The First Floor
Just as Hua Qiang was climbing the steps and preparing to step into the tower gate, he found two figures appearing on his left and right.
One wore a black dress with a black veil covering the lower half of her face; the other wore a fiery red dress with a red veil covering the lower half of her face.
Both girls had graceful figures, slender and curvaceous, incredibly alluring.
Her beautiful eyes were exposed, and although the lower half of her face was covered, the outline was still visible. Well, let's be frank; the veil couldn't hide Hua Qiang's eyes at all.
Both girls were beautiful, like fairies.
Hua Qiang couldn't help but sigh, "There are so many beautiful women in the cultivation world!"
Absolutely stunning even without makeup!
The two women, one in black and one in red, turned their heads to look at Hua Qiang, their eyes showing surprise.
After all, Hua Qiang's appearance, height, and temperament all really hit their aesthetic points.
Hua Qiang noticed the two women observing him, nodded, greeted them politely, and stepped into the doorway first, steadily entering the first floor of the Trial Tower.
As soon as he entered, he keenly sensed a mysterious and powerful force that instantly enveloped him. Immediately afterward, his body tensed up, and upon looking inward, He Tong discovered that his cultivation level had been ruthlessly sealed to the Saint Realm Stage 1.
That feeling of helplessness from when I was weak surged back into my heart, as if I had been plunged back into that unbearable "scumbag moment" overnight.
Just then, a majestic and cold voice seemed to descend from the endless void. "Welcome to Trial Participant No. 9527."
This is the first level of the Trial Tower. Please select the difficulty level: Easy, Hard, or Nightmare.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qiang was slightly taken aback, secretly thinking to himself: Is there really such a clear distinction between the difficulty levels of this challenge?
So what kind of bizarre and dangerous challenges lie behind these different levels?
He composed himself and Wen Dao to the vast, self-contained space, "Could you please provide some information about it?"
The voice paused for a moment, then answered without a trace of emotion, "Trial participant No. 9527, this tower has 100 floors."
Levels 1 to 10 correspond to the Saint Realm Stage 1.
Floors 11 to 20 correspond to the Saint Realm Tier.
And so on... Levels 91 to 100 correspond to the Divine Realm.
If you choose the easy level, the rules are as follows: the first level has only 1 Level 1 Demonic Beast, the second level has 2 Level 1 Demonic Beast, the third level has 3, and so on, until the tenth level when you will encounter 10 Level 1 Demonic Beast.
The Hard difficulty level is twice as difficult, and the Nightmare level is ten times more terrifying.
Upon hearing this, Hua Qiang couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, "Holy crap! This kind of increasing difficulty is absolutely deadly!"
Instantly, a terrifying image flashed through his mind: countless ferocious and brutal monsters baring their fangs and claws rushing towards him.
No wonder so many ambitious and powerful individuals who ventured into this place ended up dejected and defeated.
While the easy level may seem less stressful, the further you progress, the more numerous the challenges become, and a slight misstep could lead to an unexpected disaster.
The difficulty level is so high that just imagining the exponentially increased number of monsters is enough to make one's scalp tingle and feel that it's going to be tough.
As for the Nightmare level, it is simply terrifying, like an insurmountable chasm lying in front of one's eyes, and one dares not even think about the difficulties and dangers involved.
Hua Qiang stood there, his brows furrowing slightly before relaxing.
Isn't this tailor-made for him?
He needs a lot of Slaughter Points, and the more monsters there are, the better!
As for the difficulty level, I'll choose Nightmare.
"I choose Nightmare level!" Hua Qiang declared to the air.
"Congratulations! Your trial journey shall now begin!"
Hua Qiang only caught a glimpse of light and shadow before his eyes, and the gray space had suddenly transformed into a vast green grassland.
Afterwards—the sky is vast and blue, the wilderness is boundless, and the wind blows the grass low, revealing ten wolves.
Level 1 Demonic Beast Gale Wolf!
With a flick of his wrist, the Thunderclap Blade appeared in his hand. As he entered this grassland, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
As his mobility diminished, it was as if a tremendous force was pressing down on him, causing him to walk much slower than normal, as if he were being restrained by some kind of law.
The heaviness of his body made him feel that the ground's gravity was much stronger than normal.
Gravity!
The thought flashed through Hua Qiang's mind.
This Trial Tower contains the Law of Gravity.
Those undergoing trials in the tower must endure the pressure of gravity, bear heavy burdens, and fight against these monsters.
The person who created this Trial Tower seems to have wanted to forge elite troops and generals, so that those who enter the trials here would undergo such tempering.
Spending a long time here is very helpful for honing one's physical condition and developing one's potential.
Hua Qiang's eyes lit up.
He mastered the Law of Wood, Law of Fire, Ice Law, Law of Thunder, but lacked power.
It's gravity!
If one could comprehend the Law of Gravity, and in a battle against a monster or a human, suddenly apply gravity to the opponent, it would greatly slow down their movement.
The opponent's normal skills will be greatly reduced during the execution process.
Isn't this a huge cheating method?
Hahaha.
Hua Qiang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
After eliminating the ten wolves, Zhou carefully sensed the Law of Gravity.
See if we can grasp the relevant information, deduce its implications, and take control.
On the grassland, ten Clear Wind Wolf emerged from the grass like ghosts, their eerie green eyes instantly locking onto Hua Qiang —this unexpected intruder.
In an instant, the howls of wolves rose and fell, piercing the sky.
"Awooo—"
It was the cry of hunger and wildness, and then, like black lightning, they pounced on Hua Qiang.
Its eyes gleamed with a greedy desire for meat, determined to tear its prey to shreds and feast on it.
Hua Qiang remained calm and composed, his posture as sturdy as a pine tree. The Thunderclap Blade in his hand seemed to sense its master's fighting spirit, humming softly.
With a flick of his wrist, the blade flashed, and with several swift and clean slashes, several sharp blade energies shot out like tangible silver streaks.
Each blade of energy precisely slashed at several Clear Wind Wolves, leaving a trail of blood and howls of agony wherever it went.
In the blink of an eye, the ten Clear Wind Wolves that were baring their fangs and claws were all lying dead on the ground, their heads separated from their bodies, and the stench of blood filled the air.
With a swift reach, he collected ten dull gray Demon Core into his pouch.
Hua Qiang calmly sheathed his Thunderclap Blade, his eyes sharp as he slowly paced across the grassland, keenly sensing the subtle changes in his surroundings.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, realizing that the gravitational influence was stronger in one place than in other places.
Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the mysterious Law of Gravity.
Everything around him seemed to be isolated from him, and he was engaged in a profound dialogue with the invisible power of the law.
