Online Cultivation
episode 138

After talking to Feng Yixiao and Xiao Hua for a few more minutes, they returned to their own ‘home’ while Yuan prepared to leave the house once again to explore the sect.

However, before Yuan could even take a dozen steps out of his house, a familiar voice echoed, "Where are you going?"

Yuan turned to look at Min Li standing by the door with slightly dark eyes, almost like he had not slept enough last night or anything like that.

"I'll go to ‘Dragon Gate Tower that Skips the Mas’ Fish," replied Yuan with a very long name.

"Will Mas Jump over the Dragon Gate Tower ?!" Min Li looked at him with widened eyes.

Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower was a unique place in the sect where the disciples went to test their skills and challenge their limits by fighting against powerful ferocious beasts, and the sooner one defeated a savage beast, the higher the score they would obtain. That place was so popular and important to sects and disciples that there was even a ranking just for it, allowing disciples to compete against each other to obtain the top rank.

However, due to his difficulty, only those who had been in the sect for over a year dared to challenge him unless they were talented geniuses from powerful families like Min Li.

But even someone like Min Li would not challenge the Dragon Gate Tower that Jumped over the Goldfish so quickly and without any preparation.

‘This guy... It's only his second day as a student and he's already challenged the place?! How much is he trying to show off his talent?!’ Min Li cried inwardly.

When he saw Yuan walking away a moment later, he quickly said, “T-Wait a moment! I'm also coming!”

Yuan raised his eyebrows. Why is he following her again? But since he had no problem with it or reason to expel it, he did not say anything in the end.

A short while later, they arrived in front of an extremely tall building that was almost piercing through the clouds; it was so high that Yuan could see it from his building, that was why he managed to get to this place without any problems. Furthermore, there were two more towers in the distance, probably within the Inner Plateau and the Sect Center.

There were at least 100 floors in this huge tower, and there was also an enormous golden plank located next to the entrance with many disciples around it.

"Look! Ming Yong defeated the guards on the 51st floor and entered the 52nd floor! He has made it into the top 200! ”

The disciples there shouted in excitement when the name ‘Ming Yong’ appeared at the bottom of the list on the gold board that had a total of 200 names on it.

Yuan looked up and sure enough, there was a golden light emitting from the window on the 51st floor.

“If you want to become an Inner Court disciple, you must beat at least 30 floors. 75 floors if you want to become a Core disciple, ” Min Li told him from behind.

"How does it work?" Yuan asked him without looking back.

After a moment of silence, she asked him, “If you don't mind me asking, why are you challenging Carp Jump Over Dragon’s Gate Tower now? You still have plenty of time until the next Inner Court disciple exam. Don't you want to increase your strength as much as possible before you challenge him?”

“I can challenge this place as much as I want, right? Then why does it matter if I challenge it now or later? I also read from the guidebook that there will be a special reward for you if you manage to beat all 100 floors, ” Yuan said.

“100 floors?” Min Li looked at him from behind with a dumbfounded expression on her face.

“There have been less than 10 disciples since the establishment of the sect that managed to complete all 100 floors, and it has been more than 1,000 years since the last disciple achieved such a feat. Do you really think you can complete 100 floors? ” Min Li asked him.

And he continued, “In addition, the magical beasts in the tower are all illusions that adjust to your cultivation level so that you can only rely on your own skills and talents to defeat them. Raw power will not work. ”

"Oh? So I can practice here regardless of my cultivation level? It was good to hear, ”said Yuan who wanted to hone his dagger and sword skills again but had trouble finding an opponent at his level.

“Can I go inside even though there is already someone inside? Or should I wait?” Yuan then asked.

“Only one person can challenge the tower at one time. You can register there.” Min Li pointed to the small pavilion that was a dozen meters away from them.

“Alright, then I'll”

"Wait a minute!" Min Li suddenly stopped him.

“What's this time?” Yuan looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"I'll go first this time!" Min Li said with a stern expression on her face.

“Eh sure?” Yuan nodded. As Min Li seemed desperate to challenge the tower, Yuan did not refute him and let him go first.

Min Li then approached the pavilion.

"Look over there! It's Min Li! Looks like he will challenge the tower too!”

“How dare! This was only his second day in the sect and he had already challenged the Dragon Gate Tower that Skipped the Goldfish! As expected of a genius from one of the Seven Heritage Families!”

When the disciples there noticed his presence, they were immediately stunned, and they could not wait to see his appearance.
