Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

"Fifty...fifty-first floor?"

The girl's voice was trembling.

She clutched the hem of her robe tightly, stammering, "J-junior brother... does it mean there are more floors after the fiftieth?"

Su Chen looked at the group of shocked senior students in front of him and nodded.

"yes."

He stretched his sore neck. "After defeating the twin bosses on the 50th floor, a new portal appeared in front of me, and I went in. I then fought my way up ten more floors, reaching the 60th floor."

Su Chen spoke lightly, but to Lao Zhang and the others, it was tantamount to detonating a nuclear bomb.

"Another...another ten floors?"

The hot-tempered senior soldier's legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the steps of the square.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Old Zhang suddenly grabbed his hair. "The Tower of Babel's normal difficulty level should have ended with the Lu siblings! This is an ironclad rule recognized by all instructors and students throughout the school's 100-year history!"

"We can see the top of the Tower of Heaven from anywhere; the fiftieth floor is the top!"

"Could it be... you discovered a hidden layer?!"

"..."

Several top students in their third and fourth years looked at each other in bewilderment.

"no……"

The bespectacled senior swallowed hard. "I feel like... I'm remarkably like a background character in a Rotten Tomatoes novel, the one who's there to give the protagonist a shock."

"Could this kid be one of those protagonists who awakened a unique SSS-rank hidden class, triggering hidden characters and storylines wherever he goes?"

"..."

Just when these top students, who usually looked down on everyone, were questioning their existence.

"Cough cough."

"Alright, stop making such a fuss, aren't you ashamed?"

Aunt Ta put down her teacup and looked Su Chen up and down, a strange light flashing in her cloudy eyes.

"This kid... must have entered the hidden level of the Tower of Babel."

"There really is a hidden layer?!"

Old Zhang jumped up immediately. "Auntie Ta, we've been at the academy for almost four years, how come we've never heard of this before?"

Aunt Ta pursed her lips.

"There are many things you haven't heard of."

She looked up at the towering Tower of Babel, her tone becoming somewhat mysterious.

"The Tower of Babel is not an inanimate object. It... is actually alive."

As soon as those words were spoken, the temperature in the square seemed to drop several degrees.

Everyone, including Su Chen, was stunned.

"Alive?"

The girl gasped.

"That's right."

Aunt Tower nodded. "The Tower of Babel has its own will. It decides which floors to open based on the performance, potential, and even its own mood of those who enter. For the past thirty years, no one has been able to arouse its interest, so it has only opened up to the fiftieth floor."

Aunt Ta looked at Su Chen.

"Perhaps it felt that this kid was fighting too fiercely and found him interesting, so it took the initiative to open the hidden layer to test his limits."

Old Zhang and the others broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

Finding something "interesting" about a tower?

What the hell kind of psychopath is this?!

"Junior..."

The girl looked at Su Chen cautiously, "So... what kind of monsters are there after the fifty-first floor?"

The people around immediately perked up their ears.

Even Aunt Ta glanced at him slightly.

After all, this is the first intelligence report about the hidden layer in the history of Sky Dome Academy.

Su Chen didn't intend to hide anything.

"Actually, there's nothing special about it."

Su Chen recalled the torment he had just experienced inside, and his brows furrowed deeply.

"The monsters' stats are ridiculously high. Starting from level 51, the monsters' four main attributes all exceed 1000 points."

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of gritted teeth.

"The most disgusting thing is that damage reduction mechanism. The damage reduction rate of the later monsters' time-space bodies is directly raised to 99%."

"..."

Upon hearing this...

The group of people all gasped in shock.

"Over 1000 in all four attributes?!"

Old Zhang's voice instantly rose eight octaves, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

"Directly negates 99% of damage?!"

The senior soldier gasped, "What the hell is the point of fighting then! You can only hit once out of a hundred shots, who can possibly win?"

"This isn't just disgusting, it's downright preventing players from completing the game!"

The bespectacled senior shook his head frantically.

Old Zhang took a deep breath and quickly calculated in his mind.

"This is too outrageous... Even if you exchange for a full set of Tower of Babel equipment from Aunt Tower, the maximum damage reduction you can achieve is only 40%."

Old Zhang looked at Su Chen as if he were looking at a god.

"In other words, even if you collect the best Tower of Babel set, you still have to withstand this monster's 59% damage reduction! How high would your base damage and attack frequency be to even scratch it?"

Upon hearing Lao Zhang's analysis, Su Chen's expression suddenly froze.

"etc."

Su Chen interrupted Old Zhang, asking with a blank look, "What equipment?"

Old Zhang was also stunned.

"Equipment from the Time Tower!"

Old Zhang pointed to Aunt Tower not far away and said matter-of-factly, "When you fight monsters in the Tower of Babel, don't they drop Time Dust and Time Cores? You can exchange these materials for equipment with Aunt Tower!"

"The equipment ranges from common to epic. Only by wearing those equipment can you obtain the attribute that ignores the damage reduction probability of monsters' time-space bodies."

"..."

The senior soldier nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, otherwise how are we supposed to fight those monsters with damage reduction? The monsters on level 30 have 50% damage reduction, so without changing our equipment, it's like scratching a thorn in our side."

Su Chen's mouth opened slightly.

When he was fighting, all he could think about was "Why is this monster so tanky?" and "Why is this damage reduction mechanism so disgusting?"

Despite having 99% damage reduction, and relying on the true damage from the stacked poison, I managed to whittle down the monster to death.

Now someone has told him.

Is there equipment specifically designed to counter this mechanism?!

no……

Su Chen was speechless.

You need equipment from the Tower of Babel to conquer the Tower of Babel, right?

Why wasn't this mechanism mentioned earlier?

I managed to withstand 99% damage reduction and get ten stacks!

At that moment, Aunt Tower suddenly remembered something and asked, "If I remember correctly, this is your first time entering the tower, right?"

"what?"

Upon hearing this...

The senior students around were stunned once again.

"Is this your first time going in?"

"Doesn't that mean... you finished the fight with the buff from your Time-Space Body?"

"The next ten floors... you managed to clear them with a 99% damage reduction rate?"

"..."

They all started to question the meaning of life.

They thought Su Chen was already strong enough.

Who knew... Su Chen finished the fight while enduring the debuffs from his Time-Space Body.

and.

He even broke the record for clearing the game!

Is this even human?!
