107: Stone Tablet Ranking

“The names recorded on this stone tablet should be the rankings of Nine Provinces Academy students who challenged the Tower of Babel, right?”

Su Yuan gazed at the gigantic, hundred-zhang tall stone tablet at the entrance of the Tower of Babel, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the rows of names.

On the stone tablet, names were densely packed.

From top to bottom, there were a thousand rows of names.

【First Place: Xue Zhengyi, Floors Conquered: Ninety-five.】

【Second Place: Gu Yufeng, Floors Conquered: Eighty.】

【Third Place: Gao Yi, Floors Conquered: Seventy-nine.】

…

【One Thousandth Place: Li Buwei, Floors Conquered: Fifty-nine.】

“The thousand people on the stone tablet are all Geniuses, but the gap between them is like heaven and earth.”

“Xue Zhengyi, in first place, conquered ninety-five floors, while the last person only managed fifty-nine floors.”

“The difference is a full thirty-six floors; isn't this gap a bit too large?”

“And the difference between first and second place is actually as high as 15 floors; the first-place Expert's strength is much greater than the subsequent Geniuses.”

Su Yuan glanced at the higher and lower ranked individuals on the stone tablet, unable to help but exclaim in a low voice.

“Su Yuan, you don't know, the Nine Provinces Academy's Tower of Babel ranking records the top one thousand people with the highest scores in challenging the Tower of Babel over the hundreds of years since the Nine Provinces Academy was established.”

“Almost everyone whose name is left on this stone tablet of the Tower of Babel is an SS-Grade Genius.”

“As for S-Grade Geniuses, there are only a few on the stone tablet, all possessing S-Grade Beast Taming Talent that has an extremely powerful amplifying effect on Mental Energy.”

“As for the first-place Expert on this stone tablet, the reason she can maintain such a significant lead over others is entirely because the Beast Taming Talent she possesses is a unique SSS-Grade Talent.”

“It is precisely because of this that she has been able to overpower everyone, maintaining the first-place record for challenging the Tower of Babel for hundreds of years, and no one has been able to break it to this day.”

“It is said that Lord Xue Zhengyi is already a Saint-level Peak Beastmaster, the strongest Expert in our Great Xia!”

Hearing Su Yuan's low murmur, Shangguan Yunqian, who was beside him, smiled and explained.

When speaking of Xue Zhengyi, her eyes shimmered, and her face was filled with admiration.

Clearly, she held Xue Zhengyi in great respect and admiration.

“So that's how it is. It's not surprising that the only SSS-Grade Talent Beastmaster in hundreds of years can maintain a 15-floor advantage over the second-place Expert.”

Hearing Shangguan Yunqian's explanation, Su Yuan nodded slightly and said in a low voice.

Huangfu Yunzhao on the side also nodded in sudden realization.

Such information about Saint-level Experts could only be known by top families like the Shangguan Family.

Before this, Su Yuan and Huangfu Yunzhao didn't even know who Xue Zhengyi was.

Let alone knowing that her Talent was the only SSS-Grade Talent in Great Xia for hundreds of years.

“Let's go. The Tower of Babel has opened now. Let's prepare and challenge it. I hope we can all leave our names on the stone tablet.”

Looking at the expressions of Su Yuan and Huangfu Yunzhao, Shangguan Yunqian smiled and said to them.

Then she prepared to head towards the entrance of the Tower of Babel.

“We can leave our names now?”

“Sister Yunqian, we are only Transcendent Level Beastmasters right now.”

“Even Nie Shaoming might not be able to leave his name on the stone tablet at this moment, right?”

“After all, those whose names are on the stone tablet are all top Geniuses from the Nine Provinces Academy over hundreds of years. When they challenged the Tower of Babel and left their names on the stone tablet, they were much stronger than us new students who have just entered the Nine Provinces Academy.”

Shangguan Yunqian's words made Huangfu Yunzhao speak with some lack of confidence.

“Actually, no.”

Hearing Huangfu Yunzhao's words, Shangguan Yunqian paused, but smiled and shook her head.

Then she patiently explained to Huangfu Yunzhao.

“The Nine Provinces Academy's Tower of Babel does not mean that the higher the Rank of the Beastmaster who enters it, the higher the number of floors they can reach.”

“Yunzhao, if you look closely at the detailed information of the Tower of Babel, you will find that the Tower of Babel only tests the strength of the Beastmaster themselves.”

“In this Tower of Babel, Beastmasters cannot summon their Beasts; they can only use the various Mental Energy Secret Arts they have learned to challenge the Tower of Babel.”

“The Tower of Babel truly tests the Beastmaster's Soul strength and Mental Energy Secret Art offensive and defensive methods at the same Rank.”

“Whether you are an Transcendent Level Beastmaster, a Commander-level Beastmaster, or a Lord-level Beastmaster.”

“In the Tower of Babel, the opponents you face at the start are all at the same Realm as you. Only by defeating the opponent materialized by the Tower of Babel can you enter the next floor.”

“In simple terms, it tests the magnitude of a Beastmaster's Mental Energy Battle Intent amplification at the same Rank.”

“And Beastmasters with higher Beast Taming Talent Ranks often have stronger Soul strength.”

“This is also why almost all the Experts who leave their names on the stone tablet are Beastmasters with SS-Grade Beast Taming Talent.”

“I've explained it this way; you should understand now, right?”

After speaking, Shangguan Yunqian looked at Huangfu Yunzhao with a slight smile and said.

“So that's how it is, I understand.”

Hearing this, Huangfu Yunzhao said with another sudden realization.

Even Su Yuan, who was on the side, couldn't help but nod.

Although he had learned a lot about the Tower of Babel in the past two days, knowing that challenging the Tower of Babel required strong Mental Energy and Soul strength.

He also knew that his Mythical-Grade Talent and his Soul strength as a Transmigrator would give him a great advantage in challenging the Tower of Babel.

But now, after hearing Shangguan Yunqian's detailed explanation, his understanding of the Tower of Babel was undoubtedly deeper.

“I wonder how many floors of the Tower of Babel I can conquer relying solely on Soul Arrow and Yellow Court Shield, two ordinary Mental Energy Secret Arts?”

“Can I leave my name on the stone tablet in one go?”

After Shangguan Yunqian finished speaking, Su Yuan's gaze fell on the Tower of Babel ahead, his eyes sparkling with Battle Intent rising.

Although Su Yuan was very confident in the strength of his Mental Energy and Soul, the only two Mental Energy-based offensive Secret Arts he had mastered were the most basic Soul Arrow.

This was the most basic Mental Energy offensive Secret Art taught for free nationwide.

Its power was definitely much weaker than the Mental Energy offensive Secret Arts taught by other major families to their Geniuses.

Even if the Yellow Court Shield was much stronger than Soul Arrow, it was still just a Mental Energy defensive Secret Art that would only catch the eye of ordinary Lord-level Experts.

Geniuses from top families like Shangguan Yunqian and Nie Shaoming would certainly not think much of Mental Energy Secret Arts like the Yellow Court Shield.

It was precisely because of this that Su Yuan was not too confident that he could leave his name in one attempt.

“Su Yuan, Yunzhao, if there are no other questions, I'll go in first.”

Seeing Geniuses like Nie Shaoming and Zhong Shiting enter the Tower of Babel, Shangguan Yunqian looked at Su Yuan and Huangfu Yunzhao and said.

“Alright.”

In response, Su Yuan and Huangfu Yunzhao nodded almost simultaneously.

Shangguan Yunqian also nodded to the two of them before walking forward and stepping into the Tower of Babel.

“Su Yuan, let's start challenging the Tower of Babel too.”

After seeing Shangguan Yunqian disappear into the entrance of the Tower of Babel, Huangfu Yunzhao turned to Su Yuan and said.

Su Yuan did not refuse, and the two walked forward side by side, entering the Tower of Babel together.
