Almost instantly, Guan Wen reacted. The fire power on his body was withdrawn, and then the power within his body was switched to time power.

In an instant, as the time-manipulation ability spread out, the opponent's fist slowed down in his eyes. Everything within the time domain affected by it slowed down for a very short time. Therefore, Guan Wen moved suddenly the instant the opponent's fist slowed down, dodging the trajectory of the fist, and then his own fist shot out at the same time.

Bang!

As the effects of the time-manipulation ability wore off, the fist grazed past Guan Wen, who then delivered a powerful punch to the opponent's face.

The energy entity's face exploded with a loud bang, and it flew backward like a spinning top, crashing hard into a distant wall before quickly dissipating without a trace.

Breakthrough at the thirtieth level!

Almost simultaneously, a door opened on the wall in the distance, and the thirtieth floor of the Battle Tower lit up!

The onlookers outside the Battle Tower cheered involuntarily upon seeing this scene.

"He's broken through to the thirtieth level!"

"This is too exaggerated! I thought he would fail on the third floor, but he actually made it through the thirtieth floor. Every step he takes is breaking the record for our Maple Leaf Middle School's combat power tower!"

"Who exactly is this guy? I can't wait to find out his name!"

More and more people gathered below, and when the thirtieth level of the battle tower lit up, everyone was in an uproar.

In the distance of the playground, a lonely figure suddenly walked over. If Guan Wen were there, he would definitely recognize that this was Ye Ruqiu at a glance.

Ye Ruqiu was as unlucky as ever today. He hadn't even stayed in Tiannan City for more than a day when he was ambushed and killed. He was then forced to teleport back from the myriad worlds, having gained nothing.

In fact, if Ye Ruqiu hadn't relied on her father's connections, she would never have been able to get into the elite class. At best, she would have been at the bottom of the honors class, or even just a nobody in the regular class.

She felt quite depressed every day when she interacted with her classmates in the elite class, because everyone else made progress every day, especially her best friend Hua Qingyue, whose progress was simply astonishing. She even managed to save herself in the same world several times and gain a lot of resources and opportunities.

In comparison, she was utterly useless, and it was precisely because of this disparity that she felt somewhat depressed every time she was teleported back.

She was taking a walk on the playground, trying to relieve her frustration, when she suddenly heard the sound of cheering crowds in the distance.

She couldn't help but feel quite strange; what were these guys doing outside the combat power tower?

But just as she raised her head and looked at the power tower, she suddenly froze on the spot.

The thirtieth floor of the Power Tower was lit up, and before the thirtieth floor's power tower could go out, the thirty-first floor's power tower lit up again, which at the same time triggered another round of cheers from the crowd in front of the power tower.

Ye Ruqiu was completely stunned; she never expected to witness such an astonishing scene.

The Battle Power Tower has reached level 30. This is a level that even my best friend, the top genius in the elite class, hasn't been able to break through. Hua Qingyue's highest breakthrough was level 19, and this level 30 is more than a dozen levels higher than Hua Qingyue's. Doesn't this mean that the person who is trying to break through the Battle Power Tower is someone that even Hua Qingyue can't catch up to?

What's going on here?!

She went into the crowd to inquire and learned that no one knew who this person in the Battle Power Tower was; everyone was attracted by the tower's high number of floors.

She looked up and saw that while the power tower on the thirty-first floor was still lit up, the thirty-second floor lit up.

Next are the thirty-third floor and the thirty-fourth floor.

...

The guy who was climbing the battle power tower was steadily improving, at a leisurely pace.

Seeing that each step he took broke the entire record for the number of floors in the Power Tower, Ye Ruqiu couldn't help but gasp. It felt like a dream.

"When will I be able to become such a genius?" she couldn't help but daydream.

Meanwhile, Fang Ming, who was watching Guan Wen's challenge in the monitoring room, was also sitting in a chair. At this moment, he was almost numb, a numbness that came after being extremely shocked.

He now fully understood just how high-level the kid who had challenged him was.

This guy is absolutely a genius, and at his current pace, reaching the 39th floor is almost a certainty, and he even has a good chance of breaking the record for the strongest level.

Reached the 40th floor.

This is also of great significance to Fang Ming, because he is about to witness the emergence of the strongest high school genius of our time.

The 35th floor lit up quickly.

Guan Wen arrived at the Battle Tower on the thirty-sixth floor. The surrounding space shifted, and four or five humanoid energy bodies condensed in front of him. These energy bodies had reached the level of twenty-two.

This level is higher than the previous thirty levels of energy, and there are also more of them, making them increasingly difficult to deal with. More importantly, Guan Wen's physical strength is no longer at its peak. Although these energy bodies are no match for him, he knows that he will eventually be exhausted if the fight continues like this.

But when he is exhausted, that is when he fails.

Fang Ming in the monitoring room also noticed that Guan Wen was somewhat exhausted, and his movements and reactions were noticeably sluggish, indicating that his physical strength had decreased significantly compared to before. This was the most important thing for those who wanted to challenge the Battle Tower to overcome.

Sometimes, some geniuses may reach very high levels, but what ultimately defeats them is not the energy bodies, but their own endurance. If they were at their peak and faced the energy body that they reached the final battle tower, they might be able to defeat it very easily. However, after going through dozens of fierce battles, many people's condition becomes extremely poor. Therefore, even when facing energy bodies that are slightly weaker than themselves, they are unable to defeat them and ultimately fail, ending their battle tower challenge.

Guan Wen has also reached this critical juncture.

Of course, Fang Ming, who had monitored many battle records in the Power Tower, knew that Guan Wen could probably hold out for another one or two floors, but when he reached the thirty-ninth floor, he would most likely not be able to pass through. In fact, if he made a mistake in the following battles, suffered a setback, or was slightly injured, he might not be able to reach the thirty-ninth floor.
