625: Level 100
Soon, Chen Xuan, cutting through opponents like hot knife through butter, rushed to the 100th floor with sparks and lightning.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, since a large number of people had already been eliminated, most of them were watching.
After all, they couldn't have come for nothing; since they were eliminated, they might as well watch who could reach the top and claim the final reward.
Once they knew who took the final reward, whether that person could keep it was another question mark.
“Hiss! As expected of Golden Immortal Yu Guili, he has been on the 100th floor for a long time, but I wonder if he can defeat the guardian of the 100th floor!” Someone gasped.
“Tsk, Golden Immortal Yu Guili is powerful, but this kid named Lin Feng, whom I've been observing, is the true dark horse! He usually keeps a low profile, but he unexpectedly made a splash in this Tower! The second to reach the 100th floor!”
“I think Fairy Long Qingwan is the most formidable! She was only one step slower than Lin Feng, and she is also a Golden Immortal!”
“Hey, hey, hey, look quickly, that Chen Xuan, who has been stuck on the 10th floor, has now actually reached the 100th floor!” Someone suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone followed the direction of that person's astonished finger, only to see Chen Xuan's name soaring on the challenger leaderboard, until he was on par with Yu Guili, Lin Feng, and Long Qingwan on the 100th floor.
In an instant, the crowd erupted.
“This Chen Xuan was really hiding his strength before; he was so slow on the first ten floors, I thought he was just someone without strength who didn't want to leave, but he turned out to be a great master!”
“Exactly, I wonder what methods he used, could he have taken some shortcut?” A high-pitched voice sounded, full of doubt.
“No matter what method he used, being able to reach the 100th floor in this Mystic Jade Tower is enough to prove that his strength should not be underestimated,” an old man stroked his beard and said with a solemn expression.
“That's right, reaching the 100th floor isn't just about having high cultivation; the further you go in this challenge, the harder it is to resist!”
“Sigh, hearing you all say that, I really want to see what the 100th floor is actually like!”
“No worries, I can tell you this: the opponent on the 100th floor is yourself!”
“!!!”
...
Inside the Mystic Jade Tower, Chen Xuan looked at the dummy identical to himself, a playful smile curling his lips.
“This is interesting, the classic surpassing-yourself plot from novels. That girl, the Tower Spirit, didn't even give me a heads-up, so I could think about how I'm going to fight myself!”
After looking at the “himself” in front of him for a while, Chen Xuan couldn't help but speak again:
“So handsome, if someone had weaker psychological fortitude, wouldn't they be stunned by my own handsome face?” As he spoke, he deliberately reached out and touched his own face, looking self-obsessed.
“But since I'm here, I might as well have some fun.” Chen Xuan stretched his limbs, and the Spiritual Qi around him began to surge slowly. He unhurriedly paced around the dummy, his eyes full of amusement.
“I usually don't get a chance to spar with myself. Today, I really need to see how capable I truly am.”
The dummy seemed to sense Chen Xuan's provocation and suddenly moved, attacking Chen Xuan with the same Move and the same Spiritual Qi fluctuations as Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan wasn't flustered; he easily dodged sideways and even joked with a smile, “Oh, you learn quite fast, but this little bit of skill isn't enough to impress me.” He lightly tapped his feet, his figure like lightning, instantly closing in and throwing a punch, the punch wind whistling.
The dummy also countered with a punch, and the two fists collided, making a dull sound. The powerful impact caused the surrounding air to vibrate. Chen Xuan used this impact to retreat a few steps, but a relaxed smile still hung on his face:
“Not bad, not bad, quite interesting, again!” With that, he quickly formed hand seals, and streaks of spiritual power runes condensed in his hands, then he pushed them out fiercely. The runes shot towards the dummy like meteors.
The dummy was not to be outdone, also unleashing rune techniques, colliding and exploding with Chen Xuan's runes in the air, light overflowing.
“This damn thing, they weren't even taught by the same master, so there's no breaking this Move. This is simply... Forget it, no breaking the Move!!”
Amidst the light of the runes and the impact of the explosions, Chen Xuan and the dummy exchanged blows, locked in fierce combat for a long time.
Although the dummy copied everything about Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan faintly felt himself gradually falling into a disadvantage. Just as he was pondering a way to break the situation, the dummy seized an opening, a sharp strike directly aimed at Chen Xuan's face.
“Damn it, I used to be the overpowered character, and I didn't feel anything, but now, I finally understand how disgusting an overpowered character can be!”
Chen Xuan narrowly dodged by turning sideways, but in that flash of lightning, vivid scenes from Earth suddenly flashed through his mind.
“You are very powerful, that's true, but unfortunately, I am an Earthling, you don't understand my mind!”
In an instant, Chen Xuan's Aura changed.
He took a deep breath, his legs slightly bent, and then, with a loud shout, he rapidly threw alternating punches, streams of spiritual power erupting from his fists, transforming into afterimages.
The dummy seemed to be caught off guard by this sudden, strange Move, and its otherwise fluid movements showed a slight hesitation.
It instinctively tried to imitate Chen Xuan's fist technique, but this attack method, not belonging to this world, made it impossible for it to perfectly replicate.
Chen Xuan seized this fleeting opportunity, concentrating spiritual power frantically in his hands, then fiercely pushing forward, forming a gigantic spiritual power palm that swept towards the dummy with an overwhelming Aura.
The dummy tried to resist, but was directly sent flying by this powerful force, crashing heavily against the Tower wall, causing the Tower itself to tremble.
The dummy slowly slid down, cracks appearing on its body, and its spiritual power also began to become chaotic.
Chen Xuan looked at the tottering dummy, a surge of heroic spirit rising in his heart.
“Taste this Move of mine!!” Chen Xuan shouted, taking a step, and his entire being shot towards the dummy like a cannonball.
His right fist carried surging immortal power, and just as it was about to strike the dummy, Chen Xuan violently shook his wrist, unleashing the condensed internal force through his fist.
This punch, seemingly unadorned, contained the power to destroy the world.
“Bang!”
