BXBX NOVEL Chapter 230 Ascending The Floors
In the second floor, he found some weird looking monkeys as challengers. Unlike the normal monkeys, these monkeys had huge fangs.
Their size was also massive which made them more menacing than some ordinary magical beasts. They attacked Zhan Chen as soon as they laid their eyes on him.
Zhan Chen made a horizontal slash with his hand and thick cuts appeared on the waist of the three monkeys who had just appeared.
A surprised expression appeared on Zhan Chen\'s face after he saw that his attack couldn\'t kill the monkeys.
\'These monkeys are rather tough. Their power is like some ordinary second tier magical beasts but their physical body can be compared to third tier magical beasts.
No wonder even the True essence realm cultivators find it difficult to advance from second floor onwards", Zhan Chen murmured to himself.
He dodged the attacks of wounded monkeys and delivered another attack towards them. This time they stopped on their path and their bodies started to disintegrate.
Energy particles came out from their bodies and assimilated in the body of Zhan Chen. "Increase in quality of the energy but still not enough. The second floor is best suited for the True essence realm cultivators to cultivate. I should move forward", he decided inside his mind.
He walked forward nonchalantly while negating the attacks of the violent monkeys easily. If Li Yan was here, she would curse heaven for the unfair treatment she was receiving.
She was still struggling in the first floor where scores of wild boars were harassing her. Their power was weak but Li Yan still had to watch out for the physical harm they could cause. Her condition was somehow better compared to other girls.
Li Shu and Kai Min were really struggling against the repeated attacks of the magical boars. Zhan Qingyue was advancing valiantly but she also had to slow down after herds of magical boars started to appear.
"Has little Chen crossed the first floor?", she thought to herself while fighting with the magical boars. She thought about the other girls and a fighting spirit rose in herself.
She attacked more intensely and made a way for herself amidst the charging boars.
Li Yan was as determined as Zhan Qingyue. So, she could match her pace with the assistance from her own superior cultivation.
Kai Min was different from Li Yan and Zhan Qingyue as she was a gentle type girl. So, she found it really hard to progress amidst the unrelenting attacks of boars.
Her condition was still managable but it was really worst for Li Shu. She was facing a tremendous challange from the boars as her attack technique was not refined like other girls present.
She could only swung her massive hammer and tried to fend herself from the unrelenting attacks of the magical boars. She would have given up straight away if it was before she had met with Zhan Chen. But now, something had changed in her heart.
She had never felt the urge to increase her power but it was different after she saw the growing numbers of women around Zhan Chen. She knew that Zhan Chen would never mistreat her no matter how far he went but it was her desire to follow Zhan Chen.
She needed to upgrade both her cultivation and weapon smithing skills to stand behind Zhan Chen. Li Shu was aware of that fact. So, she made up her mind and did her best to progress in the Sky tower.
Zhan Chen would be pleased if he would have seen the determined look on the girls faces but it was a pity that he could not witness it with his own eyes. For now, he was busy with killing the violent monkeys who continued to pursue him, no matter where ever he went.
"Finally, I am done", Zhan Chen thought to himself after seeing the stone platform in a distance. He did a backhand motion and stopped the nearby violent monkey from doing him any harm.
"There is too much of them to kill. I would rather go to the third floor than killing these annoying monkeys", he murmured to himself and used the Cloud chasing steps.
The stone platform lit up after he climbed on top of it. He took a last look at the gathered monkeys before his figure disappeared from the second floor.
It was the same brightly lit sky and a sky high sun in the third floor. But what made the third floor different was the structure of the ground.
Instead of luxuriant grass, there was golden sand everywhere. Hot wind was blowing and it was really difficult to walk with all the sand particles in the atmosphere.
\'This place is really mysterious. First it was
grass and now it is sand. What kind of attainment one need in formation technique to make such places?\', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
\'At least, I am sure of one thing. Such deeds can\'t be accomplished by a mortal even if the person is at the peak of sage realm\', Zhan Chen thought further.
A yearning look appeared on his face as he thought about the origin of the Sky tower. He was contemplating while walking when a sudden change alerted his mind.
He hurriedly sent a palm slash towards the ground and moved back. The tip of a huge stinger stopped in the midway after receiving the palm slash from him.
Sand particles fell off as a huge creature made its appearance. Zhan Chen first saw a pitch black stinger. The creature gradually surfaced and Zhan Chen finally knew who he needed to face in the third floor of the Sky tower.
It was a monster scorpion with an oversized stinger. It made another attempt on him as soon as it came out from the sand.
Zhan Chen dodged the attack again and sent a finger slash towards the monster scorpion. A sharp essence energy slash fell upon the body of the scorpion but it could only make a dull sound before vanishing in the air.
"Such a tough shell", Zhan Chen murmured to himself while dodging another attack from the monster scorpion. He was casually attacking but his slashes could easily kill peak True essence realm experts. Zhan Chen was surprised to see that his finger slashes had no impact on the monster scorpion.
"I can\'t stay relaxed anymore. It is time to get serious", Zhan Chen thought to himself. He waved his hand once again and a thick slash fell upon the body of the scorpion.
This slash didn\'t manage to kill it but it broke upon the outer layer of the scorpion. Meanwhile, another scorpion came out from the ground and Zhan Chen had to dodge once again to save himself from the oversized stinger.
He was already aware of the Sky tower pattern. He had to kill the monster scorpions quickly. Otherwise, there number would go up like the wild monkeys of the second floor.
