The person in front of him is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his eyebrows are so thick that they seem to be two brushes, a pair of small eyes are bright, and he is dressed very similar to Xian Yu Xiuzhu's gang.

Moreover, his strength is a second-order martial saint, and he is no longer considered a weakling.

"My name is Yuan Hengying," replied the other man, "and I am the youngest of the five deacons of our outer court. If you don't mind, you can call me Senior Brother Yuan. ”

"Very good," Lin Chen nodded, "Senior Brother Yuan, tell me, what is the situation of the 'Purgatory Tower'?"

"No problem," Yuan Hengying said generously, "Actually, there are several 'Purgatory Towers' in our academy, and the difficulty is not the same, which is used to assess the strength of the disciples. Why is it called this name, because the ancestor who founded the academy once said, 'Heroes have come out of purgatory since ancient times'!"

"Not bad. Lin Chen nodded.

Presumably, this ancestor is also a person with a story.

"Each 'Purgatory Tower' usually has nine floors," Hara explained, "and the difficulty of each floor is constantly increasing. Generally speaking, those who can pass through the fourth layer or more are considered to have passed, and those who can break through the ninth layer are the elite of the elite. ”

"I see, please lead the way. Lin Chen said.

Although he knew that Yuan Hengying was ordered to make things difficult for him, Lin Chen didn't mind.

With such a small character, there is no need to argue.

Yuan Hengying led Lin Chen and walked towards a dark tower.

From a distance, the tower had an eerie shape, like a terrifying claw poked out of an underground troll, with knotted muscles and barbs.

It has a black base and is sprinkled with blood-red marks. Moreover, the "Purgatory Tower" has no windows, only a single entrance, and is still closed.

"Presumably, the junior brother already knows that this tower is used to assess the disciples of the inner courtyard, and the difficulty is much higher than that of the outer courtyard, you should be careful yourself. Yuan Hengying added.

There was also a hint of regret in his eyes.

Such a talented junior has actually offended the top of the school, and I am afraid that he will soon fall here.

Lin Chen sensed the other party's thoughts, and was still calm and calm.

Zhou Honglin really wanted to take the opportunity to kill him, and the means were very insidious, but how could Lin Chen let that old dog get his wish.

"I want to ask, what is the original record of breaking through the nine-story tower?" Lin Chen asked.

"Well, let me look it up. Yuan Hengying said embarrassedly.

He is a deacon of the outer court, and he doesn't know much about the various situations of the "Purgatory Tower" in the inner court.

Soon, Yuan Hengying used his divine thoughts to communicate with his brothers and sisters, and got a specific number.

"Awesome!" Yuan Hengying said enviously, "The one who broke this record is one of our twelve saints, Zhou Qingyun, the sixth prince." When he entered the academy that year, he directly participated in the assessment, and in a quarter of an hour, he refreshed the previous record, and the academy rewarded him with 10,000 contribution points. ”

"Oh?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows.

That's a bit of a lot of information.

It means that after Zhou Qingyun came in back then, he directly skipped the threshold of miscellaneous disciples, and the disciples of the outer courtyard could impact the identity of the disciples of the inner court, and this starting point was very high.

In addition, according to Lin Chen's observation, Zhou Qingyun is indeed a genius among geniuses, and it takes him a quarter of an hour.

Isn't that saying that this "Purgatory Tower" is by no means as simple as it seems?

"If the junior brother can break through the highest layer and break the record, it will definitely shake the school, and there is definitely a reward, and 10,000 contribution points are indispensable. Yuan Hengying said casually.

In fact, he didn't believe that Lin Chen could do it, after all, Lin Chen was not even a disciple of the outer court, and his cultivation was only at the level of a grandmaster, and breaking through the fourth layer of immortality was already a great achievement.

You must know that the disciples of the inner court have basically reached the strength of a first-order martial saint or even a second-order martial saint.

"Really, let them get ready to contribute, and I'll come as I go. Lin Chen said calmly.

Yuan Hengying was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Lin Chen was still full of confidence.

In the end, does this newcomer really have the strength of the anti-heaven level, or is it pure stupid boldness? Yuan Hengying thought in his heart that it was most likely the latter.

"Then I wish my junior brother success!" Yuan Hengying said perfunctorily, and stepped forward to open the tower door.

Lin Chen's body moved, and he had already broken into the first layer.

Unexpectedly, the area of this layer is very large, about ten acres in size, and it is surrounded by dark fog, and the visibility is very low.

In the thick fog, suddenly, two pairs of fierce eyes the size of a sea bowl lit up, and the killing intent surged like a tide.

"It turned out to be this kind of thing!" Lin Chen sneered in his heart.

Although his eyes were sharp, he couldn't see far, but with the help of his divine thoughts, he immediately knew what he was facing.

It turned out to be two underground demon wolves, their size was almost the same as the red fire horse that Lin Chen had seen before, their hair was as black as ink, and their temperament was extremely ferocious.

Not only that, but the underground demon wolf was still a powerful demon beast comparable to a second-order martial saint.

From this point of view, the difficulty of breaking through the nine-story tower is indeed very high, and those with mediocre strength are estimated to be directly torn apart by these two demon beasts.

Under the cover of the dense fog, the two underground demon wolves suddenly outflanked and jumped directly to attack.

However, before they could pounce on Lin Chen, the whole thing had already turned into an ice sculpture.

Lin Chen's palm was erected, and his vitality turned into a long knife and cut in the air, killing the two murderous creatures immediately, turning into pieces all over the ground.

Lin Chen's speed increased to the limit, and he rushed straight to the entrance of the second layer.

Outside the "Purgatory Tower".

Several divine thoughts were paying attention to the situation, including Yuan Hengying.

"What? This is a bit extraordinary!" Yuan Hengying was shocked.

He had never seen a disciple break through the level so easily, it was like wandering leisurely in his own back garden.

Came to the second floor.

Lin Chen immediately sensed that there were also underground demon wolves here, but the number had suddenly increased to eight.

"Tsk, the difficulty has increased a bit bit, is it specially prepared for me?" Lin Chen smiled.

Dealing with two at the same time and dealing with eight at the same time is not a concept at all, and the danger is directly multiplied several times.

The underground demon wolves didn't hide their traces at all, and collectively rushed towards Lin Chen.

There was still a long distance away, and they had already jumped high, locking every flaw in Lin Chen's body.

"It's a good time!" Lin Chen smiled slightly, and an extreme chill bloomed all over his body again.

This group of underground demon wolves, as if they had been immobilized, were frozen at the same time.

Lin Chen grabbed one of them, and then shook it like a windmill, and the muffled sound of banging was endless, and none of the eight murderous creatures escaped.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen came to the third layer.

There is no demon wolf here, but there is a sword hanging high in the air.

This sword was only two feet long, and its whole body was hazy, blooming with a pale cyan glow, and it was not an entity, it was actually condensed with divine thoughts.

"Yes, it's interesting!" Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had already understood the danger of this level.

It must be a master who guards this tower, and uses his divine thoughts to condense into a short sword and use it to launch spiritual attacks.

Ordinary disciples, even if they reach the strength of a first-order martial saint, their divine thoughts and spiritual world will not be too strong, and they will be severely injured by this strange little sword.

In that case, it is necessary to heal the wounds with a thousand-year-old "soul nourishing vine", and because of this, this elixir is extremely sought-after and the price remains high.

Quietly, the short sword stabbed towards Lin Chen.

"Get out!" Lin Chen suddenly spoke, his tongue blooming like spring thunder.

A terrifying fluctuation spread rapidly, and the sword collapsed on the spot.

"Oh my god! What a terrible strength!" Yuan Hengying, who was watching the battle, was shocked.

Originally, they thought that Lin Chen would basically not be able to pass this level, but they didn't expect that he would easily resolve it.

These people will not understand that Lin Chen has learned a lot of things in the exchange of divine thoughts with the Great Zhou Taizu, and those are extremely valuable experiences.

In less than fifty breaths, Lin Chen broke into the fourth-story tower.

"I'll bet a thousand 'Yuan Qi Pills', he will definitely not be able to break through here!" a big guy let out a fluctuation of divine thoughts.

"A thousand? It's too stingy, bet on 10,000, he's dead!" the other big man sneered.
