Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: How Should I Explain to Nezha?

Mu Qianshan frowned as he looked at Ji Bin, but he had no intention of speaking.

He wasn't good with words, and seeing that Jiang Yuan had been inside for such a long time without coming out, it seemed that progress was probably good.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan had mentioned to him about his combat ability.

He still believed in Jiang Yuan.

Compared to Ji Bin's clownish behavior at this moment, he was more looking forward to Jiang Yuan's growth.

He was really looking forward to it!

If Jiang Yuan could break through the tenth floor.

Mu Qianshan did not speak, and after Ji Bin mocked for a while, he also felt bored.

There was no point in mocking when the main subject was not present.

However, Ji Bin did not continue but also did not leave, instead, waiting here for Jiang Yuan to come out.

"With his strength, it won't take long."

Ji Bin was full of confidence, but Jiang Yuan, who was in the Dream Tower, was unaware of what was happening outside.

He had now reached the fifteenth floor.

The Dream Tower has a major Boss every ten floors, and a minor Boss every five floors.

Now, they were facing a minor Boss.

The minor Boss of the fifth floor was an early-stage Xingji wild boar, which Nezha easily killed with one punch.

So,Jiang Yuan didn't pay much attention and just continued to the next level.

But the fifteenth floor's minor Boss was a bit troublesome.

Mechanical Clan!

Even though it was just a Mechanical Clan tank, it was still not easy to handle.

The characteristic of the Mechanical Clan is their balance.

Additionally, with decent combat intelligence, it's generally tough to deal with when the strength is similar.

If the Beastman Clan relied on their combat instincts and could go head-on, fighting the Mechanical Clan required caution against their sudden unpredictable moves.

Just like now, have you ever seen a tank suddenly extend a hammer from the top?

The hammer slammed down, smashing Nezha into pieces.

Nezha was also stunned for a moment, already frustrated by the tank's frontal assault and the close-range cannon.

An unexpected ambush?

Nezha was displeased.

The opponent was in trouble.

After the [Three-Headed Six-Armed] appeared, Nezha directly started dismantling the tank in front of him.

"Heh, inferior machinery!"

Holding the thick cannon barrel in hand, Nezha looked disdainfully.

These creatures from the Mechanical Clan, which haven't even developed their own consciousness, are more the products created by the Mechanical Clan rather than the clan itself.

For Nezha, such a product was indeed something he could dismantle on a whim.

But this was also due to Jiang Yuan.

Overcoming the fifteen floors of the tower, Nezha faced many different races.

What were these?

Were they not combat experience?

Thus, Jiang Yuan asked Nezha to, when confident, try not to use full force to resolve the fights immediately.

Since it was a trial, naturally, it was important to learn more about the opponent.

The opponents in the Dream Tower all exist in the real world.

Such trial opportunities are rare.

He had received nine years of compulsory education, but Nezha hadn't.

Many opponents were completely unknown to him.

So, Jiang Yuan took this opportunity to explain to Nezha while letting Nezha try things by himself.

As long as it was within Nezha's capability, they could take it slow.

"The Mechanical Clan isn't much, huh!"

Nezha, carrying the cannon barrel, excitedly approached Jiang Yuan.

However, before he could even show off his spoils of war, the cannon barrel disappeared because they had cleared the level.

"Tch, boring."

Looking at his now empty shoulders, Nezha frowned in displeasure.

"Alright, there are more opponents to come."

Jiang Yuan smiled and patted Nezha's shoulder to comfort him.

He had just told Nezha that the Dream Tower had a total of three hundred and sixty floors, with each floor's opponent being stronger than the last.

Because of this, Nezha's fighting spirit reignited, constantly urging Jiang Yuan to continue challenging.

Jiang Yuan didn't see any problems either.

His Star Power and Physical Strength would recover after every successful level completion.

Not just him, Nezha would experience the same.

So as long as they keep winning, they can continue competing.

"Continue!"

After choosing their spoils of victory, the two challenged once again.

...

"So long and still no sign of them?"

At this moment, Mu Qianshan also furrowed his brows.

He checked the time; it had already been almost half an hour.

How long did it take him to get through ten levels of the Dream Tower originally?

About forty-five minutes, right?

But back then, he was only at the early stages of Xingji.

If Jiang Yuan really is at the Mid-stage Xingji level now, he should have passed levels twelve or thirteen by now, right?

Thinking of this, Mu Qianshan's brows relaxed a little, feeling somewhat pleased.

"They haven't come out yet, are you sure you saw Jiang Yuan go in?"

Mu Qianshan could remain patient, but Ji Bin couldn't.

After just waiting a few more minutes, Ji Bin already showed obvious impatience.

"I'm certain, Jiang Yuan definitely went in with Mu Qianshan!" One of the henchmen quickly swore.

"Then why hasn't he come out yet? With his condition, are you telling me he's still continuously passing levels?"

The impatience on Ji Bin's face became more evident as he angrily pointed at the entrance of the Dream Tower.

He knew the physical condition of Jiang Yuan.

He was not good academically, but strong in combat.

Jiang Yuan was not strong in combat, but good at academics.

In his mind, Jiang Yuan should be following him, and he'd protect Jiang Yuan.

Of course, Jiang Yuan would have to help him a bit during exams.

But Jiang Yuan actually refused him!?

How dare you!

To actually refuse me!

"Screw this, I'm not waiting anymore!"

Ji Bin was unhappy, threw up his hand, and was about to leave, but was held back by his henchman.

"Bro Ji, he's out!"

"Hmm?"

Ji Bin turned his head and saw Jiang Yuan with a somewhat awkward expression.

Jiang Yuan indeed felt awkward.

The opponent on the twentieth level was actually easy to defeat.

However, Jiang Yuan didn't expect that the twentieth level's opponent would be an assassin from the Insect Race.

It was someone who could have been easily eliminated with just one fireball from Nezha.

Yet, due to Jiang Yuan's negligence, not using the Linglong Tower to protect himself in time, he was ambushed and killed.

With Jiang Yuan dead, naturally, the challenge failed, and he was sent out of the Dream Tower.

Jiang Yuan felt not only awkward but also a bit of a headache.

How should he explain this to Nezha?

Remembering Nezha's shocked expression when he was attacked made Jiang Yuan unsure of what to do.

Really, next time, no matter the situation, once a battle starts or there's danger, he must immediately use the Linglong Tower to protect himself!

He can't be as careless as he was today.

It was only because the previous levels went too smoothly and were too easy that he became so negligent.

He cannot be this way in the future!

"You finally came out, kid!"

Ji Bin laughed heartily and charged towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan was still pondering how to explain to Nezha when he saw Ji Bin.

"Why are you here?"

"Why am I here? I heard you were challenging the tower here, just wanted to check on you."

Ji Bin laughed joyfully: "Don't tell me you couldn't even pass the first level?"
