Chapter 32: Seconds-Killed by a Fireball Technique

"My cultivation has finally stepped into the Peak Esper realm!"

Ye Tian was quite excited.

He had not consumed any Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure to boost his cultivation; it was entirely through normal practice of Strange Arts, using Strange Arts to improve his cultivation.

If other Espers practiced like him, it would be difficult to improve by even a small realm in several years, but he could easily improve his realm.

Who else but him had all their Strange Arts at the Consummation Realm? Improving cultivation was naturally fast.

"It's a pity, my Water Talent Ability potential is still a bit short of reaching A-Grade!"

However, if he could just find a bit of A-Grade water material, he could immediately raise his Water Talent Ability potential to A-Grade!

In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

Outside Donghai City.

Qin Yu met with an old servant of the Qin Family.

The old servant took out a Storage Bag and handed it to Qin Yu: "Second Young Master, inside here is the fresh spirit soil collected by the family, about 300 jin, worth 3000 points. Take it back to submit the mission."

"3000 points!"

Qin Yu was overjoyed.

With this, he would surely be able to win Newcomer King.

Moreover, there were only seven or eight days left until the end of the freshman period; it would be difficult for Ye Tian and others to surpass him.

Afterwards.

Qin Yu took the spirit soil back to Donghai University to submit the mission.

Donghai University was also quite surprised to see so much spirit soil and needed to investigate, but they found no issues, and since it was fresh spirit soil, they naturally had to acknowledge that Qin Yu had completed the mission.

Just like that, Qin Yu got his 3000 points, directly surpassing Ye Tian.

Soon, Ye Tian received the news.

"Qin Yu surpassed my points, gaining 3000 points in an instant. This is too exaggerated, what kind of mission grants 3000 points all at once? The Qin Family is simply going too far, cheating so blatantly!"

Ye Tian said speechlessly.

However, background was also a part of strength, and there was nothing he could say.

"I'll just wait for the last day. You all want to surpass me and become Newcomer King? Hehe!"

Ye Tian was not in a hurry at all.

And soon, his ranking dropped from second to third, and even fourth.

Clearly, Qin Yu was not the only freshman cheating by relying on their family or backing forces.

Soon, six or seven days passed.

The time arrived at the last day of the freshman period.

At this time, Qin Yu was temporarily in first place, Xiao Ziyun in second, Zhang He in third, and Ye Tian in fourth.

Among them, Xiao Ziyun was only 500 points behind Qin Yu, not a very large gap.

It could be said that until the very last second, it was impossible to determine who the Newcomer King was.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

Ye Tian arrived at the Battle Tower; he would not go to challenge the tower in the last hour, there was no need for that.

Once he cleared the tenth floor of the Battle Tower and obtained 10000 points, he would far surpass the others; no matter how they cheated on the last day, they wouldn't be able to surpass him.

Qin Yu had also been sending people to keep an eye on Ye Tian, and upon learning that Ye Tian had gone to challenge the Battle Tower, he panicked.

"That guy Ye Tian couldn't possibly clear the tenth floor, could he?"

"It should be impossible. The ninth floor was already so monstrous; he probably only barely cleared the ninth floor, perhaps even using some special means. It is absolutely impossible for him to clear the tenth floor as well!"

"I should go and take a look!"

Qin Yu hurried to the Battle Tower.

The tenth floor of the Battle Tower.

After Ye Tian walked in, one alien after another condensed into form.

Before, he didn't know what these humanoid creatures were, but now he knew: they were aliens from the Underground Cave, condensed by the Illusion Array.

Soon, dozens of aliens condensed, and every one of them had reached the Intermediate Ability Master realm, each with top-tier combat power.

Let alone an Intermediate Esper, even a high-level Esper with powerful combat strength would find it difficult to clear this floor!

"These aliens are skilled in various aspects; united, the threat is too great. Donghai University setting the Battle Tower so difficult is likely not because they want him to clear it, but so that while challenging it, one can realize their own flaws and thereby mend them step by step."

Ye Tian thought to himself.

After all, once students of Donghai University reached their sophomore year, almost all of them had to enter the Underground Cave to fight and kill the Lin Clan; if their flaws were too obvious, it would be dangerous.

Boom!!!!

These aliens charged at Ye Tian one after another, with various Strange Arts condensing.

"Let's test the effect of the Golden Body Technique!"

Ye Tian's whole body turned golden, like a small golden statue.

He did not use any other Strange Arts, purely testing the power of this A-Grade Strange Art of his.

Bang!!!!

The various Strange Arts struck his body and were directly deflected.

At this moment, Ye Tian seemed to break ten thousand laws with a single force.

"Break!"

With one punch thrown, an alien was directly blasted to death.

Next, Ye Tian displayed the terrifying power of the Golden Body Technique at the Consummation Realm, quickly slaughtering these alien races and successfully passing the tenth floor.

In reality, if a normal Peak Esper were to cast the Golden Body Technique at the Consummation Realm, it would not have such power, but his physical body was too formidable, which was why it possessed such a terrifying effect.

"I passed the tenth floor quite easily, so I will continue to push forward and see the difficulty of the eleventh floor."

Ye Tian took a step forward and arrived at the eleventh floor of the Battle Tower.

The eleventh floor.

One after another, alien races condensed into existence, each with a cultivation at the level of a High-level Esper.

At this moment, even Ye Tian felt the pressure; he feared this level would not be easy to pass.

Consequently, he prepared to give it his all, otherwise, it would be impossible to clear this stage.

"Darkness Curtain!"

Hum!!!

The A-Grade Dark Element Ability, Darkness Curtain, shrouded the surroundings and suppressed the alien races, but these High-level Esper alien races united, appearing as if they were about to tear the Darkness Curtain apart.

"Hell Wood Thorn Technique!"

"Darkness Spear!"

"Object Manipulation Technique, Object Control Technique!"

Ye Tian unleashed various methods, killing several alien races in an instant.

But the reactions of these alien races were truly terrifying, and since they were all condensed by an Illusion Array, they almost never made mistakes.

Boom!

A series of attacks struck Ye Tian's body, but the Golden Body Technique resisted them head-on.

Yet, at this very moment, the Darkness Curtain was torn open.

This A-Grade Strange Art was broken and could not be condensed again for a short time.

Suddenly.

A killing blow appeared, which was surprisingly a drill-type Strange Art, striking at supersonic speed.

Ye Tian attempted to dodge, but the gravity on his body suddenly increased.

"Gravity Technique!"

Ye Tian knew that it was too late to dodge by casting the Golden Light Technique at this moment.

"Flash Technique!"

His body shifted five meters instantly, dodging this strike.

As the battle progressed, Ye Tian's energy was heavily depleted, but he also killed more and more alien races.

Once he was injured, he would use the Endless Life Technique to heal himself; this was the most suitable B-Grade Strange Art for self-healing during a battle.

"The Darkness Curtain can be used again!"

Ye Tian activated the Darkness Curtain once more, quickly killing the remaining alien races and passing the eleventh floor.

But by this time, his various Strange Art energies were severely depleted, and he could only be considered to have barely passed the eleventh floor.

And passing the eleventh floor earned him 20,000 points.

After recovering his energy in the Battle Tower, Ye Tian entered the twelfth floor.

He wanted to experience the difficulty of the twelfth floor.

Soon, he discovered that there was only one alien race on the twelfth floor.

This alien race had a body covered in hard black scales; judging from its appearance, it should be from the Black Scale Clan of the Scale Clan.

The Scale Clan is divided by scale color into the White Scale Clan, Black Scale Clan, and Gold Scale Clan, among which the White Scale Clan are commoners, the Black Scale Clan are nobles, and the Gold Scale Clan are royalty.

This alien race was clearly a noble of the Scale Clan.

"A Black Scale Clan member who is a Peak Ability Master; I wonder how strong they are?"

Ye Tian charged over to test the opponent's strength.

And this Black Scale Clan member extended a finger and condensed a fireball.

"Fireball Technique???"

This is just a very common E-grade Strange Art!

Even if they are a Peak Ability Master with great strength, can attacking him with an E-grade Strange Art break his Golden Body Technique?

Ye Tian did not care in the slightest.

But the next second, he was stunned.

Pfft!

The Fireball Technique pierced directly through his body, punching through the Golden Body Technique.

Immediately after, he exited the Battle Tower; his body was fine, but the scene that just occurred left him feeling somewhat palpitated.

The Fireball Technique had killed him in one hit!

This was simply too embarrassing!

"No, that was definitely not the Fireball Technique; it seemed to contain a terrifying power!"

Ye Tian thought to himself.
