First Floor

Levi was not interested in observing his surroundings.

His eyes were immediately drawn forward as he saw a golden-furred ape standing with its eyes glaring at him.

It showed its large fangs, as if provoking him.

DING!

(Long Fanged Golden Ape, please be careful as it can kill most cultivators in the same stage!)

The System gave Levi notice when he saw the ape.

"Hmph!" Levi only smiled coldly, then used his fingers to open the suitcase containing the sword in his hand.

Simultaneously, he dripped blood from his fingers onto the sword before it fell.

Buzz!

It instantly emitted a bright shining silver light.

Then the sword moved on its own, rising slightly upwards until the hilt rested in his palm.

It itself wanted to be held by him.

Although the sword had a spirit and was of a class far above him, when it felt the aura of sword power from him, it instantly decided to submit to him, thinking of him as the best place to be.

In fact all swords will think that way so he will be able to control all kinds of swords.

This is the power of the Seven Great Paths. Each path is the pinnacle of its kind.

Whoosh!

Suddenly the ape lunged at him with its golden feathers standing on end.

It instantly pointed its claws at him while its eyes showed a desire to dismember him into a thousand pieces.

From the moment it made its move, Levi noticed a time count on his system's screen.

This seemed to be a time deliberately displayed to calculate how long it would take him to kill the ape.

BANG!

The ape's aura exploded, shaking the air and the trees.

It was only in the first stage if you looked at its cultivation.

However, its combat power was truly far above average.

As its aura came out more, the trees including the tree branch where Levi was standing began to crack.

This kind of strength was something that only fourth stage cultivators possessed.

However, honing combat power at the first stage was indeed easier, which was why not a few managed to pass this challenge.

Unfortunately, the higher the stage, the harder it was to possess above-average combat power.

One second had not passed when the ape arrived in front of Levi.

"Hmm, one second, that's enough to get this done," he said with a cold smile.

The fastest others took ten minutes, but from his point of view it was too long.

If he was the same as them, then his achievements in the real world of cultivation were not worth mentioning at all.

With a leisurely movement, he slashed his sword towards the ape.

His movements seemed slow, yet when observed, from the moment he moved, time seemed to slow down.

The ape that was originally moving like the wind suddenly became like a video slowed down by a hundred times.

Its entire figure can be seen from top to bottom as it can actually be said to be almost motionless.

When it became too slow, Levi's sword easily reached its neck.

Shua!

Suddenly the entire movement accelerated, but all that happened was that the ape's neck was cut.

No, it wasn't just its neck that was cut.

Its head was also cut in half, then its chest, abdomen, legs, even the soles of its feet.

There were seven other cuts besides the neck.

Looking again, this was because Levi's sword created seven sword shadows, each of which also cut into the ape's body in different areas.

With Spiritual and Body Power far above the First Stage coupled with top-notch sword skills and a sword far above his level, his combat power truly reached a ridiculous level.

Exactly one second, and the ape was killed.

DING!

(You successfully killed the Long-Fanged Golden Ape on the first floor of the Strongest Warrior Tower. You gain 100 EXP, you break through to Stage Two. You gain 20 Points that you can use to increase your Spiritual or Body Power due to your breakthrough. You also get 5 Points each for Spiritual and Body Power from the Tower).

DING!

(With your breakthrough to the second stage, your Additional Spiritual and Body Power gain features to increase by 2 times.)

DING!

(You managed to defeat the monster on the first floor of all the Strongest Warrior Towers in just one second. You are rewarded with an SS Class Cultivation Technique.)

Immediately after the ape died, Levi received notice after notice.

The first one and the second one didn't surprise him that much, but the third one was quite impressive to him as the reward was an SS Class Cultivation Technique.

Although it was not important to him, it was still something of great value. On earth, no one had a technique in that class even though cultivating here had special advantages.

Actually, even the S Class Cultivation Technique didn't exist on earth.

It's extremely rare.

In the real cultivation world for example, it was only possessed by top-tier clans.

Levi began to divide the Points he got. He divided them equally into Spiritual and Body Power, 10 Points each.

DING!

(Your stats have been updated!)

[Name: Levi]

[Stage: 2]

[Cultivation Technique: None]

Levi held his chin as he scanned his stats, finally seeing firsthand how this tower would increase one's combat power by giving them an additional 5 Points just for completing the first floor.

That bonus should increase on the second floor and higher.

Shua!

Suddenly, a thin ancient book appeared in his hand, having a cover that was already blurred so that it was difficult to see the image on the cover.

Levi was initially surprised, but quickly realized that it was the book containing the SS Grade Cultivation Technique, his reward.

Since it was like that, he put it into his pants pocket.

It was probably not something he would personally use as he had too many techniques at that level.

At most, he would give the book to Charlotte as a gift since she was willing to give him a lot of money and take care of him.

A moment later, Levi saw his body begin to become transparent.

He seemed to be sent out of this tower soon.

It seemed that there was no feature to go directly to a higher floor.

Perhaps the creators of this tower thought that after defeating monsters in one floor, one would no longer be able to fight in the next floor so they would inevitably have to go out first to recover strength plus strengthen techniques.

When sent out, it only took a moment.

He appeared not far from the gate of the first floor with several other people who looked injured, indicating that they failed.

Buzz!

Suddenly the walls of the first floor shone brightly, surprising everyone.

It became like a white-colored sun whose light spread everywhere.

"What's going on?" The people who had come to this tower for the first time were confused.

Little did they know that the phenomenon did not only occur in this tower.

It also happened in other towers in other cities.

"It's a new record on the first floor," said someone who had seen this phenomenon.

"But usually the light is not this big, why is it so big this time?" Others wondered that this time the phenomenon was different.

"Maybe the record is too far above the current high."

As people spoke, lines of words appeared in the light.

(Levi from Moon City, 1 Second!)

"What, from Moon City?"

"Wait, is that one second?"

Everyone opened their mouths with blank eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.

After that, the light display changed. It suddenly played a video scene that began with the figure of Levi standing on a tree branch, facing off against the Long-Fanged Golden Ape.

The ape suddenly jumped at Levi and Levi slashed his sword at the ape.

In this video, seven shadows of the sword can be seen, cutting the ape in various areas of its body into many pieces.

And then the video was over, lasting only one second.

The light did not show the rebroadcast.

It disappeared after the video was over and Levi's name appeared at the top.
