Chapter 248: Chapter 0244: Ten Thousand Demon Tower Chapter 248 -0244: Ten Thousand Demon Tower The Ten Thousand Demon Tower was quite fad within the No Demon Academy.
The ancient tower, dark and sinister, stood forty-nine levels tall, piercing the clouds and emanating a bizarre and terrifying aura that was intimidating at a glance.
"So many people?”
Arriving near the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, Chen Yu’s expression was one of mild surprise.
At least a hundred students were gathered around the tower.
The assessnts of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower were in part a proof of strength. In addition to the challenge of the tower, those who perford well not only earned No Demon Points but also other rewards, which is why there were always many who ca to take on the tower each day.
However, most were there just to watch the excitent.
The Ten Thousand Demon Tower, as a symbolic testing ground of the No Demon Academy, also required paynt of No Demon Points each attempt, with the cost increasing with each subsequent try.
Therefore, those who were not confident about overcoming the challenges seldom attempted the climb, lest they waste their No Demon Points for nothing.
"Not long ago, the fresh talent ‘Lu Hechuan’ from the Ghostly Fierce Institute reached the sixteenth floor!”
"What’s that compared to? A freshman from the Wind Demon Academy went even further, up to the seventeenth floor, and Zheng Shifeng from the Blood Slaughter Institute also made it to the seventeenth floor!”
Since the freshn had just entered the academy and mostly lacked No Demon Points, there were many who tried their luck at the tower recently, and the most outstanding perforrs naturally beca the topic of conversation among other students.
Among them, Zheng Shifeng from the Blood Slaughter Institute had challenged the Ten Thousand Demon Tower and reached the seventeenth floor.
Also, there was a majestic, pitch-black stele next to the tower.
The stele was densely covered with nas that glowed with a faint luster, drawing much attention.
"Rankings?”
Chen Yu glanced briefly at the stele, quickly understanding its significance.
The rankings on this stele represented those of the tower challengers.
However, to have one’s na engraved on the stele, one must at least clear the twentieth floor.
Chen Yu’s gaze involuntarily went to the most dazzling na at the top of the stele, “Yuan Chen,” who had astonishingly reached the forty-sixth floor, not far from clearing all forty-nine levels of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.
But what Chen Yu didn’t know was that the higher the level in the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, the more difficult it was to advance even one level.
Just then, a young man and a young woman walked out of the entrance to the tower.
"There were three who attempted the tower just now, and two have been eliminated, leaving one. I wonder how many levels the last person will be able to clear.”
A chubby-faced young man spoke with a hint of anticipation.
Suddenly, a wave of hustle and bustle ca from a distance.
A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl with a cold deanor strode forward, clad in black, her slim and perfect figure sharply outlined. Her skin was pale and seed almost fragile, and her beautiful face, crowned with a pair of dark, bright eyes, ignored the eager gazes of the nearby students.
"Who is she? So beautiful!”
"Can’t believe you don’t know. Her na is Nie Xuan, the most beautiful among the new students this year!”
Many students focused on the Ten Thousand Demon Tower were attracted by Nie Xuan’s arrival.
The reputation of a beauty always spreads quickly, especially when the beauty is also powerful.
Chen Yu glanced briefly at her and paid no more attention. In his eyes, while her appearance was not lacking, she fell short compared to Qiu Xinxin, Ye Luofeng, and others. Having spent ti around Ye Luofeng, his immunity to beauty had also increased.
"Ten Thousand Demon Tower, I’ll give it a try!”
Chen Yu’s gaze fell on the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, ready to step forward.
Nie Xuan had a deep impression of Chen Yu; he had made a na for himself during the entrance assessnt by defeating a teacher, overshadowing even her and Duan Hao.
Nie Xuan felt a slight dissatisfaction with Chen Yu’s disregard, but seeing him heading towards the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, she couldn’t help but reveal a cold, smirking smile.
"Hmph, how ignorant. Each ti only three people are allowed to attempt the Ten Thousand Demon Tower. If you want to try, you must wait until the three who just entered all co out!”
Nie Xuan’s voice, clear and cold, resounded around the tower with a touch of disdain.
Once she spoke, the area quieted down quite a bit, making her words stand out even more.
Chen Yu, who was about to enter the tower, paused and felt sowhat embarrassed.
"So, that’s how it is!”
Chen Yu was not well inford about this.
No wonder when he prepared to enter the tower, a few senior students nearby had looked at him so strangely—it was because of this fact.
"Ha, isn’t this kid a bit clueless?”
"Eh? Why does this person look sowhat familiar?”
With Nie Xuan’s words, many male students present started teasing Chen Yu.
But a few people guessed Chen Yu’s identity and kept quiet.
Chen Yu didn’t bother with the surrounding comnts.
In the No Demon Academy, strength was everything. Once he displayed his formidable power in the tower, these people would naturally shut their mouths.
Although he had made a na for himself by defeating an instructor during the freshman assessnts, it was only among the freshn, and most of the seniors were unaware. The top talents among them were either in seclusion or adventuring outside; they might not even rember the date of new student orientation.
"Look quickly, that person has reached the sixteenth floor!”
Soone took notice of the situation in the Ten Thousand Demon Tower and exclaid.
The sixteenth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower was glowing with a dim, sinister light, making it extrely conspicuous.
The three freshn from the Black Star Academy had just attempted the tower, two of whom were eliminated at the fourteenth floor.
While they were preoccupied with Nie Xuan and mocking Chen Yu, the remaining person had made it to the sixteenth floor.
Among the new students, those who could reach above the fifteenth floor had significantly strong talent and ability.
"I rember that third person; he should be a Puppet Master, right?”
"Now I recall, the one wrapped in a black robe, really ugly looking!”
As the third person demonstrated a degree of talent, the crowd quickly took notice.
"It’s quite a niche profession, but a Puppet Master does have certain advantages when challenging the Ten Thousand Demon Tower!”
An older student ntioned.
"Black Star Academy, Puppet Master, cloaked in black robes, hideous appearance!”
Chen Yu was certain that this person was Kong Zhong.
Not much later.
Buzz~
The Seventeenth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower lit up.
"The seventeenth floor, it seems this Puppet Master has profound skills in puppetry, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to reach the seventeenth floor!”
"Maybe he can make it to the eighteenth floor. After all, Puppet Masters have advantages in the Ten Thousand Demon Tower. If he is well-prepared, perhaps he can succeed!”
At this mont, the discussions of most people focused on the Puppet Master, Kong Zhong.
Chen Yu, unfamiliar with the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, could not confirm whether Kong Zhong would reach the eighteenth floor.
Fifteen minutes later.
Buzz~
The eighteenth floor suddenly lit up!
Another fifteen minutes passed.
The nineteenth floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower lit up!
"Nineteenth floor, my goodness, this person has actually made it to the nineteenth floor!”
There were continuous exclamations nearby.
However, the light of the nineteenth floor had dimd down completely after less than a mont.
At the entrance of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, an ugly-faced man erged.
"Brother Kong, you’ve actually broken through the eighteenth floor, making us freshn of Black Star Academy so proud!”
Several Black Star Academy freshn imdiately ca forward to congratulate him.
"Hehe!”
Kong Zhong laughed with a touch of pride.
He soon noticed Chen Yu, and his pride instantly vanished.
"You’ve co to challenge the Ten Thousand Demon Tower too?”
Kong Zhong approached him proactively.
"Yes!”
Chen Yu nodded.
"Wait and see!”
Kong Zhong smiled and decided to stay to see which floor Chen Yu could reach.
"Chen Yu, after all, we co from the sa place, and we’ve been enrolled for a while. We should talk when you have ti!”
Seeing Chen Yu walking away, Kong Zhong seed to suddenly rember sothing, hesitated for a mont, and then spoke up.
"Hm?”
Chen Yu looked confused.
On the hunting competition, the two were enemies and not on good terms. What did Kong Zhong an by this?
Without dwelling on it, Chen Yu quickly walked into the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.
"Hmph!”
A cool and aloof snort ca from the crowd.
It was Nie Xuan, who was surrounded by many male students, also apparently intending to challenge the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.
"It would be an honor for , Wang, to challenge the tower alongside Miss Nie Xuan!”
A handso youth smiled gracefully and rushed toward the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.
The other young n nearby cursed, begrudging the quick thinking of this individual who seized the opportunity.
Unfortunately, the Ten Thousand Demon Tower only allowed three people to challenge at the sa ti.
Among the three, Chen Yu was the first to enter the Tower, followed closely by Nie Xuan, and the youth surnad Wang was the last.
Buzz!
The dull and silent first floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower suddenly lit up.
"What do you think, how far can each of the three of them get?”
"Nie Xuan was second in the regular admissions assessnt. She’s definitely going to be the first one this ti. Maybe she can make it to the twentieth floor!”
The mont he entered the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, Chen Yu felt a jolt in space, and five hundred No Demon Points were deducted from his Identity Token.
Then, he arrived in a gray, murky space.
Buzz buzz~
In the dim space, energy fluctuations surged, forming a black stream that rapidly took the shape of a humanoid black figure.
This figure was clad in black armor, entirely pitch-black except for the pair of eyes that glead blood-red, radiating a powerful demonic presence.
"I seem to have underestimated the Ten Thousand Demon Tower!”
Chen Yu looked surprised.
Not only did the tower contain separate spaces, but it also created enemies that were almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
"It seems that defeating him will let break through the first floor!”
Chen Yu’s expression beca determined, and he swiftly lunged forward.
The “Black Armor Demon” showed no fear and ca forward to et him.
Boom bang!
At the mont of contact with Chen Yu’s fist, the Black Armor Demon shattered with a loud explosion, turning into a puff of black mist that disappeared.
The minimum requirent to challenge the Ten Thousand Demon Tower was the Qi Transformation Realm, and the first floor’s Black Armor Demon possessed the strength of the Postnatal Early Stage of the Qi Transformation Realm.
After destroying the Black Armor Demon, a faint glow passed over the Identity Token in Chen Yu’s storage bag.
"I’ve got two hundred more No Demon Points!”
Chen Yu checked briefly.
Right after, he disappeared from this dim space and appeared inside a building.
Beside him were Nie Xuan and the youth surnad Wang.
In front of the three, was the entrance to the second floor of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.
Without a word, they all quickly stepped in.
After entering the second floor, Chen Yu once again arrived in a separate dark space.
This ti, he encountered two Black Armor Demons, both at the Postnatal Early Stage.
By this logic, the fifth floor had five Black Armor Demons at the Postnatal Early Stage.
And on the sixth floor, Chen Yu encountered Black Armor Demons at the Postnatal Middle Stage.
Outside.
The second layer of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower lit up.
Then, the third, fourth, and fifth floors illuminated one after another… until the tenth floor.
"The first five floors of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower correspond to the Postnatal Early Stage, six to ten are the Postnatal Middle Stage, and levels eleven to fifteen correspond to the Postnatal Late Stage. The first ten floors pose no difficulty for them!”
"From now on, we’ll be able to see who excels and who falls behind!”
The students were full of anticipation.
Buzz!
Sure enough, the eleventh floor lit up, but the light of the tenth floor had not yet faded.
This ant that soone had reached the eleventh floor, while others were still on the tenth floor.
However, shortly after the eleventh floor lit up, the twelfth imdiately followed.
Then.
The thirteenth floor.
The fourteenth floor.
The fifteenth floor.
"The speed of their progress hasn’t slowed a bit; it must be Nie Xuan!”
"For Nie Xuan, the first fifteen floors are child’s play, the difficulty of the fifteenth floor is probably no different from the first, right?”
Near the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, the discussions continued incessantly.
But most of the focus was on Nie Xuan.
"That is not necessarily the case!”
A smile curled on Kong Zhong’s ugly face.
