"System, what's going on? How did it suddenly skyrocket to the highest level?!"
Su Xiaobai was stunned at first, but then his face lit up with joy.
"Host, the three cultivation techniques you provided seem to have some special properties. The One-Click Cultivation Space can comprehend all their principles in an extremely short time and directly reach the highest level!"
The system's response was something Su Xiaobai couldn't quite understand.
But one thing was crystal clear—any cultivation technique obtained from the Virtual Network could be placed in the One-Click Cultivation Space, skipping the beginner, intermediate, and advanced stages to reach the highest level in an instant!
"If that's the case, doesn't that mean I can instantly master any technique to the highest level with ease?!"
A surge of uncontrollable excitement welled up in Su Xiaobai's heart.
What did reaching the highest level instantly mean?
It means I don't have to toil like other cultivators from different realms—practicing tirelessly, analyzing, contemplating, and painstakingly comprehending cultivation techniques over long periods.
All I have to do is accumulate enough training points, visit the Cultivation Technique Hall, buy as many techniques as possible, place them into the One-Click Cultivation Space, wait a short while, and—boom!—the technique would be mastered at its highest level!
With this, his strength would skyrocket like a rocket in mere moments!
At this thought, Su Xiaobai could no longer contain his ecstasy and burst into laughter on the spot.
A three-horned alien nearby looked at him with a bewildered expression.
Did this guy just get scared stupid by what he had said earlier?
"Thanks for clearing things up. Now, I should go challenge the Illusory Tower!"
With that, he turned and flew toward the entrance of the Illusory Tower.
"Kid, I am Dong He Duan. What's your name?"
The three-horned alien called out from behind.
"Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon!" Get full chapters from novel·fıre·net
Su Xiaobai casually reported his secondary alias before stepping into the Illusory Tower without looking back.
"Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon… That's quite a nice name!"
"But I should focus on my own progress. Damn it, I was so close! Just a little more and I could've made it into the top 100 to earn rewards!"
Led by the staff, Su Xiaobai entered the Illusory Tower and stepped into the Gate of Illusions.
According to the staff, the challenges inside the Illusory Tower take place in an entirely different world—allowing participants to unleash their full power without worrying about destruction.
"This truly is another world entirely!"
As soon as Su Xiaobai stepped through the Gate of Illusions, he felt the ground beneath him soften. This was no longer a concrete floor, but a vast desert of barren soil.
The world stretched endlessly, with nothing but rugged, towering rocks—stripped of any plants or trees, removing all distractions from battle.
"Welcome to the first floor of the Illusory Tower!"
A mechanical voice from the Virtual Network echoed.
"Please choose your weapon!"
A list of weapons appeared in a floating window.
"Can I pick two weapons?"
Su Xiaobai's thoughts stirred.
"You may choose as many as you like!"
"In that case, give me a long blade and a Psychic Flying Shield!"
As a dual cultivator of both martial arts and psychic abilities, Su Xiaobai naturally wanted to combine and maximize the advantages of both professions.
Two weapons materialized out of thin air.
Both were basic spirit weapons.
Su Xiaobai placed the Psychic Flying Shield on the ground and swung his long blade.
"The first-floor challenge begins!"
As the Virtual Network's mechanical voice rang out, three massive tigers covered in frost emerged from the distance, their bloody maws open as they roared at Su Xiaobai.
Facing three of them at once would be overwhelming for an ordinary Martial Commander…
The difficulty was no joke from the very start!
But for Su Xiaobai, this was nothing.
His gaze sharpened, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
His figure suddenly lunged forward at breakneck speed, his long blade glowing red with an ominous aura—
"First Kill—Dragon Slayer!"
Three arcs of blood-red light streaked across the air.
The three S-rank alien beasts were instantly cleaved in half—dead on the spot.
"First floor cleared! Reward: 100 training points!"
"Would you like to proceed to the second floor?"
Although he was moving to the second floor, the environment remained unchanged.
The only difference was that the three S-rank alien beasts had vanished—replaced by five new ones.
"Oh? Familiar faces!"
The new S-rank alien beasts were Tri-Horned Flame Rhinos, ones Su Xiaobai had encountered before at Base 18!
"I killed you once before, guess I'll just do it again!"
Su Xiaobai smirked as he launched himself forward like a cannonball, his long blade flashing once more!
Su Xiaobai effortlessly swept through ten floors without breaking a sweat.
The number of enemies kept increasing—from three to five, seven, ten, fifteen… They grew stronger as well.
But for Su Xiaobai, they were nothing.
He didn't even need his blade—just a flick of his finger was enough.
With a single spark, a sea of flames erupted, engulfing all the alien beasts in an instant!
After all, he was an elite Martial Commander, and his three Lesser Transcendent cultivation techniques had already been pushed to the highest level.
Clearing ten floors? Child's play!
"Tenth floor cleared! Reward: 100 training points!"
"Bonus: You have earned one Spirit-Level Cultivation Technique!"
"Please select your technique!"
A familiar selection window appeared.
Su Xiaobai didn't hesitate and chose a Lesser Transcendent Strength Technique—Light-Slaying Jade Shatter Technique!
He initially wanted to select a special attribute technique like 'Qiankun Technique', since such techniques were almost as valuable as Great Transcendent Techniques!
But, of course, the Virtual Network wasn't that easy to fool.
It only offered elemental techniques like Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Ice, Storm, and Poison.
Even Lightning Techniques had to be purchased with training points.
Considering this, Su Xiaobai opted for 'Light-Slaying Jade Shatter Technique', which enhanced his explosive strength.
"'Light-Slaying Jade Shatter Technique' selected!"
A physical copy of the technique dropped into Su Xiaobai's hands.
"Virtual Network, I now have 1,000 training points. Can I exchange them for another technique right here?"
"You may exchange immediately!"
Without hesitation, Su Xiaobai exchanged 1,000 points for another technique—
'Qiankun Technique'—the complete micro-level Space Attribute Technique!
