BXBX NOVEL Chapter 36 - 36: The Final Results
Lu Yun was besieged by ten late-stage second-rank demon beasts at the same time, and although his Pure Yang Aura was powerful, it appeared to be insufficient.
However, he refused to admit defeat easily and was determined not to fall at the sixth level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower. Thus, he kept moving amidst the demon beasts’ attacks, releasing bursts of powerful agressive aura and striking back constantly.
By the end, he didn’t bother dodging or retreating, opting for a “wound for wound” strategy.
After killing the fifth demon beast, Lu Yun had already suffered severe injuries, and his aggressive aura had been significantly depleted, putting a strain on his body.
Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and continued to release his aggressive aura recklessly.
After killing the sixth demon beast, his injuries got even worse.
After killing the seventh demon beast, Lu Yun could barely stand.
Upon killing the eighth demon beast, his energy was completely exhausted.
In the end, he could do nothing but watch the powerful claws of the demon beast attacking him.
At that moment, Lu Yun felt as if he was facing real death.
But at the very last moment, time seemed to stop, and a ray of light appeared around him, followed by a strong repulsive force.
“Huff!”
Lu Yun opened his eyes and realized he was no longer in the Myriad Phenomena Tower, with many eyes on him.
“Hehe, Junior Brother Lu, how did it feel to ‘die’?”
Duan Qing came over, curiously looking at Lu Yun.
Lu Yun remained silent, recalling the last scene in the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
It had to be said, the Myriad Phenomena Tower was truly amazing. At the last moment, he really believed that he was going to die under the sharp claws of the demon beast, even thinking that he would die for real.
At that moment, he was genuinely terrified.
Everyone was afraid of death, especially Lu Yun, who possessed cheats.
Fortunately, in the end, he was expelled from the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
However, one thing was certain: everything he had experienced in the Myriad Phenomena Tower was real and not an illusion.
What confused him was that his injuries had healed, but the aggressive aura in his dantian was still depleted.
Looking at Duan Qing, Lu Yun asked, “Senior Brother Duan, do you know why our injuries were instantly healed after we left the Myriad Phenomena Tower? What’s the situation?”
Duan Qing’s eyes lit up as he looked at the Myriad Phenomena Tower, and he sighed, “Spirit artifacts have spirits, and everything in the Myriad Phenomena Tower is controlled and manipulated by the Tower Spirit. The demon beasts there are created by the tower spirit using energy; they can seriously injure you but not kill you.
Furthermore, the tower spirit possesses mysterious and unfathomable healing abilities. Those seemingly gruesome injuries are nothing to the tower spirit.
Of course, these injuries are only applicable to those caused by the demon beasts formed by energy within the Myriad Phenomena Tower.”
Lu Yun nodded slightly. Possessing such a powerful ability was more than enough to demonstrate how incredible the Myriad Phenomena Tower was.
If it could heal other injuries as well, then the Myriad Phenomena Tower would be more than just a simple spirit artifact.
“Junior Brother Lu, how many demon beasts did you kill on the sixth level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower?” Duan Qing suddenly asked.
“I only managed to kill eight demon beasts using my full strength, I’m deeply ashamed!”
Recalling his arrogant words before entering the Myriad Phenomena Tower and the results now, Lu Yun couldn’t help but feel too arrogant.
Although a significant reason for this was his lack of suitable martial arts and weapons.
But failure is failure, and Lu Yun was aware of that.
Duan Qing smiled bitterly, “Entering the sixth level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower on your first attempt and killing eight late-stage second-rank demon beasts puts you among the top three of all newcomers.”
Lu Yun shook his head. He had the panel, could use energy points to increase cultivation speed, but only managed to barely rank in the top three among the newcomers. How could he be satisfied with this?
He looked up at the 108 people on the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall, and there wasn’t the slightest sense of pride or satisfaction in his heart.
“Junior Brother Lu, now that you’ve passed the first five levels of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, you’ve earned quite a few contribution points. What do you plan to do with them?” Duan Qing clapped Lu Yun on the shoulders, his eyes narrowing into slits.
“Contribution points?” Lu Yun smiled bitterly, “If it weren’t for Senior Brother reminding me, 1 would have almost forgotten about them.”
After saying that, he took out his identity jade token from his bosom and checked it, frowning as he did so.
“Only 380 contribution points. Is the reward from the Myriad Phenomena Tower really that small?”
“That’s actually quite a lot. In the Martial Academy, contribution points are very valuable. More than 300 contribution points can almost be exchanged for a top-tier martial art.”
Duan Qing glared at Lu Yun and continued, “Among people like you who just entered the academy not long ago, there are only a few who possess such a large amount of contribution points.”
Lu Yun rolled his eyes, knowing that it was only enough to exchange for a martial art, and not even a top-tier one at that.
Duan Qing smiled nonchalantly, “Hehe, I see that Junior Brother Lu is not bad. I’ll tell you some news. In the Martial Academy, you can only accumulate more resources by turning all the resources you have into your own strength.”
Lu Yun grinned, fully agreeing with this statement.
“I currently only have one top-tier martial art, and it’s not even a
combat-oriented one. 1 plan to go to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to take a look. Senior Brother Duan, would you like to come with me?”
“That’s exactly what 1 was thinking!” Duan Qing gladly agreed.
He had just broken through to the True Qi Realm recently and hadn’t had time to acquire new martial arts. Now that Lu Yun invited him, it was just what he wanted.
Under the watchful gazes of the crowd, the two happily left the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
It wasn’t until the two figures disappeared from sight that everyone else took a deep breath, exchanged glances, and began to discuss among themselves.
The content was mainly two things: First, they praised and admired Lu Yun for his achievements on the sixth level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower on his first attempt.
Second, they said that Lu Yun only spoke big words and that his actual strength was just average.
However, most people belonged to the former group, and those who ridiculed Lu Yun didn’t necessarily mean to do so. Most of them were just jealous and had to say something to put Lu Yun down.
In the valley where the elite disciples lived, in one of the courtyards, a handsome young man was sitting cross-legged, practicing with his eyes closed.
From his body emanated a vast and astonishing True Qi fluctuation, which was very imposing.
This young man was Bai Haoxuan, the only one among the new disciples with a level 6 innate talent.
His cultivation had already reached the late Meridian Passage Realm, surpassing many veteran elite disciples.
“Finally, the eighth meridian is unblocked.”
Bai Haoxuan opened his eyes, exhaling like an arrow, his breath astonishing.
“Last time, I failed on the seventh level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower because 1 had only unblocked seven meridians. Now that I’ve unblocked another meridian, my strength has increased significantly. After some time, I’ll try again and surely defeat those two demon beasts.”
Thinking of this, a satisfied smile appeared on Bai Haoxuan’s face.
He believed that as long as he passed the seventh level of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, he would be able to cement the gap between himself and other newcomers and be noticed by the higher-ups of the Martial Academy..
