Chapter 63: Exiting the Demon Suppression Tower, An Enviable and Rich Reward
“What is it?”
Qin Bei asked.
“Ten Golden Core Realm Peak Demon Cultivators. Each of these ten possesses a Heaven Grade Martial Arts technique that they can use anytime during battle.”
“No matter who strikes, their blow can seriously injure you—or even kill you in one hit.”
“Decide: will you continue the challenge, or head back to practice your powerful skills before trying again?”
Qin Bei fell silent, deep in thought.
If it were a single Golden Core Realm Peak Demon Cultivator with a Heaven Grade Martial Arts technique, he could potentially fight and have at least an 80% chance of victory.
But ten?
Even if his spiritual energy and physical strength were fully restored, facing ten Golden Core Peak cultivators would leave him with only a 10% chance at best of seriously injuring them.
If others knew this thought, they would surely think Qin Bei had lost his mind.
A sixth-level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator claiming a 10% chance of wounding and defeating ten Golden Core Peak cultivators?
Who would believe that?
“I’ll give it a try.”
In the end, Qin Bei decided to test it out.
“Alright.”
…
Once the ten Golden Core Peak Demon Cultivators appeared, Qin Bei immediately felt the pressure.
The battle was about to begin.
Fully restored and at his peak, Qin Bei utilized his Double Pupils to observe the ten opponents.
At critical moments, he would activate his Extreme Cold Gaze, though not at full strength.
Why? Because using all his strength would drain his spiritual energy and could only take down one demon cultivator at most—hardly worth the cost.
So he aimed to slow down the opponents while relying on his formidable physical strength and endless stamina to engage in a drawn-out battle with the ten demon cultivators.
Injuries were inevitable, but as long as they weren’t serious or fatal, Qin Bei didn’t consider them real injuries.
On the other hand, that was a different story for the ten demon cultivators.
Though they matched him in the Golden Core Peak realm, they couldn’t ignore the full force of Qin Bei’s attacks. They still had to defend when his strikes came.
Back and forth they went in combat.
Qin Bei grew bolder and bolder, but the ten Golden Core demon cultivators began to lose their peak state.
After sustaining injuries, their recovery abilities couldn’t compete with Qin Bei’s.
They seemed to recognize this problem.
The ten demon cultivators stopped engaging Qin Bei in a war of attrition.
“Demon Shadow Blade!”
One demon cultivator roared.
In the next moment, countless clones emerged from the big knife in his hand, blocking Qin Bei’s escape routes so he could only face this attack head-on.
Whoosh!
Double Pupils!
Qin Bei activated his Double Pupils just then.
He discerned that among all these attacks, only one was real, while the rest were mere illusions.
So he dodged with ease. Not only that, he seized the momentum of the charging demon cultivator and struck back hard.
This blow, powered by millions of pounds, struck straight at the opponent’s heart.
The defenseless demon cultivator collapsed on the spot.
Hiss~
“Monster!”
The weapon spirit observing from above couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
The current weapon spirit was completely different from all previous versions.
Its body was no longer an illusion but solid and tangible. If you didn’t mention it, no one would guess it was a weapon spirit.
This was its true form; the previous one was just a wisp of consciousness.
The real body came to watch the battle firstly out of curiosity about Qin Bei.
Secondly, it aimed to better protect him.
It’s quite dangerous for a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to face off against Golden Core Peak opponents.
One misstep could mean death.
The royal family had finally produced such a prodigy; there was no way it would allow Qin Bei to encounter an accident.
“This kid’s combat style is truly unique. How come he seems to get more energized the more he fights?”
“But this is where it ends.”
As soon as the weapon spirit finished speaking, the remaining nine demon cultivators facing Qin Bei unleashed their strongest attacks almost in unison.
They gave Qin Bei no opportunity to evade.
In a head-on confrontation, he could only use his most powerful Extreme Cold Gaze.
But he could at most withstand the attacks of two opponents. If any of the remaining seven’s attacks landed on him, he’d be seriously injured or even face lethal danger.
“I concede!”
Qin Bei yelled out just in time.
Swish!
The prepared weapon spirit instantly appeared before Qin Bei.
Facing nine attacks, it merely waved its hand to dispel them.
The figures of the nine demon cultivators vanished in an instant.
“Come back when you’re more confident to challenge.”
With a wave of its hand, the weapon spirit made Qin Bei disappear from the Demon Suppression Tower.
In the next moment, Qin Bei stood outside the Demon Suppression Tower. His sudden appearance captured the attention of the people around him.
“Look, it’s Prince Bei. He actually came out safe and sound!”
“You call this safe and sound? Look at those ragged clothes; they’re barely covering anything!”
“I remember he went in wearing white? Now why is he dressed in red?”
“Guess he recovered after getting injured. His recovery ability is impressive.”
“Let’s go up and buy some skills from him! First come, first served!”
“Don’t go! Didn’t you see Princess Ling’er hasn’t approached him? After the first challenge, the Demon Suppression Tower announces it, especially for someone like Qin Bei who broke multiple records. There’ll be rewards!”
…
Sure enough, after changing his clothes, a bell chimed.
Ding~
The voice of the weapon spirit rang out as well.
“Prince Qin Bei, you’ve broken the speed record for the first level of the tower. You’re rewarded with a low-level divine skill or magical power.”
“You’ve broken the speed record for the second level of the tower. You’re rewarded with a mid-level divine skill or magical power.”
“You’ve broken the speed record for the third level of the tower. You’re rewarded with a high-level divine skill or magical power.”
“You’ve broken the speed record for the fifth level of the tower. You’re rewarded with a top-level divine skill or magical power.”
Listening to the cascading rewards proclaimed by the weapon spirit, even the princes and princesses present felt a pang of envy.
Divine skills!
Even a talent like Qin Chen, whom the royal family holds great hopes for, only possesses one of this level of magical powers.
And he learned it from the martial arts library while breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
But what about Qin Bei? He secured all these divine magical powers while still at the Foundation Establishment Realm!
And no one could forget that Qin Bei also has a fairy-level magical power he comprehended by himself, the Extreme Cold Gaze!
While everyone knows Qin Bei can’t learn all of them, the rewards from the Demon Suppression Tower signify his wealth.
As everyone was still envious, the voice of the weapon spirit continued.
“Prince Qin Bei, you have successfully passed the fifth level of the tower on your first attempt, shattering the record, and you receive a celestial grade teleportation talisman!”
Hiss~
At that moment, not only did the princes gasp in surprise.
Even Old Jiu, who had been lying down, sat straight up to listen closely.
A celestial-grade teleportation talisman? Issued by the weapon spirit?!
This spirit was clearly giving preferential treatment, and the reward was over the top.
“What is that thing for?”
“It’s the teleportation talisman given by the Artifact Spirit, hey! No matter how far away, as long as you use it, you can instantly teleport back to the Demon Suppression Tower. This is a life-saving item that many in the royal family desire—better than the ones my father gives. It’s a shame the Artifact Spirit rarely hands them out. A celestial-grade teleportation talisman? I’ve lived a hundred years and just found out the Artifact Spirit has this kind of level.”
Gasp “Does that mean Qin Bei won’t have to fear for his life even if he leaves the capital in the future?”
“As long as he has this teleportation talisman, without the intervention of someone from the quasi-saint realm, no one can hold him back.”
“I suddenly feel the Artifact Spirit is really biased…”
“If you could break all these records, you could get it too, but can you break them?”
…
Just when everyone thought it was all over, the voice of the Artifact Spirit rang out again.
This time, everyone wasn’t just shocked.
They felt envy mixed with jealousy, wishing they could take Qin Bei’s place!
