Chapter 342: Chapter 339: Doubting Life.jpg

Yan Dingtian originally didn’t dare to claim he could reach the eightieth floor in one go, but now, after watching Lin Qingtian’s livestream, he had no doubts about his most direct understanding of the “Trial Tower.”

Ordinary people would indeed find it difficult.

However, he was a Transcendent! Having transcended the mundane realm, even if his level was suppressed, his control over power had reached perfection, and his judgement of the battle situation was far beyond what these youngsters could compare with…

After witnessing Lin Qingtian’s attempt, Yan Dingtian couldn’t help but acknowledge that the performance was not bad… Unfortunately, in his eyes, there were still many shortcomings, which explained why the other had stopped at the forty-sixth layer.

He took steps forward, radiating an aura known as ‘loneliness of experts.’ The others around him paused, all guessing where this master had sprung from, while a few with sharp perception even felt a fatal threat emanating from this odd young man who referred to himself as ‘I.’

Suddenly,

Yan Dingtian stood in front of the touch screen, his fingers pinching the card frozen mid-air.

——The rooms were all occupied, how was he supposed to challenge the “Trial Tower”?

…

The awkward situation didn’t last too long. Fortunately, an Awakener exited a room, leaving a spot open that others didn’t rush to fill, but rather yielded.

They were more eager to see if this boastful person had real strength.

Seeing more strategies would also likely help with their subsequent challenges.

…

Yan Dingtian walked down the corridor and soon found the corresponding room.

The room was very small, only a few square meters, without any decorations, it was empty but didn’t feel constricted.

He looked around, unable to find any secret; he then closed his eyes and relaxed his mind, as Wang Zhou had instructed.

Quickly,

Thump~ Thump!

A vast world enveloped him, connecting with his spirit, a suction force acted upon his mind, Yan Dingtian did not resist, and the next second, when he opened his eyes, he found himself in a gray and dim space.

There was no sky, no earth. Apart from where he stood, farther away was a pervasive gray fog.

“What exactly is Spirit Space…”

Not starting the trial immediately, Yan Dingtian swung his fists, letting Source Power flow throughout his body, his face in disbelief, “There’s no sense of surrealism at all, even the Transcendent Tier’s force field can’t detect any flaws, it’s truly inconceivable… utterly inconceivable!”

The Void beneath his feet was like solid ground, unyielding to any further descent. Yan Dingtian tried to fly and encountered no obstacles.

He reached the edge of the gray fog, concentrated his Perception for a while, and reached out a hand into it.

In that moment, he finally felt the unreality. His arm, which had entered the gray fog, visibly became ethereal and blurred to the naked eye, and Yan Dingtian even felt that his spiritual body couldn’t maintain itself in the space, and if he continued, he might be directly ejected.

He withdrew his hand.

“This is merely the Transfer Station; I’ve heard that in ‘Endless Mode,’ even outdoor environments can be perfectly materialized. How is that achieved? How can it allow people to die and come back to life?”

“The Three Great Countries can’t do it, those Mages who love research most can’t do it…” Yan Dingtian fell into deep contemplation, “Could it be, as they say, Architecture Ability Users… can turn the impossible into possible?”

He wanted to explore further, but after thinking it over, it seemed he had just issued a bold statement, with a crowd of people waiting to watch outside. If he chickened out now, his reputation… he would no longer have one in the future.

…

Circular hall.

Lin Qingtian had already exited the room and was sitting in a corner in contemplation. The others were discussing fervently, and after more than ten minutes, no image had appeared on the livestream… Could they have been deceived?

At that moment,

*Beep*, the “Trial Tower” scenario appeared before the eyes of all the Awakeners. Those who had challenged it before recognized at a glance that this was the First Layer scene, where a Demonized Bee, comparable only to the Basic Period of the First Layer, gradually became visible.

“It took so long to start, could he have gone to the bathroom? But even constipation shouldn’t take tens of minutes, right?”

Some people murmured while others stared unblinkingly at the screen.

From the First Layer to the Tenth Layer, just like when Lin Qingtian ran through the levels, seemed very easy. The young man stood still without moving, and any enemy that approached was killed by him with lightning speed, a one-strike kill.

From the Eleventh to the Twentieth Layer, the figure in the screen still appeared to be quite relaxed. The watching Awakeners finally believed that he was indeed a skilled expert, and not some big bluff who claimed to be “I”. His performance in the first twenty layers was not the slightest bit inferior to Lin Qingtian.

Lin Qingtian, who sat in the corner deep in thought, stood up at some point and walked in front of a battle screen, his expression focused.

From the Twenty-First Layer upwards, the gap began to show… Despite the platform constantly changing, the young man in the screen could not always stand in one place, but his movements were smooth and fluid, drawing gasps of admiration.

“So amazing, at the same level, why can he perform so excellently!”

“This movement, this posture, they’re going to leave Commander Lin… cough, leave us behind by who knows how many streets.”

They stared intently, with some taking out notebooks to jot down some key moves.

The challenge was easy, and the speed was very fast; soon, he had reached the thirtieth something layers, with the young man on screen still looking as if he could handle it with ease.

At this moment,

Inside the “Trial Tower,” Yan Dingtian was actually sweating.

Just the thirtieth something layers, and he was already starting to feel a bit of pressure—how could this be?!

He had just been watching what’s-his-name’s livestream; not to mention the thirtieth something layers, even the Forty-Sixth Layer seemed trivial to him. There must be something wrong!

He overlooked one thing; when watching the livestream, he was a Transcendent Strongman, like a giant looking down on a child’s challenge, no matter how difficult it felt simple. But now, he turned from a giant into a child… In an instant, he was not feeling well at all!

Time ticked by, and Yan Dingtian had already broken the War Alliance Commander’s record.

Reaching the Fifty-First Layer, he gasped for breath, stepping rapidly in place, not daring to stop for a moment… The platform under his feet was spinning at high speed!

Some platforms were covered with spikes, with only a small clump in the middle where one could stand, and red lasers occasionally flashed across the sky. Proud flying ability users would be punctured like a beehive here.

To the left and right, two human-shaped Puppets with swords drawn inched closer, then suddenly, the Puppets reached to their waists, pulling out large-caliber Rune Guns, and after two “bangs” they fired.

“F*ck,” Yan Dingtian never expected to be faked out by a Puppet, rolling and hurriedly leaping to another platform.

He hadn’t been hit, yet he looked extremely disheveled.

“My heroic image is ruined by you all… Ouch, f*ck!”

The style of the trial suddenly turned sharply, from the initial smooth and easygoing, to frantic scrambling and unmitigated awkwardness.

The Awakeners outside watched Yan Dingtian’s figure, taking it all in.

To be fair, to still be struggling in such a torturous trial, even pushing towards higher levels, this person was definitely a big shot.

But why did they feel a twitch at the corners of their mouths, barely holding back a laugh?

“It’s finally over.”

“The Sixtieth Layer, he’s a real boss!”

“Where did this boss pop up from? Could it be, like those top-ranked ones, he’s a hidden expert from an unseen Sanctuary?”

At the doorway, Yan Dingtian walked out step by step.

The Awakeners exchanged glances of admiration but were shocked to see that Yan Dingtian, coming out of the “Trial Tower,” had a face full of conflict, gloom, and confusion…

Already doubting his life.

How could I possibly only make it to the Sixtieth Layer!
