Xu Que stuffed the 10 Empty Sky Pills into his mouth. They were tasteless and melted in his mouth. It was as if he was eating air.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, he felt as if his brain was about to explode. His mind expanded and his senses became more sensitive. It was as if he could sense every corner of the first level of the Tower of Souls!
"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for consuming 10 Empty Sky Pills. His soul strength has increased by 10%!"
Following the sound of the system notification, Xu Que awoke from that mysterious state. It was as if his entire body was filled with an inexhaustible amount of energy. His brain also operated at a much faster speed.
"So this is the benefit of having a strong soul strength. This is amazing. If I knew this would happen, I would have given it a try!" Xu Que's lips curled into a smile as he strode towards the staircase leading to the second level.
"Eh? Quick, look! That black robed kid can move now! "
"That's weird. He was obviously being suppressed at the entrance just now. Why is he fine now?"
"Could it be that … his soul strength has been tempered and he had a breakthrough?"
"How is this possible? Even though soul strength is mysterious and mysterious, how can there be such a rapid breakthrough in this world? "
The cultivators outside the Tower of Souls realized that Xu Que could suddenly move and exclaimed in shock.
As for the cultivators from the second stage, they all revealed a smile as if they had seen through everything.
"Haha, I knew it."
"Luckily we didn't fall for it. He must have been faking it."
"That's right. He wanted to trick more people into going in. Luckily we endured it."
"This Hua Wu Que is really scary. Hehe, the people inside are going to be in trouble."
...
At the same time, on the second level of the Tower of Souls.
Quite a few cultivators were stuck on this level. Every single one of them had a solemn expression on their faces as they concentrated on resisting the terrifying soul suppression of the second level.
In reality, this type of soul strength had the effect of strengthening a cultivator's soul. Once they had tempered their soul strength, they would be able to get used to the pressure. If they continued to fight against it, they would have a high chance of breaking through to the third level.
However, that was under normal circumstances. Now that Xu Que was here, it became a special case.
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Why are you all standing here without moving?" As soon as Xu Que came up, he immediately laughed and stared at the few cultivators who had mocked him before.
Those people had finally managed to focus their attention, but they were immediately frightened away by Xu Que's loud laughter. They became furious and glared at Xu Que.
Then, they were stunned.
Xu Que, who had just been ridiculed by them, was now walking towards them with a smile on his face. His shoulders were shaking as he walked, looking like a hooligan.
But it was precisely this appearance that showed how relaxed Xu Que was in the face of the suppression of the second level.
"How is this possible?"
"Aren't you stuck on the first level?" Several cultivators were shocked, but their bodies were still unable to move.
Xu Que smiled disdainfully and said, "What a joke. Reaching my realm and strength, is it possible for me to be stuck in the first level? Just now, I suddenly felt hungry and stopped to think about what to eat later. But, I never expected that … "
Xu Que's expression changed abruptly. His face was filled with grief and anger, as if he had suffered a great injustice. He then said, "You actually dared to open your mouths and laugh at me. You attacked me and caused great damage to my weak soul. So, now, all of you have to pay the price."
The few cultivators paused for a moment before laughing fearlessly, "Hehe, in a place like this, what do you think you can do?"
"There are rules here. If you dare to use your skills against us, the Tower of Souls will immediately send you out with us."
"That's right. With your soul strength, you should be able to rush to the fourth level. If you fight to the death with us here, you will only be at a disadvantage."
"Feel free to try!"
…
When Xu Que heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Damn it, this stupid Tower of Souls has such rules? Not allowed to use skills? And I can't even hurt him? Fuck me, why didn't the Sky Incense Valley disciples say anything?
He was a little suspicious. But … the few people in front of him didn't seem to be lying.
"What's wrong? You don't dare to fight anymore? "
"Haha, anyway, our chances of reaching the third level are very slim. If you want to be sent out with us, we don't mind." The few of them started laughing out loud.
However, if one were to observe them carefully, they would realize that although they were talking, their souls were still very tense. They didn't dare to relax at all.
Xu Que seemed to have realized something. His eyes lit up and his mouth curled into a smile.
Without saying a word, he turned around and found a corner where there was no one around. He then walked over.
The few cultivators frowned and were a little suspicious. However, they heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Although they were verbally provoking Xu Que to attack them, they didn't want to be sent out of the Tower of Souls at the second level. This meant that they would be eliminated at this stage and would never be able to enter the Sky Incense Valley again.
"Luckily, he didn't dare to fight to the death with us."
"Let's continue to concentrate our soul strength. There is still hope for us to rush to the third level."
The few of them looked at each other and started to train their soul strength.
Xu Que walked slowly to a corner and called out the system. He then started to dig out items from his storage space.
"Kuang dang!"
A metal pot was thrown out and the sound of it echoed throughout the entire second level.
The few cultivators who were about to enter the state of meditation were suddenly startled awake. Their soul strength was even slightly scattered and they were almost sent out of the Tower of Souls.
They stared at Xu Que angrily and said coldly, "Friend, if you did this on the third level, it might have been useful to us. But here on the second level, we won't lose our soul strength so quickly."
However, Xu Que didn't even look at them and continued to dig out items from his storage space.
"Kuang la!"
Another pile of firewood fell out.
"..."
"What is this guy trying to do?" The few cultivators widened their eyes.
Following which, they saw Xu Que pick up a small piece of firewood and sit on the ground. He then placed the end of the small firewood on the surface of a piece of firewood. He then clasped his hands together and started rubbing them.
"Pu!"
At that moment, one of the cultivators couldn't take it anymore and his soul strength started to scatter. He had just broken through a critical point and was sent out of the Tower of Souls.
…
…
Outside the tower, the crowd was still discussing why Xu Que could suddenly move. In the end, a crisp sound came from the tower and a figure was sent out.
"Eh, it hasn't even been half a cup of tea's time. How did he get sent out of the Tower of Souls so quickly?"
"This is the lowest record so far."
"Looks like this guy has no hope of entering Sky Incense Valley."
Everyone was bewildered.
After the cultivator landed on the ground, his face was filled with anger and grievance. He looked at the few Sky Incense Valley disciples and said unhappily, "Fellow brothers and sisters, I want to make a complaint. That black robed young man is drilling wood to make a fire in the tower! It's seriously affecting my concentration. I want to take the test again! "
Drilling wood to make a fire?
Everyone present was startled!
"Pu!"
Following which, the few cultivators from the second stage burst out laughing.
"Haha, drilling wood to make a fire. Damn it. That Master Hua is really powerful. He actually thought of such a method."
"You don't say. This method is indeed a good one. However, he would need to have a strong enough soul strength to reach the second level to be able to do that."
"But then again, what is he trying to do by drilling wood to make a fire?"
"I think he's trying to make some smoke to suffocate people. After all, the tower doesn't allow people to use spells or hurt people."
…
The few Sky Incense Valley disciples were astonished as well. After all, they had never seen such a thing happen before. Someone was actually drilling wood to make a fire in the tower …
The few of them looked at each other before one of the disciples walked out and shook his head, "It's just drilling wood to make a fire. This isn't considered a serious problem. Furthermore, there are many people on the second level. Only you were sent out. This can only mean that your soul strength is too weak."
"Dang!"
Right at this moment, another piece of wood was sucked into the second level of the Tower of Souls, making a crisp sound.
Following which, another cultivator was sent out.
Everyone was stunned once again.
The cultivator's face was also filled with anger. He was extremely unwilling to accept the result and shouted at the Sky Incense Valley disciples, "Fellow brothers and sisters, there's a black robed young man who is affecting our progress. I want to take the test again."
The Sky Incense Valley disciples furrowed their brows and replied coldly, "Drilling wood to make a fire doesn't affect us."
