Brave Warrior sent Leng Qingying a message about the event.

Leng Qingying said she wasn't interested.

I said I wasn't interested, but actually it was mainly because the title sounded awful.

King of Violence...

This name is truly indescribable.

Her character is that of a cold-blooded assassin who disregards everything and only cares about strength.

But no matter what, the title of "Queen of Violence" is far too harsh. It's hard to imagine a female assassin using this title to kill people.

It's really not aesthetically pleasing.

Moreover, since Lu Cang didn't tell her she should get the title, it meant it wasn't important.

On the other side, Brave Warrior also sent a message to Lu Cang.

"Boss, I've earned the title of King of Violence!"

"Okay, not bad." Lu Cang gave a perfunctory reply.

The first place winner of the event will receive a title and 20,000 gold coins.

It is truly dispensable.

The title's additional effect is called "Pile Driver King," which grants a 5% damage bonus against immobile enemies.

For the average player, multiplying by 5% of all damage dealt is indeed a significant amount.

However, for the Godslayer Guild, this effect was only slightly better than nothing.

Lu Cang knew of no fewer than a hundred similar damage-boosting effects under specific circumstances; he could find them anytime he wanted. Examples included a 5% damage increase against burning enemies, a 5% damage increase against frozen enemies, and a 5% damage increase against unarmed enemies…

However, seeking these improvements is a huge waste of time.

Lu Cang was looking for abilities that could bring about qualitative changes, rather than minor improvements that only provided a 5% boost under specific circumstances.

-------------------------------------

Let the brave and fearless do whatever they want, as long as he finishes the awakening quest in the end.

Lu Cang bought a ticket to enter the Tower of Bewilderment.

The Tower of Bewilderment

The Tower of Confusion is one of two towers in the town center, a tower that provides players with trials.

This city is called the City of Trials because it contains a variety of trials. After passing certain trials, players can gain a significant boost in strength.

Most trials have an ultimate reward.

However, only one player can ultimately claim the ultimate reward for each trial.

The Tower of Confusion is one such trial. There are sixty levels in total, and each level has special monsters, either single or in groups, with different mechanics. Moreover, there are no supplies inside the tower. After clearing a level, you only have 60 seconds to enter the next level, otherwise it is considered a forfeit. Because the time is too short, there is simply no time to restore health and mana.

"The highest record is 34 floors!"

"Ancient Dust".

In front of the Tower of Bewilderment, there is a record panel made of magic.

The challenger's name is recorded above.

The challenger who has now reached the highest level is named [Gu Chen].

[Level: 60, Floor: 34, Challenge Status: In Progress]

"This name belongs to the Flowblade race of the omnic species, right? But it doesn't sound like a machine at all..."

"It's poised to break 35 floors! It's going to break the record!"

"I wonder what kind of rewards you can get from the 35th floor. If you get platinum equipment, that would be a huge win."

The surrounding players were discussing the Tower of Confusion, most of them just there to watch the spectacle.

Just as only a small portion of the human race are top-tier players, most members of the Fantasy race are of average strength and don't have an extreme desire to become stronger. Instead, laziness and leisure are their norm.

[Ahead lies the Tower of Bewilderment—Entry requires a Proof of Bewilderment: 1]

The guard with rabbit ears at the entrance stopped Lu Cang.

"Please pay your ticket."

Lu Cang handed over a [Proof of Confusion], a pass that cost 100 gold coins. If he didn't want to spend money, he would have to go to the nearby NPC to accept a daily quest, and after completing it, he would get a ticket.

100 gold coins is not a small amount for ordinary players, and most players will choose to do the quest.

"Please come in."

Many players from other races also noticed Lu Cang.

"That human went to fight in the Tower of Bewilderment too."

"I heard that four humans have arrived in the Trial City. I wonder what's going on..."

"It seems there's some breaking news: a human has won the title of King of Violence."

"Humans? The King of Violence should require a very high damage output to achieve, right? The Tauren didn't exert their full strength?"

"Huh? The report seems to say that this human dealt a billion damage in two seconds."

"Damn, is this fake news? It's all just bullshit. A billion damage in two seconds? It's obviously fake. The rice paddies in my hometown produce a billion kilograms per mu. They don't even bother to write anything coherent."

"Nine times out of ten, it's a publicity stunt orchestrated by the human race to create hype, a propaganda war. But it's just too convincing. If it were me, I'd write 1 million, that would be more believable..."

These onlookers were initially skeptical, but after hearing about the 1 billion damage in two seconds, they completely dismissed it. 1 billion damage in two seconds was a number they wouldn't even dare to dream of; even in their dreams, they would only dare to dream of damage of one or two million.

"This human, did he buy his ticket?"

"It seems so, I just bought it next to the quest NPC..."

"They actually paid for a ticket to challenge the Tower of Bewilderment? How confident are they?"

"Forget it, he'll probably die and come back to life soon. Compared to that, I'm more concerned about whether that Flowing Blade Clan member named Gu Chen can clear level 35."

"If he clears the 35th floor, it means that this race poses a high threat, and we need to be careful."

-------------------------------------

Lu Cang entered the Tower of Bewilderment. The first floor was occupied by four green goblins, level 35, who were very weak.

Lu Cang casually used his one-handed sword, slashing twice before clearing the level.

Currently, the weapons that a fully upgraded, gold-quality Thousand Machine Box can transform into include:

Greatsword, shield, flintlock pistol, single dagger, spear, staff, great hammer, whip, healing crystal, regular longsword, rapier, greatscythe, club, longsword, gauntlets

There are 15 types of weapons in total.

The shield and greatsword clash with the weapons of the Brave and the Zhūya.

Including Leng Qingying's double daggers and short sword, and Bai Lu's magic book, Lu Cang can use a total of 18 weapons.

On the second floor, there is a level 40 minotaur with 200,000 HP, which is also very weak.

One floor, two floors, three floors, four floors...

The first few floors of the Tower of Confusion are passable even for ordinary human players with a little skill and time.

On the fifth floor, a level 45 frost behemoth covered in ice and snow appeared.

The health points have reached 400,000.

From this level onwards, it becomes a level that ordinary human players need to take seriously.

However, for Lu Cang, it was still an instant kill. He casually switched to a different weapon and finished him off with two quick attacks.

From level 6 to 10, the monsters' health gradually increases, with each level increasing the health by 50,000 to 60,000.

On the 10th floor, the monsters' health increased to 1 million. A level 55 pterosaur hovered in the air, and the terrain was no longer the cold, damp bricks and icy floors, but a tropical rainforest-like landscape.

Well, I switched to the flintlock pistol and fired a few bullets, all of them headshots. It locked its health and activated a second-stage skill with 10% health remaining, which Lu Cang easily dodged. Then he turned around and killed it instantly.

We reached the 11th floor.

The difficulty increased dramatically. The first level was filled with ten Thunder Tigers with 1 million HP each. Lu Cang immediately switched to the White Deer's ability, and a devastating earthquake wiped out all the bosses on this level.

On floors 11-15, the monsters become increasingly monstrous.

The monsters on each floor are either mechanic-dependent or numerous and have a lot of health.

If this problem isn't resolved in time, it will cause a lot of trouble for players.

After all, there is no way to rest in the Tower of Confusion. The recovery of health and mana is extremely limited. Every minute that is wasted and every bit of health and mana lost will reduce the chances of clearing the next level.

Of course, for Lu Cang, there weren't that many problems.

I was instantly killed as soon as I entered, and I was instantly killed all the way upstairs. I didn't even lose any mana, let alone any health.

The boss on the 15th floor is a Flame Queen engulfed in flames, with 3.5 million HP. She has the ability to create a vast sea of ​​fire. If she is not killed within the time limit, the entire room will be engulfed in flames. The destructive power of the flames will also increase over time.

Lu Cang used his greatsword directly to get her.

Switching to the fearless warrior form, the Frost Sword A strike takes the enemy down in one hit, without even needing to use any skills.

The Tower of Confusion can only be entered by a single player, and players can only complete it solo.

A boss with 3.5 million HP can put a lot of pressure on many top-tier players. Bosses are not stationary targets and will not allow players to stand and fight comfortably.

And so, Lu Cang climbed the tower, clearing each level in about 3 to 15 seconds.

Levels that require 15 seconds to complete are often those with a health-locking mechanism. You have to wait for them to unleash a full health-locking attack before you can kill them, which takes a bit of time.

On average, it took 7 to 8 seconds to pass one floor. In just 4 minutes, Lu Cang cleared 34 floors.

Arrive at the room on the 35th floor.
