Jiang Family Estate.

"Old Master, Miss Qianxue has come out of the Tower of Trials." The guards entered Jiang Duxing"s study room and reported. "Miss Qianxue told us herself that she has pa.s.sed eighteen levels, but she does not intend to continue."

"Oh? She pa.s.sed eighteen levels?!" Jiang Duxing was elated. "It seems my Qianxue did not train two years for nothing. Level eighteen should be quite tough. En. She just needs to work harder. I will be able to request for a Soul Stone from the Elder!" He paced in his study room excitedly. He then said fiercely, "Pay close attention. Give Qianxue everything she asks for!"

"Yes!"

"Oh, right." Jiang Duxing thought for a while and asked again. "Has anyone pa.s.sed level twenty-one in Shenluo City? How is the overall record?"

"Only one person pa.s.sed level twenty," the guard said respectfully. "Four people pa.s.sed level nineteen, and twenty-two pa.s.sed level eighteen."

"En, okay." Jiang Duxing smacked the table fiercely. "These people, contact all those that announced their ident.i.ty. Try to gather them in, focus on training, and continue to observe them. Keep me updated on the latest news!"

"Yes!"

In the Tower of Trials, Hong Dali"s designated room.

Level fifteen.

"This is the Meridian Seven Star Sword that Big Brother Tianzong mentioned?" Hong Dali looked at the treasure chest as he rode on the Dual Stone Soul Bear, the beast guarding level fifteen. "It looks quite pretty, but other than that, it seems pretty common… Big Brother Tianzong"s scale is still too small…"

Dual Stone Soul Bear, City-level beast. Height, three meters. Both arms possess super strength. Its claws could tear gold and break stones, very powerful—of course, that depended on who it was against. To Hong Dali, the person who could ride any beasts in the world, they were just cute rides.

Speaking of which, it seemed the only thing Hong Dali hasn"t ridden on was women…

"So-so." Keeping the Meridian Seven Star Sword in his bag, Hong Dali went up the stairs to the next level. "Yahahaha! Set off! Continue, continue!"

Outside the Tower of Trials.

In the beginning, people were just looking at the big screen above the Tower of Trials. It was not easy to pa.s.s each level. Hence, from level sixteen onwards, it usually took a few minutes before a person could pa.s.s it. And every time someone pa.s.sed it, everyone would cheer.

But this time, it seemed a little different.

"Aye. Quick, look! Another person pa.s.sed level eighteen! His ident.i.ty is hidden. Incredible!"

"Where, where? It"s true. We have another hidden expert in Shenluo City. Awesome!"

"This person is so mysterious. It"s okay to keep his ident.i.ty hidden, but there are only twenty-two people that pa.s.sed level eighteen, and they are all to be groomed. To keep his ident.i.ty hidden after achieving such results? We cannot understand the mindset of powerful people."


"Of course. It seems he is intending to amaze the world with an outstanding achievement. His information should be shown in a while."

"En, en. Makes sense."

Another person had pa.s.sed level eighteen in Shenluo City. This piece of news spread like a virus in the crowd. Everyone carefully stared at the big screen waiting for the latest updates.

After all, someone who was able to pa.s.s level eighteen was already considered strong. It was no exaggeration to call him a genius. Especially since the Tower of Trials had only been opened for two hours, anyone who could pa.s.s eighteen levels within this period of time was a mighty genius. They were different from those who tried extremely hard to pa.s.s each level.

But soon, everyone was dumbfounded!

About five minutes later.

The name on level eighteen disappeared, and another name appeared on level nineteen!

On level nineteen, the screen showed: Current number of people who pa.s.sed level nineteen—Total: 6,824, Shenluo City: 5.

First: Hidden. Second: Macmillan. Third: Hidden. Forth: Obadiah. Fifth: Hidden.

Four people had pa.s.sed level nineteen previously, and now one more was added. It was actually nothing. But the problem was, this fifth person spent less than ten minutes to get from level eighteen to level nineteen!

Just ten minutes to pa.s.s level nineteen?! How could this be?!

In Jiang Qianxue"s area.

"This person pa.s.sed level nineteen so quickly?!" Jiang Qianxue looked at the screen on the Tower of Trials. She said, surprised, "Only ten minutes have pa.s.sed, right? He"s so fast? If he continues at this speed, maybe it"s possible for him to pa.s.s level twenty!"

The guards were shocked as well. Speaking of which, they had entered the Tower of Trials before, but the highest level they could reach was level fifteen—when all attributes were limited to 100, it was not easy for them to pa.s.s the levels. It required true combat instinct.

"Incredible!" Ao Ran narrowed his eyes. As an orange-level Honorary Aristocrat, he felt the pressure. "This person took only ten minutes to pa.s.s level nineteen, there"s a chance for him to pa.s.s level twenty! If his name gets announces then, many Galaxy Aristocrats are sure to notice him. Although he could directly advance to a red-level Honorary Aristocrat when he pa.s.ses level twenty, but one with such talent, when the a.s.sessment came, the other orange-level, or even yellow-level Honorary Aristocrats would have a hard time fighting him. This person is not easy to handle!"

The other Honorary Aristocrats all stared the big screen and started discussing—

"This mysterious man is so powerful?! He pa.s.sed level nineteen in just ten minutes? I wonder if he"ll be able to pa.s.s level twenty."

"I think it"s highly possible. What kind of genius could pa.s.s level nineteen so quickly? In the entire Milky Way, only 1,206 have pa.s.sed level twenty. On average, only one out of the three main cities. In our Shenluo City, other than the super-powerful person previously, I wonder if this person will become the second one."

"If he becomes the second person to pa.s.s level twenty, our Shenluo City will be powerful!"

"Enough said. Let"s see if this person can pa.s.s level twenty!"

Jiang Family Estate.

"Master! Latest news!" The guard dashed into Jiang Duxing"s study room and shouted. "We have another expert in Shenluo City. This person pa.s.sed both level eighteen and nineteen within ten minutes. It is estimated that he is challenging level twenty now!"

"What? He pa.s.sed level eighteen and nineteen within ten minutes?" Jiang Duxing was shocked as well. "Do we have his information?"

"Not yet," the guard muttered and gulped. "It"s hidden."

"Such a genius…" Jiang Duxing hesitated for a while. "I"ll go to the virtual world right away!"

In Jiang Qianxue"s area.

Jiang Duxing headed straight for the area where Jiang Qianxue was at once he entered the virtual world. Jiang Qianxue quickly welcomed and greeted. "Father."

"I heard someone pa.s.sed level eighteen and nineteen of the Tower of Trials within ten minutes?" Jiang Duxing patted on Jiang Qianxue"s shoulder before looking at the big screen above the Tower of Trials. "The one right below level nineteen is the powerful person who just pa.s.sed? I heard he"s challenging level twenty now?"

"Yes, Father." Jiang Qianxue nodded. "He has already been inside for three minutes. I wonder if he"ll be able to pa.s.s it, and how long he"ll take."

"En, I think it"s highly possible!" Jiang Duxing looked at the big screen and kept clapping excitedly. "This time, there are only 1,206 people who pa.s.sed level twenty in the entire Milky Way. If we have two in Shenluo City, hahaha, the Elder might reward our Shenluo City."

"Yes, Father." Jiang Qianxue"s eyes shone brightly. She stared intently at the big screen and fiddled with her fingers excitedly. "It is hard to come across such a powerful person. It"s a pity the more powerful person who pa.s.sed level twenty previously did not publish his ident.i.ty. I even wonder if we will be able to find out who he is."

As she said that, her face went red.

Women liked powerful people. Especially women like Jiang Qianxue, who was born n.o.ble. Their adoration of heroes were especially obvious.

"Hopefully." Jiang Duxing suddenly reminded. "Speaking of which. Qianxue, Galaxy Aristocrats are forbidden from marrying someone who is not a Galaxy Aristocrat. You can admire them, but you cannot like them. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire. Remember that incident from eight hundred years ago… Anyway, you cannot fall in love with someone who is not a Galaxy Aristocrat. You have to bear this in mind."

Galaxy Aristocrats were n.o.ble and incomparable. Naturally, it was absolutely forbidden to marry outside of their kind.

Just like in the olden days of Europa on Earth, the royal family would never marry a commoner. Same logic.

Besides, eight hundred years ago, an incident had shocked the entire Milky Way. That matter had always been the bane of the Galaxy Aristocrats, and no one was allowed to mention it.

Jiang Qianxue was well aware of this matter. Hence, she nodded her head positively and smiled. "Don"t worry, Father. I know the importance of this matter. I may admire him, idolize him, but I will never fall in love with him. I promise."

"En. My Qianxue is the most understanding." Jiang Duxing was very satisfied with Jiang Qianxue"s answer. "Alright, that aside, let"s observe and see if he is able to pa.s.s level twenty. I estimate that he should take less than two hours. You?"

"I think he should be able to pa.s.s within one and a half hours," Jiang Qianxue answered after she thought for a while.
