Grinding Experience

Listening to the two people's taunts, Hong Chen's expression remained unchanged.

He had seen Ye Cang's combat power.

Being able to kill a War Venerable, even the weakest one, proved that Ye Cang's strength was enough to reach 300 tons.

Passing the tenth floor was merely a matter of time.

The most important parts were the eleventh and twelfth floors.

The fierce beast on the eleventh floor unleashed combat power equivalent to a human Warrior who had comprehended Artistic Conception, its strength slightly greater than Xue Long's back then.

Not to mention the twelfth floor.

"Ye Cang! I hope you don't disappoint me!"

Hong Chen closed his eyes, completely ignoring the two people's taunts, and quietly waited.

Virtual Battle Tower!

Ye Cang's figure weaved and dodged on the platform, his long sword clashing fiercely with the Gale Mantis's forelimbs from time to time.

Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, nine minutes had passed.

"Has the experience stopped?"

"Little mantis! Is this your limit? If so, then I'll send you on your way!"

Ye Cang muttered, and the next moment, a startling red light flashed on the God Slaying Sword in his hand.

"Artistic Conception..."

"Blood Drop!"

BOOM!

His strength instantly surged by dozens of tons.

CRACK!

The moment they collided, a crack appeared on one of the Gale Mantis's forelimbs.

Before it could dodge, Ye Cang slashed down again.

Under the crushing, ferocious power, in just ten seconds, this Gale Mantis was directly beheaded by him.

"Tenth floor trial complete. The eleventh floor trial will commence in three minutes!"

Hearing the prompt, Ye Cang's heart stirred. The mid-match break time had increased by two minutes.

Sitting on the ground, he looked at his system panel.

[Combat Skill: Aurora Sword Wings (Second Level 95/2000, Aurora Sword Intent · Low Grade)...]

[Movement Technique: Subtlety (516/)]

After one battle, his swordsmanship and movement technique had each gained eighty to ninety points of experience.

This was equivalent to saving him one hundred and sixty to seventy points of Life Energy.

"If I get a few more of these, it'll be no different than hunting fierce beasts!"

Ye Cang's heart moved.

Three minutes later.

BOOM!

The platform widened again.

A beam of light descended.

A fierce beast, over three meters tall and resembling a human, appeared before him.

"Virtual Battle Tower eleventh floor trial begins. Please kill the peak Beast General, Violent Kangaroo, within 10 minutes!"

BANG!

The instant the electronic voice disappeared, the Violent Kangaroo vanished, leaving only a loud bang from the platform.

"So fast!"

Shock flashed in Ye Cang's eyes. At this moment, the Violent Kangaroo had already appeared behind him and unleashed a punch.

"Blood Drop Artistic Conception!"

"Explode!"

Ye Cang didn't hesitate, directly unleashing the peak strength from the previous battle.

Nearly 300 tons!

BOOM!

The Violent Kangaroo's fist directly smashed onto the God Slaying Sword in Ye Cang's hand.

Terrifying power passed through the sword body and slammed into Ye Cang's body.

In just one exchange, he was directly sent flying back more than ten meters by the Violent Kangaroo's immense strength.

"Truly ferocious power!"

Ye Cang sighed inwardly, quickly holding his sword and slashing to the side.

At this moment, the Ferocious Power Kangaroo had already appeared in that spot.

"In terms of speed and strength, it completely overwhelms the Gale Mantis."

After assessing its combat power, Ye Cang concentrated his mind and fought with all his might.

In such high-intensity combat, he found that his experience with swordsmanship and movement techniques grew much faster.

On average, about fifteen points could be gained per minute.

"This Virtual Battle Pod is truly a treasure!"

As the battle continued, Ye Cang kept honing his swordsmanship and movement techniques.

Three minutes!

Six minutes!

Nine minutes!

During the final minute, Ye Cang began to unleash his power.

"Aurora Sword Wings!"

With a soft shout, a pair of sword wings intertwined with crimson and white flowing light appeared behind him.

In an instant, his speed and strength doubled once more.

"Let's have another go!"

Ye Cang shouted.

Dual Artistic Concept activated!

Mental power boosted!

Combat power unleashed.

At this point, his strength had reached 362.8 tons, not to mention his speed.

In just over ten seconds, he had suppressed the Ferocious Power Kangaroo.

In about thirty seconds, he decapitated the Ferocious Power Kangaroo.

"Trial on the eleventh floor complete. The twelfth floor trial will commence in three minutes!"

He looked at the system panel.

[Combat Skill: Aurora Sword Wings (Second Stage 204/2000, Aurora Sword Intent · Low Grade)...]

[Movement Technique: Microscopic Mastery (672/)]

"Saved another 265 points of Life Energy!"

A hint of joy flashed through Ye Cang's mind.

Glancing at the panel, he continued to wait for the twelfth floor trial to begin.

On this floor, his performance would directly determine the success or failure of the bet between Hong Chen and Fan Yongfeng.

"I have to give it my all!"

He let out a long breath and looked at the ferocious beast slowly condensing before him.

"The twelfth floor trial of the Virtual Battle Tower has begun. Please defeat the peak Beast General, the Earth-Shattering Giant Ape, within 10 minutes!"

It was a ferocious beast, an ape-like creature about five meters tall, with an earthy yellow color.

Bang, bang, bang...

"Roar!"

The moment the Earth-Shattering Giant Ape appeared, it pounded its chest and roared at the sky, then looked at Ye Cang.

Its eyes seemed to contain a spark of intelligence.

Boom!

After observing Ye Cang for a few breaths, it instantly launched its attack.

Its movements seemed to incorporate combat techniques of human Warriors.

"Fight!"

Seeing the Earth-Shattering Giant Ape charging head-on, Ye Cang roared and unleashed his full power, drawing the God Slaying Sword and venting the 362.8 tons of strength.

Bang!

The Earth-Shattering Giant Ape threw a punch. The moment their attacks collided, Ye Cang was sent flying dozens of meters.

"Such overbearing strength, it might have 400 tons of power!"

Ye Cang quickly got up and stood with his sword. At this moment, the Earth-Shattering Giant Ape's attack had already arrived.

Boom!

The heavy fist smashed down from above. Ye Cang's knees buckled, and he almost fell to the ground.

In a moment of urgency, he used the force to dodge, quickly creating distance.

However, the Earth-Splitting Giant Ape's speed was no less than his. The instant he adjusted his stance, its third punch came crashing down.

In less than half a minute, Ye Cang was already dodging miserably in the arena.

He realized then that a direct confrontation was completely outmatched by this giant ape.

Though he didn't know how Fan Zhuoqun had failed, he believed that as long as he could last until the ten minutes were up, his score wouldn't be too bad.

Thus, Ye Cang gave up on offensive attacks. While using a few 'King Slayer Flying Swords' to interfere, he employed his Movement Technique and began to entangle with the Earth-Splitting Giant Ape.

Roar!

Time ticked by. Under his relentless harassment, the Earth-Splitting Giant Ape roared furiously.

Unfortunately, as his Movement Technique experience gradually increased, Ye Cang's movements became more agile, and the Earth-Splitting Giant Ape's effective attacks gradually decreased.

In the blink of an eye, the trial time ended.

"Trial on the twelfth floor failed!"

"Combat power assessment complete!"

"Overall evaluation, Ye Cang, Virtual Battle Tower 11.4 floors!"

Hearing the final announcement, Ye Cang let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness! A little higher than Fan Zhuoqun!"

At this moment, a digital prompt sounded again.

"First combat power assessment complete. To continue further assessments, a fee of 30,000 contribution points is required each time. Sufficient contribution points detected, do you wish to continue with the assessment?"

Hearing this, Ye Cang, who had just relaxed, instantly's eyes lit up.

He glanced at his status panel.

Although he had been in a sorry state just now, he had at least gained 32 points of Swordplay experience and 129 points of Movement Technique experience.

"I still have over 110,000 contribution points, so I can undergo at least three more assessments."

"Calculating based on the experience from just now, three assessments will save me nearly 500 points of Life Energy!"

With this thought, Ye Cang unhesitatingly chose to continue the assessment.

"Ye Cang, Virtual Battle Tower 11.4 floors. Please select your Combat Suit and weapon within one minute. The twelfth floor trial will begin after one minute!"

After selecting his weapon and Combat Suit, a beam of light descended before him, and the Earth-Splitting Giant Ape reappeared.

"Bring it on! Help me farm some experience!"
