133: Chapter 133 The Fourth Floor of the Inheritance Tower, Back to the Northern Emperor!

Meanwhile, on Li Fan's side.

After hanging up the call,

Li Fan immediately submitted his leave request to his superiors.

The efficiency on the superior's side was also very fast; only a few minutes passed before Li Fan received the approval reply.

The base would arrange a dedicated aircraft for Li Fan tomorrow.

It must be said,

the service at the base was quite good.

After sorting out the leave matters,

Li Fan rested for a moment, then put on his helmet and entered the virtual network.

Upon entering the virtual network,

Li Fan went straight to the inheritance pagoda.

That's right.

He wanted to test how far he could get now.

He headed directly to the second level.

Facing the tide of beasts that had overwhelmed him last time, dealing with it now was extremely easy.

In a short while,

Li Fan reached the third level.

As soon as he stepped onto the third level, a chill swept over him. Looking up, the surroundings were filled with steep and bizarre glaciers.

"What needs to be done on this level?"

Li Fan looked around, his brow furrowing slightly.

After looking around, there wasn't a single ferocious beast, completely different from the first two levels. This truly left Li Fan somewhat bewildered.

Just as Li Fan was stunned,

the surrounding glaciers began to rumble and change.

Li Fan immediately retreated several hundred meters. When he looked up again, those glaciers had transformed into Glacier Giants.

"Hoo!"

The Glacier Giant opened its huge mouth, stirring up endless frost, instantly creating a terrifying gust of astral wind.

Li Fan dodged, but was ultimately a step too late.

However, relying on his formidable physical defense, Li Fan sustained no injuries.

But it had to be said, the power of that astral wind was truly terrifying. Even with his current defense, his skin ached after being hit by it.

Soon,

Li Fan counterattacked.

Activating the Wind-Treading Art, Li Fan moved like a phantom, easily dodging all the Glacier Giant's attacks.

Finally closing the distance to the giant, with a leaping flash strike, he unleashed the Star-Collapsing Fist, and the giant instantly shattered.

About half an hour passed.

All the Glacier Giants were smashed by Li Fan.

The gate leading to the fourth level then opened.

Looking at the gate to the fourth level, Li Fan deeply inhaled.

Although the third level wasn't overly strenuous, it was actually quite difficult. Without at least a mid-grade Saint Rank, it would likely be impossible to pass.

Judging by this difficulty,

the fourth level probably couldn't be passed.

But even if he couldn't pass,

Li Fan still wanted to see what the fourth level was like.

Soon,

he arrived at the fourth level.

As soon as he stepped in,

Li Fan saw endless lava ahead.

Not long after,

a massive Lava Giant leaped out of the magma, wielding a huge axe, and began crazily hacking down at Li Fan.

Li Fan moved swiftly, found the right moment, and leaped onto the giant's shoulder.

Boom!

He threw a punch, and the Lava Giant's head instantly exploded.

Li Fan originally thought it was over just like that.

But the next second, the Lava Giant's head regenerated back to its original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately after,

spikes began to emerge from the Lava Giant's body.

While shocked, Li Fan could only leap down to look for another opportunity.

However, Li Fan clearly hadn't expected that the giant, which was initially somewhat clumsy, had suddenly become incredibly agile, swinging its great axe like raindrops towards Li Fan.

Li Fan wasn't paying attention for a moment and was directly chopped in half.

He took off his helmet,

and Li Fan felt a lingering fear.

The aura of the Lava Giant was actually just that of a top-grade Saint Rank, not yet a Quasi-God.

But combined with its bizarre regenerative ability and sudden burst of combat speed, it proved extremely tricky.

According to Li Fan's estimation,

an ordinary top-grade Saint Rank would probably be killed by this Lava Giant in just a few moves.

But soon, Li Fan's emotions calmed down.

Although the Lava Giant was terrifying, at least he had a rough idea of the giant's strength level now.

So, passing the fourth level was still very hopeful; it was just a matter of time.

"If the fourth level requires at least top-grade Saint Rank strength, then the fifth level, wouldn't that require Quasi-God Rank?"

Li Fan suddenly thought of the subsequent fifth level, his brow furrowing slightly.

Quasi-God.

He was still quite a distance away from that level.

If the Dark Star could still be used, and he was given some time, it wouldn't take too long.

But the problem was, the Dark Star couldn't be used right now.

It could only be used after its energy was replenished.

Taking a deep breath, Li Fan didn't think about it anymore.

In the short term, it was unlikely he could reach the ninth level.

Before that, what needed more attention was the initial Civilization Assessment.

...

The next morning,

after saying goodbye to Di Yun and the others,

Li Fan boarded a plane heading for the Beidi.

At the Beidi Specially Recruited Student Villa Area now,

Lu Qilai and the others had already prepared ingredients early, awaiting Li Fan's arrival.

However, among the group,

Gu Ling's condition did not seem very good.

Her cousin, Gu Quan, noticed Gu Ling's expression and walked over to comfort her softly:

"It's fine. You don't need to worry about family matters. Uncle and Aunt will handle them."

"Li Fan is coming back soon. You can't possibly look miserable, can you?"

Hearing Gu Quan's words, Gu Ling nodded. Thinking that she would see Li Fan soon, she forced a faint smile onto her face.
