No problem. Your junior brother is honest. He lost yet gave me his sword. A talented person." Lin Dong replied with a smile.
"You… I didn't give it… he did…" Cao Zhu's face turned pale, but Liu Long stopped him.
"Heh, Brother Lin Dong, the Ice Mystic Sword is my junior brother's favorite. For my sake, please return it to him." Liu Long maintained a smile, confident Lin Dong wouldn't offend him.
Lin Xuan glanced at Liu Long, thinking this one might trigger the system.
"System, create task: defeat Liu Long in the Symbolist Tower."
…
Seconds passed. No response.
"Trash!" Lin Xuan muttered.
"What did you say?"
Liu Long's face filled with anger.
"I said you're trash! Trying to look tough? Step aside." Lin Xuan said disdainfully.
Disappointed, he ignored Liu Long.
"You… fine. Let's see if you stay arrogant in the Tower." Liu Long's face reddened with fury, then he walked away with Cao Zhu.
The system didn't even recognize him; Lin Xuan didn't care.
Liu Long was self-important, his junior caused trouble and damaged someone else's sword, yet he expected to keep it. Such double standards.
Yan City would not be dominated by Tianhuo City's arrogance.
Lin Xuan treated him as a gift.
Soon, Yan Xuan and the guild leaders arrived.
Tianhuo City's Guild Leader, Han Yun, a Fourth Seal Symbolist, led the group.
"Notice the one behind Han Yun? That's Zhou Tong," Zi Yue whispered.
Lin Xuan looked over. The man wore a simple black robe, ordinary-looking, with thick eyebrows. His aura was restrained, hiding his true strength.
Yet Tianhuo City's symbolists treated him with respect, even arrogant Liu Long stood behind him.
"Everyone, the rules are clear: reach the highest level and persist longest to win."
Yan Xuan, as host, stepped forward.
"I advise all: measure your strength, don't overreach."
"Now, the Symbolist Tower is open!"
Yan Xuan moved toward the tower. Three symbolists followed.
Powerful spiritual waves surged from their bodies, lifting them off the ground, hovering several feet in the air.
Their spiritual energy hit the sealed stone doors, forming a light imprint in a carved slot.
"Buzz…"
The doors trembled and slowly cracked open, releasing an overwhelming spiritual wave.
Weaker symbolists staggered backward.
Lin Xuan and the others swayed, amazed at the immense spiritual pressure just from opening the doors.
Everyone stared at the Symbolist Tower. For symbolists, this was a precious training ground; a day inside could exceed a month outside.
With the doors fully open, Yan Xuan announced,
"The Tower Duel begins!"
Upon hearing this, the symbolists surged forward.
Lin Xuan, unfazed, smirked and created multiple tasks...
[Task: Surpass Zhou Tong in the Tower Duel. Reward: One bottle of grade-seven Spirit Gathering Pills.]
[Task: Reach the seventh level of the Symbolist Tower. Reward: One bag of grade-seven Spirit Nourishing Pills.]
[Task: Reach the eighth level. Reward: Intermediate Array Talent.]
[Task: Reach the ninth level. Reward: Intermediate Sword Technique Talent.]
[Task: Achieve first place in the Tower Duel. Reward: Spirit +2, Comprehension +2, Fortune +2.]
After establishing his tasks, Lin Xuan soared into the Symbolist Tower.
The moment he entered, an intense spiritual pressure hit him, invisible yet overwhelming, instantly enveloping his body.
"Such pure spiritual energy… I can even absorb it directly."
Lin Xuan was slightly surprised. He had absorbed Gu Ying's spiritual energy before, but compared to that, the energy here was far purer.
The Tianxuan Symbol Seal in his Mud Pellet Palace transformed into a whirlpool, automatically drawing in the spiritual energy, refining the seal further.
"The first floor is already this effective… imagine higher floors."
Lin Xuan's heart surged with anticipation.
"Come on, the energy above is even stronger," Zi Yue said with a smile as she approached him.
With that, she stepped inside.
In the center of the first floor was a staircase, guarded by a spiritual barrier.
"Hum!"
Zi Yue enveloped herself in spiritual energy, passing through the barrier effortlessly.
Many others stopped at the staircase, intimidated by the barrier, unable to push forward easily.
Lin Xuan's massive spiritual energy flowed from his Mud Pellet Palace, surrounding his entire body. One stride later, he climbed to the second floor, leaving the envious onlookers behind.
Lin Dong followed closely.
On the second floor, there were far fewer people.
"Brother Lin Xuan, your spiritual energy is growing so fast!" Lin Dong said excitedly.
Both had cultivated the Tianxuan Symbol Seal, automatically absorbing and refining spiritual energy. Even doing nothing, their growth here outpaced everyone else.
"Let's keep moving upward," Lin Xuan replied, his heart energized. Judging from the tower, reaching Fourth Seal Symbolist level wouldn't be a problem.
