The Ninth Floor
"How could this be! What makes Xiao Fan so special?! Didn't he climb to the eighth floor all by himself? How could he kill a level sixteen boss? What makes him so special?!"
Shen Beijun had just reached the fifth floor and hadn't even had time to be happy when he heard the system announce that Xiao Fan had killed a level 16 BOSS.
That's a BOSS! Not a level 16 Fierce Beast!
How could Xiao Fan dare to do that alone?
A metallic taste rose in Shen Beijun's throat, and he felt a chill run through his body.
The others in Zone 1 stood behind him, and no one dared to respond.
Qin Mumu secretly glanced at Shen Beijun and saw that his face was contorted with rage; his originally decent-looking face was twisted with jealousy and hatred.
"I'd always heard that Shen Beijun's elegant and gentle demeanor was all an act, and that he was actually a narrow-minded person. Turns out it was all true."
"Go ahead and be angry, you deserve to be angry to death." Qin Mumu cursed silently.
Not only Shen Beijun, but everyone else felt a chill run down their spines when they saw Xiao Fan's nearly 40,000 Points.
We can't catch up! We simply can't catch up!
Unless they also go up to the eighth floor and kill the BOSS, it's impossible for them to catch up with Xiao Fan's Points.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Fan will definitely win first place in the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition this time.
"No way! The first place in the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition can only belong to us!"
Shen Beijun roared suddenly, and a gust of yellow sand flew by, blowing a mouthful of sand into his mouth.
Qin Mumu wanted to laugh but dared not; his entire face was almost distorted.
Chen Xuewei staggered and almost lost her balance.
"Xiao Fan... he's grown so fast... no wonder even Jian Qingfeng is looking at him with new respect."
Chen Xuewei closed her eyes in anguish; she hadn't known at first that Xiao Fan's grades had been changed.
After the exams, her parents sent her to Dragon City under the pretext of studying, almost cutting her off from all contact with the outside world.
She only found out that Xiao Fan had gone to Zone 18 after she entered the game.
At the time, she vaguely guessed that this matter was related to her parents, but unfortunately there was nothing she could do.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't teamed up with Xiao Fan for the exam, things might not have turned out this way."
This is the thing Chen Xuewei regrets the most.
The reason she chose to team up with Xiao Fan during the exam was actually to make up for the hurt her parents had caused him.
However, she did not expect that after so much time had passed, her parents still had not let go of this matter, and even went so far as to take action against Xiao Fan's college entrance examination results.
What she didn't expect was that Xiao Fan would be this strong after entering the game.
No! She should have thought of that! She should have seen Xiao Fan's gaming talent during the exam.
Now, she has no way out.
As long as Xiao Fan leaves this place alive, her parents...
"Young Master Shen, we should find the entrance to the sixth floor as soon as possible. Only when we reach the sixth floor can we find those people from Zone 18 and then we'll have a way to deal with Xiao Fan."
Chen Xuewei's words finally calmed Shen Beijun down.
"Yes, Young Master Shen, what's the use of Xiao Fan having a high Points now? Once he dies, it's all over."
Shen Jiangyun quickly echoed, also afraid of Shen Beijun's anger.
This person's emotions are even more unstable than his!
No wonder his status in the Shen Family is not as high as his two older brothers.
"Yes, our most important task now is to find the entrance to the sixth floor. Don't let the rankings influence you."
Yu Wanru also secretly cursed her bad luck.
This year, I participated in the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition and not only did I run into a freakish contestant named 171, but the team leader was also that jerk Shen Beijun.
This is so painful!
Shen Beijun's biggest weakness is his low tolerance for stress, but his strength is that he never gives up.
Hearing everyone say that, he felt confident he could do it again.
"Yes, let's find the entrance to the sixth floor first. We absolutely cannot let Xiao Fan get away with this."
The scorching sun on the fourth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower was unbearable, and the endless yellow sand on the fifth floor was equally painful.
"Young Master Shen, didn't you say the entrances above the fifth floor would be easy to find? I feel like there's no difference at all. I still don't have a single clue."
Qin Mumu looked around and all he could see was yellow sand whipped up by the strong wind, and there were no signs indicating the upper entrance.
"Shen Beijun's previous guess must be wrong. The difficulty of the Myriad Phenomena Tower increases from low to high. How could the entrance to the upper level be easy to find?" Qin Mumu muttered to himself.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Shen Beijun's sinister voice rang out, Qin Mumu quickly shut his mouth.
"Young Master Shen, I've figured out a pattern to the upper-level entrance. I might not be able to find the exact entrance, but I can pinpoint its location."
Chen Xuewei suddenly spoke.
She hadn't said a word for the past few days, but had been quietly observing the location of the entrance on each floor, and she actually managed to find a pattern.
It's just a general location; the exact location still needs to be found.
"Weiwei, are you serious?" Shen Beijun looked at Chen Xuewei with surprise.
"Mm." Chen Xuewei nodded.
"Great! Vivi is so smart; it's already very good that she found the general location. Now, take us there."
The system voice sounded as soon as Shen Beijun finished speaking.
"Congratulations to player Player No. 171 for reaching the ninth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, Points 256 points, for Points total of 511 points, currently ranking first on the Tower Floor Ranking. Other participants, please keep up the good work!"
Congratulations to player Player No. 171 for achieving Points 39,175 points, currently Points first on the Overall Ranking. Other participants, please keep up the good work!
Silence! Deathly silence!
The only sound in the world seemed to be the howling of the wind.
Shen Beijun's smile froze on his face.
The others looked like they'd seen a ghost.
Chen Xuewei's hands were trembling. Although she had guessed that Xiao Fan would go to the ninth floor, she did not expect him to reach the top floor so quickly.
Only four days have passed since the Myriad Phenomena Tower was built, and Xiao Fan has already reached the top.
Can they really handle Xiao Fan like this?
"I'll try my best, damn it!"
Shen Beijun suddenly flew into a rage and kicked Shen Jiangyun hard, so hard that Shen Jiangyun fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"Idiot! I'll kill you one day!" Shen Jiangyun's eyes were practically spitting fire, his bloodshot eyes surging with naked hatred.
Seeing this, the others all took a few steps back, keeping their distance from Beijun, for fear of incurring his wrath.
Finally, Yu Wanru stepped forward. "Shen Beijun, be rational. Xiao Fan has already reached the ninth floor, we must catch up as soon as possible... The sixth floor, don't waste time here."
Shen Beijun's expression changed several times, but in the end he managed to restrain himself and not lose his temper again.
"Chen Xuewei, lead the way."
The ninth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
Xiao Fan and Zijin stood on an island.
All around was seawater.
"Could the Fierce Beast and boss on the ninth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower be ocean Fierce Beast?"
Xiao Fan held the Myriad Phenomena Token in his hand, torn between using it now and using it later.
After all...
The entrance to the ninth level of the secret realm was right in front of him.
If he were alone, he would choose to give up without hesitation.
This isn't because Zijin is involved.
Having fused with one of his Evolution Fragment, it's normal to help him clear a secret realm.
