Chapter 379: Qianchonglou, Dark Horses
A towering building rises from the ground, and you can’t see its top.
When Xia Lin arrived at the square, the area around Qianchong Tower was already full of people.
Seeing Xia Lin approaching, the crowd automatically parted to reveal the path leading to the front of the building.
A man's fame is like the shadow of a tree.
After the human race sequence war preliminaries that were urgently interrupted, Xia Lin stood on the highest stage of the Jhin District and became known to everyone.
I could vaguely hear some discussions.
"Is this Xia Lin?"
"Well, the expert from the Demon Emperor's side... is said to be even stronger than Donald, the first in the Demon Clan!"
Xia Lin said that firstly, I had not pledged my loyalty to the Demon Emperor, and secondly, I could not beat Donald.
But rumors are always like this, getting more and more outrageous, and Xia Lin is too lazy to clarify anything.
Soon, he walked to the tower and came to Donald's side.
…
"The Thousand-Storied Tower is one of the greatest treasures of the King of Kings."
"The function is not really important. After all, it's just a venue. It won't show any power to youngsters like us. Just follow the rules after you enter."
Donald possessed leadership qualities and kept chattering to his companions, reminding them of things to pay attention to, but Xia Lin's eyes were looking towards the wall of Qianchong Tower.
A faint light appeared, as if manifesting something, and soon, accompanied by the exclamations of the crowd, the light quickly distorted and turned into a real scene.
And in the picture, Wuxin's figure appeared out of nowhere!
Xia Lin was delighted to see this.
“Wow, this even has a live broadcast function!”
This building does have a live broadcast function.
After all, this isn't a very impressive feature.
This undoubtedly made it easier for Xia Lin to spy on Wuxin's followers.
"But the early tests didn't allow Wuxin to play out more cards."
Donald on the side said this, and then made a gesture of invitation to Xia Lin.
"Go in and take a look? Test the water temperature of this Qianchonglou first?"
Xia Lin nodded immediately.
…
The thousand-story building has doors on all sides.
Looking inside the door from the outside, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.
The moment Xia Lin walked into the building, he felt dizzy and a sense of teleportation emerged - this building obviously had spatial capabilities.
When Xia Lin opened his eyes, he found himself in a pure white space.
A sound similar to the reminder sound of the Ashes Zone rang in my ears, but it was slightly softer than that.
【Please select your test type. 】
[1: Puzzle type. ]
【Two: Combat.】
【Three: Comprehensive category.】
【Note: Please select the type of test that you think is most suitable for you. After passing the test, there will be no difference in rewards. 】
[Note: This option will last for ten levels! After you pass the tenth level, this option will be triggered again.]
Xia Lin smiled knowingly.
The King of Kings is relatively mild...
The rules of Qianchonglou are obviously much softer. Not only are there rules that prohibit travelers in the Ashes Zone from harming each other, but travelers in the Ashes Zone can also choose the type of test themselves and play to their own strengths.
Without much thought, Xia Lin simply made a choice: "Combat."
The levels ahead cannot be difficult.
With Xia Lin's fighting power, he can just push forward easily, there is no need to do anything fancy.
As Xia Lin made his selection, the light shone again.
Soon, a stone golem appeared in front of Xia Lin.
[Level 1 assessment begins now! ]
The golem's eyes suddenly flashed red!
As soon as it moved, it immediately displayed properties of at least a million levels!
However, before the golem could make any further moves, a simple gust of wind from his finger shot into the energy center in the golem's heart like a bullet.
A sharp explosion sounded, and the golem's chest shattered. It froze on the spot, and finally turned into light and dissipated.
Xia Lin grinned.
"It's hard to see the whole picture from the tube. It's hard to climb to the top of this thousand-story building."
The million-level attributes are not considered strong. At this moment, all the Ash Walkers in the City of Oath can easily deal with puppets of this strength.
But you must know that this is only the first floor of the Thousand-story Tower, there are still 999 floors to come!
But only with this level of difficulty can Wuxin be forced to reveal more cards... Anyway, Xia Lin feels that the more difficult the test in the Thousand-story Tower is, the better!
"Another point is the issue of rewards..."
"Only when the rewards are high can they motivate Wuxin and the hidden strong men to climb up and show their strength."
What Xia Lin was expecting soon arrived.
[You have passed the first floor of the Thousand-story Tower. ]
【Please select one of the following three options. 】
[One: 1000 points of limit-breaking attributes.]
【Two: 1 racial value.】
【Three: 1 piece of God-given essence.】
Xia Lin simply chose three, then looked at the three rewards and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It looks like the reward for this Qianchonglou won't be low."
…
In the outside world, except for a few strong people, most people have not started to climb the building.
The logic is simple: since there is live broadcast, it is always a good choice to wait for others to explore the way.
Some people even used special means to transmit the live broadcast images on the tower to the distant City of Promise. For a time, the vast number of travelers in the Ash Zone of All Races in the City of Promise became students on vacation, holding on to the screens and unwilling to let go.
"There's no point in looking at Wuxin..."
In a restaurant near the Oath Square, Bao Bowen watched the battle with Wenrou and others.
And on the screen, the scene of Wuxin's test was playing.
Wuxin chose the combat test, but the clearance speed was very slow.
Because he only used the living form, his main body's combat power was insufficient, so his clearance efficiency was naturally low...
Bao Bowen looked at it for a while and found that Wuxin in his living form still had the same three skills - immortality, curse, and evolution.
I changed the channel decisively and focused my attention on Donald.
Compared to Wuxin, Donald's clearance efficiency is outrageous.
Only an hour has passed, and Donald has already reached the 382nd floor!
The virtual examiner on the opposite side was already incredibly strong, but he was still killed instantly by Donald.
As he watched, Bao Bowen shook his head.
"The gap between Boss Leng and this person is so huge that there is no point in comparing them."
On the side, he smiled gently and said, "What about Xia Lin? How does Xia Lin compare to Donald?"
Before Bao Bowen could think of a response, Xia Lin's voice had already sounded in Wenrou's ears.
"I can't compare with Old Tang at all..."
As he said this, Xia Lin had already sat down next to Wenrou.
However, after passing the 130th level of test, Xia Lin decisively left the Qianchong Tower and no longer underwent any deeper tests.
…
"The reward is quite substantial."
"But the first hundred levels mainly focus on God-given essence, evolution points, attributes and race values. The higher the level, the greater the number."
Xia Lin opened his mouth slowly and explained the reward model in Qianchonglou.
"As for after the 100th floor, there will be skills, props, etc.... The lowest quality is SS, and there will definitely be racial heritage level items later, but I don't know if there will be good stuff at the six-pillar level."
As soon as Xia Lin finished speaking, Bao Bowen immediately said, "Yes, there must be. Master Chaoxing has told me that there will be six-pillar level rewards at this stage."
"It is said that the investment of the six pillars in this Ten Thousand Races Sequence War is quite large."
Xia Lin also knew this news.
The so-called six-pillar investment is not only limited to the investment in one's own Ash Zone Walker, but also includes the reward investment in the assessment.
"Why don't you continue?"
Wenrou asked Xia Lin, and Xia Lin thought about it and gave an answer.
"I'm not in a hurry anyway. I just want to come out and see other people's assessment scenes."
As he said this, he looked at Wuxin's assessment screen, and after watching for a while, he complained: "It turns out that this kid is not arrogant enough, and is more cautious than I thought."
Xia Lin thought Wu Xin would just go into Death Form and get it over with, but he kept dithering, and his progress so far is not even as good as Xia Lin's...
Waste of time!
Bao Bowen smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be long before this guy is forced to use some real tricks."
He then concluded: "From Donald, I have summarized the rules of combat assessments."
"The first ten floors have a million attributes as the base, and each floor increases by a million."
"When you reach the tenth floor, you will become a virtual examiner with tens of millions of total attributes, but only attributes, no talents or skills."
"From the tenth floor to the twentieth floor, each floor increases by tens of millions. By the twentieth floor, it will be over a hundred million!"
And the basic attributes of over 100 million are enough to pose a fatal threat to most of the walkers in the Cinders!
"Starting from the twenty-first level, the increase slowed down until the hundredth level, when the attributes of the virtual examiner reached one billion... At the twenty-hundredth level, it reached ten billion, triggering the first third law."
"Three hundred times triggering the second third law..."
"But at the 350th level, the virtual examiner triggered the third law for the third time."
During the live broadcast, Donald had already penetrated the four hundredth floor.
The 401st level virtual examiner surprisingly displayed the properties of triggering the fourth third law!
This attribute is between the human race's sequence three, indifference, and sequence four, Luo Zhidao!
"From the logic of increasing difficulty, this test is not easy. I personally think that even for Wuxin, Donald, and you, it would be difficult to reach the top."
Xia Lin thought about it and chuckled.
"That's great. But it also makes us look like donkeys attracted by carrots..."
Bao Bowenming said that six-pillar-level treasures will appear in this stage.
And every six-pillar-level treasure is a goal that everyone must strive for - because maybe this reward can change the current strength and weakness pattern.
Xia Lin also had some thoughts on this.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise was heard from outside.
The faint sound of "More than, More than" attracted Xia Lin's attention.
Outside, in front of the Qianchong Building, there was a crowd of people.
Most people gathered in a group, staring at the light curtain in front of them.
However, the person playing on the screen was not Donald, who was making the fastest progress, but another acquaintance.
Qin Tai!
At this moment, Qin Tai quickly climbed the stairs in the tower and overtook Donald at this moment!
Xia Lin is really strange...
In terms of fighting ability, Qin Tai is far inferior to Donald.
After looking for a while, Xia Lin understood.
Because Qin Tai chose not a combat test, but a comprehensive test!
Bao Bowen's voice sounded beside me.
"Comprehensive tests are similar to virtual ember zones. There are tasks but no rewards. After choosing a comprehensive test, the outside world cannot see the specific test content, and the speed of time flowing inside is also different from that of the outside world."
"But no matter what, Qin Tai's speed is indeed fast enough."
After a brief comment, Bao Bowen smiled and said, "It's not surprising. It is said that the King of Kings has invested in Qin Tai. This man's strength may change qualitatively."
"But Qin Tai is not the point."
As he said this, Bao Bowen knocked on the table and pointed to several other light screens.
"I think you should look at those guys more."
Xia Lin turned his head and looked away.
Several travelers from the Ashes Zone, some unfamiliar and some half-familiar, came into Xia Lin's sight.
…
There are many hidden talents among all races in the universe.
In every racial sequence war, there is a dark horse that emerges and is remembered by the world.
This time, the Ten Thousand Races Sequence War is larger in scale and higher in level. It not only has high rewards, but is also the best stage for becoming famous.
For profit and fame.
The dark horse turned from obscurity to light and stepped onto the stage.
"But there aren't that many grassroots counterattacks. Small dark horses may have the possibility of grassroots counterattacks, but the big dark horses must be the hidden pawns secretly cultivated by various companies."
Looking at the people on the screen, Bao Bowen spoke slowly and said this to Xia Lin.
…
The 305th floor of Qianchonglou.
Ocres, the first member of the giant clan, killed his opponent with a heavy punch!
This is not surprising. After all, as the strongest limit breaker in the Amber zone, Ocress has some background.
But what's strange is the state of Okreis.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if an ordinary person had not slept for three days and three nights.
The expression seemed to be both crying and laughing, and looked particularly distorted.
And when the next level began and O'Cress roared and punched, Xia Lin narrowed his eyes suddenly and realized that something was wrong.
"He is deliberately hiding his strength, but he is not hiding it well."
"This person's strength is seriously inconsistent with the existing intelligence."
According to the information Xia Lin knew, Ocres's attributes were between the seventh and eighth third laws.
This attribute is superior to Lengmo, the third in the human race sequence, but the Limit Breaker does not have as many combat methods as the Warrior, so it cannot be said that his actual combat power is definitely stronger than Lengmo.
But at the moment, this person's attributes have soared to the level of the tenth third law!
Intelligence is time-sensitive, so Xia Lin can also understand situations where intelligence does not match facts.
But there must be a limit. The difference in judgment of two to three levels cannot be explained by the timeliness of intelligence.
Bao Bowen spoke slowly: "Just a few days ago, the Six Pillars summoned Rizhong, and the Old Lord summoned Okres. The Old Lord also summoned only him."
"Right now, the Overlord seems to have given Okeres a lot of benefits. I guess what Okeres has shown right now is by no means all."
"So this person needs to be on guard."
Xia Lin watched O'Cress pass three levels in a row and nodded slightly.
Judging from the attributes displayed by O'Cress at present, he still cannot threaten Xia Lin, but there is no guarantee that some six-pillar-level method bestowed by the Lord can teach Xia Lin a profound lesson.
He turned his gaze to look at the next person.
This is also a semi-acquaintance.
The uncertain shadow named Shadow.
This person also chose the combat test mode, but his combat methods were completely different from those of Xia Lin, the uncertain shadow!
On the 265th floor, Shadow and the virtual puppet are fighting fiercely.
Various skills shot out from Ying's hands. Within a few seconds, he released hundreds of completely different skills!
Moreover, the properties and even the appearance of the shadow itself are constantly changing, like a ball of slime that can be deformed at will. What stands out is that it is unpredictable and impossible to estimate!
"The random mechanism of the Uncertain Shadow..."
Xia Lin made a guess in his mind.
In the past, Xia Lin obtained a skill called [A Random Skill] and guessed that the Uncertain Shadow had a completely random system.
And what Ying is good at is obviously this completely random system - not only are the skills random, but even his physical attributes and racial values are changing randomly.
"So is there a possibility that... this uncertain shadow named Shadow can randomly take on a form and attributes that rival or even surpass Wuxin?"
Xia Lin was stunned when Bao Bowen made such an assumption.
Soon, Xia Lin, who was also an uncertain shadow, gave a definite answer.
“There is a probability…”
Because of the Uncertain Shadow, it also has a miracle mechanism!
From this, Xia Lin thought of more things.
He thought of the skill called Eternal Solidification that the Demon Emperor gave him.
This uncertain shadow and the eternal pillar both counteract and complement each other!
As the second Indefinite Eternal dual-profession player after Xia Lin, Ying seems to have the potential to combine the full random system + miracle system + solidification system into a trinity, thereby unleashing an eye-popping combat power!
"Fortunately, this person is on our side."
Bao Bowen vaguely saw something from Xia Lin's expression. He muttered something softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, and then pointed to the third light screen.
"This person's name is Ning Feng."
Xia Lin turned to look at Ning Feng. He could easily tell his camp affiliation from his appearance and clothing.
He is young but wearing an old-fashioned robe. He is definitely on the side of the Lord of Heaven.
Unlike others, the type of test this person chose was a puzzle.
——Endless lights and shadows flashed in front of Ning Feng. Xia Lin didn’t know the specific test information, but he could feel the complexity and dazzlingness from the lights and shadows.
Then I started to feel dizzy.
It's like a poor student encountering advanced mathematics problems.
Then look at the number of layers again.
399th floor...
Lao Bao at the side said slowly: "This person is one of the hidden masters of the Heavenly Dao Creator... All along the way, he chose puzzles that do not test combat power. However, although puzzles do not test combat power, they are recognized as the most difficult and time-consuming."
"But this person's strategy progress is only second to Donald and Qin Tai, ranking third."
"Let's not talk about his combat power and ability system for now... On the surface, this person is similar to Xu Haonan, but his brain and methods may be stronger than Xu Haonan."
Xia Lin thought of the combination of Lin Xiantian and Xu Haonan in the ancient fairy tales.
One is for military support, the other is for intelligence...
Well, although looking back now, it seems that the two brothers Lin Xiantian and Xu Haonan are here to make people laugh.
"I don't know yet whether there will be team battles or other forms of challenges in the subsequent stages."
Now is only the preliminary stage of the Ten Thousand Races Sequence War.
When it comes to the main competition, it doesn't necessarily have to be a one-on-one ring battle mode.
And Wuxin’s combat power is no joke... If it is equipped with an extraordinary external brain...
Xia Lin narrowed his eyes and looked at the man named Ning Feng, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"And finally, there is this person named Yuan Zhuo."
Bao Bowen raised his hand and pointed again, and Xia Lin looked over.
However, they discovered that the man named Yuan Zhuo was still on the 53rd floor. He chose a combat test and his combat capability was quite ordinary, even below the average level.
Bao Bowen dispelled Xia Lin's doubts with just one sentence.
"Reliable information, this person is the only walker summoned by the original dark side during the previous six-pillar summons..."
…
Bao Bowen is indeed resourceful, as he even found out about such things.
Instead, Xia Lin sighed heavily but said nothing.
He was naturally aware that this time the Ten Thousand Races Order War was not to select the strongest Cinders Walker, but a six-pillar chessboard.
At the moment, it seems that it is not only the Lord of Heaven and the Demon Emperor who have made their move, but the other pillars are also involved.
Glancing sideways, he looked at the other light curtain.
In the light curtain, Leng Mo and Black Star climbed the stairs one after another. Without talking about Black Star, only Leng Mo was mentioned. His methods had many more changes than last time, as if his martial arts had improved again.
Then he looked at Qin Tai, Okeris, and Yuan Zhuo...
These correspond to Super Star, King of Kings, Old Ones, and even the original dark side of the Unwise.
Time passes slowly.
The sun sets and night falls.
After a day passed, the challengers left the tower and went out to rest.
The first-day record was created by Qin Tai and Donald: 500 floors!
"The first half is just for fun, and I'll give you a reward. From the 501st floor onwards, it's time to get serious!"
This was Donald's advice to Xia Lin during dinner.
"But the rewards are really good... The dream master just told me that starting from the 991st floor, each floor will provide a six-pillar item or a six-pillar skill to those who pass it!"
Xia Lin was stunned.
"Every floor!? And every single person?"
Donald nodded heavily: "Yes, there are on every level. Every Cinder Walker who can pass the level can get a six-pillar reward!"
Six-column wholesale! ?
But considering that all six pillars have already focused their attention on this war of ten thousand races, such a move is not surprising.
Not enough props?
How can it be not enough?
A six-pillar-level prop, isn’t it just a small gadget that can be easily pinched by six pillars?
Thinking of this, Xia Lin saw Donald's face turn serious.
"Extra news."
"For props, follow the first-come-first-served principle. The first person to clear the level gets to choose first, and the slowest ones can only pick up the leftovers."
"So brother, you wasted a whole day today because of an operational error."
Xia Lin just smiled.
It’s only the first day of the one-month assessment period.
Moreover, the difficulty of the Thousand-Story Tower increases, and the six-pillar level rewards only exist in the last ten levels.
"Don't talk about this. It's still unclear whether I can pass the last ten floors."
This preliminary round is not about who can pass the test, but about who stands higher.
Xia Lin even had reason to suspect that when Liu Zhu set up the Thousand-Layered Tower test, he didn't expect anyone to be able to pass it - including Wu Xin.
That being said, Xia Lin did not do that.
Dinner had just ended when Xia Lin hurried to Qianchong Tower and started climbing the stairs.
