Dragon Ball Tower, activate the Dragon Balls!

He worried these three young people were too young.

When facing high-level, or even top-tier equipment, it was very possible they wouldn't be able to handle it, lose their way, and do something out of line.

After all, he had lived two lives, so he needed to be more careful.

Thinking of this, he habitually reached into his pocket:

“Damn it! I forgot I don’t have any gum…”

After resting for twenty minutes, he quickly got up.

Then he started running, heading east at an extremely fast pace.

He had adjusted his strategy.

He decided to win early, sell his equipment early, and then enjoy a life of luxury.

After all, Xia Bingxue and Zhao Hao had already been focused down and eliminated.

He just didn't know if Tan Huan had been eliminated yet.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The competition was still ongoing.

Unbeknownst to them, it was already four in the afternoon.

More than half a day had passed since the competition began.

“Almost there!”

Li Xunle said, looking into the distance as he hurried along.

His speed was extremely fast; after all, he had put all his points into [Physique], so when he ran, his figure was as swift as a streak of light.

The closer he got to the east, the more fierce beasts and monsters he noticed appearing.

They would occasionally jump out and block his path.

These fierce beasts and monsters weren't very high-level, almost all of them were between level 20 and 60.

However, this posed no difficulty for Li Xunle whatsoever.

He believed that even a level 100 monster would still pose no threat to him.

After instantly killing several waves of monsters, he figured out a pattern.

These monsters were after the Dragon Balls in his hand.

A thought vaguely formed in his mind.

The dungeon quest was to activate the Seven Dragon Balls and guard them until the end.

He suspected that the guarding task wasn't to prevent other challengers from snatching the Seven Dragon Balls, but to prevent the monsters within this dungeon from snatching the Seven Dragon Balls… So, how many monsters would there be then?

The dungeon’s mission was clear: guard the Dragon Balls until the end.

But it didn't say successfully guard them until the end… Now that he thought about it, there was a hidden meaning in those words!

Did it mean no one could successfully guard them until the end?

With this question in his mind, he continued to sprint forward.

Finally, a tall white tower’s silhouette gradually appeared in his vision.

As he drew closer, the white tower became increasingly clear in Li Xunle's eyes.

It stood on the vast land, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.

The tower body was as white as jade, smooth as a mirror, as if carved from a massive piece of jade.

The tower soared into the clouds, piercing the sky, as if connected to heaven and earth. The golden disc on its top glittered in the sunlight, like a brilliant pearl, giving people a sense of sublimity and mystery.

Around the white tower was a vast grassland, covered with wild flowers of various colors: red, yellow, blue, purple… a riot of colors.

“This environment is quite nice!”

Li Xunle exclaimed as he sped along.

Soon, he excitedly arrived in front of the white tower, circled it, and carefully examined it.

The white tower had only one large entrance, about five or six meters high and three or four meters wide. The plaque above the Tower Door read four characters: Seven Dragon Ball Tower.

“So this is the place?”

Li Xunle, holding his staff in one hand and the clothes containing the Dragon Balls in the other, boldly walked through the entrance.

Upon entering, what immediately caught his eye were seven very conspicuous circular stone pillars, each one meter high. The top of each pillar was conical, and at its tip was a fist-sized groove.

Li Xunle carefully observed the groove; it perfectly matched the size of a Dragon Ball.

Clearly, these seven stone pillars were meant to hold the seven Dragon Balls.

He looked around and found a passage of text in the exact center of the tower floor.

“Attention: Once the Dragon Balls begin to be placed, the Seven Dragon Ball Tower will emit a Dragon Ball aura, causing all monsters in the dungeon to madly rush to snatch them. Furthermore, challengers outside the Seven Dragon Ball Tower will fall into an endless, mad pursuit by monsters. The more Dragon Balls placed, the crazier the monsters become!”

“…”

Upon reading this, Li Xunle suddenly felt a surge of schadenfreude.

“The more Dragon Balls placed? The crazier the monsters become?”

He held the four Dragon Balls in his hands, a strange smile on his face.

He seemed to have discovered something amusing. He walked to the white tower’s entrance and looked up at the sky.

150 / 18!

“So, besides me, there are still seventeen people?”

Li Xunle mumbled, stroking his chin.

His eyes spun continuously, as if he was contemplating something.

He chuckled and walked back into the Seven Dragon Ball Tower:

“Sorry, you guys are too slow. I’ll just let the monsters speed you up!”

After saying that, he took out a Dragon Ball and slowly placed it on one of the stone pillars… Buzz—

A powerful and vast aura emanated from the Seven Dragon Ball Tower, mysterious and ancient.

At this moment, all the monsters and fierce beasts in the dungeon went berserk. Monsters from every corner rapidly rushed towards the Seven Dragon Ball Tower.

And the monsters seemed endless, wave after wave.

At the same time, all surviving challengers received a message:

“Attention!!! A Dragon Ball has been placed in the Seven Dragon Ball Tower, and monsters are starting to riot. Please approach the Seven Dragon Ball Tower as soon as possible, or you will fall into an endless pursuit by monsters! Current number of Dragon Balls placed: 1. Reminder: The more Dragon Balls, the stronger the monsters!”

No sooner had this message ended than another arrived:

“Attention!!! A Dragon Ball has been placed in the Seven Dragon Ball Tower, and monsters are starting to riot. Please approach the Seven Dragon Ball Tower as soon as possible, or you will fall into an endless pursuit by monsters! Current number of Dragon Balls placed: 2. Reminder: The more Dragon Balls, the stronger the monsters!”

Then there were two more identical messages, the only difference being the number of Dragon Balls placed.

The last message indicated the number of Dragon Balls was — 4.

That is, four Dragon Balls!

Had already been placed in the Seven Dragon Ball Tower.

All challengers were bewildered. How could four Dragon Balls have been placed all at once?

It was too sudden! Completely caught off guard!

The most critical thing was that they would soon fall into an endless pursuit by monsters… This was forcing them to rush to the Seven Dragon Ball Tower, or face certain death.

Among them, the most surprised was Shadow Saint Assassin—Qin Wangchuan.

He had already seen the silhouette of the white tower and was very close to it.

But what surprised him was, who could have placed four Dragon Balls at once?

He only had 2 Dragon Balls himself!

With great confusion in his heart, he quickly rushed towards the Seven Dragon Ball Tower.

At the same time, he re-entered stealth mode.

But! He suddenly discovered that he wasn't invisible in stealth mode… Why?

His stealth invisibility wasn't working?

He suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately took out the two Dragon Balls from his character's inventory, throwing them aside.

Then, he found that he could become invisible again in stealth mode… “So, once a Dragon Ball is activated, other Dragon Balls are also affected!”

He hesitated, looking at the two Dragon Balls on the ground:

“Or, should I leave the Dragon Balls here for now and go see who’s in the tower?”

Just as he was hesitating about what to do, he saw an uninvited guest rapidly approaching—

Blade Saint, Xia Libai, Blade Saint!

His eyes darted, and a plan immediately came to mind.
