Chapter 405: Climbing the Tower
"What's going on! Where is this!"
Suddenly, Wu Xun found himself moving from the street under the moonlight to a brightly lit meadow exuding an earthy smell. The hundreds of people who had just surrounded him also disappeared. The situation was extremely strange.
Just when he was thinking about whether he had encountered a powerful illusion from the Demon Sect, a disembodied voice sounded around him.
"The ten-level trial of the Holy Tower...every time you pass a level...there will be a reward..."
This voice made it impossible for him to tell whether it was a boy or a girl, his age, and he couldn't capture the location of the sound source, but it answered the question he had just had in his mind.
"Trial of the Holy Tower...Am I chosen by that tower? Am I in the tower now?"
He became a little more alert for a moment, and a faint golden light appeared all over his body. This was the characteristic of him operating the Wuji Golden Body Kung Fu with all his strength.
Just when he was wondering about the content of this holy tower trial, a tall and ferocious figure appeared out of thin air on the grass in front of him. It spread out its four legs and rushed towards him ferociously.
"Wolf? It's quite big. It might be a different species."
As an elite warrior and the chief disciple of the Wuji Sect, Wu Xun naturally had no reason to be afraid of a wolf. Even if the wolf looked very big and seemed to be a rumored alien species in the world, he had no fear.
When this ferocious beast jumped in front of him at an extraordinary speed, he who was standing steadily suddenly moved. He nimbly avoided the wolf kiss and sharp claws that suddenly came to him, and then waved his right fist wrapped in golden light fiercely. He hit the side of the wolf's head hard, causing the beast's head to be severely deformed in an instant, and its body was thrown out in the direction of his force, rolling continuously on the grass for more than ten meters.
"Ouch~"
Then, he heard the last groan of the giant wolf that rushed to the street. Under his gaze, it turned into little bits of light and disappeared, leaving only one item in place and a path leading upwards not far away. wooden ladder.
"This is……"
Curious, Wu Xun immediately walked over, bent down and picked up things on the grass.
"Hand clothes?"
He judged that this was probably a pair of clothes, that is, gloves, because it had the shape of an ordinary human hand, but the style was very different from what he had seen in his life, and it seemed to be made of special leather.
What's even more amazing is that when he fixed his eyes on these gloves, lines of text immediately appeared in front of his eyes.
[Sensitive hand guard (excellent)]
[When you wear these gloves, in addition to getting good hand protection, your agility attribute will also increase by two points. 】
"What a weird text..."
He looked at the words that appeared in front of him in confusion for a while, because their wording was very different from what he had learned since childhood. Although he knew every word and seemed to be able to understand them when they were put together, they gave him a very awkward feeling. a feeling of.
But at least he understood half of it, and roughly guessed that these words were descriptions of the items in his hands. This experience was quite novel to him, and he couldn't help but start wearing it.
Of course, his vigilance has not lowered. As a body-refining warrior who practices Wuji Golden Body Kung Fu, he maintains the golden light defense on his hands. If there is something wrong with these gloves, it will definitely not hurt him.
So within two seconds, someone who had just put on the sensitive gauntlet let out a slight exclamation:
"My body...has undergone some slight changes? Is it because of this gauntlet?"
He immediately raised his hands and looked at the exquisite leather gloves made of unknown material, and his heart was filled with surprise.
This is because as an elite warrior, he understands himself far better than ordinary people. Even the subtle changes in his blood cannot escape his induction. Therefore, when he found that his body suddenly became a little more sensitive, Can't help but feel very surprised.
You must know that this is the progress he has experienced during his current cultivation bottleneck period, and it is extremely precious.
Trying to take off his gloves again, he found that the sudden progress of his body disappeared instantly, completely confirming this fact.
"Humph, it's just a foreign object."
He immediately snorted and murmured to himself with a bit of contempt.
But his next behavior completely betrayed him. He put on the sensitive gauntlet again without hesitation, and no longer maintained the golden light defense on his palm, but instead wrapped the outside of the glove with golden light. He seemed to take this a little seriously. A harvest.
"Ten levels of trials... There will be rewards for each level you pass... I think I understand what's going on."
At this stage, he basically had a basic understanding of the pattern of the Holy Tower, and immediately walked towards the wooden ladder to the next floor with some vigilance and expectation.
A few seconds later, Wu Xun arrived at a large, slightly dimly lit room via a wooden ladder. In the room, three figures holding sickles, pitchforks and axes were waiting for him.
Judging from the shabby linen clothes worn by these three people, they looked very much like villagers from a mountain village in a remote place. They were full of menace and looked ferocious, making them more threatening than the giant wolf on the first floor.
"Come together! Kill him!"
When Wu Xun's figure approached the three men, the one holding the ax immediately roared, encouraging the other two to rush towards him.
But Wu Xun felt a little speechless when faced with this situation, because he could see at a glance that these three people had no cultivation level, and they were just like farmers.
This caused him to immediately stop all the golden light defenses running throughout his body, and chose to rely on his most basic force and physical strength to deal with it, without wasting any effort.
boom! boom! boom!
Three dull noises were heard in succession in this relatively spacious closed room.
If someone else was watching here, they would find that the three vicious villagers who had just rushed towards Wu Xun were all evaded by him with great agility, and then he used fast and accurate punches and kicks to deal with them all at once. They were all knocked to the wall and met their death without even a scream. It could be called a crushing blow.
But Wu Xun didn't care about this battle, which was not even a warm-up. He watched the bodies of the three vicious villagers turn into light dust and dissipate, and his eyes were fixed on a strange object that suddenly appeared on the ground.
[Healing Potion (Excellent)]
[Drink this potion, you will quickly heal the injuries below the severe level on your body, and it can also greatly relieve the severe injuries. The risk of death from injuries near death will be eliminated for a period of time. ]
"Is this medicine? It looks too strange."
After taking a closer look at the potion in the glass bottle with some curiosity, Wu Xun chose to put it in his pocket for future use.
Soon, he reached the upper level through the newly appeared ladder. This time, he finally encountered a group of enemies who looked decent.
They were three bandits lying in ambush in a forest. They were all wearing cloth armor and holding broadswords. Their ambush skills and timing of swordsmanship were quite methodical. They were obviously people who had practiced martial arts. Even if their cultivation was not high, they were not comparable to some mountain peasants.
But facing this group of enemies, Wu Xun still did not use his full strength to use the golden light to protect his body. He spent a little more than two seconds on the previous level to send all these enemies to the west, and he was still unscathed.
This time, what appeared in his eyes was a pair of wristbands, and the quality seemed to be better than before.
[Troll Wristbands (Rare)]
[After wearing this pair of wristbands, your strength attribute is increased by 4, and at the same time, there is an additional 20% probability of triggering a critical hit when attacking in close combat, and a critical hit will cause double damage. 】
"Critical hit? Double? Interesting..."
Even though he couldn't fully understand the meaning of the text description, he roughly understood that this might be an item that suited him very well, so he immediately put it on his arms.
In an instant, just like putting on gloves on the first floor, he felt that his body had undergone subtle changes again, becoming stronger and more powerful. In addition, he could vaguely feel that there was a violent power in his body ready to burst out, waiting for the opportunity to burst out.
He was very interested in experiencing this power and immediately chose to go to the next floor and met a new round of enemies.
It was a tall warrior who used a long sword. He stood on a wide stone square and stared at the newcomer with a very cold look.
Unlike the three bandits just now, this opponent gave Wu Xun a more powerful feeling as soon as they met. His intuition told him that the enemy's cultivation was not weak and he deserved to be taken seriously.
So Wu Xun's whole body was instantly covered by the protective golden light, and his figure flashed and rushed towards the enemy, launching the powerful offensive he had practiced for many years.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the first punch, he used his fist wrapped in golden light to meet the enemy's swiftly chopped sword, knocking him back half a foot, and the long sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.
In the second punch, he rushed to the opponent with explosive steps, wanting to kill him with a powerful blow, but he dodged and used his horizontal sword to block, and relied on the confrontation to pull a little distance.
In the third punch, Wu Xun approached again, first with a feint to force him to dodge, and then seized the opportunity of his movement to kick fiercely in the direction of his movement, successfully forcing the opponent to lose balance.
In the fourth punch, the enemy who could not dodge in time could only take Wu Xun's fierce punch. He wanted to use the sword to block again to get away, but Wu Xun happened to trigger the critical strike state, and the power of the punch increased sharply, directly causing the enemy's sword to break and his body to break, and a large dent appeared on his chest, which turned into a little light and disappeared without a trace.
"This arm guard is really something that cannot be underestimated! With it, my strength will be increased by at least 20%!"
For the first time, Wu Xun was shocked by the item he obtained. If the previous sensitive hand guard surprised him a little, this wrist guard with critical strike effect made him feel as if he had seen a special artifact.
Because the Wuji Jinshen Gong he practiced has always been more defensive than offensive, the critical strike effect added to these wrists can greatly improve this, allowing his explosive power to instantly increase to a level that the enemy cannot predict, catching the opponent off guard.
"The Magic... Holy Tower is really amazing, I must complete this trial well!"
Confirming that he had a huge gain, Wu Xun immediately looked forward to the next trial more, and he hurriedly checked the gains on this level.
[Wind Sword (Excellent)]
[This sword is very sharp, and every time you hit an enemy, you gain a layer of wind effect, which increases your sword swing attack speed by half. The wind can be stacked up to five layers, but if you don't hit the enemy in a short period of time, the effect will disappear completely. 】
"What a pity, it should be a good sword, but I'm not good at using swords."
Wu Xun thought about it and picked up the weapon, walked to the wooden ladder to the higher level.
After that, he fought all the way to the tenth floor, and obtained scrolls, armor, headscarves and even some fruits he had never seen before. These things were all excellent level, which had a certain effect on him but could not have the qualitative effect of the troll wristband. However, it also made him understand that the types of rewards in the holy tower were much richer than he imagined, and not every reward would be suitable for him.
Finally, he met the strongest enemy he had seen in this tower climbing on the tenth floor, a masked demon girl.
This woman practiced the extremely vicious demon claw skills, and her body movements were so fast that it was difficult for people to react. She was also cunning and her attacks were uncertain, so Wu Xun was always being pulled back and forth and beaten unilaterally in the early stage. Even if he tried his best, the battle process was still full of difficulties and dangers.
After fighting for half an hour, he finally wore out the power of this powerful enemy and seized the opportunity to kill him. He was so tired that he almost fell down. The golden light protecting his body had long been consumed, the armor he wore was completely scrapped, and his body that had been trained for many years was also seriously injured.
But Wu Xun did not reject this feeling at all. On the contrary, he enjoyed the exciting and real confrontation just now. It was an experience he had never had in his many years of practice.
"It would be great if I could fight such a strong enemy every day. In that case, my strength would surely improve rapidly... cough cough... I seem to be a little greedy. Today's battle is enough for me to digest for a long time..."
Wu Xun, who fell to the ground with wounds all over his body, immediately began to check the harvest of the last level and found that it was a silver ruby necklace, which was quite suitable for him.
[Bloodline Power (Rare)]
[When you wear this necklace, your strength, agility, and constitution will increase by four points each, and all speeds will be increased by an additional 10%. ]
Satisfied, he put this harvest on his neck, took out the healing potion he had obtained before, opened the lid and drank it, and witnessed his injuries completely recovered in a few seconds.
"The power of this medicine is not inferior to the secret medicine of my sect, Tianyuan Dan. The treasures in the holy tower are indeed real... Then is Tianzun also a real god?"
With some respect for this magical place, Wu Xun stepped into the light gate that appeared after he passed the level and left the holy tower.
After a while, in another world far away, Wang Zhifan also observed the scenes in the black tower and felt satisfied.
"The two disciples of Wuji Sect are really strong. They have defeated the enemy at the bottom of the level based on Mo Ji. Even if I have taken care of their rewards along the way, it is really good... I hope they can understand my good intentions and stop trying to make trouble."
