A Real Brawl Begins

I surrender!

With a declaration from Feng Xue that seemed to come from nowhere, the scene before us returned to the sixth floor of the Tower of Babylon.

Looking at the challenger who had clearly been killed by him but had inexplicably shouted that he had surrendered, one of the landlords on the sixth floor couldn't help but feel a little wary.

"Thank you for your guidance. This is just a small gift, nothing special." Feng Xue smiled and took out a coin, handing it to the homeowner. The homeowner was slightly taken aback, but still accepted it.

Feng Xue, who had just died again, seemed unaffected as she walked to the stairwell and entered the guard challenge once more.

However, instead of selecting "Start," he took out a card pack containing the "Graveyard" element, retrieved the "Grave of Resurrection" he had just used, and performed a "resurrection surgery" on himself again.

While this resurrection card has drawbacks such as being usable only once per battle (three times if you can craft the same card again, and even more with cards that return to the field via traps), being in a defensive state after resurrection and unable to immediately attack, and resurrecting an enemy unit locked to your faction, these cannot overshadow its perfect resurrection effect.

In other situations, Feng Xue would have to consider issues like having his body guarded after death, but in the context of challenging Residence Right, this card allows him to get something for free without any loss. The only problem is that he doesn't know what happened to the "enemies" resurrected by this card.

Of course, even with such concerns, he couldn't possibly give up using this useful resurrection item to freeload off the host just because he was worried about enemies that might jump out at any time.

Today is Feng Xue's twenty-fourth day in the Tower of Babel. There is only one week left until the end of the challenge month. After accidentally killing the most diverse type of supernatural guards, Feng Xue spent a few more days farming knight guards and cluster guards before starting the official host challenge.

Compared to the guards who had already achieved a near-total dominance, these homeowners were indeed ridiculously strong. Even the sixth floor, which the cowboy had introduced to him, possessed formidable Combat Power.

Taking out a small notebook, Feng Xue crossed out one of the numbers. Looking at the remaining numbers, she frowned and said:

"There are still 3 landlords left on the sixth floor that we haven't fought yet. After we finish them, we'll try the seventh floor."

Although that's what he said, Feng Xue had completely given up on the idea of getting the landlord qualification before the end of the month. Just as the cowboy said, he was just a "newborn" and hadn't even figured out the basic abilities of the Weird Tale yet. It would be too arrogant for him to want to defeat these seniors.

However, since I can revive, it's good to gain more combat experience.

Once the Boots of Silence had completely healed the wound on his chest, Feng Xue triggered the start command. However, before the guards could appear, he decisively declared, "I surrender."

Returning to the stairwell on the eighth floor, Feng Xue descended to the sixth floor, then entered the villa area again, finding a villa she hadn't yet challenged by following the house number.

"Tap tap tap..."

Gently knocking on the villa door, Feng Xue initiated the challenge application according to the standard procedure provided by the Tower of Babylon. However, to his surprise, the homeowner did not come out of the room as usual, but instead directly opened the challenge space.

"Finally, someone who likes to fight in the middle of the night!" Looking at the crimson moon hanging in the sky, Feng Xue's face lit up with surprise. But the next moment, he received a message from the Tower of Babylon—

"Homeowner not detected. Initiating the Descent Rule. Failure to arrive within five minutes is considered a forfeit of the challenge, and the challenger automatically gains Residence Right..."

As the five-minute countdown ticked away, Feng Xue's expression was a mix of emotions. On one hand, having finally arrived at the main stage of the night, Feng Xue was eager to try out the full force of the Disassembly Madonna on these old-school Weird Tale. On the other hand, he couldn't help but hope that the other party wouldn't return in time, allowing him to get a free Residence Right.

Although the other party will likely immediately challenge the Residence Right upon their return, even just a few minutes would be beneficial if it allowed them to understand the intricacies of the Residence Right.

With this thought in mind, Feng Xue stroked the handle of the Disassembly Madonna while quietly waiting for the countdown to slowly approach its end.

However, he soon gave up on waiting idly and began to observe his surroundings.

This place looks like a cemetery, with all sorts of tombstones everywhere. At what seems like the end or exit of the cemetery, there's a pointed building with a cross on top, which could be either the caretaker's hut or a church where funerals are held.

"In this kind of environment, I always feel like a bunch of undead creatures might jump out. It seems like the owner of this house is a ghost Weird Tale?" Feng Xue silently analyzed in her mind. No matter where you are, ghost stories have always been the mainstream of Weird Tale. Compared to the brain-teasing rules of Weird Tale, simple and brutal fear is the easiest element to become popular.

If it were half a month ago, Feng Xue would probably have had a very difficult time dealing with pure ghost-type enemies, but things are different now.

It wasn't because he had created some kind of magical Phantom Object that could subdue ghosts, but because he had successfully integrated the Fey Energy within his body into his Internal Force system.

Since learning Misty Field, Feng Xue has possessed Fairy-type energy within him, but he has been unable to utilize it through techniques other than Misty Field.

However, once he gained the power of [Martial], everything changed. As he made more use of the Misty Field in battle, he gradually grasped the method of using Fey Energy and combined this power, which combines life and spirit, with the Bu Tiange cultivation path.

Although his understanding of Fey Energy is currently limited to its simple use, Feng Xue believes that it won't be long before he can develop a technique that can extract fairy-type Internal Force (perhaps fairy + fighting?) without relying on the Mist Field Skill machine.

By then, the quality of the Butian Ge Secret Manual should improve again.

As Feng Xue pondered, the countdown reached its final twenty seconds. Just as he was beginning to anticipate his life as a homeowner, a new message suddenly arrived from the Tower of Babylon—

"The landlord has arrived; prepare for battle."

"So he really came back after all?" Feng Xue, who had been mentally prepared, was not too disappointed. Looking at the countdown of a dozen seconds that had not been reset, he gripped the Disassembly Madonna tightly with his right hand and held the Bell of Absolution with his left, ready to engage in battle at any moment. However, at the very instant the countdown reached zero, he still couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It wasn't that the woman's appearance Gynomorphic Filter, was so stunning that it made him lose his composure; rather, it was because the landlady was frantically pulling her pants up, her bare upper body swinging wildly with her hurried movements...

Fey Energy contains the power of life (the God of Life is a single fairy attribute), but it also involves spirit and soul (soul impact, enchanting voice, coquetry), and has a high compatibility with Internal Force.
