Chapter 199: Preparing to Storm the Spirit Tower
Chapter 199: Preparing to Storm the Spirit Tower
"...There's an unwritten rule within the Spirit Tower: if you wish to obtain exceptional soul spirits that are a millennium old or older, you can attempt to storm the tower. Well... as you all need to obtain millennium soul spirits, this method suits your purpose perfectly."
After seeking leave from Teacher Xiang, Leng Dong'er led Wang Si and the others as they prepared to head to the headquarters of the Spirit Tower.
Along the way, she briefed them on the situation regarding the Spirit Tower that afternoon.
"...The Spirit Tower headquarters has a total of 108 floors, each sealed with a different spirit guide array. Once you pass a particular floor, you can choose from the soul spirits encountered by Soul Masters on that level for purchase or contract."
Speaking of this, Leng Dong'er couldn't help but feel a little exasperated as she rolled her eyes.
"Considering that you've been helping me craft the Single-Word Battle Armor these past few months, you can directly absorb the soul spirits you encounter during your tower challenge later!"
Hearing this, the few of them silently nodded, indicating their understanding.
It was only natural that others would have objections to Leng Dong'er, an "outsider," being the first to obtain the Spirit-Forged Single-Word Battle Armor.
After all, they couldn't just hand over such a precious quota to her simply because she was better at pandering and flattering! If it weren't for Wang Si telling them that they could obtain rare soul spirits, they wouldn't be happy to help an outsider forge battle armor.
"Are you sure it's fine for us outsiders to enter your Spirit Tower? And are there really no other restrictions for this tower challenge?" Wang Si asked, his brows furrowed.
Leng Dong'er provided a reply to this question as well. "Of course, not just anyone can challenge the tower. According to the current rules of the Spirit Tower, only two types of people are eligible to attempt it.
The first type is insiders of the Spirit Tower who also have a certain level of backing and support, just like me.
The second type consists of individuals with special talents. As long as their identities are vetted and approved by the Spirit Tower, they can also challenge the tower.
You all currently fall into the second category and have gained entry eligibility because you helped me craft the battle armor.
Additionally, taking into account the different types of soul spirits among Soul Masters, especially support-type Soul Masters who can't directly engage in combat, this tower challenge is carried out as a team effort.
The team size limit is seven people, and the fewer members there are, the greater the rewards will be.
The first eighteen floors of the Spirit Tower contain soul spirits ranging from a hundred to a thousand years old. The higher you ascend, the older and more exceptional the soul spirits become.
From the eighteenth to the thirty-sixth floors, you'll find millennium soul spirits. These are soul spirits that the Spirit Tower has collected over the years and cloned using special means.
Without exception, they are all powerful beast souls."
At this point in her explanation, Leng Dong'er felt a bit speechless.
What a load of bull about powerful beast souls! These beast souls within the Spirit Tower were commonplace outside this copy! The reason they were featured in the Spirit Tower wasn't because they were inherently strong but simply because these beast souls were more numerous!
"And what about the floors after that? I thought you said the Spirit Tower has 108 floors. Why did you stop at the thirty-sixth floor? What about the rest?"
Reminded of the beast souls outside, Leng Dong'er couldn't help but think of a certain someone. Interrupted by these folks, she couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"What's the rush? You're acting as if you have the capability to reach beyond the thirty-sixth floor."
Glancing at Wu Siduo, Leng Dong'er rolled her eyes discreetly.
"Alright, fine. You do have a chance of making it past the thirtieth floor, but that's about as far as you'll get.
From the thirty-sixth floor and above, you'll encounter beast souls that are tens of thousands of years old. These ancient beast souls have been weakened, so absorbing them won't require an excessive amount of mental strength. Therefore, you don't need to worry about your safety!"
In this world, although the power system was identical to the outside, Bibi Dong had to admit that it paled in comparison to the outside world.
Chapter 199: Preparing to Storm the Spirit Tower
...
The Spirit Tower was not a physical structure but a virtual one, and its grade was even higher than that of the Spirit Ascending Platform, making it one of the most important components of the headquarters. The lobby on one of its floors was spacious, featuring counters and numerous elevators.
Leng Dong'er led Wang Si and the others onto one of the red elevators. She swiped her unique badge, and the elevator doors opened immediately.
The elevator ascended for a full minute. Aside from the initial acceleration and the final deceleration, the group had little sense of their speed.
As the elevator doors reopened, the group stepped out and witnessed a breathtaking scene.
They didn't know which floor they were on, but in front of them was a glass wall that offered a view of the outside.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a vast sea of clouds, billowing in the air. From this height, they could vaguely make out Schlager City below.
Leng Dong'er took out her Spirit Guide Communicator, dialed a number, and after whispering a few words, gestured for the group to follow her.
The decor in this part of the Spirit Tower was a milky white, and the floating clouds outside easily gave one the feeling of walking on clouds.
There was a silver door, which Leng Dong'er knocked on before pushing it open and leading the group inside.
This was a very spacious room, simply furnished, indicating that the owner was not one for fuss.
A tall woman sat behind a desk.
The woman looked to be in her early thirties, dressed in casual business attire, with black-framed glasses perched on her nose and long red hair flowing down her back.
She exuded a quiet and gentle aura, appearing to be an ordinary staff member.
Upon seeing the group enter, the red-haired woman smiled and stood up. Her figure was well-proportioned, standing at about five feet nine inches, taller than the teenagers present.
As soon as he entered, Wang Si felt a scrutinizing gaze sweep over him.
"Welcome to the Spirit Tower. Greetings, I am Leng Dong'er's teacher, Leng Yao Zhu."
The red-haired woman rose, her demeanor warm and friendly, and then strolled over to the group.
"Greetings, Senior," Wang Si and the others bowed respectfully.
Leng Yao Zhu? Leng Dong'er's teacher? This was the first time the others had heard of her.
However, most of them had either interacted with or knew of the world's elite, and they quickly recognized the name Leng Yao Zhu.
It just didn't seem appropriate to bring it up at the moment, and there was also the fact that the person before them had a very different personality from the "her" they knew.
The red-haired woman reached out and patted each of their shoulders in turn, then continued with a satisfied smile.
"There's no need for formality. You are all outstanding students of Schlager Academy and classmates of Dong'er. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance.
Well... knowing that you're pressed for time, I won't delay you any further. Dong'er has already briefed me, so let me lead you there."
As she spoke, the red-haired woman turned and walked toward the exit, her gait graceful and elegant, her entire being exuding feminine charm.
Meanwhile, Leng Dong'er challengingly tilted her chin at Wang Si, as if to taunt him...
