Chapter 140 The Pinnacle



I've cleared the level.

Once you clear the level, there will be no more countdowns. You can stay here as long as you want if you wish.

Of course, there was nothing here, just ruins left after the battle.

Staying here won't get you any extra rewards.

Lu Cang didn't leave immediately. Instead, he dug up some soil on this floor, erected a small monument, and took out a bottle of liquor from his backpack—the strongest liquor he could buy at the moment.

The Tomb of Three Lifetimes of the Azure Sky

He poured wine on his own tombstone and murmured, "It's over now. I will win back everything you lost."

"Also, I hope there won't be a fifth incarnation."

It would be quite torturous to have to start all over again.

After pouring out a bottle of wine, Lu Cang stood there for a moment, lost in thought.

After conquering the Tower of Bewilderment in my previous life, I left in a hurry without making any commemorative arrangements.

Looking back on this, I feel quite regretful. After all, there aren't many opportunities to face your past life again. Since I remembered it in this life, I wanted to commemorate my deceased self a little.

In fact, Lu Cang also knew that what was inside the Tower of Bewilderment was merely an illusory projection.

Even if you answer his question, it won't help your journey.

The projection disappeared after it was projected.

It will never happen again.

His dialogue with himself is merely a projection of his existence.

What he said was merely what he would say if he could see himself now.

If my conversation with him could be considered helpful, it was more of a spiritual release, a way for the present to make an explanation for the past.

This is also why Lu Cang is so carefree in this life. He has been reborn and reincarnated four times. If he had to spend each life under extremely high pressure and serious tension, even a god would feel like he was going to collapse. Normal people would be exhausted just from having their nerves on edge all day.

If you have to keep things under control for four lifetimes... how exhausting that must be.

After briefly recalling the past, Lu Cang brought his thoughts back to reality. Looking at the mound of earth in front of him again, Lu Cang stretched his body slightly.

"Alright, one bottle of wine should be enough."

"I'll keep moving forward, that's all for now."

After saying that, Lu Cang turned around and walked into the light gate.

[You have completed the Tower of Bewilderment for the first time - the rewards you can obtain are shown here.]

[Level 1 Reward - Small Red Potion]

[5th ​​Floor Reward - Level 30 Black Iron Equipment]

[10th Floor Reward - Level 50 Bronze Equipment]

...

The rewards up to level 30 are practically garbage, the kind of garbage you wouldn't even bother selling.

The rewards only start to look appealing from the 35th floor onwards.

[35th Floor Reward - Level 60 Platinum Equipment]

[40th Floor Reward - First Awakening Skill Core]

[Floor 45 Reward - 5-Star Skill Book]

[50th Floor Reward - Crystal of Bewilderment]

[55th Floor Reward - Revival Card]

[60th Floor Rewards - Title: Pinnacle, Special Reward - Bewildering Cycle (Unique Reward)]

[The Cycle of Confusion - The confusion you have experienced is a cycle of reincarnation. You can gain any skill from the opponent you faced on floor 60.]

The Tower of Bewilderment has a profound background, and Lu Cang was not surprised that the tower knew he was a reincarnated person.

However, those who can identify themselves as reincarnators are ultimately a very small minority.

In his previous life, Lu Cang had asked Tish to conceal his reincarnation. Even an existence at the level of the God of Time would not be able to discover that Lu Cang was a reincarnator unless they directly contacted him.

Lu Cang is currently in the Tower of Bewilderment. The Tower of Bewilderment knows that he is a reincarnator, but after Lu Cang leaves, the traces of the reincarnator's past visits will be erased.

"Choose a skill".

"The Dark Threshold".

Since you can choose the skills from your past life, you should definitely choose the first awakening skill, which is the best skill you have at this time in your past life.

You have acquired the first awakening skill – Dark Threshold.

"Having the first awakening skill of two professions at the same time is much better than before."

If you had the same profession in your previous life, learning from it would be a waste of time, as the skills would completely overlap.

Now, he is an all-rounder. While all-rounders can learn skills from other professions, they cannot learn awakened skills.

The strength of the first awakening skill is roughly equivalent to a 6-star skill of this class.

After completing the job awakening quest, Lu Cang essentially possesses the awakening skills of two unique jobs simultaneously, maximizing his strength.

The 35th floor reward, a platinum-grade item, is an all-around grabber, a rare piece of equipment specifically designed for all-rounders. It has stats for all attributes, and its effect is that it's an all-around grabber; touching the ground allows you to set traps, freely use one-star spells of all elemental types, and conjure throwing knives and projectiles out of thin air...

Simply put, they can handle most miscellaneous tasks. Although their skills are all basic, their strength lies in their versatility.

Needless to say, the Awakening Skill Core is a rare item that can upgrade the level of the Awakening Skill. Awakening Skills cannot be upgraded with Skill Points, but can only be upgraded with Skill Cores. This thing is considered extremely rare in the entire world.

The Crystal of Confusion is a required item for the quest that Lu Cang helped Zu Ya accept.

If not used for completing tasks, its effect is that when possessed, it can shield perception-type abilities, making it undetectable by perception skills of five stars or below. For talents, it can shield detection-type talents of A rank or below.

The Revival Card allows a player who has been removed from the Illusionary Realm to return. This card is an extremely rare and valuable item, its worth beyond measure.

As for the title: Pinnacle.

[Peak No. 1: The one who has reached the top of the Tower of Bewilderment - Rank: 1]

[Effect: Gain an additional 30% damage reduction and 30% damage bonus in all trials. This title will significantly change NPCs' perception of you and can be used to trigger some special quests.]

These are all the rewards from the Tower of Bewilderment.

The items are all pretty good, otherwise so many players wouldn't want to climb the tower.

As Lu Cang emerged from the Tower of Confusion, he was greeted by a sea of ​​people and couldn't help but sigh, "It's the same scene again."

In my previous life, when I completed the speedrun, there were just as many people.

"Holy crap?"

"They're out. Is that the sky?"

"Although he is wearing a mask, judging from his physique, he should be human, there's no mistake."

"Could it really be an elf? Elves are similar to humans, aren't they?"

"He doesn't have pointy ears either."

A mask only covers the face and hides things like ID, but the body shape can still be seen.

After Lu Cang cleared the level, the Tower of Bewilderment no longer only displayed the highest floor number.

It has become a leaderboard.

The number one spot on the leaderboard was none other than Lu Cang.

Tower of Confusion Rankings:

First Place: Azure Sky - Completion Time: 21 minutes 34 seconds - Floor: 60 (Guild: Godslayer)

Second place: Gu Chen - Challenge time: 7 hours 55 minutes 32 seconds - Floor: 35 (Guild: Kuaifeng)

Third Place: Kai Niu Ye – Challenge Time: 8 hours 42 minutes 36 seconds – Floor: 33 (Guild: Heavy Machinery)

...

The gap between the first-place Cang Qiong and the second-place Gu Chen is absolutely enormous.

Lu Cang ignored the players who were watching; there was nothing they could do in the city except watch.

Leng Qingying waited by the nearby wall. She leaned against the wall quietly, seemingly blending into the environment. It would be hard to notice that there was someone there unless you paid close attention.

"President, you've made quite a commotion."

Lu Cang naturally noticed Leng Qingying's presence; guild members nearby were highlighted.

Of course, even without this highlight, Leng Qingying still couldn't escape Lu Cang's eyes.

Lu Cang glanced at the sky.

The sun is about to set; it's dusk.

Before accepting the awakening quest, Lu Cang was unaware of the specific details of the quest for the other characters.

However, Lu Cang was still aware of the profession of Twilight Shadow.

"Okay, it's your turn."

On the roof, a cat-eared orc with a longbow slung over its back swished its tail, watching the sky emerge from the Tower of Confusion and then disappear into the distance.

"Oh~"

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

[Trial City - Wilderness (East) - Crimson Grassland]

Bai Lu and her teammates from the wild team arrived at a crimson grassland. The light of dusk shone on the crimson grass, and the interplay of light and shadow created a unique beauty.

Suddenly, Jayne, who was leading the team, stopped abruptly. He swallowed hard: "Human, Azure Sky, have you cleared the 60th floor of the Tower of Bewilderment?"

The Tower of Bewilderment is the iconic trial of the Trial City, and almost every player who comes to this city knows of its existence.

"60 floors?" The night elf was shocked when he heard this.

Bullhead was also somewhat shocked when he heard the news.

Not long ago, they had just heard the news that the brave warrior had smashed the wooden dummy, and now the Azure Sky had climbed to the top of the 60th floor of the Tower of Bewilderment. The strength of this human race that had just entered the city was a bit too frightening.

"These humans are too powerful!" the Bull Demon said in a simple, honest voice.

Even the [Magic Crystal Cube] flashed a faint red light, a sign that it had received a warning.

Only Bai Lu yawned casually and looked into the distance.

Brother, you've made too much of a commotion. The whole city knows about it now. With us being so high-profile, won't we be targeted by these alien races?

After all... the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.

But this worry only lasted for a moment. Bai Lu stretched and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, her brother would be there to take care of things if the sky fell. She just needed to be a little mage in the team and throw things around.

Feeling her teammates' gazes directed at her, Bai Lu looked away, avoiding eye contact.

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything about the Tower of Bewilderment."

After crossing the grassland, the group arrived at a red forest.

The team members then saw the boss's presence.

The trees surrounding the boss are covered with a dense, intricate web of nets.

Surrounding the boss are a large circle of the same race: the Spider Clan, whose upper bodies are humanoid monsters and whose lower bodies are spiders.

"Get out of the way!"

"This boss has been taken over by our Spider Clan!"

"Kill anyone who gets close!"

One after another, the spiders swarmed around, howling, their four arms holding four identical blades, pointing them at other players who wanted to approach the boss, preventing them from getting close.

Seeing how arrogant these alien races were, the white deer couldn't help but feel curious and asked the elf, Jayne, "Why do they dare to drive away other races like this? Aren't they afraid of being ganged up on?"
