Tower Ascension - Chapter 74

After talking with the chairman, he walked away with his sister and Camellia. Since other places weren’t safe, they decided to stay inside the Council’s headquarter. They had also transferred his mom and dad to this place since it was a lot safer.

After that, Peter took care of Anne until she wakes up. They had to transfer blood in her body. After that, he spends another day taking care of her. During this time, Peter regretted killing Morgan before curing his parents.

He knew he messed up but he wasn’t frightened. He still had the support from the tower. So long he does everything correctly, he can heal his parents soon. After spending some time with his sister and Camellia, he entered the Tower.

Now, his goal was to get stronger at a faster rate. Currently, Divine Rank was a great threat to humanity. And, it’s not like he must save humanity. But, if he can’t save his family then everything is simply a waste for him.

And, if he can save his family, then there is no problem saving the world. But, of course, there is a limit to the people he can save. After he left the Council Headquarter, he directly head to the second floor. During this time, almost a week had passed.

And, fortunately, he had cleared his normal quests. So, he only had to wait until others are ready to face the second-floor dungeon. And, he was even more curious about the challenges in the dungeon.

But, it took a while for them to get stronger. To be precise, it took them three months to reach the twenty-fifth level and it also took Peter the exact time. Because he couldn’t find the opponents to kill. He had to search around, again and again, fighting them and killing them.

Of course, he still didn’t reach the twenty-fifth level.

And now, he found a certain change in the system. He gets EXP based on their levels. One EXP seems to be equal to one level and twenty-five EXP for the twenty-fifth level being. And, there was one advantage to this, the upper limit of EXP only increases by a hundred or at least, until the twenty-fifth level, it does improve like this.

During this month, he spends most of his time honing his skill, training John, and spending his remaining time with Camellia and Anne. After she recovered, Peter personally trained Anne as well. He taught her swordsmanship, fire mana, and internal energy.

He didn’t teach her Spirit Powers. Even his own Spirit Powers were quite low. During this time, he finally opened his secret to Camellia. He taught her mana and internal energy and he also taught her spirit powers.

Although he knew it would be hard to get it, he found the spirit powers actually amplify her psychic powers. This significantly changed her powers to the point where Peter basically hunted dozens of dozens of monsters and keep bringing them to her.

Since he needs to do everything fast, he killed those monsters at once and brought them to the council’s headquarter. During this month, his company made a skyrocket profit. Not only did it earn enough to make him a billionaire but also helped him buy more shares of the council.

And, he also started focusing manpower to create Healing Potions. Normally, Healing Potion not only required mana crystals but also the brain. Because, without analyzing its properties properly, it couldn’t be replicated.

Of course, this was done in the dark since he doesn’t want Council to find out so soon. His mana crystals were supplied in the dark as well. He didn’t want them to know about the existence of mana crystals. They know Peter had something that made these potions possible but he didn’t want them to know what it really is.

It was one month outside and three months inside but it was very progressive on both sides. After three months, all of them finally decided to enter the dungeon. This time, the dungeon was quite different. It was in the sky.

They had to take a bubble lift to the island. It was quite fun and more importantly. On the floating island, there was a massive grassland and few trees just like below but there was a certain difference. But, this difference, they didn’t know.

Peter and others stood in the middle of the island. Before they do anything, Peter glanced at his status. He still had a chance to retreat now, so he just did what he does every time before entering the dungeon.

Because they had to walk to the middle of the island to activate the dungeon. This was currently a normal floating island though normal won’t be an exact word to describe a floating island.

Looking at his stat points, Peter couldn’t help but sigh. Would he win if he fights against them Supreme now after spending his stat points? No, he doesn’t think he is still on the level of Supreme.

He can barely defeat Half-Supreme. Without the buff from Dying Divine Breath, he would’ve a hard time killing Half-Supreme. Of course, he wasn’t worried too much. After crossing this floor, he will get another chance to reach closer to Supreme Rank.

He was excited. After he calmed down, he glanced at the other four and asked “Are you guys ready?”

Everyone nodded their head except for John. He wasn’t ready yet. Although his mana level had reached twenty-fifth, his strength was still lower than others. Of course, the most powerful except Peter was now Alice.

Even Zhao Ming couldn’t defeat her. She was able to control mana as if it was her toy. She was able to even snatch mana from others if they lose slight control over it. This was an amazing power and it was related to her physique.

Wizard King Body!

It seems Zhao Ming had made mistake. Because when they studied about Wizard King Body from the old man’s books, they found Wizard King Body wasn’t that great. It did give people the advantage over the mana but it wasn’t this great.

The old man knew about her physique but even he didn’t tell them anything. It seemed like her physique was either taboo or something that they couldn’t comprehend now. But, the more she trains, the more ridiculous her mana controls get.

According to the Fire Dragon Skill, he needs to get Great Fire Dragon Skill to evolve it. But, Alice didn’t need it. Hell, she didn’t even need Fire Dragon Skill. She basically evolved Burning Sun Skill to something that was even more powerful than the Fire Dragon Skill, probably the Great Fire Dragon Skill on her own.

And, here comes a problem. She couldn’t explain how she did that. In short, she was doing everything without knowing anything. But, it was understandable considering she was controlling mana with her reflexes rather than her mind.

Peter even suspected her to be the reincarnation. But no matter what, her attitude towards Peter didn’t change. And, that’s all he needs. Although Zhao Ming couldn’t defeat her, she couldn’t defeat Zhao Ming either.

His spearmanship was improving just like his swordsmanship. They even taught each other many things. Zhao Ming taught him to keep his mind and heart calm and this is why he was able to improve his Advance Sword Skill to True Sword Skill.

After calming his mind and heart, he was able to condense a certain thing known as Sword Heart. It was simply an illusionary heart created out of Sword Belief. Spearman also had Spear Heart and they create it out of Spear Belief.

This was taught by Zhao Ming. This time he didn’t need to ask True Sword Skill from the old man. Rather, he just had to comprehend Sword Heart and then evolve his Advance Sword Skill to True Sword Skill.

He found one basic function of skill given by the system. Although there are certain shortcuts like how he got Advance Sword Skill and evolve his Basic Sword Skill to create Sword Energy, there is another path that doesn’t require shortcuts.

He could basically comprehend the higher realm on his own and evolve his skill. This thing also applies to Iron Body. That skill basically improved to level twenty-one without needing any shortcuts. And, that added forty points to his strength, stamina, and vitality.

Originally, his strength was supposed to be 211 while his stamina and vitality were supposed to remain at 146 but they were 251 and 186. His Iron Body basically gave him an immense improvement. But, he found he still couldn’t defeat Supreme even if he uses all of his stat points.

That’s how strong the Supreme really is. That’s why he must accomplish this dungeon. At this moment, they reached the middle of the island and a virtual panel appeared.
