As Jin Tahou left, the distorted space around him returned to normal, and Shen Qian's figure appeared in the bustling square outside the Wanxiang Tower.
[I highly recommend Yeguo Reading; it's really good for tracking books. You can download it here: yeguoyuedu. Give it a try!]
With his current mental strength, and with his deliberate concealment, the passing crowds did not notice that there was suddenly an extra person here.
He quickly spotted Qu Bai and the others gathered together, but to Shen Qian's surprise, there was an unexpected figure mixed in among them.
"Sixth Senior Brother?"
He moved a little closer.
The group, who were originally staring in the direction of the Vientiane Tower, were all startled by Shen Qian, who suddenly appeared from behind.
How did you get here?
"Shouldn't you still be inside the Tower of Myriad Images?"
Everyone was startled, and then they all spoke up.
As for Liu Changqing, he looked at Shen Qian suspiciously, but didn't say anything for a moment.
"I don't know what happened. I was doing fine during the trial, but suddenly Marquis Jinta sent me out, saying that the Myriad Manifestations Pagoda was under maintenance..."
He said helplessly before sinking in.
To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he had already decided to pass through the Tower of Myriad Forms discreetly, so naturally he couldn't tell everyone the truth.
But those who had been watching the martial arts club's official website for half a day naturally wouldn't believe Shen Qian's flawed explanation.
"Shen Qian, isn't this getting a bit boring?"
Bai Fei sneered, "We all clearly saw that your name kept refreshing on the official website, with ten consecutive levels showing a 100% completion rating..."
"Is that so?"
Shen Qian was first taken aback, then shook his head in confusion, "I did make it to the tenth level, but I only got a 100% completion rating for the first few levels. The later levels got more and more difficult, and I could only manage to pass them smoothly."
The group exchanged bewildered glances, but Shen Qian didn't seem to be lying, so they were all at a loss for words.
"What a pity, Shenqian. This is your first time entering the Tower of Myriad Phenomena. You could have gone further and received a greater reward."
Qu Bai sighed, believing it to be true.
“We just thought the incident at the Tower of Myriad Forms was related to you…” Feng Manlin said with a smile.
Everyone felt it was a pity; with Chen Qian's strength, he should never have stopped at the tenth level.
"Oh well, we'll do it again next time." Shen Qian waved his hand dismissively.
He himself only realized that the rankings were updated in real time when he cleared the tenth floor, and he immediately had the will of the Myriad Pagoda completely cut off the data transmission to the outside world.
As for the previous clearance data, apart from Qu Bai and others, perhaps only the internal staff of the Martial Arts Department can see it.
This was a mistake before sinking, but fortunately it was only a perfect score for ten consecutive levels. Although it was still amazing, it was still within the acceptable range.
Moreover, Wu Wei should already be immune to the various miracles he has created, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
If you get a perfect score on all 29 levels in a row, then you absolutely cannot fool Wu Wei.
"So, everyone else was ejected from the Tower of Myriad Manifestations just now, but you were tricked into staying inside inexplicably. Ha, the chosen one?"
Liu Changqing, who was standing to the side, suddenly asked.
Shen Qian met his sixth senior brother's amused gaze, but felt inexplicably guilty.
He could deceive Qu Bai and the others, but Lao Liu knew him too well. He was sure that Lao Liu had guessed something.
"Well, according to Marquis Jinta, it's possible that the will of the Myriad Pagoda was negligent, which is why I was able to stay inside by chance... As for the data you saw, it should also be because the maintenance of the Myriad Pagoda was wrong."
Shen Qian could only offer a forced explanation, shifting all the blame onto Marquis Jinta.
Upon hearing this, everyone accepted Shen Qian's explanation, mainly because they couldn't think of a more reasonable one at the moment.
"Hey, the Tower of All Things is open again!"
Suddenly, exclamations rang out in the square.
Everyone instinctively turned their heads, and sure enough, all the doors of the Myriad Manifestations Tower, which had previously been closed, suddenly reopened with a roar.
Amid the noise, the staff at the service desk seemed to have heard something and began to speak excitedly.
"By order of Marquis Jinta, the Myriad Manifestations Tower Secret Realm has returned to normal, and everyone may re-enter!"
"Please line up in an orderly fashion. We need to re-verify our martial arts tokens!"
The reopening of the Vientiane Tower attracted most people's attention, and Qu Bai and others no longer dwelled on the events before the sinking.
"You may enter now."
Qu Bai smiled at Niu Ziguo.
Besides Chen Qian, Niu Ziguo was also entering the Wanxiang Pagoda for the first time, hence Qu Bai's statement.
"I suggest... if you want to enter the Tower of All Things, you might as well wait a bit longer."
After a moment's hesitation, he finally spoke.
"Why?" Everyone looked over in confusion, and Niu Ziguo asked curiously.
"The Jintahou told me that after this maintenance, the difficulty of entering the Wanxiang Pagoda will increase significantly. If you enter rashly, you may be caught off guard."
Before sinking, I didn't want to betray them, so I revealed some of the truth.
Normal difficulty and Hell difficulty are completely different concepts. The first batch of warriors who enter the challenge will likely see their performance significantly reduced if they are not mentally prepared.
People who could originally reach the thirtieth floor may now be unable to even get past the twentieth floor.
Unlike him, Qu Bai and the others had plenty of martial arts training tokens to squander, so it was wise for them to wait and see for the time being.
"Difficulty increased?"
Everyone was startled upon hearing this, but seeing the seriousness in Shen Qian's words, and considering it was a personal warning from Marquis Jinta, they didn't insist on recklessly going to risk it right now.
