84: Chapter 84 Trial Tower, Points Harvesting
The news of Gong Shuting being accepted as a Disciple by Vice Principal Ouyang Hai swept through Modu Martial Arts University like a hurricane.
"Did you hear? Vice Principal Ouyang accepted a Disciple! A One-Star Martial Artist!"
"A One-Star Martial Artist? Vice Principal Ouyang is a Peak Martial Saint! How could he accept a One-Star Martial Artist?"
"What do you know? That girl named Gong Shuting, she comprehended True Intent as a Three-Star Martial Master! This level of Comprehension Ability is unique throughout the entire Modu Martial Arts University!"
"Comprehending True Intent as a Three-Star Martial Master... No wonder Vice Principal Ouyang was moved."
"And just like Han Ming, she's also from Jiangbei. What kind of blessed land is Jiangbei? Why does it keep producing Prodigies?"
"Who's to say it isn't! Han Ming is ranked fourth, a One-Star Martial Ancestor, with third-level Wind and Thunder True Intent. Now another one, Gong Shuting, has popped up, accepted as a closed-door Disciple by the Vice Principal while only a Three-Star Martial Master. Jiangbei is going to defy the heavens!"
Discussions rose and fell, and Gong Shuting's name became a hot topic among the freshmen overnight.
In the dormitory Cultivate room, Han Ming sat cross-legged, the System notification sounds in his mind ringing one after another.
[Ding! Detected that host's Disciple Gong Shuting obtained the Heaven Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique "Taixu Scripture", synchronously feeding back to host Heaven Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique "Taixu Scripture"!]
[Ding! Detected that host's Disciple Gong Shuting obtained the Heaven Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill "Wind and Thunder Heaven-Suppressing Fist", synchronously feeding back to host Heaven Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill "Wind and Thunder Heaven-Suppressing Fist"!]
[Ding! Detected that host's Disciple Gong Shuting obtained the Heaven Rank Low Grade Martial Skill "Cloud Treading Step", synchronously feeding back to host Heaven Rank Low Grade Martial Skill "Cloud Treading Step"!]
[Ding! Detected that host's Disciple Gong Shuting obtained Sixth Grade blood qi pill × 100, Sixth Grade Spirit Origin Pill × 50, Sixth Rank Wind Attribute Spiritual Plant × 5, synchronously feeding back to host Sixth Grade blood qi pill × 100, Sixth Grade Spirit Origin Pill × 50, Sixth Rank Wind Attribute Spiritual Plant × 5!]
A series of notification sounds exploded in his mind, and the smile on the corners of Han Ming's mouth couldn't be suppressed no matter how hard he tried.
Heaven Rank Medium Grade Cultivation Technique, Heaven Rank Medium Grade Martial Skill, Heaven Rank Low Grade movement technique... and a large amount of Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Plants.
This wave from Gong Shuting sent him resources worth far more than a hundred billion?
Many large families in Modu probably don't even have Cultivation Techniques of this level!
Added to the feedback previously received from Lin Fan, Ye Yunfeng, and Li Xuewei, as well as the master-accepting gift given by Teacher Xue Muhan, the resources he currently has are enough for him to Cultivate until the Martial King realm.
"As expected of a Vice Principal who is a Peak Martial Saint, his generosity is extraordinary." Han Ming sighed, finishing the digestion of the insights for those Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.
The Heaven Rank Medium Grade "Taixu Scripture", although not as good as the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, is still a top-tier Cultivation Technique.
The Heaven Rank Medium Grade "Wind and Thunder Heaven-Suppressing Fist" has astonishing power. Although it is only at the entry level, coupled with his Wind and Thunder True Intent, his combat power has improved by more than just one notch.
The Heaven Rank Low Grade "Cloud Treading Step" is faster than the Water Shadow Step by more than just one level.
Cultivated to Perfection, even a Martial General can walk on clouds, and a Martial Emperor can even step a hundred miles in an instant.
Han Ming stood up and stretched his muscles and bones.
"Resources are here, Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills are here, the next step is to improve my cultivation."
Just as he was preparing to continue to Cultivate, another wave of System notifications arrived.
[Ding, detected that host's Disciple Lin Fan Breakthrough to Four-Star Great Martial Master, blood qi value + 100,000 points, synchronously feeding back to host blood qi value + 100,000 points!]
[Ding, detected that host's Disciple Li Xuewei Breakthrough to Three-Star Great Martial Master, blood qi value + 100,000 points, synchronously feeding back to host blood qi value + 100,000 points!]
"Boom!"
A muffled sound came from within Han Ming's body, and a large surge of blood qi force emerged from thin air, then quickly turned into streams of True Origin under the operation of the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture and gathered towards his Dantian.
Although it was a drop in the bucket for his water-tank-sized Dantian, Han Ming's aura became a bit more condensed.
Looking at Lin Fan and Li Xuewei's cultivation levels, Han Ming frowned slightly.
Under the condition of both cultivating the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, Li Xuewei's cultivation speed was obviously faster than Lin Fan, this Son of Luck.
However, Han Ming quickly stopped thinking about it. Although his Transmigration disrupted Lin Fan's rhythm, he was the Son of Luck after all and certainly had his own Opportunity.
He just needed to wait for the feedback.
He glanced at the ranking on his nameplate.
First place Nangong Li, second place Li Tianci, third place Gu Lingxi, and fourth was still himself.
There are still Nine Heavens left in the challenge tournament, he is not in a hurry to challenge the top three. It won't be too late to meet those three SSS-level Geniuses after he has practiced his newly acquired Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills until he is proficient.
"Let's go to the Trial Tower first." Han Ming put away his nameplate and walked out of the dormitory.
The Trial Tower, one of the landmark buildings of Modu Martial Arts University. It is ninety-nine stories high, pitch black, and the surface of the tower is covered with dense spiritual pattern Formation, emitting an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.
In the square in front of the tower, many students were coming and going, some with joyful expressions, some dejected.
Han Ming walked to the entrance, and a staff member responsible for registration looked up at him, then lowered his head to scan the list, his pupils suddenly contracting.
"You are Han Ming?" The staff member raised his head, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes." Han Ming nodded.
The staff member quickly stood up, his attitude becoming a bit more respectful: "Student Han Ming, do you know the rules of the Trial Tower?"
"I know some, tell me again."
The staff member nodded and said: "The Trial Tower is divided into ninety-nine levels. Each level cleared has a corresponding point reward. To challenge, you need at least the Martial Artist realm of strength."
"Points are automatically issued to the challenger's nameplate after passing each level, and repeating the challenge does not award points."
"Also remember, if you encounter a crisis while challenging, you can shout 'I give up' or 'End challenge', and the Trial Tower will teleport you out to avoid life-threatening danger."
"Understood, thank you!"
Han Ming nodded in thanks and strode into the Trial Tower.
The moment he stepped into the first floor, the surrounding scenery changed abruptly. In the gray space, ten First-Rank Peak Iron-Backed Wolves slowly condensed and leaped toward him.
An ordinary One-Star Martial Artist would be flustered.
Han Ming slapped out, and all the Iron-Backed Wolves turned into light spots and dissipated.
"First floor, passed."
There was 1 extra point on the nameplate.
Second floor, fifteen First-Rank Peak exotic beasts, one slap.
Two points were automatically added to the nameplate.
Third floor, twenty First-Rank Peak exotic beasts, one slap.
3 points were automatically added to the nameplate.
...
Tenth floor, one hundred First-Rank Peak exotic beasts rushed over at the same time. An ordinary Martial Master would have to spend some effort to pass.
Han Ming also slapped out, and the ten exotic beasts instantly turned into light spots and disappeared.
"Tenth floor, passed."
10 points were added to the nameplate.
"Does it increase by one point for every level passed? The eleventh floor should be more than that!"
Han Ming shook his head and continued upward. If it only increased by 1 point per level, then this so-called Trial Tower would lose its meaning for earning points.
Soon Han Ming arrived at the eleventh floor, five Second-Rank Peak exotic beasts quickly condensed and attacked Han Ming simultaneously.
Han Ming just waved his hand casually, and they instantly turned into light spots and disappeared.
[Ding, Trial-taker Han Ming, passed the eleventh level, reward 10 points!]
A sound echoed in the Trial Tower.
Han Ming ignored it and went straight to the twelfth level.
[Ding, Trial-taker Han Ming, passed the twelfth level, reward 20 points!]
"So, starting from the eleventh level, the reward for each level passed increases to 10 points."
"Then starting from the twentieth level, isn't it an increase of 100? Starting from the thirtieth level, is it an increase of 1000?"
Looking at the 20 points added to his identity nameplate, Han Ming said thoughtfully.
Han Ming swept all the way through, and soon passed the fiftieth level.
Sure enough, as he expected, from the twenty-first level to the thirtieth, every level passed increased by 100 points, and the thirty-first to fortieth levels increased by 1000 points.
From the forty-first to the fiftieth level, each Breakthrough increased by 10,000 points. His nameplate now had 611,105 points.
And by the fiftieth level, the strength of those exotic beasts had already reached the Martial Ancestor realm.
"I don't know if I can surpass them."
Han Ming continued to walk towards the fifty-first level, his eyes burning with intense Battle Intent.
