Chapter 357: Chapter 357: Golden Trial Tower

Hiss, each challenge seems harder than the last.

The member from the Eight Gods Hall not only was the first to pass the challenges, but the rewards he received were also substantial. In the Bronze Trial Tower, he was enveloped in the light column for an extended time, and in the Silver Trial Tower, he obtained the only iron treasure box.

—If Shi Hao were not counted, his performance would have been the best.

But even so, he passed the third Trial Tower yet, astonishingly, he did not receive any rewards.

What does this indicate?

The passing requirements for the Golden Trial Tower are too high, he took too much time.

But if even he did not receive any rewards, who else could?

Lin Yuyue and the others all turned their gazes towards Shi Hao; although they had passed before him and could not know how much time Shi Hao had taken to pass, they were all filled with confidence in him.

This guy is too monstrous.

"What, even Senior Brother Yun didn’t get any rewards?" There were other disciples from the Eight Gods Hall outside because only ten could undergo the trial at a time. Thus, with thirteen of them, none had been eliminated yet, which naturally left three people outside.

"Alas, we underestimated this trial, to think that even Senior Brother Yun only managed to pass but didn’t earn a high evaluation."

"Hmph, if Senior Brother Yun had prepared a bit, I believe his performance could have been better, and he would have definitely received the rewards."

"It’s a pity, the Great Senior Brother didn’t come."

"Great Senior Brother is the only Nine Stars disciple of our Temple; if he were here, Humph, he would certainly sweep through."

Listened to the three people praising, everyone present raised their eyebrows.

"What, you disagree?" Tang Hai was also among them and immediately started mocking the crowd with a sarcastic tone.

Meng Hai smiled faintly, "That’s right, I do disagree!"

"Good, I’ll hold back in the next round. I want to see just what kind of performance you can put on," Tang Hai said, staring at Meng Hai with disdain in his eyes.

Meng Hai did not speak further, as if disdaining to argue with the opponent.

Time passed, and soon, the lights on the tower body went out. Those who had passed, passed, and those who had not, exited.

"After you," said Tang Hai in a mocking tone.

Meng Hai still ignored him, simply striding forward. As he walked, he began to radiate a strong sharpness, as if he himself had turned into a treasure sword capable of cutting through everything.

Ten people entered, and it wasn’t long before the first light shone bright.

Someone had passed the first layer.

It must be Meng Hai.

Tang Hai’s expression changed; this speed could probably match that of Senior Brother Yun, right?

Steady! Stay steady!

Defeating one opponent doesn’t count for much. To pass the entire Trial Tower’s test, one needs to defeat seven opponents, one after the other, without stopping!

So, simply passing is already not easy, but to want to complete it in an extremely short time?

Impossible.

Soon, the light spread to the second layer, then the third layer and the fourth. The speed was still quite fast. Not much later, Meng Hai appeared at the top of the tower.

However, like Senior Brother Yun, there was neither a column of light descending nor a treasure chest appearing.

Meng Hai frowned, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

Although he too did not receive a reward, Tang Hai could not arrogantly boast because Meng Hai’s time was almost the same as Senior Brother Yun’s. If he were to scorn this performance, he would be slapping Senior Brother Yun’s face as well.

Tang Hai nodded to himself, realizing that there really were some geniuses on the Eastern Fire Continent; he had somewhat underestimated the people from this land.

However, such geniuses should only be a rarity, and Senior Brother Yun was only an Eight Stars disciple. Compared to the Great Senior Brother, there is still a considerable gap.

Whoosh, atop the tower, Meng Hai immediately disappeared as well.

Soon, those who entered in the second round also finished their trials one after the other.

"Young Master Shi, you first!" Zhang Santian said to Shi Hao, "I believe that you can definitely break the record!"

"You can definitely do it!" Lin Yuyue’s beautiful eyes also shone with admiration.

"Hm!" Xiao Hei nodded his head, as his words were always few.

"Hahaha!" Tang Hai couldn’t help but laugh derisively, his look at Shi Hao filled with disdain, "Him of all people?"

This guy seemed to have a natural talent for mockery, always needing to take a jab at someone.

"If he can get a reward, I’ll slap myself ten times." Tang Hai said with an utterly disdainful tone.

"Hehe, just wait to slap yourself!" Lin Yuyue and the others all threw contemptuous glances his way.

Damn!

Tang Hai sneered, first it was Meng Hai, and now this Shi Hao, did he really think the Eastern Fire Continent was overflowing with talents?

Amid everyone’s expectations, Shi Hao entered the Trial Tower.

First it went dark, then the opponent for the first challenge appeared; this was the third time already.

Shi Hao knew that this couldn’t possibly be a real person; otherwise, he wouldn’t encounter the same one at the first challenge every single time.

Nevertheless, the craftsmanship was astonishing; he had to admit that he couldn’t spot any flaws just from its appearance, but once he released his Soul Tentacle, he really couldn’t sense any Life Force from it.

Bang!

There was no need for courtesy, Shi Hao directly blew the opponent away with a single punch.

So what if it surpassed him by three minor realms? He could still resolve it with one punch.

The floor ascended, taking him to the second level.

"What!" On the outside, seeing a light immediately shining upon the tower, Tang Hai’s mouth dropped open, his face filled with incredulity.

How is that possible?

How much time had passed? He had just gone in, how could he have already knocked down the first layer’s opponent?

That was way too fast.

He had seen the speed of Senior Brother Yun and Meng Hai defeating their challengers, but compared to Shi Hao, it wasn’t even in the same league.

It seemed like it was just a matter of one strike.

But the problem was, this was surpassing three minor realms, yet to knock down in one hit – what kind of terrifying strength was that?

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the light moved again, already reaching the second level.

Two opponents down.

My God! My God!

Tang Hai almost wanted to clutch his head and cry out in shock; was this charge straight to the third level?

Are you a monster?

Just as that thought rose, the light moved once more, reaching the third level.

Damn, the third level’s opponent was also taken care of.

Looking around at the others, the light on the tower had not yet reached the second level, what did this mean? No one else had beaten the first opponent yet!

Without comparison, there would be no harm felt, but wasn’t this gap a bit too big?

"Hey, you don’t need to keep watching, just start slapping your own face." Zhang Santian joked with a smile.

Tang Hai stubbornly retorted, "It’s not over yet!"

Now he could only hope that Shi Hao’s ferocity was because the other party had taken some Elixir, or had used some secret technique to burst forth with overpowering strength for a short period of time, and would soon plummet.

However, the third, fourth, and fifth levels, the light almost continually spread upward at an unstopping pace, quickly piercing through seven levels of the tower.

Shi Hao reached the top of the tower, and a golden, glowing chest abruptly fell from the sky.
