The third floor of the Watcher Tower, where the soul is tested.
Su Xiao looked at the Soul Guard, Thorn Girl, Ghost Hunter, Soul Mage, Black Steel Knight, and Soul Lord in front of him. Counting this time, it was the third time he encountered these six guys.
At first, Su Xiao thought that these six guys were the permanent gatekeepers of the Soul Arena. The Soul Guard and Thorn Girl were the elite monsters in the first two levels, and the Ghost Hunter, Soul Mage, and Black Steel Knight were the elite monsters in the subsequent three levels*
*oss, and the Lord of Souls is the big boss at the end of the level...
But later Su Xiao discovered that these six guys were not only the gatekeepers of the Soul Arena certified by the Void Tree, but they also took on private jobs. If the benefits offered were high enough, they could use the powerful summoning ability of the soul system.
They were summoned temporarily. Before the confrontation with Evil Ghost Kain, the other party summoned the Soul Six to prepare to deal with Su Xiao.
Now it seems that the Soul Six not only take on private jobs, they are also the bosses of the first level on the third floor of the Monitor Tower.
In fact, the Soul Six not only have these two identities, they are also the defenders of the Forest of Ghosts. As for why the Soul Six do these things at the same time, Su Xiao cannot ask, otherwise it will easily make the Soul Six angry.
All burst into tears.
If someone hadn't looted the Soul Arena, even kicked the Soul Stone Throne fixed on the ground and taken it away, there would be no need for the six souls to hang out in the Soul Arena and defeat the eighth-level challenger with one hand.
Taking on so many identities, and occasionally taking on private jobs that I didn't like before.
However, as a reward, after being beaten by Su Xiao with his soul power, the Soul Six no longer had the arrogance of the past. At least after a new challenger came to the Soul Arena, they were even more arrogant after they no longer won.
.
As Su Xiao walked into the edge of the battle field, what he saw was a temple several kilometers in size. He needed to defeat the six souls here one-on-one. However, he could only use the soul system ability here.
.
Not every challenger has a soul-based ability, so the notarization here is the same as that of the Soul Arena. After Su Xiao entered the battle venue, he triggered the notarization and gained a 10-minute ability selection time limit.
A stone platform rose from the ground in front, with an unfolded metal book placed on it. Su Xiao pressed her hand on it to indicate the prompt.

[There are a total of three challenges in this challenge. If you win each game, you can reset all temporarily mastered soul abilities. 】
…
Last time in the Soul Arena, Su Xiao used "Repulse" + "Soul Crystal Gun" to fight the enemy. This time he planned to change the method.
Su Xiao weighed it up and then chose to master the three abilities of "Soul Missile" + "Intermediate Gain" + "Spiritual Source". Soul Missile was used as the main combat ability. After raising its level high enough, whether it is condensed in a single
The quantity and power can reach a very impressive level.
Su Xiao tried to gather soul missiles, and a translucent blue soul ball appeared above him. This soul ball was about the size of a marble. Because the soul missile ability was only Lv. 1, this missile was not only small in size, but also had a very wide tracking range.
Small.
But one thing is that this kind of soul power with a weak foundation generally has a high upper limit.
On the opposite side, Soul Guard, Thorn Girl, Ghost Hunter, Soul Mage, Black Steel Knight, and Soul Master looked at each other after seeing the soul missiles condensed by Su Xiao. They seemed calm, but in fact there was excitement hidden in their eyes.
.
The Soul Lord's eyes narrowed a bit. According to his analysis, it has not been too long since the last fight in the Soul Arena. At that time, Su Xiao's soul strength was 590 points. Based on this calculation, now
The soul strength can reach 650 points, which is the limit.
Thinking about it this way, with the temporary skill slots and temporary skill points that 650 points can bring, it is basically impossible for the soul missile ability to exert its truly terrifying power. In addition, only soul abilities can be used here.
After thinking of this, the Lord of the Soul suddenly felt that he might be able to win this time. If he won, he would not only get an extra generous reward for guarding the gate, but also get back the cards he had been beaten before. Thinking of this, the Lord of the Soul had a look on his face.
The mask of pain gradually disappeared, and some of the arrogance of the past returned.
The six souls looked at each other, and they all saw two words in each other's eyes: 'Beat him!'
Of course, Su Xiao didn't know the psychological activities of the Soul Six. After he mastered the Soul Missile, he also mastered the "Intermediate Gain", which greatly increased the upper limit of the single concentration of the Soul Missile and its power. At the cost, there would be times
Soul energy consumption.
In order to make up for this problem, Su Xiao chose the high-level soul ability "Spiritual Source".
[Soul Missile has been upgraded to Lv.95 (the highest level). 】
[Intermediate level gain has been upgraded to Lv.0 (the highest level). 】
[The spiritual energy source has been upgraded to Lv.10 (the highest level).]
…
A total of 445 soul skill points were consumed. For Su Xiao, whose soul strength is as high as 859 points, this is not a problem at all. He initially had 460 soul skill points.
Su Xiao was well prepared. He looked at the Lord of Souls in front of him and found that not only were these six people very strong in fighting spirit, but their eyes were different from before. They seemed to have a bit more arrogance than when they first met?
Ten minutes of preparation time passed, the transparent barrier in front disappeared, and the Lord of Souls spoke:
"Destruction, don't call us six against one despicable. You guys, come on..."
The Lord of Souls shouted, and the giant black steel knight took the lead. He held a nearly 5-meter-high tower shield in his left hand, and a long-handled war hammer in his right hand. The charging momentum was particularly terrifying, but in the next second, he came.
He braked suddenly and almost fell flat on the ground.
Soul missiles appeared above Su Xiao one after another. Each of these soul missiles was as big as a millstone. There were hundreds of them in a single release.
This wasn't the end yet. As Su Xiao held it empty-handed with one hand, these hundreds of soul missiles were all compressed, compressed into black balls the size of marbles, and emitted an intrusive buzzing sound.
A soul black ball flew out. Due to its own skill level and the bonus of the full level gain, the soul black ball flew extremely fast. In an instant, it arrived in front of the Black Steel Knight and hit his tower shield.
Boom!!
The center of the Black Steel Knight's tower shield dented inward, and he flew backwards, blasting into the wall. Several soul missiles followed closely, and after several ear-splitting roars, large pieces of broken armor flew out.
The surrounding hall walls collapsed, and the battle terrain expanded, turning into an abandoned ruins. You could still vaguely see the Black Steel Knight limping away and escaping into the distance.
When the Lord of the Soul saw this, the corners of his eyes trembled. He turned to look at Su Xiao, his eyes were extremely solemn. The Lord of the Soul would never escape today!
Su Xiao naturally didn't know what the Soul Master was thinking. He just wanted to try out these temporarily mastered soul abilities. He looked at the 90% soul energy left. Anyway, there is a "spiritual source" to quickly restore soul energy, so he might as well use it a few more times.
Sub-soul missile.
Su Xiao's soul energy was consumed rapidly, and soon, thousands of soul black balls appeared, and the compressed buzzing sound was particularly terrifying.
Su Xiao dragged a soul black ball with one hand. Under his control, all the soul black balls attacked the soul guard, Thorn Girl, Ghost Hunter, Soul Mage, Black Steel Knight, and Soul Lord.
The Lord of Souls, who had just made up his mind not to escape, gave himself and several surrounding subordinates buffs and acceleration, then jumped into the air and flew away into the distance.
Su Xiao jumped onto a towering stone pillar. After looking at the people fleeing in the distance, he took out the Mysterious Eye and adjusted it like a Rubik's Cube, clicking and clicking.
As for the battle with the Soul Six, just wait. After the Soul Missile is raised to its limit, its tracking ability is abnormal. After locking on the target, it either hits the target or keeps chasing it for more than an hour.
Su Xiao waited for nearly half an hour, and the surrounding scene changed. The ruins gradually turned into smoke, and the scene turned into the original hall again, and the six souls with bruises and swollen faces were lying or lying on the ground.
Su Xiao had already expected that he could defeat the Soul Six, but to be on the safe side, he chose the Soul Missile. After all, it was a pair of six, and it was the best choice not to give the enemy a chance.
[Hint: You have defeated the Lord of Souls.]
[You get the soul candy recipe.]
[Your temporary soul skill slot +1.]
[You gain temporary soul skill reset permission.]
…
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao knew that the original challenge of this level was to only defeat the Lord of Souls, instead of defeating everyone in the Soul Six.
The stone platform rose in front. Su Xiao pressed the book of endowment with one hand. First, he reset the "Soul Missile" and "Intermediate Gain" with the reset authority. He mastered these two abilities in order to try out
After raising "Spiritual Source" to full level, what is the upper limit of its recovery?
The result is that "Spiritual Source" can restore 10% of soul energy per second. The strength of this temporarily given soul ability is simply unreasonable. Normally, there would be no such abnormal recovery ability.
, even if there is, such recovery of soul energy can only be achieved at the cost of consuming body energy or life points, instead of continuing to recover soul energy without consuming anything.
After learning the upper limit of the strength of "Spiritual Source", Su Xiao was confident of winning the next two games. He scrolled down the skill list and finally mastered a skill called "Death Embrace" with 19 soul skill slots.
ability.
【Death Embrace】
Effect: Use soul power to control any enemy target within 100 meters, consuming 5% of soul energy every second until your own soul energy is exhausted.
Level: high level soul ability.
Lethality: ★～★★★★★★★★ (the power continues to increase as the time under control increases).
Control time limit:--
Control strength: Depends on the user's soul strength.
Required skill slots: 19.
…
After mastering this high-level soul ability, Su Xiao used his existing soul skill points to fill it up. After consulting that the opponents in the next two games were all alone, this ability became more secure.
Check the consumption of the full-level "Death Embrace" ability. It consumes 9.% of soul energy per second. Under normal circumstances, it is to control the enemy for more than ten seconds, but with the abnormal recovery ability of "Spiritual Source", Su Xiao can control the enemy.
Control until death.
Su Xiao raised his right hand, palm facing up, and located dozens of meters away. The curved tower shield of the Black Steel Knight flew up on its own. As Su Xiao's right hand gradually grasped it, the metal tower shield made a squeezing sound.
, and finally squeeze it until it is only the size of an apple.
Su Xiao released the control, and the apple-sized metal ball hit the ground with a bang. Because of its amazing density, the sound was also extremely loud.
When the Lord of Souls saw this scene, he suddenly felt that as an old acquaintance, this exterminator had clearly been merciful before.
After this misunderstanding appeared, the arrogance and resentment in the eyes of the Lord of Souls subsided a lot. He hesitated and said: "Destruction, those two at the back are much stronger than us."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything. He wanted to know why the Lord of Souls and others, who seemed to be tall and thick, had developed the recipe for soul candies. After hearing about this, Thorn Girl bluntly replied that it was not that they liked to eat soul candies, but
I have a regular customer base and I often go to them to order soul candies.
After learning about this, Su Xiao did not ask further. He did not intend to compete with the Soul Arena for customers in this area. He wanted to know more about who the gatekeepers of the next two levels were.
In this regard, the Lord of Souls did not reveal it due to the notarization rules, but only expressed in a vague way that both of them were very strong, but compared with the obstacles on the third level, most of the challengers who came to the Monitor Tower were defeated.
Defeated in the Seventh Level Apostle Game.
Su Xiao walked towards the door leading to the third floor and second level. After pushing the giant door open, the surrounding scene changed. This was an area similar to an underground space. Tentacles of souls emerged from the ceiling dozens of meters high.
Hanging down, the end of the tentacles is about a few meters away from the ground.
Located in front, a figure wearing a soul feather coat is floating three meters above the ground. It is human-shaped, but its eyes seem to contain vast stars. This is the star spirit guarding this place.
The star spirit's eyes, which were like containing thousands of stars, were looking down at Su Xiao. The feathers on its body were scattered with colorful light particles. The battle had clearly begun, but it was still just floating there, as if it didn't bother to take the lead.
Seeing this, Su Xiao held his hands empty, and the squeezing force of "Death Embrace" sealed the star spirit dozens of meters away in mid-air, and gradually increased the squeezing force.
"How long can the embrace of death trap me?"
The star spirit still looked down at Su Xiao. Soon, more than ten seconds passed, and the restraints of the death embrace did not disappear. Instead, the squeezing force became stronger and stronger.
All kinds of brilliance erupted with the protoss as the center, but it only made the binding area of "Death Embrace" expand a little. Soon, the "death embrace" shrank to the point where it began to squeeze the protoss' body.
"Wait...wait! We should fight one on one head-on. Doing so will not exercise your control over soul energy."
Su Xiao didn't know whether the Star Spirit's body defense was strong or not, but the opponent's mouth was indeed very hard. He increased the intensity of his virtual grip with one hand, and the "Death Embrace" began to erupt with the most terrifying squeezing force.
There was a clicking sound all over the body.
"This Master of Destruction of Laws, please spare my life."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound, and the star spirit in the restraint stopped moving. Seeing this, Su Xiao used the power of his soul to throw it aside. He looked at the prompt and found that the rewards were all temporary soul skill points and temporary skills.
After the trough, he was a little disappointed, and he needed something that could bring him out of this place.
Pushing open the last door on the third floor, this place is also a hall. A black shadow is behind the soul mist. The guardian of this level is called the Immortal Elder. The strange thing is that the battle is about to begin, but the soul mist has not dissipated.
.
"Alas, there is only one guardian of the elements left in the past, which is disappointing. How can I, an old man like me, stop the Spell Destroyer from ascending this tower?"
After the immortal elder in the soul mist said this, he chose to abstain. It can only be said that Jiang is still too old. He quietly witnessed the star spirit almost being hammered to death, and decisively chose to let him go. Not only would he not be beaten, but he might also be able to survive.
Send a favor.
As the immortal elder gave up, Su Xiao felt a sense of teleportation coming. The next second, he had appeared at the innermost side of the third floor. Sias, Wood and others were also teleported here. In front of him was the path to the fourth floor.
level metal spiral staircase.
[Tip: Your team has passed the Soul Winner challenge, yes/no to settle the challenge reward.]
[Accumulated reward settlement has been selected. Each time a round of challenge is completed, this reward will be increased by 1.7 times.]
After ascending to the fourth floor, Su Xiao found that the place was very dark. Only the faint light from above prevented people from being completely shrouded in darkness, but the surrounding darkness blocked the perception.
At this moment, the dim light above suddenly disappeared.
[The fourth floor of the tower challenge has been opened.]
[Content of this challenge: Darkness is coming.]
[Tip: If you attack the enemy in the dark three times in total, you can pass this trial. 】
…
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao pressed one hand on the handle of the knife, waiting for the enemy to appear and hit "Extreme Blade World".
After waiting for more than ten seconds, the enemy in the dark did not appear, but the prompt did.
[Tip: Your team has passed the Darkness Fall challenge, yes/no to settle the challenge reward.]
[Accumulated reward settlement has been selected. Each time a round of challenge is completed, this reward will be increased by 1.8 times.]
The darkness in the fourth layer quickly dissipated, and the sound of biting and chewing came. Su Xiao heard the sound and looked around, and found that the half-animal Dark Eater was pressing a monster made of dark matter to the ground, tearing and swallowing it with big mouthfuls.
This is much more delicious than the endless food challenge on the second floor.
The monster on the fourth floor was not moving very much at this moment. After being bitten off another large piece by the Dark Eater, it became completely motionless.
Obviously, this level has been passed. Although the dark creature was not attacked three times, the Dark Eater devoured it directly.
The center of the ceiling opened, the metal spiral staircase clicked down, and Su Xiao walked towards the fifth floor.
After reaching the fifth floor, he entered a long corridor, which was several meters wide and dozens of meters high. It seemed that there was no end in sight. He walked all the way, and finally reached the end of the long corridor, where the metal spiral leading to the sixth floor appeared.
The stairs are just ahead.
In front of the spiral staircase, a skinny figure wearing a black robe and a tattered hood was standing in front of a scale. This scale was very low, and the inner end spread into the pale golden mist, as if foreshadowing.
Everyone's unknown destiny.
[The fifth floor of the Tower Challenge has been opened.]
[Content of this challenge: Destiny Weight.]
…
The conditions for passing this level are very simple. As long as you step on the scale and the scale under your feet does not tilt up, you will pass. However, if your luck is not heavy enough and the scale under your feet lifts up, you will be
The mist at the other end of the scale swallows you up, and you are forever lost in that mist.
"Retreating when faced with difficulties is sometimes the wisest decision."
The old man next to the Scales of Destiny grinned, showing the few teeth he had left.
Wood stepped forward and stepped on the scale support at one end of the destiny ceiling. Seeing this scene, the old man in black robe smiled even more weirdly. This is not how the scale of destiny is stepped on. If you step on it like this, even if it is a magic-destroying destiny,
For those who have passed, they will be equal at most, and others will not be able to pass, and will all be swallowed up by the mist of fate.
Click!!
After a loud noise, the scale of fate was broken into two pieces by Wood's pressure. The mist of fate immediately went berserk, sucking the damaged scale of fate and the old man in black robe into the mist. This exposed the old man in black robe's ferocious body.
One eye appears.
Seeing the old man in black robe exposed, Wood pulled up his sleeves, took off a burning contract from his arm, and threw it to the old man in black robe. Before the other person was sucked into the fog, Wood said: "Don't think,
Only you can become the Contract Master."
He stared at Wood with one eye and was sucked into the mist of fate unwillingly.
[Tip: Your team has passed the Destiny Weight challenge, yes/no to settle the challenge reward.]
[Accumulated reward settlement has been selected. Each time a round of challenge is completed, this reward will be increased by 1.9 times.]
After following the metal spiral staircase to the sixth floor, there are various coins floating at the entrance, including paradise coins from the Reincarnation Paradise, soul coins, etc. As you continue deeper, an old square wooden table appears in front of you.
A thin figure with a loupe over his right eye and a large package placed next to the chair was sitting behind a wooden table and sound asleep.
The large package next to this person was filled with scrolls, so many that they almost burst the package.
[The sixth floor of the tower challenge has been opened.]
[Content of this challenge: Transaction.]
[Profits obtained from transactions with large package profiteers (even if the gain is 0.01 soul coins, you can pass this challenge). 】
…
Everyone looked at Caesar. Caesar took out the jar of the abyss and put it on his head. He also took out the three artifacts [Infinite Greed], [Vicious Foot Wrapping], and [Deceiver's Head Wrap]. Then he asked the big package profiteer.
Go.
The big profiteer who was sleeping soundly behind the square table suddenly woke up with a shiver. When he saw Caesar coming towards him, he blinked. After making sure he saw it correctly, there was an astonishing anger in his eyes. This was obviously because he had been tricked by Caesar before.
.
A wall of gray mist appeared in front, blocking the view of Su Xiao and others. After a full hour, the wall of gray mist disappeared and a prompt appeared.
[Tip: Team member Nicholas Caesar has been disqualified from the challenge and was teleported back to the bottom of the Monitor Tower.]
At this time, when I went to look at the big package profiteer, I saw that the big package that was about to explode beside him had completely deflated and was lying softly on the ground. The big package profiteer himself was only wearing an old pair of underpants.
The big package profiteer stood there in a daze. After he came to his senses, he cursed in an unknown language, and then ran towards the metal spiral staircase leading to the lower level. Judging from his expression, it was clear that he wanted to fight Caesar desperately.
Was it Caesar who was eliminated? No, it was Caesar who deceived his opponent down to his underpants and now he has run away.
[Tip: Your team has passed the transaction challenge, yes/no to settle the challenge reward.]
[Accumulated reward settlement has been selected. Each time a round of challenge is completed, this reward will be doubled. 】
Following the spiral staircase to the seventh floor, Su Xiao heard soothing music as soon as she entered this floor. This is a gallery. The paintings on the walls on both sides are mostly of various rare and exotic animals. These paintings are extremely realistic.
High, as if the bodies of these rare and strange beasts were made two-dimensional and printed on them.
[The seventh floor of the Tower Challenge has been opened.]
[Content of this challenge: Apostle Game.]
Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao paused. The difficulty of the Monitor Tower is not entirely determined by the number of floors. According to the Lord of Souls, there are two levels of challenges in the Monitor Tower that are the most difficult to pass. Among them, the challenge is the most difficult to pass.
One is the twelfth level, and the seventh level currently experienced, the apostle game.
Not only that, one of Su Xiao's "Hunting List·Blood Pact" bounties this time should correspond to this apostle game.
"Bounty 4, Apostle's Game: Become the winner in the game with the Eyeless Apostle (you have paid 100 ounces of time and space power to activate this bounty. After completing this bounty, you will receive 6000 ounces of time and space power)." (To be completed.)
