They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

The Demon Tower, as the name suggests, is a tall tower filled with demons.

It's like a dungeon, filled with countless monsters.

There are a total of one hundred floors, from low to high, making it a unique product of this world.

The strength of monsters varies in each tier.

The monsters on the first floor can be killed even by an ordinary person wielding a knife.

However, the higher the rank, the stronger the monsters become.

The first 30 floors of the Magic Tower are open to ordinary people and are used for newly awakened supernatural abilities to train.

For floors above the thirtieth, a unique certificate is required to proceed.

If Ling Yu wants to enter the Demon Tower, he first needs an entrance ticket, which is a strength test.

"There are so many people here!"

The fairy Ellie, hidden in Ling Yu's inner pocket, peeked out and saw a dense crowd.

Its density is comparable to that of a bustling street.

"After all, this is the only entrance to the entire Danjiang City," Ling Yu explained with a smile.

He is currently at one of the entrances to the Demon Tower, which is controlled by the Danjiang City Disaster Management Bureau.

As a result, all the awakened people in the city gather here, making it extremely congested.

"Where are we going next?" the fairy Ellie asked.

"I need to get proof of my strength first. I'm also very curious to know what my current level is in this world."

As Ling Yu spoke, he walked towards the building on the side.

As soon as Ling Yu entered the hall, he saw many people sitting in their seats waiting.

They only glanced at Ling Yu before looking away.

Many people come here to test their abilities, since abilities tend to increase over time, and changing one's credentials is essential.

Chapter 12 Are you not trying hard enough?

After receiving his number, Ling Yu casually found a seat and sat down.

As time passed, those who had arrived before him left one by one.

Finally, half an hour later it was his turn.

[Please proceed to Laboratory 3 for testing, number 104.]

When the broadcast came on and he heard it was his number, Ling Yu walked over naturally.

After indicating that it was her first time registering and handing over her ID card, Ling Yu was led to a crystal ball.

"Now, please attack it with your maximum power." The staff member, acting as the instructor, pointed to the crystal wall.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu nodded.

Extend one hand toward the crystal ball.

In the instant his mind focused, dark red Honkai energy condensed in his palm, and crimson lightning crackled in the void.

The staff member who saw this scene was slightly taken aback, then raised an eyebrow and subtly moved behind Ling Yu.

He had seen this kind of situation many times.

The greater the power, the wider the range of impact.

Many people release large-scale supernatural abilities when testing supernatural powers, which can damage houses.

At this moment, the person releasing the object is undoubtedly in the safest position.

Based on the principle that "things can break, but people can't be hurt," the staff chose to prioritize saving lives.

With the Honkai energy gathered in his palm fully collected, Ling Yu opened his eyes, a flash of dark red light appearing in his pupils. Then, he clenched his right hand tightly into the void.

A dark red torrent shot out from Ling Yu's hand and slammed directly into the crystal ball.

In an instant, the crystal ball shattered into pieces, which were then embedded heavily into the wall.

"Please wait a moment!"

The staff member had clearly encountered this situation before. After saying something to Ling Yu, he hurriedly walked towards the next room.

Ling Yu was puzzled as to why the voice came from behind him instead of the side.

By the time he wanted to ask, the staff member had already run out.

Soon after, the staff member returned with a new crystal ball and placed it in front of Ling Yu.

"Please simply place your hand on the crystal ball and release your energy; no attack is necessary," the staff member instructed.

The way people address each other has changed subtly.

Ling Yu did as instructed, placing her fair hand on the crystal ball. As the dark red Honkai energy spread, the originally dim crystal wall suddenly glowed brightly red, instantly filling the entire crystal ball.

A strange look flashed in the eyes of the staff member after seeing it.

He immediately said, "That's fine."

"When can you give me the proof?" Ling Yu asked, pulling his hand back.

"Please wait a moment, it should take about five minutes," the staff member said.

"Okay." Ling Yu nodded and watched the staff leave.

"Ling Yu, why don't you use the power of the Herrscher of Reason?"

After the staff left, the fairy Ellie in their arms curiously peeked out.

She blinked her big, light blue eyes.

Because her true form is the vast emptiness, her body can change size at different times.

In Ling Yu's understanding, there is no creature like the fairy Airi in this world, so to avoid trouble, Ling Yu would shrink the fairy Airi and hide her in the inner pocket of his clothes when he went out.

Only after he gains the ability to face threats openly will he allow the fairy Airi to appear in public.

"People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. It's never a bad thing to keep something under your belt when you're out in the world."

Ling Yu smiled slightly at Fairy Airi's question and gently pressed Fairy Airi's head back down with his index finger.

The fairy Ellie looks like a little pudding now, she's so cute.

This fulfilled Ling Yu's fantasy about villains.

Walter's experience is very valuable to learn from; it was all honed through his practice of sit-ups.

Although he himself relied on the Star of Eden because his body could not bear the power of the core, this also successfully misled Otto, causing him to misjudge Welt's power.

What Ling Yu is doing now is simply putting a [gravity] label on his Herrscher of Reason powers.

After all, the Herrscher of Reason's abilities are still terrifying.

They're practically weapons wholesalers.

Not long after, a staff member and a man in a suit walked over.

He was very excited when he saw Ling Yu.

Judging from Ling Yu's test performance, he is definitely an S-level ability user, and there isn't a single S-level ability user in the entire Danjiang City!

“Mr. Ling Yu, my name is Zhou Tong, and I am the manager here.”

"This is your inspection certificate."

The man in the suit spoke first, handing a certificate to Ling Yu.

"Thank you."

Ling Yu thanked him and accepted the gift.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhou Tong's voice came.

"and many more!"

"Is there anything else?" Ling Yu asked, puzzled.

Zhou Tong smiled and said, "It's like this, Mr. Ling Yu. Given that your strength has exceeded the scope of ordinary ability users, according to the rules, we can help you open access to the sixtieth floor of the Magic Tower. The prerequisite is that facial recording is required. I wonder if Mr. Ling Yu would like to do it now or at another time?"

Ling Yu remained silent for a moment.

He handed the proof over again, saying, "Thank you for your help."

"It's easy to talk about."

Zhou Tong accepted it with a smile, and then gestured for Ling Yu to proceed.

Led by the two, Ling Yu arrived at an office.

After a simple facial scan, the two sat down and waited.

"The receptionist told me that this is Mr. Ling Yu's first time undergoing a strength test?" Zhou Tongdao asked.

"Yes."

"Judging from your age, Mr. Ling Yu, you shouldn't be someone who has just awakened your superpowers. Why are you only coming to test it now?"

Ling Yu's heart stirred slightly.

Those who ask this kind of question are either suspicious or trying to recruit.

So Ling Yu calmly said, "I am a second awakening, and my family forbids me from entering the Demon Tower."

"I see."

Zhou Tong suddenly realized.

The spiritual revival has been ongoing for quite some time, but parents' fear of their children getting hurt will not disappear.

Within the magic tower, where there are opportunities, there are also dangers.

It's perfectly normal for some parents not to want their children to take risks.

"So, Mr. Ling Yu, are you here today to test your level first, and then discuss entering the Demon Tower with your family?"

Zhou Tong thought he had guessed correctly, but then...

"No."

Zhou Tong: "???"

Ling Yu smiled slightly and said, "For certain reasons, I am now an orphan."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong was stunned.

"Okay, the certificate should be ready by now."

Ignoring the bewildered Zhou Tong, Ling Yu stood up, took the ID card with the edited information, and left the office directly.

After Ling Yu left

The staff member approached Zhou Tong and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Chief, are you having hysteria?"

Zhou Tong, who had been jolted back to his senses, slapped his hand away: "Get lost, you're the one who's delusional."

"Then what are you spacing out for?"

He rubbed his hands and asked.

"I'm just a little slow on the uptake," Zhou Tongdao said, rubbing his temples.

The staff were puzzled.

You're such a con artist, can't you even think straight?

Then, with a mysterious expression, he said, "Chief, are you not working hard enough?"

Zhou Tong's face darkened.

Seeing that Zhou Tong was about to get angry, the staff member quickly changed the subject: "Director, why didn't you just say you wanted to invite him to join?"

Hearing this, Zhou Tong's expression softened slightly: "To put it bluntly, it's putting pressure on him. Someone with his abilities would be sought after in any city's disaster relief bureau. If he wanted to join, he would have already done so."
