CHAPTER 32: CHAPTER 32, WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THIS TERRIFYING 30 METERS ATTACK SWORD QI? _1

Wang Gang was excited. "I knew the boss was extraordinary! Your Sword Qi is also way too long; monsters don’t even have time to react before you kill them. No wonder you Level up so fast."

"Let’s go to the next floor," Jiang Chen said. "You guys don’t have to lift a finger; just leave the rest to me."

"Hehe... hanging out with the boss is just so cool."

The three entered the next floor.

After reaching the 10th floor, students started to come out from the Examination Tower one after another. Either their Level was not high enough, or they lacked equipment, so they could only enter ordinary academies, or even drop out of school and adventure in the wilderness.

「At the top.」

"Not bad, ten teams have reached the 15th floor."

"These students are good. Those who can reach the 15th floor have a chance to enter top-notch universities."

"These ten teams are very familiar; all are led by students with an S-grade Class."

"It seems Jiang Chen also reached the 15th floor. His speed was very slow in the first ten floors, but after the tenth floor, his speed suddenly increased. What’s going on?"

Weird. It used to take several minutes to climb to the next floor for the first ten floors. After entering the 10th floor, it became faster instead of slower.

The principals were all baffled. Such a speed was obviously not normal.

"Look, they’ve entered the 16th floor! They had just entered the 15th floor. Only thirty seconds have passed, and they entered the sixteenth floor."

"How did they kill the monsters in 30 seconds?"

"Could it be that the monsters are all dead?"

"Even if they were just walking to the next floor, that would take 30 seconds, right? Could it be they didn’t encounter any monsters?"

"Could the Examination Tower be empty?"

The President of the Xihai City Guild Alliance was also flabbergasted. He began to suspect that they hadn’t encountered any Demonic Beings on their way.

Wang Yao said, "I’m going to check the combat monitoring."

Wang Yao entered the monitoring room.

"Pull up the video of Tower of Trial number 084."

"Yes, President."

Wang Yao watched the video. There was no change in the first ten floors, where Wang Gang and Murong Xue took action. Above the 10th floor, however, there was a change.

Wang Yao focused on the video. He saw an incredible scene: Sword Qi reaching a terrifying 30 meters, instantly killing Demonic Beings from that distance.

As the President of the Xihai City Guild Alliance, he had seen many Classes, but never had he seen a Swordsman with Sword Qi extending 30 meters.

Could this person be one of The Fallen? Impossible. The Fallen cannot enter the Tower of Trial. Besides, this person clearly has a Badge; definitely not one of The Fallen.

Most likely a hidden class, maybe even a hidden SS-grade Class. It belonged to the category of Super Divine-level Class.

If it was a Super Divine-level Class, that would explain it. Angels and Dragon Knights are SS-grade Classes. However, above the SS-grade Class, there are Super Divine-level Classes, which are extremely rare.

Wang Yao smiled and said, "Who could have thought that a Super Divine-level Class would emerge in Xihai City? This is excellent! This individual will surely astonish everyone and might even have awakened a Talent."

Wang Yao watched the remaining fights. All ended in one sword strike. Monsters were killed instantly from thirty meters away, with terrifying Sword Qi range and Offensive Power. No wonder he could reach Level 20.

Wang Yao nodded. "Alright, turn off the video."

"Understood."

Wang Yao returned to the top of the tower.

"President, are they cheating?" someone asked.

Wang Yao retorted, "How could there be any cheating? They, like the other students, faced the same monsters. That Level 20 Swordsman belongs to a hidden class, not any lesser than an SS-grade Class."

Song Ji heaved a sigh of relief. With the President’s testimony, Jiang Chen wouldn’t have any significant problems.

「...」

In total, ten teams had reached the 15th floor or above.

All ten teams were incredibly strong, each led by a student with an S-grade Class. S-grade Classes possess powerful Skills, which are distinct and fundamentally different from those of ordinary Classes.

That is the strength of an S-grade Class.

Students who exited the Tower of Trial watched its every move, eager to know who would come out on top.

"They’re so strong; all have made it past the 15th floor."

"Of course! They are all S-grade Classes, and with teams led by S-grade Classes—some even by two or more—their powerful combinations are naturally very formidable."

"Above the 15th floor, with every increase in monster Level, their defensive power becomes incredibly high."

"Each floor has 10 monsters. There are too many; it’s absolutely impossible to defend against."

"That’s because our Classes aren’t good enough. The same equipment in the hands of different Classes makes a world of difference."

The students discussed among themselves, looking at the screen of the Tower of Trial.

From the 15th floor on, teams started to emerge from the Tower of Trial. They stood to one side, watching to see who could go further.

The number of teams began to decrease.

Even with S-grade Classes leading, they couldn’t withstand the Demonic Beings of the Tower of Trial.

A flash of white light.

Meng Zhenghao and Nangong Xue appeared outside.

"We did well this time, reaching the 18th floor. We might have a chance to get into a top academy."

"Boss Meng is really amazing! As a Light Summoner, he summoned five creatures to hold them off. If it weren’t for the high Level of the monsters, we couldn’t have held them back."

Meng Zhenghao looked at the Tower of Trial. "This is my limit. It’s a pity my Level is too low. If I were two Levels higher, reaching the 20th floor wouldn’t be a problem."

"An 18th-floor achievement is not bad."

Nangong Xue took out her phone and tried to call Murong Xue, but couldn’t get through. Could Murong Xue still be up there? she thought, secretly shocked.

Nangong Xue looked up at the Tower of Trial. The lowest anyone has reached so far is the 18th floor. Murong Xue was right; that Jiang Chen is really impressive.

"Who knows how many floors Murong Xue has cleared? Brother Meng wanted to invite her to team up, but she didn’t even appreciate the offer."

"Getting past 10 floors is somewhat acceptable. But to compare with Brother Meng? That’s simply impossible. She’s probably hiding somewhere crying right now!"

"Why would she team up with a Swordsman? What Offensive Power does a Swordsman have?"

"Let’s go, Brother Meng!"

Meng Zhenghao said, "I want to see how many floors they can clear."

A few of them stood to one side.

Soon, with a flicker of white light, two more teams emerged from the Tower of Trial.

"That’s S-grade Meng Haitao; they’re out too."

"Covered in scars, they must have tried hard. Still, they’re no match for SS Classes like Shangguan Yunqiu and Li Yunxi, who are still up there."

"SS-grade Classes are just too powerful."

"Something’s off. There are only three teams left up there. Aside from Li Yunxi and Shangguan Yunqiu, all the S-grade Classes are out. Who is the other team?"

"How do you know this so clearly?"

"I’ve investigated all the students, so of course, I know. I wonder who the other team is that can rival Shangguan Yunqiu and Li Yunxi."

At this point, three teams remained in the Tower of Trial.

All were stationed on the 20th floor.

Dragon Knight Li Yunxi, Angel Shangguan Yunqiu, and Jiang Chen. Initially, Jiang Chen didn’t make a move, letting Wang Gang take the lead.

For the first ten floors, their team was among the slowest. But after the 10th floor, Jiang Chen took action, killing the Demonic Beings and quickly catching up to Li Yunxi.

The 20th floor had monsters of the same type.

「...」

At that moment, Li Yunxi, seated on his dragon, unleashed a jet of Flames. The powerful fire burned the monsters, their HP continuously dropping.

Shangguan Yunqiu, I won’t lose to you, Li Yunxi sneered in his heart.

"Barrier Master, use Barriers to trap the Demonic Beings! Priest, grant me a Blessing! These monsters have a terrifying 10,000 HP; let’s whittle them down slowly."

「...」

Shangguan Yunqiu flapped her wings, flying high above the monsters, drawing their attention.

"Array Master, use Formations to trap the Demonic Beings! Shangguan Yunyan, use your Ice Attributes to freeze the monsters and reduce their HP!"

"Sister, these monsters are too high-Level and have some Resistance; we can only slow them down."

"No matter. Leave the killing to me."
