Master, when can I become your wife?

At this very moment, inside the Tower of Peaks, Wu Lingxiao is challenging the 972nd floor.

The difficulty of the Tower of Trials increases dramatically as you progress.

He passed the 599th floor on his first try.

On the 799th floor, he was accidentally killed more than a hundred times, but he still made it through.

Now, he is at the peak of his tribulation cultivation, but he is stuck on the 972nd level!

This is his thirteenth attempt.

"Young man, your courage is commendable, but your strength is lacking. Even if your repeated attempts can help you figure out my methods, the same applies to me. You still need to calm down."

Inside the Tower of Peaks, standing opposite Wu Lingxiao was a handsome young man.

In the later stages of the Trial Tower, you will no longer face monsters.

Rather, they are the afterimages of countless powerful figures throughout the long river of time.

The young man before them was a remnant of a powerful figure who was at the peak of his tribulation in the river of time.

Wu Lingxiao twitched the corner of his mouth. It was undeniable that what the other party said was true. After losing twelve times in a row, he was indeed getting a little carried away.

But he wouldn't listen!

If you can't even beat this level, how can you expect to clear the Peak Tower with your peak Tribulation Transcending cultivation?

Behind him, there is another Mahayana stage cultivator waiting for him!

Wu Lingxiao didn't say much. A long spear appeared in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the young man.

The young man casually dodged to the side, saying, "Your speed and strength are both acceptable, but brute force outweighs your technique. I suppose you usually fight with the same relentless, charging-for-the-moment attitude?"

As he spoke, a gentle breeze stirred around the young man.

It appears gentle, and the force it brings is not strong.

But this gust of wind sent Wu Lingxiao flying backward, crashing to the ground with a thud.

"Get serious, kid. I'll get serious too."

With a flick of his sleeve, a gigantic, unidentified half-body statue formed by a hurricane suddenly rose up behind him.

In an instant, the hurricane swept across the entire battlefield, causing Wu Lingxiao to lose his balance for a moment.

"..."

Wu Lingxiao's lips twitched; this was somewhat outrageous.

So you didn't use your full strength when you killed him twelve times before!

The young man remained calm and said loudly, "Boy, you've probably fought too many weak cultivators of the same level. When you face me, you give me the feeling that you regard me as someone you can bully."

After a moment of silence, Wu Lingxiao suddenly unleashed an astonishing aura, his violent spiritual power keeping the hurricane at bay.

The young man was right. He had been practicing with the same skill for so long that he was now approaching the tower with a playful attitude.

He is the Holy Son of the Dao Seeking Sect, not some random peak Tribulation Transcending cultivator you might see anywhere on the street!

"Haha, that's more like it! Go all out and let me see what you're really capable of!"

……

At Trial Peak, Luo Yunxi was still diligently climbing the tower.

Lying on the ground, Ye Junze was a little bored, so he looked at Lin Qiu beside him and asked, "Did you climb the tower after you broke through to the Tribulation Transcending stage?"

Lin Qiu shook his head and said, "Not yet. I didn't go because you weren't on the list."

When it comes to climbing towers, you can't start before Ye Junze.

Otherwise, Ye Junze would have ridiculed him mercilessly after surpassing him in the rankings; he had experienced this more than once.

Of course, he also mocked Ye Junze mercilessly.

It's about reciprocity, after all.

Whoever ranks higher has the right to bark like a dog.

Although most of the time it was Ye Junze who mocked him.

The few times he mocked Ye Junze were because Ye Junze's cultivation had improved and he could no longer compete for points. He would continue to compete for points until he surpassed Ye Junze, and then he would shamelessly retaliate.

It was so satisfying to see Ye Junze so frustrated yet helpless because his cultivation level had improved and he couldn't score points!

Although this behavior is somewhat unreasonable.

But so what? The leaderboard is there, and he's ranked above Ye Junze even with the same level and cultivation.

This is a fact!

Unfortunately, Ye Junze later learned to be smarter and consistently ranked among the top in every level, making it impossible for him to beat Ye Junze even with his best efforts to improve his score.

Fortunately, he still had a few wins to fall back on, otherwise he might have been bullied into silence by Ye Junze.

Ye Junze thought for a moment and said, "Let's climb the tower after Yunxi's trial is over. It's been a long time since I've climbed one, and I miss it."

"Sure, I'm currently in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and I'd like to test my progress. I wonder how many levels I can pass."

Lin Qiu naturally wouldn't refuse; he would climb the tower sooner or later.

However, he was very self-aware and did not intend to compete with Ye Junze in rankings; he was content as long as he could pass.

The levels that follow are all monsters.

To put it simply, the 799th floor almost drove him to despair. He tried countless times before finally managing to get into the top ten.

I don't know if they've been kicked out yet.

"Climb as many floors as you can, or let's have a speed contest. Whoever loses has to treat the other to a year's worth of drinks at the Forget-Worry Pavilion."

"?"

Lin Qiu was completely dumbfounded. "Aren't you bullying me? I only broke through to the Tribulation Transcending stage a couple of days ago. Only an idiot would compare himself to you."

"Oh, I thought you'd transformed into an unparalleled genius since you broke through to the Tribulation Transcending stage so quickly," Ye Junze said with a smile.

To be honest, Lin Qiu is indeed a genius. Looking at the entire Dao Seeking Sect, there are not many who can compare to Lin Qiu.

This guy... has always been just a little bit worse than me.

He once suspected that Lin Qiu was bound to some kind of system, because no matter how fast he improved, Lin Qiu could barely keep up.

Now I have doubts too.

"Praising me to death won't work; I simply won't compete."

Lin Qiu curled his lips. He wouldn't fall for that trick. What was the difference between this and directly saying that he would invite Ye Junze to drink at the Forget-Worry Pavilion for a year?

Oh, there are still differences.

Ye Junze would have to remember his good words, but if he lost the competition, then it would be Ye Junze who won by his own ability.

"Want to participate in the tower climbing competition? Count me in."

Hearing what the two were saying, Yue Qingge's eyes lit up, and she wanted to join in.

"How many floors are you on?"

Ye Junze looked at Yue Qingge with a strange expression. Did this guy, who was at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, want to bully them, who were newbies at the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending stage?

Yue Qingge replied with a smile, "The 969th floor. I got beaten up last time and haven't had a chance to get revenge yet."

"..."

Ye Junze said very seriously, "I think you should compete with Wu Lingxiao instead of bullying us two newbies."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm the only newbie."

Lin Qiu lay on the ground and earnestly corrected him, saying that as long as he admitted that he was a piece of trash, then he would be invincible.

Yue Qingge shrugged and said, "That guy has been inseparable from Long Xiao lately, I haven't seen him at all, I wonder what he's up to."

"The Holy Son? I know him. It seems he took that little dragon man to climb the Peak Tower. I saw him when I went to deliver resources to the Divine War Peak." Lin Qiu suddenly said.

"Little Dragon Man? Oh, Long Xiao, right? How many floors has he climbed?" Yue Qingge asked.

"I don't know, I didn't stay long."

"We'll find out when we get there. You two are the ones on the top two spots on the 849th floor, aren't you?"

"Yes, I was a minute faster than Wu Lingxiao, and I even left him a message," Yue Qingge said with a smile.

"What was left behind?"

"Can't even do it for a minute? You're so useless."

"six."
