I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Looking at the gatekeeper before him, Jiang Wang thought to himself, "Sure enough, there is a gatekeeper on each level. The gatekeeper on the first level has the strength of an early-stage Chaos Golden Immortal. It seems that the ancestor was right. The first three levels are indeed no challenge for me."

Jiang Wang showed no fear, his face still bearing a simple and honest smile. He cupped his hands in greeting to the gatekeeper and said, "My lord, my name is Tu Xiaonai. I have come to challenge the Tower of Babel. Please show mercy."

The gatekeeper scoffed, his tone icy: "Have mercy? In the Tower of Babel, it's either win or die. There's no such thing as having mercy."

Since you dare to come and cause trouble, be prepared to die!

As soon as he finished speaking, the gatekeeper suddenly raised the giant axe in his hand and swung it fiercely at Jiang Wang.

The giant axe, imbued with immense chaotic power, sliced ​​through the air with a whooshing sound, its momentum astonishing, as if it were about to cleave Jiang Wang in two.

Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed. He didn't dodge or use any magic weapons. He simply raised his right hand and slammed it towards the giant axe.

His physical body was at the level of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, and he was not afraid of the attack from this early-stage Chaos Golden Immortal.

"boom!"

The palm collided with the giant axe, producing a loud bang, and the powerful impact spread out, sending rubble flying everywhere.

The gatekeeper felt an immense force emanating from the giant axe, which numbed his arm and nearly caused him to drop the axe. He involuntarily staggered back a few steps, his eyes widening in shock: "How is this possible? Your physical body is actually this strong?"

Jiang Wang smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "You flatter me, sir. I am not very capable, but my physical body is a little strong."

The gatekeeper's face was gloomy as he stared intently at Jiang Wang, his tone icy: "I never expected that a challenger from a small world like you would have such a powerful physique. It seems I underestimated you."

"But do you think you can beat me like that? Wishful thinking!"

As he spoke, the gatekeeper raised his giant axe again, his fierce aura becoming even stronger, and the chaotic power on the axe becoming even more immense, as he cleaved towards Jiang Wang once more.

This time, he used all his strength, clearly intending to defeat Jiang Wang in one blow.

Jiang Wang still didn't dodge. He raised his palm again and gently blocked, resulting in another loud bang.

This time, the gatekeeper was forced back more than ten steps by the shock, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and a tiny crack appeared on his giant axe.

The gatekeeper stared in disbelief, roaring at Jiang Wang, "Who exactly are you? How can your physical body be so strong? A full-force attack from an early-stage Chaos Golden Immortal couldn't even scratch you?"

Jiang Wang shrugged, his tone still honest: "My lord, as I have already said, I am just an ordinary person from a small world, only my physical body is a little stronger."

The gatekeeper's face turned pale and then red. He knew that Jiang Wang was telling the truth. His full-force attack could not hurt the opponent at all. Continuing to fight would only make him more embarrassed and might even cost him his life.

But he is the guardian of the first level of the Tower of Babel, and if he allows challengers to pass through easily, he will not be able to explain it to his superiors.

After hesitating for a moment, the gatekeeper gritted his teeth, his eyes growing even colder: "Even if your physical body is strong, I won't let you pass easily! I refuse to believe I can't outlast you!"

As he spoke, the gatekeeper once again swung his giant axe and cleaved towards Jiang Wang. This time, he did not use his full strength, but instead adopted a strategy of attrition, constantly attacking Jiang Wang in an attempt to wear him down.

Jiang Wang watched the gatekeeper's actions and secretly found it amusing. He said in a relaxed tone, "Sir, if you keep going like this, you'll only waste your own energy. It won't affect me at all."

"Why don't you just admit defeat and let me get through this first level? Then you won't have to suffer like this anymore."

"Admit defeat? Impossible!"

The gatekeeper roared, "I am the gatekeeper of the Tower of Babel, and I would rather die than admit defeat! Even if it takes forever, I will wear you down!"

Jiang Wang shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "It seems you won't admit defeat unless I teach you a lesson."

With that, Jiang Wang stopped playing defensively and launched an attack.

Jiang Wang lightly punched the gatekeeper in the chest.

With a muffled thud, the gatekeeper felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been hit by a mountain. His body flew backward involuntarily, crashing heavily to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his giant axe fell to the side. He no longer had the strength to stand up.

The gatekeeper lay on the ground, his eyes filled with despair and resentment, and weakly said to Jiang Wang, "I...I lost...You...you can pass the first level now..."

Just then, a cold voice rang in Jiang Wang's ears again: "Challenger Tu Xiaonai, defeated the first level guardian of the Tower of Babel, successfully passed the first level, and obtained the reward: Chaos Qi x1000, and a slight increase in physical strength."

Please proceed to the second level to continue your challenge.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang felt a surge of rich chaotic energy enter his body, nourishing his physical body, and his physical strength indeed improved slightly.

He was overjoyed, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect there would be a reward for passing the first level. It seems that the Tower of Babel is indeed a place of opportunity."

Jiang Wang glanced at the gatekeeper lying on the ground, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the entrance to the second floor.

The entrance to the second level is at the end of the training ground; it is a glowing portal that emits a faint chaotic power.

Just as I reached the entrance to the second floor, I heard footsteps behind me, followed by a familiar voice that sounded with a hint of surprise: "Huh? You got through the first floor so quickly? Looks like I underestimated you."

Jiang Wang turned around and saw that the nine-headed Qilin had also arrived at the first level. The leading green Qilin was looking at him with surprise, its contempt lessened and replaced by curiosity.

Jiang Wang smiled and said in a simple and honest tone, "It was just luck. I was only able to pass thanks to the mercy shown by this gatekeeper."

"My lords, hurry up and advance through the levels! I'll head to the second level first."

The Crimson Qilin frowned, its tone still carrying a hint of disdain: "Luck? I think you're just lucky."

However, even if you pass the first level, don't be too proud. The guardian of the second level is much stronger than the one on the first level. Let's see if you can pass.

Jiang Wang did not refute, but simply waved his hand and turned to walk into the entrance to the second floor.

Upon entering the second level, Jiang Wang immediately sensed a more concentrated chaotic energy than on the first level, along with an even stronger sense of oppression. The second level was slightly smaller than the first, the ground was still covered with rubble and bloodstains, and the runes on the walls were denser, emitting a stronger light.

This figure was taller than the guardian of the first level, wearing magnificent armor, with no mask on his face, a ferocious expression, and cold eyes. He held a long sword in his hand, and the aura emanating from him reached the mid-stage of the Chaos Golden Immortal realm, much stronger than the guardian of the first level.

"Challenger, welcome to the second level of the Tower of Babel. If you want to get through here, defeat me first!"

The gatekeeper spoke, his voice cold and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable aura.

Looking at the gatekeeper before him, Jiang Wang thought to himself, "A mid-stage Chaos Golden Immortal is indeed much stronger than the first level, but it is still no challenge for me."

The gatekeeper scoffed, a hint of contempt in his eyes: "Hold back? Here, there is no holding back, only a life-or-death struggle."

Judging from your demeanor, you seem quite confident, so you must have some skill. However, you're still no match for me!

As soon as he finished speaking, the gatekeeper suddenly drew his longsword, which emanated a powerful chaotic force, and thrust it fiercely towards Jiang Wang.

The longsword moved with incredible speed, slicing through the air with a whooshing sound, aimed directly at Jiang Wang's chest at a tricky angle with tremendous force.

Jiang Wang's eyes narrowed, and he slightly shifted his body to the side, easily avoiding the gatekeeper's attack.

At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed at the guard's wrist with astonishing speed.

The gatekeeper's expression changed. He hadn't expected Jiang Wang to be so fast. He hurriedly tried to retract his sword, but it was too late.

Jiang Wang grabbed his wrist and with a gentle pull, the gatekeeper felt a tremendous force, a sharp pain in his wrist, and his longsword almost slipped from his grasp.

The gatekeeper was shocked and roared at Jiang Wang, "What is your background? Has your physical body reached the level of a Chaos Treasure?"

Jiang Wang smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "You flatter me, sir. My physical body is only at the Chaos Spiritual Treasure level, not at the Chaos Supreme Treasure level."

As he spoke, Jiang Wang exerted a little force, and the gatekeeper's wrist was squeezed so hard that it made a "crack" sound. The gatekeeper turned pale with pain, cold sweat poured down his face, and his long sword fell to the ground with a "clang".

"what!"

The gatekeeper let out a scream, trying to break free from Jiang Wang's grasp, but he couldn't. He could only plead with Jiang Wang, "I lost, I admit defeat, please let me go. I'll let you pass the second level, and I'll give you a generous reward, okay?"

Looking at the gatekeeper's pleading face, Jiang Wang felt no pity. He released the gatekeeper's wrist and said in a flat tone, "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? Why did you have to suffer like this?"

The gatekeeper rubbed his wrist, his face pale, his eyes filled with fear and resentment. He weakly said to Jiang Wang, "You...you can pass the second level...The reward...I'll give you the reward..."

Just then, that cold voice rang out again: "Challenger Tu Xiaonai, defeated the guardian of the second level of the Tower of Babel, successfully passed the second level, and obtained the following rewards: Chaos Qi x2000, Chaos Fragment x1, and greatly improved physical strength."

Please proceed to the third level to continue your challenge.

As soon as he finished speaking, a surge of chaotic energy, even more concentrated than that of the first level, entered Jiang Wang's body. At the same time, a fragment radiating immense chaotic power appeared in Jiang Wang's hand.

Jiang Wang picked up the Chaos Fragment, feeling the powerful energy contained within it, and was overjoyed: "Chaos Fragment, this is a good thing. If I collect enough Chaos Fragments, I might be able to refine a Chaos Treasure!"

Jiang Wang carefully put away the Chaos Fragment, glanced at the gatekeeper, said nothing more, and turned to walk towards the entrance of the third level.

The entrance to the third level, like the entrance to the second level, is a glowing portal, radiating a more concentrated chaotic power than the second level.

Just as they reached the entrance to the third level, they heard hurried footsteps behind them. Then, Qing Qilin's voice rang out, filled with shock and disbelief: "You...you've already passed the second level? How is that possible? We just defeated the guardian of the first level, how could you be so fast?"

Jiang Wang turned around and saw the nine-headed Qilin staring at him in shock. The contempt in its eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by surprise and curiosity.

Clearly, they hadn't expected Jiang Wang to be so fast, passing through the second level before them.

"Dear Qilin masters, good luck to you all! I'm heading to the third floor now."

The Crimson Qilin frowned, its tone tinged with suspicion: "Luck? Once is luck, twice is luck too? I don't think you're some nobody from a small world. You must have some secret, deliberately hiding your strength!"

Jiang Wang felt a chill run down his spine, but his face remained honest and simple. He scratched his head and said sincerely, "Lord Qilin, you are joking. I really have no secrets and I have not hidden my strength. It's just that my physical body is a little stronger and I have been a little lucky."

The Azure Qilin glanced at Jiang Wang with a scrutinizing look in its eyes, as if trying to find some flaw in Jiang Wang's face, but Jiang Wang's expression was very natural and there was no flaw at all.

The Azure Qilin frowned, its tone indifferent: "Alright, I'll trust you this once."

However, the guardian of the third level is much stronger than that of the second level, having reached the late stage of the Chaos Golden Immortal realm. You'd better be careful, lest you be caught off guard and lose your way.

Jiang Wang's heart stirred, and he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the Azure Qilin: "Thank you for the reminder, Lord Qilin. I will be careful."

After saying that, Jiang Wang turned around and walked into the entrance to the third floor.

As soon as Jiang Wang entered the third level, he felt an extremely dense chaotic energy that almost overwhelmed him. At the same time, an extremely strong sense of oppression came over him, more than twice as strong as the oppression on the second level.

The third level was even smaller than the second level. The ground was covered with thick bloodstains, and the runes on the walls shimmered with dazzling light, radiating a powerful chaotic energy.

The figure was tall and wore black armor covered in cracks, clearly indicating he had been through countless battles. He wore a black mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, and held a giant sword. His aura was at the late stage of the Chaos Golden Immortal realm, much stronger than the guardian of the second level, and even stronger than the Azure Qilin among the nine-headed Qilin.

"Challenger, if you want to pass the third level, defeat me first!"

The gatekeeper spoke, his voice hoarse and cold, carrying a strong aura of ferocity, like a demon emerging from hell.

Looking at the gatekeeper before him, Jiang Wang thought to himself, "A late-stage Chaos Golden Immortal is indeed strong, but still no match for me."

The gatekeeper scoffed, his tone icy: "Hold back? Here, there is never any mercy, only life and death."

Your physical body is strong, and your speed is fast, far surpassing the previous two challengers, but you are not qualified to defeat me! (End of Chapter)
