Chapter 217 - Part Three: Clearing Levels

After taking some glance at the comments section, Sallie sighed. Then she turned towards Ella and asked, "What do you think?" She likes to hear her opinion, she wants to know whether Ella will treat him as an enemy.

Ella is quite started, then she replied, "What do you mean?" She doesn't know what she is inquiring about. She looked at her for answers.

Shaking his head, Sallie said, "Obviously, I'm talking about him. Though he is from a small campus, their backing forces are enemies to us. Don't you think? Once our people from management find out, they won't hesitate to act. "

Hearing that Ella nodes her head helplessly. Anyway, it doesn't concern her. It's just a blooming flower that is going to wither away soon. She then commented, "Let's go back. There will be people exiting from the star tower from now on." After saying that she and Sallie went back to the waiting hall.

…

(From MC's Perspective) 

Inside the 8th floor, 

"Those two ape fellas were something. Fortunately, I didn't give them any chance to team up. "I mumbled under my breath.

After saying that, once again I activated my perceptual ability. "8th floor ah, I don't know what kind of monster it will be?" I said to myself. Then I gripped the sword and held it tight. 

On the other hand, three brown silhouettes appeared out of thin air. 

STEEL WILD BOAR – Initial Level- Class 1 Monster.

Three wild boars with massive builds staring at Zack. The steel name comes from their trunk. This trunk is mutated with steel attributes. Giving them massive attacks and penetrative strength. They can easily tear through the enemies' muscles and cause them deep injury.

At the same time, looking at three class 1 Monsters, My expression becomes gloomy. I lack some experience against group strength. I never thought Star Tower place could be my new learning place. Fighting against these monsters, I can gain huge experience. I can go to some huge Monster Zone without any concern. 

Right now, observing the monsters. I decided to use the same tactics. On the other hand, I also want to gain some experience. At the same time, the three monsters moved. 

Three wild boar monsters after making a sound dashed towards Zack. They followed one after another. Their body height is equal to Zack. If not Zack is a little bit careful, they can easily kill him with ease? 

I became startled sensing their speed, I flew backwards to widen the distance between us. I sidestepped to avoid colliding against the incoming wild boar. Then I made a side slash at the second wild boar monster. It's just an ordinary slash without any lightning power. 

On the other hand, another hand Boar Monster misses its target. Since Zack sidesteps to avoid a frontal collision it turns around to make another attack. 

At the same time, the black blade made an arc. When it made contact with its skin, it left a small sword mark injury. It fails to penetrate deeper inside its skin.

Seeing that injury, I made a quick assessment. It makes sense that it has such tough skin. Looks like the steel attribute not only enhanced its tusk. It also made its body even tougher. It is hard to breP[;'-0ak its skin with simple means.

Realising it, I made another full swing with Special Trainee Strength against the third wild board. On the other hand, feeling the power of my swing, the third will board pupils, shrink in fear. Its whole body trembled with fright. It made a loud streak before turning around to dash away.

Seeing that I made a wild grin, unlike those apes, these monsters didn't even hesitate to turn away. But it was too late, at this time my blade already reached its body. The old boar was paralyzed due to extreme fear. Which made it even easier for my blade. 

The Black Blade sliced its neck, the wild boar's head fell away making its body dissipate into thin air. 

Then I made the same attack against the other two wild boars. It didn't take me a few seconds to kill them. After clearing this level, I arrived at the ninth floor. At the same time, the corresponding ranking also has some changes in the leaderboard ranking.

…

Outside the Star Tower, 

[Name, Place – Floor – Time – Rank]

[Zack Lockwood – 8th – 1 min – 1st]

Seeing the timing, a hint of surprise flashes in official eyes. This time the other warriors were not at all surprised. Only silence remains outside of the Star Tower. Right now, the burly warrior's mouth twitched. He even felt a slight nervousness inside. 

At this time, someone from the first batch exited from the star tower. He couldn't clear the seventh floor. 

Seeing him, the official felt surprised. He felt it's too early for someone to exit now. Then he observed his power level. "He seems to be at the Mid-level of Trainee Apprentice." He said to himself. To clear the sixth floor it is somewhat okay. He is not at least mediocre.

Then the official gestures to the first person from the second batch to enter inside. Now everyone turned their attention from Zack's ranking to their ranking. Everyone now staring at the star tower to see the next person's exit. 

…

At Crimson Hall's Management building,

The Crimson Hall's headmaster is currently viewing the LeaderBoard Ranking. His face has been somewhat gloomy ever since the start of the Star Tower Challenge. He is quite sure about the Crimson Hall students. Six of them were top students, they had their own advantages and disadvantages. They were selected after several trials for this star challenge. 

But now his good mood has been broken away by the leaderboard ranking. He never thought that a kid from Hansen campus could be so capable. "Looks we all underestimated this kid" He mumbled under his breath. 

Right now, he couldn't help but have thought of killing this kid. But he knew about the accident that happened at Hansen Campus a few weeks ago. Everyone seems to think it's just an accident caused by Rogue Warriors. 

But the upper level of management has a clear understanding of the issue. How could a rogue cultivator make a move against Hansen Campus? Especially that Thornton old man stayed in the Hansen campus at night. There are a lot of suspicious things happening there. So, the upper echelon doesn't believe the actual report. 

He let out a huge sigh, keeping that in mind. He doesn't want to think about another plan. Especially, without consulting the upper echelon. With a sombre mood, he stopped looking at the ranking. 

…

At Federation branch office, 

Mr. James while doing his work, From time to time he looks at the leaderboard ranking. At first, He was somewhat worried. There are a lot of forces that might cause trouble for Zack. But after confirming that Zack reached the location, he breathed in relief. 

Then he looked at the ranking. Within three minutes Zack cleared several levels successfully, He couldn't believe his eyes, looking at the timing of the record. Unlike others he knew Zack had a lightning element. So, he is not surprised by his combat power. But to have such low clearance timing is something else. 

Now, he had some unknown bad premonition. Though he is happy, he feels it will attract even more trouble. He couldn't help but to have a helpless sigh. "Zack, already escaped from the clutches of Elite level Assassin, Thanks to Elder Thornton. But he doesn't know that the same will happen again." He begins to get worried. Shaking his head, he suddenly thought about something. It's good that Elder Thornton decided to get him back. So, he can forget about the current trouble.

Unless, those forces had multiple elite forces to dispatch. They can't cause any trouble to Elder Thornton and Zack.

The other hand, 

Inside the Frazier family,

Maria Frazier after finishing her practice in Hansen campus she came to her home today. After arriving at her home, the butler immediately came in front of her and said, "Young Miss, Take a look at the leaderboard ranking." The butler hurriedly said with a surprise. At first he was doing some other work. 

He even forgot about the leaderboard ranking. But suddenly he saw the news. Several news sites in red stone city picked up the event as a hot topic. With curiosity, He looked at the news. Then the name of Zack is mentioned in bold letters.

Then he remembered about the young miss, studying at the same campus. Such an event shocked him at the core. He couldn't believe his own eyes. He thought that kid was somewhat okay, but he never compared with his own young miss. He even objected to the young miss to have friendship with his kid. 

Looking at the ranking it subverts his cognizant. He seems more talented than young miss. Not even five minutes completed, but that kid named Zack cleared several floors to reach the ninth floor.. After calming down his stormy heart, He waited for his young miss to arrive.
