My Tower! (Two-in-One)

"Ah..."

A scream rang out from the Martial Arts Training Ground of the Miao Water Palace.

Murong Qin, who had accidentally glanced to the side, shouted and then covered her eyes tightly with both hands.

At that moment, the girl felt that she would never get married in her life.

However, Jiang Lin remained extremely calm.

Although it's broad daylight, walking your bird in the sun is very inappropriate.

But this wasn't what I intended.

He had categorized and stored his blue robe and daily necessities in the One Ring; this was the only set of clothes he owned.

If it weren't for the fact that these very modern boxer shorts were of extremely high quality, Jiang Lin would probably be naked right now.

However, I must say, the quality of the underpants my master made for me is surprisingly good.

All the other clothes were ruined beyond recognition, but his own underwear remained brand new.

I suspect the master used some extraordinary materials.

But where do these extremely high-grade materials come from? It's said that Twin Pearl Peak is very poor.

Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.

Jiang Lin, now dressed in his underwear, stood beside Murong Qin.

Although he had been completely seen through by the young girl Murong Qin, it was alright; Jiang Lin didn't consider himself the type to be bothered by trivial matters.

To be honest, if Jiang Lin hadn't insisted on taking the attack at his own Martial Warrior Realm, Jiang Lin wouldn't have needed the Resurrection Coin.

"Kid! Don't be so arrogant! Get up!"

On the other side, although he didn't know how Jiang Lin had been resurrected, the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace still managed to calm himself down!

That kid must have used some kind of escape technique or magic weapon!

However, such a magic weapon is limited, and I don't believe Jiang Lin can escape a second time!

The Exquisite Black Pagoda rose again, looming over Murong Qin, who was only wearing a pair of underwear, still covering her eyes, feeling that she would never get married in her life, and whose eyes were filled with Barrett's words!

A strong wind blew, blowing Murong Qin aside. In the eyes of this Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace, the girl was still to be enjoyed by him, so naturally he couldn't kill her.

The Exquisite Black Pagoda once again enveloped Jiang Lin!

At this moment, Murong Qin forgot her shyness, lowered her hands from her blushing face, which was as red as a strawberry dripping with juice, and looked nervously at Jiang Lin.

Actually, when Jiang Lin was first trapped in this black tower, Jiang Lin was quite confused.

After punching it several times, they discovered that this black tower was exceptionally hard.

The material is quite unusual.

However, Jiang Lin still refused to believe in fate and did not open his Spiritual Apertures, forcibly hammering it with his Martial Warrior Fourth Realm skills.

But gradually, Jiang Lin discovered that this black tower was actually home to many wronged souls.

The wronged souls imprisoned by the Black Tower began to erode Jiang Lin's sanity, and the Black Tower even attempted to refine Jiang Lin's flesh and blood.

From the inside out, from top to bottom, Jiang Lin felt his Martial Warrior Physique gradually disintegrating.

That's getting interesting.

If Jiang Lin were to unlock his Spiritual Apertures and use a sword, then there would be no problem.

Jiang Lin was confident that he could break through such a powerful magical artifact with a single sword strike.

But Jiang Lin didn't want to do that...

This somewhat strange tower is perfect for tempering one's Martial Warrior Physique, especially one's soul.

Moreover, Jiang Lin also needs his Martial Warrior Physique to be tempered; otherwise, how will he go to Ten Thousand Mile City to challenge the boxing masters?

So Jiang Lin decided to court death.

So even if a person were to die, he had no intention of opening his Spiritual Apertures to use the Flying Sword.

Jiang Lin wanted to see just how hard his fists were now, and where the limits of his Martial Warrior Realm lay.

Most importantly, Jiang Lin had never experienced a life-or-death battle in his Martial Warrior Realm.

In the Chen Manor, whether it was Little Jia or Madam Chen, Jiang Lin subconsciously knew that neither of them could possibly harm him.

Upon arriving in the Demon Race World, Jiang Lin thought he could finally practice his martial arts, but he found that everyone he encountered was quite weak, which made him wish he could Jiang Lin a punch.

Now, this clock can be used as a sandbag!

It could even allow him to covet the Martial Warrior Fifth Realm — the Heroic Soul Realm!

The Heroic Soul Realm! As the name suggests, it's all about a powerful and imposing physique. This black tower is the perfect whetstone for that!

As for the Resurrection Coin, they're more than enough even after the series ends, and the opportunity to hone Martial Warrior physique is extremely rare!

Clang...

A sound echoed across the Martial Arts Training Ground, and Jiang Lin was once again enveloped by the black tower...

This left Hu Shizhi, the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Sect, somewhat bewildered.

The first time he was covered up, fine, but why didn't he even try to avoid it the second time? This man even seemed excited looking at his own dark figure, like a pervert seeing a young woman.

Is this person crazy?

But whatever, the shield's already been put on, so whatever his motives, let's just kill him first!

So Hu Shizhi began chanting the incantation to activate the Black Tower.

Inside the black tower, Jiang Lin took a deep breath and continued to seal his Spiritual Apertures, relying solely on his Martial Warrior Physique to resist!

Inside the black tower, Jiang Lin once again felt the black Spiritual Power eroding his body.

The wronged souls trapped under this Exquisite Black Pagoda kept rushing towards Jiang Lin!

Jiang Lin still didn't loosen his Spiritual Apertures, gathering his Martial Warrior True Qi in his Dantian, and then unleashing punch after punch!

Jiang Lin's every punch shattered the Black Qi and spirit, the Fist Force striking the Exquisite Black Pagoda.

The thunderous crashing sounds continued to echo from within the Black Tower, and were much stronger than the first time.

Thump!

The final thud of a fist echoed throughout the entire mountain peak, sending a jolt through Hu Shizhi's heart...

Fortunately, the commotion subsided.

Wiping away a bead of cold sweat, Hu Shizhi breathed a sigh of relief, and the Exquisite Black Pagoda rose again.

In the distance, only that unruly pair of boxer shorts remained...

"Bin..."

The sound of copper coins falling on marble rang out again, and Jiang Lin reappeared on the Martial Arts Training Ground.

"Ah!!!"

Before Murong Qin could even begin to sob, another scream rang out from the girl, and Murong Qin covered her eyes again.

He calmly walked to his underwear, then calmly put it on, muttering to himself, "So close..."

Jiang Lin looked at his fist.

It is indeed somewhat lacking.

Looking at his own eight-pack abs, which could make rich women's eyes light up, he seemed even more toned.

I bounced around a bit, and it felt like my body was lighter.

Jiang Lin even felt that his soul had become stronger.

This tower is indeed a valuable item, though I don't know why it ended up in the hands of such people.

"How could this be!"

Compared to Jiang Lin's composure, at this moment, the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace truly began to question the meaning of life!

He's clearly dead!

But why did it come back to life?!

And why is this guy in his underwear even more excited?!

This man's Martial Warrior True Qi has become even stronger, and his cultivation level has advanced further!

"Hey! Old man, is that all you've got? A nine-fold discount water bottle? I'll stand right here and let you keep trying to trap me, you think you can't kill me?"

"I'm only Martial Warrior Fourth Realm, and you can't even kill me? No way, no way??? You can't really be that useless, can you?"

Standing on the Martial Arts Training Ground, Jiang Lin unleashed his full power, transforming into a Yin-Yang Master.

He was quite afraid, but not of the black tower itself; rather, he was afraid that the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Sect would be reluctant to let him refine his body because he was worried about his magical treasure.

"Damn it! You're infuriating! You brat! Die!"

As expected, unable to withstand Jiang Lin's relentless mockery, the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace roared again, and the Exquisite Black Pagoda was erected once more.

Then came the sound of the bell ringing again.

Then, after the bell stopped ringing, it became another pair of unruly underpants.

Then Jiang Lin back to being naked...

"Huh??? That's it? No way? That's it?"

"Die!"

That's it?

Three times in total, the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace, refusing to believe in superstition, kept covering Jiang Lin, wanting to prove that his Exquisite Black Pagoda was the strongest.

But Jiang Lin escaped death time and time again.

Inside the Black Tower, Jiang Lin's fighting spirit intensified!

This is the exhilarating feeling of a Martial Warrior who grows stronger with each battle; he feels his soul becoming more and more resilient, even connected to his fist, experiencing a sense of "man is fist"!

Jiang Lin now understands why Martial Warrior must experience life-or-death combat! Fists are forged through fighting!

Finally, when this Exquisite Black Pagoda covered Jiang Lin for the last time...

The Black Tower remained completely silent?

Everyone stared blankly at the black tower.

What's going on? Why has he stopped attacking the tower? Has he given up?

One breath... two breaths... longer and longer, still no movement, but Hu Shizhi and Shen Xu dared not make any rash moves, and cold sweat even broke out on their foreheads for some reason.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, just as the sound of a needle piercing the air was heard upon landing in the Martial Arts Training Ground, a loud bang resounded throughout the entire Miao Water Palace.

A crack appeared on the Exquisite Black Pagoda in a spot the size of a fist. Then, the crack quickly spread, covering the entire black tower like a spider web!

"Splash, splash..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the black tower collapsed like a crumbling mud house, its black iron fragments scattering all around Jiang Lin!

"My tower! My tower! My tower! Pfft!!!"

The Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace, having lost his Natal Treasure, spat out a mouthful of blood. Watching the greatest Opportunity of his life vanish, he went mad, his hair flying wildly.

He simply couldn't believe that this person could escape death time and time again!

He couldn't believe it either, that his Black Tower, which was powerful enough to refine Golden Core Realm cultivators and coveted even by the Sect Leader, had been smashed to pieces by a mere Martial Warrior Fourth Realm!

But he wasn't the only one heartbroken; Jiang Lin was too...

Looking at the black iron tiles on the ground, Jiang Lin felt a pang of heartache.

Although he had used three Resurrection Coin to court death, Jiang Lin didn't take it to heart at all, since he had far too many Resurrection Coin.

But this black tower is incredibly rare... I was so close to reaching the Martial Warrior Fifth Realm! Why did it shatter?

"You... I'll fight you to the death!!! Aaaaaah!!!"

Having lost his Natal Treasure and been shattered by the humiliation of being Martial Warrior Fourth Realm, the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace lost his mind and rushed towards Jiang Lin. However, before he could even take a step, Jiang Lin had already disappeared from the spot.

In an instant! In the eyes of him and Shen Xu, Jiang Lin's figure suddenly appeared, and Jiang Lin, with his Frost Fist Intent, had already punched through their hearts.

"Your Black Tower is awesome, it's just a shame I broke it."

Jiang Lin said regretfully, while the ice on his fists spread rapidly across their bodies.

When Jiang Lin withdrew his fist, their bodies had already cracked open, turning into countless ice crystals and disappearing from the spot.

Jiang Lin to the fragments of the black tower, swept them up, and then placed the golden lotus seeds that Wu Ke had given him on them.

The lotus seeds emitted a golden light, and at the same time, gusts of black wind swept out from the black tower, blowing Jiang Lin's hair wildly.

The black wind is the resentment and unwillingness of wronged souls.

Two breaths later, the black wind dissipated, and amidst the golden light emanating from the golden lotus, hundreds of souls imprisoned by the black tower floated in the air.

They all bowed deeply to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Lin stood up and bowed in return.

Under the Buddha's light, they turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air, having been delivered from suffering.

On that golden lotus seed, some asterisk marks appeared. Jiang Lin knew that this was merit, the merit of Jiang Lin's salvation of them.

"Can someone like me really receive merit...?"

Jiang Lin smiled and shook his head, gently tossing the golden lotus seed, imbued with merit, backward, where it landed peacefully in the girl's fair palm.

"Senior?"

"Here you go, it's a small gift, you can carry it with you."

The purified fragments of the black tower, however, seemed to have faded, turning bronze. Clearly, this was because the person had committed too many sins with the tower, causing it to become corrupted.

This tower isn't some kind of magical tower; it's just that it was taken by the wrong person.

Moreover, logically speaking, the Natal Treasure should disappear after the death of its owner, but the tower still exists, which shows that the tower is no ordinary object.

This tower is even surprisingly effective against Martial Warrior.

Jiang Lin put the item into his Storage Bag, planning to return to the Sun Moon Sect and have Xiao Hei study it.

Jiang Lin clapped his hands, and as he turned around, another group of the Miao Water Palace disciples arrived.

They had actually arrived earlier, and just in time to see their Palace Master being blasted to death by this boy in his underwear. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Jiang Lin looked at them, and his icy gaze sent a chill down everyone's spine, causing them all to kneel down.

Sensing that the commotion outside had finally subsided, the women, who had been living a life of debauchery and debauchery in a state of calm yet frightening tranquility, also put on silk gauze dresses and left the palace.

What they first saw was his proud back and the lingering presence of Shen Xu and the Grand Elder of the Zhi Chuang Palace beside him.

But this aura dissipated with the wind in the next moment, and the restraints on their souls also disappeared.

When Jiang Lin arrived, he had already learned from Murong Qin that Miao Water Palace would impose a kind of soul binding on women it abducted, or Miao Water Palace who were even slightly attractive.

Then they would have to obey the Palace Master Miao Water Palace without question, or they would suffer the pain of having their souls devoured.

These women were usually kept in the harem of the Miao Water Palace, and after they were no longer used, they would be given away to male disciples at will to maintain their loyalty.

"If you have a grudge, take revenge; if you have a grievance, settle it. If you want to leave the mountain, then leave. I will not take you in, and I will not want you."

Jiang Lin tossed some ordinary blades to each of them from his Storage Bag.

Another Icy Cold Sword Qi swept across the Martial Arts Training Ground, completely destroying the Spiritual Apertures of all the male disciples at the same time! Their hands and feet were also bound!

They stood there stunned for a long time. Finally, one woman picked up the blade, and then another woman picked up the blade as well.

They gripped their blades tightly and walked step by step toward the male disciples who had humiliated them or abducted them to the Miao Water Palace.

On this day, the stream next to the Martial Arts Training Ground of the Miao Water Palace was completely dyed red.

[To explain briefly, the male protagonist fights as a fourth-level Martial Warrior throughout the entire story. Martial Warrior Fourth Realm aren't really that strong. The author just wanted to upgrade the male protagonist's Martial Warrior level and use some extra Resurrection Coin...]

Moreover, that black tower is foreshadowed...

However, unexpectedly, the use of Resurrection Coin caused controversy...

After thinking about it, Xianyu realized that he hadn't considered things thoroughly (but this Black Tower really does have a special effect against Martial Warrior).

I'll be more careful about this in the future.

And there's another big chapter today, a total of 8000 words.
