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

Li Hua, Jiang Chengcheng, Li Xiao, and Long Ningyan exchanged glances and, without hesitation, chose to set off.

Even with the difficulty level dropping drastically, it still took them almost half an hour to break through the encirclement of those flying Pokémon.

But when they arrived at the swampy area on the eleventh level, Su Hao was nowhere to be found. Only some large, pitted holes remained, indicating that a fierce battle had taken place there not long ago.

The group exchanged helpless glances, realizing they couldn't catch up and would likely have to rely on themselves from now on.

Fortunately, Li Xiao and Long Ningyan's aces are both at the early stage of the Dojo level, and Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng's aces are also at the professional level. If they can preserve their full strength, they might be able to break through to a higher level than expected in one go!

Chapter 1441 "Jiao Bai, it's only been a few days, and you've gotten so bloated!"

The level design of each floor of the Tower of the Sky is quite interesting, especially the integer floors, which are full of the whimsical ideas of ancient humans.

After clearing the tenth floor, "Dragon's Trial," Su Hao, no longer slowing down to take care of his friends, began his speedrun.

The projected Pokémon blocking the way in the swamp area on the eleventh floor were directly taken away by the Dragon Pulse fired by Naganadel. In the seawater area on the fifteenth floor, the attacks of the Poisonous Algae Dragons posed no resistance to the Naganadel, which was in good condition.

Along the way, Su Hao also encountered many people from the Dragon Clan. After all, their clan basically used the Sky Tower as a training ground. Here, not only can the strength of Pokémon be improved, but the trainer's own qualities will also be rapidly enhanced.

Su Hao also learned the names of some key floors from them.

For example, the 20th floor, "Wind-Eroded Corridor," is a large rock passage that has been eroded by storms, creating countless holes. Gale-force winds will spray out wind blades from these holes, attacking challengers like traps.

However, if you find the Swablu tribe living here and befriend them, you can rely on their "Cotton Defense" to block the wind tunnel, allowing you to focus more on defeating the increasingly powerful projection Pokémon.

However, that was a clever strategy used by the Dragon Clan. Su Hao, just like on the 10th floor, chose to simply tough it out.

However, on his way out of the corridor, he encountered a flock of blue-feathered birds. After a moment's thought, Su Hao shared some food with the birds and asked them to help them if anyone of similar age ever visited the area.

The 35th floor of "Silent Cloud Sea" and the 50th floor of "Upside-down Rainforest" might be difficult for some trainers, but for Su Hao, it's just a matter of whether he can defeat them in one or two moves.

The Silent Sea of ​​Clouds is a completely silent space, similar to a vacuum universe. The inability to communicate with sound is fatal for trainers and Pokémon that rely on commands.

But for Su Hao, such restrictions were meaningless from the very beginning.

In the upside-down rainforest, gravity is completely reversed. Tree roots grow upwards, the ground hangs overhead, and the swarms of buzzing bats that are usually hanging upside down appear to be standing.

The gravity here is chaotic, there is no foothold, and you can only move forward by flying. If you make a wrong step, you will be sent back to the first level.

On their journey, they not only had to face attacks from groups of buzzing bats and sonic dinosaurs that had lived there for a long time and had adapted to the environment, but also had to contend with the chaotic gravity and try to maintain their sense of direction as much as possible.

Once you reach the fiftieth floor or higher, although the number of Pokémon projections guarding the gate decreases, their quality increases significantly.

On the 51st floor alone, there are several Gym Leader level Pokémon and a Champion level Pokémon projected guarding the stairs.

From this point onward, even the number of members of the Dragon Clan decreased drastically. In this vast space, it was rare to find more than five challengers at the same time.

Most people chose a floor that suited them, bringing their Pokémon to practice and collect materials.

People like Su Hao, who quietly climb the ladder, are even rarer.

The Tower of the Sky has 55 floors, and is surrounded by enormous plants that far exceed the environment of the outside world. Looking at it, one feels as if they have traveled through time and space to the Cretaceous period 100 million years ago.

Perhaps because they haven't had contact with humans for so long, the wild Pokémon on this level—

To be precise, these are non-fossil resurrections. These are genuine fossil Pokémon, each with a fierce temperament. Not only have their appearances changed considerably, but they also lack the Rock type, which is essential for fossil Pokémon.

The pure Dragon-type Tyranitar, the Dragon and Flying-type Aerodactyl, the Dragon and Steel-type Garuda... These "fossil Pokémon" that still retain their original wildness and types are incredibly combative, and in addition, they are powerful and numerous.

Even though the Four-Jaw Needle Dragon had already leveled up to Elite Four level through "Beast Boost" along the way, and with Su Hao's Everlasting Power as an aid, it still took a lot of effort to successfully break through.

—Having already passed the halfway mark, in order to prevent Eternatus's aura and Primal Reversion from attracting Rayquaza's attention, Jawed Needle Dragon cannot release its poison. Moreover, even if it did release its poison, Milotic would not be able to use Primal Reversion to purify the environment.

Realizing that this was probably the limit for soloing the Four-Jaw Needle Dragon, Su Hao didn't hesitate to flip over the next card when he reached the 56th floor.

Dorron Baruto and his younger brother and sister Dorron Messia!

Using the power of reversal would likely attract Rayquaza's attention, but given the current difficulty, there's absolutely no need for them to use it.

After the Jawless Needle Dragon was replaced by the Dragapult siblings, Su Hao's speed instantly increased.

In terms of strength, a single ordinary Dragon Pulse unleashed by the Dragons, without any annihilation power, can overturn a group of gatekeepers. Even when encountering levels with tricky conditions for passing, Su Hao's own Aura allows him to easily perceive the environment and find the key to breakthrough.

Twelve hours after entering the Sky Tower, Su Hao had already reached the 74th floor of the Sky Tower.

This level is another rare instance where combat is secondary and puzzle-solving is the primary focus.

Since the Dragon Clan members are almost nowhere to be seen starting from the 60th floor, it's impossible to know the name of the level.

Su Hao named this level "Sky Maze". The entire environment is almost entirely "high in the air" with no foothold. The only place to stand is the transparent floating islands suspended in the air.

A large group of wind sprites with a "mischievous heart" live on the floating island. Hidden among them is the key to unlocking the 75th floor. Su Hao and Dorambaruto's task is to capture these naughty wind sprites and deal with their various interferences.

Fortunately, Aura is unique in its ability to read people's minds. Su Hao instantly locked onto a Whimsicott whose emotions were fluctuating and had Draco capture it.

Grabbing the small body of the wind sprite, Su Hao remained unmoved as he met its innocent gaze. He searched its furry body and quickly found the key, which he then took in his hand.

Go play somewhere else.

He threw the Wind Fairy directly towards the floating island, letting it float and fly there, while Su Hao headed straight for the stairs leading to the 75th floor.

When he opened the passage and walked up the stairs to the 75th floor, he met a pair of bewildered eyes.

Seeing Bai Du looking rather disheveled, completely unlike his carefree and dashing self outside, Su Hao blinked and sincerely asked, "I've already climbed from zero to floor 75, why are you still stuck here?"

"Haven't seen you in a while, and you've gotten diarrhea like this?"

Chapter 1442 Dragon Remains Wasteland, Remnants of the Sky (4K)

Bai Du: "........."

Are you being polite?!

Bai Du never imagined that he, who always criticized others, would one day be criticized himself.

In the past, he had an absolute advantage whether facing younger or older people.

He can say whatever he wants to the younger generation, since the other party can't beat him anyway.

He can also speak ill of elders without restraint, and if the other party is in trouble, he can say that the other party is angry, disrespectful to elders, and shameless.

Apart from that freak Liao Xingchen, no one among his peers could make him suffer.

Even if Liao Xingchen could only beat him up at most, he still couldn't win an argument with him.

Unfortunately, Su Hao in front of him was someone he couldn't win an argument with, nor could he beat him in a fight!

孽 孽!

Having committed countless evils throughout my life, have I finally met my retribution?

Bai Du's expression changed repeatedly, but in the end he held back and silently wrote Su Hao down in his notebook, preparing to take revenge on his descendants later.

From this day forward, I will endure hardship and bide my time!

Su Hao ignored Bai Du, who was acting out a whole drama, and instead focused his gaze on Bao Feilong, who was covered in wounds, standing next to Bai Du. He raised an eyebrow.

"What's on the 75th floor that's put you in such a sorry state?"

Du's Salamence already has the energy level of an early Champion-level Pokémon in its normal state, and after Mega Evolution, it's guaranteed to have at least the power of a mid-Champion-level Pokémon. How can it be so weak at only level 75?

Su Hao pondered that the projection boss he had just fought on the 74th floor was only at the late-stage Heavenly King level.

He was instantly killed by a forbidden triple dragon wave. How powerful can a level 75 character be?

As he spoke, seeing that Bai Du looked like he was out of ammunition and food and was ready to go back and challenge again, Su Hao kindly released the power of Everlasting to heal the wounded dragon.

Nourished by the power of the Viridian, Salamence seemed to transform into a little dog in the sky, its eyelids almost drooping comfortably.

Bai Du watched this scene with mixed feelings.

I also had to carry a large bag filled with food and medicine before I dared to start climbing the tower.

Look, Su Hao came up empty-handed!

With a sigh, Bai Du looked outside and said, "The other party should have disappeared by now. You can see that by looking outside."

Su Hao blinked and walked straight outside.

Despite being indoors, the sky was a leaden gray, composed of thick, heavy clouds.

The reason is probably because each floor of the Sky Tower is like a tiny secret realm.

The ground was a silvery-gray desert, with fine sand flowing slowly in the wind, like countless tiny scales rubbing against each other.

In the sea of ​​sand, there stood a huge, arc-shaped bone spur made of some unknown material, like a giant sword thrusting out of the ground. Su Hao took out a small telescope and looked at it, and found that the surface of the bone spur was covered with honeycomb-like holes, which seemed to be due to natural weathering.

Further away, a bottomless rift valley stretched across the wasteland, and Su Hao couldn't tell what was at the bottom.

At the edge of the wasteland, an altar built from a giant dragon skull stands in the sea of ​​sand.

Countless rough stone tablets were scattered around the altar. The inscriptions had long been blurred by wind and sand, and even if you looked closely, you probably wouldn't be able to make out any useful information.

Occasionally, flying Pokémon can be seen flying across the sky, and upon closer inspection, there are quite a few different kinds.

Although it looks a bit strange, it shouldn't have driven Bai Du to this point, stuck on the 75th floor for a month or two without passing the level, right?

Su Hao looked at Bai Du, who seemed to have recovered his strength after a short rest and came out with a Salamence in much better condition than before.

"This is the 75th floor, which I named Dragonbone Wasteland. I've been stuck on this floor for a while now, unable to make any progress."

Bai Du looked at the scenery he had been seeing for almost several months and said in a low voice.

Su Hao, however, caught the key word and asked in confusion, "Dragon skeleton?"

Is it the skeleton he's thinking of?

Dragon skeletons?

"No, it's just an artificially constructed object that resembles a skeleton."

Bai Du knew Su Hao had misunderstood, so he shook his head and said in a teasing tone.

"It's obvious that you just barged in recklessly, without ever bothering to explore the history and stories of the ancient race that built this Sky Tower."

The Dragon Clan does more than just clear levels and collect resources in the Sky Tower; they also frequently explore every space on every floor and find a lot of information left behind by the ancient clans that built the Sky Tower.

This 75th floor should have been the place where the remnants of the people worshipped Rayquaza, the god of the sky. Logically speaking, apart from the flying and dragon-type Pokémon living in this environment, there should be no danger.

However, due to some unexpected events, these 75 floors directly controlled Baidu for several months.
