Chapter 1202 - 1200: Entering the Tower

"This Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower is truly a spiritual artifact between Heaven and Earth, surprisingly it doesn’t require anyone to control it, yet it can offer trials for everyone. This is really rare; this is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing!"

"But don’t underestimate the trials inside, it is said that those who enter it have never emerged, so no one knows what they will encounter inside, it’s better to be cautious!"

"Also, although quite a number of people are here now, most of them are just here to join the fun. But those who really want to enter are all powerful warriors. Have you noticed the person over there holding the long spear?"

Not only did everyone’s gaze fall on that young man, Wang Zhan followed the gaze and looked over as well.

Seeing this, Wang Zhan was taken aback; he couldn’t even discern the background of the opponent or understand what kind of strength the opponent possessed, which made Wang Zhan feel a bit unsettled!

Could it be that the young man in front of him is even more formidable than him?

If the opponent hadn’t used something to hide their power, then there’s only one possibility in this situation: the opponent’s strength is clearly above his, and the gap between them has far surpassed Wang Zhan’s imagination, as Wang Zhan couldn’t even discern the true strength of the Hexagonal Golden Snake!

Meanwhile, Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin exchanged a glance. Evidently, they had also noticed that young man. It must be said that the young man had already become the focus among the crowd. After all, even though he was so young, he possessed such overwhelming strength, which was indeed terrifying!

"Can any of you discern that guy’s strength?" Wang Zhan openly asked.

Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin both shook their heads, evidently they were also unclear about the opponent’s strength.

Wang Zhan frowned slightly and said: "I suppose there must be many like him in the crowd. It seems obtaining the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower won’t be easy this time, and the young man before us might likely become our foremost enemy, truly a troublesome matter..."

"Why don’t we have Hexagonal Golden Snake join us, this could certainly reduce some risks, what do you think?"

Stability is key, and the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower must not encounter any issues. Moreover, now that Wang Zhan’s team is already here, naturally the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower needs to be controlled by him!

But before Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit could speak, mocking laughter interrupted, a man gave Wang Zhan a disdainful look before gradually saying: "You don’t even consider your own strength, do you know who that kid is? That kid is known as Overlord Gun, his strength is terrifying, don’t be fooled by his youth, many here aren’t even his match!"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly, it was the first time he was looked down upon, but the main issue was not the insult or shame, rather the youth’s strength indeed surpasses his own, despite Wang Zhan having systems to enhance his strength exponentially!

Could it be this young man was like him?

Achieving such strength at a young age, if not assisted by a system, surely he has the backing of a large Sect or Clan, or perhaps a prominent Family, as only they could cultivate such an outstanding young talent!

Yet Wang Zhan disregarded the speaking man, clearly not taking him seriously. Wang Zhan had just assessed the man’s strength and found himself substantially superior, thus he need not care!

"Overlord Gun has already arrived here; it seems this time he will become the esteemed candidate for the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. Wanting to snatch it from his hands won’t be easy, I’ve heard of his exploits, he once chased a demonic beast across several regions just to acquire a demon core!"

"I’ve heard of that Overlord Gun Liu Yin too, definitely acknowledged as an expert. Rumor has it he is quite ruthless, his age doesn’t match his means, so perhaps it’s wise for us not to get involved!"

"Don’t worry, I don’t intend to contend for the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, just want to see to whom it will ultimately belong. As a treasure between Heaven and Earth, naturally, I’d like to know who would wield such divine weapons, ensuring not to offend them in the future!"

Many people laughed along; the man’s words resonated with them all, not everyone here is qualified to vie for the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. They all have self-knowledge; even if they wish to contend, they likely lack the strength and will end within the tower forever!

Since prior entrants never returned from the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, it definitely indicates its horror. No one knows what might be encountered inside, so caution is necessary.

Wang Zhan’s gaze landed on Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin, then slowly asked: "Have you heard about Overlord Gun? What’s his background? Why does he have such a reputation? Reaching such strength at this age, won’t he become a formidable figure? If we don’t turn enemies, then it doesn’t matter, but if we did, Tian Pavilion will surely face a formidable adversary!"

Given enough time, Wang Zhan is confident of handling the youth, as his strength continues accelerating. Though he hasn’t wasted time lately, it’s still somewhat slow, but at his age among peers, Wang Zhan is already deemed invincible, leaving them far behind!

Still, Wang Zhan’s first profound sense of defeat is felt, for he had never thought others of similar age would possess equivalent strength, an absolutely frightening notion!

How astonishing must he be!

Beside him, Sword Spirit shook his head, then continued: "You needn’t bother with these concerns, I suspect the youth might leverage some means for his current power, thus isn’t really a threat."

"We just need to focus on our task at hand, as long as we aim for the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, even if we face everyone here, we can still help you get away! Once back inside Tian Pavilion, we can still maneuver with these people, so no need to concern ourselves with them!"

Fire Qilin nodded in agreement with Sword Spirit.

Regardless that everyone is here, what may await them, none shall retreat, this embodies their resolve and belief!

Wang Zhan nodded appreciatively; it was wise to bring both along. Their fearsome strength and fierce determination add valor, assuring Wang Zhan needn’t worry much, only aiming for solid victories is sufficient!

After deciding their course, they ceased discussing Overlord Gun, knowing it was premature. Without friction yet, Wang Zhan needn’t worry. They’ll deal with matters as they arise.

Neither Sword Spirit nor Fire Qilin desires Hexagonal Golden Snake’s presence; its arrival would leave Tian Pavilion completely void, and should Xiao Tianyin appear unexpectedly, regret would be too late!

Thus, unless absolutely necessary, Hexagonal Golden Snake remains Wang Zhan’s ultimate trump card!

In the ensuing days, the team of Wang Zhan and others remained near Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, with more martial experts arriving, many outsiders from various sects. Yet Wang Zhan’s team was unconcerned; once inside the tower, events are uncertain, so patiently waiting is best.

"Looks like the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower’s trial is about to begin!"

"Anyone wishing to enter may do so without conditions, yet besides Overlord Gun and a few experts, none dared to enter. Likely fearing its terrifying reputation, as it’s a dreadful existence from which exiting untouched is unlikely!"

"Isn’t that the truth? Were my strength sufficient, I’d love to test the waters inside Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower during this time. But joking with my life isn’t wise, so best to dismiss such thoughts early!"

Wang Zhan’s team regained their composure; has the trial commenced this soon?

Yet they’ve been prepared all along, thus await anxiously; now that the trial commences, they shall waste no time nor allow others to seize the opportunity. They must promptly enter!

As Wang Zhan’s team prepared to enter together, sudden exclamations arose from behind.

"Do they think entering together increases their chances?"

"Clearly they’re unaware of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower’s situation, this is gambling with their lives!"
