155: Chapter 155 Entering the Tower!

"What is God Su doing? Does he not plan to wait until Rank 100 Great Perfection? Is he going to force his way into the Combat Tower now?"

"My god! He really went in; Su Chen has already activated the challenge mode!"

"How many floors do you think he can reach? Is there any chance he can overcome that mountain known as Senior Zhao Qingyue?"

"Hard to say."

"Normal people would wait for their Rank 100 second awakening and put on a full set of god-tier equipment before trying to climb the rankings."

"He's only Rank 92 right now; his attributes are lagging far behind."

"Indeed, back then, Senior Zhao Qingyue was at the Rank 100 threshold and had several pieces of legendary-grade equipment when she achieved that record."

"Moreover, large mounts are strictly forbidden inside the tower. Su Chen's greatest aid, the Dragon, has been Sealed. Breaking the record? It's too unlikely."

As Su Chen's figure disappeared into the light screen, the plaza outside the tower completely erupted.

In everyone's eyes, Su Chen's action was simply "extravagant."

Opportunities to challenge the Combat Tower are extremely precious; the Rank limit is between 50 and 100, and there is a six-month cooldown period.

This meant that with Su Chen's terrifying leveling speed, this challenge would likely be his swan song before reaching Rank 100.

Once he failed, it would be impossible for him to stall his Rank for half a year without advancing his class just to wait for the cooldown.

News of Su Chen entering the tower spread like wildfire, quickly sweeping through every chat group and even reaching the top of the academy forum's headlines in red.

In just a short while, a dense crowd gathered beneath the tower, and its scale was still growing exponentially.

Even those ninth awakening Grandmasters and demi-god level mentors, who were usually elusive, began to appear one after another.

In their eyes, Su Chen was a spark even more legendary than Zhao Qingyue. Everyone wanted to see if this young man could break the "Iron Law of the Sovereign" at the sixty-ninth floor and perhaps even catch a glimpse of the scenery beyond the seventieth.

In the crowd, Zhao Qingyue and Su Zichen cast aside their trivial matters and rushed to the scene with hurried expressions.

Their eyes met, both seeing the gravity and expectation in each other's gaze.

As some of the few who knew Su Chen had completed a five-star class advancement, they knew better than anyone that this youth's upper limit could not be measured by common logic.

Just then, Principal Lu Yuan landed hurriedly by the tower's base.

He had originally intended to go to the villa to "settle the score" with Su Chen, not expecting the kid to empty the treasury one moment and charge into the tower the next.

"I really shouldn't have told him so early..."

Lu Yuan rubbed his temples helplessly.

Perhaps the [God Slayer] class and SSS-grade talent gave Su Chen too much confidence, causing him to dive in without even doing any preparation.

Such recklessness, in Lu Yuan's view, would lead to suffering.

But on second thought, it was natural for a successful youth to be arrogant; facing a bit of a setback might not be a bad thing for him.

"Let's first see how far he can go."

"If he really fails here, at worst, I'll throw away my pride and beg those two old fellows from Daxia and Huaqing to spare a challenge slot for Su Chen." He calculated in his heart that, no matter what, he had to protect this future hope of Daxia.

Combat Tower, First Floor.

Su Chen felt a slight dizziness, and then his vision suddenly cleared.

From the outside, the tower occupied only a few hundred square meters, but the internal space utilized extreme spatial folding, creating an endless wilderness spanning nearly a hundred thousand meters.

On this crimson land, seventy or eighty small, red figures with fleshy wings were scattered about.

The tower trials of the three major academies each had a different focus: Daxia Academy faced the Void Realm, Huaqing Academy swept through the Zerg, and Tianchen Academy's opponents were demons from the Abyss.

[Monster]: Demon Imp

- Grade: Common

- Rank: Lv50

Description: A basic juvenile of the Abyssal plane, cruel in nature but meager in strength.

As the True Sight Eye swept over them, a hint of boredom flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

Too weak.

As a starting point, these fodder mobs around Rank 50 posed no threat; the only trouble was their scattered positions. Clearing them one by one would be outrageously inefficient.

"Hmm? I really can't summon."

Su Chen sensed it and found that the pet space was locked by a powerful Law fluctuation; Xiao Zi could not descend.

It seemed the Tower's Will intended to test the practitioner's own raw strength.

"So many rules... But you think this can bind my hands and feet?"

A playful curve appeared at the corner of Su Chen's mouth; since he wasn't allowed to summon pets, he would just change his method.

The next second, he raised his right hand, deathly aura swirling around his fingertips as the authority of the Undead Scourge was boldly activated!

Buzz—!!!

Within the silent tower space, necromantic power spread like ink. The ground trembled violently as ten Undead Gates, radiating a chilling nether aura, erupted from the earth.

"Roar!!!"

Accompanied by a Soul-shaking Dragon's roar, three majestic Bone Dragons—one legendary-grade and two epic-grade—were the first to soar out of the gates, their bone wings blotting out the sun.

Following them, Skeleton Archmages, Undead Commanders, Skeletal Giants... a tide of high-level undead swarmed in.

"Clear the field."

Su Chen casually dismissed the summoning gates.

He didn't call out his army of millions; he only released a few thousand BOSS-level units of the eighth and ninth awakening.

This kind of lineup, in the first few dozen floors of the tower, was simply a dimensional strike.

"Kill!"

At Su Chen's command, the undead legion scattered in all directions like the Grim Reaper's scythe.

Thunder rolled, and bone spikes crisscrossed.

In just a few breaths, those Demon Imps, who hadn't even reacted yet, were all annihilated.

[Ding! You have killed a Demon Imp, gaining 100,000 experience points.]

Under the Knight Order's 300% experience bonus, the gains from these low-level monsters were actually quite considerable.

Su Chen leaped onto the head of the legendary-grade Bone Dragon and sat cross-legged.

The Dragon took to the air, carrying him toward the already opened entrance to the second floor.

Second Floor, monster Rank adjusted to Lv52...

Third Floor...

Fifth Floor...

Su Chen didn't even stand up from the Dragon's head. Relying solely on this undead BOSS group, which was enough to sweep through a guild, his clearing speed was as fast as a low-altitude cruise inside the tower.
