All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 405 Climbing the Tower
"What's going on! Where is this?!"

Suddenly, Wu Xun found himself moving from the moonlit street to a brightly lit meadow with a scent of earth. The hundreds of people who had surrounded him just now also disappeared. The situation was extremely strange.

Just as he was wondering whether he had encountered the powerful illusion of the Demon Sect, an illusory voice sounded around him.

"The tenth level of the Holy Tower trial... every time you pass a level... there will be a reward..."

The voice made it difficult for him to tell whether it was a man or a woman or how old the person was, and he couldn't find the source of the sound, but it answered the question in his mind just now.

"The Holy Tower Trial... Was I chosen by that tower? Am I in the tower now?"

He suddenly became more alert, and a faint golden light appeared all over his body. This was a sign of him using all his strength to activate the Wuji Golden Body Technique.

Just as he was wondering what the content of this Holy Tower Trial would be, a tall and ferocious figure suddenly appeared on the grass in front of him. It spread out its four legs and pounced towards him fiercely.

"Wolf? It's quite big, maybe a different species."

As an elite warrior and the chief disciple of the Wuji Sect, Wu Xun naturally had no reason to be afraid of a wolf. Even though this wolf looked huge and was suspected to be the alien species rumored in the world, he was not afraid at all.

Just as the ferocious beast pounced in front of him at an extraordinary speed, he suddenly moved his body while standing steadily, nimbly avoiding the wolf's kiss and sharp claws that suddenly attacked him. Then he swung his right fist wrapped in golden light and hit the side of the wolf's head hard, causing the beast's head to be severely deformed in an instant. His body was thrown out in the direction of his force and rolled more than ten meters on the grass.

"Ow~"

Then, he heard the last groan of the giant wolf, which fell to the ground in an instant. Under his gaze, the wolf turned into a speck of light and disappeared, leaving only an object and a wooden ladder leading to the upper level not far away.

"This is……"

Curious, Wu Xun immediately walked over, bent down and picked up the thing on the grass.

"Hand clothes?"

He judged that this was probably a pair of hands, or gloves, because it had the shape of an ordinary human hand, but the style was very different from what he had seen in his life, and it seemed to be made of special leather.

What’s even more amazing is that when he looked at the gloves, lines of text immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Sensitive Gauntlets (Excellent)]

[When you wear this pair of gloves, in addition to getting good hand protection, your agility attribute will also increase by two points. ]

"What a strange text..."

He looked at the words in front of him with some confusion for a moment, because their wording was very different from what he had learned since he was a child. Although he recognized every word and seemed to be able to understand them together, it gave him a very awkward feeling.

But he at least understood half of it and roughly guessed that the words were the description of the item in his hand. This experience was quite novel to him and made him start wearing it involuntarily.

Of course, his vigilance did not decrease. As a physical warrior practicing Wuji Jinshen Gong, he maintained the golden light defense on his hands. If there was any problem with the gloves, it would certainly not hurt him.

So within two seconds, someone who had just put on the sensitive gauntlet let out a slight exclamation:

"My body... underwent some slight changes? Was it caused by this gauntlet?"

He immediately raised his hands and looked at the exquisite leather gloves made of unknown material, his heart filled with surprise.

This is because as an elite warrior, he understands himself far better than ordinary people. Even the slightest changes in his own qi and blood cannot escape his perception. Therefore, when he found that his body suddenly became a little more sensitive, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

You know, this is the progress he has experienced at the current bottleneck period of his cultivation, which is extremely precious.

Trying to take the gloves off again, he found that the sudden improvement in his body disappeared instantly, which completely confirmed this fact.

"Humph, it's just a little external object."

He suddenly snorted and uttered a self-muttering with a bit of contempt.

But his next behavior completely betrayed him. He put on the sensitive gauntlet again without hesitation, and no longer maintained the golden light defense on his palm. Instead, he wrapped the outside of the glove with golden light, as if he attached some importance to this gain.

"Ten levels of trials... there will be rewards for each level passed... I think I understand what's going on."

At this stage, he had basically formed a basic understanding of the pattern of the holy tower, and immediately walked towards the wooden stairs leading to the next level with a bit of vigilance and expectation.

A few seconds later, Wu Xun walked up the wooden ladder into a spacious room with dim light, where three figures holding sickles, pitchforks and axes were waiting for him.

Judging from the tattered linen clothes these three people were wearing, they looked like villagers from a mountain village in a poor and remote place. They were full of hostility and looked ferocious, and were more threatening than the giant wolf on the first level.

"Come together! Kill him!"

When Wu Xun's figure was about ten feet away from the three men, the one holding the axe immediately roared and encouraged the other two to rush towards him together.

But Wu Xun felt speechless facing this situation, because he could tell at a glance that these three people had no cultivation and were just farmhands.

This immediately caused him to stop the golden light defense running throughout his body, and he chose to rely on his most basic martial arts and physical strength to deal with it without wasting a single cent of his skills.

boom! boom! boom!
Three dull noises were heard in succession from this relatively spacious enclosed room.

If someone else was watching here, they would have noticed that the three vicious villagers who had just rushed towards Wu Xun were all evaded by him with their weapons with incredible agility, and then dealt with at once with quick and precise punches and kicks. Without even a scream, they were all knocked flying into the wall to meet their death. It could be described as a crushing blow.

But Wu Xun didn't care about this battle which was not even a warm-up. He watched the bodies of the three vicious villagers turn into light and dissipate. His eyes were fixed on a strange object that suddenly appeared on the ground.

[Healing Potion (Excellent)]

[After drinking this potion, you will quickly heal the injuries below the severe level, and can also significantly alleviate the severe injuries. For near-fatal injuries, you will be free from the risk of death from the injury for a period of time.] "Is this medicine? It looks too strange."

After taking a closer look at the potion that seemed to be in the glass bottle with some curiosity, Wu Xun chose to put it in his pocket for future use.

Soon, he reached a higher level through the newly appeared ladder, and this time, he finally encountered a group of slightly decent enemies.

There were three bandits lying in ambush in a forest. They were all wearing cloth armor and holding broadswords. Their attack movements and the timing of their sword strikes were quite methodical. It was obvious that they were people who had practiced martial arts. Even if their cultivation was not high, they were no match for some country bumpkin.

But facing this group of enemies, Wu Xun still did not use his full strength to use the golden light to protect his body. He spent two seconds longer than before and sent all these enemies to the west, while he himself was still unharmed.

This time, what appeared in his eyes was a pair of wrist guards, and the quality seemed to be better than before.

[Troll Bracers (Rare)]

[After wearing this pair of wrist guards, your strength attribute will increase by 4, and at the same time, there is an additional 20% chance of triggering a critical hit when attacking in close combat, and a critical hit will cause double damage. ]

"Critical hit? Double? Interesting..."

Even though he couldn't fully understand the meaning of the text description, he roughly realized that this might be an item that suits him very well, so he immediately put it on his arms.

In an instant, just like when he put on the first layer of gloves, he felt his body undergoing subtle changes again, becoming a little stronger and more powerful. In addition to that, he could vaguely feel that there was a violent force accumulating in his body, waiting for the opportunity to burst out.

Very interested in experiencing this power, he immediately chose to go to the next level and met a new round of enemies.

He was a tall warrior wielding a long sword. He stood on a large stone square, staring at the visitor with a cold look.

Unlike the three bandits just now, this opponent gave Wu Xun a feeling of being more powerful as soon as they met. His intuition told him that this enemy's cultivation was not weak and he deserved to be taken seriously.

Then Wu Xun's whole body was instantly covered by protective golden light. He rushed towards the enemy in a flash and launched the powerful attack that he had practiced for many years.

boom! boom! boom!
With the first punch, he used his fist wrapped in golden light to counter the enemy's swiftly chopped sword, knocking the enemy back half a foot and almost letting the sword slip out of his hand.

With the second punch, he moved closer to the opponent with explosive steps, hoping to finish him off with a powerful blow, but the opponent dodged and blocked it with his sword, and used the force of the confrontation to create a little distance between them.

For the third punch, Wu Xun approached him again, first with a feint to force him to dodge, then taking advantage of the opportunity when he moved, he kicked fiercely in the direction of his movement, successfully forcing his opponent to lose his balance.

The fourth punch, the enemy who couldn't dodge in time could only take Wu Xun's fierce punch. He wanted to block with his sword again to get away, but Wu Xun happened to trigger the critical strike state, and the power of his punch increased dramatically, directly breaking the enemy's sword and body, with a big dent on his chest, and turned into specks of light and disappeared without a trace.

"This arm guard is really something that cannot be underestimated! With it, my strength has increased by at least 20%!"

For the first time, Wu Xun was shocked by the item he obtained. If the previous sensitive gauntlet made him feel a little surprised, this wristband with critical strike effect made him feel as if he had seen an exclusive artifact.

Because the Wuji Jinshen Gong he practiced has always been good at defense but lacks offensive means, the critical strike effect added by this pair of wrists can greatly improve this, allowing his explosive power to instantly increase to a level that the enemy can hardly predict, catching the opponent off guard.

"The Demonic… Holy Tower is indeed very magical. I must complete this trial well!"

After confirming that he had made huge gains, Wu Xun immediately became more excited about the next trial. He hurriedly checked his gains on this level.

[Wind Sword (Excellent)]

[This sword is very sharp, and every time you hit an enemy, you gain a layer of Gale effect, which increases your sword swing attack speed by half. The Gale can be stacked up to five times, but if you don't hit an enemy within a short period of time, the effect will disappear completely.]

"What a pity, it should be a good sword, but I am not good at using swords."

Wu Xun thought about it and picked up the weapon, then walked towards the wooden ladder to a higher level.

After that, he fought his way to the tenth floor, and obtained scrolls, armor, turbans and even some fruits he had never seen before. These things were all of excellent level and had a certain effect on him but could not bring about the qualitative effect like the Troll Wristguard. However, it also made him understand that the types of rewards in the Holy Tower were much richer than he imagined, and not every reward would be suitable for him.

Finally, he met the strongest enemy he had ever encountered during this tower climbing on the tenth floor, a masked demon woman.

This woman practiced a very vicious magic claw skill. Her movements were so fast that it was difficult for people to react. She was also cunning and her attacks were unpredictable. As a result, Wu Xun was constantly being pulled back and forth and beaten unilaterally by her in the early stages. Even though he tried his best, the battle was still full of difficulties and dangers.

After fighting for half an hour, he finally exhausted the power of this powerful enemy and seized the opportunity to kill him. He was so tired that he almost fell down. The golden light protecting his body had long been consumed, the armor he was wearing was completely scrapped, and his physique that had been trained for many years was also seriously injured.

But Wu Xun did not reject this feeling at all. On the contrary, he enjoyed the exciting and real confrontation just now. It was an experience he had never had in his many years of training.

"It would be great if I could fight such a strong enemy every day. Then my strength would surely increase rapidly... cough cough... I seem to be a little greedy. Today's battle will be enough for me to digest for a long time..."

Wu Xun, who fell to the ground with wounds all over his body, immediately began to check the harvest from the last floor and found a silver ruby ​​necklace, the properties of which were quite suitable for him.

[Bloodline Power (Rare)]

[When you wear this necklace, your strength, agility, and constitution will each increase by 4 points, and all speeds will increase by an additional 10%. ]

Satisfied, he then wore the gift around his neck, took out the healing potion he had obtained earlier, opened the lid and drank it, and witnessed with his own eyes that his injuries were completely healed within a few seconds.

"The potency of this medicine is not inferior to our sect's secret medicine, Tianyuan Dan. The treasures in the Holy Tower are indeed real... Then is Tianzun also a true Supreme God?"

With some respect for this magical place, Wu Xun stepped into the light gate that appeared after he passed the level and left the holy tower.

After a while, in another world that was extremely far away, Wang Zhifan also observed the scenes happening in the black tower and felt satisfied.

"The two senior disciples of Wuji Sect are indeed quite powerful. They both defeated the enemy at the bottom of the level based on Mo Ji. Even if I have taken care of their rewards along the way, it is still pretty good... I hope they can understand my good intentions and stop trying to make trouble."
