“Okay, that’s the end of our battle test today. Tomorrow will be the practice test in Heaven Tower, I hope everyone can get a good rest tonight!”
After the end of the day, the sky had begun to turn dark by the time Master Ykink made this announcement.
Then, everyone left the scene.
Heaven Tower was the most powerful challenge in Leicom Academy, and there were twenty levels.
Up until now, no one had been able to reach the top successfully. Even Dean Sumeru had been halted at the eighteenth level while the four grand masters had stopped at the seventeenth.
Every floor had different challenges for different people, so no one knew exactly what kind of challenge would be given by Heaven Tower. Hence, no one knew how to even cheat.
That night, Gerald was called to Sumeru’s bedroom.
“Dean, you wanted to see me?”
Gerald entered the room respectfully as favonovel.com asked Sumeru, who was meditating on the meditation deck.
Sumeru opened his eyes slowly and looked at Gerald with a smile on his face.
“Gerald, you did well this afternoon. I’m very satisfied as your teacher, but are you prepared for the challenge tomorrow at Heaven Tower?”
After praising Gerald, the dean asked Gerald with concern.
“Dean, I’ve listened to Master Ykink introduce Heaven Tower in a simple way, but I’m curious, what kind of challenges are there inside? Please teach me about this, teacher!”
Gerald instantly asked Dean Sumeru curiously.
“Hoho!” Sumeru chuckled lightly.
“Heaven Tower was created by the ancient god of Astral Traveler in Leicom Academy. After the god of Astral Traveler stepped into the human world, Heaven Tower became the most symbolic feature of the Leicom Academy. Every scholar who enters Leicom Academy has to pass the challenge of Heaven Tower. Only then can they be deemed as students of Leicom Academy!”
“About the challenges inside, I can’t tell you anything. Heaven Tower is fascinating, and the challenges it offers vary from person to person. You’ll only know when you go inside yourself!”
Sumeru didn’t answer Gerald’s question and instead told favonovel.com the general information about Heaven Tower.
“Dean, I heard from Master Ykink that you stopped at the eighteenth floor, right?”
Gerald asked Sumeru carefully.
“That’s right. It gets harder as you proceed further up Heaven Tower. It was tens of years ago when I reached the eighteenth level. From then onward, I never went into Heaven Tower anymore!” Dean Sumeru nodded and answered.
Sumeru’s words made Gerald more and more curious as favonovel.com told himself that favonovel.com would surpass the old in the future as a new generation.
Now that even Sumeru could only stop at the eighteenth level of Heaven Tower, favonovel.com himself had to surpass Sumeru and reach the top of Heaven Tower to prove himself.
If the older generation couldn’t make it, it didn’t necessarily mean that the new generation couldn’t do it as well. After all, times were always changing.
Subsequently, Sumeru took out a sachet from his sleeve and passed it to Gerald.
“Dean, what’s this?”
Gerald asked curiously.
“This is a sachet I got from Heaven Tower back then, but I have never opened it before. Now, I want to give this to you. Maybe this can help you when you enter Heaven Tower, but you can only open and use it at the most critical and urgent moment. You must remember my words!” Sumeru reminded Gerald seriously.
“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind, Dean!”
Gerald nodded automatically and promised him.
After their chat, Gerald left Sumeru’s room.
After Gerald had left the room for a while, Sumeru waved his arm, and a starry sky map appeared right in front of his eyes instantly.
The starlight shone brightly on the map, but one couldn’t see anything beneath those starlights.
“Messy starry map and diminishing starlight—looks like the catastrophe of Leicom Continent is bound to arrive soon!”
Sighing after throwing a last look at the map, Sumeru’s expression turned complicated and sad.
But right at that moment, a bright white starlight appeared out of the blue in the starry map, shining brightly and eye-catchingly.
