Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 76 Trial Tower Level 6

Virtual space.

The first level of the Trial Tower lies on a vast grassland.

One after another, the carcasses of wild bulls lay on the ground. Rorschach, holding a longsword, stood on one of the carcasses, looking completely at ease.

"It took you 15 minutes and 23 seconds. Congratulations, Luo Xia, you have passed the first level, stage C of the Trial Tower. Next, you will enter the second level of the Trial Tower."

As the electronic sound began, the vast grassland transformed into a desert.

Each level of the Trial Tower has three stages of trials: A, B, and C. Completing stages A and B will increase your level by 0.3, while completing stage C will increase it by 0.4.

Of course, even if you fail to complete the trial, the system will increase your Trial Tower level based on your performance in the trial.

"Student Luo Xia, you will be facing the second level, stage A trial of the Trial Tower. In this trial, your goal is to kill the Ironclad Scorpion, a low-level Beast General, within 10 minutes."

The armored scorpion is a common monster in desert areas. They are relatively small, but their attack methods are much more powerful than those of the wild bull.

rustle……

One by one, dark red scorpions crawled out of the desert.

……

"Congratulations, Luo Xia, you have completed the second level, stage A trial of the Trial Tower in 3 minutes and 12 seconds. Your Trial Tower level has increased to: 2.3."

Luo Xia held his longsword, watching calmly as the armored scorpion's corpse slowly disappeared.

"Next is the second level B stage of the Trial Tower. You need to kill 100 low-level Beast General-level Ironclad Scorpions within 30 minutes. Good luck."

……

"It took 12 minutes and 24 seconds. Congratulations, Luo Xia, on completing the second level B stage of the Trial Tower. Your Trial Tower level has been increased to 2.6."

Luo Xia stood amidst a pile of armored scorpion corpses, swinging his longsword. The virtual space was incredibly realistic, and his sword was stained with a lot of blood.

"Next is the second level, C stage of the Trial Tower. You need to kill 200 Beast General-level Ironclad Scorpions within 50 minutes, including 190 Beginner Beast General-level Ironclad Scorpions and 10 Intermediate Beast General-level Ironclad Scorpions. Good luck."

……

And so, Rorschach overcame each challenge one by one.

The second level of the trial was not difficult for him; he passed it easily without using any power-generating techniques.

The difficulty increased slightly on the third level, but Luo Xia possessed near-Mastery-level agility and Mastery-level swordsmanship, so he passed through easily.

At this point, his Trial Tower level had reached 4.

This means he's made it to the fourth level!

By the fourth level, the monsters' levels have increased.

Every monster is at the intermediate Beast General level, and in the C stage, there are even monsters at the advanced Beast General level!

But this was no challenge for Rorschach; he easily passed the test using his eight-times-power technique.

His comprehension is simply extraordinary.

His powerful comprehension brought him far more than just mental strength; it also granted him an incredibly formidable ability to learn and comprehend.

Thanks to this ability to learn and comprehend, Rorschach was growing and improving almost every moment!

"Phew, my movement technique has also reached the realm of intent. Very good. Next up is the trial of the fifth level."

Rorschach muttered to himself, watching the surroundings begin to change...

……

Jiang Fang and the others were waiting in the hall.

"Junior Brother Luo Xia still hasn't come out..."

Almost an hour had passed, but Janet and the others who were waiting there still hadn't seen Rorschach come out, which surprised them greatly.

"I remember the privileges for using the Trial Tower. Although the usage time wasn't counted in the allocation, there was a limitation: if you died during the trial, the trial would immediately fail, right?"

Zhao Ru muttered to herself.

She was also Jiang Fang's disciple.

As long as the allocated time limit for using the trial room hasn't been reached, it doesn't matter how many times you die; you can continue to challenge.

However, the privilege that Rorschach is currently using means that if he dies during the trial, he will immediately fail and be expelled from the Trial Tower.

However, almost an hour has now passed.

Rorschach hasn't come out yet.

Janet gazed in the direction of the training room, her eyes bright, and continued speaking, following Zhao Ruo's words—

"Since Junior Brother Luo Xia hasn't come out yet, doesn't that mean he hasn't died even once during the trials, and is still progressing through them?"

The more she spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and the more surprised and excited she became.

"An hour has passed, how many levels has he passed by now?" Rose asked in surprise.

"Perhaps we're only on the third floor?"

Han Feng said somewhat uncertainly.

Jiang Fang, standing not far away, crossed her arms, making her ample bosom appear even more prominent. She looked calmly toward the direction of the training room, but her heart was in turmoil.

Meanwhile, some trainees who need to use the training room are also waiting. Candace was number 48 last month, so he can stay in the training camp on odd-numbered days this month.

He had just finished using the gravity chamber and was about to enter the trial room when he noticed someone was already there. He frowned and asked his companion beside him:

"Has the training room been vacated? Who's inside now?"

"They didn't change people; it's still Luo Xia who went in before. He's been inside for over an hour."

"Rorschach?" Candace frowned slightly, then immediately realized what he meant and said, "Is he using his newbie privileges?"

His companion nodded. "Probably. Otherwise, given his ranking when he first entered the training camp, he would have been out long ago, given that he only had an hour to use the trial room at most."

"Even if he used newbie privileges, shouldn't he be out by now?" Candace's expression turned serious and surprised. "Has he not died even once in the trials?"

……

In the trial room, Luo Xia, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly opened his eyes and took off his helmet.

"Oh shit!"

He cursed in annoyance, "Phase B of the sixth floor requires dealing with a lord-level monster! And it's in the water! No wonder even Hong could only get to the sixth floor!"

He shook his head, put down the dark blue helmet, adjusted his mindset, took a deep breath, and then walked out of the trial room.

He ultimately stopped at the B stage of the sixth floor trial, and his current trial tower level is 6.5.

"Um?"

Stepping out of the trial room, Luo Xia noticed that many people in the hall were looking at him with strange eyes.

"What's wrong?" Rorschach asked.

Zhao Ruo then came forward and said happily:

"Junior Brother Luo Xia, you're finally out! You've been inside for almost two hours! Tell your senior sister, what floor of the Trial Tower did you reach? Did you get to the third floor?"

The female warrior teacher also came over and asked, "How was it?"

Janet smiled at Luo Xia and said, "With Junior Brother Luo Xia's strength, he must have reached the third level by now!"

Even a veteran warrior like Yang Hui could only reach the third level, so in the eyes of students like Janet, reaching the third level was already incredibly impressive.

"Ah, no." Rorschach shook his head.

The people around were taken aback. Nothing?

Luo Xia didn't even get past the third level of the Trial Tower?

Candice, who was eavesdropping nearby, heard Rorschach's reply and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Pshaw, this kid's all show and no substance.

It's a shame he also has swordsmanship at the realm of enlightenment.

So you didn't even make it to the third level of the Trial Tower?

Candice, like everyone else, assumed that Rorschach had spent so much time in the trial room because he had probably reached the third level of the trial tower.

Unexpectedly, Luo Xia failed to reach the third floor.

This is really great.

Candice thought to herself, then chuckled and said to Rorschach, "Although you didn't make it to the third level, as a newcomer, making it to the second level is already quite good."

Jiang Fang, standing nearby, was slightly disappointed. She had seen Luo Xia's confident smile and thought he would be able to reach the third floor of the Trial Tower in his first assessment.

Didn't expect it to be only the second floor?

"For a newcomer like you, the second level is pretty good. Most of the trainees in the training camp also stop at the second level. Only the trainees who are consistently ranked in the top ten can reach the third level."

Jiang Fang comforted Luo Xia, looking at him encouragingly, "Keep trying, I believe you can make it."

Luo Xia glanced strangely at the smug Candice, then looked at Jiang Fang and Zhao Ruo who were comforting him.

I said no.

I mean I'm not on the third floor, but on the sixth floor. Have you misunderstood?
