Chapter 540 - Ruin in an Unknown Dimension (1/2)

It was not at all easy to conquer the ten levels, even for these prodigies. Two hours later, another prodigy from Dragon Capital called Pang Ruo emerged through the tunnel. He was only at D4-tier and obviously not on the same level as Long Gan. Nonetheless, he was no less one of the outstanding prodigies around here and left nothing behind to reach the top.

One could only work harder when coming up short in talent.

Another person emerged after another three hours. It was the apt.i.tude user from the Western Region—Ai Duo!

Ai Duo rushed toward them and was equally baffled when he saw the badge on Qin Feng’s chest.

The tower guardian peeked at Ai Duo and said, “There’s only one hour left. Get rested quickly.”

Ai Duo did not understand the meaning behind it. He was only an average talent and Ge Lang would not have told him much.

Despite having doubts, Ai Duo complied too and quickly entered meditation to restore his stamina.

Another hour pa.s.sed and no one else stepped onto the tenth level after Ai Duo.

Though Zhou Hao and Jin Fei were pretty good, they did not cut it in the end. They still had a lot to improve on and would perhaps fare better next year.

Other notable candidates from the Northern region that had been placed with high expectations such as Han Jun, Du Wa, and Li w.a.n.gshen were also still stuck at level 8. It would not be possible to overcome the last two levels in such a short time.

“So there are six candidates this year. Not too bad!”

“There’s even a C2-tier among you. This year is going to be interesting.”

“I agree. Let’s see their performances in the next stage.”

The top bra.s.ses were paying close attention to the compet.i.tion.

When the time was up, the tower guardian opened his eyes and said, “This is called the Tower of Dragon Gate because it symbolizes your first test before you get to leap through the gate and evolve.”

“Every year this time, a special dimension would be opened here. The qualified prodigies, like you all, are allowed to enter and explore it.”

“But once you face insurmountable danger, please immediately return through the waymark. All of you are the future pillars of the Human Alliance. Your life is too precious to be thrown away this young. Always remember this, there is nothing compared to your future and your value to the people who need your protection.”

The tower guardian lectured them solemnly. Six of them listened attentively and nodded gravely in response. They were then given not one but three beacons as an extra precaution.

After that, the tower guardian was seen pressing a b.u.t.ton. Abruptly, they realized that the s.p.a.ce above them had opened up like a blossoming flower.

A strong gale thrusted violently through the opening. Normal people would have been blown away by the wind. Even the air in the surroundings had become thinner. The clouds had seemingly gotten a lot closer to the ground as well.

Qin Feng felt a sudden gush of energy plummeting down from the sky. He looked up and saw silver radiance gus.h.i.+ng downward gradually like a waterfall captured in slow motion.

Powerful energy was constantly being emanated from the spatial rift. The energy was so great that it immediately flooded the entire tower.

Qin Feng could visualize the energy as if it were being poured into the Dragon Capital. He finally understood why the Dragon Capital architecture looked like the shape of a giant bowl. It was designed in such a way so that the outpouring energy from the rift could all be retained within the city.

Qin Feng wasted no time and activated his ability.

Absorb!

Instantly, the still swirling energy was being forcefully pulled toward Qin Feng and a.s.similated by him.

Qin Feng’s physique became even stronger.

His skin, muscles, bones, and internal organs were absorbing the natural essence greedily.

Boom!

Qin Feng directly broke through into the next stage under such a tremendous source of energy.

C3-tier! He could hardly hide his bursting aura.
