Chapter 127: Size Matters (2/2)

Hui-ying then responded soon after. Her voice was so fidgety that for a moment, I thought she was the one getting nervous instead of me. ”Yongrui, actually I— ”

”You what?”

”I was the one who created this dungeon.”

.....

And yes, Hui-ying just dropped the bomb just like that.

Once again, I stopped dead in my tracks as I tried to figure out what Hui-ying meant by her statement. If what she said was true, then that means she purposefully created this dungeon just so she could store away some of her treasures for herself. And if that were really the case, then that means I would greatly benefit from it.. assuming that I could clear it, of course.

”Then, if you really did create this dungeon. Can you tell me everything about it? And also, what's the difficulty level of this dungeon?”

”Yongrui, don't be surprised but... ” Hui-ying began. ”The difficulty level of this dungeon is Eight. And its a Void Tower dungeon so it's filled with spirit beasts with the Element of Space.”

”So its difficulty level Eight. Then I need at least a team of cultivators in the Dao Realm or higher. Why did you put the difficulty so high, Hui-ying? How can we conquer this tower then?”

”We can't. But I know of a shortcut that can get us straight to the last room where the rewards are. But, there's a very powerful guardian waiting for us there so we have to be careful. For now, we can just scout the first floor and then make a move tomorrow after the tournament. You need those Elemental Orbs, right? We can't afford to get injured right now since we have the semi-finals and the finals coming up tomorrow. And also, have you don'e your daily quests, yet?”

Liu Zhi and the others started to look around the first floor while I just casually stood on one corner as I conversed with Hui-ying. It's obvious that Hui-ying was telling me the truth and she was actually the one who created the dungeon. Although I'm a bit surprised that she ramped up the difficulty level of the place for personal reasons, I was jut relieved that Hui-ying was with me. If I didn't know better, I would've dived straight into the Void Tower and ultimately kill myself. If there really were hundreds of Titanium Rank Spirit Beasts here, then that means there's no way someone could clear this dungeon.

Unless of course, they have a guide of some sort like Hui-ying who knows the ins and outs of the place. I'm lucky that Hui-ying was on my side. If not then I would have died a long time ago due to my recklessness.

”I can do it later, Hui-ying. It's just easy and I already found the easiest way to complete it. These daily quests seemed hard at first but now they aren't.” I confidently said.

”I know, just don't forget to complete it before the day ends. Otherwise we'll get ourselves into deeper trouble than this Void Tower.” Hui-ying softly reprimanded me.

I blindly followed Liu Zhi and the others as we explored the rest of the first floor. It was just a plain room with nothing in it, sort of like a preparation room for the trials and tribulation down below. Needless to say, there was nothing we could find here unless we commence going down.

And as if reading my mind, Liu Zhi approached me with a straight face. ”There's nothing here. Should we head down?” Liu Zhi asked as Blade and Wu Yan rejoined us.

I immediately related Liu Zhi's question to Hui-ying.

”No, we can't go down. It will be instant death if we did.” Hui-ying gravely warned. She was legitimately afraid for our lives.

”We can't.” I simply answered. ”I'm sensing a powerful presence on the next floor under. And I think it's on par with Transcendence Realm cultivators. I suggest we pull out for now and continue our investigation tomorrow.”

Of course, I lied as naturally as I breathed.

”Then we'll trust you and pull out for now.” Liu Zhi said although he didn't detect any powerful presence down below.

And as for Wu Yan and Blade, they also couldn't detect a speckle of presence on the next floor. That's why they were left confused just as Liu Zhi was.
