Qin Hao ignored the first few things Wang Xiaoling had said. Even if Wang Xiaoling had told him nothing about the Heaven-Piercing Tower, he had other ways to find out.
What surprised him was...
The first twelve floors were one thing, but starting from the thirteenth, the opponents were Venerables.
"No wonder challengers need to master at least one Origin Law to clear the first fifteen floors."
"If the opponent is a First-Level Venerable, someone who's only mastered Half-Step Laws really has no hope of winning."
Qin Hao nodded to himself, still astonished.
After the fifteenth floor...
His opponent would be himself?
It was the first time he had heard of such a strange challenge.
But almost at once, Qin Hao understood the deeper meaning behind the Heaven-Piercing Tower's design.
Defeating an opponent was not hard. The real difficulty lay in defeating oneself.
"Brother Wang, are the names floating on that plaque in front of the Heaven-Piercing Tower those of people currently challenging it?" Qin Hao looked toward the tower.
Directly in front of the Heaven-Piercing Tower stood an enormous plaque carved from jade. Lights moved across its surface, each one bearing a name.
"That's right." Wang Xiaoling nodded. "Brother Qin, are you planning to challenge the Heaven-Piercing Tower?"
"I'll give it a try." Qin Hao did not deny it.
"Then I wish you success in advance, Brother Qin." Wang Xiaoling cupped his hands with a smile.
Qin Hao said no more to Wang Xiaoling and walked toward the Heaven-Piercing Tower's entrance. An Elder sat there, his aura vast and powerful. Qin Hao could not even sense his cultivation level.
"Senior."
Having seen others report to the Elder before entering the tower, Qin Hao approached him and asked respectfully, "I'd like to challenge the Heaven-Piercing Tower. What are the requirements?"
