Chapter 408 - Yuan Family Girl (2/2)

Su Ping squinted his eyes and gazed at the glow on the dragon bone tower. The fifth bone had lit up. Merely one to two minutes had pa.s.sed since he sensed someone entering the dragon bone tower. The girl was surely climbing up without stopping for a moment. The fifth dragon bone was formidable enough to stop many talents.

Reaching the fifth bone was hard even for Tang Ruyan.

As for the sixth bone, Tang Ruyan would not pa.s.s it no matter how hard she tried.

As Su Ping was pondering, the sixth dragon bone was lit up.

That was fast.

The one at the first place on the Pioneer’s Ranking could only reach the sixth dragon bone and that record had just been broken.

There had been no new names added to the Pioneer’s Ranking recently. Therefore, that girl had not been included in the ranking since it was unrelated to the Dragon King; the listing was administered by the financial group that was secretly controlling the Mysterious Realm. They used the dragon bone tower as a place to test one’s strength; it was also a tool for them to attract talents from various places.

Of course, the attracted talents at Tang Ruyan’s level would merely function as scapegoats.

The Tang Family had only sent over Tang Ruyan, not their actual future family head. That was probably because the Tang Family was aware of the secrets.

Soon, the seventh dragon bone was lit up.

Su Ping looked at the time. Only two minutes had pa.s.sed. The girl was as fast as he was back then.

Surprised by the shocking speed, the people standing outside were conversing in a low voice.

“It is a pity that I can’t see the inside clearly.”

How vexing He tried it several times but the strange bubble didn’t change the view to the inside of the dragon bone tower. He couldn’t manipulate it. This might be a mechanism to protect the girl who was climbing the tower. After all, once this girl succeeded, she would become Su Ping’s compet.i.tor. Indeed, it wouldn’t be fair if Su Ping could see this girl fighting and climbing.

Su Ping had to be patient and at the same time, ready himself for the upcoming fight. He believed that after the girl climbed to the final bone, the remaining two dragon scale lands would be opened up.

The old man’s subordinates might have been already waiting at the seal of the remaining two dragon scale lands.

When the challenge succeeded, the seals would be undone and the girl would gain the upper hand. Yuan Tianchen surely had the belief that this sudden move would catch Su Ping off guard.

So, the old man wasn’t aware of the legacy mark’s effect.

Maybe the tower had already been heavily guarded to stop him from entering; that way the girl would be able to pocket the legacy to herself.

The eighth dragon bone was lit up some time later.

Su Ping looked at the time. Still, two minutes.

He was worried. The girl surely had saved up some strength! As the eighth dragon bone was lit up, the many people guarding outside the tower were becoming excited. Su Ping squinted his eyes. The girl had made it to the ninth dragon bone. He could tell that she would finish at any time and stand in front of him.

Time moved on, bit by bit.

Soon, five minutes pa.s.sed.

All of a sudden, from the image projected on the bubble, he could see a beam of glaring golden light burst out from the ninth dragon bone.

The ninth dragon bone had been lit up!

She pa.s.sed the test!

Su Ping looked to the left where the air was trembling. A slim figure walked out. She was wearing an azure armor for women and holding a sharp sword in her hand. She was panting and staggering. It seemed to be a girl of about 17 or 18 years of age.

Su Ping wasn’t all that surprised. After all, the higher one’s rank was, the more difficult the challenge would be. The dragon bone tower had been established to test one’s apt.i.tude after all.

He could faintly tell that the girl was also at the sixth rank, similar to his strength!

As such, the girl could easily defeat battle pet warriors when she was at the sixth rank, and she could compare to a battle pet warrior at the upper position of the t.i.tled rank!

If she were to partic.i.p.ate in the Elite League, she could have had a chance at the global champions.h.i.+p!

Su Ping sized up the girl. As the girl was trying to catch her breath, she suddenly realized something was off. She looked up and saw Su Ping who was standing not far from her.

The surprised look froze on her face.

Seeing her standing there in a daze, Su Ping put on a solemn look and said in a low but awe-inspiring voice, “Art thou the human seeking my legacy?”
