85: Chapter 85 The Great Dao Crystal

Riding the Ice Spirit Gryphon, Chi Anlin followed the map to the War God Tower.

From its exterior, the War God Tower appeared to have only nine levels, towering and magnificent, but in reality, the number of levels inside was far greater, reaching a total of one hundred.

The tower was covered in cracks, and beneath the giant structure, the White Spirit King was conversing with a white-bearded old man.

"White Spirit, is this the new War Body?"

The old man's eyes lit up when he saw Chi Anlin; this kid's physical body was surprisingly strong!

The White Spirit King nodded and smiled, "Does the Demon Subduing King have any thoughts?"

"The aptitude is not bad. If he could walk only my path of the physical body, his strength would surely far exceed what it is now."

"That won't do. After discussions among us, it is best for Chi Anlin to dual-cultivate as both a Beast Tamer and a Qi Cultivator."

Chi Anlin possessed the Ice Soul Battle Body, which was best matched with the path of a Qi Cultivator. Since Chi Anlin happened to be a Beast Tamer as well, the two complemented each other; even with dual cultivation, his advancement in realm would not be slower than other War Bodies.

However, if a Beast Tamer lacked strong mental power, they could easily be backlashed by their tamed beasts. It was unknown how this kid had trained his mental power, as it was far beyond his current stage.

The Demon Subduing King also knew of Chi Anlin's situation and couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity."

The Ice Spirit Gryphon landed on the ground, and Chi Anlin's gaze sharpened—another king.

"Greetings, two seniors."

Chi Anlin said respectfully.

The two had asked him to come here certainly for the purpose of challenging the tower, but Chi Anlin felt it would be better if they gave him his reward first, allowing him to learn the two king-level cultivation techniques in the Blood Energy Space before attempting the challenge.

For other geniuses, mastering king-level cultivation techniques might take a long time, but with the Blood Energy Space, Chi Anlin felt he should be able to comprehend them within half a month.

The Demon Subduing King stroked his long beard. This kid didn't seem to have any arrogance, but from the subtle movements of Chi Anlin's body, he could tell that Chi Anlin's body had developed a certain habit.

A habit of battle.

Even when facing the two of them, Chi Anlin remained vigilant; the moment anyone made a move, he would immediately flee.

Of course, given the massive gap in strength, fleeing was the best choice.

This kid must have experienced countless battles.

The more the Demon Subduing King thought about it, the more satisfied he became. He also sensed the faint killing intent overflowing from Chi Anlin's body. Although it was well-concealed, this was not a killing intent that could be cultivated by just killing a few hundred people.

Coming from a small county, how could he possess such dense killing intent?

"Kid, you have quite a few secrets. Now that your War Body has been announced, heading to the Otherworld will be very dangerous."

The Demon Subduing King's arm suddenly swelled, and the surrounding energy fluctuated. Soon, a crystal stone resembling a Demon Subduing Staff appeared in the air.

"This is a great dao crystal I condensed; it contains my full-strength strike."

After condensing this crystal, the Demon Subduing King's aura dipped slightly; this great dao crystal consumed a great deal of his energy, and he would need to rest for a period of time.

A great dao crystal could only be condensed by those at the king realm, and each great dao crystal could actually be regarded as an avatar of the king, containing a portion of the king's strength.

"The Demon Subduing King is truly decisive. Little Chi, the Demon Subduing King is no ordinary king. While this crystal might not directly kill a newly ascended king-realm cultivator, it would still deal them heavy damage."

The White Spirit King was also somewhat surprised, but thinking of the Demon Subduing King's personality, he felt relieved.

"Many thanks, Senior!"

Chi Anlin appeared somewhat excited and did not decline. The Demon Subduing King was mostly investing in him and appreciating him; to decline out of politeness would only be an insult to the king.

Chi Anlin did not use his Appraisal Technique on this item; who knew if the Appraisal Technique would cause any special fluctuations, and he knew without thinking that he definitely wouldn't be able to appraise it.

Seeing that Chi Anlin did not hesitate, the Demon Subduing King laughed heartily and patted his shoulder, "Go and challenge the War God Tower well. Someone I, the old man, value will not have a tower-clearing level lower than those other newly entered War Bodies, no matter what!"

Among the several War Bodies that entered this time, the Golden Rainbow War Body was only at the mortal rank eighth stage and reached 12 levels; the Heavenly Thunder War Body had half a foot into the First Realm and reached 16 levels; and that Bing Fa Battle Body had already reached the First Realm, First Stage upon entering the school, with a tower-clearing level as high as 28.

These were all their first times challenging the tower. Students who entered the Military University were all chosen from tens of thousands of candidates, and even so, when they first entered the school, their tower-clearing levels were basically around five levels.

Perhaps when some people first entered the school, their realms exceeded those of the War Bodies, but one had to know that the strength of many War Bodies did not lie in cultivation speed, but in combat power and comprehension of the great dao.

For example, the Ice Soul Battle Body; if no problems arose in the future, it would basically be certain to comprehend the Ice Great Dao.

Chi Anlin's realm was definitely the highest among the freshmen of his cohort.

"I will certainly live up to Senior's high expectations!"

Chi Anlin said immediately, feeling somewhat excited at the same time.

This great dao crystal was exactly what he needed. He had to go visit the Ant Queen in a few days. The uniqueness of the Ant Queen meant he definitely could not have a king escort him, so the great dao crystal could be considered an insurance policy.

As for the War God Tower, although he hadn't challenged it yet, Chi Anlin did not think other War Bodies could be stronger than him.

Looking at the description on the wristband, it wasn't about realm here, but about combat power—combat power in all aspects.

Even if other War Bodies had experienced battles since childhood, they definitely did not have as rich combat awareness as him. One had to know that in the Otherworld, Chi Anlin was basically immersed in the Blood Energy Space every day; he didn't need to recover from injuries and didn't need to worry about death, fighting battle after battle.

After chatting with the two kings for a while, Chi Anlin walked into the War God Tower.

His vision went dark, and a sensation similar to spatial teleportation appeared. The next second, Chi Anlin arrived in a very vast space.

A figure suddenly pounced over. Chi Anlin reflexively grabbed its neck, veins bulging on his hand, and pressed it into the ground in one motion.

Blood spilled out, and Chi Anlin saw clearly—wasn't this thing himself?

How could he be so weak?

At this moment, a surge of pure spiritual energy emerged in the space and entered Chi Anlin's body.

However, the amount was relatively small; for Chi Anlin, it could only be considered a drizzle.

"Did I pass the first level just like that?"

Chi Anlin sensed it; this thing's realm was one stage lower than his, but its actual strength was completely different from his own First Realm, First Stage.

If one were to describe it, it was like a First Realm, First Stage without any bonuses.

Outside the tower, seeing the mark indicating that Chi Anlin had passed the first level light up, the White Spirit King's mouth curled up in a smile that was not quite a smile, "Little Chi's speed in resolving the battle is quite fast. Quite a few people have suffered losses on this level."

Once one stepped into the War God Tower, the battle started immediately. Many students entering the War God Tower for the first time had suffered great losses; even if they weren't kicked out of the War God Tower, they would sustain certain injuries that would drag down their progress in clearing the tower.

In the War God Tower, the damage sustained was also real, but if one received a fatal injury, the student would be directly teleported out.
