"The Heaven-Piercing Tower is behind Heaven-Piercing Azure Mountain. You can't see it from here," someone explained. After a pause, he looked the questioner up and down and smiled faintly. "You want to challenge the Heaven-Piercing Tower?"
"Why can't I?" The warrior stiffened his neck, his face full of defiance. "It's just the Heaven-Piercing Tower. I'll challenge it and see what's so formidable about it."

It had eighteen floors in all.
At that moment, lights flickered across the First Floor through the tenth.
Qin Hao understood at once: people must have been challenging those floors.
Above the tenth
