Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Section 1
They both reached the ninth floor, so they were ranked by time, with faster times earning higher ranks.
The reward for the ninth floor was a 41-speed Pet Launcher, which was an extremely premium item for an average Mutator.
Lin Shen wanted the Pet Launcher, but he was not very interested in the Crystal-based Creatures within the tower.
The nine Crystal-based Creatures inside the tower were not mutants, simply ordinary Crystal Bases.
They seemed so formidable only because each level of the tower was an environment most advantageous to them.
In such environments, their Strength could be maximized.
In those kinds of environments, even a Mutated Crystal Base may not necessarily be their match.
For instance, the second layer had a high-temperature environment, guarded by a Hot Rock Giant. The hotter the environment, the harder the body of the Hot Rock Giant became, and in such high temperatures, ordinary mutants couldn't defeat the Hot Rock Giant.
Lin Shen landed in front of the Realm King Tower, retracted the Evil Dragon, and directly entered through the gate.
The challenge of the Realm King Tower was too simple for Lin Shen, as releasing Death Powder could take care of everything.
The darkness of the first layer was of no use to Death Powder, which didn't rely on vision to move. It found the Crystal-based Creature in the darkness almost instantly and swallowed it whole.
The second layer, a single swallow. The third layer, still in one gulp, and the fourth layer was the same.
The Crystal-based Creatures inside the nine-layer tower couldn't stop Death Powder at all, allowing Lin Shen to easily breeze through each level.
In fact, he only needed to rely on the Carapace to withstand the unique environments of each floor, with no need for any battles on his part.
In front of another Realm King Tower, Ximen Swordsman entered with a smile on his face.
This time, he had made perfect preparations. He had researched how to quickly pass through each layer.
It was easy for him to pass through the nine layers, but to be the fastest and secure the top rank would get him the overall reward from the Realm King Tower.
Since he had come, he had to do his best and take the ultimate reward. Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths? This was the thinking of Ximen Swordsman.
Everything was perfect.
Ximen Swordsman was very satisfied with his performance. The steps he took through each layer were exactly the same as he had calculated, without any mistakes.
The time he used was also very precise. Continuing at this pace, his ranking would certainly surpass Ouyang Yudu, who was currently the first.
"Congratulations on completing the Realm King Tower trial. Your total time is one minute and fifty-four seconds. You can leave your name on the Realm King Tower. May I know your name?"
"Being strong is just that simple. It's even faster than I expected by five seconds. Easily ranking first, it's too easy. There's no challenge at all." After taking the reward and hearing the voice inside the Realm King Tower, Ximen Swordsman casually replied, "Swordsman."
"Swordsman is added to the Realm King Tower. Based on your time, your current rank is second. Goodbye," the voice from inside the Realm King Tower sounded again.
"Second… Are you kidding me… One minute and fifty-four seconds… Should be the first… Ouyang Yudu took two minutes and ten seconds, right…" Ximen Swordsman wore a look of astonishment, though he had already been teleported out of the Realm King Tower.
"How could it be second? I remember Ouyang Yudu indeed took longer than him."
"Such a beautiful clearance, I feel it's already the limit, definitely first, the Realm King Tower scoring system must have made a mistake."
"Each level was almost perfectly passed, without any time wasted, definitely first."
"It has to be first, faster than Ouyang Yudu, if there's no mistake I will eat the Realm King Tower."
The spectators also felt that Ximen Swordsman should be first, not second.
Ximen Swordsman stood in front of the Realm King Tower, looking up at the names engraved on the tower. Upon clearly seeing the rankings, he was momentarily taken aback.
The spectators who saw the ranking were also stunned. The name "Swordsman" was indeed in the second position. However, the first place wasn't Ouyang Yudu, who was now ranked third, indeed lower than Ximen Swordsman.
The name in the first position was strikingly "The Great Red Bull Knight," which was naturally Lin Shen.
Lin Shen just wanted to claim a reward and didn't wish to be too conspicuous, so of course, he would not use his real name.
Since he did not enter through the Realm King apparatus and there was no live broadcast footage of him, it also wouldn't be suitable to use the name "Tian," as that could cause trouble for Tiancheng, with others thinking Tiancheng had a way to bypass the broadcast.
After some thought, Lin Shen remembered that someone had once nicknamed him with that title. Moreover, no one knew that The Great Red Bull Knight was him, so he directly used that name.
"The Great Red Bull Knight... he has appeared again… and actually won the top ranking in the Realm King Tower..."
"One minute and thirty-four seconds, damn, how could he be so fast? Even just running up there without battling would take that long, right?"
"I knew The Great Red Bull Knight was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong."
"Wait a minute, why isn't there any footage of The Great Red Bull Knight? When did he go up the tower?"
"The Great Red Bull Knight has never been live broadcasting, it's been said before, he must not be Human, too scared to even show his face, can't be wrong."
"The Great Red Bull Knight must be Human, otherwise how could he have saved Mo Shengqi and others back then?"
A question that had ceased to be a major topic of discussion was brought back up by the crowd, all speculating whether The Great Red Bull Knight was truly Human.
Ximen Swordsman looked at the name and time on the tower, his expression not very pleasant.
He thought he had done everything perfectly, yet there was someone who was even faster than him, and by so many seconds no less.
Ximen Swordsman knew in his heart that even if he tried again, he would definitely not be able to surpass The Great Red Bull Knight's record.
"Why is my luck so bad recently? Digging up an egg, I met a fierce opponent; trying to storm a tower, I encountered another oddball. Who exactly is this Great Red Bull Knight?" Ximen Swordsman pondered, then suddenly thought, "Damn it, could it be the same person?"
The more Ximen Swordsman thought about it, the more he believed it to be possible. Others thought that the fierce man from the sand-shell was already dead, but he didn't think so. -original
With such cunning, how could he easily perish together with others? Therefore, he was convinced that the fierce man had definitely not died.
Considering further that both the fierce man and The Great Red Bull Knight had no broadcast footage, he increasingly felt that these two could be the same person.
Unfortunately, he had no way to prove it, only hoping for a chance to encounter The Great Red Bull Knight and then confirm his suspicion.
Today, the name The Great Red Bull Knight spread like wildfire across the world, claiming the top spot in the rankings, yet no one knew the extent of The Great Red Bull Knight's capabilities, nor had anyone seen him in action.
