I can travel to the past and the future

At this moment, Qiao Yuan has arrived in the future timeline one minute later. At that time, the Seventh Tower is bustling with people. The first batch of students has set off one after another, numbering about two or three hundred. Some of the remaining students are eager to try, while others are observing the situation.

Overall, their levels can be divided into three types: one is students who have just advanced to the first level, and they are all similar to him in that they are "solitary"; the second type is students who have reached the first level of "awakening".

The third type is the student who has achieved second-order sublimation.

As for the first-tier [Limit Breaker], he only saw one in this seventh tower, which is extremely rare.

On the one hand, it is because those who break through limits are very rare, and on the other hand, they can directly advance to the second-tier sublimation after reaching the limit.

Simply put, the time spent in the "breakthrough" phase is very short, and most people, like Yan Baobao, are on the path to breaking through.

If it weren't for the pollution outside the city, which to some extent suppressed his physical and spiritual abilities, with the baby's talent, he would probably have easily reached the second or even third tier in the main city.

Besides, the saying goes, "The poor study literature, the rich study martial arts." From childhood to adulthood, the money for buying martial arts potions came from the scholarship money Bao Bao received.

Qiao Yuan had a feeling that from now on, the baby's rank would rise rapidly.

At this moment, the arrogant blond youth had already easily passed the first level.

The skill level is quite good.

After him, the burly boy and the sickly teenager, among others, easily bypassed the barrier one after another, each relying on their sequence abilities, as if all they needed to do was control the blinking frequency of the light beings.

Although they are all simulated levels, the atmosphere and materials are very realistic.

In the past, outside the city, he had seen some unfortunate people who had been contaminated by the radiation of the Light People. Their skin was severely mutated, their bodies would gradually turn translucent, and then they would explode and die in great pain.

It is said that true light beings are translucent creatures that can absorb and release light, and are other cosmic life forms that are completely different from humans.

Now, revisiting this special level, Qiao Yuan quickly grasped the pattern. It was similar to playing a music rhythm game, with a very tight timing at the very end.

This assessment seems quite interesting. It appears unfair, but because of the "predecessors who planted the trees," later students can plagiarize the results and even follow behind, so the speed is not slow.

However, the differences between first-order and second-order sublimation are still very obvious. Most of the ones we see so far are overwhelmingly superior in terms of physique, which leads to differences in ability.

Many students were able to pass the test, but mastering the details was not easy. He personally witnessed some students fail in the end, making unexpected mistakes.

Although everyone has two chances to make a mistake, this is only the first level.

The students who remained silent and observed the situation later actually benefited, as they were less likely to make mistakes.

The problem is that those second-tier students can't dawdle; they're all aiming for the rankings. Once they pass, they scramble to get upstairs, each one riding high on their own.

Students who are lagging behind can keep up in the first level, but this gap will likely widen rapidly as the levels continue to rise.

A confident leader, a follower who feels his way across the river, and an observer who is always a step behind.

Each has its own advantages and limitations.

The more Qiao Yuan observed, the more he felt that the assessment had a unique and profound meaning. Just like what Teacher Wang from the Academic Affairs Office had mentioned, whether to pursue speed or stability was a personal choice.

Every choice comes with a price.

I remember that various ascendants themselves have front-line and back-line classes. Some are suitable for charging into battle, while others are suitable for support. So, it seems that what Teacher Wang just mentioned about comprehensive consideration is true.

He had now reached the checkpoint on the second floor. This was still the radiation zone of the Light People, but there were now some injured teammates. According to the rules projected on the ceiling, he not only needed to get through it, but also to rescue people.

Although these simulated teammates are all virtual holographic projections, their movements are very realistic.

However, Qiao Yuan felt that in reality, robots could be dispatched for rescue in such situations. This challenge was mainly testing friendship and responsibility.

Although technology is highly advanced today, it has always been people-oriented, or rather, humanity itself is upholding its bottom line and not entrusting everything to machines. As the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket.

The Cyber ​​God of the Twilight Group at the beginning of the year is a case in point. Although the impact could be eliminated by newly produced electronic products, it was still exploited by Caesar, causing countless Ember Floating Cars to become uncontrollable during that catastrophe.

Jamming electronic equipment is a common tactic in war, but it poses a significant threat.

Like that time outside the city, the Ember Airship was routed in a short period of time. One wrong step led to another, resulting in heavy casualties. It was a hidden danger that most people ignored, but if it were used, it would be a disaster.

Therefore, Caesar deserves to die!

He had never forgotten, but he was busy these past two days and would report it once he was done.

I wonder how much his credit score will increase after such a great achievement.

Furthermore, the credit score will increase based on the final ranking in this tower challenge.

Adding the clues provided to Dr. Lin Xuan, the symbiotic female doctor, makes it a triple celebration.

Soon he followed the blond boy and the others who were at the forefront to the third floor.

A high credit score is indeed very valuable, and that confidence is not just youthful arrogance.

The third floor features a constantly collapsing holographic projection building, adding many more variables to the situation.

After that, he went through the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors in one go, relying on the timeline and his photographic memory to make him incredibly efficient.

The number of people attempting the tower climb decreases rapidly as the floors rise higher.

At first, a large number of students followed, but gradually many students could not keep up with the pace.

There was also a small group of students who were too eager and made frequent mistakes, failing before reaching the tenth level.

Some boys complained, and some girls cried, causing some students to subconsciously slow down their pace. Although they would be at a disadvantage in terms of ranking, they knew that once they failed, it was over.

But at their age, they are all seventeen or eighteen, the most spirited and impetuous time of their youth, and most students are still making great strides.

Qiao Yuan is now at the forefront. The tenth level is a watershed, with dense fog everywhere, simulated by flames, and monsters in between!

He is the most typical prisoner of time.

Humans, whose time is distorted by the invasion of the multiverse, suffer from a collapse of reason and constant tearing and reconstruction of their souls in multiple spaces and times, ultimately imprisoning themselves in their own bodies.

They were in extreme pain and had become puppets of negative emotions. Moreover, their necks and limbs could extend nearly ten meters like pythons!

It looks terrifying.

I remember that Baby had handled two cases of time prisoners outside the city, but he had never actually encountered one before.

This is the lowest level of monster corrupted by the layers of time; there are many more powerful ones above it.

Currently, there are five or six Time Prisoners in the tenth-floor checkpoint, appearing and disappearing in the thick flames and fog.

According to the rules of this level, as long as you don't get bitten or entangled by the Time Prisoner, it's all about reaction, speed, and decisiveness.

The top dozen or so second-tier students were mostly relaxed, and with their average physique exceeding level 15, it just took them a little longer.

The hundreds of students at the head of the group were all at the first level of awakening, and there were also some second-level students who were not yet at the second level and were traveling alone. With the leaders leading the way, they managed to get by relatively smoothly after some bumps and bruises, but mistakes were inevitable.

The students behind him, Qiao Yuan, who had been flying at the very front the whole time, didn't know much about him.

However, he felt that two mistakes were still too few opportunities. After all, with thirty levels, even if many of them were similar, the difficulty was still very high.

It is estimated that in the end, many students will not be able to reach the top, even though they are all geniuses.

The top three have remained consistently high: the arrogant blond boy, the burly guy who loves to talk big, and the quiet, short-haired girl.

The arrogant, sickly boy from before had slipped to fifth place, and his face looked quite unpleasant.

The next two got into a fight. The man and woman were at odds with each other. The man was a pampered aristocrat, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with elegant brown curly hair. His mannerisms were similar to Charles', but his words were more sarcastic. He looked at the woman with disdain and mockery.

The girl was quite amusing; apparently, her parents were federal congressmen. She kept criticizing the aristocracy, saying this wasn't right, that wasn't right, blah blah blah, which made the curly-haired boy grit his teeth in anger. They bickered the whole way.

Because fighting is prohibited during the tower climbing assessment, verbal sparring is rampant, and there are many arguments.

He only learned the names of these students by watching the top 100 rankings that were updated in real time on the ceiling.

The Seventh Tower 001: Charlie Bruce.

The Seventh Tower 002: Lu Qiuhai.

The Seventh Tower 003: Jiang Wan.

The Seventh Tower 004: Julian Allen.

The Seventh Tower 005: Meng Zimo.

The Seventh Tower 006: Finn.

The Seventh Tower 007: Ye Yutang.

The Seventh Tower 008: Zhao Le.

……

Qiao Yuan is now watching quietly like a time traveler, which is quite interesting.

I wonder which floor the baby has reached, but I imagine taking first place shouldn't be a problem.

He knew Yan Baobao very well. She had been very strict with herself since childhood, extremely competitive, and was also a Heavenly King. Her physique far exceeded the first-order level and was comparable to these second-order individuals.

The speed gradually slowed down after the tenth, fifteenth, and twentieth floors.

Half an hour passed before Qiao Yuan finally returned to reality on the 20th floor.

Now that he has returned to the beacon, everything is just beginning, and he already has the speedrun answers for the first twenty floors. Even compared to the blond boy who has been far ahead, he is more confident.

The advantages of traveling to the timeline made him even more willing to do so at this moment.

He then spoke to Hu Tu, "Follow me." After saying that, he caught up with the blond-haired boy who had rushed out first, and ran alongside the burly Lu Qiuhai.

"What? You're that confident?" Hu Tu was taken aback for a moment, but still followed.

During that catastrophe, he owed his life to Qiao Yuan, and he trusted him implicitly.

As they progressed through the challenges, the expressions of these top-tier second-level students quickly changed.

Qiao Yuan was indeed extremely decisive and calm.

But they didn't say anything; after all, it was only the first level of the challenge, too easy.

Qiao Yuan held nothing back and wasn't afraid of attracting attention. His sibling relationship with the genius baby, coupled with the Pioneer Sequence, was enough to silence all doubts.

After that, he was far ahead on the second, third, and fourth floors, passing through each floor at the fastest speed!

Hu Tu was stunned from behind: "Holy crap, are you speedrunning this? Did the class monitor give you extra lessons?"

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "Hurry up and keep up."

The second-tier students were gradually taken aback, especially the arrogant blond Charlie and Lu Qiuhai. The two had been particularly arrogant just now, but now they had been overshadowed by Qiao Yuan, a mere first-tier student...

Even if they tried to remain calm and collected, their expressions gradually became uneasy.

"This is outrageous!" Lu Qiuhai stared intently at Qiao Yuan, "You...you!"

Charlie the blond scoffed, "Tch, just lucky bastard. He'll be finished soon. How good can a first-tier cultivator be?"

In his sarcastic tone, he thought about surpassing Qiao Yuan as soon as possible and taking first place.

In fact, their physical abilities were all above level 20, three or four times that of Qiao Yuan, giving them a huge advantage. Their physical bodies had already reached the point where they could withstand ordinary bullets.

However, they need to think to pass the level, while Qiao Yuan has already passed it once. As a result, they gradually narrowed the gap, but they couldn't gain a significant lead or widen the gap by a large margin.

As they arrived at the tenth floor, the blond Charlie, Lu Qiuhai, Meng Ziming, curly Finn, and others all looked embarrassed, increasingly resentful of Qiao Yuan's lead.

"You bastard! You're cheating, aren't you?" Lu Qiuhai grumbled incessantly, "I just don't believe it!"

Meng Ziming was even more furious and said, "It's all your fault, you bastard, that made me underperform."

Jiang Wan, the short-haired girl who had remained silent throughout, revealed a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Charlie frowned: "Impossible! How could I be inferior to you at this level!"

He couldn't understand why, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't surpass Qiao Yuan.

In many challenges, just when he had figured out the answer, Qiao Yuan always beat him to it, which gave him a strong sense of frustration.

It's as if all his efforts stemmed from Qiao Yuan's lead, which is just awful!

Especially since there's this fatso next to me who keeps praising that pretty boy, it's so annoying.

"Qiao Yuan? Is this the advantage of being a pioneer? He's too strong, hahaha."

"Wow, I've actually been in the top three all along! If Qin Xue knew this, she'd be so happy, hehe."

Qiao Yuan smiled without saying a word and continued to advance with his first-place advantage, ignoring the noise.

When they reached the fifteenth floor, Lu Qiuhai broke down and said, "You better stop, you bastard! What makes you think you're so skilled? It's like you've been here before."

"A mere first-level newbie? This is too unbelievable, too absurd. I don't believe it."

"Hey, I'm talking to you, kid!"

The burly Lu Qiuhai kept rambling on, relentlessly attacking Qiao Yuan, his teeth clenched in anger.

Hu Tu couldn't help but frown: "You're babbling on and on like a woman, making a fool of yourself."

His words acted like a fuse, completely igniting the frustration and resentment of Lu Qiuhai.

"What did you say? I'm a disgrace? Go to hell! If it weren't for your friend, a piece of trash like you wouldn't even make it into the top 100. You're not worthy to talk to me; you wouldn't even get to see me!"

Hu Tu's face flushed red, and he was about to retort when he heard Qiao Yuan say calmly, "Don't yell, if you're bad, practice more."

"Damn it! What are you capable of?" Lu Qiuhai shouted defiantly, growing angrier the more he thought about it.

Qiao Yuan smiled casually and said, "He's only good enough for first place, nothing special."

Lu Qiuhai was furious. No matter how he looked at it, he found Qiao Yuan particularly annoying, but he couldn't do anything about it. Although he had doubts, he had no evidence.

At this moment, the blond Charlie's face completely fell as he said, "Don't be arrogant. The outcome is not yet decided. It's only the fifteenth floor. I don't believe you can stay in the lead forever."

"That's right, the outcome is still uncertain, and I am the dark horse," Qiao Yuan said, his eyes gleaming.
