Chapter 25: The Ninth Level of the Battle Tower

The difficulty of the fifth level of the Battle Tower is such that even an Intermediate Esper would find it hard to pass; only geniuses among Intermediate Espers can make it through.

However, Ye Tian's strength is too terrifying; he easily insta-killed the Beasts on the fifth level and arrived at the sixth level.

The number of Beasts on the sixth level reached ten, and each one was a top-tier Level 2 mid-stage Beast.

It can be said that even if a Peak Esper encountered so many Level 2 mid-stage Beasts, they might end up finished.

However.

Ye Tian waved his hand, used the Object Control Technique to condense a blade, cast the Golden Light Technique to transform into a streak of golden light, and used his powerful physical strength to slash out blade after blade.

Pfft, pfft, pfft!!!!

The golden light swept past.

And the bodies of these Beasts had already been slashed into two by Ye Tian.

"In close-quarters combat, my attack power is also terrifying. If my Esper energy is exhausted, relying solely on physical strength is enough to unleash terrifying attack power!" Ye Tian muttered.

He prepared to learn a Strange Art that could bolster his physical body later on, as this would allow his physical strength to be unleashed even better; otherwise, it would be a waste of his terrifying physical body!

The seventh level.

The Beasts here were even more numerous, all of them Level 2 late-stage Beasts, and all contained powerful bloodlines, with the number reaching twenty.

So many Level 2 late-stage Beasts with top-tier bloodlines could easily surround and kill a Peak Esper, and even a weaker Ability Master might fall.

Swish, swish, swish!!!!

These Level 2 late-stage Beasts charged at Ye Tian one after another.

Ye Tian still only used the Golden Light Technique in combination with the Object Control Technique, plus his own physical fitness, to easily resolve this group of Level 2 late-stage Beasts.

Next, he arrived at the eighth level.

The eighth level was entirely Level 2 peak-stage Beasts, and the number reached thirty.

"Darkness Curtain!"

The A-Grade Dark Element Ability at the Consummation Realm was activated, shrouding the area and suppressing these Level 2 peak-stage Beasts.

Immediately following this, he cast one Strange Art after another, killing these Level 2 peak-stage Beasts and passing the eighth level of the Battle Tower.

He did not immediately go to challenge the ninth level of the Battle Tower, but only after recovering his Esper energy did he arrive at the ninth level of the Battle Tower.

The ninth level.

Upon arriving here, Ye Tian discovered there were no Level 3 Beasts, but rather humanoid creatures three meters tall, covered in red scales, whose aura was somewhat close to Beasts, but they were definitely not Beasts.

Although these creatures were illusory beings condensed by the Battle Tower, these creatures likely possessed intelligence not inferior to humans.

"What kind of creature is this?"

Ye Tian was puzzled.

But now was not the time for confusion; he had to fight these creatures and kill them in order to pass the ninth level.

These humanoid creatures each possessed the cultivation of an Ability Master and were skilled in various strange arts; they could also coordinate with each other, and the combat power they displayed was extremely terrifying.

Ye Tian dared not be careless; he activated the Darkness Curtain and even added various defensive Strange Arts such as the Earth Armor Technique.

"Object Control Technique!"

"Object Manipulation Technique!"

"Sword Control, kill!"

The flying sword transformed from the Blood Copper Sword exerted supersonic speed under these two Strange Arts, instantly piercing the skull of a humanoid creature and insta-killing it.

But these humanoid creatures were not few in number, and the other humanoid creatures had already charged over.

"Golden Light Technique!"

He attempted to transform into a streak of golden light to dodge, but black threads formed a net and covered him.

The Golden Light Technique was broken!

The next second.

Red light beams pierced through; although the Darkness Curtain could restrict their movements and speed, it could not stop them completely.

Moreover, their cultivation was too high, and it was difficult for the Darkness Curtain to restrict them much.

"Earth Escape Technique!"

Ye Tian attempted to escape into the ground.

But at this moment, a humanoid creature opened its giant mouth.

When closed, it didn't look that big, but once opened, it was enough to swallow an entire person.

Awoo~~~

A piercing sound came, forming a sonic attack that directly shattered the ground.

"Finger to Steel Technique!"

The surrounding soil turned into steel, attempting to resist the sonic attack, but it was still shattered.

If he were in the outside world, he could have fled far away, but the space inside the Battle Tower was small, and he had no way to escape.

Thus, he came out directly.

Pfft!

The Blood Copper Flying Sword pierced through the body of another humanoid creature, killing it.

But every time he activated the Object Manipulation Technique and Object Control Technique to drive the Blood Copper Flying Sword, the consumption was also very high.

Moreover, Ye Tian also had to endure their attacks, and he was soon wounded.

"Water Healing Technique!"

With the help of this Water-type Strange Technique, his injuries were recovering, but he could not achieve instant recovery.

Abruptly.

A humanoid creature unleashed a powerful mental Strange Art attack.

However, Ye Tian possessed a B-Grade Mental Defense Ability—Tower of Spirit.

In an instant, a pagoda appeared in his mind; the mental Strange Art attack unleashed by the opponent landed on his Tower of Spirit, causing it to merely tremble slightly without breaking it.

Immediately following this, Ye Tian took the initiative to use Object Control Technique and Object Manipulation Technique to control the Blood Copper Flying Sword, instantly killing it in seconds.

As time passed bit by bit, Ye Tian's various Strange Art powers were nearly exhausted, and the injuries on his body were gradually worsening.

Finally.

All of these humanoid creatures were killed by him.

He had cleared the ninth level.

Subsequently.

Ye Tian came out from the ninth level; he did not go to challenge the tenth level.

The ninth level was already so perverted, let alone the tenth level; it was certain that he would not be able to clear it.

When he came out of the Battle Tower, he saw many students complaining.

"The Battle Tower is too hard, right? I am a Peak Ability User, and yet I couldn't even clear the fourth level."

"Don't even mention it, I didn't even clear the third level!"

"I just heard that an Elementary Ability Master didn't even clear the fifth level!"

"It is said that the higher you go in the Battle Tower, the more perverted it gets; there are even upperclassmen who are Primary Strange Art Masters who didn't clear the eighth level. The eighth level is benchmarked against a Peak Esper, and yet even an Ability Master of a higher realm didn't clear it, so one can imagine how perverted the ninth level is!"

"What is the highest level that anyone in our batch of freshmen has cleared so far?"

"The freshmen with the highest cultivation right now are those Intermediate Espers, right? There is a high probability they can clear the sixth level, and a few monstrous ones might clear the seventh level. As for the eighth level, that's impossible!"

Just at this moment, Ye Tian saw a familiar figure walk out of the Battle Tower.

Lin Qingya.

And Lin Qingya also saw Ye Tian.

After all, the two were classmates, so Lin Qingya still walked over.

"Ye Tian, have you broken through to the Elementary Ability Master realm?" Lin Qingya said with envy.

She had also been training crazily over these two months, and with the support of her parents, she had only barely broken through to the Peak Ability User realm.

Compared to Ye Tian, that was a huge difference.

"Mm!" Ye Tian nodded slightly.

He had actually already broken through to the Intermediate Esper realm, but it didn't matter whether he said it or not.

"Which level of the Battle Tower did you clear?" Lin Qingya asked with some curiosity.

Ye Tian did not answer, but instead asked in return: "Did you clear the ninth level?"

Lin Qingya shook her head helplessly, "I only cleared the third level, I'm still a bit short for the fourth level; the Beast on the fourth level is too powerful!"

Subsequently, Ye Tian changed the subject to discuss other matters.

Lin Qingya also gradually forgot about the matter of which level Ye Tian had cleared.

After Ye Tian left, she then remembered that Ye Tian had not yet answered her question.

"The results of the Battle Tower are published on the official website every day, so I'll know what level he is at then; I reckon he could clear the fifth level, or even the sixth level!" Lin Qingya estimated.

After all, Ye Tian was the top scorer in the college entrance examination; being able to obtain the top score in the college entrance examination at the Peak Ability User realm meant he was definitely capable of fighting above his rank.

At this moment.

The seventh level of the Battle Tower.

An Intermediate Esper was in a bitter battle with the Beast of the seventh level.

He was Qin Yu, who was considered by the freshmen to be the one most likely to become the Newcomer King.
