87: Chapter 87 Reward: A skill with super-tier potential

Celia was not good with words.

She only liked to wield swords and blades.

Bai Zhi snorted coldly.

"Anyone who dares to provoke our Young Master, regardless of your surname, will pay the price they deserve."

They knew who the young man surrounded by the others was.

Su Qingshan,

Young Master of the Su Family, one of the ten great families of the Xia Kingdom.

He possessed the Epic-tier class, Magic Swordsman.

He had great ambition.

After joining Star Academy, he formed the Qingshan Club.

He attracted many talented classmates.

He was a very ambitious person.

Before coming here, Celia and Bai Zhi had heard that someone was deliberately provoking Lu Yuan, wanting to give him a show of force.

Now that they had seen the mastermind, they naturally wouldn't be polite.

Although Celia and Bai Zhi were only two people, facing the dozen or so people opposite them,

they did not lose out in terms of momentum at all.

Especially the golden, holy aura rising from Celia, which was like a sun capable of sweeping away all darkness.

It made people afraid to look directly at her.

"Damn, is the Su Family being this tough this time? They actually dare to go head-to-head with someone from the Lu Family?"

"The old man of the Su Family has already fainted in the bathroom from crying."

"Heh, if I were Su Qingshan's father, I would have already pulled out my belt and be on my way here."

"Indeed, if I had given birth to such a rebellious son, I would definitely regret why I didn't slap him to death against the wall."

"Hahaha, hilarious."

"..."

Just then,

Lu Yuan's ranking started moving again.

Floor 21!

Floor 22!!

Floor 25!!!

In just a few minutes, Lu Yuan had gone straight from the twentieth floor to the 25th floor.

Such tower-climbing speed stunned everyone.

"No way, what kind of monster is this?"

"Holy crap, he's at floor 25."

"Is he really a freshman?"

"When I first challenged the Tower of Conquest, I failed at the fifth floor. It took me four years to barely reach the 20th floor, yet he, a freshman, broke through to the 25th floor on his first challenge. Have I lived my last few years in vain?"

He Yehua was stunned when she saw Lu Yuan had already rushed to the 25th floor.

"As expected of King Slime."

"King Slime, I'll be your fan for life."

While everyone was extremely excited,

on the leaderboard,

Lu Yuan's name suddenly turned gray.

"It's over."

...

Tower of Conquest, 25th Floor.

The Slime and Lu Yuan were both lying on the ground, stepped on by a tall, six-winged angel.

Hum~!

The next second, the bodies of the person and his pet disappeared, arriving in a dreamlike world.

"Master, this King has lost."

King Slime hugged Lu Yuan's thigh, wailing.

Lu Yuan rubbed King Slime's head.

"It's alright, losing is just losing."

"Losing to a Monarch Tier BOSS is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Besides, that was a level 55 BOSS."

Crossing 30 levels to solo a Monarch Tier BOSS was indeed quite difficult for King Slime.

And the most crucial thing was.

in the previous floors, the life-attribute magic crystals had all been used up.

By the 25th floor, King Slime had been drained dry, so losing was normal.

Hum~!

A white beam of light enveloped Lu Yuan and King Slime.

[Congratulations on reaching the 25th floor of the Tower of Conquest; you have received the blessing of the Tower of Conquest.]

[King Slime has successfully learned the skill: Ultimate Force]

Feeling that it had obtained a powerful skill, King Slime immediately wiped away its tears.

"This is... Master, I seem to have learned a new skill."

Lu Yuan nodded.

He opened King Slime's attribute panel.

"Holy crap?"

Seeing the description of the new skill, Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised.

How should he put it,

the effect was unexpectedly overpowered.

"I didn't expect the skill given by the Tower of Inheritance to be this overpowered?!"

"If I had known, I would have prepared more life-attribute magic crystals."

However,

Lu Yuan knew very well in his heart that,

with his and King Slime's current strength,

even if he prepared more life-attribute magic crystals, they probably still couldn't pass the 25th floor.

There was no help for it,

the level gap was too big.

And, the Tower of Conquest gave too much of a buff to the BOSS.

"Let's continue leveling up for now."

"Next time we come, I'll let you destroy him yourself."

Lu Yuan lifted King Slime by the scruff of its neck and placed it on his shoulder.

King Slime nodded heavily.

"King Slime will return!"

...

After news spread that Lu Yuan had reached the 25th floor on his first challenge to the Tower of Conquest,

Star Academy was in an uproar.

Not just students and teachers,

but even the school's major leaders were very excited.

In the conference room,

the white-haired Principal Kiran stood up excitedly.

He stared fixedly at the screen floating in the air in front of him.

On the screen, the challenge of the Tower of Conquest was being broadcast live.

"My god, this, this, this is a Slime?"

To the principal's left was Li Muyao; she gently placed her teacup on the table, a confident smile appearing on the corners of her lips.

"Of course."

"How is it, Principal Kiran? Our Little Yuan's strength is not bad, right?"

Principal Kiran nodded continuously.

"What do you mean 'not bad'?"

"This is simply monstrous, too monstrous."

"Having been the principal of Star Academy for so long, I have never seen such a monstrous student."

"A freshman, on the first day of school, climbed directly to the 25th floor of the Tower of Inheritance... it's too exaggerated."

Kiran suddenly took out his phone, activated a chat box, and began to type rapidly.

After a while,

Kiran's eyes gleamed as he shouted loudly: "Good news, good news."

"The War King is coming back."

"And, the War King said he wants to personally commend Lu Yuan at the freshman assembly."

Hearing the name of the War King,

Li Muyao nodded slightly, "That's not bad."

The War King,

was absolutely the most powerful existence in current human civilization.

No one could rival him.

Even during Lu Zhentian's peak, he was far from being a match for the War King.

This was something Lu Zhentian had once personally admitted.

However,

Li Muyao believed that the future belonged to Lu Yuan.

"What I am more curious about now is Cheng Niannian's identity."

"Besides her half-human bloodline, what exactly is special about her? To be able to make you all value her so much."

"Hmm..." Kiran's expression was slightly solemn.

"Her, the half-human bloodline in her originates from demons."

"In other words, theoretically, her bloodline could attract the prying eyes of demons."

Li Muyao slammed the table,

"You are pushing my son into a pit of fire!"
