Qin Han's Approach to the Tower

"Is this... a first-come, first-served situation?"

"We're a bit late. There are so many people here already. I hope everything of value has already been taken."

"I don't think so. Although there are quite a few people here, they all seem to be waiting. There must be some kind of internal test."

The three people rushed over and reacted differently to the scene before them.

The same reaction was seen on the faces of the vast majority of people who came.

After all, this casual coming and going seems rather frustrating, and to some extent, it makes it seem like whoever is closer has an advantage.

It's not that I have a problem with taking advantage of others, it's just that I can't stand that I'm not the one who gets the benefit.

Qin Han looked around and inquired in the crowd.

Through skillful questioning, he has now learned some information that everyone generally knows.

"I didn't expect that it would require consuming light to try it. No wonder so many people are hesitating here."

Qin Han looked at the many people present.

If there are such restrictions, then it's not surprising.

According to what I've heard, the higher the level you want to reach, the more light you need.

Although you will receive corresponding rewards as long as you successfully pass the corresponding test at each level, and the glory you put in will also be returned.

But if you fail in the process and don't pass the test, the glory will no longer belong to you.

More importantly, the brilliance that most people possess seems insufficient to reach very high levels.

Therefore, many people are currently adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

First, observe how far people at your level can go, and then consider what benefits they can gain.

"Damn it, if it weren't for those people, I definitely wouldn't be in this mess right now."

Looking at myself, I realized I radiated more light than many others present.

But not by much.

The thought of that damned kind person's gift made Qin Han feel like he almost couldn't choke.

Over a thousand spirit beasts! If I kill them all, at least for now, I won't have to worry about having too little spiritual energy.

"There's no other way, let's go in and give it a try."

Being in a good position, he was able to get there quickly because he wasn't far from the place.

It could also be seen as fate.

The prodigies from the major transcendent forces have not yet arrived, making this a good opportunity.

At that moment, Qin Han flashed into the Nine-Story Tower.

Inside the tower, not long after entering, one sees a statue standing there, clad in full armor, holding a gun in one hand and extending the other.

There was a sign nearby listing some of the relevant requirements.

Qin Han glanced at it, drew the corresponding light, and then stepped inside.

A short while later, his figure appeared at the entrance to the second floor, and he gently shook his head:

Is that all?

For a place that possesses the legacy of Saint King, this level of difficulty is far too easy for him.

"Continue."

At that moment, more light shone through, and Qin Han got up and entered the second floor.

Not long after, Qin Han arrived at the third floor.

"It did present some challenges, but it's still within a manageable range."

With a soft voice, Qin Han glanced at another space not far away, which had been cleared by the force.

Those who failed to pass the second level were now out of the question and had no choice but to leave.

"This Nine-Story Tower may seem easy, but it's not something everyone can do."

As he spoke, Qin Han pressed on and entered the third level in one go.

Despite a slight oversight, thanks to Hua Yunfan's verbal guidance, they still managed to reach the fourth floor without any unexpected incidents.

"The fourth level actually requires so much light?"

When Qin Han saw the required number of rays of light, his expression immediately changed slightly.

He already needs to give up almost half of his brilliance.

He had a somewhat uneasy feeling.

Am I destined to be troubled by my lack of brilliance?

Shaking his head, Qin Han took a deep breath.

Let's just go for it!

The fourth level presents a significant increase in difficulty, testing one's endurance.

This time, Qin Han's situation was not as easy as before.

If it weren't for Hua Yunfan's secret support, there would probably be no way they could have persevered to completion.

Disaster.

The entrance to the fifth floor is much more spacious.

It provides a space for rest and recovery for those who have reached this stage.

"Although it's more difficult, the rewards are indeed significantly higher than the first three levels."

Looking at the bottle of top-grade Earth Rank pills he had obtained, Qin Han spoke softly.

"The later levels will likely be even more difficult," Hua Yunfan said.

Based on the previous situation, she had a premonition that Qin Han's situation was probably not optimistic.

Unless, some miracle happens.

Qin Han didn't say anything. Difficult? He wasn't afraid. He believed in himself!

A short while later, Qin Han got up and went to the sculpture on the sixth floor.

This time, the amount of light required was much greater, almost three-quarters of his.

There are many, but we've already come this far, more than halfway through the tower, why would we give up now?

In addition, the sign specifically indicated that the fifth level tests reaction speed.

"With Elder Hua around, this kind of test shouldn't be a big problem."

With a thought to himself, Qin Han stepped into the fifth floor.

The space on the fifth floor is even smaller than the ones before it.

A circle is marked on the ground, with an arrow pointing inside it.

Qin Han got up and walked inside. Immediately afterwards, a voice rang out:

"This level tests your reaction speed, please be prepared, three... two..."

The countdown was in progress, and Qin Han was waiting for the final "one" to be said.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the word "two" was uttered, an astonishing power suddenly and frantically gathered.

In an instant, a giant, radiant hand materialized and slapped directly from one side.

!

Not only Qin Han, but even Hua Yunfan hadn't expected that this test could be so insidious.

However, it's not like there's absolutely no time for any reaction.

Hua Yunfan did react.

There was a reaction, but not much.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Qin Han was sent flying.

My head suddenly went blank, and a constant buzzing sound filled my ears.

Before he could react, a force struck, sweeping Qin Han away.

The scene before me gradually became clearer.

When Qin Han saw the words "Geniuses are always more courageous in the face of setbacks; welcome to challenge the tower again" on the wall in front of him, he was immediately unable to remain calm.

It failed.

He actually failed!

How could that be!

He couldn't even get past the fifth floor of the Nine-Story Tower!

"Again."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Han quickly got up and left.

He refused to believe that he would really be stuck on the fifth floor.

But soon, another embarrassing situation arose when they tried again.

His remaining light was so faint that he couldn't even enter the third level again.

His failure to reach the fifth level caused him to lose most of his luster.

"Without the light, it seems the conventional methods won't work."

Qin Han looked at the statue guarding the door, and an idea flashed through his mind.

If we could destroy this statue, would we not need to consume light?

Just as a living person can't die from holding their pee, Qin Han can't be trapped by a lack of brilliance.

At that moment, Qin Han made a decisive decision to give it a try.

Brush.

With a flash of light, the greatsword appeared in his hand. With a gentle shake, flames surged, illuminating the surrounding area.
