Chapter 524: Dao Tower (3) (2/2)

In front of him, he also saw the silhouette of a young man that had started to materialize at the same time.

And yet, Shun Long didn't pay too much attention to the man who had started to appear in front of him, as he stared at his own hands with a look filled with disbelief.

His cultivation seemed to have returned to the early rank 1 of the Heaven grade, but this wasn't the biggest change that he sensed.

Instead, it was the qi inside him that felt completely different from the qi in his body back in the real world.

Shun Long sensed that the qi inside this body that was made by motes of light, was much weaker and circulated much slower compared to his real qi.

When you and your opponent both have your cultivation base restricted at the early rank 1 of the Nascent Soul, while having the same amount of qi inside your bodies as well as the same qi purity, the only difference between the 2 of you would be the martial skills that you know and the Dao that you have comprehended.

However, due to how slowly the qi inside his body was now circulating, Shun Long instantly realized that it was impossible for him to use even Yellow-grade martial skills, let alone Mystic-grade and Saint-grade ones.

It was only at this moment that Shun Long truly realized why the Dao Tower was rumored to test nothing but the Dao that a cultivator has comprehended, while a complicated feeling started to rise in his heart at the same time.

After all, fighting like this was indeed no different than fighting with shackles around your entire body.

And yet, a moment later, Shun Long quickly shook his head, as a look filled with fighting intent appeared inside his eyes before he mumbled to himself

''This is good as well. This place is truly perfect for me to advance my Dao of Space!''

As he came to this conclusion, Shun Long stared at the figure of the young man in front of him that had fully materialized itself as well.

It was a young man dressed in brown robes, with short black hair and a solidly built body. However, Shun Long was unable to discern any details from his face.

Indeed, this was the protection that the Dao Tower offered to its participants.

As long as one wanted to keep their identity hidden, no one could force that person to reveal it.

At that moment, Shun Long saw the young man in front of him take a look at the hall around them before he turned his attention towards him.

Taking a step forward, the young man's foot suddenly stomped on the ground, actually creating a small fissure on the floor of the palace hall.

The fissure rapidly expanded as it moved towards Shun Long, and from the palace's depths, tree branches of various sizes some of them as thin as a person's finger while some of them as thick as a human's thigh emerged from the fissure, as they moved to surround Shun Long, blocking all paths of retreat.
