Chapter 548 Part 40: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Outside,
The wizard groups are staring at the leaderboard rankings. Whenever there is an update. They immediately shared the news on the Academy's social media site.
While others are updating their higher-ups.
Taboo Hall:
Deep in the academy. The Taboo Hall powerhouse is listening to the latest news. For them, it's not a big deal to know about the Battle Tower.
The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows. Behind him, the female powerhouse keeps talking to him.
Both of them are aware of Vincent Carey's details. It was them who had a verbal clash with the Bloodline Hall Powerhouse sometime ago.
But after that, so many things have changed. Even the middle-aged man who was uninterested earlier. Started to reevaluate Vincent Carey.
"Elder, that kid is going to clear the 70th floor today," The female powerhouse said from behind.
Hearing that the middle-aged man sighed inwardly.
"What a talented kid?"
"But it's a pity. He is not one of us," He said to himself.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Instruct everyone that no one should act against that kid for the time being."
"I want to see what the bloodline hall is going to do?" He added further.
Right after, the female powerhouse disappeared like a shadow.
Bloodline Hall:
Vincent's ongoing performance not only made the Taboo Hall powerhouses rethink. But it also made changes in Bloodline Hall.
Both the Elder House and Council are in a state of panic. It's their responsibility to take care of the affairs of the Bloodline Hall.
But a single level-5 wizard made their reputation plummet. Especially they got their noses cut in front of their rivals.
And the person to blame was locked up in the dungeon. Like the Taboo Hall, they were also awaiting instructions from their powerhouse.
Among them, the black-dressed women were under stress. She didn't know whether she would get any punishment.
Because she is acting on behalf of someone else. The real mastermind is in the Council House.
Meanwhile,
Deep inside the academy space. The Bloodline Hall powerhouses are discussing the issue. Though many of them are present. But the decision was only for up to 7 people.
The 7 people are the strongest and oldest among the powerhouses.
Among them, one of the female powerhouses appeared to be angrier. Last time, she had a verbal confrontation with the Taboo Hall.
After that things aren't going smoothly. In her opinion, the wizard students in their hall were worthless.
No one is going against that Gravity Kid. Because of that, the kid is continuing to clear the Trials.
If this goes on, the Sub-Taboo Hall would surpass them in prestige.
"Is there anyone who can go against the kid?" She asked.
Hearing that the powerhouse behind her replied, "There are people. But those kids won't act without their family or clan's consent."
The female wizard furrowed her eyebrows. She realized the bloodline wizard families wouldn't offend the Sub-Taboo Hall for no reason.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Even though Bloodline Hall seems united outside. But still, there are many factions here.
Even though she belongs to one of the strong factions. Finally, she made the decision. Those families can't act without any rewards.
Looking at other powerhouses, she said, "Tell those families. The family responsible for that brat's death would gain a bloodline improvement potion."
A few minutes later,
The orders were sent down. Doesn't matter whether it's Council House or Elder House. Everyone was pumped by the news. Earlier, a small group of people acted against Vincent Carey.
Now there is a direct offer from the powerhouses. These people won't miss it. The black-dressed women were especially shocked to the core.
She didn't expect the powerhouse to take matters into their hands. Earlier, there was one person who was instructing her to do this.
Hereafter, others will act as well. The bloodline improvement potion is not ordinary. Since it's coming from the powerhouse. Its grade might be higher.
There is going to be a storm in the academy in the coming days.
Sub-Taboo Hall:
Gilbert Reese is looking at the screen. The leaderboard ranking is shown on the screen. Vincent's record is putting a smile on their face.
But at the same time, it would attract unknown dangers. After his brief chat with Elder Galvin, he came to know that the Academy is not simple.
The dean is just following the orders of the powerhouses. Elder Galvin heard that there are people stronger than the powerhouses.
But they won't interfere in academy affairs for a level-5 wizard. Those people are responsible for the academy's protection.
Sigh~
A sigh escaped from his mouth.
"Looks like not only Vincent, everyone else needs to become a level-10 wizard. Only then can they be able to protect the Sub-Taboo Hall's interest," Gilbert said in his heart.
Elder Galvin also asked him not to tell Vincent and Carlina about this. Because their level is too low.
Then his gaze shifted back to the LeaderBoard Rankings.
...
From MC's perspective:
After clearing the consecutive floors, I'm waiting for the 70th floor to appear. In the meantime, I decided to recover my strength.
I drank the recovery potion and began to circulate the energy inside my body.
A few minutes later,
Floor: 70
I found myself standing in the desert. Right after, I started looking for solid ground. The only place that flame foxes can be found resting there is on solid ground.
After crossing the dune, I came across the solid ground. But I saw 2 monsters taking naps.
Seeing that I decided to probe their strength first.
"System, probe the monster in front of me," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host's voice is recognized]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Evil Flame Fox]
[Level: 6th-Order- Mid]
[Strength: 557]
[Vitality: 556]
[Speed: 558]
[Stamina: 554]
[Skill: Fire breath, Fast Speed, Deadly Claws, Evil Gaze]
A row of information appeared in my eyes. Then I checked the strength of the next monster. Which has similar stats as well.
Suddenly, one of the monsters opened his eyes and looked at me. Right after, both of them stood up from the ground and started approaching me.
