Chapter 10 (2/2)

Zhao Mingwei had assumed a stance, prepared to face the special monster of the dungeon… but after two seconds, the arena boulders suddenly split apart, whereas a tower rose rapidly in its center.

Then, the boulders on the ground began to float without any form of sequence beneath the control of an unseen power.

Jiang Qiao could see the challenge of the special dungeon right then too.

It was to climb to the top of the tower.

“Isn’t that a platform game?” Jiang Qiao glanced at the tower, which interior was hollow—to climb it, the player has to step on each of the floating boulders.

Be that as it may, there was no order of the boulder arrangement, and they would switch positions from time to time.

“He seems to be smiling.” Ocean Blue caught the look on Zhao Mingwei’s face when he cleared the quest.

It was a leisurely smile.

“Probably because professional players usually trained like this.”

Jiang Qiao whirled a circle in the air using his spectral form.

For normal people, it was a great challenge for their body’s reflexes to climb the tower on those boulders. Anyone a little clumsy would probably drop the abyss beneath after leaping around ten meters.

That being said, professional VR game players were different—such content could be included in their day-to-day training, making them comparable to athletes.

Zhao Mingwei was clearly an outstanding figure even amongst professional players. With the agility of a fighter, he leapt and easily landed on a hovering boulder.

The boulder barely sank an inch when he pushed down on his foot to leap again, reaching a higher boulder.

Zhao Mingwei was showing Jiang Qiao the play of a great parkour athlete.

He never stopped moving once, landing one second and jumping to a higher boulder the next, a chain of movements that left Jiang Qiao in awe.

Be that as it may, the time limit for the challenge was five minutes, with the numbers of boulders decreasing continuously. It was when there were around ten meters left from the top of the tower that Zhao Mingwei finally made the first mistake—stepping on a boulder that was too small, which caused him to slip.

It came at a great cost—he slammed down heavily on the ground from over hundreds of meters above. The number -3256 appeared over his head and his HP bar was immediately empty.

Nonetheless, he chose to resurrect on the spot and made his second attempt without further ado.

He was also much more careful, and was not underestimating the challenge at all. Then, at the same distance when he failed last time, he ran into the same problem of having no landing spot.

However, just as he was about to fall again since the boulder that he landed on could not take his weight, he quickly caught hold of a rock floating over him, before finding a new stepping stone to his left. With that, he leapt up to the edge of the tower, extending his hand to catch its edge and climb over it with a little effort.

That was when he was welcomed by a creature seemingly formed from lightning that was at once a dragon and a tiger.

Zhao Mingwei assumed a combat stance, but cursed inwardly when he saw that the creature was Level 50.

Even so, the tiger-dragon did not attack him.

“You have completed my trial with excellence, challenger.” A mighty voice spoke right beside Zhao Mingwei’s ears. “You have what it takes to inherit my power.

[Aura Bender class advancement quest completed.]

[Accept?]

Zhao Mingwei did not think and clicked the [Accept] button right away, and the enormous creature turned into thunder and lightning, streaming into his body.

He definitely felt a special power appearing in his body then, nourishing him!

He quickly turned on his skill and attribute interface to check for new skills after his class advancement.
