block Xiao Feng, to duel him face-to-face?
This robot is none other than the second-ranked powerhouse of the Heavenly Tower—Hyper-Dimensional Mech Soldier No. 17!
After arriving at the Heavenly Tower, the first thing he did was open the rankings to check the situation.
Immediately letting out a very human-like cold laugh, he muttered to himself: 'Finally, an opponent who's somewhat interesting has arrived.'
Just as his words fell, the black-clad girl's silhouette swooped in behind him, smiling lightly: 'Yes, finally an opponent who's somewhat interesting has arrived.'
Hyper-Dimensional Mech Soldier No. 17 turned his head, instantly stunned: 'It... it's you!'
