Legendary Ruler
Spiritual Tower

Each floor of the spiritual tower the pressure would be several times that of the previous floor. The first floor the pressure will be one-fold. The second floor of the pressure will double the first floor, and continue until the next floor. The Spiritual Tower has nine floors. Participants are only required to get to the fourth floor in order to qualify.

Inside the tower there are stairs that rise to the top. The stairs are blue with a fairly bright light. Bai Long now sensed that something was pressing down on his soul. He is now walking along with his friends. Each floor will be filled with fifty steps. Each step of his pressure would increase little by little. Bai Long saw that there were some participants who were already unable to and were teleported out of the tower while in the middle of the first and second floors.

"I never thought I would go up the second floor the pressure was almost twice that of the previous floor" Luo Ji said.

Meanwhile Bai Long was just pretending to be pressured by the pressure from this floor. Bai Long had swallowed the tianxu pill therefore he did not feel pressured by the pressure the other participants, as well as his friend.

They have now reached the second floor. Many of the participants had been forcibly teleported because they were unable to withstand the pressure from this second floor. The surviving participants immediately sat down to increase their soul strength.

"We should meditate first here to increase the strength of the soul, so that the pressure from the third floor will not be too stressful for us". Ruo An advised his comrades to rest for a moment to raise the strength of each soul.

"Alright I agree with what Ruo An said. We'd better rest here for thirty minutes. After that we will continue to go up for the third floor" said Bai Long who replied to Ruo An's proposal.

They now perform the attitude of sitting cross-legged as done by other participants. After thirty minutes passed they proceeded to climb the stairs to get to the third floor. The participants who were riding were walking like carrying a heavy load on their shoulders.

On his way up to the third floor, Bai Long noticed that there were six to eight participants who were unable and forcibly removed from the tower. Bai Long was amazed to see his friend who was still persistent in sticking up every step of the stairs.

They have now reached the third floor. The pressure from the third floor was indeed doubled from the second floor. This already felt like an ordinary person trying to lift twelve sacks of rice simultaneously. Bai Long's group and the other participants did sit cross-legged as they had done on the second floor.

After feeling enough they now begin to go on to ride the fourth floor. Each climb up the stairs the pressure received will also increase little by little like an hourglass that goes down little by little.

"I must be able to!", said the man dressed in yellow.

"Ukh.. The future of the family is at stake here!", said the person wearing the brown robe.

"Ah... I can't afford it" said the person wearing the green shirt. The man crawled because he was unable to withstand the pressure of this tower.

Outside the tower are seen people who are watching the movement of the participant tokens inside the spiritual tower. There are eleven tokens that are still floating showing the movement of the participants.

"In this round four there are five people who almost reached the fourth floor" said the person wearing red. The person saw five tokens with the names of participants in them still hovering above.

"By the way do you know any of those five people?", asked the person wearing the green shirt who was a friend of the person in red

"I only know one person out of the five people there, and that person is Tang Zhan" replied the person in red.

"What is Tang Zhan?", asked the person in green clothes.

"That Tan Zhan is the young master of Chilo city. Her father is the General of Shui' Kingdom, replied the person in red.

Inside the fourth-floor tower, there were now five people who had managed to climb. In those moments there was also one participant who had been teleported out of the tower as he made it to the fourth floor. That person was Tang Zhan.

Bai Long, Luo Ji, Ruo An, and Ruo Ning performed a cross-legged sitting posture as usual. They now spend an hour resting. After that, they tried to go up the stairs.

When trying to step foot on the first rung of the stairs Ruo Ning felt unable to. "Yes, my sister is no longer able. I'll wait for you outside the tower !". Ruo Ning was teleported out of the tower.

"Sister... !". Shouted Ruo An.

The three of them now continued on to the fifth floor. Twenty stairs they had gone through. Ruo An's face was wet with sweat. "Bai Long Luo Ji I don't seem to be able to climb anymore. I will also meet you outside with Ruo Ning" Ruo An said. Bai Long and Luo Ji nodded at Ruo An's words. Now Ruo An had been teleported out of the tower.

The journey between the two of them is now full of burdens. The burden on each shoulder of the two people increased little by little. "Bro Long seems like I can't help it either, I will also wait for you outside the tower!", Luo Ji said. Now Luo Ji was also teleported out of the tower because he was unable to withstand the pressure from the tower.

Currently inside the tower there was only a Bai Long. "Well, I'm the only one in the tower. By the way I don't feel any depressed feeling from this tower. Maybe because I've swallowed three tianxu pills huh ?". Bai Long started to stop acting when inside the tower there was only himself. The atmosphere there was quiet as there was no one but Bai Long.

"By the way do I have to go out now ? Because if I keep going then I won't be able to be together with Ruo An anymore". If Bai Long were to ascend to the fifth floor then he would become an inner disciple, whereas his comrade-in-law would become an outer disciple.

"But wait, how do I get out of this tower !?"
