He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Didn't you... consider the possibility that he might be a genius?"

Like the phantoms in the tower, are they beings that defy convention?

Someone timidly raised a question.

"Absolutely impossible!" someone immediately retorted loudly.

"The phantoms inside the tower are geniuses among geniuses, accumulated over hundreds or thousands of years!"

Could it be that this guy, who's not even level 10, is more powerful than all the geniuses of the past thousand years?

"Exactly! Kunlun Academy has been established for so many years, and we've never heard of a student who didn't even reach level 10!"

"Hmph! If he can climb to the 10th floor, I'll eat ten pounds of hot, spiral-shaped chocolate!"

"Count me in! I'll bet too!"

The crowd spoke without any restraint, their voices carrying clearly.

Upon hearing these comments, Bibi Dong's face instantly turned cold, and a hint of chill flashed in her eyes.

"My lord, why don't I teach them a lesson and show them what it means to have trouble with your words!"

She transmitted her voice to Lu Chen, her tone filled with murderous intent.

"No need." Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

"Wait, we'll just slap them in the face with the facts."

Zanglong and Miaotiaojun exchanged a glance, their eyes darting around, and immediately understood their boss's meaning.

The two immediately sprang into action, taking out megaphones, tables, notebooks, and other items from their spatial equipment and setting up a stall right there on the spot.

"Come on, come on! The market's open! The market's open!"

Hidden Dragon shouted at the top of his lungs,

"I bet on how deep my old man's energy sinks!"

Is someone below level 10 a hidden genius or a mediocre talent who relies on connections?

"Place your order now, no questions asked! We're honest and transparent!"

Miao Tiaojun also shouted from the side:

Don't miss it!

The opportunity to make a fortune overnight with a small investment is right in front of you!

The odds for betting on the boss's floor are 1 to 5 (less than 10 floors)!

The odds for betting on the boss with more than ten layers of betting are 1 to 10!

For floors above twenty, the payout is 100!

And so on, with no upper limit!

Sima Xuantian's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this.

These two guys actually dared to do this at the freshman trial site!

How could they openly run a gambling game in front of so many professors and students?

Aren't you afraid of being punished?

In the void, a kind-faced old woman smiled:

"Haha, these two chubby little guys are so cute, and they're quite brave."

She actually admired Canglong and Miaotiaojun's audacious behavior.

"Perfect timing, we're just killing time anyway, how about we try our luck with a bet?"

Xuanyuan Shan smiled and made the suggestion, his gaze sweeping over the other mentors.

"Fine! I'll bet you! If you lose, you'll have to honestly tell me how you became younger!"

A tutor responded immediately.

"Alright! Brother Zhan, please be my witness!"

Xuanyuan Mountain looked at Zhan Fei.

"it is good."

Zhan Fei smiled and nodded, also becoming interested.

"I bet this kid won't get past the fortieth floor at most!"

After all, there's a level cap; even the best equipment and items have their limits.

One of the mentors spoke first.

"I bet it won't exceed thirty-five floors!"

"I'd bet thirty floors!"

Other mentors then shared their own opinions.

They wouldn't judge heroes solely by rank; considering the extraordinary nature of those around Lu Chen...

It's speculated that he might possess powerful equipment or items as a trump card.

Therefore, the number of floors given is much higher than the estimate based solely on the grade.

Even so, no one believed he could surpass fifty floors.

After all, the higher you go in the Kunlun Tower, the more difficult it becomes.

Each layer of the phantom is a top performer among its kind.

The attribute suppression caused by the level difference is real.

Listening to everyone's assessment, Xuanyuan Shan inwardly scoffed:

You old folks, you're getting less and less knowledgeable as you get older!

You've never seen my niece's husband at his peak, have you?

That thing could break my old bones to pieces!

After everyone had placed their bets, Xuanyuan Shan finally spoke, his words sure to be startling:

"I bet he'll reach the top!"

"Reached the summit?!"

"Old bald guy, have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Over the years, only a handful of people have been able to reach the top of the Kunlun Tower during their freshman year!

Those are all legendary monsters!

"Can this kid compare to them?"

"Haha, old bald man, you've gotten younger, but you've also become dumber, haven't you?"

The mentors were taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, thinking that Xuanyuan Mountain was talking nonsense.

Xuanyuan Shan just smiled and didn't say anything, but he made a mental note of the few guys who were laughing the loudest.

We'll make them lose everything, down to their underwear!

Furthermore, when they need Lu Chen's help in the future, his nephew-in-law must give them a proper "welcome".

They won't let you leave until they've scraped off a layer of skin.

Below, the betting odds opened by Canglong and Miaotiao Junkai also attracted a lot of people.

More than half of the test takers were tempted and placed their bets.

"I bet he'll only make it to the tenth floor!"

"It's too high! Five stories!"

"Three levels! No more than that! An 8th-level character would be lucky to clear three levels!"

No gambling den can sink more than fifteen stories.

Watching the credits flow into the gambling table, Canglong and Miaotiao Jun were overjoyed.

"Hehe! I won! A bet of 300,000 credits!"

Canglong secretly ran to Lu Chen's side and whispered the good news.

"Good, you can use the credits you earn yourselves."

Lu Chen said calmly.

He knew the two of them had spent a fortune on barbecue the night before, and this was a good opportunity for them to recover their losses.

Since I'm guaranteed to get first place, I'll get plenty of rewards from the academy and opportunities in the Tower of Babel, so I don't care about this "extra income".

"Thanks, boss!"

Upon hearing this, Canglong was so excited he almost jumped up.

On the tower, the other members of the same group, such as Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu, had already completed their challenges, with mediocre results; the highest score they achieved was only twenty floors.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Chen, who was the last to enter.

Amidst countless gazes, some curious and some disdainful, Lu Chen calmly walked towards the portal.

"Go for it, boss!"

"Boss, let's dazzle their titanium alloy eyes!"

Zanglong and Miaotiao Jun cheered enthusiastically.

"Pfft! I'm going to win this game! He's only level 8, I could take him down with one hand!"

Those who placed heavy bets on the low number of sinking layers were full of confidence.

However, things quickly went wrong after Lu Chen entered the Kunlun Tower.

On the light screen, the numbers representing the number of subsidence layers began to jump:

1th floor... 2th floor... 3th floor...

The speed is dazzling, almost one layer per second!

"Holy crap! Is there something wrong with the Kunlun Tower? Why is it flashing so fast?"

"Look! He's reached the tenth floor!!"

"What?! How long has it been? Less than ten seconds, and he's already on the tenth floor???"

The square erupted in chaos, filled with gasps and exclamations. Those who had bet on Lu Chen stopping below the tenth floor turned deathly pale.

"Oh no! Oh no! My credits!"

"It's all gone! Everything's gone!!" Many people were ashen-faced and collapsed to the ground. They had thought they could earn some extra money, but instead, they lost everything.

They couldn't understand how a level 8 person could have such exaggerated combat power.

The numbers on the screen were still jumping rapidly:

11th floor... 12th floor... 13th floor...

The illusory guardian figure that Lu Chen encountered

Whether it's a hot-blooded youth wielding a long spear,

Or perhaps it's a mysterious girl skilled in stealth, or a strong, muscular man with powerful punches...

Without exception, they were all shattered by his single punch!

The speed shows no sign of slowing down!
