Returning From Level 900

318 A Shocking Change (Part 2)

Sunday, 8:00 a.m.

He had reached the World Tower’s 500th floor.

Three members of the team had never been to such heights before.

They were anticipating the reward of a random transcendent skill.

But they were embarrassed to be the first to draw.

He had no idea why they were being so modest.

Would the first to draw have a good card?

Wang Wen was perplexed and pointed to Cheng Qiaoyi’s hand, allowing her to draw first.

Cheng Qiaoyi was very obedient. She had been very modest, but as soon as she heard Wang Wen’s words, she immediately went to the drone to receive her reward.

[All-Metal Storm: has the ability to summon the iron sky. User can choose a target to attack and bombard it continuously. It lasts one hour and the cooldown period is 24 hours.]

When the skill information was made public…

Wang Wen’s body trembled.

He and Zhu Xingguo looked at each other.

He had a bad premonition in his heart. Would he have gotten a good draw if he had drawn first?

After that…

A scene that left him dumbfounded appeared.

Mo Ran had drawn the following skill.

[Shrink the Earth: the ability to drill into the ground and move to any location within 10 meters. The success rate depends on the difference in hardness between the user’s head and the ground. The cooldown period is 24 hours.]

Chen Hansheng drew the Werewolf Form.

[ Werewolf Form: transforms one into a werewolf. The heart is the fatal spot, with recovery speed increased by 100 percent and immunity to physical damage increased by 50 percent. It lasts one hour, and the cooldown period is 24 hours.]

Wang Wen and Zhu Xingguo looked at each other.

He did not dare to speak.

Mo Ran was still trying to figure out the meaning of the skill.

Chen Hansheng smiled and said, “That’s good! If I’m not wrong, it should be Old Qin’s skill, right? Did this skill return to the skill library when he died? Not only did Qin Dongbei give up his corporation, but he also gave away his superhuman skills.”

Wang Wen looked at him silently and smiled.

He did not make a sound.

Mo Ran’s transcendent skills were a mess.

In Wang Wen’s opinion, Chen Hansheng’s supernatural ability was also trash.

Qin Dongbei had used his werewolf body to show off back then, but only because he had spent countless points to increase his level forcefully.

Chen Hansheng had no idea how much money he would have to burn to reach that level.

Wang Wen had the distinct impression that the World Tower was doing that on purpose!

They purposefully chose fat sheep to be slaughtered for that money-making ability.

Consider it that way…

It was Cheng Qiaoyi, who had drawn first, who had the best luck.

The All-Metal Storm sounded invincible!

Wang Wen and Zhu Xingguo looked at each other and silently waited for the three people to calm down. Then they carefully opened the checkpoint.

He reached the 500th floor.

There was no reason not to go back to see an old friend.

Furthermore, Mo Ran and Chen Hansheng were still discussing their respective superpowers.

He had to divert their attention quickly.

Teleportation to the same level!

The fog around them dispersed, and the five stood in a dilapidated courtyard.

Zhu Xingguo’s eyes lit up, and he said, “Master, this is the courtyard where we fought the snake demon!”

Wang Wen recognized the place.

It was where he met Jue Mingzi.

He had not seen him in a long time, and he missed the young man who had been thoroughly brainwashed.

He carried everyone and remembered the way to the small, clear-sky sect at the top of the mountain.

He had yet to reach the ground.

He noticed that the mountain gate was in disarray.

There was no one there.

Wang Wen’s heart skipped a beat.

He went down to take a closer look.

The once neat and artistic sect was utterly annihilated. There were broken walls everywhere, and the roofs had collapsed.

The building’s second floor, where Jue Mingzi and his master had left Wang Wen, had collapsed the most, almost becoming flat ground.

Zhu Xingguo sold large pieces of construction debris, which revealed a lot of charred charcoal, soil, and other things.

When he did not see anyone, Wang Wen looked around and shook his head.

He led the group down the mountain road to the small stall where they had tea and chicken.

Fortunately, the stalls were still there.

He landed quickly, frightening the stall owner, who was greeting customers, into hiding in his room.

The woodcutter, who was sipping tea at the only table, was unconcerned about the food that had yet to be served. He threw his tea bowl and dashed away.

Zhu Xingguo dashed into the room and summoned the stall owner, “You don’t recall us? I really enjoyed your chicken the last time I ate it. Did you notice that my master left you some gold coins?”

Old Man Xu composed himself, and his turbid eyes gradually became clear. “It’s you?”

He slowly walked out of the house and looked at Wang Wen. He finally saw someone familiar.

“That’s great; you’re still alive!” He exclaimed in joy.

“What happened?” asked Wang Wen as he strode forward. “We went to the top of the mountain to look for the Clear Sky Sect. That place has already been destroyed.”

Old Man Xu put away his happy smile and carefully looked around.

Then he pulled Wang Wen and the others into the house, closed the door, and said softly, “Don’t bother looking for them. They were all captured by the monsters, and we don’t know if they are still alive or dead. Those fierce monsters seem to want something. Jue Mingzi’s sect fought for three days and three nights, but they were still captured. That mountain… tsk, tsk… the sky was red!”

Wang Wen’s brows furrowed. “A demon? Is it someone like the State Preceptor?”

“I don’t dare to say anything.”

Old Man Xu shushed him nervously. “I don’t know the details, but I heard from some minor officials who came up the mountain that some people from the outside world have a mighty magical power that convinced even His Majesty. They even replaced the original State Preceptor!”

“I understand.”

Wang Wen’s lips curled, and he turned to leave.

The four of them looked at him and waited for his conclusion.

Wang Wen took a deep breath.

He looked at the sky and laughed. “How interesting. I’ve only been away for a few days, and it has become like this. It’s because I killed too few last time and was not famous enough!”

Zhu Xingguo asked worriedly, “Master, what should we do? Are we going to save them?”

“Save them?” Wang Wen shook his head. “Kill people! Oh, no, kill demons!”

He lifted everyone with a wave of his hand and headed straight for the Imperial City, following the path the State Preceptor had taken.

He did not take a detour around the Immortal Slaying Platform.

The time it took to fly to the Imperial City was significantly reduced.

In less than an hour, they saw the familiar city wall.

Wang Wen did not greet the familiar guards on the wall. He simply brushed away the arrows that flew at him and charged straight for the palace.

The Imperial Palace had not changed much.

It was still the same bunch of officials who only knew how to talk.

Wang Wen picked up the person who was shouting and dragged him in front of him. “May I ask where His Majesty is? I have something to ask him.”

Before he finished his words…

A group of people walked out of the tallest building. Among them was the Emperor.

The other party glared at Wang Wen and coldly shouted, “You killed my beloved concubine and destroyed my court. Now, you dare to appear in front of me. Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”

Wang Wen let go of the noisy person and looked at the Emperor, asking, “Your Majesty, may I ask where the State Preceptor is?”

The Emperor waved his hand. “Speak no more. The State Preceptor has been waiting for you for many days!”

A few people rose from behind the palace and flew toward Wang Wen as he spoke.

He took a closer look.

There was no progress above their heads.

Wang Wen looked at the drone in confusion.

The other party became even more perplexed.

Chen Hansheng’s words exposed the heavenly secret. “F*ck!” So you guys were hiding in the tower? No wonder we could not find any top teams from the Tenth Consortium!”

Wang Wen was speechless.

The Emperor and the officials were very excited.

He jumped up and down and shouted at the five people, “State Preceptor! Destroy these demonic priests! They should have died a thousand times for their sins! ”

The five people on the opposite side were speechless.

The leader slowly walked out. He looked at the person jumping and shook his head helplessly.

He bowed to Wang Wen and said, “Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen, we left the Tenth Consortium long before the nuclear bomb was launched. We are now homeless. Please spare our lives. We’ll be very grateful!”

The Emperor and his ministers were all speechless.

The people in the tall building below were stunned.

Where did the good show they had been waiting for go? Where did that group of outsiders go?

What about those impressive spiritual spells? What about those dazzling talismans?

Why do they respect the demonic priests more than the Emperor?

The ministers stopped jumping. They all quieted, like obedient quails.

Other skills were not required to become the emperor’s favorite minister, but the ability to observe people was essential!

They quickly determined the strength difference between the enemy and themselves in a thousandth of a second.

They knew that they had lost that match.

They did not dare to continue showing off.

Even the Emperor was very sensible and did not continue to clamor. He looked at the two groups of people in the sky “having a friendly exchange” with an ashen face.

“Why did you guys have to choose this checkpoint when you could not choose any other place to stay?” Chen Hansheng addressed the other party.

The leader on the other side almost cried. He said helplessly, “I just randomly picked one. Who knew that my luck would be so bad? We will retreat immediately and make no move.”

“Wait a minute,” Wang Wen said, shaking his head.

“Little Teacher Wang, do you have any instructions for me?” The leader thought he was too slow as he did not manage to find a drone quickly enough to leave the tower. If he did not hear Wang Wen’s words and counted down instantly, would that be a way out of the tower?
