Tower of Babylon's Purpose, and 100th Floor's Reward
🕑 Added 2024-04-14 19:47:33 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 274 ---
Outside the Tower of Babylon.
Everyone was quiet as their eyes locked on the holographic screens.
Their mouths are wide open, which could even fill up an entire egg.
The reason behind their dumbfounded is none other than a blue-haired lady in a tight battle suit. Even though the highlight of the fight was a little late, they could see her playing the Sky Azure Bull Python on her palm and injuring it with her golden spear.
She eventually threw her golden spear and blew the Sky Azure Bull Python's head up like a watermelon.
Hiss!
Everyone couldn't help but suck a cold breath.
Title Douluo Experts in the area cannot even fathom how such a young lady could kill a 100,000-year-old spirit beast that went extinct 10,000 years ago!
Her beautiful yet bloody appearance struck everyone's heart differently today.
As the holographic screen blackened and Huang Qiu'er disappeared from their vision, everyone finally could breathe again. The fight didn't last long, maybe only fifteen to thirty seconds at most.
Well, one thing is for sure today. Huang Qiu'er is going to be one of the unforgettable contestants for them.
"What, what was that?"
"How did that girl fight the infamous Sky Azure Bull Python and win??"
"That's a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. No, it was slightly older than recorded in old text."
"What team did that girl belong to? It must be the Dragon Nest, right? Because no other faction could cultivate such a monster..."
"Where else could people find Sky Azure Bull Python at that level? Let's be logical here."
"Logic doesn't exist when it comes to Peerless Genius like that girl."
Xuan Zi, Jian Bo, and some other teachers from the Shrek Academy frowned at the blackened screen.
They are questioning themselves right now.
Could the Shrek Academy produce such a monster?
The answer is yes, but actually no.
The Shrek Academy can also produce a monster like Huang Qiu'er by focusing resources and training from the most elite Title Douluos in the academy into one student.
The problem is that they couldn't do it.
Shrek Academy is still an academy for young, developing spirit masters at the end of the day.
They couldn't simply waste/sacrifice years' worth of resources and efforts for one student when they advocated for fairness in competition among young geniuses. That's just plain wrong.
Of course, they couldn't say the same for other factions.
There are more selfish and goal-driven people in this world.
Those people would do anything to fulfill their wildest dreams.
"Sometimes I wondered how an unknown faction like the Dragon Nest got their hands on resources like runestone, spirit bones, spirit beast's meat, blood, and other treasures..."
Several whispering thoughts silently echoed in the field.
"It's enviable beyond reason."
"Unfortunately, the Dragon Nest is strong."
If not, the Dragon Nest would have lost their precious gooses who could lay golden eggs upon stepping into the Douluo Continent.
Liu Mei snorted indifferently in the sky. Even without special powers, she guessed what these lowly people had in their minds.
'I wonder what their expression would be when other stronger girls show up and beat the rest of the floors.' Liu Mei interestingly thought.
From her observation, Liu Mei discovered that Huang Qiu'er was the 2nd weakest member of Huo Yuhao's current team. Of course, we are talking about raw power, not the ability to change the tide of destiny.
After all, besides that little fox and Huang Qiu'er, the rest of the members could turn the Tower of Babylon upside down.
"Hmm? The other teams finally reached the 50th Floor." Liu Mei yawned a little. "That's faster than I expected, maybe because this was team-based and the difficulty increase isn't that high."
The Tower of Babylon could be climbed alone, in pairs, or teams of sevens.
The multiple challengers translate to a higher multiplier of the boss's strength increase.
Having six more individuals on your side is the key to success when challenging the Tower of Babylon than being alone. Imagine how much combination, support, and control seven people could do against an enemy.
There are reasons why people like to gang up on a person.
Well, this only works when the enemy is still within logical reach.
Seven ants won't do anything against Sky Azure Bull Python.
...
Anyway, back to the Tower of Babylon.
After defeating the Sky Azure Bull Python, Huang Qiu'er fell to the ground and moaned like a girl on a wild ride.
Yes, you heard that right.
She moaned!
"Mmhhn~!"
On top of that, Huang Qiu'er also has this suggestive yet silly look on her face that makes Ophis and Kunou tilt their heads in confusion. The rest of the team weren't so innocent, though.
They could only shake their heads at Huang Qiu'er.
Huo Yuhao felt a slight heat in his groin. Of course, the evil thoughts only lasted a few moments because he wasn't a wild animal.
What happened to Huang Qiu'er right now can be considered the Tower of Babylon's intended feature.
Huo Yuhao created the Tower of Babylon to hone distant members of the Dragon Nest's branch.
Not only did the Tower of Babylon have built-in teleportation runes that grab selected spirit beasts from the Self-Evolving Dungeon, Advalon, but Advanced AI: Giana also placed them on their respective floors based on their strengths.
The Tower of Babylon absorbed the essence of spirit beasts killed inside by challengers and accumulated it. Then, Giana will assign these rewards based on the challengers' performance.
In fact, the reward is rich. One could receive many things from Runestone with rare spirit rings inside, spirit bones, bloodlines, advanced battlesuits, and many others.
Of course, there are requirements for such privilege.
First of all, one must be strong enough(mentally and physically).
Second, the rewards would only drop from the 100th Floor and above.
Last, one must have Spirit Circuits and master the Universal Breathing Technique in-depth.
Do you think Huo Yuhao would let others plunder his things? No, he is that generous.
'Let's forget about the last requirement for a second. The 100th Floor alone is out of their reach.' Huo Yuhao thought while watching Huang Qiu'er recover from her embarrassment.
Huang Qiu'er still has a red blush of shame on her charming face. She looked down and felt overflowing energy inside her body.
Yet this energy is only a drop in a vast ocean. The Tower of Babylon still has more, and she couldn't wait for more rewards.
"Congratulations~!" Giana's holographic avatar appeared in the air.
"Your team is the first to defeat the Tower of Babylon's 100th Floor."
"Calculating contribution and biometrics."
"Contestant: Huang Qiu'er has 100% contribution and can choose one of three rewards."
1x Two Spirit Ranks' worth of Spirit Essence.
1x Random Red Runestone.
1x Random Spirit Beast's bloodline.
"Please choose." Giana displayed the option to
"Choose the first reward." Before Huang Qiu'er could ask, Huang Yuna suggested the chosen reward first.
"I... Okay." Huang Qiu'er knew her teacher wouldn't give useless suggestions.
Red Runestones are like pebbles inside the Dragon Nest's warehouse as they gather into mountains. Huang Qiu'er could ask for them for free with Huang Yuna's access permission.
As for the Spirit Beast's Bloodline, Huang Qiu'er is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious species. She possessed a noble bloodline already. Why would she soil it?
And we haven't included Golden Dragon's Blood and Huo Yuhao's Blood inside her.
After choosing the first reward, Huang Qiu'er felt a rich essence, different from before, invading her body. The energy twisted and turned her body before letting her cultivation base advance to level 61.
Six spirit rings materialized around Huang Qiu'er, and they are not your ordinary spirit rings.
They are rose gold in color!
These spirit rings were materialized by her powers alone. Yes, materializing spirit rings is the innate ability of Spirit Beast who transformed into a human.
For the first time, Huang Qiu'er also showcased her martial soul.
Surprisingly, there are two of them.
A burly golden-scaled dragon stood on her left.
And a frying pan hovered above her right hand.
Wait, a FRYING PAN??
