As he fell from the sky, Qin Xiao stood before the Endless Tower.
This is a plaza, connected to a large hall in front of the Endless Tower.
Stepping into the hall, it was quite lively. It was only a little past ten in the morning, but there were already at least a hundred people there.
Aside from the staff, the rest were mostly students who came to try out the tower and watch the excitement.
Yesterday, I heard from Lu Chengxiao that the academy's top students have all returned recently and are coming to refresh the tower's levels in order to obtain a spot in the university league.
Of course, making it into the top ten of everyone's challenge basically guarantees a spot in the league.
The league's individual tournament format involves ten players from each college competing against each other in random matches across the country, progressing step by step to the final.
"How many levels do you think Gao Wenlong can reach?"
Upon entering the hall, one finds the group engaged in discussion.
"I think it's unlikely. We're stuck on the eighth floor right now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to get past the ninth floor."
"That shouldn't be the case. Last time I was able to reach the ninth floor, how come I'm even worse in the past six months?"
"I heard that one of our main beast tamers died while we were out in a secret realm."
"Then it's hopeless."
Qin Xiao went to the front desk and made a reservation for the tower challenge. Surprisingly, there was no ranking ahead of him, only one person inside the tower.
On the large screen next to him, Qin Xiao's name appeared on the list of people who had made appointments and were in the queue.
There was a slight commotion in the hall.
"Who is this?"
"Never heard of it, probably just some newbie trying it out."
"Damn it, weren't we supposed to have some big shots coming to challenge us today? Where are they? What a waste of my time."
"Here he comes! Wang Xinian is here!"
"Huh? Where? Where?"
The hall instantly became lively, with many students peering around.
Qin Xiao also turned around and looked. Wang Xinian?
Isn't that the stupid older sister from yesterday?
Long, flowing blue hair adorned the figure of a tall woman dressed in exquisite combat attire. Her face was delicate, and her almond-shaped eyes held an air of indifference.
However, the combat suit accentuated his incredibly voluptuous figure, creating a striking contrast.
Both cold and lustful.
"Wow, this is amazing."
"Keep your voice down, you want to die?!"
"Ahem, so dashing."
The woman walked to the registration desk, just as Qin Xiao was standing on the road.
Wang Xinian stopped and turned her head to look at him.
"Nice appearance, but lacking in strength, Gold rank?"
Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Wang Xinian?"
"Please apologize on my brother's behalf. We were impolite. Would you be interested in being with me?"
Wang Xinian's answer was irrelevant, but it indirectly answered the question.
"I'm not interested. I still believe in my own abilities."
"Who is this guy? So arrogant? He doesn't even respect Wang Xinian's team?"
"I don't know, but for a Gold-rank to be so arrogant, they're really putting on airs!"
"You're also at the Gold rank, what are you comparing yourself to?"
"I know I'm bad at the game, I'm not pretending."
...
Wang Xinian was not surprised by the answer, and simply went to the front desk to register.
On the big screen, the name Wang Xinian appeared below Qin Xiao's name.
The other person walked over and sat down in the chair next to Qin Xiao, crossing his legs and placing his long legs at an angle.
Qin Xiao's eyes twitched as he watched the foot that was about to touch his own.
"Do you really think you can participate in the selection competition on your own?"
Qin Xiao was speechless. Girl, you look aloof, but you're quite talkative.
"I will not participate in the selection competition."
Wang Xinian frowned slightly. "What?"
“I said I had no interest in participating in the selection competition.”
"Heh, it seems you do have some self-awareness."
Qin Xiao didn't bother to explain that he wasn't participating in the selection competition because he planned to finish first and directly enter the league.
After all, not everyone knows his abilities. Some people may have some knowledge of them, but whether it's true or not is another matter, and it's uncertain whether they even believe it.
Soon, a disheveled figure appeared in front of the tall tower gate.
"Gao Wenlong is out!"
The hall was noisy, and four or five medical staff immediately gathered around.
Soon, Gao Wenlong was carried away by medical staff, and a healing-type beast was treating him.
"Tsk tsk, still the ninth floor. I guess they won't make it into the selection rounds this time."
"We'll see. Anyway, there are already four Platinum players on the tenth floor. If there weren't so many people, we'd probably still have a chance to participate in the selection competition."
Qin Xiao stood up and walked towards the main gate, which was the teleportation entrance.
"This kid's gone up there, how many floors do you think he can get through?"
"Hey, getting past the fifth level is already quite an achievement, after all, it's just a Gold Rank."
"That's true."
Qin Xiao entered the portal on his own.
Everything went black for a moment, then Qin Xiao reappeared and found himself on a small mountaintop.
[Randomly selected level of the Endless Tower; defeat 10 Mountain Spirit Beasts]
A screen of light appeared before Qin Xiao's eyes, and he was somewhat surprised, thinking it was just like playing a video game.
Soon, the subtitles disappeared, and as the mountain wind howled, a commotion arose in the forest below.
Three or five strange beasts that looked like monkeys came toward the mountaintop.
Qin Xiao summoned Ilya, "Ilya, I'm leaving you to me."
Ilya nodded, both of them calm. Ten silver-level beasts were not difficult.
In five minutes, Ilya didn't even move, but simply controlled the Rock Piercing Technique to kill ten alien beasts.
The moment the mission was completed, a portal appeared before them.
Qin Xiao stepped inside.
The second level was a huge lake, and Qin Xiao fell into it as soon as he entered.
Yoyo emerged from the water, lifting Qin Xiao into the air.
[Randomly selected second floor of the Endless Tower, defeat 10 Water Spirit Beasts]
The water on the lake surface began to ripple, and strange beasts resembling carp emerged from the water.
With a cry of "Yoo-yo!", the entire surface of the water froze, and the mission was accomplished in an instant.
Next came the Fire Spirit, the Earth Spirit, and the Wood Spirit. Although their strength increased, they were all easy for Qin Xiao.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Xiao had already passed through the fifth and sixth levels of space.
On a vast grassland, a strong wind blows, and the grass leaves imprint the shape of the wind.
[Endless Tower, six random floors, defeat 100 alien beasts]
Wow, the difficulty has increased, and the quantity has increased tenfold.
Looking at the strange beasts shaped like cattle and sheep that slowly appeared, their rank had already reached the seventh or eighth gold level.
For an average Gold-rank Beastmaster, this is probably the limit.
Killing one hundred beasts of the same level is already considered quite difficult.
But for Qin Xiao, it was nothing special.
Slovic Bai Ling, Ilya Youyou, and Jingjing, five mythical-themed beasts, appeared together.
The battle was over in five minutes.
Qin Xiao is now aiming for a speedrun; otherwise, Ling'er and the others could have easily defeated it with just their beast taming abilities, though it would have taken longer.
In the hall, the students watching the play were engrossed in watching the big screen.
"Wow, that's fast! You finished one floor in just a few minutes?"
"He's got some talent; he might even be a genius."
"Come on, everyone who comes here is a genius. I bet he won't even make it past the sixth floor."
"I'll go upside down and have diarrhea after we beat the sixth floor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen displayed Qin Xiao's name followed by the sixth floor.
Then, in less than five minutes, the floor number became the seventh floor.
The guy who was doing diarrhea upside down was killed immediately; his expression was contorted!
"I want to report this! Someone's cheating! Or maybe the Endless Tower is malfunctioning!"
