Tower Ascesion Part 1

Three months had swiftly passed, and the momentous day had arrived. Today marked the culmination of the new students' hard work and preparation as they stood on the precipice of the tower. Unbeknownst to the others, it was also Li Xuehua's 5th birthday, a fact she kept quietly to herself. The 34 children, filled with a mixture of anticipation and nerves, gathered in the admission hall once again. Master Zhou, with his long beard flowing, rose from his seat on the grand chair and addressed the assembly.

"Good morning, everyone. Your diligent efforts and studies will be rewarded today. This is the day of student leveling, where you will each enter the tower one by one. I have decided that the eldest among you will enter first. Each floor of the tower will present you with a formidable monster to face, but fear not, for a teacher will be by your side. Remember, you have the option to give up if the battle becomes too overwhelming. Also, the teacher with you will intervene if they deemed you unsafe to continue. Remember, your safety is of utmost importance," Master Zhou explained, his words resonating with a sense of reassurance.

Master Zhou paused, giving the students an opportunity to ask questions. However, the room remained silent, the collective nervousness preventing any inquiries. With a nod, Master Zhou motioned for them to follow him towards a locked room within the admission hall. As the door swung open, the sight that greeted them was astonishing—an entire tower nestled within the confined space. Gasps of awe filled the air as the students marveled at the tower's presence.

Li Xuehua, with her keen senses, felt a potent surge of magic emanating from the room. Counting the levels of the tower, she discovered it contained a staggering 50 floors. At the pinnacle stood an old man exuding a heavy aura of power. The students trembled in his presence, instinctively falling to their knees, except for Li Xuehua, who maintained her upright stance. The old man's eyes fixed upon the youngest child in the room, Li Xuehua, and a booming laughter erupted from his lips, brimming with excitement.

This old man, Grandmaster Mao, had reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, and Li Xuehua couldn't help but feel a connection to his formidable power. She speculated that he might possess a similar level of strength or perhaps even surpassed her previous life's abilities.
