(From MC's Perspective)
After arriving at the ninth floor, my expression become a little serious. I have been fighting against a Class 1 Monster after entering the fifth floor. Each and every time the monster's count increases by one. Now, I'm on the ninth floor. After realizing this pattern, I confirmed that I'm going to face four monsters at the same time.
Just as I made calculations in my mind.
"Whizzzzz" a wing flapping sound resonated in the area.
In my perception, I spotted four Horn Bee's. As expected they were Class 1 Monsters and their size is half of mine. My heart palpitates little by spotting the needle like a stinger. I race my mind to recall its description. A Horn Bee Class Monster, it belongs to the poison category. The name Horn comes from the long needle-like stinger.
These venomous bees can suck blood from their enemies in a matter of minutes. Especially, its deadly venom paralyzes enemies on the spot. These Horn Bees kills enemies by sucking their blood. After understanding the pattern, I begin to sketch good plan to wipe out these bees as soon as possible.
On the other hand, Four Horn Bee's appeared out of thin air. Their wing flapping was so fast that it created howling winds nearby. After spotting Zack with their small eyes, they moved towards him to launch a sting attack.
I heard a loud wing flipping sound, I knew these bees were fast. Especially, fighting against these four bees in terms of Speed will be difficult. So, I decided to do a defensive counter attack. As one of the horn bee's came towards me with a break necking speed.
I recited the blood method in my mind. It's been so long since I used this method. I never thought this would come in Handy during battle. My blood ring rune in my mind begins to flicker as I recited the blood method. As a result, I released Invisible aura around me like a shield. It's a Peak Special Trainee Aura. I'm one level stronger than them. So, I had no worries facing them.
Then I gripped my sword to swing.
On the other hand, The Horn bee wasn't able to see the aura as it's colorless. But when it reached near him, it felt real horror. The Horn Bee wants to fly back but it becomes immobile due to level suppression. Not only have that, the colorless aura of Blood Element made its small mind further blanked.
On the other hand, seeing that my plan becomes successful. I made a vertical cut.
It was so fast, my blade didn't face any resistance as it easily split the Horn bee body into two. As a result of it, it dies and finally dissipates into the thin air.
Seeing that I'm stunned, it was too easy. I thought with my physique alone, I could crush all the way to level ten. But I didn't expect my other skills to be so handy.
Then I used the same method to kill the remaining three Horn bee's. Unlike Apes they don't have strong physiques. As long as you can stay from those deadly sting, you can easily kill them.
After that a bright light shone on me. Due to that, I instantly recovered my Peak State. It seems like the default function of this tower, Even though I don't need it. It still does its job.
Then I disappeared from the spot and appeared on the tenth floor.
I signed in relief after reaching the tenth floor successfully. It was the limit set by Elder Thornton. "He…He….He…" I don't know what his reaction will be? When he knew it took me no time to reach the tenth floor.
Perhaps he underestimated me. Nobody knows my true cultivation level. Even though Elder Thornton set the goal of ten floors, on the other hand I yet to reach my limit. So far I have done overkill due to level suppression. I don't know what will happen? When I fight against the same rank?
Just as I'm pondering it, the challenge of level ten started. "Now, there will be five Class 1 Monsters" I whispered to myself.
"Hissssss" a hissing sound reverberated in the area.
On the other hand, five monsters appeared out of thin air.
Dark Violet Snake- Class 1 Monster.
Five large snake monsters together made a loud hissing sound.
"This…" Seeing five snake monsters together, I'm a little startled.
Though it's just a phantom, fighting against them feels real and creepy.
I didn't use my colorless aura this time. It will become simply too easy. So, I'm going to sharpen my blade without leaking my aura.
On the other hand, the Snake Monster saw a powerless human. Since Zack didn't leak his aura. The Snake's small mind thought him as a good prey. Not only had this snake, the other four remaining snakes beside it also thought in the same way.
Immediately the first snake moved, but it was blocked by the second and third snake. Every other monster wants to consume the prey for itself.
…
On the other hand, Outside the Star Tower when Zack cleared the ninth floor.
The corresponding changes also take place in the leaderboard.
[Leaderboard Ranking]
[Name, Place – Floor - Clearance Time – Rank]
[Zack Lockwood, Hansen Campus – 9th – 10S –1st]
Seeing the leaderboard update again, everyone from outside stood speechless again.
"Hey, is it an artefact or what? It's very hard to believe someone can do this with their own strength" A person from Second batch broke out in cold sweat.
Hearing that there is only a drop of silence remained.
At this time, someone said, "If it is an artefact then it must be high end. Even though it's a high end, it needs a huge essence to operate. It can only be operated by strong"
When he said, a realization dawned upon everyone. They immediately strike out the possibility of Zack being weak. It can be only said that Zack is strong, but they don't know how strong he is.
On the other hand, The officials from Star Tower begin to remind those people who exited from Star Tower, to not to reveal the content of the test.
After reminding them, those students begin to disperse. The official is not worried about leaking of the content. Some people did not even clear the fifth floor. So, it lacks value. On the other hand, they can't leave the city until the end of the event.
Once they leave this area, people from Star Tower will begin to monitor them. So, there won't be any situation at all. Even if there is one, people will clear it out completely.
After instructing them his eyes eventually fell on the leaderboard ranking. Seeing the clearance time of the 9th floor a hint of surprise flashes in his eyes. In his opinion clearing level ten is no big deal. He has seen it many times, it was done by many talented Warriors from reputable organizations in previous years.
But to have this record by an unknown person from a small organization. It really surprised him. This is a great achievement for this person who may be recruited by large forces after this event. After done pondering, he set his eyes on remaining warriors. Right now, People beginning to exit from the Star Tower. It only states that their strength or skill is not up to par.
At the same time, inside the meeting hall.
Everyone is discussing the current hot topic, which is about Zack. When he cleared the 9th floor, People broke out in loud exclamations. Which eventually disturbs the concentration of the Crimson Hall Team.
On the other hand, Ella and Sallie smiled helplessly viewing the current ranking. Before one of them could comment, the loud exclamation broke the concentration of their teammates.
"What's wrong with these people?" Robb said with a dissatisfied tone as he opened his eyes.
Simultaneously,
Bradley, Darius and Austin opened their eyes one by one.
Austin said slowly, "What happened? Is it our turn now" For a moment he forgot the time.
Bradley and Darius didn't say anything but they looked around to see the commotion.
Suddenly, they heard that Zack's name was being discussed by the people. Robb too notices that he turned towards Sallie and asked, "Sallie, What is going on here?" He thought these two people might know something.
"See the Leaderboard Ranking for yourself" Hearing what Sallie said without change in her face.
Hearing her words, the rest of the team turned their eyes toward the leader's board ranking.
"Oh my goodness!" Bradley stood from his seat in disbelief.
Even dissatisfied Darius stunned for a moment. "Is this real?" He was taken back.
Austin then remembers the current time, he gulped down the saliva in shock. The only comment he made his mind that, "He couldn't do that"
"How did he do that?" Robb finally uttered in a low tone.
Seeing the various reactions of their teammates, Ella and Sallie couldn't help but smile wryly.
Then Sallie commented, "When we saw first, we reacted the same way"
