Chapter 31 (1/2)

White clouds stretched high in the sky, and the ivory towers crossed between heaven and Earth. As the height gradually increased, the horizon showed a curved line.

The air became thin, and the temperature began to drop.

Muyang had climbed upwards for ten kilometers with a single drum, before hugging a bulge on the surface of Korin Tower to rest.

These outward bulges, located every seven or eight meters. They were like a resting point for the challenger, even when not all challengers were strong enough to lend to these bulges.

“I wondered how this Korin Tower was built, and I can’t believe I haven’t reached the top yet.”

When Muyang looked upward, the unseen Korin Tower disappeared into the vast sky as the surrounding area had begun to enter the troposphere.

Normally, the oxygen here should be very thin, and Muyang discovered that the oxygen concentration was indeed dropping. However, unexpectedly, it was enough to maintain the minimum requirements of life.

“Let’s keep going!”

After about ten minutes of rest, Muyang gathered his strength and continued to climb towards higher ground.

During the challenge of Korin Tower, Muyang didn’t use the Dancing Sky Art Technique at all because the point of climbing Korin Tower was to exercise physical tolerance.

Legend had it that there was miraculous spring water on top of the Korin Tower called Sacred Water, which would increase the strength of the body with just one sip.

However, this water was actually just ordinary spring water. What really increased the strength was the entire process of challenging the Korin Tower.

Even the Ultra Divine Water, which truly possesses the effect of unlocking potential, would still be a gamble of life. The Ultra Divine Water was extremely poisonous, so if you weren’t careful, you would be poisoned to death and actually meet King Yama.

Of course, when it came to the Ultra Divine Water, it had to be said that Muyang had some doubts. In the original story, Son Goku’s strength increased dramatically after drinking the Ultra Divine Water.

However, whether it was really the Ultra Divine Water that played the role or because the dying Son Goku had activated the Saiyan’s bloodline, it was impossible to know.

However, Muyang knew that without the addition of the bloodline, there was no shortcut to practice. Every step had to be practical.

At this point, Muyang stopped and continued to climb the Korin Tower by walking; he had spent three days here. He saw that the dry supplies on his body were about to run out.

Yet, when he lifted his head, he still couldn’t see the top of the tower. Muyang realized that this process was very torturous. If he wasn’t mentally strong enough, he would have given up a long time ago.

“At the beginning of the story, it took Son Goku a whole day to climb Korin Tower. I’m not as strong as him, so it must have taken me longer, but I guess I’m almost there.”

Muyang grabbed a bulge and thought in his heart. He then used his belt to bind a temporary sheath and munched a steamed bun hastily, before putting away the sheath and continuing to climb. Using a certain safety device to stop for a break wasn’t considered a foul.

After another night, just as Muyang was about to run out of supplies, and even nearly fell off the Korin Tower several times. He finally saw a flat ball-shaped shadow that appeared in the blurred vision.

That was the top of the Korin Tower. It took him four days to finally reached the top.

……….

The sun had just risen, staining the surrounding clouds and the sacredness of Korin Tower. Muyang’s spirits perked up, and he sped upwards to go through one of the four entrances at the bottom of the tower.

“Finally, I managed to climb up!” Muyang was exhausted. He was panting and finally collapsed from exhaustion after climbing up Korin Tower.
