8: Continue the challenge?
Nezha landed steadily, even having enough energy to strike a pose.
However, the Fangtooth Orc didn't have such a good temper.
Seeing Nezha showing off right in front of him, the Fangtooth Orc charged directly, smashing a powerful punch down at Nezha.
"Bang!"
"Big guy, your strength isn't bad."
After Nezha extended his hand to catch the Fangtooth Orc's fist, he poked his head out and chuckled.
"But it's only 'not bad'."
Saying that, Nezha flicked his hand, sending the Fangtooth Orc stumbling back two steps.
The Fangtooth Orc rubbed his wrist, looking at Nezha with some surprise and uncertainty.
How could this shorty have so much strength?
With the Fangtooth Orc's height of over three meters, the roughly 1.6-meter tall Nezha indeed looked like a shorty in his eyes.
Not to mention the difference in their physiques.
The Fangtooth Orc, somewhat disbelieving, clasped his hands together and slammed them down fiercely.
However, it was still easily caught by Nezha.
"That's it? Did you eat?"
Nezha smiled, waving his fist: "If not, then take this punch!"
"Bang!"
A heavy punch landed on the Fangtooth Orc's lower abdomen, sending him directly backward.
After retreating two steps, the Fangtooth Orc, who stumbled and sat on the ground, hadn't completely dissipated Nezha's strength, sliding a distance backward on his backside.
Jiang Yuan stood protected by the Linglong Pagoda, watching this scene with a look of someone enjoying a show.
It seemed Nezha was even stronger than he had imagined.
Even without a weapon, he could overpower a strength-renowned alien like the Fangtooth Orc with pure physical might.
And from the looks of it, Nezha hadn't even used his full strength yet.
Although the Fangtooth Orc was only at the Star Epoch, a bit lower than Nezha.
But being able to reach the tenth floor of the Dream Tower was enough to prove his strength.
At the very least, he was among the strongest in the Star Epoch, with combat power not inferior to those in the Star Epoch Middle Stage.
Yet even so, the Fangtooth Orc's most proficient strength seemed somewhat vulnerable in front of Nezha.
"Roar!"
The Fangtooth Orc, having been knocked back, probably felt his pride had taken a hit.
Standing up, the Fangtooth Orc roared and charged at Nezha again.
But this time, his body glowed with a faint white light.
"Be careful, that's their racial skill, Skill: Strength Amplification, which can boost their strength!"
Seeing the Fangtooth Orc like this, Jiang Yuan quickly warned Nezha.
Although he couldn't fight due to his physical condition.
But he had always been at the top of his class during all those years of studying.
How could he not know the Fangtooth Orc's skills and their activation methods?
"Don't worry, he's the one who should be worried!"
Nezha smiled, charging towards the Fangtooth Orc instead of retreating.
"Boom!"
The two collided, fists and palms meeting, and Jiang Yuan could almost feel the air currents generated by their impact.
"It has indeed increased quite a bit!"
Nezha's body leaned back slightly, but that bored, unamused expression returned to his face.
"But if that's all there is..."
Nezha said, his body suddenly shaking, and two pairs of arms appeared simultaneously from his ribs and back.
"Then go to hell!"
Skill: [Three Heads Six Arms]!
Although the three heads didn't appear, the six arms did.
The appearance of the six arms made the Fangtooth Orc's pupils contract.
He tried to pull his fists back but found he couldn't.
After [Three Heads Six Arms] was activated, Nezha's strength would also increase significantly.
Although the exact amount was unknown, it was certainly more than the boost from [Skill: Strength Amplification].
Not to mention, Nezha now had six arms.
"Boring."
With [Three Heads Six Arms] activated, Nezha grabbed the Fangtooth Orc's fists with two hands, the two arms from his ribs fiercely pounded the Fangtooth Orc's fists, while the two arms from his back struck towards his head.
Under the immense power, the Fangtooth Orc couldn't hold on after just one round of attacks.
As the Fangtooth Orc's body fell backward, Nezha's face once again showed that unenthusiastic expression.
"Aren't there any stronger opponents?"
"Of course there are."
Jiang Yuan retrieved the Linglong Pagoda into his palm and nodded at Nezha.
"Don't be arrogant; next, you'll face opponents of similar strength to you."
"Now this is more interesting!"
Hearing Jiang Yuan say that, Nezha immediately became excited.
Jiang Yuan glanced at Nezha, didn't say much, but only reminded him: "There will be even stronger opponents later."
"Then I'm really looking forward to it."
Jiang Yuan smiled slightly: "I'm looking forward to it too, I hope you can help me pass the twentieth floor."
"Twentieth floor?"
Nezha stepped forward, stood on his tiptoes, and put his arm around Jiang Yuan's neck: "Mu Qianshan, are you looking down on me?"
"I, Nezha, declare here today!"
"Thirtieth floor!"
“No less than, at least the thirtieth floor, alright!”
"Okay, I believe you." Jiang Yuan chuckled, but still nodded in agreement.
"What do you mean, Mu Qianshan, you clearly don't believe me."
"I do believe you, but don't fail midway due to underestimating your opponents."
"How could I? I respect my opponents the most."
Facing Nezha's incessant chatter, Jiang Yuan could only shake his head helplessly.
Young masters from prominent families like Mu Qianshan had the best Skill Cards currently available and most suitable for them.
Yet he only reached the twenty-third floor.
Thirtieth floor?
With his current strength, he shouldn't even think about it.
After shaking his head, Jiang Yuan looked at the rewards in front of him.
There were three rewards: one was a Skill Card [Skill: Strength Amplification], another was a Material Card [Essence of Hard Stone], which could enhance a weapon's hardness and quality.
The last one was three lower-grade star spirit stones.
Jiang Yuan chose the lower-grade star spirit stones without any hesitation.
Although [Essence of Hard Stone] was also very good.
But Jiang Yuan was very clear-headed.
For him, the most important thing right now was Nezha's weapon.
Compared to a Material Card he couldn't use, it was better to choose star spirit stones.
At the very least, star spirit stones could be exchanged for the Material Cards he needed.
"So, shall we continue?"
"Of course, I'll definitely take you to the thirtieth floor today!"
Nezha's face was full of arrogance and excitement.
Jiang Yuan nodded, then pressed the red button.
The scene shifted!
...
...
"Why hasn't Jiang Yuan come out yet?"
At this moment, outside the Dream Tower, inside the Mission Center, Mu Qianshan, who had come out earlier, had been waiting for a while.
Many people had emerged from the Dream Tower during this time, but Jiang Yuan was not among them.
"Oh, are you waiting for Jiang Yuan?"
Suddenly, a voice appeared, making Mu Qianshan frown involuntarily.
"It's just that I didn't agree to you cheating, is it necessary to be so aggressive?"
Mu Qianshan turned his head, frowning as he looked at Ji Bin and asked.
"No, no, no, I just wanted to see how Jiang Yuan, a Star Epoch Middle Stage who couldn't even pass the first floor of the Dream Tower, had the guts to challenge it again."
Ji Bin laughed exaggeratedly, deliberately speaking loudly, causing many people around who were looking at missions to turn their attention.
"No way, a Star Epoch Middle Stage couldn't pass the first floor?"
"Seriously? My grandma wouldn't even fail the first floor."
"Hahaha, who knows, maybe it's someone's grandma's generation."
