178: This is enough for me to brag about for the rest of my life!

"Holy crap!"

"Passing the ninth floor in under two minutes, Wang Chen's speed in clearing the levels must have broken the record, right?"

"I am already at Rank 90, Third Transition, but even if I were to start from the beginning, facing Rank 70 opponents, it wouldn't be possible to be this fast."

"At this speed, Wang Chen will likely trigger the response of the Tower of Babel, manifesting his combat projection from within the Tower of Babel!"

"..."

Inside the lobby of the Tower of Babel, voices filled with shock and uncertainty rang out. Everyone watched the nine patterns lighting up rapidly, their eyes filled with immense shock.

Amidst these discussions, the portal at the entrance of the Tower of Babel suddenly shone brightly, and a spark of spiritual light flew out from within.

The next second, this spiritual light suddenly expanded, transforming into a screen before everyone's eyes.

On the screen was the combat footage of Wang Chen on the tenth floor of the Tower of Babel.

"Damn!"

"It actually triggered the response of the Tower of Babel?"

"Wang Chen's current clearing speed has already broken the record. I wonder how many floors he can maintain this speed for?"

"..."

Seeing the screen appear, the sophomore and junior students present all showed astonishment in their eyes.

The Tower of Babel actively manifesting combat footage for everyone to watch is an honor that only challengers who enter the Tower of Babel for the first time and break the fastest clearing record of their predecessors can enjoy.

Since the establishment of the Tower of Babel hundreds of years ago, those who could actively trigger such an anomaly in the Tower of Babel can be counted on two hands.

The last time was Bai Ziting, who was known as the number one Prodigy of the century and rose like a rocket.

"This guy Wang Chen is truly remarkable!"

"When Senior Bai Ziting triggered the anomaly in the Tower of Babel, he was the same as Wang Chen, at the limit of Rank 70, Second Transition, and had not yet undergone the Third Transition."

"Wang Chen's current strength is already stronger than Senior Bai Ziting was at the same Rank!"

Watching Wang Chen easily resolve a Rank 80 opponent on the screen, Gao Yuanfeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Hearing his words, Chi Xiaoyu and Gaolou, who were by his side, both nodded.

"With this kid around, Blazing Dragon University is likely going to be lively for the next few years. We might even be able to replicate the grand occasion from when Senior Bai Ziting was here!"

"I remember that the first time Senior Bai Ziting entered the Tower of Babel, he fought his way to the fourth difficulty level with Rank 70 strength, only stopping at the thirty-sixth floor."

"Wang Chen might just be able to surpass him!"

Gaolou said with a complex tone.

Beside her, Chi Xiaoyu's eyes flared with Battle Intent at this moment, burning like flames.

"I must take the opportunity to fight him while he is still weak, otherwise there won't be a chance in the future."

Chi Xiaoyu licked her lips, her Face showing an eager expression.

Seeing her look like this, Gao Yuanfeng and the others pretended to be disgusted and distanced themselves from her.

"Chi Xiaoyu, you look so rough and burly, I didn't expect you to be so devious!"

Ma Wei, the girl among the five, said with a look of disgust.

However, upon hearing her words, Chi Xiaoyu showed not a shred of anger. Instead, she revealed an expression of being proud rather than ashamed.

"What do you know!"

"Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen has even greater talent than Senior Bai Ziting, and his rise is already unstoppable. I estimate it won't be long before his strength surpasses mine."

"If I find a chance to fight him now, I can still win. If I wait until later, I'll just get crushed by him!"

"Think about it..."

Chi Xiaoyu paused, a hint of cunning appearing on her honest-looking Face, and she said pretentiously:

"In the future, Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen will be invincible among his peers like Senior Bai Ziting, suppressing the Myriad Heavens Battlefield. If we go out and say that we defeated Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen when we were young, how much Face that would give us!"

"Holy cow!"

Hearing Chi Xiaoyu's words, Gao Yuanfeng and the others looked at each other, surprise appearing on their Faces.

"Among the few of us, when it comes to being devious, it has to be you, Xiaoyu!"

Gao Yuanfeng and the others sighed with emotion, their eyes flashing continuously as they became extremely interested in what Chi Xiaoyu said.

If they really did this, when Wang Chen became a top expert of the Dragon Kingdom...

This victory of theirs would be enough to brag about for a lifetime!

"Count me in!"

"I'm going too, I'm going too!"

In an instant, Gao Yuanfeng and the others unified their front.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

The other sophomore and junior students in the lobby were not as excited as Gao Yuanfeng and his group at this moment.

It could even be said that they were somewhat panicked right now!

In the screen footage projected in the lobby, Wang Chen was already slaughtering his way into the third difficulty level of the Tower of Babel, one punch at a time, having reached the twenty-third floor.

At this moment.

Wang Chen was facing Rank 90 opponents, and there were five of them.

Rank 90, Third Transition strength is already at an upper-middle level among sophomore students.

And with a quantity of five, even the junior students who had entered the Fourth Transition would have to go through some trouble to deal with them.

Yet in the combat footage, Wang Chen was still crushing these opponents.

Just listening...

Bang bang bang bang bang!!

Deafening collision sounds rang out continuously, and those opponents with Rank 90, Third Transition strength were resolved by Wang Chen one by one.

That effortless appearance left everyone in shock.

"Damn it!"

"It's already the twenty-fourth floor, and Wang Chen hasn't even used his pet yet!"

"Oh my goodness, he won't really be able to break into the fourth difficulty level, will he?"

"I'm going to lose big this time; the credits I saved up for an entire vacation are probably going to leave me."

For a moment, many veteran students in the lobby who had bet that Wang Chen wouldn't make it to the fourth difficulty level were wailing in their hearts.

Entering the twenty-fourth floor of the Tower of Babel, Wang Chen's pets, the Dragon and the Nine-tailed Fox, had not yet appeared.

It was very clear that Rank 90, Third Transition opponents were simply unable to make Wang Chen feel any pressure.

And...

Now, it was only four floors away from the twenty-eighth floor, the fourth difficulty level.

Even with one's butt, one could think and know that there was no doubt Wang Chen would step into the fourth difficulty level.

"It's over, it's over! Those five thousand credits were what I saved up by scrimping and saving for an entire semester; I'm going to be eating dirt from now on!"

"This time it's miserable; if I had known, I wouldn't have joined in the fun. I have to go to the mission center to work miserably again this semester!"

"Gao Yuanfeng, that bastard, he must have been in contact with Wang Chen long ago. This is a joint effort to treat us like leeks to be harvested!"

"..."

Many people in the lobby had expressions of immense heartache on their Faces, staring at Gao Yuanfeng with resentful eyes.

Credits are extremely valuable in Blazing Dragon University, and every single point is hard-earned.

Losing most of them all at once today was practically killing these veteran students.

Among these people, Sun Zongsheng and Zhao Wanqiu had the worst expressions.

The two of them had wagered the most points, and now it hurt so much that they felt their hearts twitching.

Moreover, besides the heartache, looking at that unstoppable figure in the combat footage, their eyes were also filled with immense shock.

Even if they didn't want to accept it in their hearts, looking at the patterns lighting up on the portal, they had to admit that Wang Chen's current strength had already surpassed theirs.

And amidst these resentful or heartache-filled gazes, Wang Chen swept through the third difficulty level, passing the twenty-seventh level with the force of a thunderbolt.
