101: Zhenjie Tower, the stage for the heroes of all races to compete for hegemony
"What is the Town Boundary Tower?"
When Han Lie first saw this news, he was slightly puzzled, but the world immediately gave him the answer.
First, on Wutong, which he often browsed, the new and unfamiliar phenomenon of the Town Boundary Tower forcefully broke through the big data, even pushing aside the trending topics.
It flooded the entire mobile network.
A casual scroll revealed:
Someone was explaining:
"Town Boundary Tower: As the name suggests, there's a saying in the myriad realms that this tower was once a hegemon in the Universe, used to suppress other realms. Later, the Universe hegemon suddenly disappeared, and the Town Boundary Tower lost its master, beginning to wander the Universe.
Existing powerhouses of the Myriad Realms want to capture the Town Boundary Tower, but they can't even mark it. This tower seems capable of traversing the river of history, seemingly outside the bounds of cause and effect, and appears to have the ability to vanish into chaos. In short, it is undoubtedly the number one spiritual treasure in the Universe!!!
Secondly, why does the Town Boundary Tower cause a sensation across the Myriad Realms every time it appears?
It's because the tower contains a large number of rare spiritual treasures and ancient inheritances from powerful predecessors. No one knows how many realms this tower once suppressed, only that all existing Universe races can find treasures recorded in their ancient secret manuals inside!
So it is the Town Boundary Tower!!!
And also the Myriad Treasure Tower!!!
Moreover, it is said that the Town Boundary Tower has nine levels. Those who pass all the trials and reach the top level can obtain the right to use the tower and the inheritance of the tower's master!!!"
This was from thePopular Science Party (science popularization faction).
There were also those who were purely there for the excitement:
"It's been a full 300 years since the Town Boundary Tower last appeared. I only heard about the grand spectacle in the Universe from my grandfather back then. Now my grandfather is probably a grandson himself!!
I never thought I'd see the Town Boundary Tower appear just as I'm about to die of old age!!
People always say: the Town Boundary Tower is a tower that changes destiny; everyone can enter it, and even a small gain can change one's entire life. But my grandfather always said that its essence is a tower of death!!
Who knows how many Universe prodigies, who would have had brilliant lives, fell in this tower at a young age!! But!!!
I just love watching the Universe of Myriad Races fight each other until their heads bleed, especially since this time it's right on our doorstep, hahaha. Those prodigies from the Universe of Myriad Races must have already arrived in their war chariots, right?
Fight, fight, fight!!!
It would be great if they all died here!!!"
There were also those filled with anticipation:
"I don't have the chance to participate in this Universe-wide spectacle, but to witness this scene in my lifetime, I must say, is also a kind of luck!!!
The Universe prodigies are coming.
I wonder if those legendary races are as mysterious as the books say, and I also wonder what position humanity holds among the Universe of Myriad Races. I'm so damn excited!!!"
Similar comments emerged endlessly.
Han Lie summarized it as:
A grand stage concerning the Universe of Myriad Races
was slowly beginning.
Now, the Universe of Myriad Races should all be on their way. The Town Boundary Tower should have certain entry requirements, though he didn't know what kind of restrictions. He also knew that by competing, one could obtain unimaginable resources and treasures, potentially changing one's life. These resources were so abundant that even the prodigies of the Universe of Myriad Races would fight tooth and nail, traveling vast distances to compete for them.
Moreover,
while it seemed like an opportunity to gain resources, it was actually a stage for the Universe of Myriad Races to compete.
That was all the information.
Wutong was Wutong after all; most of it was the perspective of ordinary people, and what they knew was simply the excitement of commoners watching a spectacle.
This Universe-wide spectacle,
they were an indispensable part of it, yet also the least important. It was likely that most people, commoners from other races in the Universe of Myriad Races,
were probably just as excited.
Han Lie shrugged. If this matter concerned him, he didn't really need to ask.
Someone would naturally...
Just as he was thinking, someone immediately sent him a message, followed by an urgent voice call.
As soon as he picked up!!
Cui Dazhi's frantic voice came through—
"Brother!!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!"
"I thought the grand storyline of our Universe expedition, where we would cut down prodigies from other races, would only happen in ten or twenty years! I never expected fate to give us such a great opportunity! Have you heard about the Town Boundary Tower? It's our stage!!"
"It's here!!!"
".........."
Han Lie listened carefully.
There wasn't a single piece of useful information.
So he chose to keep listening. At least from the excited tone, he could tell that low-level Martial Warriors like them should also have a chance to participate in this Town Boundary Tower event.
But he didn't expect
Cui Dazhi's next sentence to be directly—
"Brother!!"
"You probably don't know, do you?"
"Let me tell you what a Child of Destiny is. Do you know why there's a saying that reaching the top of the Town Boundary Tower means obtaining its inheritance? Because the Town Boundary Tower has a restriction!! Those below Martial Warrior Rank 3 cannot enter! And you, me!!"
"We are below Martial Warrior Rank 3!!"
"So, my brother, I have good reason to suspect that the reason the Town Boundary Tower hasn't been seen for hundreds of years, and now appears on Blue Star's doorstep, is for you and me!!!"
"It's waiting for us to grow up!!!"
".........."
Damn, don't say that this speech he gave...
was a bit fiery.
Han Lie shook his head, thinking that Cui Dazhi was perhaps a bit too overly enthusiastic. He was only First-Order. What did this have to do with him?
Could it be that,
the tower had appeared,
but it would only open a few years later?
So he asked, "When does this tower open?"
"Three months later!!"
Cui Dazhi confirmed.
"Ah, this..."
Han Lie was speechless for a moment. At Cui Dazhi's breakthrough speed, it would be good if he reached Second Order Martial Warrior in three months. If he entered the tower then, wouldn't he just be cannon fodder?
Even if you are a Martial Warrior Rank 3, according to common understanding, humans in the low-level Martial Warrior period simply cannot defeat those exceptionally talented races of the Myriad Races.
They would just be making up the numbers.
"Brother!!"
"Our grand era!!!"
"It's here!!"
Cui Dazhi's passion and excitement could be felt through the phone, and Han Lie couldn't help but feel excited himself.
Cui Dazhi might not have a chance!!
But I, I'm truly a perfect fit for this!!
Afterward,
Han Lie asked a couple more questions. He wanted to know what exactly was inside the Town Boundary Tower, how all the Universe of Myriad Races would compete after entering, and what known rare treasures could be obtained?
Cui Dazhi stammered,
then generously admitted:
"I don't know!"
"........."
Han Lie smiled helplessly.
True, according to the known information,
in the entire Martial Dao Year 983, humanity had only participated in such a Universe-wide event once, and it was possible that in these 1000 years, the Town Boundary Tower had only appeared a mere two times!
That truly was a bit lucky.
Han Lie was just thinking when
a large batch of messages arrived!!!
He opened them,
the sender of the message was
named the Shanghai Martial Arts University Principal—
"Han Lie!"
"Come see me at the Martial Arts Hall now!"
There were also several other messages,
all from teachers and classmates Han Lie knew.
They all said:
"Han Lie, the Principal is looking for you!!"
"The Principal is looking for you, he's probably thinking you have great potential, holy shit!!!"
"The Principal might want you to enter the Town Boundary Tower!! Probably going to start special training!!"
"I heard he also called a few other senior students, and you're the only one from our current year!!"
"Han Lie, hurry, hurry, hurry!!"
How did they know?
Han Lie was puzzled.
Little did he know,
the moment the Town Boundary Tower appeared, the Principal directly teleported back from the Star Realm battlefield, and upon entering the school, he urgently shouted:
"Han Lie!!"
"Go find Han Lie for me right now!!"
