Chapter 535 The Winners Rights (2/2)
Grinning maliciously, she added, ”I'll give you one more chance. Give yourself up, or you'll have a really hard time.”
Darren looked her up and down, as calm as ever. ”How many more times are you going to say that, you brat? You are so annoying.”
”How dare you talk back to me!” the girl retorted. ”Watch this!” The girl waved her purple sword, cutting flashing sword trails through the air.
A mighty swor
ra changed completely. Though she kept speaking, her voice was low, monotonous, and more like that of a machine than a human being.
”Congratulations, challenger. You have defeated the guardian of the third floor. According to the rules, you now have the right to know the following information.
As the challenger proceeds through the Starry Tower, he or she is allowed to seek out the treasure on each floor after defeating its guardian. The victorious challenger is also allowed to stay on that floor for one year to cultivate.
During that time, he or she can ask the defeated guardian for information about the protector of the next floor, and also ask to be taught new skills. The defeated guardian is not allowed to decline.”

Spotting a nearby twig, he stuck it in his mouth and chewed on it, ready to listen.
”Uh-uh! No, I am not going to tell you.”
Anna Gu was red-cheeked with rage, but she knew she could not break the rules of the Starry Tower. It took her only a moment to settle down again, and she began to talk.
