Impossible to Beat

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 expected 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.
