Chapter 10
C10 – Genius
“Wang Shan!”
The Tower Protecting Elder shouted his name.
Wang Shan had been waiting for quite some time.
Yet, when the others heard his name, they couldn’t hide their envy.
It was common knowledge that Wang Shan possessed the Eternal Bloodline, a talent surpassing even that of Zhang Bao.
Everyone was curious to see how many levels Wang Shan could ascend within the Nine-level Tower.
The first level of the tower lit up.
Upon reaching the first level, Wang Shan discovered nothing but a few decrepit cultivation methods.
“How could a Human Rank Cultivation Method possibly befit me?”
Wang Shan had already tested them and found these Human Rank Cultivation Methods unworthy of a System Exchange.
This indicated their utter lack of value to the System.
“It’s odd. The water from the bath could be exchanged for Heaven Rank Cultivation Methods, so why can’t these Human Rank ones?”
Not lingering on the issue, Wang Shan proceeded to the second level.
“I’ve reached the second level without even realizing it, and I feel no pressure whatsoever. Those who got here before me either had nosebleeds or vomited blood. Were they just putting on an act?”
Outside the tower.
The Tower Protecting Elder became anxious when he saw the second level light up, remarking, “He’s got some skills, making it to the second level with such ease.”
As he reflected on this, the third level was illuminated, followed swiftly by the fourth.
Wang Shan had been in the tower for less than five minutes.
In that short time, he had already ascended to the fourth floor!
Only those who had reached the second floor knew the increasing difficulty with each ascent.
Learning that Wang Shan had made it to the fourth floor in just five minutes left them shaking with frustration, realizing the vast gulf between their abilities and his.
Just when everyone assumed Wang Shan had hit his peak, the fifth floor of the Nine-level Tower was illuminated.
The blinding brilliance nearly dazzled everyone.
Unaware of their reactions, Wang Shan remained indifferent to the Earth Rank Cultivation Method. His true aim for entering the tower was the Divine Beast awaiting at the summit.
“Have I mistakenly entered the wrong tower? I encountered absolutely no resistance. Ascending to the fifth floor was as simple as drinking water.”
In reality, the first five floors were bound by the power of a Two-star Expert.
One-star Cultivators naturally couldn’t withstand the force exerted by a Two-star Expert, which is why they suffered from nosebleeds or even coughed up blood.
However, Wang Shan, possessing the strength comparable to a Three-star Expert, easily made his way to the fifth floor.
Upon reaching the sixth floor, Wang Shan felt a slight resistance.
But it was of no consequence; he simply needed to keep moving forward.
“I’ve now reached the seventh floor.”
Wang Shan didn’t find climbing the tower particularly challenging.
The onlookers outside the Nine-level Tower watched in stunned silence as Wang Shan illuminated the seventh floor in one attempt.
What does it mean to be exceptionally gifted?
What does it mean to be extraordinarily intelligent?
The Tower Protecting Elder was astounded.
He had never seen anyone like Wang Shan, who had effortlessly ascended to the seventh floor in one stroke!
He was a true prodigy!
“How much further can Wang Shan go?” The Tower Protecting Elder knew very well that reaching the third floor would have already set a new record, but he yearned to see Wang Shan climb to the very top of the tower, achieving the dream he himself could not realize.
