Chapter 148 - The 100th Floor

Once all of the disciples left the scene with the sect elders remaining, Long Yijun turned to look at the low-ranking sect elders and shouted, ”This includes the sect elders! Or are you trying to tell me that youʼre not disciples?!”

The sect elders there immediately began sweating and ran away in a hurry, silently wondering to themselves why they couldnʼt be there as well.

”What the heck? Weʼre sect elders, right? Why canʼt we be there as well?” One of them asked after they were all very far away from the Carp Leaping Over Dragonʼs Gate Tower.

”Why are you asking us? Do we look like the Sect Master to you?” Another one said.

”Haaa… I wanted to know who was inside that tower, though.”

”What about the record book? Surely, we can find out if we look at whoever signed up for the tower, right?”

”Youʼre right! Thereʼs the record book! Who is in charge of that this week?”

”That would be Elder Bao, right? But I donʼt see him here.”

Meanwhile, the disciples were also complaining to each other—

”Why were we chased away? Whatʼs wrong with seeing the person inside the tower?”

”Who knows. Maybe you should ask the Sect Master afterward.”

”Do you think I have a fucking death wish?!”

”Weʼll eventually find out. Thereʼs no way someone so talented can be kept hidden for long.”

Back at the Carp Leaping Over Dragonʼs Gate Tower, Long Yijun and the other high-ranking sect elders there all stared at a middle-aged man who was soaking in cold sweats at this moment.

”Let me see the record book.” Long Yijun extended his hand to the sect elder who managed the records.

”Here you go, Sect Master…” Elder Bao handed the book to Long Yijun with trembling hands, and he recalled how heʼd disrespected the young Outer Court disciple who signed up after Min Li.

ʼFuck, fuck, fuck! I am so fucking dead! If they learn that Iʼve offended the person inside the tower right now, they will eat me alive!ʼ Elder Bao cried inwardly, feeling like heʼd fall unconscious from fear at any moment.

A few moments later, Long Yijun mumbled, ”I knew it… Itʼs Disciple Yuan thatʼs inside right now.”

”Did you even need to look at the book, Sect Master? Iʼm pretty sure we already knew…” Elder Shan said with a smile on her face, and she turned to look at the tower and continued to speak, ”Do you think heʼll achieve 100 floors?”

”We already know that heʼs more talented than the Founder so thatʼs very likely,” said Elder Xuan.

”Anyway, you are Sect Elder Bao, right?” Bai Ling approached him and asked.

”T-Thatʼs right!” Elder Bao quickly nodded.

Bai Ling then placed his large hands onto Elder Baoʼs shoulders firmly before speaking in a serious and deep voice, ”I want you to listen to me very carefully, Elder Bao. The disciple who entered this tower— Disciple Yuan— you will not reveal any information about him no matter what! In fact, you can forget about what happened here today, do you understand me?”

Elder Bao immediately nodded his head, shaking his sweat all over the place.

However, Elder Shan approached them and said, ”I donʼt think he understands, Elder Bai. We need to ensure that he doesnʼt forget it by next week…”

Elder Bao looked at Elder Shanʼs beautiful face with wide eyes filled with shock and fear. What is she going to do with him?

”You donʼt have to bully him, Elder Shan. Iʼm sure we can trust Elder Bao to keep something this small as a secret. After all, he wouldnʼt be a sect elder if he couldnʼt.” Xin Ming shook his head and said to her, subtly threatening Elder Baoʼs position as sect elder.

”I wonʼt say anything! I swear, Seniors! I didnʼt see or hear anything today! In fact, I wasnʼt even here today! Disciple who? I donʼt even know what youʼre talking about!” Elder Bao quickly exclaimed, feeling as though there were knives around his neck at this moment, and a single wrong word might get him killed.

”See? Elder Bao understands.” Xin Ming laughed out loud afterward.

”Whatever.” Elder Shan no longer cared about Elder Bao and turned around to continue watching the tower.

”You may leave now, Elder Bao.” Long Yijun said to him who immediately scrambled away in a heartbeat, like a rabbit running away from a group of tigers and lions.

”So this is the Disciple Yuan that I have been hearing so much about from you guys. I thought you were all exaggerating, but alas, it seems like I am still a frog in a well…” One of the high-ranking sect elders there suddenly spoke, as he wasnʼt there when Yuan introduced himself.

”Welcome to Disciple Yuanʼs talent show, Elder Zou. Just wait until he clears the 100th floor— thatʼs when the real show begins.” Elder Shan chuckled in a cute manner.

Meanwhile, inside the tower, Yuan has just reached the 99th floor.

«Congratulations on reaching the 99th floor. The difficulty has been adjusted.»

«Magical Beasts will now have ʼSuperior Regenerationʼ»

«Magical Beasts will now have ʼSuperior Physical Damage Resistanceʼ»

«Magical Beasts will now have ʼSuperior Spiritual Damage Resistanceʼ»

«Magical Beasts will now have ʼPowerful Intimidation Auraʼ»

«Magical Beasts will now have ʼPowerful Damage Mitigationʼ»

«Magical Beasts will have their power, speed, and defenses increased significantly»

«The number of Magical Beasts in the room has increased to 99»

”99 monsters this time, huh?” Yuan smiled bitterly when the number of monsters doubled compared to the previous floor, and they were all at the peak of the Spirit Warrior realm.

Yuan raised the Empyrean Overlord and charged at the group of magical beasts with a calm expression on his face, and the Starry Abyss followed him from behind for a second before it shot itself forward and began slaying the magical beasts with ease.

A couple of minutes later, all 99 magical beasts were slain by Yuan.

«You have passed floor 99! Proceed to the final floor and prepare to challenge the Great One!»

Yuanʼs eyebrows raised in a surprised manner when he saw this notification.

”The Great One? Iʼll have to fight that Dragon? Are you kidding me?! How am I supposed to defeat a Dragon thatʼs countless times larger than myself and can even destroy stars with a mere gaze?!” Yuan cried out loud.
