Chapter 260: Chapter 148: Wisdom Tower (Part 2)

Usage Effect: After use, a Level 10 Specialty can be advanced to Mastery, and on this basis, adjustments and optimizations can be made to better integrate the newly acquired skills into your combat system, greatly enhancing their power.

Supplement: After using this Advancement Card to advance a Specialty, raising the level of the Master Level Specialty requires consuming a large amount of additional resources to enhance its strength.

“It’s actually an exclusive Advancement Card!”

Ye Mingqiu couldn’t help but exclaim, instantly understanding why the light was so dazzling when this item exploded.

The Specialty Advancement Card is far rarer than the Skill Advancement Book. It’s something only used after a Specialty reaches Level 10, and for normal Spiritualists, it is only possible to use it after Tier Two.

A Level 6 Dominator dropping something used by Tier Two Spiritualists is already quite incredible.

Not only that, but it’s not an ordinary Specialty Advancement Card, it’s a customized exclusive Advancement Card!

The drop rate of a customized exclusive Advancement Card is extremely low, so low that it’s outrageous. Combined with the fact that Specialty Advancement Cards themselves are hard to obtain, the value of a custom exclusive Specialty Advancement Card skyrockets.

This is something ordinary Spiritualists wouldn’t even see, not to mention understand.

Ye Mingqiu quickly stored the Specialty Advancement Card in his Storage Space, feeling extremely anxious.

“Hoo~”

He calmed himself briefly and then used the to dispel the toxic mist. The Ergen Master was dead, but its lingering poison still pervaded this wooded area, which was quite poisonous.

The poison didn’t affect Ye Mingqiu, and probably not Tang Ruobing either… but Feng Xinglie would likely be forced to use a life-saving item. If it’s the type where you revive on the spot, without protection, he’d be directly poisoned to death.

Dominator—for a normal Spiritualist, is an absolutely undefeatable presence.

The holy light burned the toxins, issuing a sizzling sound, as Ye Mingqiu gazed at the mystical blue ice unleashed by Tang Ruobing and thought to himself: The ice elements she uses don’t seem to be regular Spiritual Energy-converted Cold Ice but rather some special Ice Attribute, similar to [Holy Power] and [Abyssal Power].

If it were ordinary Cold Ice, it would have long been corroded and penetrated by the Ergen Master’s toxic mist, consequently affecting Feng Xinglie and Tang Ruobing.

….

Some time passed

The poisonous air gradually got purified, and the terrifying dense forest returned to normal. The marks of burning and corrosion and the pale tendril fragments scattered everywhere testified to the battle that occurred.

Ye Mingqiu stepped on the hardened white fungus strands and arrived beside the ice. Using [Holy Power] to activate Fire Attribute Magic, he covered his palm, and as the platinum flames danced, the hand gradually melted the mystical blue ice wall, revealing the silhouettes of the two on the other side, becoming clearer.

Soon, he opened a hole in the ice wall, small but enough to see through to the other side.

At this moment, Tang Ruobing was sitting on a giant rock, back facing the ice wall, carefully reading two books in her hands.

’She hid it quite well.’

Ye Mingqiu chuckled.

Then, an always attentive Feng Xinglie exclaimed from the other side, “Tang Ruobing, your ice has melted, Ye Mingqiu is out!”

“Hmm?”

Tang Ruobing’s delicate body trembled immediately. She swiftly retrieved the books at lightning speed, then turned to the stone archway where Ye Mingqiu stood, and coldly questioned, “Did you run out of Spiritual Energy? This is the extent of your flames.”

“Hmm, a hard-won victory.”

Ye Mingqiu responded with an unchanged expression, his gaze unintentionally brushing past Feng Xinglie.

Though slightly annoyed at him for reminding, he did not confront him directly since his reminder was for Tang Ruobing’s benefit. There was no need to create conflict over an outsider; that would be quite unwise.

Sigh, let such minor issues slide; after all, I’m not one to hold grudges.

Achoo!

Feng Xinglie suddenly sneezed, feeling a chill down his spine without a reason.

Afterward, the three entered the woodland, did a brief cleanup of the battle loot, gathered some materials, and continued advancing toward the tower’s core.

….

Passing through the poisonous woodland, the mist lingering in the distance naturally dispersed like ebbing tide, without obstructing the trio’s progression.

Ye Mingqiu could vaguely sense a slight fear pervading through the air, but it wasn’t thick, only faint traces remained. The main source seems to have fled; if no accident occurred, that should be the original BOSS guarding this checkpoint.

Click, lacking diligence.

Through the misty forest, across an ancient small bridge, the view ahead opened up.

A grand and ancient tower majestically stood at the visual endpoint, constructed from an unknown high-strength, huge gray-white stone. The stone’s surface was full of marks from the passage of time.

“Here it is, the tower the Principal mentioned.”

Ye Mingqiu gazed up at the tower, clearly feeling an imposing majesty from it. Combined with the inscriptions on the stele before entering the Little Spirit Realm, it is not difficult to deduce that this tower seems to relate to a Divinity.

He turned his gaze to Tang Ruobing, knowing she would have more information about this tower.

Noticing Ye Mingqiu’s gaze, Tang Ruobing proactively introduced, “This is a tower that tests wisdom, with no life-threatening danger. Passing the trial grants corresponding rewards, the basic being experience points. If the score is high enough, extra rewards are obtainable.”

“This tower is also called the Tower of Wisdom. Only those possessing great wisdom can obtain high rewards from inside the tower.”
