89: I let you break into the tower, but you use forbidden spells to attack?

Seeing the stone shimmering with seven-colored flowing light, Lin Ling’s eyes immediately flashed with surprise.

“holy light gem!”

He truly hadn't expected the holy light gem to be inside this Rainbow Clam.

Even more, he hadn't expected that a simple act of kindness would lead him to find the holy light gem.

【holy light gem】

【Special Item】

【A necessary material for the first stage upgrade of a specialized weapon.】

Lin Ling put away the holy light gem and then took out the other Rainbow Clams from his storage space.

But when he opened all the Rainbow Clams, he couldn't find a second holy light gem.

No wonder this item was so rare.

After bidding farewell to Alice, Lin Ling walked out of the Job Transfer Shrine.

Suddenly, a message popped up in front of him.

[Jiang Shan Yi: Lin Ling, I got the Guardian Army waist token, but you need to come in person.]

This message was sent through the War God Hall's internal communication directory, and Lin Ling immediately replied.

[Old Jiang, where should I go?]

[Jiang Shan Yi: You can directly pilot the phantom fighter, awaken the central intelligent brain, and have it fly to the Kyoto War God Hall base.]

Lin Ling walked out of the main hall and immediately took out the control center of the phantom fighter.

With his manipulation, the phantom fighter was instantly released from the central space.

Lin Ling entered the fighter, and as Jiang Shan Yi instructed, he awakened the central intelligence and gave a simple command, and the plane flew towards Kyoto on its own.

The floor of the plane, he didn't know what material it was, but standing inside, he could clearly see below.

At this moment, the phantom fighter flew over Xiao, and Lin Ling saw many people gathered outside the Xiao Teleportation Shrine.

No wonder the people from the Job Transfer Shrine were gone; it seemed something big was happening at the Teleportation Shrine.

However, in Lin Ling's opinion, these things had nothing to do with him; he just glanced and then withdrew his gaze.

About ten minutes later.

The phantom fighter carried Lin Ling to a helipad, where Jiang Shan Yi was already waiting.

“Old Jiang.”

Lin Ling walked out of the plane, smiling as he called out.

Jiang Shan Yi nodded and went straight to the point, “The Guardian Army waist token is a restricted item within the War God Hall, and even I cannot easily access it.”

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Ling's eyes, but he didn't interrupt; he knew that since Jiang Shan Yi had called him, there must be a solution.

Indeed.

“However, I have a way for you to get the waist token.

According to War God Hall regulations, all members who join the War God Hall have the opportunity to challenge the Trial Tower by expending points.

Each successful challenge earns a Guardian Army waist token, one for the first floor, two for the second, and so on.

However, according to regulations, you have not officially become a War God Hall member, so you naturally don't have points. I can use my authority to take you to challenge the tower.

But this is against the rules, so you cannot tell anyone about this. Can you do that?” Jiang Shan Yi said.

Lin Ling nodded solemnly, knowing he owed another favor.

“Old Jiang, is this tower challenge difficult?” Lin Ling asked.

The demon king was set to appear in a few hours, and he didn't want someone else to snatch the opportunity.

“The guards are very strong. Based on your strength, it will probably take about thirty minutes to clear one level. If you're lucky, you can get the number you need in three hours,” Jiang Shan Yi said.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a nine-story tower-shaped building.

Jiang Shan Yi: “I've moved all the guards away. Keep your voice down, don't let anyone find out.”

Lin Ling nodded.

Jiang Shan Yi stepped forward and, through iris recognition, immediately opened the door to the Trial Tower.

“Go in, I'll drink tea outside. You go in and challenge the tower, don't waste your attempts. You can learn a lot of things in there.”

Jiang Shan Yi took out a teapot and a reclining chair, then started drinking tea on his own.

Lin Ling didn't waste words and directly stepped inside.

【Challenger: Lin Ling】

【Starting trial, entering Trial Tower first floor, defeating the guard counts as a successful challenge.】

A voice sounded, and a figure immediately appeared opposite Lin Ling.

As soon as the person appeared, he rushed towards Lin Ling.

He raised his leg and aimed directly at Lin Ling's throat; a strong gust of wind hit him, and it was a killing move right from the start.

Bang!!!

The wolf tooth club swung.

That person was directly sent flying by a single blow.

【Challenge successful, reward: Great Wall Guardian Army Waist Token * 1】

【Rest countdown: 120''...119''...】

“Uh…”

Lin Ling was full of surprise. Was this what Old Jiang meant by “very strong”?

Lin Ling put away the waist token and turned to walk out of the Trial Tower.

Seeing him come out, Old Jiang immediately looked puzzled.

“Why are you out again?”

Lin Ling grinned, “I finished one round. There’s a rest period now.”

The flesh on Jiang Shan Yi's face trembled slightly, “You didn't just smash the guard to death with your big hammer, did you?”

Lin Ling immediately touched his nose, a bit embarrassed.

“My little ancestor, the main purpose of this guard is for learning, not for dueling. The combat techniques and fighting skills he employs are top-tier killing techniques,” Jiang Shan Yi said, raising a hand to cover his forehead.

Lin Ling was speechless. What would a mage like me learn from this? Is magic not good enough? Is the great hammer not good enough?

Seeing that the time was up, Lin Ling turned and entered again.

【Challenger: Lin Ling】

【Starting trial, entering Trial Tower second floor, defeating the guard counts as a successful challenge.】

【Challenger is forbidden from using hammer-type weapons.】

Lin Ling: “???”

Lin Ling listened to the last voice and couldn't help but feel speechless.

This was absolutely blatant targeting.

But before he could protest, two figures had already appeared in front of him.

The two rushed quickly, and Lin Ling instinctively reached for his great hammer, only to find it wouldn't budge.

Helpless, Lin Ling casually took out the Yaoguang Staff.

“Blazing Fireball!”

Boom…

The two figures were engulfed by fire before they even reached him.

【Challenge successful, reward: Great Wall Guardian Army Waist Token * 2】

【Rest countdown: 120''...119''...】

This time, Lin Ling didn't go out but chose to wait.

Soon, the countdown ended, and Lin Ling began the challenge again.

【Challenger: Lin Ling】

【Starting trial, entering Trial Tower third floor, defeating the guard counts as a successful challenge.】

【Forbidden from using hammer-type equipment, forbidden from using fire-element magic attacks.】

“Old Jiang, this Trial Tower isn't controlled by you, is it?”

Lin Ling yelled unhappily; this was too much of a scam.

A mage not allowed to use magic, what kind of logic was that?

However, there was no response.

Three figures appeared simultaneously.

They aimed directly at Lin Ling's upper, middle, and lower sections.

Lin Ling instinctively raised his hand to block, but his stomach was kicked in the upper section. The combat skills of these figures were clearly far superior to Lin Ling's.

Lin Ling only felt a great force coming from his body, and he was instantly sent flying back more than ten meters.

He clutched his stomach, knelt on one knee, and said fiercely, “Do you think disabling one fire-element magic can stop me? Want to hear a song? Tornado!”

『Oh, love comes too fast, just like a Tornado

『Can't escape the storm, no time to flee…』

A current of air instantly appeared around him, and that current grew larger and larger. Countless wind blades instantly submerged the three figures.

Let alone three figures, even thirty, three hundred, or three thousand figures would have no chance of survival in this chaotic flow of wind blades.

The wind blades raged, and black fissures, like spatial cracks, appeared in every corner.

At the same time, the Trial Tower system's voice sounded again.

【Challenge successful, reward: Great Wall Guardian Army Waist Token * 3】

Just as this prompt appeared, an ear-piercing alarm immediately cut through the sky.

【Beep beep beep…】

【Beep beep beep…】

【Energy fluctuation overload alarm!】

【Energy fluctuation overload alarm!】

【Trial Tower damage alarm!】

【Trial Tower damage alarm!】

Clang…

Outside the Trial Tower, the teapot in Jiang Shan Yi's hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

He opened his mouth in disbelief, his facial muscles trembling wildly, and his complexion gradually turned red.

“You brat! I told you to challenge the tower, and you used a Forbidden Spell to blast it?!”
