The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 20's

The swift impact of the waterfall reminded Gu Lang of the physical torment he often received.

While the Tornado of fire and ice that is now rummaging through the sea of his soul, symbolizes the inner torment he received such as insults and ridicule.

"I won't lose again! I will be strong! Become the strongest and stand at the top of the cultivation tower!"

Gu Lang shouted, to burn his spirit and determination to clear this test, and trained himself to exceed his limits and become even stronger.

Gu Lang's soul was sucked into the fight of the two vortexes, and that was the real horror.

His soul was torn to shreds, but then recovered quickly due to the healing effects of the jade waterfall. And it continued, as if it would not stop until Gu Lang's soul was completely destroyed.

The scream of pain from Gu Lang, also sounded so heartbreaking.

Until the body of Gu Lang who was being hit by the swift splashing of the waterfall, emitting a wave of energy that was so fierce.

"Aarrrgh!"

Simultaneously with that loud cry of Gu Lang, a radiance of energy waves seemed to burst out from Gu Lang's body and soar high.

Gu Lang's eyes turned blood red, and emitted an aura that was so oppressive and terrifying.

It was as if a powerful demon had just woken up from its long slumber.

The energy wave continued to radiate out endlessly, until the sound of a huge explosion sounded.

Along with the explosion capable of destroying the wall behind the waterfall, Gu Lang also shot out from there.

"It's crazy! It feels like I've been tormented for thousands of years, it's really terrible!"

Gu Lang recalled, the times when something from inside his body forced it out, to let out such a terrifying surge of energy earlier.

He had indeed broken through the level, and reached level nine. But the burst of energy earlier, was not from his level rise, but from something lodged within his body.

He doesn't know what it is, but what he does know is it must be very dangerous if he really shows up.

Gu Lang looked at the back of his hand and found a zero there, which meant that he had already successfully completed his test. Gu Lang smiled in satisfaction, and sure enough, a moment later the voice came back.

"Congratulations, you've already passed the sixth exam. Your journey to the top is getting closer."

Along with the loss of that voice, the scenery around Gu Lang also changed.

He was again in the middle of the altar, and in front of him was already a set of battle clothes.

"War clothes? Looks like this thing won't be useful. But never mind, I can sell it later." Mumbled.

With firm and determined steps, Gu Lang walked towards the stairs and climbed it.

The remaining three final exams that Gu Lang had to pass, were also the determinants of whether or not he would succeed in conquering this sky tower.

No matter what kind of test awaited him, but no matter how difficult the test he would face, Gu Lang was not afraid and he was sure that he was capable.

Now, Gu Lang was already in the middle of the seventh floor altar. Waiting for what test he will receive this time.

"Welcome to the seventh exam, turn the wheel and see what you get. You have three chances, the reward or punishment you get depends on your luck and your faith."

Hearing that voice, Gu Lang frowned in confusion. But when a spinning wheel appeared before him, Gu Lang understood his point.

There was even a section that said jackpot, no matter what it meant and what Gu Lang would get, if the wheel would stop there.

Not wanting to wait for long, Gu Lang also turned the wheel of fortune.

The wheel began to spin rapidly, causing curiosity and also tucked a hint of anxiety in Gu Lang's heart.

Until the rotation of the wheel slowed down and continued to slow down, the needle was finally stopped in one part bearing the lightning of the sky, making Gu Lang manage his eyebrows confused.

"Skyroaders? Is this a gift, or—"

Uncompleted Gu Lang muttered, a black cloud just suddenly appeared above his head.

The cloud gave rise to a thunderous lightning bolt, and of course it was enough to make Gu Lang know if it was not a good sign of course.

And sure enough, just after that lightning began to strike his body. It made Gu Lang scream in pain, and the lightning did not just strike his body once or twice.

Gu Lang's screams continued to be heard until the ninth strike, and Gu Lang's body was now black from the lightning strike.

His clothes had been torn here and there, his hair was standing upright like a tower in addition to his face which still held the shock of the sudden attack.

"Fucking driver!" gu Lang muttered in annoyance.

After adjusting his breath, Gu Lang turned the wheel again for the second time.

And this time either what kind of punishment he will get, or this time he will get a reward.

"This time I'll get a good reward, not a lightning strike!"

Gu Lang clenched tightly his hand.

The wheel turned back quickly, until it finally stopped at a passage that read, "Holy turtle shell"

"Holy turtle shell? What other joke is this?" inner Gu Lang.

And a moment later, a small turtle shell the size of his fist suddenly appeared before him.

With a detailed explanation of the usefulness of the object, which accompanies it.

"The "shell of a sacred turtle can be a protector in a precarious state. This shell could withstand three attacks from cultivators at the King level, or one attack from an Emperor level."

It made Gu Lang feel very lucky, because it turned out that the shell was very useful.

If he were to encounter a King-level enemy or even an Emperor, he would definitely be able to escape.

"It turns out I got a really good gift, is it possible that this was because of faith? What I get matches my luck and my faith." Gu Lang muttered that he finally understood, why in the first round he got a punishment.

It was because there was a bit of anxiety tucked into his heart, which actually earned him a punishment.

And now that he was beginning to gather his confidence, he had to earn the biggest prize from that spinning wheel in his third spin.

Gu Lang turned the wheel for the third time.

"Jackpot, I gotta get it!"
