" Valerian Solar system, territory of the Astral Empire ... Long Hai training Hall huh. Whatever plot armor is working for me is really working. Looks like I don’t have to struggle to find one of these training halls anymore "
It seemed he had appeared in the territory of the Astral Empire and at the outer perimeter of one of the training halls he had decided to search for ,for his training .
" If I want to appear in a territory outside the Astral Empire,I’ll have to pay with universe coins? Nevermind, for now this is fine. let’s focus on pressing matters. After that I can spend some time with Arrie and the others before I log out "
Kailen was about pulling up the map again when he saw many individuals-some humans ,elves,gnomes ,dwarves amongst others from different races crowding towards a particular spot.
" What’s going on over there?"
On hearing him mutter these words to himself ,probably due to the perks of being an awakener, a stranger with a human body and bunny ears with fur all over their skin replied him impatienty, his hands pointing excitedly at a particular direction .
" Someone just cleared the beginner stage ascendant level version of the Long Hai training Hall’s tower to the 70th level. Although it’s not the first time something like that has happened, it’s a tyranical feat.Everyone is gathering there to enjoy the show"
Before Kailen could even thank the stranger for the information, the indiviual turned into a streak of light and bolted towards a particular direction.
Kailen stared at the direction where the stranger had pointed.
A skyscraper peered through the clouds, it’s summit nowhere visible.
" This is one of the towers I read about huh.
I purposely came to the virtual universe to train in one of the towers of these training halls.
Heard they are really helpful. Time to put the Asura Enlightenment Physique to use as the Crimson Devil"
Kailen moved towards where the crowd had gathered.
He did not enjoy keeping his identity hidden, however he had a bounty on his head. This was the only choice he had at the moment .
But since , he had to familiarise himself further with the Asura Enlightenment Physique ,he could only do so with this disguised identity .
The virtual universe was currently the best place to do that.
" Hey. How much do I have to pay to be able to watch the challenge ?" Someone asked someone .
" Just a couple of 5 universe coins?"
" Fuck ... Do you think five universe coins is a small amount of money. I’m not from a rich family like you you know"
The other fellow scoffed " Whatever , you can just stare at the clearing bar for entertainment. As for me,I’m gonna watch the challenge"
" Interesting " Kailen couldn’t help but comment inwardly on hearing their short interaction .
" These Long Hai training Hall guys really know how to make money. To even watch the challenge of the one clearing the tower, people have to pay money, else their only option is to just watch the progress of the one challenging the tower via the bar over there indicating that the individual has moved to the next level or have given up on clearing the tower"
Kailen stared at the large holographic bar in the sky floating across the tower ,indicating that the individual was currently still at level 70.
" Question is how do I challenge the tower?"
On hearing him mutter to himself , a couple of individuals couldn’t help but snicker.
" Hehe .. another newbie who thinks he can challenge the tower"
" Heh. They are all . Once they spend all their universe coins losing over and over again after attempting to challenge the tower,they will probably get a PTSD and steer clear of the tower"
" He’s a puny rank 1 beginner stage Ascendant level lifeform too. I bet he will fail on the first level of the beginner stage ascendant level version of the tower. After losing several times on the first level,he will just give up"
" Hehe. My bet is he will literally micturate himself or shit his pants and give up in less than ten seconds "
" I’ll bet he won’t even last 50 seconds "
Ignoring the contemptuous gazes and words of mockery since he simply didn’t care what these idiots thought , Kailen with his disguised human identity , mused to himself " From their words , one can challenge the tower with universe coins. I presume each level has a certain amount of univese coins one has to invest to challenge the tower. Also ,each level has a version of the tower one ca challenge. Rank 1 beginner stage ascendant level has a version of the tower one can challenge all the way up the power systems. Let’s give it a try"
Kailen ignored the audience ,some focused on watching the one challenging the tower-having paid to watch the challenge ,and others who could only stare at the clearing bar .
Others were also staring at him with concept and ridicule .
A rank 1 beginner stage Ascendant level lifeform dared to attempt to challenge the beginner stage ascendant level version of the tower?
Did this bastard have some screws lose in the head or something?
Some of the spectators too, were not at the beginner stage Ascendant level. They were either at the intermediate stage Ascendant level and supreme ascendant level.
However they had come here to scout for potential talents for their organisations ,guilds amongst others.
Kailen however ,ignored the gazes of the crowd ,then headed into the tower.
The moment he entered the building, Kailen suddenly floated in the air under the weight of some power . He suddenly found himself in the clouds with a holographic screen before him .
[ Scanning complete. Challenge chosen.
Suitable challenge for challenger -Rank 1 beginner stage Ascendant level version of the tower.
Kindly pay with 50 universe coins to challenge the first level of the rank 1 beginner stage ascendant level version of the tower.]
Kailen didn’t waste anytime.
He quickly paid the universe coins .
[ Good luck challenger.
Challenge begins in 5...4...3...2....1]
