C142 Tower of Survival

"Crack!"

A purplish black bolt of lightning appeared beside Li Yi without any warning and struck Li Yi's arm.

"Hiss!"

Li Yi couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air. His injured arm was scorched black, and he had completely lost consciousness.

"What powerful lightning!"

Li Yi possessed the Lightning Spirit Body, yet he was actually injured by this lightning. One could imagine that if it was anyone else, they would have been electrocuted into ashes by now.

Before Li Yi could think too much, another purplish black bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air and attacked Li Yi.

"Shua!"

Fortunately, Li Yi was prepared this time. He dodged and landed on the ground.

"Hmm? "Not good!"

As soon as he landed, Li Yi discovered that something was wrong. The yellow sand under his feet surged towards him, wrapping around his legs and trying to drag him into the ground.

Furthermore, Li Yi discovered that the yellow sand contained a terrifying corrosive force. In just a short moment, Li Yi's shoes and socks had already been corroded to nothing. A scorching pain came from between his legs.

"Five Elements Thousand Jin Pendant!"

Since it was yellow sand, then it must be formed from the gathering of earth spirit energy. There might be some other spirit energy mixed in, but the main component must be earth spirit energy. The earth type movement technique of the Five Elements Movement Technique was undoubtedly the best method to deal with such a situation.

Li Yi's judgement was very correct. The earth spirit energy in the yellow sand was being continuously extracted and gathered at Li Yi's feet. Without the support of the earth spirit energy, the yellow sand that was originally wrapped around Li Yi's legs suddenly dispersed.

"Hu!"

Li Yi heaved a sigh of relief as he stepped on the floating soil layer that was formed by gathering earth spirit energy and started to observe his surroundings.

It was still the same as the first time he saw it. The seemingly harmless sky and desert, but Li Yi did not dare to have that kind of thought anymore.

This seemingly peaceful environment was filled with hidden murderous intent. It would not be an exaggeration to say that each step he took was a trap.

"No wonder they say that the failure rate for rookies is 99%. Even I nearly lost!"

Li Yi observed the surrounding environment as he circulated his primeval essence to heal his injuries. With his powerful recovery abilities in the Wanxiang Body, it took him no less than a quarter of an hour to heal the injuries on his arms and legs.

"I can't see any traps at all!"

After observing for a long time, Li Yi did not discover anything special. However, after what happened just now, he discovered a few areas filled with lightning. "Purple black lightning can appear in the sky, without any warning signs. It's too dangerous. You can't leave from the sky!"

"The corrosive yellow sand on the ground is very strong, and I don't know where it will sink, so I can't go. It seems like I can only fly low above the ground."

After making up his mind, Li Yi stuck close to the ground and slowly flew towards the oasis. He didn't dare to fly too fast, because he didn't know what dangers would appear.

Flying close to the ground was indeed the best choice. They were almost at the oasis, and Li Yi didn't encounter any more danger. His tensed mind gradually relaxed.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he relaxed his mind, a rock in front of him suddenly exploded, and thorns that flickered with a cold light pierced towards Li Yi's body one after another.

"Oh no, the Myriad Manifestation Heaven Breaking Fist!"

It was already too late to dodge, let alone the earthen spikes that covered the skies.

After a series of collisions, the earth spikes dispersed one by one. Li Yi's fist force was also completely offset. Li Yi took this opportunity to leap over and step onto the ground of the oasis.

"What a powerful earth spike! I feel like it's even more powerful than a high-grade earth-step treasure. Even my Myriad God Fist Art was only barely able to break through it!"

Li Yi wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and walked forward.

The next level of the desert was on the other side of the oasis. As long as they could safely pass through the oasis and the lakes, they would have passed through this level of the Tower of Survival.

However, was there any danger in the oasis?

After experiencing a series of shocking events, Li Yi no longer dared to lower his guard against this seemingly harmless environment.

In fact, if one carefully thought about it, all of the traps and attacks were not without warning or trace. Every time before the trap was triggered, and every time an attack was launched, there would be a slight fluctuation. If one were to sense it carefully, they should be able to respond in time.

Calming his mind, Li Yi sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding environment as he slowly walked towards the next entrance.

"Eh?"

Suddenly, a slight fluctuation came from the space to the right. Li Yi's heart tightened as the Four Great Divine Punisher Swords appeared in his hands.

"Shua!"

A vine suddenly coiled around Li Yi from a tree to the side.

Li Yi waved the four Divine Punishers in his hands and slashed at the vines.

"Such great strength!"

The vines had been cut off, but Li Yi's hands were also numb from the rebound. However, he was happy that he had grasped a method to deal with the trap. As long as he could sense the attack in advance, with his strength, successfully blocking or dodging the trap attack would not be a problem.

The oasis was no less dangerous than the desert, or more accurately speaking, it was much more dangerous.

In this short journey, he had already encountered more than ten attacks, each one so sudden and unbelievable. If Li Yi had not grasped how to deal with the incoming attacks and detected the direction of the incoming attacks through the slight fluctuations of space, he would have been out of the picture long ago.

The most dangerous time was when they passed the lake. The entire lake surface suddenly froze into ice without any warning. If Li Yi hadn't detected and dodged it in time, he probably would have already become an ice sculpture in the lake.

Li Yi had felt that cold air before. With his current abilities, he could still endure it for a short period of time. But as time passed, he would definitely freeze to death.

"Phew, what a strange Tower of Survival, I've finally passed!"

Standing at the entrance to the next floor, Li Yi let out a long sigh, "This is only the first floor! The more time passes, the more difficult it will be. I really don't know how these senior students managed to get through, but the academy is truly filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons! "

Sighing, Li Yi walked into the door of light.

With a flash of white light, Li Yi appeared on the second floor of the Tower of Survival.

This time, they were outside of a forest, and the map that appeared in his mind indicated that the exit was right in the middle of the forest. In other words, no matter which direction Li Yi entered from, he had to pass through half of the forest to reach the entrance to the third floor.

Since that was the case, there was nothing left for him to hesitate about.

Li Yi took a deep breath and slowly walked into the forest.

Everything seemed very calm, no different from an ordinary forest. However, Li Yi already had the experience of the first level, so he wouldn't think this was an ordinary forest.

Often, the safer and more harmless something looked, the more dangerous it was.

For example, the beautiful flower beside him suddenly swelled up dozens of times in an instant. The flower bud was filled with sharp teeth shining with a cold light. It bit towards Li Yi, wanting to swallow him whole.

"Wanxiang Origin Sword, rise!"

"A sword strike to sever the soul!"

"One sword shatter reincarnation!"

"Sky Piercing Sword!"

It was impossible to break through the flower's defense with a simple chop. Li Yi could only use the Wanxiang Origin Sword. The violent and sharp sword qi finally broke the flower into pieces.

Li Yi threw two pills into his mouth and sat down to recover his primeval essence.

Li Yi had a strong feeling that he had not mastered enough moves!

Before entering the Tower of Life, Li Yi was very satisfied with his attack. Among the same level, other than Zhao Zilong, no one else had been able to block his attack.

However, in the Tower of Survival, Li Yi increasingly discovered that he had not mastered his moves to the limit. His attacks had not reached their strongest point, and his energy was not concentrated enough. Many of them had been wasted.

For example, the Wanxiang Origin Sword. Although it looked like a beautiful sword Qi, most of the energy had been wasted. The true attack power of the sword was less than 30% of the enemy's.

If he could collect all the wasted energy, then his attack power would be greatly increased.

It seemed that he would need to train more in the future to improve his control!

Li Yi's true essence had already been fully recovered. He stood up and continued to walk towards the center of the forest.

The deeper they went, the more traps and attacks there were, suddenly becoming bigger, with strange flowers with sharp teeth, vines with super strong corrosive abilities, small, yet highly poisonous flying insects, and the unknown land that would fall down, all of it made Li Yi's hair stand on end.

However, despite his headache, Li Yi could still feel his progress.

Because when dealing with traps and attacks, Li Yi was very careful to control the release of energy, trying his best to not let the energy spill out. Gradually, Li Yi felt his control over his current unique moves become stronger, and their might also increased.

Of course, it was also because of his distractions controlling his energy that Li Yi was almost killed several times. Fortunately, he had a Wanxiang Body, so his body's resistance and recovery ability were both extremely strong.

"Let's call it a day. I've barely passed the second floor, so trying to reach the third floor is just a waste of time. Let's wait until I've solved the problems I've discovered before continuing with the tower!"

Standing on the third floor, Li Yi hesitated for a moment and chose to give up. With a flash of white light, he disappeared from the Tower of Life and reappeared outside of the tower.

Looking at his jade slip, he had obtained a total of 3000 points. Li Yi was overjoyed. This was enough for him to attempt the tower many times, and even Dugu Ming's was enough.

Moreover, the biggest reward this time was not the points reward, but Li Yi's discovery of his own shortcomings and the direction of his hard work for a period of time.

Immortal cultivation wasn't just about raising one's cultivation, strengthening one's soul, or developing one's own potential. To maximize one's own strength was also very important.
