Three Towers Game

Chapter 1225: Chapter 384: The Beginning of Tang Rui’s Exclusive Quest (Part 3)

Yellow Springs’ gaze carried a hint of disdain.

”No wonder, such a perverse ability.”

Albert could imagine that under the constellations, this guy’s strength was formidable. Without special means, it was indeed impossible to kill this monster named Yellow Springs.

However, Albert no longer frowned, but relaxed his brow, revealing a smile.

”The aura of these monsters, when gathered together, seems somewhat similar to the Fist Force I release. Quite an impressive ability.”

”Really quite good.”

Yellow Springs couldn’t understand why this old man’s attacks had no effect on him, yet he could still smile.

Albert once again took on a stance ready to throw a punch, and the old man’s smile became even more apparent:

”However, I just discovered something...”

”In the midst of it, your aura completely disappeared, like you’ve escaped into some other dimension.”

”I suppose my Fist Force also entered that other dimension.”

”You weren’t simply dodging; you were absorbing my power and yourself into that dimension.”

”In that space, my power would be transformed into that of the ragged forces you summon.”

Yellow Springs understood, this old man was terrifying, for he could guess nearly all of his tactics with merely two attacks.

But so what if he guessed correctly?

Yellow Springs disdainfully spread his arms, displaying a posture of ”What can you do to me?”

”Xun Hui indeed wasn’t your match, lucky me to fight you first.”

Albert twisted his neck:

”After the first punch, these monsters emerged from the ground about three seconds later.”

”But the second time, under continuous punches, the time these monsters took to emerge was two seconds slower.”

”I can understand that the world you reside in converts slower due to too much energy output from the opponent.”

Like Sagittarius, Albert’s fists were unavoidable, absolutely hitting the mark.

This time, Yellow Springs could clearly feel the muscles of this old man twisting.

A fearsome force was gathering in the old man’s fists!

Albert said disdainfully:

”In other words, the attack value limit of your proud Otherworld has a limit, right?”

As the words fell, Yellow Springs felt a shiver from deep within his soul.

This strange old man’s fist—here it came again! Only this time, the punch was powerful beyond comprehension.

This ultimate killing weapon of Hujiang... consciousness was shattered by the horrific Fist Force.

It didn’t even have time to change its expression.

It only felt that familiar force once again enveloping it, retreating it back into that dimension.

But the next moment, it was horrified to discover its body was continuously disintegrating.

No... not just the body, but the special world that could transform opponent attacks into ”Dead Qi” was collapsing altogether.

Just like a game where the opponent could not only kill itself with one punch but also blow up the respawn springs in the safe zone, this was simply incomprehensible.

This was Yellow Springs’ final thought.

This fearsome monster, a temporarily unmatched presence on the Hujiang battlefield, was destroyed by Albert’s fist capable of annihilating everything, taking Yellow Springs’ special pseudo-Netherworld down with it.

Post-battle, watching the surrounding shattered space slowly self-repair, Albert blew on his fist:

”A nice warm-up project. Just a bit top-heavy.”

Hours of travel, three minutes of combat... this experience left Albert feeling unsatisfied.

Fortunately, there seemed to be some extra rewards from this mission—

[You have achieved an unprecedented accomplishment; please check the specifics at the heart-seeking place.]

The prompt had appeared, intensifying Albert’s smile.

Receiving this prompt meant...

At the same time teaming up to enter the Slaughter Tower, Wen Xishu had successfully—pushed the ”Slaughter Tower plot.”

This was the retreat tower kill prompt, a special kill prompt that could only be unlocked by altering the fate trajectory of certain boss-level existences within the Slaughter Tower.

Although Albert had previously heard the Academy Spirit say that Wen Xishu hoped to kill at every sight of Yellow Springs...

But evidently, unless Yellow Springs ”returns” in the future, there wouldn’t be a chance to kill Yellow Springs again in the Slaughter Tower.

Albert was quite gratified but also quite curious—

What exactly did Wen Xishu do to cause a fate trajectory change in a boss-level monster?

Immediately, he was a bit worried that Wen Xishu pushed the ”plot,” but this didn’t mean Wen Xishu was truly safe.

Yet this time, for some special reasons, he genuinely couldn’t help Wen Xishu.

...

...

Hours earlier.

In the Slaughter Tower rest area, Wen Xishu and Albert appeared together, emerging in the Celestial Essence Region.

Their task division was clear.

The old principal was responsible for the kills, while Wen Xishu handled unlocking the retreat tower kill conditions.

Wen Xishu originally wasn’t confident in pushing the ”fate trajectory,” but only after reaching the rest area did he gain confidence.

Because he received the following prompt.

[Note: Due to carrying the special item ”Tang Rui’s Letter,” this Slaughter Tower journey will trigger a special recruitment task. The owner of the letter will be individually transported to the task corresponding area, and the Slaughter Value restriction will be temporarily lifted, with survival difficulty dependent on the task, not the current tier.]

This prompt gave Wen Xishu a sense of unease.

After all, Slaughter Tang Rui is very strong, and the task they were about to trigger might be to help Tang Rui solve certain troubles.

This was the most crucial point—if Tang Rui couldn’t resolve it, could his abilities solve it?

Bear in mind, the Slaughter Tower is a place that truly speaks to combat ability.

However, Wen Xishu couldn’t rely entirely on the old principal because although they were in a team status, the task still had to be completed independently by Wen Xishu.

After all, the old principal had nothing to do with the letter.

With this in mind, Wen Xishu decided to act separately from the old principal.

Thus, in the following hours, the old principal directly headed to Hujiang to find Yellow Springs.

While Wen Xishu chose to challenge this task.

”Although I’m unclear about the task difficulty...”

”But the good news is that having the task allows certainty in changing Tang Rui’s fate trajectory. As long as nothing goes awry on my end, Yellow Springs can be killed by the old principal for retreat tower conditions.”

Wen Xishu checked his ”trump card.”

The Mad Dice and Scorpion Knife, along with the Tower Power Value and Realm of Only Me, the Three Phases version Spiritual Bullet Screen, various runes...

Although he felt inner unease, worrying his strength was inadequate.

Yet he also harbored a contradictory desire to test his efforts in the Slaughter Tower.

Without overthinking it, Wen Xishu and the old principal simultaneously activated their Login Devices, departing the rest area, entering the Slaughter Tower World.
