Chapter 261: Impossible to Beat (1/2)

Shui Zi watched as the sea of magical beasts quickly closed their distance, and once they were only half a mile away, Shui Zi could no longer keep calm and shouted, ”I give up! I give up! Get me out of here!”

The Great One coldly snorted after seeing Shui Zi surrender the challenge, ”Not even going to attempt the challenge? You're a much bigger coward than I'd anticipated. Get lost. You do not qualify to even be in my presence!”

The Great One's eyes flickered with a golden light, and before Shui Zi realized it, he was back on the first floor of the tower.

Meanwhile, outside the tower, Long Yijun and the other Sect Masters just witnessed the lights on all 99 floors turn off, signaling Shui Zi's failure.

”What?!”

The Sect Masters there were speechless by this, as they'd truly expedited Shui Zi to defeat the tower.

A few moments later, Shui Zi left the tower with a dazed look on his face, looking empty, almost like he was dead inside.

”Shui Zi! What happened in there?! You were so close!” His Sect Master quickly approached him.

”I… I… can't do it. No human being can pass the 100th floor. It's impossible.” Shui Zi responded in a voice of disbelief.

The Sect Masters there immediately frowned, and one of them asked, ”What do you mean by that? What was on the 100th floor?”

”It… It was a dragon— a real dragon. I had to defeat a dragon.” Shui Zi spoke, and his body trembled upon recalling the Great One's intimidating aura.

”What! A dragon?! Don't tell me you had to fight this dragon!” The Sect Masters there were shocked.

Even Long Yijun and the high-ranking sect elders were surprised by this since they didn't hear anything about a dragon from Yuan!

Shui Zi nodded and said, ”It was a golden dragon, and it had the cultivation of a Spirit Master.”

After taking a deep breath, he continued, ”However, that's not even the worst part, since there was another challenge on the 100th floor, which involves defeating 100,000 Spirit Warrior magical beasts with only 24 hours to rest.”

”100,000 Spirit Warrior magical beasts?! How is that even possible?!” The Sect Masters there repeated in a shocked voice, their expressions filled with disbelief. Even if they challenged this tower themselves, they would not dare to claim that they can defeat 100,000 magical beasts.

Shui Zi nodded again and said, ”Furthermore, the dragon claimed that someone had managed to clear that challenge by defeating all 100,000 magical beasts.”

'That's the challenge Disciple Yuan told us about…' Elder Xuan thought to himself after hearing Shui Zi's words.

At that moment, the Sect Masters there turned to look at Long Yijun who was casually sitting there with a smug look on his face.

”What are you looking at? You still have two more disciples. Hurry up, the Mystic Realm is coming up and I need to finish preparing for that.” Long Yijun said to them.
