Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

After finishing all this, Su Hao glanced at Jiang Chengcheng and the others who were still in a daze behind him and urged, "What are you spacing out for? Come on, it's time to go to the next floor."

As he walked towards the stairs leading to the third floor, Su Hao pondered whether he should let the Jawless Needle Dragon release its poison later.

After-sales service is too troublesome. You also have to be careful to conceal the aura of Milotic's Primal Reversion and Eternal Mist Abyss. These actions are effective at the lower levels where Rayquaza is too lazy to care, but it's hard to say whether they will work at higher levels.

.......................................

On the third and fourth floors of the Sky Tower, you still face the projection of the dragon Pokémon guarding the steps.

This time, Su Hao didn't let the Jawed Dragon use its venom; instead, he used Dragon-type moves to overwhelm it.

Even though it was the one with the lowest energy level in the team, the Naganadel, which joined last, already had the level of an early gymnastics-level monster.

For these students, whose Pokémon are mostly elite or professional-level, and a few may have late-stage professional-level combat power, even without the strange venom from before, this Naganadel is still terrifyingly strong!

Especially as it defeated more and more projections, its aura continued to rise rapidly, leaving people speechless.

As long as the body can withstand it, if it keeps stacking like this, Naganadel might be able to fight against a Champion-level Pokémon!

That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

Are all Ultra Beasts like this?

Following behind Su Hao, the students who occasionally picked up small pieces of trash nearby had started chatting idly.

As they chatted, they were surprised to discover that the most time-consuming part of climbing the tower was not fighting the gatekeeper monster.

—But rather, they were on their way.

The interior space is too spacious, and it does take quite a while to walk around.

Li Xiao, Li Hua, and the others were more or less aware that Su Hao was cooperating with them. While happily clinging to his coattails, they didn't let Su Hao's efforts go to waste. Their eyes were wide open, keeping an eye out for any suitable resources along the way.

Less than an hour after entering the Sky Tower, the main group had already reached the fifth floor.

Unlike the grassy environment of the first three levels, the environment of the fifth level is like the Delta Desert where the Sky Tower is located, with yellow sand everywhere. The air is filled with sandstorms, and occasionally a grain of sand may scratch your cheek.

If viewed from the sky, one can clearly see a "giant mouth" moving across the desert.

That is the "willful" quicksand abyss built by the desert dragonfly race that lives here.

The quicksand abyss is made up of a large number of Trapinch. There are no Pokémon projections in this layer. The only way to clear it is to reach the stairs leading to the sixth layer while being blocked by the quicksand abyss and harassed by Ultrasonic Larva and Flygon.

The stairs aren't far from here; the main problem is how to get across the quicksand abyss.

“Four-jawed Needle Dragon, you lead the way, we’ll take the empty route.”

After some thought, Su Hao realized that the fastest way to pass the level was to break through to the stairs directly, even with the ultrasonic larvae in the sandstorm and the desert dragonflies deliberately blocking his way.

"Ouch!"

The four-jawed needle dragon responded energetically. This was one of its few opportunities to show its abilities, and it was determined to handle things perfectly!

The Four-jawed Needle Dragon flapped its wings, and like an arrow released from a bow, it transformed into a streak of white light, directly following the aura to find the master of this desert.

Following behind Su Hao, the geniuses from various universities also released their flying Pokémon one after another. Those who didn't have flying Pokémon would just tag along with others and hitch a ride. Their main goal was to not cause trouble and just obediently follow along and cling to the powerful figures.

Li Hua also released his Corviknight and Altaria. He rode on Corviknight, while Altaria carried Jiang Chengcheng.

Li Xiao and Long Ningyan also released their Garchomp and Noivern, preparing to take off.

They all assumed Su Hao would summon a flying Pokémon for transportation, but to their surprise...

— Su Hao stepped on the air, walking lightly and gracefully, seemingly oblivious to the churning quicksand abyss beneath his feet, and strolled leisurely toward the steps.

Everyone: "???"

"Holy crap, a Dou Zong level expert—"

I don't know which eccentric student shouted that.

Although they knew this was probably some kind of application of a special ability, it still looked incredibly impressive!

There were absolutely no ultrasonic larvae or desert dragonflies blocking the way on the way to the steps.

After all, they were already intimidated by the four-jawed needleosaur and dared not move at all.

The leader of the desert dragonflies stared at the four-jawed needle dragon, showing none of the arrogance it displayed when toying with some of the challengers.

If Su Hao were to connect with the Desert Dragonfly leader via waveguide, he might be able to glimpse its thoughts.

—I'm just a low-level professional worker, why should I risk my life against this guy?

The next few floors were also completely unable to stop Su Hao's progress.

Li Hua and his group followed Su Hao, who was pushing forward, and picked up resources. Before they knew it, they had arrived at the tenth floor of the Sky Tower.

In the "Dragon's Trial" stage, with the Poké Balls blocked, players must use their command skills to guide three Dragon-type Pokémon projections that appear around them to break through a storm barrier created by a large number of Flying-type Pokémon.

However, when the group of people entered the tenth-floor space, the three Dragon-type Pokémon projections did not appear for a long time.

—It's like the Sky Tower got stuck because too many people came up at once.

------------

Chapter 1440 Can't catch up, simply can't catch up

However, under the influence of some strange pressure, their partner also turned into a red light and was forcibly sent back into the Poké Ball.

Even the four-jawed needle dragon beside Su Hao was no exception.

Without Pokémon by their side, most of the people present were just ordinary, fragile college students.

Let alone braving the turbulent winds.

Even pacing in place, you could accidentally trip over your own feet and break a bone.

At this moment, dark clouds loomed ahead, and a large number of Flying-type Pokémon gathered under this gray curtain. As if they had noticed that someone else had come up, their wings cut through the air, emitting excited, sharp cries.

Big-billed finches, Pidgeots, Armored Birds, Altarias... with each flap of their wings, powerful gusts of air are stirred up.

As they continued to circle, their feathers danced wildly in the wind, and countless wind blades gathered and intertwined around them. These wind blades, like sharp knives, gleamed with a cold light, colliding and rubbing against each other, emitting sharp and piercing sounds.

Soon, these wind blades merged into an impenetrable storm barrier, blocking all paths ahead.

Seeing this, many people looked uncomfortable.

Even though Jiang Chengcheng had practiced martial arts since childhood and was confident that she could maintain her balance and not be blown off her feet by the strong wind, she had no intention of challenging the opponent with her own body.

Because those who advance will not only face the threat of the storm, but also the random attacks of the swarms of flying Pokémon gathering in the sky.

Without a Pokémon by your side, going in is tantamount to suicide.

In addition, the Dragon-type Pokémon projection has not yet appeared, causing some people to feel a little anxious.

At this moment, Su Hao's gaze fell on the Ultimate Ball, his expression thoughtful.

If he wasn't mistaken, the strange pressure that forced all the Pokémon to retreat into their Poké Balls just now should have come from Rayquaza.

However, it was not the pressure it released itself, but rather the pressure that was recorded and reproduced in the Sky Tower. The basis for this pressure is probably the grass-green orb that is closely related to Rayquaza. As for the effect of forcibly retreating the Pokémon, it should be related to the "Roar" move.

In fact, when they entered the tenth floor, everyone heard a faint dragon roar. Before they could react, all the Pokémon around them were sent back into their Poké Balls and could no longer be released.

The oppressive aura still lingers in this layer, preventing the Pokémon inside the Poké Ball from appearing.

Rashiram could come out, but Su Hao felt it was unnecessary.

Fortunately, although the sudden influx of dozens of people confused the Sky Tower, soon, as the strange energy gathered, projections of three Dragon-type Pokémon appeared around everyone in turn.

Long Ningyan is accompanied not only by her motorcycle lizard, which she often uses as a mount, but also by a Qixi bluebird and a cute little toothy dog.

Li Hua, Jiang Chengcheng, and Li Xiao also had more or less Dragon-type Pokémon spawning around them, which were giving serious guidance and should be able to successfully break through this storm barrier.

Some unlucky players, however, spawned a bunch of baby dragon-type Pokémon, leaving them utterly devastated.

Beside Su Hao were Red-faced Dragon, Sticky Treasure, and Fruit-eating Worm.

Well, it's not that it's impossible, but it's not much of a success either.

It's likely that if Su Hao isn't careful, Gooey and Fruiteat will be snatched away by those ferocious flying Pokémon.

Unlike the previous levels, these Dragon-type Pokémon projections did not appear aggressively. Instead, they stood still and obediently allowed their temporary partners to do as they pleased.

However, Su Hao's main concern at this moment was not how to pass the test, but rather his envy as he looked at the projections.

Previously, the sensation was not very clear, but upon closer inspection, the energy supporting these projected movements seemed to be diluted natural energy!

Blastoise, that's too extravagant!

If all these projections were "refined," they might be enough to gather enough natural energy for half an hour of the Milos Primal Regression!

However, with a big prize waiting for him, Su Hao didn't intend to waste time on such petty gains.

Seeing that everyone had Pokémon projections around them, Su Hao didn't linger. After saying goodbye to his four friends, he headed straight for the area swept by the raging wind.

However, Su Hao's choice was completely different from having the projected Pokémon protect him.

He only gave one command to the Dragon-type Pokémon projection.

—Follow behind me.

As a faint blue light appeared, Su Hao walked into the area ravaged by the raging wind without changing his expression. The sharp wind blades could not penetrate his seemingly fragile waveguide barrier, and the Crimson Dragon, Sticky Treasure, and Fruit-Eating Worm were completely unaffected under his protection.

Seeing his outrageous actions again, even though most people were somewhat prepared because of what they had experienced in the first ten floors, they still couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

Holy crap, this is outrageous!

The correct way to pass this level is for the trainer to use their knowledge and command skills to manipulate the three Pokémon projections, break through the storm barrier while protecting themselves and resisting attacks from flying Pokémon, and reach the stairs leading to the next level.

Furthermore, the Pokémon projections cannot all be wiped out, otherwise the Sky Tower will judge them as having failed the challenge and kick them back to the first floor.

Su Hao, on the other hand, simply shielded the three Pokémon projections behind him, with himself, the trainer, standing in front of them.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the group of furious flying Pokémon, who couldn't break through the pale green barrier that occasionally appeared, no matter what moves they used.

Some flying Pokémon are so annoying that they'll be hit with an Aura Sphere, which should theoretically be resistant to effects, and crash into the blue smoke like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

These flying Pokémon, who were used to running rampant on the tenth floor and even dared to chase and peck at Lancelot, encountered such a formidable enemy for the first time. They were all excited and even began to prepare their ultimate moves, which were restricted by the Sky Tower.

Even so, they still couldn't stop Su Hao's advance.

In no time at all, Su Hao's figure disappeared from the tenth floor.

In contrast, the number of flying Pokémon above their heads has been reduced by more than half, and the remaining members are not in good condition.

Everyone immediately realized that now was the time to overcome the challenge.
