Chapter 63: Re-entering Jianghuai Tower!
Chapter 63: Re-entering Jianghuai Tower!
Tuesday, March 22th, morning.
After finishing his two morning classes, Yun Che arrived at Jianghuai Tower.
The collision with the Abyssal Bone Dragon injured Kongkong, and he rested for a day to get himself into top condition before coming to challenge it.
Compared to the bustling atmosphere during the entrance exams, the area in front of Jianghuai Tower was undoubtedly much quieter at this moment.
However, it wasn't completely deserted.
Yun Che saw people coming in and coming out every now and then.
However, most of the entrances are for those in the mutation stage or the extraordinary stage. At the entrances for the lord stage and the high lord stage, there are almost no people to be seen.
Without much thought, Yun Che stepped into the entrance to the mutation period.
...
I returned to the empty room at Jianghuai Tower.
I don't know if it's the same place as last time.
[Yun Che, Class 2312, Beast Taming, Pet: Green Velvet Worm. His strength level has been detected as late-stage mutation. He has passed the sixth level. Would you like to continue to the seventh level or start over?]
Choosing to start over is usually done to shorten the challenge time and improve the score.
Yun Che did not make a choice immediately, but instead released the power of the Everlasting Rock and began to sense the Jianghuai Tower again.
"Hello?"
He called out tentatively, but received no response.
However, even the power of Tokiwa could sense some life force slowly gathering on the wall.
It was indeed "alive".
"Chirp~" Kong Kong jumped off his shoulder and landed on the ground, chirping in the empty room. The sound echoed in the room.
I, Kong Hansan, am back!
"Kongkong." Yun Che crouched down, gently patted the little guy's head, and removed the forced training device. "Dragon Dance!"
"Chirp! (`ε´)"
I'm coming!
Dragon-attribute energy surged, and the hollow heartbeat sounded particularly abrupt in this quiet place. As heat rose from his body, his aura rapidly increased.
Perhaps sensing the change in the void, Yun Che discovered, under the perception of the power of the eternal flame, that the life force on the wall was gathering at a faster rate.
Yun Che chuckled softly.
Jianghuai Tower doesn't stipulate that you can't stack status effects before attempting a challenge.
He even heard that some students from wealthy families would hire specialized craftsmen to create equipment for their pets, specifically targeting the equipment of their opponents in the levels.
However, we're not bad off even if we're empty-handed.
Carrying the Dragon Fang and Momentum Belt, one can attack or retreat, or gamble on luck.
"Again!"
"Chirp~!"
Three consecutive Dragon Dances directly brought Kongkong to its current peak!
"Continue the challenge! Level 7!"
The words fell.
ka ka ka-
The gate on the wall opened.
"唳——"
The Mechanical Eagle II flew directly out of the gate, its loud mechanical roar echoing throughout the room.
After their previous failure, the little guy and Yun Che had simulated this scene in their minds hundreds of times.
If they were worried before, they felt more confident after the battle with the Abyssal Bone Dragon.
Even if the Mechanical Eagle II is powerful, can it be more powerful than a low-level extraordinary Abyssal Bone Dragon?
...
"Second place! Cloud God has passed the seventh level and advanced to second place!"
After class, Sun Yifan was still looking for Yun Che, wanting to ask him about joining clubs. But when he took out his phone, he saw the changes in the rankings during the mutation period.
Upon hearing his call, the students who hadn't yet left the classroom either gathered around or immediately took out their phones and opened the school's official website.
"Holy crap! We actually beat level seven!"
"It's still a green velvet worm!"
"Is the Mosquitobug really that powerful? I'm even considering taming it as my second pet..."
Sun Yifan quickly grabbed his schoolbag and ran towards Jianghuai Tower.
The others, belatedly realizing what was happening, hurried towards Jianghuai Tower.
Meanwhile, other students on the official website also noticed these things and started posts.
...
at the same time.
Some school leaders and administrators received the news, some quickly and some slowly.
If the rankings during the mutation period weren't worth their attention, and passing the sixth level only piqued their interest, then passing the seventh level was enough to attract some people's attention.
School team office.
"Old Liu! Old Liu!"
Lu Zheng, one of the school team's instructors, knocked on the office door.
A while later.
A middle-aged man in his forties, with a stubble beard, messy hair, and reeking of alcohol, opened the door irritably, his eyes bloodshot and his tone quite aggressive.
But Lu Zheng was already used to his situation, so he squeezed in and went to his desk, which was piled with trash and aluminum cans, and turned on his computer.
Old Liu didn't care. He picked up a can, shook it, and found it was empty, so he tossed it aside. He searched several times before finally finding a can with some wine left, and took a sip.
"Why aren't you training this early in the morning? Why are you here playing on the computer?" Old Liu yawned and asked.
"Playing computer games?" Lu Zheng didn't even look at him. "Do you remember that freshman from the Beast Taming Class 2 that you asked me to visit last time?"
A freshman?
Old Liu sat at the table, thinking for a while before he remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
It seems that it was his student Lan Xiangya who mentioned it to him, and he then mentioned it to Lu Zheng.
"What's wrong with him?" Old Liu asked lazily, taking a sip of his drink.
"During the mutation period, he passed the seventh level!"
"Oh?" Old Liu raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "That is indeed quite interesting."
But it's only a little bit.
Ultimately, the mutation period is just a mutation period.
How many "geniuses" have they seen who shone brightly during the period of mutation but gradually faded into obscurity later on?
Some people even go so far as to excessively exploit the potential of their pets in order to achieve a certain ranking during the mutation period.
There are also some that are well-trained, but due to an unsuitable evolutionary path or simply not having a suitable evolutionary method, they gradually become ordinary pets.
Moreover, some truly promising pets may not be able to show their potential during the mutation stage.
Therefore, they don't usually pay much attention to the rankings of the mutation period; for them, the extraordinary level is just the beginning.
Do you really think everyone is a pervert like Jiang Yubai?
"Then what are you doing here? Watching a live stream? Oh... I forgot, you don't have permission," Old Liu teased.
Lu Zheng glared at him, annoyed. "Next time, you should really have Old Teng slip some drugs into your drink!"
"Old vines might not be able to poison me," Old Liu said with a hint of smugness.
"Do you know what the pet beast of this freshman named Yun Che is?"
"What?" After finishing his drink, Old Liu casually tossed the can aside and asked.
"A green velvet worm!"
"Um?"
Old Liu was slightly taken aback.
He then said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:
"A green velvet worm? That's interesting."
He had seen people raise powerful pets to a terrible state, but he had never seen anyone raise a pet like the Green Velvet Worm to be so powerful.
Not right either.
He had indeed met someone who had cultivated the spiny caterpillar, which was almost as famous as the green velvet caterpillar, to an exceptionally high level, but that person...
Regaining his composure, Old Liu stepped forward and slapped Lu Zheng's hand away. "Get away! Aren't you afraid of getting fined for using my computer?"
He logged into his account, opened the live stream of the Jianghuai Tower challenge he was currently playing, and muttered to himself, "The seventh level is over, maybe everyone has already quit."
Despite saying that, he quickly found Yun Che's challenge live stream.
At this moment, the gate to the eighth level opened.
The smile on Old Liu's face slowly faded, and his expression turned serious. He said in a deep voice:
"Old Liu, is this the mechanical creature in level eight?"
Lu Zheng was taken aback. "From what I remember... no, right?"
They didn't pay attention to the challenges during the mutation period, and besides, almost no one could get to the eighth level.
But as I recall, the mechanical being in the eighth level wasn't the one that walked out of the gate...
The two exchanged a glance.
They both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Will Jianghuai Tower temporarily replace its gatekeeper mechanical body?
Never heard of such a thing!
The battle begins.
Before the astonishment on Lu Zheng's face had faded, he suddenly stood up from his chair and pointed at the screen.
For the first time, Old Liu, who was standing to the side, also showed a look of astonishment.
Lu Zheng: "A dragon?"
Old Liu seemed to have instantly recovered from his previous hangover, and said in a deep voice:
"Not just dragons, but also silk-spitting skills at the pinnacle level!"
"Old Lu, this guy, Yun Che, our school team wants him!"
