--- Chapter 272 ---

As every team entered the Tower of Babylon, teachers and elders outside saw four massive holographic screens appear on all the tower's sides, which further split to showcase the contestants' performance.

For example, the Shrek Academy's elders and teachers are nervous.

Although the new Shrek Seven Devils has exceeded their expectations, the new format of the Continental Spirit Academy Tournament has changed and might cause their loss.

However, it seems their worry is uncalled for.

...

Tower of Babylon, 1st Floor.

The new Shrek Seven Devils arrived at the white-marbled room with four stone pillars, observing the surroundings cautiously with Tang Sect's Purple Demon Eyes.

Their leader, Bei Bei, observed the area and raised his arm, "Everyone, I didn't see any enemy but to make sure."

"Let's enter Xuan Wu's Formation first."

"Wait, where is Luo Xin?" He Caitou suddenly alerted everyone. They looked around and noticed the lack of their eighth member.

A pleasant voice echoed in the Tower of Babylon's 1st Floor.

[Rest assured, everyone. Every reserved member is currently staying in a different space(watching you from there) and could only join the battle by replacing the existing member]

[Team Leader, please take note]

[You only have 30 seconds of resting time after finishing one floor]

[You can only change members every ten floors by saying "Exchange." followed by team member's names]

[Any member who got fatally injured would be considered a loss and sent out of the tower right away]

[Lastly, the Tower of Babylon would broadcast your performance to everyone outside, so do your best~!]

[Good luck, I meant it]

Everyone accepted this information well and already planned what they must do next. Yet their first trial appeared without warning.

Wang Dong blinked and suddenly saw the entire room filled with small spirit beasts. These spirit beasts are horned hares with a cultivation age of 10 years old.

However, there are countless white-furred hares in this room.

With that, the preliminary officially started!

Most teams thought the challenge was too easy and slaughtered through the horned hares like mowing grass. However, the exchange students had more experience. They told their teammates and another team from the same academy or sect to keep their energy consumption as low as possible.

They climbed to the Tower of Babylon's second floor and were 'instantly' welcomed by another room of horned hares. Of course, the horned hares are twenty years old now.

Third Floor, pass.

Fourth Floor, pass.

Fifth Floor, pass.

Five minutes later, everyone finally finished the ninth floor.

White light enveloped them again, and one gigantic horned hare entered their vision. The shocking part is when they found the spirit beast is over 1,000 years old instead of the expected 100.

Brainless teams would run and defeat the boss straight ahead. Still, the others would definitely notice the exaggerated spirit beast's strength on the tenth floor.

According to their calculations, the boss should be 100 years old.

But the cruelty has yet to begin.

After defeating the boss, they were faced with a question.

[Would you like to continue or give up?]

"Continue!" Everyone answered without further ado.

...

Tower of Babylon, 11th Floor.

Everyone made a move and faced new spirit beasts this time.

Bigger and stronger than horned hares, they faced a group of fast ocelots. They have a cultivation age of over one hundred years and movement like wind.

Once again, they also swept the ocelots like they were nothing and met with a mind-boggling increase in difficulty. It is because the ocelots become stronger by fifty years every time they advance.

When they arrived at the 20th floor, the boss they had to face was over 5,500 years old and frightened by its ghost-like speed. The arrogant teams who wasted their spirit energy met the iron plate and suffered, but the horror hadn't even begun.

Amidst this chaos, the holographic screen caught the miserable sight of several teams.

"This is embarrassing."

"They actually dare to look down on their enemy just because they were 100 years old..."

"And now, they are exhausted when facing a stronger enemy."

"Who taught these kids? That person must be beaten to a pulp!"

Thud!

On one holographic screen, a group of youths are breathing heavily with sweat-soaked bodies. They look like someone who has run around Java Island several times.

Looking at their sorry state, some teachers and elders couldn't hide their contempt. In a world where strength speaks, these youths actually play around and not be cautious.

Jian Bo shook his head helplessly, "They won't survive long in the real world."

"Aih, thank god our Shrek Academy has a high standard in education."

"Not as high as Dragon Nest, but our students at least aren't like this."

"Yeah..." Elder Xuan Zi stared at the holographic screen silently.

Aside from the Shrek Academy and other factions, he has been trying to watch the Dragon Nest Team's performance. Nevertheless, the pool of contestants is too much, and he couldn't see Huo Yuhao on screens.

"As soon as the team starts falling, we should be able to see more prominent teams." He commented casually.

Everyone slowly climbed up to the 30th floor and started to differentiate themselves from each other. They had to fight a boss that was over 10,000 years old.

To be exact, 12,250 years old! And it was a fiery bull, such a spirit beast couldn't be fought carefreely and half of the contestants got wiped.

On the 40th floor, everyone faced a massive figure covered by black scales. They hissed in fright because the spirit beast before them was nearly 20,000 years old!

The cultivation age might only increase by 8,000 years, but this spirit beast is three times more dangerous.

The new Shrek Seven Devils frowned at the 40th Floor's Boss. It can be said this enemy is tricky to defeat.

"Bei Bei, this Tower of Babylon's Boss is troublesome." Tang Ya complained.

Bei Bei nodded, "Yeah. I don't know how the Dragon Nest got their hand on the extinct spirit beast like this."

"Glass Scale Beast. From the darker color of its scale, it should be around 25,000 years old or more..."

"To be honest, I'm not confident in winning."

"But we must try, right?" Xu Sanshi suddenly said.

"Yes." Bei Bei smiled slightly.

"Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, Jiang Nannan, can you control the Glass Scale Beast while the rest of us are charging for a super attack?"

"We can!" Xiao Xiao, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan responded firmly.

Bei Bei glanced at the boys, "Okay, hear me out. This is our battle plan."

"Wang Dong, you break the Glass Scale Beast's defense."

"Understood!" Wang Dong already summoned her Sky Clear Hammer.

"Sanshi, you finish Wang Dong's job and clear the path."

"Aye, aye!" Xu Sanshi grinned with Xuan Wu's shield on his arm.

"He Caitou, can your Spirit Guidance Tool release the might of a Spirit Spirit Sage, if not Spirit Empero?"

He Caitou pondered, "It can but we need to charge attack for a minimum of five minutes. Teacher Fan Yu only gave me one ammunition for it, so we couldn't use it anymore for the next floor..."

"It's fine. We will cross that bridge when we come to it." Bei Bei gave them a faint chuckle.

He breathed in and shouted, "Shrek Seven Devils, prepare to fight!"

...

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and his new team have already arrived at the 100th Floor. Yup, you heard that right, the 100th Floor!

The corner of Huo Yuhao's mouth couldn't help but twitch when seeing this unfair lineup.

"I alone could sweep the Tower of Babylon with team difficulty, so why did Yun'er tell you guys to come here?" He was dumbfounded.

"I'm bored!" Complained a busty pink-haired woman with fox-like traits. Yes, this person is none other than the Heavenly Nine-Tailed Fox, Yae.

"Yuhao-onii is not happy Kunou came to play?" Kunou shook Huo Yuhao's sleeve gently. Her innocent eyes caused Huo Yuhao to sigh in defeat.

Huo Yuhao glanced at the other three members, "I'm not really unhappy, but I don't think Tower of Babylon is challenging enough for the four of you."

"Especially Yuna, Yae, Kunou, and..."

"Ophis."

That's right the Auspicious Monarch, and Dragon God of Infinity also joined the preliminary.

"Hehe, like Yae said. We are bored." Huang Yuna giggled while still wearing her bread-themed pajamas.

"Bored, bored~!" Ophis hummed with Yeoui(Monkey King's Staff) in her hand. On the previous floor, she was beating the shit of 100,000 years spirit beasts with it.

Huo Yuhao shook his head helplessly and looked at the last team member, "I'm surprised you also came here little fox."

Huang Qiu'er blushed, "Teacher told me to come along. I didn't expect the training ground would be this tower."

"A bit chaotic, isn't it?" Qianye Ying'er looked at these girls and ladies.

"You can blame Huo Yuhao's charm for that." Scathach shrugged. "He's a chick magnet wherever he goes."

ROOOOOARRR!

A mighty roar echoed on the 100th Floor.

Huo Yuhao and others moved their gazes, staring at the gigantic azure serpentine body with a bull head floating in the sky. At the same time, thunderclouds and a red name also hovered near it.

[Sky Azure Bull Python]
