Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

However, overuse of intelligence can lead to dependency, and intelligence is generally very expensive.

The standard version of the intelligence that Li Xia bought cost a full 2000 points; the premium version would be even more expensive.

Ordinary apostles simply cannot afford it.

Most importantly, once you reach Tier 4, you will be able to access the ranch world of the Hall. At that time, it will be a completely new world, and the apostles who are used to the strategy will die very quickly.

So, aside from the purposeful need for something in the world.

Few people rely entirely on walkthroughs, after all... an apostle always has to grow up.

The music eventually ended and the people dispersed; soon it was time to say goodbye.

Li Xia declined Bulma's offer to take her there and waved to everyone.

The capsules were thrown into the open space.

Amidst the thick white steam, a small aircraft suddenly appeared.

Li Xia jumped in, and his general driving skills quickly allowed him to grasp the basic principles.

With the activation of the anti-gravity engine, it soared into the sky.

Objective: Kalin Tower!

Chapter 23 The Way of Breathing, At the Pinnacle of Kalin

A small plane flew over the high school, leaving a straight white trail as the steam from its engine condensed in the air.

The distance from Budo Island to the sacred Kalin is long, requiring at least 8 hours by plane.

After setting the destination and letting the plane fly automatically, Li Xia simply leaned back in his chair, having expended a lot of energy in the battle just now.

After another hearty meal, it's hard not to feel a bit sleepy in the warm cabin.

Although as the body grows stronger, sleep becomes more of a habit than a necessity, according to the apostles' exploration, maintaining deep sleep is beneficial and harmless in every way.

It's more like an important channel for relaxation and stress relief.

Soon, long, deep breaths filled the cabin. The LV4 circulation of energy began to flow automatically. Even while asleep, Li Xia's body instinctively moved in rhythm with his breathing.

With each breath, it's as if you can draw in some mysterious energy from the world into your body, transforming it into wisps of warm air that slowly travel along specific meridians.

When exhaling, it is as if all the turbid air and impurities in the body are expelled, and the breath is steady and long, without any disorder.

As time went by, a faint halo gradually appeared around Li Xia's body. This halo flickered with his breath, like the faint light of stars.

The two battles with the Apostle of Urobuchi and Master Roshi were undoubtedly very rewarding. This reward was not only reflected in the rewards, but more importantly, in the implementation of what he had learned.

Those who practice martial arts value real combat most.

In his confrontation with the Apostles of the Void Abyss, Li Xia experienced for the first time the true pressure of being on the brink of life and death.

The feeling was completely different from when facing Smaug's dragon breath. Every move and every block was no longer a mechanical repetition on the training field, but an instinctive reaction concerning life and death.

The contest with Master Roshi was more about technique, and it was far more exhilarating. Master Roshi's moves seemed simple and unadorned, but they contained profound skill and rich experience. If he hadn't been holding back while sparring with Li Xia, it would have been a life-or-death struggle.

It's likely that we'll see a real show of one force overpowering ten techniques!

These experiences are in some ways no less valuable than the rewards. The Dragon Ball world may seem to have few missions and few rewards, but in reality, some things are not on the surface.

For example—Karinta!

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

"Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, cruise destination approaching, please switch to manual mode!"

Li Xia slowly opened her eyes and saw that the blue sea and sky before she fell asleep had suddenly turned into a lush and dense forest.

From afar, you can see a straight black line reaching into the sky, like a vertical bar suddenly appearing in the center of the screen.

He took manual control of the pilot, and the plane traced a graceful arc in the air as it sped towards Kalinta.

The engine nozzles gradually reduced thrust, relying mainly on anti-gravity engines for low-altitude flight.

The air blast from the passing plane swept through the jungle, causing the lush green leaves below to sway like a green wave.

Li Xia craned his neck to observe the outside. The trees below were extremely dense, with only a small open space near the tower.

A crude tent was pitched in the open space, and various animal hides were drying outside. This was the dwelling of the tower keeper, Brah, and his son, Upa.

They are a tribe living in the sacred land of Kalin, who have guarded the Kalin Tower for generations, but only the tower keeper's family can live at the foot of the tower.

The plane slowly approached the open ground, and the loud noise immediately caught Bra's attention.

The incredibly strong tower guard warily raised his spear and chased his son back into the tent.

"Boom"

A huge amount of water vapor burst out around the plane, then shrunk into a capsule, which Li Xia caught in his hand.

The drop of more than 30 meters occurred in an instant. As it approached the ground, its legs naturally bent, silently dissipating the force of the fall like a nimble cat.

He simply lifted a few fallen leaves from the ground, and with that one action, Brahma's expression became even more serious.

He could jump from that height with ease, but it's unlikely he could control the force so well.

"Outsider, this is a sacred place where immortals dwell. What brings you here?"

Brahma held the stone spear across his chest and asked warily.

Li Xia turned his gaze away from the towering Kalin Tower and nodded to Bra: "Climb Kalin Tower and pursue the limits of martial arts."

Actually, it's just a simple tower climb and there's no need to interact with Bra. However, Bra has four stars, and according to the collected strategy guide, if Bra doesn't leave beforehand...

He will die at Tao Pai Pai's hands, and then Goku will insist on using the Dragon Balls to revive Bora.

To obtain the Dragon Balls, you must defeat Goku, who has climbed Korin Tower and is even stronger than Tao Pai Pai...

Li Xia didn't know how the apostles had figured out these details and steps, but he always felt... that every step seemed to be stained with the tears of the apostles who had stumbled into pitfalls...

Therefore, the only way to avoid this is to get Bora away, or... kill Tao Pai Pai!

"Oh?" Bora slowly put away the stone spear. He was only protecting the holy land from being disturbed, but he did not stop others from climbing the tower.

Countless people have attempted to climb this tower, but all of them have failed. Some climbed for days, but ran out of food and fell due to exhaustion. Others tried to fly up in one go, but they also failed. Those who do not want to climb up on their own will never see the top of the tower.

"Climbing the tower?"

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

The campfire crackled and burned, and the fish and rabbits roasting over it emitted a delicious aroma.

“Hmm…it’s been a very, very long time since anyone climbed the tower…” Bra scratched his head. “Maybe it’s just an old legend…”

Li Xia, who was holding a cup of hot tea, couldn't help but laugh. The tower keeper said the tower was a legend...

"Dad, have you ever climbed before?" Short Upa blinked, looking expectantly at her all-powerful father.

“Of course… I’ve never climbed it!” Bora insisted.

“It’s not just a legend; someone has actually climbed up there.” Li Xia shook his head. Some bored cat master up there must be spying on him right now: “Master Roshi has been up there.”

Is it really true? Brahma looked up in astonishment at the Kalin Tower that stretched straight into the sky. When he was young, he only climbed a few hundred meters before giving up. He couldn't believe that someone had actually reached the top.

After Li Xia finished eating the food in his hand, he simply made a sweeping motion, and with the flow of his true qi, all the greasiness was swept away.

"Thank you for your hospitality, I'm ready to climb the tower!"

Without any conventional attempts to persuade them to leave, and without demanding the Dragon Balls, Li Xia clenched his fists and looked up at the tower.

His sole purpose in coming here is to climb Kalin Tower and then intercept and kill Tao Pai Pai!

The moment my hand touched the tower, the prompt from the Hall of Light arrived as promised.

You have triggered the side quest: The Summit of Kalin.

Chapter 24 Beyond the Limits! (1/4)

Side Quest: Kalin's Summit

[Mission Objective: Climb Kalin Tower to the top]

[Mission Duration: Unlimited (maximum duration is the current world stay duration)]

[Mission Requirements: No equipment or items may be used. You may not leave Kalin Tower. Repeated attempts will have their effectiveness reduced by 60%.]

[Task Rewards: Increase base attributes based on progress]

Li Xia took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, and then used all her strength to leap up suddenly.

Thick layers of fallen leaves exploded and flew in all directions, fluttering down like a rain of leaves.

To the astonishment of Brahma and Upa, Li Xia shot straight into the sky with a whoosh.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black dot.

This leap sent him nearly 100 meters into the air. As the upward momentum slowed, Li Xia reached out and grabbed the protruding edge of the tower wall.

Then, using all four limbs, he climbed upwards as quickly as a gecko.

Kalin Tower is about two meters in diameter and has a regular circular shape. It is too thick to hug, but the curve is quite large to climb straight up.

In short, it goes against human physical exertion and makes climbing very difficult.

The first few hundred meters were not difficult, but gradually, as the height increased, the tower of Kalin Tower also underwent subtle changes.

The original tower was covered with dense reliefs, and these uneven reliefs provided Li Xia with many points of support.

However, the reliefs on the tower are becoming simpler and simpler, and the concave and convex surfaces are also decreasing.

Each time you climb, you have to grip the rough surface of the tower with your fingers and push off with your toes to find a foothold.

The cold wind grew increasingly biting, like countless tiny knives cutting into his face and body. Li Xia stopped climbing, and Scott's image in his right eye clearly showed their current height.

At 2635 meters, even Li Xia was starting to feel breathless, and the fine sweat on his body felt unusually cold when the wind blew.

We can't stop...

Li Xia pursed her dry lips and silently continued climbing.

As the altitude gradually increases, the surrounding environment becomes increasingly harsh.

The cold mist spread out, blurring his vision, and even the water vapor he exhaled began to condense into a layer of white frost around his eyebrows and eyes.

During his climb, Li Xia tried countless times to circulate his Qi and draw upon his true Qi, but he managed to suppress it each time.

Using true qi would undoubtedly make the climbing process much easier, but it would also lose the original intention of challenging the limits.

Kalin Tower is climbable, and the process of climbing it is a form of exercise; climbing it with your own body is naturally the most effective method.

According to the guides I bought, some people climbed up using chakra and other energy sources, but only gained 1 attribute point and a 100-point increase in their energy cap.

Some apostles first climbed a section using their own bodies, and only used their abilities when they couldn't endure it any longer, thus gaining 1 more attribute point.

But Li Xia is different... Other apostles who can't make it in the world can try becoming workers or joining a guild...

He had no way out but to move forward.

So he wanted to seize every opportunity to become stronger, to fight, to struggle, and to surpass his own limits!

The wind howled past my ears, and every inch of my exposed skin turned red from the cold, as if I were about to lose consciousness at any moment.

"Huff, huff—"

The sky was completely silent, except for the sound of my own heavy breathing. The thin air made my breathing even more rapid, and my chest heaved violently.

My stiff fingers can no longer feel pain; I can only feel their presence when I pinch the small raised part of the relief above with all my might.

6247 meters.......
