Chapter 165: Sealing Talent?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meanwhile, outside the Heaven-reaching Tower.
Yan Zhantian looked at Mo Xiao’s performance in front of him and frowned slightly, “Old Yao, have you discovered the problem?”
“Mm…” Yao Shi’er nodded. “The Heaven-reaching Tower doesn’t seem to have sealed his talent.”
“I should have reminded this kid earlier. Now that the Heaven-reaching Tower has detected him, by the time he reaches the second floor, all his talents used to enhance his combat abilities will be sealed.” Yanzhan Tian sighed with some helplessness.
Yao Shi’er smiled and said, “Didn’t we want to see his true abilities? His talents need to be sealed for us to find out.”
“Instead of his true abilities, I’d rather see him clear the entire
Heaven-reaching Tower,” Yan Zhantian said with a smile.
Hearing this, Yao Shier couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “He’s just a kid. Do you really expect him to clear the entire Heaven-reaching Tower in one go?”
“Heh, you’re right,” Yan Zhantian chuckled and looked at Mo Xiao on the screen. He said, “Now that the first floor was so easy, the second floor is going to be much more challenging. What do you think he’ll do next?”
Inside the Heaven-reaching Tower, Mo Xiao was jumping and dodging amidst a group of Wild Bulls.
He felt quite relaxed.
[You killed a Wild Bull! Current progress: 23/30]
[You killed a Wild Bull! Current progress: 27/30]
[You killed a Wild Bull! Current progress: 30/30]
[Congratulations on killing 30 bulls. Mission accomplished!]
As Mo Xiao stabbed the last Wild Bull with his sword, the system notification sounded throughout the entire space.
“That’s it? It seems the Heaven-reaching Tower isn’t that difficult,” Mo Xiao said nonchalantly.
[Ding, detecting special combat talents, adjusting…]
[Ding, adjustment complete! Your talents, the Power of the Fire God, the Strength to Move Mountains, Tough Skin, Heart of the Death God, Source of Magic Power, and Heart of the Wood Spirit, have all been sealed!]
“Damn! Are you kidding me? They sealed my talents too!”
Mo Xiao nearly jumped up as he read the system notifications.
[Answer: Your combat talents significantly affected the fairness of the Heaven-reaching Tower, so they were sealed. If you have objections, you can clear the Heaven-reaching Tower first to modify its rules.]
“Argh!” Mo Xiao cursed upon hearing this.
Having his talents sealed meant that his combat power would drop by several levels.
He was no different from an ordinary person.
Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and stood in place, looking at the illusionary space with a fierce expression. He asked, “I don’t have to start over from the first floor, right?”
[Answer: It was a system error earlier, so it won’t affect your progress in the tower. You can choose to continue or exit the Heaven-reaching Tower.]
As the system’s voice sounded, a staircase appeared on the ground not far away, along with a brightly lit door.
Obviously, the staircase led upward, while the door allowed him to leave.
Mo Xiao took a deep breath and without hesitation, walked up the stairs.
[Congratulations on reaching the second floor of the Heaven-reaching Tower! Please prepare yourself!]
[Level 2 assessment mission: Kill 59 Wild Bulls and one Wild Bull Elite!]
[You have five seconds to prepare!]
Hearing this, Mo Xiao frowned again.
59 bulls and one elite monster.
Clearly, the difficulty of the second floor lay in the quantity. There was only one more powerful monster.
Although his talents were sealed, Mo Xiao had learned the attack patterns of the Wild Bulls from the previous floor.
With some caution, he shouldn’t have too much trouble, except for the Elite.
“But after clearing this level, I’ll need a bit of rest. 1 didn’t expect a new challenge to begin immediately upon entering the second floor,” Mo Xiao muttered to himself, calmly waiting.
[5, 4, 3, 2,1! The assessment begins!]
Another familiar system notification sounded.
However, this time, it was different from the previous level.
All around Mo Xiao, bulls appeared at the same time.
Moreover, 60 bulls rushed over from different directions at the same time, as if they were surrounding Mo Xiao.
In the distance, a larger Wild Bull, a Wild Bull Elite, stood motionless, seemingly intelligent, and stared at Mo Xiao with intensity.
[Wild Bull • Elite]
HP: 9,000/9,000
Level: LV20
Strength: 500
Agility: 150
Spirit: 30
Endurance: 80
Physique: 80
Skills:
Rampaging Charge (Charges at the target at three times the speed with a 70% chance to stun the target)
Horn of Armor Break (Passive skill, a 70% chance to ignore all target’s armor)
Giant Horn Strike (Strikes the target with a massive horn, causing massive damage)
Roaring Thunder (Lets out a deafening roar, causing damage to surrounding enemies and reducing their attack power)
Wild Bull Rage (Enters a rage state, increasing its attack power and speed for 10 seconds)
Petrifying Gaze (Stares at the target with a 50% chance to petrify it, rendering it unable to move)
“Both the attributes and skills have leveled up…”
Mo Xiao’s expression turned serious as he looked at the panel in front of him.
He realized that not only had the Wild Bulls become stronger, but he had also become weaker.
According to the theory of relativity in the canyon, it was equivalent to this bull being strengthened twice!
Just as Mo Xiao was contemplating, the first Wild Bull had already reached him.
Mo Xiao shifted his body, and the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella transformed into two giant swords, slashing directly at the bull.
-795
-795
Mo Xiao’s two strikes only dealt around 1500 damage, not even enough to deplete the health of a regular Wild Bull.
Mo Xiao’s expression grew more solemn. He switched the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella in his hand once again, turning it into two massive shields, which he swung in front of him.
Immediately, it rubbed against two Wild Bulls, spinning them in between.
While flying would be the best way to deal with the Wild Bulls on the ground, Mo Xiao’s magic power was limited, and he wasn’t sure if he could handle this many bulls in the air in a short amount of time.
So he decided not to take the risk.
“Dragon Language, Sea of Fire!”
Mo Xiao looked around, and the Thousand Mechanism Umbrella transformed into two staffs in his hands.
In the next moment, a blue sea of fire erupted from him, spreading in all directions.
Almost instantly, an area of a hundred meters in diameter turned into a blue sea of flames.
Numerous bulls immediately wailed in agony in the sea of fire.
“Earth Control Power!”
Mo Xiao quickly activated his Earth Control Power, and countless clumps of soil wrapped around the Wild Bulls like a spider web, rendering them completely immobile.
They roasted in the sea of fire.
Seeing this scene, Mo Xiao smiled with satisfaction. Just as he was planning to deal with the remaining bulls at his own pace, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed, and in an instant, more than half of the surrounding flames were extinguished..
