The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 996 - Chapter 996 Chapter 996 Storming the Tower

Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Storming the Tower Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Storming the Tower Huang Xiaolong and the others, along with the crowd, surged into the illusory shadow of the Xuanhuang Tower.

Inside the tower!!!

The first level!

The space inside the tower seemed endlessly vast, one couldn’t see its limits at a glance!

“Hmm?” As Huang Xiaolong’s spiritual consciousness swept through, he “saw” that the four walls of the illusory shadow of the Xuanhuang Tower were actually carved with a large number of ancient and intricate inscriptions, forming one formation after another.

Even to an expert like Huang Xiaolong, these formations were outstanding, truly deserving the title of great!

“These formations contain the order of time~~” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes gleamed.

“Hubby, what do you mean by ‘the order of time’?” Huo Bingyan asked curiously beside him.

Ma Chuxia and the others also turned their attention to Huang Xiaolong.

“Haha~~~” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “It’s a bit profound to explain. I’ll just put it simply; there is no time in this tower. That is, time inside the tower does not pass, or perhaps it passes extremely slowly…”

“Little Long, I understand what you mean. So, a person could stay in the tower for a day, or even several days, and in the outside world, it might just be a moment… is that what you mean?” Yan Pianpian wore a dawning expression on her face.

“Yes. Pianpian, my clever wife,” Huang Xiaolong smiled and nodded.

“This is… this is too incredible. Even time cannot interfere with this tower…” Ma Chuxia’s eyes sparkled with amazement.

Just then–

Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~~

Suddenly, like a flurry of snowflakes, talismans began to spin out within the tower. These talismans, like phantoms, merged into the bodies of everyone inside the Xuanhuang Tower in the blink of an eye.

Surprised exclamations rose here and there, but soon everyone nodded in realization.

Talismans also fused into the bodies of Huang Xiaolong and the others.

“Don’t be nervous.” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “These talismans serve as identification numbers. Hmm, the identification number that merged into my body is 634.”

Qingqing giggled. “My lord, I feel it too… my number is 636.”

Ma Chuxia and the others couldn’t help but report their own numbers.

Huang Xiaolong flicked his fingernail and said, “Everyone who enters the Xuanhuang Tower for the test will have an identification talisman. That way, the person presiding over this test will know the results.”

“Oh, my lord, who is presiding over this test? Is it Master Zhang?” Heimei squinted and smiled.

“Of course not. It’s definitely those cultivators from overseas. Maybe it’s the cultivators from the Qingcheng Sect!” Xiaohong immediately said. “Those overseas cultivators really have formidable mana~~ That Master Zhang, compared with overseas cultivators, must be pitifully weak~~”

Hearing this, Huo Bingyan did not object and seemed to agree.

At the same time, everyone finally clearly felt the powerful waves of spiritual will rolling within the tower, tangible as they constantly swept over them. Being amidst it was like entering an ocean of spiritual power, filling the heart with awe.

These waves of spiritual will were like densely twisted beams of light, sweeping over people in completely unobstructed trajectories.

There was no escaping them; one could only allow these waves of spiritual will to scan over them.

And each wave carried a terrifying pressure!

“Eh~~ Do you guys feel anything?” Huang Xiaolong, unaffected by the wave of spiritual will that swept over him, regarded the profound spiritual pressure as if it was nothing more than a breeze past his ear, unworried by it.

Next to Huang Xiaolong, first Qingqing, Xiaohong, and Heimei, three little demons, were unaffected, unbothered by the spiritual pressure.

Ma Chuxia’s expression was relatively relaxed, and she smiled at Huang Xiaolong. “Little Long, I just feel my heartbeat is slightly faster than usual, nothing else really.”

“Husband, I don’t have any particular problems either, just that besides my heartbeat quickening, it feels like I’m carrying some weight on my back,” Huo Bingyan let out a breath of turbid air.

Feng Hanyan and Yan Pianpian, on the other hand, had slightly unnatural expressions on their faces. “Little Long, it’s like carrying dozens of pounds. But I don’t really feel uncomfortable.”

“Hmm~~” Huang Xiaolong nodded thoughtfully.

The weight Feng Hanyan and Yan Pianpian referred to wasn’t about the physical burden on their bodies, but rather a purely spiritual and willful kind of burden, a form of oppression.

It seems that when it comes to cultivating talent, the three little demons are the strongest. It makes sense, after all, to be able to transform from a snake, a fox, and a cat into demons and then into human forms, they must be extraordinarily gifted, one in ten thousand.

Ma Chuxia, being the president of the Metaphysics Society and descending from a lineage of Taoists who have subdued demons and exorcised evil, possesses commendable aptitude. Therefore, she could afford to take it easy on the first level of the Xuanhuang Tower.

Huo Bingyan’s talent is slightly inferior to Ma Chuxia’s.

Remaining are Feng Hanyan and Yan Pianpian, the two ancient martial arts Grandmasters, who seemed to be struggling somewhat. This indicated that while they have exceptional talent in the martial arts, they are not quite as outstanding purely in cultivation.

“This Xuanhuang Tower has a total of ten levels; the spiritual pressure is more terrifying on each level than the last,” Huang Xiaolong observed as he spoke.

Those on the first level of the Xuanhuang Tower were red-faced and covered in sweat, walking with great difficulty, as if carrying mountains on their backs. With every step, their bones would crackle loudly, as if they might crumble under the tremendous load.

Suddenly!

Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~ Whoosh~~~

Those who could not withstand the spiritual pressure reached a breaking point, and their bodies transformed into streaks of mysterious light, disappearing from sight. Clearly, they had been teleported out.

In an instant, the number of people on the first level of the Xuanhuang Tower had decreased by about one quarter.

“Hahaha~~~ So many mediocrities, eh? Can’t even withstand the pressure of the first level?” Huang Xiaolong couldn’t help but laugh dryly. “These people’s talents and bone structure are utter rubbish!”

Of course, there were also many who seemed unaffected by the spiritual pressure of the first level, their faces filled with smiles, extremely excited, moving swiftly. They ran toward the staircase at the center of the tower.

Through this staircase, one could reach the second level of the Xuanhuang Tower.

“Little Long, although Pianpian and I are under some pressure, it’s not enough to stop us from getting through this first level, come on, let’s go to the second level too!” Feng Hanyan, full of martial spirit, defiantly spoke, not willing to fall behind others.

As a Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts, she had been taught from a young age that, no matter the circumstance, one should never easily admit defeat! To go against the current!

This test had indeed ignited her competitive spirit!

“Alright, let’s go have a look at the second level,” Huang Xiaolong scanned with his gaze, noting that only he, his wives, and the three little demons were left on the first level.

Just as he took a few steps, Huang Xiaolong stopped and smiled. “If I lend you a hand, you might be able to walk to the tenth level of this tower as easily as if you were taking a stroll.”

“Little Long~~ No!” This time, Ma Chuxia surprisingly didn’t obediently follow Huang Xiaolong’s words; she shook her head, her expression quite resolute, “Little Long, actually, I want to try and see just what level my true cultivation talent is at!”

“Husband, I don’t want your help either, I too want to know if I’m a genius or a mediocrity!” Huo Bingyan nodded firmly.

Feng Hanyan, Yan Pianpian, and the three little demons were also not interested in “cheating.”

“Hahaha~~ Well then, let’s properly test it out. Remember, gauge your strength and don’t be reckless,” Huang Xiaolong said laughingly with interest. “By the way, of the Xuanhuang Tower’s ten levels, that Qingcheng Sect cultivator said, the most freakish genius among the young generation overseas only made it to the eighth level during the test. Actually, I don’t even know… how many levels I can reach… Hahaha~~”

Huang Xiaolong laughed with a hint of playfulness.

Actually, he didn’t take this kind of test seriously at all, but he purposely left himself a bit of suspense. That way, there would be some element of fun, and it wouldn’t be too boring.

“My lord, you must be joking, you’ll definitely be able to reach the tenth level as easily as if you were shopping. Those so-called geniuses from overseas aren’t even fit to carry your shoes,” Xiaohong said with a seductive smile.

“Don’t flatter me,” Huang Xiaolong scratched Xiaohong’s nose. “Come on, let’s go up!”
