6: Samadhi True Fire

Stepping through the door felt like entering another world.

A world where only Jiang Yuan remained.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, looking at the empty white room.

Memories of his first entry here a few months ago surfaced.

He quickly learned how to begin the challenge.

Since he hadn't even cleared the first floor last time, he had to start again from the first floor.

As Jiang Yuan calmed his mind and pressed a red button on the platform in front of him, the white space began to transform.

Before long, Jiang Yuan was transported from the pure white space into a forest.

This was the first floor of the Dream Tower: Forest Wolves!

It was said that everyone's Dream Tower was different, but Jiang Yuan hadn't looked into it.

He only knew that the Forest Wolf in front of him in the forest could tear him to shreds within ten seconds.

“Nezha!”

Without the slightest hesitation, the moment the scene transformation ended, Nezha's card was materialized.

With the injection of Star Power, the Nezha card burst into light.

The next second, Nezha appeared before Jiang Yuan.

“Mu Qianshan, I’m here!”

Nezha's excited voice came, and he then began to look around.

“Tell me, who should I fight!”

“Roar!”

No sooner had Nezha finished speaking than a roar came from the forest.

“Looks like my opponent has arrived!”

Nezha didn't give Jiang Yuan a chance to speak; the moment he finished, he charged in the direction of the roar.

“Wait for me!”

Jiang Yuan quickly prepared to follow.

However, he soon realized it wasn't necessary.

Nezha strode into the forest, and before Jiang Yuan could even catch up, Nezha emerged, holding a Forest Wolf that stood taller than him.

“So weak.”

Nezha looked at the Forest Wolf in his hand with a hint of disdain, then tossed it to Jiang Yuan's feet.

Jiang Yuan looked at the wolf in front of him, feeling a bit helpless.

Could the Forest Wolf, which could tear him to shreds in ten seconds, last five seconds in Nezha's hands?

That even included the time it took Nezha to charge over.

According to relativity, how long would it take Nezha to finish him off?

Jiang Yuan didn't know, but after the Forest Wolf was defeated, the space reverted to its original white state.

“It’s still a bit awkward without a weapon; it’s been a long time since I’ve punched… err, fought bare-handed.”

Nezha said, scratching his head awkwardly, “By the way, when are you going to make a weapon for me?”

“Soon, after I earn some money, I’ll make you a weapon first.”

“Good!”

Nezha nodded, excited like a 1.6-meter-tall child.

Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, looked at the three items before him, feeling conflicted.

It wasn't that the items were too good; it was that all three rewards were useless.

Three white cards.

Material Card: Wild Wolf Fang

Skill Card: Copper Head (1/1)

Material Card: Wild Wolf Fur

The three cards were basically useless; their market value was generally between five hundred and one thousand.

The Skill Card was worth a bit more, but the two Material Cards weren't worth much.

However, this Skill Card wouldn't sell for much either, as it could only be used once.

Jiang Yuan sighed and ultimately chose the Skill Card.

An extra three hundred was three hundred, an extra five hundred was five hundred.

After reaching out and taking the Skill Card, Jiang Yuan pressed the red button again.

Compared to just now, there was now an additional blue button.

The blue button was for exiting the challenge.

Jiang Yuan wouldn't choose to exit now.

Not to mention Nezha was excited, even if he exited now, it would be meaningless.

“Shall we continue?”

“Of course.”

Nezha asked excitedly as the white space transformed again.

Jiang Yuan nodded confidently, although he didn't know what he would face on the second floor.

But he trusted Nezha.

And he trusted his own strength!

Soon the scene transformation was complete, changing from the forest to a desert landscape.

“Be careful, monsters in the desert might hide in the sand and ambush us.”

Jiang Yuan said, then materialized another card.

The Star Power consumed after using the Nezha card had recovered after clearing the previous floor.

Speaking of which, this seemed to be a bug in the Dream Tower.

After all, once Nezha was materialized, he basically didn't consume Star Power.

And after clearing each floor's challenge, his own Star Power would be restored.

This was something Beast Taming Cards couldn't compare to.

The Star Power consumed by using Beast Taming Cards was very little.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan felt a little happy.

If this was the case, then after his Linglong Pagoda was materialized, would his Star Power also be restored when he reached the next floor?

Although restoring Star Power wasn't very useful right now.

But later, when he had more cards, it would be extremely useful.

Jiang Yuan injected Star Power into the card, the card disappeared, and a golden seven-story miniature pagoda appeared in his hand.

“I always feel like this thing in your hand isn't very friendly to me.” Nezha said, frowning slightly as he looked at the small pagoda in Jiang Yuan's hand.

Jiang Yuan chuckled, of course it wasn't friendly; this thing was created specifically to deal with him.

“Relax, it’s just your imagination.”

But thoughts were thoughts; he certainly couldn't say it directly.

“I'll leave the rest to you. You know, my body isn't strong. If I get ambushed, we'll fail.”

“Leave it to me!”

Nezha patted his chest vigorously, and then Jiang Yuan directly activated the Linglong Pagoda.

The Linglong Pagoda floated from Jiang Yuan's hand to above his head.

Then, a misty golden halo, shaped like the Linglong Pagoda, enveloped Jiang Yuan.

Under the cover of the Linglong Pagoda, Jiang Yuan could see what was happening outside, but he couldn't move or attack.

(Attacking inside the pagoda would directly attack the Linglong Pagoda.)

Nezha looked at Jiang Yuan, who was covered by the golden, hazy pagoda, with some surprise. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly jumped as if bitten by a mosquito.

“Something bit me!”

Nezha gnashed his teeth; a red spot clearly appeared on his fair, shoeless jade… little foot.

“Sand Scorpion!”

Jiang Yuan saw Nezha had just stood up, and he happened to see the scorpion's tail retracting.

Nezha was furious and stomped his foot hard.

A powerful force was released into the sand.

Although it didn't spread too far because it was sandy ground, the Sand Scorpions within the range were shaken out.

Two were shaken out, and three more gradually crawled out of the sand, making a total of five Sand Scorpions.

Although they were all only Star Power initial-stage Strange Beast, Jiang Yuan was still a bit worried about Nezha.

After all, this was Nezha's first battle, he supposed.

He didn't see the Forest Wolf just now, so that didn't count.

“So it was you beasts?”

Nezha was so angry he laughed. He looked at the Sand Scorpions, who were raising their tails and approaching him, shouted, and then exhaled flames from his mouth.
