79: Black Tower 10th Floor

Hou Wen hesitated slightly before investing fifty million chinese yuan into Li Changkong's gamble.

The gamble he participated in this time was based on the number of floors Li Changkong could clear.

The higher the number of floors cleared, the higher the odds of the gamble.

With the influx of such a large sum of money, there was also a prompt in the gambling interface.

"Fifty million in one go? This guy's really a tycoon!"

"Tycoon? I think he's an idiot! He actually believes that kid can reach the 15th floor."

"If that kid can reach the fifteenth floor, I'll eat this sword in my hand right now. No, I'll eat it even if he reaches the tenth floor."

...

Many people, upon seeing the prompt, naturally started to mock him.

Hou Wen didn't really care; fifty million was just his pocket money for half a month.

...

As soon as he stepped into the Black Tower, Li Changkong felt his vision go dark.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in a confined space.

He looked up and saw that the surroundings were covered in silver.

On this floor of the Black Tower, besides the distant stairs, the most striking thing was a Fire Wolf in front of him.

This Fire Wolf in front of him was just a normal Yao Beast of Rank 20, guarding the first floor of the Black Tower.

"Is that all?"

Li Changkong casually cast a Fireball Technique, instantly engulfing the Fire Wolf.

The Fire Wolf in front of him didn't even have time to launch an attack before it transformed into a white light.

Li Changkong didn't waste time and quickly moved to the second floor.

On the second floor, two Fire Wolves stood guard.

Li Changkong likewise didn't waste time, ending the battle with two Fireball Techniques.

On the third floor, it was replaced by a Rank 25 Lightning Serpent.

Lightning coiled around its body, and the moment Li Changkong appeared, a terrifying bolt of lightning struck down towards him.

But Li Changkong's magic resistance had already reached a level where he could ignore such attacks.

Winning consecutively, he quickly arrived at the fifth floor.

Li Changkong's time to clear four floors didn't even exceed one minute.

"How did this person enter the fifth floor so quickly? Is he cheating?"

"The fourth floor seems to be guarded by a Rank 15 boss. I tried before, and it was very difficult."

"This is just a newcomer. Am I seeing things?"

After Li Changkong reached the fifth floor, the onlookers outside began to discuss animatedly.

However, while they were surprised, it hadn't reached the point of shock.

Half a minute later, Li Changkong entered the sixth floor.

This time, his opponents were three Rank 30 Berserker Bears.

For ordinary Rank 30 professionals, these posed a certain level of difficulty.

But in his previous leveling quests, Li Changkong had killed at least several thousand Rank 30 monsters.

Originally, Li Changkong had some expectations for this Black Tower, thinking the difficulty wouldn't be low.

But up until this point, everything had been instantly killed by him.

Clearing the Black Tower also grants contribution points as rewards.

The first floor gives ten points, the second twenty, the third forty, and so on.

If he could reach the eighteenth floor, he would receive a reward of one hundred thousand contribution points.

In Li Changkong's opinion, if he could reach the eighteenth floor, he wouldn't lack contribution points for at least a while.

Of course, he also knew the difficulty of this endeavor.

Over so many years since its establishment, Shenhua University has had more than a dozen, if not hundreds, of unique professions appear.

Besides that, there were countless brilliant young talents.

Yet, not a single person had been able to defeat the guardian of the eighteenth floor, and not even one person had been able to set foot on the eighteenth floor.

However, there were still countless rumors that once one reached the eighteenth floor, there would be extremely generous rewards.

Li Changkong proceeded unimpeded, quickly arriving at the tenth floor.

On the tenth floor, a Rank 30 blue boss appeared. Against this boss, Li Changkong's offense was only slightly hindered; at least it wasn't an instant kill.

Now, outside the Black Tower, hundreds of students had already gathered.

Being able to enter the tenth floor was quite a rare occurrence.

And they also heard that the one who entered the tenth floor this time was a freshman from the university.

In fact, some of the newcomers present found this hard to believe.

After all, to be able to enter the tenth floor, one's Rank must have reached at least Rank 30.

The boss on this tenth floor was a Rank 30 blue boss.

If one's Rank was below 30, it would be impossible to deal with it.

Even if one's Rank had already reached 30, dealing with it would still be extremely difficult.

For a newcomer to reach Rank 20 was considered excellent, let alone Rank 30.

Li Changkong, inside the Black Tower, naturally didn't know about the discussions outside.

After entering the eleventh floor, a human-shaped boss surprisingly appeared.

This was a warrior completely covered in armor, with only a pair of blood-red eyes visible.

Upon seeing the enemy arrive, the warrior drew the longsword from his waist.

The longsword gleamed silver, and combined with the warrior's Aura, it was as if a swordsman from ancient times had emerged.

The armored warrior moved swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Li Changkong.

The longsword in his hand slashed down directly, clearly intending to instantly kill Li Changkong.

Just as the opponent's longsword was about to descend, Li Changkong's figure instantly vanished from his original spot, leaving only an afterimage.

At this moment, Li Changkong held nothing back, and a summoning array appeared.

Black Flame's massive body instantly blocked the space between Li Changkong and the boss.

And Little Zi, who was in the pet space, was also released by Li Changkong.

The human-shaped boss in front of him was clearly more skilled in combat experience.

Compared to those beast-shaped bosses, the threat to Li Changkong was also greater.

Li Changkong entered the Black Tower primarily to clear the levels, not to challenge himself.

Since he felt a sense of crisis, he naturally went all out.

After summoning the two beast pets, they rushed towards the opponent under Li Changkong's command, immediately beginning to restrain the warrior in front of them.

With the two beast pets providing restraint, the pressure on Li Changkong suddenly lessened.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Changkong quickly widened the distance between himself and the warrior.

After creating distance, he drew his Night Staff.

Countless small skills surged out from the Night Staff, striking the human-shaped boss like a rapid-fire barrage.

After a few days of cooperation, Li Changkong and his two beast pets had already achieved a preliminary understanding.

Facing the human-shaped boss in front of them, they didn't take long to completely resolve it.

"He's already entered the twelfth floor."

Outside the Black Tower, everyone watched wide-eyed as Li Changkong entered the twelfth floor.

At this moment, more and more students had arrived after hearing the news, and there were even some teachers from the university.
