Chapter 255 The Upside-Down Sky Tower: If You're a Man, Go Down 99 Floors!
Amidst the widespread discussion...

Ah Liang continued, "Therefore, our event organizers made a bold decision."

"We overcame numerous difficulties and increased the number of admission slots for the inverted Sky Tower from 10 to 15 this year!"

"The nine members of the Great Xia team will automatically qualify for 10 spots in the Upside-Down Sky Tower without having to participate in the subsequent team competition!"

"At the same time, the MVP of the team competition is awarded to Lin Yi from the Da Xia team. If there are any objections, please submit a written application within 8 hours!"

"Meanwhile, the remaining nine national teams will continue to participate in the team competition to determine the final five spots."

After saying this, Ah Liang looked around at the representatives' seats from various countries.

The entire court of officials remained silent.

Since they all didn't want to continue participating because of Lin Yi, it's perfectly reasonable to give the MVP to someone else.

As soon as this policy was released.

Instantly, all the audience members felt that it made sense.

This way, the competition can continue, and the Da Xia team didn't lose out either, as they secured all the spots.

Only all members of the Great Xia team heard this news.

A hint of sadness crept onto his face, which had been beaming with joy at Lin Yi's victory.

I was stabbed when I was at my happiest and most joyful moment.

10 places.

Lin Yi kept his word...

But ultimately, there was one spot that couldn't be given to the person who deserved it...

……

All afternoon.

Lin Yi spent his time catching up with Zhang Shan, Jiang Ya, and others, while also exploring the entire Penglai Island.

This island is indeed a resort paradise.

There is even a beginner hunting ground specifically designated for ordinary people and less skilled professionals.

Jiang Xian and a few other veterans competed in the hunting grounds to see who could kill the most monsters, as if they were trying to recapture their former glory.

This afternoon should have been after Lin Yi finished the college entrance examination.

This is the first afternoon that I've felt relaxed and comfortable.

He doesn't need to think about how to fight the enemy, or how to continue to become stronger. He just needs to empty his mind and enjoy himself.

The reward for Lin Yi's individual championship
Unfortunately, good times are always short-lived.

It's currently the start of the new school term.

The fact that Zhang Shan and Jiang Ya were able to take a day or two off to fly to Penglai Island to watch his match was actually a forced effort on their part, despite the pressure of their university studies.

That evening, Lin Yi saw everyone off at the pier on Penglai Island.

I also received a notification that I would be entering the Trial Tower the next day.

The subsequent matches were no longer relevant to the Great Xia team members, so they could naturally enter the Trial Tower ahead of time to obtain their Martial Souls.

Back in the Xia team's locker room.

Lin Yi saw that everyone was there.

Even Cheng Xiao was included.

However, Ji Yunli, who had briefly appeared before, was not there.

Lin Yi didn't ask any further questions.

"Alright, everyone's here."

"Tomorrow is the day you enter the Trial Tower. Listen carefully, this is very important."

Zhao Enquan clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

He then turned to Cheng Xiao and smiled, "War God Cheng Xiao, thank you for your help."

Although he is a professional team leader and coach.

However, since they had never entered the Trial Tower, they naturally couldn't say anything.

That's why we invited Cheng Xiao over.

Fortunately, Cheng Xiao was easy to talk to and didn't immediately ask for hundreds of millions in fees from her own people. "Please sit down, don't be so nervous."

Cheng Xiao gestured for everyone to calm down.

Lin Yi was the most natural one and sat down first.

Seeing that the captain had sat down, the others also sat down.

"The Sky Tower hanging upside down, something that brings back so many memories..."

"When I went in, I wasn't even as old as you guys, I was only about eight years old..."

Lin Yi immediately noticed the shocked expressions on the faces of the others.

She rolled her eyes.

He entered the tower at the age of eight to obtain his martial soul. How infuriating! He tricked me!
Cheng Xiao had inadvertently shown off, and although his expression didn't change, Lin Yi knew he was pleased.

Let me start with a summary.

"The difficulty of the Upside-Down Sky Tower instance isn't the instance itself..."

At this point, Cheng Xiao pointed at Lin Yi and continued, "At least with him around, you don't need to worry too much about the difficulty."

"The real difficulty lies in..."

"choose."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

They first glanced at Lin Yi, and then someone understood what Cheng Xiao meant.

"Um, does that mean you can team up inside?"

Guan Xingwu asked.

Cheng Xiao nodded: "Yes, but not entirely."

"Team formation is allowed on floors 99 to 50."

"Below the 50th floor, it's up to each person to rely on their own abilities."

"However, it should be noted that when in a team, the number of monsters that spawn on each floor and the number of monsters that need to be cleared will increase as the number of people in the team increases."

"This increase is not linear. If you need to kill 100 monsters to clear the game by yourself, then if you are in a team of five, you will likely be required to kill 1000 monsters."

"Most people who clear the game are lone wolves; very few choose to team up."

Lin Yi, who had been listening silently, spoke up: "So, this Trial Tower is a dungeon where you constantly clear monsters to reach the next level, right?"

How many floors are there in total?

Cheng Xiao: "100 floors."

“You entered the 100th floor at the beginning, but the strategy for this dungeon actually starts from the 99th floor. The 100th floor is a rest floor.”

"You need to go down to the bottom, clearing out the monsters on each floor. Once you complete the clearing objective for the corresponding floor, you can enter the next floor. There will be a boss guarding every 10 floors."

"After clearing the monsters in the regular levels, you will all have the opportunity to choose a random amplification effect, which is similar to your talent."

"The grade can range from the most common D grade to SSS grade. The enhancement effects that appear are completely random and there is currently no pattern to them. Even I can't figure out the pattern of how they refresh."

"Obtaining a powerful boost effect will greatly benefit the clearing of subsequent levels."

"After defeating the boss that appears every 10 floors, you will receive a Soul Core of unknown quality and type."

"You can submit your Soul Core to the tower guardian in the rest area on the 100th floor. He will appraise it for you, and you can transform it into your own exclusive Martial Soul based on the appraisal results."

"Once you have chosen to acquire the Soul Core, your journey through this Trial Tower will be over. All the buffs you previously selected will be cleared, and you will return to the 100th floor."

"However, if you choose to abandon the Soul Core and continue downwards, the buff effect will remain."

"If you successfully defeat the boss on the next 10th floor, you will receive 2 Soul Cores. You will then need to make another choice."

"Should we leave, or continue exploring?"

"The number of Soul Cores dropped will increase sequentially, but the quality is unknown until it is identified."

"Of course, there are exceptions."

“Every 5 floors a special option will appear, allowing you to discard 4 buffs in exchange for a chance to identify all the Soul Cores you obtain next time.”

"But without those powerful buffs, you'll have to consider whether you can defeat the boss guarding the 10th floor."
