Chapter 2440: The Archosaur Tower
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“Alright! Let me tell you about the situation in Archosaur Tower!”
Long Teng nodded and said, “The tower is near Tun Xu Dragon Mansion. There are a total of 10 levels, and this is a test set up by the Chaotic Archosaur for his descendants. There is a Dragon Spirit formed by an array in the tower that is so mighty that even the Dragon Emperor is no match for it.”
“Are you exaggerating?” Si Kongyan asked as he dropped his jaw in amazement. It would be too much of an exaggeration if the Dragon Spirit was more powerful than Tun Xu Dragon Emperor!
“No, I’m not!”
Long Teng shook his head and said with a grave look, “I’ve heard that the power of the Dragon Spirit comes from the Archosaur’s Blood Essence. When one enters the tower, he has to take on a Dragon Spirit that is of the same rank as him. The strength of the Dragon Spirit at level one is only 10 percent. At level two, it moves on to 20 percent of the strength. At level three, it has 30 percent, and so forth. When one reaches level 10, they will have to take on the Dragon Spirit that possesses 100 percent of the strength!”
When Su Mo and Si Kongyan heard what Long Teng had said, they nodded. Apparently, they had to defeat the Dragon Spirit at level 10 in order for them to obtain the Archosaur’s Blood Essence.
“Have you ever entered the tower?” Su Mo asked.
“Yes!”
Long Teng nodded and said, “I entered it when I first came to Dragon Tribe. I was defeated at level seven but recently, I got in again and was defeated at level eight!”
“Level eight?” Su Mo became grave when he heard Long Teng’s reply. Long Teng’s talent had surpa.s.sed that of the Favored Ones, and he was as powerful as the Great Supreme Beings had been back then. However, he had only managed to move on to level eight!
“Recently, I got to enjoy a higher status in Dragon Tribe and become famous after I entered level eight. So far, no one has managed to get to level nine, and less than five people have entered level eight.” Long Teng continued.
“Who are the people who have entered level eight?” Si Kongyan asked out of curiosity. He wanted to know who the people that possessed similar talent to Long Teng were.
“They are Tun Xu Dragon Emperor, a Great Supreme Being by the name of Long Peilin, the two Favored Ones in Dragon Tribe, Long Yu, and Long Shuangshuang. I am the last of all!” Long Teng replied.
“Is Long Shuangshuang that powerful?” Su Mo was surprised when he heard Long Shuangshuang’s name mentioned. Long Shuangshuang had been keeping a low profile but she had turned out to be powerful.
“She is indeed amazing. However, she has made more than 10 attempts to get to level eight. The minute she got to level eight, she was eliminated. As for me, I managed to survive at level eight for more than 10 breaths!” Long Teng explained.
Long Teng continued, saying, “Su Mo, with your combat strength, I believe that there is a 50 percent chance for you to obtain the Archosaur’s Blood Essence.”
“Indeed, it is possible.”
Su Mo nodded in agreement. He was confident in his own combat strength, but he had some reservations.
“Long Teng, will the outside world be able to see it if I use all my trump cards in the Tower?” Su Mo voiced one of his concerns.
“No. The people will only know the level that you are at but they will not be able to see the situation in the Tower. Even the Dragon Emperor would be unable to do so!” Long Teng a.s.sured Su Mo.
“Great! I have another question.”
Su Mo nodded. After pondering for a while, he asked, “If I were to get hold of the Archosaur’s Blood Essence and merge it for you, would that put you in danger? Tun Xu Dragon Emperor will definitely feel threatened by you!”
“I have considered this question as well!”
Long Teng’s face was grave, and he said, “Indeed, the Dragon Emperor has the desire to get hold of the Archosaur’s Blood Essence. However, once the Blood Essence merges into my body, it will disappear utterly. Even if the Dragon Emperor were to kill me, he would not be able to get the Blood Essence. Moreover, the Chaotic Archosaur is the ancestor of the Dragon Tribe and he is holy and highly esteemed. If the Blood Essence is merged into my body, the Dragon Tribe will hold me in high esteem and the Dragon Emperor will not dare to have any objections.”
Long Teng had given serious thought to it. Although it was risky for him, the risk was minimal. The advantages outweighed the risks.
The only concern was for Long Teng to merge with the Archosaur’s Blood Essence the minute that Su Mo obtained it. If this was not done, the Blood Essence would likely be s.n.a.t.c.hed away from them.
“In this case, I’ll have to give it a try!” Su Mo said after he had taken a deep breath.
“I will get into your s.p.a.cial Device. The minute you have obtained the Blood Essence, I will be able to merge with it!” Long Teng said. That was the safest method.
However, while Su Mo was going through the levels, Long Teng had to remain in the s.p.a.cial Device lest there be two Dragon Spirits.
“Alright. Let’s get going!” Su Mo said hastily. If Long Teng could obtain a high position in the Dragon Tribe after he had merged with the Archosaur’s Blood Essence, Su Mo would have no worries in the future.
With the Dragon Tribe to support him, Su Mo need not be afraid of the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, the Heavenly Palace, or Earth Palace.
“One more thing. Don’t go beyond your limit lest you get killed!” Long Teng reminded Su Mo.
“I know!”
Su Mo nodded and said, “Si Kongyan will go with me. Long Teng, get into my s.p.a.cial Device!”
Su Mo wanted to keep it a secret that he was bringing Long Teng into the Archosaur Tower.
“Alright!” Long Teng nodded.
Su Mo triggered his thoughts and put Long Teng into his s.p.a.cial Ring.
“Si Kongyan, let’s go!” Su Mo called out to Si Kongyan and walked out.
“Hoho, I’m getting excited about it!” Si Kongyan smiled and caught up with Su Mo. He was eager to enter the Archosaur Tower.
He did not have confidence in obtaining the Archosaur’s Blood Essence and he merely wished to find out his capability.
Su Mo and Si Kongyan walked out of the mansion and headed toward the center of Dragon City.
There were several towers in Dragon City, but Su Mo and Si Kongyan had no problem identifying the Archosaur Tower.
The Archosaur Tower was different from the rest of the towers. It was the only tower with 10 levels and it was made of bronze. The sculpture of a Divine Dragon was carved on every level.
Each level had a different Divine Dragon. The Yellow Dragon was carved on level one, and the Single Claw Silver Dragon was carved on level two. The Silver Horn Golden Dragon was carved on level three, and level four was the Dark Demon Dragon. Level five was the Eight-winged Drake, and level six was the Illusory Brontosaurus. Level seven was the Purple Sky Blood Dragon, and level eight was the Five Claws Golden Dragon. The Divine Dragons on level nine and 10 were unique and no one had seen them before.
The Archosaur Tower was situated on a large piece of land in the Square. When Su Mo and Si Kongyan came to the Archosaur Tower, they saw nothing around it.
The Archosaur Tower was bustling as the people from Dragon Tribe were constantly moving in and out of it. There were also many people gathering outside the gate of the Tower.
Those people who were entering the Tower seemed to be full of vigor. However, those who came out were in a sorry state. All of them were thrown out with a pale look on their faces.
Su Mo and Si Kongyan were well-known in Dragon Tribe and thus the minute they appeared at the Square, they attracted the people’s attention.
“Tu Xiao and Yan Kong are here!”
“The Slavery Seal on their forehead has disappeared!”
“I’ve heard that the Dragon Emperor has allowed them to join the Outer Tribe!”
“I believe that they are here to test their talent and strength!”
Many of them looked at Su Mo and Si Kongyan and started to whisper among themselves. The slaves and the outsiders were not allowed to enter the Archosaur Tower but not for the Outer Tribe.
Only those who had pa.s.sed the test at level 10 could obtain the Archosaur’s Blood Essence. However, no one had entered level nine, let alone level 10.
The Archosaur Tower had become a place for the people in the Dragon Tribe to train themselves up or to prove their talent and strength.
No one suspected that Su Mo and Si Kongyan were there for the Archosaur’s Blood Essence.
After all, no one from the Dragon Tribe was there for the Archosaur’s Blood Essence as it was impossible for them to obtain it.
“Yan Kong, Tu Xiao, congratulations! You have become one of us in the Outer Tribe!”
“Congratulations!”
“The two of you are indeed powerful!”
Many people from the Dragon Tribe cupped their fists and spoke to Su Mo and Si Kongyan amicably when they saw them walking toward the Archosaur Tower.
Although Su Mo and Si Kongyan were from the Outer Tribe and they did not hold a high position, the people were convinced of their talent and strength.
