Three Towers Game

Chapter 385 Tang Rui's Exclusive Mission Begins

Not long ago, Wen Xishu felt that the interview process at San Ta Company had taken too long and made him feel tired.

So he thought about going back to the bunker to rest, but once he got back to the bunker, he immediately got addicted to the tower again.

So he thought of something—if you've been climbing the Tower of Ghosts for too long, then go to the Tower of Slaughter to relax. It can relieve the fatigue of climbing the tower and satisfy your tower addiction. How wonderful!

Wen Xishu began to stare at the letter in the inventory.

The letter itself contained no content; it was merely an envelope that could not be opened.

The "Faith Calculation" is a tool that allows the user to recognize Tang Rui even if she is completely unrecognizable. It also significantly increases the likelihood of encountering Tang Rui.

And this is an important item for unlocking Tang Rui's advanced quest.

Wen Xishu had never carried this letter when he entered the Tower of Slaughter before, but this time, he decided to try taking it with him.

Wen Xishu had a very special feeling about Tang Rui.

His answer at the Heart Gate was not an empty promise. Among the people he most longed to see who had redeemed him in the past, Tang Rui was indeed number one.

Perhaps it was because of the truth-telling toast on that rainy night, or perhaps it was because the barrage of thoughts on the screen happened to be filled with mixed emotions.

He seemed to have lived Tang Rui's entire life.

That empathy made him feel that this girl was just like him.

"Tang Rui, I hope I'll be lucky enough to meet you again."

Wen Xishu was looking forward to meeting Tang Rui, but he did not enter the Tower of Slaughter immediately; he was waiting for the old principal to join him.

……

……

Three Towers College, Principal's Office.

Albert received a drawing from the spirit of the academy, which depicted the appearance of Yomi, the number one monster in the Toei Kingdom.

Xun Hui happened to be in the principal's office and overheard what Yuan Ling said to the old principal.

"How about I give it a try? I don't think it's your place to deal with this kind of monster." Xun Hui volunteered and even took out his login device.

Albert shook his head:

"No, I'll go first. If I think it's okay, you can figure out a way to go later."

"I think I've seen this Yellow Spring before. It's not a monster from a low-level area. Maybe it's on the 80th or 90th floor?"

Eighty or ninety floors?

Xun Hui was somewhat surprised, not by the monster's level, since the old man was sure he could defeat it.

What surprised him was how Wen Xishu's experiences in the Ghost Tower could involve such a high-level monster.

"Thank you for passing on the message. Please go back and tell Dean Wen that I am about to head to the Tower of Slaughter. I think he will be heading to the Tower of Slaughter around the same time as me. I will come to find him right away."

Xun Hui didn't understand what he was saying at first, wondering if the old man was going to take Wen Xishu to the Tower of Slaughter.

But soon, he seemed to come to his senses.

Killing a monster in the Tower of Ludo is pointless; at best, it's just practice and gain some experience points.

Since Wen Xishu specifically asked the academy spirit to convey his intention to kill Huang Quan, it was probably not for practice purposes.

After all, the experience points in the area where the old man levels up are only higher.

Xun Hui then understood that Wen Xishu wanted the old man to complete the "tower retreat kill".

If you retreat from the tower and kill him, you can sever Huang Quan's opportunities and fortune in the real world.

However, it's very difficult to kill the enemy while retreating from the tower. Currently, only Wen Xishu seems to have mastered a little bit of the trick.

Yuan Ling nodded and left the principal's office, heading towards the Ghost Tower Academy.

Albert soon left the office as well.

……

……

Battlefield of Luta, Togo River.

District 04.

The Ginza district in Ward 04 was once the most prosperous area in Toe.

But now, the buildings here have been ravaged by various monsters, and many nightclubs and luxury hotels are in ruins.

Albert spent several hours using his fists to shatter space and teleport repeatedly before finally crossing oceans and several cities to arrive at Toe.

The Togo River is very large, and most of the monsters here are strangely shaped.

Some are like buses, but with eight legs; some have a radio on their heads that keeps playing sounds; and some are deformed creatures that look like fish-men and come from the deep sea.

In several areas of Hujiang, the appreciation of deformed creatures is taking place.

Albert didn't seem to care much.

He just kept asking questions, showing the portrait to everyone.

Of course, most of the monsters in Luta do not understand human languages, so when Albert could not get any answers, he simply performed a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.

He was like a god of death, fighting his way from District 09 to District 04.

Spanning several regions, it caused several waves of monster hordes fleeing.

Not long after, he found himself in Ginza Street, Ward 04, a street that was once the most bustling in Toe...

They encountered the monster from the painting.

Huangquan.

This is a creature wearing a Yaksha demon mask, dressed in a raincoat-like garment, with a full head of white hair, sharp ears, and huge wings on its back.

Its weapon is a chain, and it looks like a statue. Only in the two eye holes of the Yaksha mask can one see the vitality and ferocity in its eyes.

Albert remembered that he had been here before when he climbed the tower.

He killed many monsters with a single punch, so logically, Huang Quan should be among them.

"I heard you'll be making a name for yourself in the future. Is it because your luck is so great that killing me once isn't enough?"

"Or did you dodge my punch?"

Albert put away the sketches, rolled up his sleeves, and clenched his fist.

A deep gray light shone in Huang Quan's eyes. He spread his wings, floated in the air, and looked down at Albert.

Albert sneered:

"How arrogant! But you've flown too high."

Albert said no more. In his view, this duel was a matter of personal relationships, the kind of duel where one punch and it was over.

So he threw a punch, a punch containing terrifying power that blasted out instantly. The power of this punch was no less than the first punch he threw against Sagittarius.

The punch that changed the very color of the sky and earth also instantly altered Huang Quan's expression.

The storm unleashed by that punch made Huang Quan's wings dare not spread open again.

Huang Quan's eyes, which were emitting a gray light, instantly turned purple.

That was its terrified expression.

It never imagined that a human could possess such power!
This power is terrifying. It was just a punch thrown from a distance, yet it was enough to shatter the surrounding streets, leaving a huge chasm like a scar on the city.

The terrifying force of the punch was more frightening than a storm.

When that brutal fist struck, many faces flashed through Huang Quan's mind.

That was a scrolling light display before death.

It has defeated countless beings in Hujiang, and even the brother and sister pair were no match for it.

It devoured many creatures and was the most powerful evolved form on this battlefield.

It is the ultimate form of life!

But when faced with this punch, it felt that all the enemies it had encountered before were too weak.

These are not the kinds of humans that should be in this area.

No... such humans should not exist, not in any region.

The terrifying force of the punch instilled an instinctive fear in Huang Quan.

But it was only for a moment. As that strange energy enveloped him again, Huang Quan let out a mocking laugh:
"Fish fish fish fish!"

The temperature between heaven and earth began to drop suddenly.

A tremendous and intense sense of death enveloped Albert.

Albert frowned slightly; he saw that his fist had indeed struck Huang Quan.

As we can see, Huang Quan should have been shattered by the force of the punch...

But the moment they touched each other, something seemed to happen within Huang Quan's body.

In that instant, he was unable to sense Huang Quan's presence.

Then, an aura as if from the underworld or hell surged in from all directions.

Albert noticed that the ground around him was starting to shift. Some skeletons began to appear.

At first there were only a few, but as the force of the punches was gradually dismantled, or rather transformed, by some other power...

Albert saw hundreds of craters appear in the ground. From those craters crawled out things that looked like skeletons.

The skeletons looked lifeless, but like the underworld, their eyes had a gray luster.

The terrifying force of the punch caused a storm to rage, although some of it was absorbed and transformed by Huang Quan through bizarre means...

But Albert's punches were truly terrifying; even the aftershocks could shatter the bodies of many skeleton soldiers.

But the broken skeletons quickly recovered; the bones pieced themselves back together, and the skeletons rose again.

"Spring, spring, spring!"

Albert finally sensed the presence of the underworld once again.

He understood; the other person was mocking him, calling him stupid. Only the pronunciation was off.

But it's clear that Huang Quan seems to have found a way for a monster to speak human language. "Ugh... this is troublesome."

Albert admitted that he had underestimated the monster.

Now, Huang Quan has appeared unharmed, surrounded by a powerful army of skeletons.

Albert could sense that these skeleton armies were no ordinary beings; the combined aura they contained seemed to be roughly equivalent to a punch from him.

This is an army capable of flattening the Hu River.

This time, Huang Quan did not float in the air, and his wings were tattered.

But its gaze was full of provocation.

The dark water is diverted eastward.

This is Huang Quan's ability: to briefly enter a place similar to the "pseudo-underworld." Once inside, if an opponent attacks, Huang Quan will absorb the opponent's attack and turn it into "death energy." This death energy can summon many "undead" creatures.

The stronger the opponent's attack, the more undead can be summoned, and there may even be elite troops.

The sheer size of the gray-eyed skeleton army made Huang Quan feel confident of victory.

It was terrified by Albert's punch, a punch beyond its comprehension.

But it didn't expect that it was indeed a perfect being! Even when faced with such a punch, its abilities would still be effective.

In other words, it has the ability to absorb the opponent's attacks and then return them by "summoning the undead".

This is practically an invincible tactic.

Once he was certain that he could withstand even such a terrifying punch, Huang Quan felt no more fear.

Albert didn't say much, and threw several punches in succession with the same fist.

The surrounding skeleton army was instantly reduced to dust. The terrifying force of the punch made the city tremble.

Huang Quan was terrified again... its masked, pointed-eared head short-circuited.

This level of attack wasn't a secret technique after all? It was just... a regular strike? And it can be unleashed continuously without any interval?

It was afraid, afraid that its body couldn't handle it.

But the next instant, just as the terrifying force of the punch was about to engulf it... that familiar feeling returned!
Huang Quan once again retreated into that special world, while on the real battlefield, endless death energy surged forth.

More and more craters appeared in the ground, and hundreds of skeleton warriors emerged from the earth once again.

Unlike before, the terrible attack caused these skeleton soldiers to grow flesh and blood like filth, and they began to grow thick and burly.

The undead army has become even more powerful!
Huang Quan let out a wanton laugh, a sound like bones rubbing against bones, extremely unpleasant to hear.

Not long after, Albert once again sensed the presence of the underworld.

Huang Quan's eyes already held a hint of contempt.

"No wonder, it turns out it has such a monstrous ability."

Albert could imagine that this guy was very powerful under the constellation, and without special means, it would be impossible to kill this monster called Huang Quan.

However, Albert no longer frowned; instead, he relaxed his brow and smiled.

"The combined aura of these monsters seems to be similar to the force of my punch. A great ability."

"really not bad."

Huang Quan was puzzled. The old man's attacks had no effect on him, so how could he still laugh?

Albert once again assumed a punching stance, the old man's smile growing even wider:

"However, I just discovered something..."

"Your presence completely vanished midway, as if you had disappeared into some other dimension."

"But I suppose my fist energy also entered that other dimension."

"You didn't simply dodge; you absorbed my power, along with yourself, into another dimension."

"In that space, my power will be transformed into the power that allows you to summon these junk."

Huang Quan understood. This old man was truly terrifying; he had guessed most of Huang Quan's methods after only two attacks.

But even if you guessed it, what can you do?
Huang Quan disdainfully spread his arms, as if to say, "What can you do to me?"

"Xun Hui is indeed no match for you. Fortunately, I fought you first."

Albert twisted his neck:
"After the first punch was thrown, it took about three seconds for these monsters to burst out of the ground."

"But the second time, under the barrage of punches, these monsters emerged from the ground two seconds later."

"I can understand it as your world being slowed down because the opponent is outputting too much energy."

Like a marksman, Albert's punches are unavoidable and always hit their mark.

This time, Huang Quan could clearly feel the old man's muscles twitching.

A terrifying power was gathering in the old man's fist!

Albert said dismissively:
"So, the otherworld you're so proud of has a limit to the amount of attack power it can withstand, right?"

As the words fell, Huang Quan felt a tremor deep within his soul.

The strange old man's fist—here it comes again! But this time, the fist is stronger than we can comprehend.

This ultimate killing weapon of Toe... its consciousness was shattered by the terrifying force of the punch.

It didn't even have time to change its expression.

It only felt that familiar power enveloping it once again, and it once again escaped into that world.

But in the next instant, it was horrified to discover that its body was disintegrating.

No... it wasn't just the body, but this special world that could transform an opponent's attacks into "death energy" was also collapsing.

It's like in a game, the opponent can not only kill you with one punch, but also destroy the respawn fountain in the safe zone with one punch. It's simply incomprehensible.

This is absolutely impossible!

These were Huang Quan's last thoughts.

This terrifying monster, an unparalleled force on the battlefield of Togo, was destroyed by Albert's fist, which was powerful enough to annihilate everything, along with the unique pseudo-underworld of Yomi.

After the war, watching the shattered space around him slowly repair itself, Albert blew on his fist:

"A good warm-up exercise. It's just a little top-heavy."

Traveling for hours, fighting for three minutes... Albert certainly didn't find this experience satisfying.

Fortunately, this mission seems to have yielded some unexpected gains—

[You have achieved something that no one has ever done before. Please go to the Inquiry section to view the details.]

The notification had appeared, and Albert's smile widened.

Receiving this notification means...

Wen Xishu, who entered the Tower of Slaughter at the same time as him in a team, has successfully advanced the "Tower of Slaughter storyline".

This is a notification for a kill after retreating from the tower. It's a special kill notification that can only be unlocked by changing the fate of certain boss-level beings in the Tower of Slaughter.

Despite Albert having overheard the spirit saying that Wen Xishu wished to kill Huang Quan every time he saw him…

However, it is clear that unless Huang Quan "returns" in the future, he will not have the opportunity to kill Huang Quan in the Tower of Slaughter again.

Albert was quite pleased, but also quite curious—

What exactly did Wen Xishu do to cause a change in the fate of a leader-level monster?

Then, he became worried. Wen Xishu had moved the "plot forward," but that didn't mean Wen Xishu was safe.

This time, however, due to some special reasons, he really couldn't help Wen Xishu.

……

……

hours ago.

In the rest area of ​​the Tower of Lu, Wen Xishu and Albert appeared together, and the two appeared in the Tianyuan area.

The two had a clear division of labor.

The old headmaster was responsible for the kill, while Wen Xishu was responsible for unlocking the conditions for the tower retreat kill.

Wen Xishu was not confident in pushing the "trace of fate" forward, but he felt more certain after arriving at the rest area.

Because he received the following notification.

[Note: Due to carrying the special item "Tang Rui's Letter," a special recruitment quest will be triggered during this Tower of Slaughter journey. The letter's owner will be teleported separately to the corresponding quest area, and the kill count restriction will be temporarily lifted. The survival difficulty will be based on the quest itself, and will no longer be related to the current level.]

This hint made Wen Xishu feel a little uneasy.

After all, Lu Tangrui is very powerful, and the mission he is about to trigger may be to help Tangrui solve some troubles.

This is the most crucial point – if Tang Rui can't solve it, is my ability sufficient to solve it?
You should know that Luta is a place where combat ability truly matters.

However, Wen Xishu couldn't rely on the old principal, because although the two were in a team, the task could only be completed by Wen Xishu alone.

After all, the old headmaster had nothing to do with the letter.

With this in mind, Wen Xishu decided to split up with the old principal.

So, in the next few hours, the old principal went directly to Hujiang to search for Huang Quan.

Wen Xishu, on the other hand, is here to take on this mission.

"Although I don't know the difficulty of the mission..."

"But the good news is that with this mission, it's clear that we can change Tang Rui's fate. As long as I don't cause any trouble, Huang Quan can be killed by the old headmaster when he retreats from the tower."

Wen Xishu checked his "trump cards".

The Mad Dice and Scorpion Knife, plus Tower Power, the Realm of Solitary Being, and the Triad version of Mental Barrage, along with various runes...

Although he felt uneasy and worried that he was not capable enough.

But there was also a conflicting feeling of eagerness, a desire to test the results of one's efforts in the Tower of Slaughter.

Without much hesitation, Wen Xishu and the old principal simultaneously activated the login device, left the rest area, and entered the world of Luta.
