He forgot that his junior sister was incredibly strong; he'd miscalculated. Even so, he was determined to hold on tight and not let go.
"Senior sister, he pulled me, look!" Nian Wanzhou raised her hand and yanked him, showing it to Wei Wenru who was working hard, as if to complain.
Unfortunately, Wei Wenru was too focused on the situation and didn't notice their movements at all.
"Haha, no one's backing you up anymore, you're finished, Nian Wanzhou~" Le Xi laughed like a devil, gripping Nian Wanzhou's hand tighter and tighter, and took a big step to walk alongside her.
Even if he works himself to death, he won't let that bastard get away with it!
After saying that, he slapped Nian Wanzhou back to her original form, tucked her between his left arms, and walked upwards with a fierce expression, as if he had gained some motivation.
"Help! My second senior brother is killing me!"
Never mind, nobody's paying attention to her... Nian Wanzhou felt bored, nestled warmly in Le Xi's arms, and then fell asleep.
Lexi: Speechless... I climbed the stairs with all my might, and my junior sister not only caused trouble but also provoked me. In the end, she actually fell asleep in my arms.
I don't think I've ever tried hugging my junior sister.
Hmm, feels good~
...
Wei Wenru's impulsiveness persisted until the very end, when she finally climbed the last flight of stairs.
People came up one after another, which took up a lot of time.
"We're here! We're here!" Xingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and jumped up happily.
It roared and screamed in a broken voice, looking like it had just survived a disaster, which frightened the others so much that they trembled and knelt on the ground, right in front of a stone statue monster that was guarding it.
Stone Statue Monster: ? This is the first time in so many years that someone has bowed so deeply to him upon meeting him. I'm so touched, sob sob.
We must make sure they pass!
As soon as Nian Wanzhou woke up, she saw a group of people kneeling in front of her: "You got up too fast, you should go back to sleep."
"Wake up! You've climbed all the stairs, what are you sleeping for? You rascal, wake up!" Le Xi picked up the little dragon cub and shook it vigorously, retaliating by waking the sleepy cub up.
"Ah, you stinky second senior brother!" Nian Wanzhou broke free, kicked Le Xi and ran away, disappearing in a flash back to Wei Wenru's side.
Lexi felt a sudden emptiness in her arms and felt a sense of loss and desolation.
The spot where I was kicked hurts terribly!
"Cultivators, congratulations on reaching the fourth level. Please step forward to undergo the assessment." The stone statue beast spoke gently, but it couldn't help but tremble slightly in fear when it saw the little dragon cub.
Although the little guy is cute, his naturally imposing aura is terrifying.
"What kind of assessment is it?" Wei Wenru asked as she walked in front, her arm wrapped around Nian Wanzhou's.
"Um, you...you stay away from me, okay?" the stone statue beast said somewhat fearfully. The aura of this human and dragon was too powerful, and there was also the scent of a phoenix. It couldn't stand it.
Wei Wenru took a few steps back, her face darkening.
She had completely forgotten that her junior sister was a natural enemy of demonic beasts, and that she also had a phoenix in her storage bag.
"The fourth level is to test everyone's basic strength. Simply put, you have to pass the test of the monster group to have a chance to move up."
Of course, the difficulty of the assessment will be adjusted according to each person's specific cultivation level, so you don't need to worry about getting injured and not being able to complete it.
It sounds simple.
Only Wei Wenru and her two companions, who had enjoyed smooth sailing since entering the group, found it easy.
Song Yan and the others felt a headache coming on. They had been chased by demonic beasts ever since they entered, and those beasts were much stronger than them.
Even if they are of the same cultivation level, it takes a lot of effort to defeat them, which is very tiring.
It's another horde of monsters!
But we've come this far, so we have to give it our all.
"Get ready and I'll teleport you there~" Seeing the seven nod, the stone statue monster happily saw them off, waiting for the next group.
Another newcomer has entered the Demon Tower. I wonder if they'll have to give him a grand salute again...
In different spaces, everyone faces different groups of monsters. In the space where Nian Wanzhou is located, she faces a group of Devouring Beasts.
They were all at the Nascent Soul stage.
It's even more powerful than the one we saw before.
The rest of the people endured grueling training and trials, where they could not use any of the magical artifacts that could be controlled or used for explosive purposes, except for those that could save their lives.
You can only rely on your own strength to fight for it.
Sword cultivators would swing their swords tens of thousands of times until their arms were practically useless; alchemists would use all sorts of poison pills to compete in strength and see who was more powerful; and then there were body cultivators, who competed in stamina.
As the year draws to a close, Nian Wanzhou plunges into a group of Devouring Beasts and displays her prowess with ease. What is she afraid of?
Like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger, its fierce charge terrified the Devouring Beast, who had never seen such a courageous cultivator before! And it was especially strange that it was a dragon.
"Awooo!" The monsters on Nian Wanzhou's side made the biggest commotion.
Some were angry, some were afraid, and some were excited about the challenge.
Wei Wenru was the first to come out as always.
"Congratulations! You only took the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, making you the fastest ever. I have prepared a gift for you here, a cultivation manual. Please take it." The stone statue beast respectfully handed over a tattered cultivation manual.
The profound Daoist meaning contained within it can be felt even from a great distance.
"Thank you." Wei Wenru thanked them and accepted the gift, concealing her inner joy as she waited for the others to come out.
But before anyone could come out, a new wave of people arrived.
"Sure enough, someone came in before us!" A male voice came from behind, causing Wei Wenru to turn around and look.
The person who came was Cui Kaichao of the Xuanwu Sect, who ranked third in the competition.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to be the first one to enter." Cui Kaichao walked up to her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of admiration. "I wonder what level your cultivation has reached, Fellow Daoist Wei? I can't tell at all."
Wei Wenru smiled politely and replied, "Coincidentally, my cultivation level hasn't changed."
"I thought Fellow Daoist Wei had deliberately lowered his cultivation level." Cui Kaichao smiled, his peach blossom eyes revealing an ambiguous look.
"I don't have that kind of free time," Wei Wenru replied indifferently, then moved aside to wait for someone else.
"Who is she? Senior brother was trying to talk to her kindly, and she still gave him a hard time. Tsk tsk, it seems the people in the Heavenly Mystery Sect aren't all that great." The man in blue robes not far away whispered, his brows revealing a hint of arrogance. "And now she's even at the Nascent Soul stage."
"Then I'll take my leave now, Fellow Daoist Wei, goodbye." Cui Kaichao smiled and bowed again before turning to leave.
Wei Wenru didn't even glance at him.
"Tch, she really thinks she's something. Her senior brother greeted her, and she put on airs." Cui Haoze muttered discontentedly, "What an arrogant woman. Senior brother must teach her a lesson in the future."
"Xiao Hao, you shouldn't say such things. Senior brother greatly admires Fellow Daoist Wei." Cui Kaichao shook his head disapprovingly and slapped him across the face.
