Qin Ze cut his finger open, forcing out a drop of blood that landed on the Dragon-Slaying Whip.
As the scenery before him flashed, Qin Ze stood in front of the Tower of Babel, a tower a hundred feet tall, towering into the clouds, exuding an ancient aura.
This is the legendary test of striking the dragon whip.
He took a deep breath, gazed at the top of the tower, his heart resolute, and began to embark on this challenging journey.
The first few dozen floors didn't seem difficult for Qin Ze. He climbed steadily, each step firm and powerful, almost effortlessly.
But as he continued to climb, the Tower of Babel gradually became steeper, and an indescribable pressure permeated the tower, as if it would crush his body to pieces.
When we reached the 80th floor, the situation began to change.
The air inside the tower became heavy, as if an invisible force was pressing down on him.
Qin Ze's breathing became rapid, and sweat kept sliding down his forehead, but his eyes became more and more determined.
He knew that this was just the beginning of the real test.
As you move up to the 80th or 90th floor, the situation becomes increasingly difficult.
Every step he took seemed to require tremendous effort, and every inch of progress required a huge drain on his physical strength.
But Qin Ze never gave up. He gritted his teeth, took firm steps, and moved forward step by step.
When he stepped onto the ninetieth floor, the atmosphere inside the Tower of Babel became unusually heavy, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him.
His breathing became difficult, but he never stopped.
If any member of the Zhao family saw this scene, they would be absolutely astonished, because apart from the Zhao family's ancestor, no one had ever climbed above the 90th floor.
Areas with a scorching 90% or higher are almost a real ordeal.
Every step he took seemed like a struggle, as if his steps were being pulled down by the gravity of the Tower of Babel.
Finally, when he reached the ninety-ninth floor, the aura of the Tower of Babel seemed to reach its peak, the oppressive feeling almost suffocating him. But this time, Qin Ze's eyes shone brightly, his body trembled, yet he stood steadily at the top of the tower.
He felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. This test was not only a test of his physical strength, but also a test of his will.
He knew that only with unwavering faith and perseverance could he climb to the top of the tower.
Standing atop the tower, he looked down at everything below, his heart filled with satisfaction and pride.
Having passed the test of striking the dragon whip, he felt his own growth and became even more determined to move forward.
At this moment, Qin Ze seemed to be standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, his eyes filled with confidence and power.
But Qin Ze's gaze remained unwavering. He focused his mind and energy, channeling his power, and gradually adapted to the pressure.
The Tower of Babel is not only a test for those who pass through it, but also a purification of their inner willpower!
Standing atop the Tower of Babel, Qin Ze gradually calmed down. He felt the surging power within him, as if he had received some kind of special revelation. Just as he was about to reflect on his growth, suddenly, nine figures appeared before him.
These nine figures, each with beast-headed, human-bodied forms and distinct features, exuded a powerful aura that commanded respect. They gazed at Qin Ze, their eyes revealing a hint of surprise and approval.
One of the figures let out a low laugh, his voice hoarse and deep: "Young man, congratulations on successfully challenging the Tower of Babel. This is the first time in thousands of years that someone has passed it. However, the Tower of Babel's recognition is not so easy to obtain."
Another figure added, "Yes, to gain the Dragon Whip's approval, you'll need to defeat all nine of us. Although we'll suppress our strength to the peak of Grandmaster level, we won't hold back easily."
They realized that Qin Ze's strength was only at the peak of the Grandmaster level.
Having been familiar with the novel's plot, he was not at all surprised by the appearance of the nine-headed demon beast.
