75: 68 Breakthrough and Rewards_2
The monster beasts on the seventeenth floor were much fiercer.
Before long, Lin Sisi’s spirit beast, the Spirit Insect, was wounded.
Continuing the battle, her chances of winning were slim, and the Spirit Insect might get killed.
She gave up on the challenge, and the eight monster beasts vanished.
Lin Sisi was then sent out of the Thousand Demon Tower.
“Who is this sister?
She’s so impressive!”
“I’ve seen her before, that’s Junior Sister Lin from Golden Toad Peak; she’s related to Grandmaster Chu’s spouse and comes from the Lin Family of Red Maple Ridge.”
“The Lin Family of Red Maple Ridge, no wonder she’s so formidable.
It’s a pity, I thought she could break through the eighteenth floor!”
“If it were so easy to get through the eighteenth floor, who knows how many disciples would have done it.”
The disciples discussed vigorously, each expressing their views.
“Disciples of Green Cloud Peak who wish to test their skills in the Thousand Demon Tower, come over and line up.”
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator shouted loudly.
Qin Shan quickly led Shen Long and the others over to queue up and register.
Gu Tianhong was the first to enter the Thousand Demon Tower.
As soon as he entered the first floor, two Mountain-Pushing Beasts appeared, both at the initial stage of the first tier, and rapidly charged at Gu Tianhong.
Gu Tianhong released his Gold-Winged Thunder Lion, Purple Patterned Fire Centipede, and Ice Wind Lion to attack the two Mountain-Pushing Beasts.
Soon, the two initial stage Mountain-Pushing Beasts were defeated, and Gu Tianhong moved on to the second floor, where three first-tier initial stage monster beasts emerged.
Relying on his Gold-Winged Thunder Lion, Purple Patterned Fire Centipede, and Ice Wind Lion, Gu Tianhong effortlessly got through the first ten floors.
On the tenth floor, he faced a late first-tier Blood-Eyed Toad.
Shen Long also entered the Thousand Demon Tower and began his challenge.
As soon as he stepped into the Thousand Demon Tower, two first-tier initial stage Fire Cloud Clams appeared, about ten yards away from him.
The two Fire Cloud Clams opened their huge mouths, each spitting out three bowl-sized crimson fireballs that shot straight toward Shen Long, while two red tongues lashed out aiming at him.
Shen Long’s figure flickered, avoiding the three crimson fireballs.
With a wave of his right hand, a water-jar-sized giant fireball flew out and smashed onto one of the red tongues.
A loud explosion ensued, and rolling flames engulfed the Fire Cloud Clam’s tongue.
One Fire Cloud Clam let out an excruciatingly painful shriek as it retracted its tongue.
A water-jar-sized giant fireball hurled toward it; it tried to dodge, but a thick green vine burst from the ground, ensnaring its hind limbs.
Before it could break free, the giant fireball crashed onto the Fire Cloud Clam.
With a huge boom, the giant fireball exploded, transforming into rolling flames that engulfed the Fire Cloud Clam’s form.
Before the flames had dispersed, another giant fireball smashed down.
In less than ten breaths, both Fire Cloud Clams were annihilated by Shen Long who then reached the second floor, where a Galewind Wolf, a Scarlet Flame Tiger, and a Mountain-Pushing Beast appeared, all at the initial stage of the first tier.
Shen Long raised his right hand, and a giant fireball flew out.
Before it even struck the monster beasts, he released the third giant fireball, his attack speed exceptionally fast.
“Who is this brother?
He looks somewhat unfamiliar, but the speed of his spellcasting is so fast, he must have cultivated the Fireball Technique to Great Perfection!”
“This is Junior Brother Shen, new to our sect.
He’s extremely talented in Art Techniques, having cultivated all five elements of first-tier spells to Great Perfection.”
“It seems there are quite a few formidable new entrants this time, making the grand tournament in three years even more challenging.”
······
Qi Refining Cultivators watched other Qi Refining Cultivators attempt the challenge, commenting on their performance.
Shen Long, with his Great Perfection in all five first-tier Art Techniques, advanced through the floors as unstoppable as a bamboo splitter, quickly reaching the tenth floor, where he faced a late first-tier Ice Crystal Scorpion.
The Ice Crystal Scorpion opened its mouth and spewed dozens of white ice cones straight at Shen Long.
Shen Long retreated, dodging the white ice cones.
He raised his right hand, a streak of green light shot out and entered the ground, and a green vine as thick as an adult’s arm burst forth, entangling the Ice Crystal Scorpion’s body.
It exuded a large amount of white chill from its body, freezing the green vine.
It struggled and easily snapped the green vines.
Just as a giant fireball came crashing down, rolling flames engulfed the Ice Crystal Scorpion.
Shen Long raised both hands, and giant fireballs flew out one after another, smashing into the Ice Crystal Scorpion.
Loud explosions rang out, and the fire intensified.
Seven giant fireballs hit the Ice Crystal Scorpion one by one, and it was killed.
Shen Long then reached the eleventh floor, where this time his opponents were a late first-tier Mountain-Pushing Beast and a Purple Patterned Fire Centipede.
Shen Long released the Fire Rock Beast and the Iron Tail Scorpion to take on the Purple Patterned Fire Centipede, while he faced the Mountain-Pushing Beast.
He also took a Rejuvenation Pill to recover his mana.
At that moment, Gu Tianhong was on the fifteenth floor, facing the attacks of six late first-tier monster beasts and feeling pressured.
The Gold-Winged Thunder Lion, Purple Patterned Fire Centipede, and Ice Wind Lion bore injuries.
He held a red flying dagger, and five red flying daggers streaked towards the six late first-tier monster beasts.
Mother-Child Blade!
Gu Tianhong had many family members in the Spirit Control Sect, being the son of the Gu Family’s head, and thus his family was quite wealthy.
Qin Bao was on the fourteenth floor, also facing the attack of five late first-tier monster beasts, and he too felt the pressure.
He didn’t have a set of Magic Artifacts; he lived by hunting monster beasts, often cooperating with many Qi Refining Cultivators.
Now, facing five first-tier monster beasts alone, the pressure was immense.
He had raised a Strong Golden-Backed Ape, but it was only at the middle stage of the first tier.
Before long, Qin Bao was defeated and sent out of the Thousand Demon Tower, and the Strong Golden-Backed Ape was gravely injured.
Qin Bao sighed.
Being able to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Refinement and raising a Strong Golden-Backed Ape was quite an achievement among Loose Cultivators.
However, compared to the disciples from cultivating families like Gu Tianhong and Tang Yuting, he was far behind.
