Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 186, Section 205: The Spiral Tower

After venting his anger, Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer flattened the entire back mountain of Holy Soul Village.

"Just wait, Spirit Hall—" Tang Hao roared, his eyes bloodshot and his breath ragged, "Spirit Hall, fortunes change every thirty years, don't underestimate the middle-aged! You just wait, as long as... as long as Xiao San becomes a god, it will be the end of your Spirit Hall."

After saying that, Tang Hao left the scene.

A cold wind howled past like blades as a small team, like ants, traversed the vast white snow in the far north, a land forever covered in ice and snow.

The leader was a woman with long, ice-blue hair. She moved lightly through the snow as if it were empty, while the seven people behind her struggled to keep up with her, using their soul power to resist the cold of the far north.

Surprisingly, they did not encounter any soul beasts along the way.

It's not that there are very few soul beasts in the entire far north, but rather that the soul beasts subconsciously avoid them.

Because the leader of this team is none other than the Snow Empress, the overlord of the far north.

Although she has now become a god as Huo Yuhao's soul spirit, the soul beasts of the far north still recognize her.

"Teacher, when will we arrive at our destination?" Luo Xingqi asked.

"We're almost there," Xue Di said.

They arrived at the edge of a towering ice cliff. Gazing into the distance, under the cover of night and amidst the hazy snow, stood two colossal, spiraling towers that seemed to reach the heavens, appearing and disappearing in the wind and snow.

The seven members of the Starfire team stared at the Eternal Spiral Tower in utter shock, some even gaping in astonishment.

"This is the Trial Tower of the Far North, called the Eternal Spiral Tower." The Snow Empress circulated her icy blue soul power with both hands.

"The Eternal Spiral Tower, what is this place?" Luo Xingqi asked.

"It is a divine relic left by the Eternal God in the far north, and it is also the place where you will undergo your next trial."

The icy elements of the far north condensed in her palm, and she manipulated the ice to form a huge and towering bridge in front of the ice cliff.

Ice melts into a bridge.

A magnificent bridge was thus completed before the seven of them.

"Come with me." Xue Di stepped onto the ice bridge she had built first.

Shocked, the Spark Team followed Snow Empress across the ice bridge. Crossing the ice bridge, they traversed the bottomless ice abyss of the far north and arrived at the other side of the ice cliff.

The magnificent, towering tower stood before them.

"How do we get in, teacher?" Mu Yuanfang asked.

The Snow Empress arrived in front of a giant altar and said, "There is a teleportation array on it that leads to the Eternal Spiral Tower. You just need to stand on it to be teleported to the bottom of the tower, and then you can begin to undergo the trials of the Eternal Spiral Tower."

The seven people arrived at the giant altar as instructed by the Snow Emperor. There was a recessed line on the platform beneath their feet, which formed a huge array. When they reached the center of the array, the array was activated, enveloping them in a bright light.

The next moment, they disappeared from the giant altar.

They entered the interior of the Eternal Spiral.

When they looked up, they could see the night sky and stars; when they looked around, they saw a vast, boundless forest and a huge arena.

They all received the same message:
"Welcome to the Eternal Spiral Tower, initial training."

Is this inside the tower? Lin Chen gazed at the endless starry sky and the vast, boundless continent. While the Eternal Spiral Tower was indeed awe-inspiring, it wasn't this expansive; it practically encompassed the entire visible world. "The rules of the trial are as follows:"

"Within the tower, your deaths are not true deaths, but each challenge that begins in the Eternal Spiral Tower will strip you of this knowledge!"

"You can go outside the arena to train or hunt soul beasts. The soul beasts on this level are all under 30,000 years old. When you hunt or obtain a soul ring there, you can choose whether or not it will be reflected in reality."

"Both victory and defeat will earn you points. With these arena points, you can hire arena soul masters to hunt souls for you."

"With each countdown, no matter where you are here, you will be teleported to the Trial Tower and forced to fight against the simulated team of this level."

"After each battle ends, if a teammate dies, the Spiral Tower will reset once. When the Spiral Tower reset count reaches 100, the challenge will be considered a failure, and the player will lose the qualification for the Eternal Trial!"

"When you successfully defeat your opponents, you will complete the initial training and obtain the proof of eternity."

"Those who possess the Eternal Token can enter the Eternal Spiral Tower at any time and place to undergo trials."

The sound disappeared, and the seven began to discuss the rules of this world.

"Look at that," Mu Yuanfang pointed to the sky.

The stars in the sky form a magnificent timer, and their shifting positions tell them the passage of time within the time tower.

Time seems to be running out; only thirty seconds left.

Ye Qingmei frowned and said, "It seems we don't have much time to prepare."

Lin Chen looked at one of the rules, that dying inside the tower was not true death, and said, "In any case, let's go see our opponents first."

The countdown ended, and they were teleported into the arena.

At this moment, the arena was filled with spectators, who were cheering and chanting, "Shrek, Shrek, Shrek!"

On the other side, the audience was chanting, "Spark, Spark, Spark!"

The host is a beautiful woman with a pair of snow-white, beautiful wings growing from her back. Her martial spirit is a white dove, and she is incredibly beautiful.

"Now, please welcome the main characters of this year's Soul Fighting Tournament, the Shrek Team!"

On the other side of the arena, a middle-aged man in an academic gown with a buzz cut walked out calmly. He put his hands behind his back, and his eyes opened and closed with a hint of laziness and confidence. Behind him, four men and three women followed.

They were dressed in a turquoise color, and their clothes were covered with advertising slogans.

Despite their undeniably jarring appearance, the seven of them standing together exuded a sense of confidence and arrogance.

But the audience actually likes this kind of thing.

"Shrek, Shrek, Shrek"

"They seem to be an academy team, but I've never heard of Shrek Academy," Ye Qingmei said, puzzled.

“Advanced Soul Master academies all have uniforms. The uniforms of Shrek Academy are obviously for students who aren’t serious,” Zhao Hengning said.

"It's best not to underestimate any opponent, especially those who can become our opponents in the miracle; they are not simple." Mu Yuanfang looked at the seven Shrek students. Although he couldn't confirm their strength, he could tell from their demeanor that they were not simple.

"Now, please welcome the challengers, Team Spark, to the stage."

　Sorry, I was hospitalized due to gastrointestinal problems.
