Chapter 138 - Carp Leaping Over Dragon’s Gate Tower (1/2)

After talking to Feng Yuxiang and Xiao Hua for a few more minutes, they returned to their own 'home' while Yuan prepared to leave the house once again to explore the sect.

However, before Yuan could even take a dozen steps out of his house, a familiar voice resounded, ”Where are you going?”

Yuan turned around to see Min Li standing by the door with slightly dark eyes, almost like she didn't get enough sleep last night or something.

”I am going to the 'Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower',” Yuan responded with a super long name.

”Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower?!” Min Li looked at him with widened eyes.

The Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower is a unique place in the sect where disciples go to test their skills and challenge their limits by fighting powerful beasts, and the faster one defeats the beasts the higher score they will obtain. The place is so popular and important to the sect and disciples that there is even a ranking just for it, allowing the disciples to compete with each other for the top ranks.

However, because of its difficulties, only those who have been in the sect for over a year would dare to challenge it unless they were talented geniuses from powerful families such as Min Li.

But even someone like Min Li wouldn't challenge the Carp Leaping Over Dragon's Gate Tower so quickly and without any preparations.

'This guy… It's only his second day as a disciple and he's already challenging that place?! Just how much is he trying to show off his talents?!' Min Li cried inwardly.

When she saw Yuan walking away a moment later, she quickly said, ”W-Wait a moment! I am coming too!”

Yuan raised his eyebrows. Why is she following him again? But since he didn't have an issue with it nor a reason to shoo her away, he didn't say anything in the end.

Sometime later, they arrived before an incredibly tall building that almost pierced the clouds; it was so tall that Yuan was able to see it from his building, hence why he'd managed to get to this place without any problems. Furthermore, there were two more of these towers further in the distance, presumably within the Inner Court and the Center of the sect.

There were at least 100 floors in this massive tower, and there was also an incredibly large golden board located next to the entrance with many disciples around it.

”Look! Ming Yong defeated the guardian on the 51st floor and entered the 52nd floor! He has managed to enter the top 200!”

The disciples there shouted with excitement when the name 'Ming Yong' appeared on the bottom of the list on the golden board that had a total of 200 names on it.

Yuan looked up and sure enough, there was a golden light emitting from the windows on the 51st floor.

”If you want to become an Inner Court disciple, you must defeat at least 30 floors. 75 floors if you want to be a Core disciple,” Min Li said to him from behind.

”How does it work?” Yuan asked her without looking back.
