Chapter 134: The Fifteenth Floor

Chapter 134: The Fifteenth Floor

The moment Zhanyue entered the thirteenth floor, he realized something was off. It was supposed to be just one floor of the tower, yet before him stretched an endless expanse. Did this tower contain its own space? What was the origin of the Boundless Tower?

In the sky, a portal opened, and a giant eagle with two heads flew out. The eagle was majestic and imposing, its four eyes from two heads staring sharply at Zhanyue.

“An enemy flying in the sky? Normally, only those in the Spirit God Realm can fly. To arrange a flying enemy for a test below the Profound Realm, and this is only the thirteenth floor? Is it this difficult already?” Zhanyue couldn’t help but frown.

The giant eagle didn’t care about Zhanyue’s confusion. Its left head opened its mouth, and a terrifying wind force pulled Zhanyue towards the eagle, making it impossible for him to break free. Then the right head also opened its mouth, spitting out a bolt of lightning.

The wind vortex restricted movement while the lightning struck the enemy – the two heads worked in perfect coordination.

However, the lightning merely grazed Zhanyue, missing completely. Even though pulled by the wind force, the Phantom Step was still activated, confusing the giant eagle’s vision. Enraged, the eagle fired a barrage of lightning bolts.

Zhanyue no longer remained passive. The demon sword flew out, and Zhanyue, gripping it, was pulled out of the wind vortex. He then stood on the sword and flew towards the eagle. This monster would indeed be troublesome for those who couldn’t fly, forced to passively endure attacks on the ground. But for Zhanyue, there were ways to counter.

Seeing Zhanyue take flight, the eagle was clearly surprised. It continued to fire lightning bolts, which Zhanyue deftly dodged. Compared to when he first started sword flying, Zhanyue was now quite proficient. As Zhanyue closed the distance, the eagle immediately flew far away.

However, the speed of sword flight far surpassed the eagle’s flying speed. Zhanyue quickly caught up and leapt onto the eagle’s back.Nnêw n0vel chapters are published at novelhall.com

The eagle panicked and immediately flipped over in the air. Zhanyue grabbed its feathers to avoid falling, but the feathers couldn’t withstand the pull. Zhanyue fell, clutching a large feather, but quickly stabilized himself by standing on his flying sword.

Angered by Zhanyue’s grabbing, the eagle no longer tried to escape. It turned to attack Zhanyue, its feathers like blades, shooting towards him in a storm.

“The fifteenth floor already?” The people waiting outside were dumbfounded. Zhanyue had spent a long time on the thirteenth floor, how did he pass through the fourteenth so quickly?

“Fifteen floors! Isn’t this the princess’s record? Who exactly is this person? Is he a spirit contractor? If he passes the fifteenth floor, he’ll match the princess’s record!” Everyone was shocked and expectant.

Mi Hongchen, however, frowned. “That kid is this capable? What has he encountered in these years?” She recalled the scene when she first met Zhanyue, when he was as weak as an ant.

“The fifteenth floor already, how interesting.” Gong Xiaoyu sipped her tea, thinking that this trip to the academy wasn’t in vain after all. At this moment, she also thought of Zhanyue. He hadn’t entered the Profound Realm either, right? She wondered how many floors he could climb if he entered this Boundless Tower.

The fifteenth floor was a vast, empty plain.

Zhanyue’s eyes widened as he saw his opponent. “Pr-Princess?” Opposite him stood a stunningly beautiful woman in armor, with a terrifying red flying dragon behind her.

But Zhanyue quickly realized this wasn’t a living being, more like a projection. The Mi Hongchen before him appeared younger, and the red flying dragon was much smaller than the one Zhanyue had seen.

“Is this... her appearance when she challenged the tower back then? This fifteenth floor is actually a projection of Mi Hongchen’s past self.” Zhanyue furrowed his brow, knowing the difficulty of this fifteenth floor was likely extraordinary.

The projection showed no emotion. Holding a long spear, it charged towards him, the flying dragon beside it providing support. The human and dragon coordinated perfectly.

“If it were the current princess, I’d be no match at all. But unfortunately for you, you haven’t entered the Profound Realm either. Princess, please forgive my offense.” Zhanyue smiled, though he knew the thing before him was just a projection.

As the flying sword clashed with the long spear, Zhanyue felt a terrifying force transmitted. As the Female War God of the Eastern Kingdom, she had always overwhelmed her peers from childhood. Now Zhanyue was facing this war goddess in her youthful form, at least before her impressive chest had fully developed.
