175: Arabian Nights?

In the hall of the Tower of Babel.

After Senior Gao Yuanfeng finished introducing the situation of the Tower of Babel, Wang Chen's interest grew increasingly intense.

When entering the Tower of Babel for a challenge, the opponents encountered by the challenger are all professionals of the same Rank.

This holds considerable benefits for the challenger.

After all, for students like Wang Chen, the opponents or even enemies they usually encounter are mostly wild monsters, and not very intelligent ones at that.

Fighting these wild monsters, while capable of improving combat skills, offers limited room for growth.

It simply cannot compare to the speed of improvement when having other professionals as opponents.

Furthermore, in the Tower of Babel, every battle can be considered a life-or-death struggle, and the opponents encountered will never hold back.

Under these circumstances, the Tower of Babel can simply be called a Holy Land for honing combat skills.

"No wonder the school's Prodigy Ranking List is based on the rankings in the Tower of Babel, rather than results from Secret Realm dungeons."

Having figured out the situation of the Tower of Babel, a flash of realization rose in Wang Chen's heart.

The ultimate enemies of professionals are not wild monsters, but the myriad races of the heavens on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, whose intelligence and strength are not inferior to the Blue Star Human Race.

The Tower of Babel is the training ground prepared by Blazing Dragon University for students before they step onto the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

"It seems I will inevitably have to spend time Cultivating in the Tower of Babel in the future."

Thinking silently to himself, Wang Chen turned his head to glance at the entrance to the Tower of Babel in the hall, flames rising in his eyes.

"How about it? Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, do you want to enter the Tower of Babel and give it a try now?"

Seeing Wang Chen's expression, Gao Yuanfeng, who was standing to the side, asked with a smile.

"Of course!"

Hearing this, Wang Chen nodded and said in a polite tone:

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I would like to try and see how many floors I can clear in the Tower of Babel with my current strength!"

As his voice fell, a vigorous Battle Intent rose from his body.

Seeing this scene, a glimmer of brilliance couldn't help but flash in the eyes of Gao Yuanfeng and the others.

"With your strength, clearing the twenty-seventh floor should be no problem. It just depends on how far you can go in the fourth difficulty of the Tower of Babel. If you reach the thirtieth floor, Junior Apprentice-Brother, you will be able to enter the Prodigy Ranking List early today."

"Then we will wait here for your performance, Junior Apprentice-Brother!"

"..."

Gaolou and the others said with a smile, one after another cheering Wang Chen on.

Because the strength of the opponents in the Tower of Babel increases every nine floors, students, for the sake of convenience, divide the difficulty of the Tower of Babel into eleven levels, from low to high, corresponding to different floors.

The fourth difficulty corresponds to the twenty-eighth to the thirty-sixth floors.

Currently, the gatekeeper of the Prodigy Ranking List, a sophomore student, Gu Wenbo, who is at the third turn, level ninety-eight, has challenged up to this floor.

"Alright, then I will accept your kind words, Seniors."

Wang Chen responded with a smile and then walked directly toward the registration desk next to the entrance of the Tower of Babel.

After paying one hundred credits to the staff, he walked into the portal.

...

Meanwhile.

Seeing Wang Chen's figure disappear in the hall, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became lively.

"This kid actually really wants to challenge the Tower of Babel today?"

"How interesting. I wonder how many floors he can clear?"

"Based on the strength Wang Chen displayed at the National Freshman Competition, he might be able to pass the second difficulty and clear above the nineteenth floor."

"Nineteenth floor? Is he that much of a Prodigy? He has only been enrolled for a month, yet he is almost catching up to me after I've spent a year of hard Cultivating!"

"..."

There was much discussion in the hall, with many people guessing how many floors Wang Chen could clear in the Tower of Babel.

When they heard someone say that Wang Chen could clear above the nineteenth floor, the expressions on the faces of some sophomore students in the hall were filled with frustration.

They had studied at Blazing Dragon University for a year, and now they were only lingering in the third difficulty of the Tower of Babel.

Wang Chen had just enrolled for one month and could already reach their current level; he was simply a Prodigy!

At this rate of strength improvement, I am afraid it won't be long before this strongest freshman who just enrolled will surpass many of them, the sophomore students.

"Hehe!"

Suddenly, a disdainful laugh suppressed the noise in the hall.

"What are you all sighing about?"

Gao Yuanfeng swept his gaze across the hall with a playful look, his eyes lingering specifically on those sophomore students.

At this moment, he no longer had the gentle and refined appearance he showed in front of Wang Chen; instead, he was sharp and aggressive.

"Wang Chen is not like you trash! Still struggling in the third difficulty of the Tower of Babel after a year of enrollment!"

"Today, he will at least enter the fourth difficulty and clear above the twenty-eighth floor!"

Gao Yuanfeng said in an arrogant tone. As his voice fell, it even drew agreement from Gaolou, Chi Xiaoyu, and the others.

Being called trash yet again.

The sophomore students in the hall immediately showed looks of resentment on their faces, their eyes filled with extreme anger as they looked at Gao Yuanfeng.

Many of them were even preparing to speak up and retort fiercely.

However...

When they heard Gao Yuanfeng say that Wang Chen could enter the fourth difficulty of the Tower of Babel and clear above the twenty-eighth floor.

Their movements all stopped, and at the same time, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly went quiet.

Pfft!

After a moment, a sneer suddenly rang out in the hall.

"Senior High, aren't you bragging a bit too ridiculously?"

Zhao Wanqiu, a sophomore, said in a disdainful tone:

"Wang Chen entering the fourth difficulty of the Tower of Babel? That is simply a fantasy!"

"Even if he won the title of strongest freshman at the National Freshman Competition, he is still only at the second turn after all."

"In the third difficulty, the opponents encountered are already at the third turn, level ninety, and the fourth difficulty reaches the limit of the third turn, level one hundred..."

While speaking, Zhao Wanqiu paused, scanned the students in the hall, and then said decisively:

"Wang Chen is a second turn, level seventy; it is absolutely impossible for him to clear the fourth difficulty!"

As her voice fell, the atmosphere in the hall went quiet, silent enough to hear a pin drop.

Zhao Wanqiu's strength is among the top three of the sophomore students; she is at the third turn, level one hundred, ranked forty-fifth on the Prodigy Ranking List, and has currently reached the thirty-fourth floor of the Tower of Babel.

Her words carried considerable persuasiveness.

Soon, after a brief silence, many of the sophomore students in the hall began to agree one after another.

"That's right, that's right. No matter how strong Wang Chen is, he is currently just a freshman who just enrolled. For him to break into the fourth difficulty of the Tower of Babel is complete nonsense!"

"Senior High, don't joke around. I admit that Wang Chen has a lot of potential, but how could he compare to us who have been studying at Blazing Dragon University for a year at this stage?"

"Well said. For Wang Chen to enter the third difficulty and defeat opponents by crossing twenty levels is already considered shocking. Crossing thirty levels? It's simply impossible!"

"..."

A tide of discussion arose, and almost all the sophomore students looked at Gao Yuanfeng as if they were looking at a fool.
