The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 125 The Tower! First Steps into the Fighting Arena~

Xue Jiansheng turned and left, leaving the others standing there looking at each other with complicated expressions.

"Old Xue still has such a fiery temper."

Shen Chuan shook his head helplessly, stepped forward again to smooth things over, raised his hand and patted Wan Zhuliu's shoulder, his tone gentle but with a hint of sincerity.

"But Lao Wan, if you have any new findings, you should let us know so we can cooperate."

"I'm sorry, but I have no comment until the case is closed."

Wan Zhuliu retorted coldly and without any politeness, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, his eyes filled with sharp scrutiny.

In his view, everyone here was a suspect, even the high-ranking First Judge of Changjiang South Province!

Perhaps sensing the sharpness in his eyes, Jiang Nandao, who had been resting with his eyes closed, finally slowly opened them. A phantom image of the divine tree flashed in his eyes, so fast that it seemed like an illusion.

"Just follow the rules, no need to say more."

His voice was calm yet carried an undeniable authority, instantly silencing the delicate atmosphere in the room.

Upon hearing this, Shen Chuan did not offer any further advice, but nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

"This year's freshmen have been enrolled for some time now, and it's time for them to step into the tower."

Jiang Nandao spoke slowly, and before he finished speaking, the phantom of the divine tree in his eyes turned into specks of light, and his aura became increasingly ethereal, as if he were about to merge with heaven and earth.

"The stars indicate that humanity is about to face a great crisis, and we must act quickly."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious, and they dared not slacken in the slightest. They bowed and quietly withdrew, leaving only Jiangnan Dao standing there, muttering words that no one could understand.

The manor was quiet and still.

Lu Yan sat cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by a faint aura of spiritual energy, and was diligently cultivating the Sacred Word Meditation Technique.

As his mental energy continued to fluctuate, the surrounding tables, chairs, and ornaments swayed slightly, making subtle sounds.

This is a phenomenon that only appears after a spiritual superhuman reaches a certain level. There is even a special path in the superhuman world for cultivating this, which is called "psychic power".

Lu Yan did not deliberately cultivate his mental power. This commotion was simply caused by his abundant mental power, which unintentionally triggered a resonance in the surrounding area.

Suddenly, Lu Yan opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly. A terrifying mental storm swept out instantly, blowing away all the clutter in the room, and the tables and chairs collided with ear-piercing sounds.

"fall!"

Lu Yan gave a soft shout, and his originally violent and disordered mental energy instantly became orderly, as if guided by an invisible force, steadily pressing all the blown-away objects back into their original positions without even a trace of collision.

[Sacred Word Meditation Method - Mastery!]

[Gained Trait - Keeping Your Word: Your words can spontaneously mobilize your mental energy to produce corresponding actions.]

"A promise must be kept—not a promise that becomes law."

Lu Yan clicked his tongue, a faint trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

Although it's only a difference of two words, the effects are worlds apart.

The ability to make one's words law directly influences the rules of heaven and earth, while the ability to ensure that one's words are carried out ultimately consumes one's own spiritual energy.

However, it cannot be denied that the characteristics of the Holy Word Meditation and the Radiant Breathing Technique are highly compatible with the path of judgment.

If a legitimate judge can master these two cultivation methods, the boost to their combat power will be considerable.

"I wonder if the teacher has succeeded in his cultivation? Should we ask him later?"

Lu Yan stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Although he achieved his mastery quickly thanks to the panel's assistance, his genuine cultivation experience is undeniable. If he were willing, teaching a few people wouldn't be difficult.

However, teachers are always concerned about their image, so they might not accept this offer of instruction.

"We'll just have to wait for a more suitable opportunity."

Lu Yan made a note of this matter and then got up to leave. He had now mastered two cultivation methods and urgently needed to purchase new ones to continue improving.

In the past, the astronomical price of a gold-level cultivation method was something he wouldn't have dared to even dream of. But with the wealth that Mu Yun "gifted" him a few days ago, plus the profits from the explosive popularity of the branch path, he is now quite wealthy.

But just as he was about to take a step, a strange sense of vigilance suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately activated the Eye of the Dragon.

The next instant, his vision suddenly rose, hovering high in the sky, with the entire manor spread out before him.

His gaze swept across the area quickly before settling on the tall, thin young man at the entrance of the manor.

"This appearance—is this Chu Xuan's brother?"

Looking at the other person's eyebrows and eyes, which were exactly the same as Chu Xuan's, Lu Yan frowned slightly.

The uproar caused by Chu Xuan's death was much calmer than he had expected; in fact, it was almost completely silent.

But the sudden arrival of this member of the Chu family today is by no means accidental.

What kind of underhanded tricks is the Chu family planning to pull this time?

With a thought, Lu Yan condensed a wisp of spiritual energy at his fingertips and quietly planted a hidden mark on the other party. Then, without making a sound, he took out the [Traveler] card.

He knew that the Chu family's lineage meant their thinking was different from ordinary people, so it was better to avoid trouble and minimize contact.

Outside the manor, Chu Ci pressed the doorbell, her eyes filled with barely concealed anticipation.

He was aware of the grudge between his younger brother Chu Xuan and Lu Yan, and had secretly suspected that Chu Xuan's death might be related to Lu Yan, but he would never act rashly based on unfounded speculation.

Moreover, he has come here today for something even more important.

He carefully investigated the personnel entry and exit records of the experimental building. Lu Yan happened to be on site during the days when the teachers announced the new route.

Although this efficiency is too outrageous, after eliminating all impossible options, the most likely candidate is actually this seemingly ordinary freshman, Lu Yan!

Of course, these are all just speculations and cannot be taken as factual evidence.

As far as he knew, Lu Yan's awakened original sequence was [Weapon Master], which was highly compatible with the Weapon Contract path.

Furthermore, Ning Ran's recent rise to fame and her close relationship with Lu Yan, combined with various clues, made his speculation increasingly reasonable.

He came to visit in person today to verify whether Lu Yan was indeed the mysterious "teacher"!

Chu Ci waited at the door for a long time, but the door remained closed.

"Did they go out?"

A hint of doubt arose in Chu Ci's heart. He had clearly investigated Lu Yan's whereabouts, and the other party should be in the manor.

"No, perhaps he misunderstood because of my identity. Let's wait a little longer."

He quickly found a reasonable explanation for himself, suppressed his anxiety, and continued to wait patiently.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan had already met up with Yin Shuo and Ning Ran at the agreed location.

"Lu Yan, why did you suddenly decide to ask us out?"

Yin Shuo, his face beaming with eagerness, rubbed his hands together and laughed, "How about we play a couple of rounds of Hearthstone first? I'm sure I can turn the tide this time and avenge my defeat!"

"I'm available anytime."

Lu Yan smiled slightly. He invited Yin Shuo precisely to accelerate the progress of the croupier sequence.

The dealer is only at Sequence 8 now, which is undoubtedly a drag compared to the strength of his other Sequence 6 counterparts. He must catch up as soon as possible.

"However, I need to buy two cultivation manuals first, which may take a while."

"Buy cultivation techniques? Why don't you wait until you pass through the Tower of Origin and exchange them directly?"

Yin Shuo looked surprised, then suddenly realized, "I almost forgot, you freshmen haven't reached that stage yet, so it's normal that you don't know."

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow; clearly, this was another area he had never ventured into before.

"A detailed explanation would be too complicated, and I doubt you'd want to hear it, so I'll just give a brief overview."

Yin Shuo scratched his head, his tone casual yet serious, "You can think of the Tower of Origin as a large secret realm. Once inside, you will encounter all sorts of unexpected scenes. In each scene, you may find follow-up information about the original path or rare original tokens."

To put it simply, the core of the tracing project is to use the tower to complete the original path!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yan suddenly realized that the tracing plan seemed to start strong but ended weakly, completely different from what his teacher had described. It turned out that the real risks and opportunities were hidden in that tall tower.

"By the way, do my senior sister Yao Qing and Saintess Xiao also need to participate?"

He had not forgotten Yao Xiangyang's instructions; if Yao Qing also needed to enter the tower, he would have to take extra care of her.

"You mean Yiren and the others? You don't need to worry about that."

Yin Shuo waved his hand, his tone relaxed, "They have already gained the approval of the end of the path. After entering the tower, they will mostly encounter safe training grounds, so there won't be much danger."

As he spoke, Yin Shuo's expression turned serious, and his tone became solemn: "On the contrary, Lu Yan, you need to be extra careful—we primordial sequences are the ones who receive the most special attention from the Tower. The dangers inside are far greater than you imagine."

Yin Shuo patiently explained the various intelligence inside the tower to Lu Yan, while Ning Ran quietly followed behind the two, her fingertips lightly touching the sword at her waist, silently communicating with her military contract.

This is a required course for the Military Contract path. Only by continuously improving the compatibility with the Military Contract can one unleash its greatest power in battle.

For Ning Ran, this directly affected the degree to which the demonic power within him was unsealed, so he naturally paid extra attention to it.

Just then, Ning Ran's phone suddenly vibrated.

He took out his phone, and after seeing the content on the screen, his previously calm eyes instantly lit up, revealing a long-suppressed fighting spirit surging within them.

"Sorry, I need to go to the fighting arena first."

Hearing this, Yin Shuo immediately became interested, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "That kid Guo Wei, finally answered your challenge?"

"Um."

Ning Ran nodded slightly, her tone revealing her urgency.

Ever since Lu Yan helped him resolve the hidden dangers within his body, his long-suppressed fighting spirit has completely erupted. He is eager to find an evenly matched opponent to test where his current limits lie.

Lu Yan became interested upon hearing this. Just as a dealer needs to rely on the game to improve his progress, his path to becoming a Divine Martial Saint also craves a battle of equal strength to hone his skills.

An opponent that Ning Ran values ​​so highly must also be able to meet the advancement requirements of a Divine Martial Saint.

"In that case, let's go take a look together."

Lu Yan took the initiative to speak, as he was also quite curious about the true strength of the elites of the Primordial Sanctuary.

"Alright! Let's go watch Ning Ran's match first. We can deal with buying the cultivation method later."

"

Upon hearing this, Yin Shuo didn't mince words and immediately led the two of them, speeding towards the fighting arena.
