Chapter 866: Chapter 382: How to Pass the Trial

"Leg Technique?"

Xu Ran mumbled, somewhat puzzled.

Leg Technique, in his opinion, wasn’t very important. After all, he had the [Wind Control Skill], relying on sensing the direction of the wind to travel swiftly.

What about the Leg Technique?!

It relies on tempering the legs to possess extremely strong explosiveness, but his Fist Technique had just achieved Great Success, and the improvement in speed from the Leg Technique wasn’t significant either.

So, he didn’t expect that this trial would be about Leg Technique.

"What? You don’t like it?"

The Bald-Head, seeing Xu Ran’s expression, ridiculed.

"I don’t care, but if your Leg Technique doesn’t improve, you’ll fall off the wooden stake in less than a stick of incense time!"

"Your current body, except for the legs, other parts are still sealed. Although you now have the Great Success [Innate Saint’s Sacred Body], once you fall, you’ll be completely melted by the lava below, leaving no corpse!"

The Bald-Head wasn’t just alarmist with his words.

Xu Ran was the first person to reach this level, so the requirements were naturally extremely high.

Since the Bald-Head mentioned leaving no corpse, it might really be possible.

The senior brother and younger sister observing Xu Ran’s trial were visibly shaken when hearing the Bald-Head’s words.

"Didn’t they say that even failing in the Nine-Layered Giant Tower trial wouldn’t result in death?"

"Why does the Gatekeeper now say that failure means leaving no corpse? Could it be that he’s just trying to scare him?"

The little junior sister looked completely incredulous.

After all, whenever they underwent a trial, they would be resurrected even if they died during the trial level.

It wasn’t just her.

The senior brother, second senior brother, and she, the three of them, could be said to have witnessed the process of all trial participants. They also saw them being killed by the Gatekeeper during the trial and then resurrected.

Without exception!

"Hard to say!" The second senior brother’s voice sounded, "After all, no one has experienced this level’s trial before, maybe once you pass through the intangible Puppet level, for subsequent levels, if there’s real death, then it’s true death!"

The second senior brother wasn’t sure either.

In previous trials, the Gatekeeper wouldn’t communicate with them, so they hadn’t heard about this from the Gatekeeper.

However, after the trial ended, even if they died in the level, they would be resurrected the next moment, and everyone agreed on this point.

But....

The sudden words from the Gatekeeper left them a bit at a loss.

If Xu Ran were to fail in this trial level,

the Nine-Layered Giant Tower would lose a talent with such high potential, which would be a huge blow for the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.

The three of them knew more or less about the significance of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower’s existence.

"This Bald-Head is telling the truth!"

Among the three, the one most familiar with the Nine-Layered Giant Tower was the senior brother.

He had learned too many secrets from the library of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, among the three of them, he knew the most.

"A trialist who dies in this level will really die!"

The senior brother took a deep breath and said.

"Those who enter this level are no longer merely disciples of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower; they bear a greater mission!"

"Since they bear a mission, they need to have enough power!"

Saying this, he glanced at the Bald-Head.

"The trial in this level, although called a trial, is actually a one-on-one master guidance, meant to push the trialist’s all-around abilities to their peak!"

"Therefore, in this trial, it will exhaust all potential of the trialist!"

"In that case, no retreat will be given to the trialist, there’s only one path, which is to clear the level!"

The second senior brother and the little junior sister were stunned.

Unexpectedly, trialists reaching this level held such importance.

They thought the Nine-Layered Giant Tower was just a simple testing ground.

"Alright!"

The senior brother’s voice snapped them back to reality.

"These matters are beyond your current thoughts. If you want to know more specific details, then focus on improving your strength!"

Speaking, the senior brother looked at the second senior brother.

"Although we haven’t entered the level, even observing is a huge benefit for us."

"Especially for you, mastering Physical Strength and cultivating your body’s strength will greatly aid you!"

Having said that, he then turned to the little junior sister.

"And you, with such high talent in Spiritual Power, but you’re too lazy. Otherwise, you might have been touching the border of Great Power by now!"

"Perhaps it won’t be long before you can prove the way with Spiritual Power!"

The senior brother’s tone, for once, was heavy with the guidance of a teacher, differing from his usual coldness.

Over such a long period, the time spent together was significant.

Even a cold stone would develop feelings.

Moreover, now that Xu Ran appeared, the senior brother felt a significant reduction in pressure, and his inner burdens were lessened as well.

His heart was also opened somewhat, so he spoke out to advise and guide the two.

The two fell silent at these words.

The little junior sister played idly with her fingers and looked down, saying nothing.

The second senior brother focused his gaze on Xu Ran and the Bald-Head during the trial, clenching his fists.

...

Swoosh---

Standing on the wooden stake, Xu Ran suddenly experienced a burst of flames erupting beneath his feet, like a Fire Dragon, shooting straight toward him.
