Chapter 655: Chapter 652: The Duel Begins_1
This made Yang Chen somewhat frustrated. Li Ruoxiang really didn’t show any mercy when speaking to him.
Of course, if possible, he really had no interest in the Trial Tower. It couldn’t be said that he had no interest, but rather his rationality was greater than his interest. The only interest he has in the Trial Tower is that it can enhance his current cultivation level.
Anyway, since there was a possibility of making a move, Yang Chen still had to prepare in advance. After bidding farewell to Li Ruoxiang, he went to the various Chambers of Commerce once again.
He took out a lot of Spirit Stones and bought many materials in hand.
These materials were naturally for making spirit talismans.
Although he had some inventory in his hands, the spirit talismans produced were enough to fight against enemies, but they obviously fell short for breaking into the Trial Tower, especially after the Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear turned into the Slaughter God Spear…
So, Yang Chen bought a lot of materials and returned to refine them using the Blazing Fire Spirit Brush.
Meanwhile, Huangsha City released a lot of news, seemingly deliberately wanting to invite more geniuses to participate in this Trial Tower competition.
Time passed quickly, and finally, ten days later, the Trial Tower competition officially began!
Yang Chen came to the Trial Tower in Huangsha City with the Green Lotus Sect.
When he arrived, the place was already overcrowded.
Since Huangsha City opened the Trial Tower today and there were no guards nearby, almost all martial artists in the Origin Martial Realm who could come had arrived. By counting the number of participants, there were as many as several hundred. No one knew what Huangsha City wanted to do by inviting so many martial artists all at once.
This made those high-level forces somewhat unhappy because there were so many loose cultivators, and it was a waste of time.
“They are just a bunch of small fishes; it doesn’t matter if they enter the Trial Tower.” A high-level force member said disdainfully.
Yang Chen glanced around and roughly divided the surrounding people into two types.
The first was the main city forces and sect forces, who were all aiming for the Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure.
The second were the loose cultivators attracted by the Trial Tower, with greater quantity but not a completely mismatched crowd. After all, they had to pay a top-grade spirit stone to enter.
Just like that, after waiting for about an hour, Mu Zhijiao, the person in charge of Huangsha City, finally came forward.
When Mu Zhijiao came out, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.
Mu Zhijiao led the high-level members of Huangsha City and said loudly to the crowd, “Thank you all for giving face to our Huangsha City and coming to participate in today’s Trial Tower competition. Everyone should know the rules. As long as you can win the first place in this Trial Tower competition, you will receive the Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure prepared by our Huangsha City!”
Hearing about the Mysterious Heavenly Spirit Treasure, many martial artists’ eyes lit up.
“So, I hope you all can spare no effort in the Trial Tower and do your best. After all, everyone has their understanding. Inside the Trial Tower, no matter what means you use, they are completely sealed from the outside world, so everyone can rest assured.” Mu Zhijiao said with a smile.
After that, he said a lot more irrelevant things.
Although these things seemed somewhat useful, Yang Chen always felt that Mu Zhijiao was emphasizing a certain point.
Emphasizing what?
Emphasizing that the Trial Tower is completely sealed, the people outside cannot see, and you can take out your trump cards without any scruples.
If it was mentioned only once, that would be fine, but Mu Zhijiao seemed to care about this issue a lot, repeating it several times. This made Yang Chen feel strange, wondering what conspiracy Mu Zhijiao and Huangsha City were hiding.
“Did I overthink it?” Yang Chen wondered, “Is Mu Zhijiao just kindly reminding us?”
He subconsciously still felt that Huangsha City couldn’t be that kind-hearted.
But those loose cultivators who had never entered the Trial Tower and had no experience didn’t think so.
“This Trial Tower is so amazing, completely sealed.”
“Since that’s the case, I can show off my skills.”
Everyone has some secret techniques they don’t use until a critical moment. This Trial Tower was a great place to stretch their legs.
Mu Zhijiao watched these loose cultivators discussing and felt very satisfied. This was the effect he wanted. According to He Guang and Fu Qingqing’s instructions, if the treasure holder wanted to make a name for himself in this Trial Tower, he would definitely choose to take out the treasure.
With that treasure, it would be no problem to reach the heart of the matter.
“The bait has been thrown, now let’s see if the fish will bite.” Mu Zhijiao muttered to himself.
After talking for a long time, he finally said, “Alright, I have said everything I needed to say. Everyone, according to the rules, we will draw loose cultivators to enter the Trial Tower first. When the loose cultivators are finished, the various forces will compete!”
“Humph!”
“What a waste of time!”
“What the hell is Huangsha City up to?”
The major forces were unhappy, and their displeasure showed on their faces.
Mu Zhijiao guessed that the big forces were unhappy, but he pretended not to know and coughed twice, leaving the task of drawing loose cultivators to the people below.
Soon someone drew a loose cultivator to break the barrier.
“You, yes, you, go in first.” The person who drew him pointed casually.
The loose cultivator who heard this was overjoyed, sprinted towards the Trial Tower, not knowing how happy he was.
“Never seen the world!”
“Tsk!”
These genius martial artists from the various forces spoke disdainfully.
Although they were somewhat arrogant, these loose cultivators were indeed inferior to the geniuses of the various forces. In addition to not having entered the Trial Tower before and lacking experience, this loose cultivator was kicked out in less than the time it takes for a cup of tea.
“First Floor, fail!” Mu Zhijiao slowly announced.
By the time they reached the Origin Martial Realm, they had to start from the twenty-first floor, so the twenty-first floor was the first floor for martial artists in the Origin Martial Realm.
“Hahaha, a loose cultivator is just a loose cultivator after all, such garbage! Failed on the first floor.”
“What a shameful thing to show off!”
Although these loose cultivators were angry in their hearts, they still didn’t dare to say anything.
Just like that, one after another loose cultivator came forward to challenge the Trial Tower, but their results were not optimistic. Entering the Trial Tower after the twentieth floor in the Origin Martial Realm was much more difficult than starting from the beginning in the Spirit Martial Realm.
Thus, many loose cultivators were stopped at the first, third, or second floor!
Yang Chen didn’t pay attention to these results, as they did not differ much from his conjecture. What caught his eye was the three young people who suddenly appeared beside Mu Zhijiao.
