Tower Ascension - Chapter 80

“How do this even works? I felt like getting punched from behind while you didn’t even move.” John asked while laying down on the ground. His eyes were fixed at Zhao Ming who was standing next to him.

“I can manipulate fate. So, by pulling the red thread which is normally considered a danger, I brought the danger behind you. I didn’t know you would be punched through. I thought you will simply cough out blood since I pull the danger near you.” Zhao Ming explained to him but his words made them dumbfounded.

“Doesn’t that mean you are invincible?” John stared at him and asked.

“No, I don’t think so.” Zhao Ming turned his head at Alice and continued “If you don’t mind, can I test it?”

Alice looked at Alexa. After Alexa nodded her head, Alice puts the trident behind her.

Zhao Ming nodded his head and raised his hands. Three threads of fate appeared on his hand. He held the red thread and took a deep breath. After he calmed himself down, he slightly pulled the thread.

But, nothing happened. He had expected this so the next moment, he pulled the thread with all of his strength.

“Gah!”

But, instead of Alice, Zhao Ming coughed out blood. The red thread connected to Alice broke as he fell to the ground. The red thread in his hand was broken but the other two threads were still there.

“It seems you are right. It doesn’t work on strong.” Alexa walked near him and puts the Healing Potion on his mouth. After ten minutes, Zhao Ming stood up and started training with his spear. He found the potential of his physique has increased but there is nothing more he could do.

So, he focused on spear training.

After an hour, Peter finally woke up. As soon as he woke up, Alice clung over him and cried. She was truly worried about him. After all, the healing potions were taking a lot of time to heal him. After patting her head and calming her down, Peter raised his eyes to the other three.

When his eyes fell on Zhao Ming, he felt something different. He found Zhao Ming’s strength has improved for some reason. But, he didn’t ask him. He shifted his gaze and asked, “So, did you distribute the rewards?”

“No, we were waiting for you to recover. The admin said we will be teleported to the third floor once we accept the reward.” Alexa shook her head and pointed her hand at the sky.

“Well, let’s split the reward.” Saying so, Peter turned his head at the position where Alexa pointed.

He saw five bubbles, unlike the previous four bubbles. At the same time, he turned his gaze at the screen panels above those bubbles.

[You received 3+ levels]

[You received one Rare Treasure Chest]

[You received three Common Treasure Chest]

[You received 2000 Mana Coins]

[You received 1000 Mana Crystals]

“Interesting! We received the original reward in the bubbles. It seems it was due to my absence. Well, it doesn’t matter. Open Rare Treasure Chest and Common Treasure Chest.” Peter rubbed his chin and commanded the system to open the chests.

[You received Rare Rank Weapon Coin]

[You received Rare Rank Weapon Coin]

[You received 10000 Mana Crystals]

[You received Rare Rank Skill Coin]

[You received Rare Rank Skill Coin]

[You receive 1000 Mana Coins]

[You receive Common Rank Weapon Coin]

[You receive Common Rank Ring]

[You receive 1000 Mana Coins]

[You receive a Passive Skill]

[You receive an Active Skill]

[You receive 40 Mana Coins]

[You receive Rare Rank Ring]

[You receive Common Rank Ring]

“Most things didn’t change. But, we seem to have got something new here.” Peter turned his head at Alexa and asked “Do you think this weapon coin?”

“Yes, grandpa mentioned weapon and skill coin to me once. He said weapon coins or skill coins are special coins that can grant weapons or skill as we want. We just need to think of the skill or weapon while holding the coin and we can easily get it.” Alexa explained with an excited expression.

“Well, I am still up for the Mana Crystals if you don’t mind.” Peter had no use of other skills or weapons but he needed mana crystals a lot. That’s why he didn’t even hesitate to ask for it.

“I want a weapon coin.” Zhao Ming raised his hand.

“I also want a weapon coin.” Alice also raised her tiny hands and spoke with a cute expression. Those eyes were red though.

“Then, I can guess I need to be satisfied with skill.” Alexa smiled and took the bubble with the skill coin. Everyone looked at John.

“I don’t mind with anything.” John was a little flustered. Not only did he lose, but he also didn’t do much either. That’s why he felt like he doesn’t even deserve the reward.

“Well, then it is settled. As for the rewards from the common treasure chest, I don’t think anyone has any requirements. So, let me separate it. I want rings. Alexa can take Mana Coins. As for Alice and Zhao Ming, you two get a weapon coin for each. And, John will take abilities with a weapon coin.”

“This distribution is not fair but I want to strengthen the team and compensate for her loss. I need rings to complete the set. I hope you don’t mind.”

Hearing his words, everyone shook their head. They truly don’t mind. They already got three levels of upgrades. They also got four hundred mana coins and two hundred fifty mana crystals. Not to mention, they also got the Rare rank weapon or skill.

None of them were the climbers so they didn’t have any problem with the restriction of the system. So, they can practice all the skills they want.

After they accepted it, he burst the bubbles holding levels, mana coins, and mana crystals. The next moment, all three of them disappeared.

When they appeared, they had their eyes shut. But, they opened their eyes soon and looked around. At this moment, they appeared on the grassland as they should’ve.

Peter turned his gaze at the panel in front of him.

[You received Stamina Ring. Your stamina has been increased by 5]

[You received Vitality Ring. Your vitality has been increased by 5]

[Four rings detected. Combining four rings to unlock the third effect]

[You received a +10 permanent increase in all the stats.]

[You received Stamina Ring. Your stamina has been increased by 20]

“System, status!” Peter commanded

When Peter faced this panel, he thought for a moment and asked “Use the EXP to level up and show my new status!”

The next moment, his strength rose and a few seconds later, a new status appeared.

“I knew it.” At this moment, a smirk appeared on his face as he looked at his new status.. At first, he wasn’t sure but it turns out he was right.
