Wen Xishu said:
"I heard from Senior Xun that principal, your most beloved sequence is Slaughter Sequence 198: Ultimate Punch?"
Albert laughed:
"Yes, I like this simple sequence. I think sequences that are too complex are not conducive to development."
Wen Xishu nodded in full agreement:
"Yes, exactly. So in the process of expanding the sequence, you’ve really trained your hands to be very powerful."
Albert said:
"Hmm... that’s also true. My hands are indeed the strongest part of my body."
Wen Xishu asked again:
"But the Ultimate Punch doesn’t hold much significance for you anymore, does it? You’ve already honed it to perfection."
Albert still nodded:
"That’s true. So, my good student, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Wen Xishu smiled even brighter:
"There’s an old saying, you must train your legs when working out; if you don’t train your legs, you’ll end up impotent in the future. Now, there’s a great sequence that can help you train your legs to the human limit."
"I just happened to obtain it, Slaughter Sequence 199: Ultimate Kick."
"How about I trade my Ultimate Kick for your Ultimate Punch... what do you think?"
Xun Hui couldn’t hold back a chuckle.
This kid really dropped a sequence, and it happened to be such a "fateful" one.
Albert also burst into hearty laughter:
"This is indeed a tempting offer, but sorry, I’m too old. I don’t have enough life left to train my legs to that level, and impotence at my age... well, it doesn’t really matter. Hahahahaha! But I’d love to see you develop the Ultimate Kick to its full potential."
"I’ll try to gather and see if there are any suitable runes for you."
Well, the deal fell through.
Wen Xishu knew it was an unreliable trade, but he had to try just in case the old man wanted a change of pace.
Then, Wen Xishu said:
"Okay, principal, one last question. You believe the highest level of the Slaughter Tower is a hundred floors, right?"
Albert didn’t hesitate, shaking his head:
"I’m not sure. Personally, I think there are higher levels, but my partner believes that once we clear a hundred floors, humans will enter the true world."
Everyone became serious.
For them, they were in the presence of the ultimate expert, and now this expert was discussing some of the most ultimate topics.
Wen Xishu asked:
"So... there’s a disagreement? Do you think that with your partner, you both could break through the hundredth floor?"
Albert nodded:
"He’s an excellent teammate. I miss the days of conquering new lands with him. With him by my side, we could accomplish anything."
"But due to differing beliefs, he refuses to help me break through the hundredth floor. If he were here, I’m confident that together, we could kill any boss or overlord in the current version."
Albert’s face showed a fleeting look of nostalgia, then he laughed heartily:
"But with the timeline moving forward, new challenges may appear. I think I could find new joys, so I won’t push him for now."
"Maybe after I explore the new content, he’ll also reconsider."
Wen Xishu guessed that this partner must be Xiaojin’s grandfather. And not long ago... Xun Hui killed the third division chief, not only to help himself and push for the Deceit Tower Assault Team’s formation but also as a test of an old friend.
...
...
The conversation didn’t last much longer. After asking all the necessary questions, Albert and Wen Xishu tacitly ended the talk.
Albert still had to discuss matters with the second division chief of the Security Bureau, and Wen Xishu planned to take a rest before starting his sixth Tower climb.
Thus, the conversation ended, and Xiaojin, Wen Xishu, and the others returned to the dormitory. Xun Hui went back to the Xun Family to deal with some issues.
After returning to the dormitory, Yue Yun said:
"Wenxun... you’ve explored the Deceit Tower a few times, right?"
Wen Xishu nodded:
"Yes, several times."
Yue Yun continued:
"So, the reason you can see those words at the top of the library is because you’ve been to the Deceit Tower... Nissen and I can’t decipher the shadows’ words because our Anti-Magic Values aren’t high enough?"
Wen Xishu didn’t expect that the silent one had such connection capabilities.
"Exactly. Please keep this a secret."
Yue Yun seriously said:
"Don’t worry, I’m good at keeping secrets. Now that Senior Xun has taken us to the Slaughter Tower, the entire academy knows about it."
"No one will suspect that you’re actually climbing the Deceit Tower instead of the Slaughter Tower. And with the academy’s new rule of double points for the Deceit Tower..."
"I’m thinking your points might have already far surpassed Miyamoto Yishu’s."
Wen Xishu responded seriously:
"He has never been my imaginary enemy, nor should he be yours."
Yue Yun understood the implication:
"Thank you, I get it. From now on, my target is Senior Xun. By the way, are you going to check out the top of the library tonight?"
Wen Xishu shook his head:
"I plan to wait until my Anti-Magic Value exceeds 50 before checking it out again to avoid just seeing a little bit each time."
Yue Yun actually wanted to ask if Wen Xishu was also related to it. But thinking that might be intrusive, he changed the question:
"So, what are you planning to do next?"
Wen Xishu said:
"I plan to head to the storage area to adjust some items, then head to the Deceit Tower."
Nissen suddenly spoke, inquiring:
"Bro, when you say next, you mean tomorrow right? Not now, right?"
