Chapter 427: Chapter 427 They’re Looking for a Chance to Escape

The Trial Tower consists of seven layers.

It is said that no one has reached the seventh layer of the Formation Sect’s Trial Tower in the past hundred years.

Rumor has it that the Spiritual Puppets on that layer even possess the strength of the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm.

However, these are only rumors, and as for the truth, no one knows.

After reaching the sixth layer of the Trial Tower, Lin Chen saw Qin Kaifeng, Ouyang Xuan, and the Little Princess of Yanwu Country, Xia Wanxin. Apart from these three, there was also a woman with purple hair, constantly following Xia Wanxin, who was, in fact, Xia Wanxin’s personal maid.

Besides these four, there was also a bald man whose brow featured a third eye, though it was closed.

"Brother Lin, you haven’t let me down, making it to this sixth layer of the Trial Tower."

"I wonder how many Spiritual Puppets have been extinguished by Brother Lin’s hand along the way."

"The number of puppets that perished by my hand is neither too many nor too few, exactly two hundred and fifty, including four at the Half-Step Return to Void Realm."

Upon Lin Chen’s arrival, Qin Kaifeng immediately spoke of his combat achievements, very interested in the number of Spiritual Puppets Lin Chen had killed.

When Qin Kaifeng said this, Xia Wanxin, Ouyang Xuan, the purple-robed maid, and the bald man all looked at Qin Kaifeng as if he were a monster.

This was solely because Qin Kaifeng was just too abnormal. During the previous battles with the Spiritual Puppets, he had suppressed them completely, mercilessly annihilating them.

"I have about the same number as Brother Qin."

Lin Chen was also somewhat surprised after hearing Qin Kaifeng announce his achievements.

His ability to kill the Spiritual Puppets against the natural order was entirely due to his cultivation of the Primordial Transformation Art, which had a suppressive effect on the Puppets.

"About the same number as what?"

Qin Kaifeng, with his strong competitive spirit, wanted to know the exact number of Spiritual Puppets Lin Chen had killed.

However, Lin Chen did not want to be too showy in front of so many proud talents, to avoid arousing jealousy, so he just laughed it off.

Qin Kaifeng assumed Lin Chen was just saving face because there was a large difference between their kill counts, so he did not insist on an answer.

Then, the layer brightened again, with Spiritual Energy surging.

This time, facing ten people, there appeared an astonishing total of a thousand Spiritual Puppets.

Among them, there were even a hundred at the Half-Step Return to Void Realm and another ten at the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm.

"This... is this the strength of the Spiritual Puppets in the sixth layer of the Trial Tower after the anomaly?"

Seeing the number and cultivation of the Spiritual Puppets before him, Du Feiyu was internally shaken and began to feel uneasy.

He was already having a bit of trouble dealing with the Half-Step Return to Void Realm Puppets, so facing those of the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm, he certainly would be unable to defeat them.

"Everyone, this will be a fierce battle."

Ouyang Xuan’s gaze fell on the Spiritual Puppets; his expression was solemn.

Xia Wanxin and the purple-robed maiden were also earnest, while only Lin Chen and Qin Kaifeng remained unconcerned.

"Brother Lin, do your best. Our bet still stands. After we get out, I really want to see how my points compare with yours..."

In Qin Kaifeng’s eyes, Lin Chen’s combat power was the strongest among the nine others here, apart from himself. Having fought with Lin Chen, he was well aware of Lin Chen’s might.

Qin Kaifeng had a strong competitive spirit, so he was very eager to have a match with Lin Chen.

Afterward, everyone began to make their move, fighting fiercely against the Spiritual Puppets.

...

At the Formation Sect, outside the Trial Tower, on the Spiritual Power Illusion Platform.

At this moment, the three Outer Sect Elders presiding over the event, Tang Yuntian, Tang Yunshan, and Tang Yunfei, furrowed their brows. After Lin Chen and the others entered the sixth level of the Trial Tower, the connection they had with the tower weakened.

Therefore, they were unaware of the situation inside the tower.

After all, the Trial Tower was not their creation or construction; they simply possessed the magic technique to activate it.

Meanwhile, Inner Sect Elders like Mu Qianqiu and many disciples of the Formation Sect, as well as those who had participated in the competition and already come out of the Trial Tower, were all looking up at the ten spots of light on the sixth level of the tower.

At this moment, everyone knew that the ten people still inside the tower were the ones with the best talents in this competition. It seemed inevitable that they would become Inner Sect Disciples, and perhaps some might even be taken on as Core Disciples.

"Brother Lin, please be careful and don’t push yourself too hard."

Qiu Ya was clenching her fists tight at this moment, her face full of worry.

"Don’t worry, little beauty. With his combat strength, the sixth level of the Trial Tower can’t trouble him."

Hong Lan looked at Qiu Ya’s worried face and went over to her, speaking out.

Hearing this, Qiu Ya gave a faint nod, but the concern on her face did not diminish one bit.

Meanwhile, the others outside the tower were also pointing at the spots of light on the Trial Tower, chatting and discussing among themselves.

Whoosh—

Just as the crowd’s discussion continued, a figure suddenly fell from above. It was a member of Deng Yu’s team, and as soon as the person landed, a stone tablet below the Trial Tower displayed the score of his Trial Tower entry.

"Meng Yuan, passed the fifth level of the Trial Tower, killed twelve Spiritual Puppets, scored one hundred and twenty points."

The crowd looked at the information displayed on the stone tablet below the Trial Tower and couldn’t help feeling envious.

Because martial artists who scored over a hundred points were few and far in previous years, these scores could have placed one in the top three.

However, in this year’s event, this score didn’t seem to be the best since there were still nine people inside the tower.

Whoosh, whoosh—

Soon after Meng Yuan fell from the high tower, two more figures followed suit, coming down from above; they were the muscular giant and Du Feiyu.

Their scores were one hundred fifty and one hundred thirty points, respectively.

All three had significant injuries, looking rather bedraggled. With a hint of fear still in their eyes as they looked up at the Trial Tower, it was clear the challenge was indeed not something they could handle with their current abilities.

If they hadn’t found the opportunity to escape through the transport window amidst the attack of such a large number of Spiritual Puppets, they might have perished inside.

"How did it go inside, what was the battle situation like?"

Seeing Du Feiyu also fly out from the Trial Tower, Hong Lan quickly approached to ask. She was actually quite worried about Lin Chen’s safety, understanding that despite not knowing the number of Spiritual Puppets on the sixth level of the Trial Tower, Du Feiyu’s ragged state suggested it was immensely dangerous.

"Not good, apart from those three freaks, everyone else wasn’t really trying to kill the Spiritual Puppets but looking for an opportunity to run for their lives."
