There is a door at the back of the main hall. Perhaps sensing Zhou Yuan's approach, the door opened on its own.
Zhou Yuan stepped through that door, and another door appeared in front of him.
At the same time, there was the sound of gears turning in the dark.
It seems that what Zhou Yuan guessed is correct. The entire Seven Star Tower is made up of mechanisms and magic circles. It is very complicated.
When the door behind him closed, Zhou Yuan picked up the token in his hand, which was also a key.
He put it in the keyhole, and there was a crisp sound and the door opened.
It is vast inside, and you can see the gears turning under your feet. There are dozens of humanoid figures standing in front of you. They are all connected with mechanisms at their feet. They are all dark and hold long knives. They are the puppets of the first level.
Zhou Yuan counted a total of sixteen puppets on the first floor.
Boom!
There was a dull sound, and the door behind Zhou Yuan slowly closed.
Zhou Yuan was shocked. It turned out that when he jumped through the door just now, his cultivation level had already been detected.
At this moment, as the door closed, the puppets began to move one by one, moving faster and faster. At the same time, they aimed at Zhou Yuan, as if they were about to launch an attack at any moment.
Zhou Yuan quickly turned over his hand and took out the Hong Tu Sword.
It can be seen from the movement speed of these puppets that they all have the strength of the second level of foundation building.
This shows that the Seven Star Tower is not that easy to break into.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The next moment, they all rushed towards Zhou Yuan, and the long knives in their hands were like streaks of startling rainbows, slashing towards Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan saw it all, dodging while blocking with his sword.
Although he is only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, his strength has already far exceeded that of the second level. Even Elder Gu Lin, who is at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment, is not his opponent, so how can he be afraid of these puppets.
Therefore, after a dozen breaths, these puppets all stiffened and stopped moving.
It turns out that as long as Zhou Yuan stabs their vital points with his sword, the mechanism will automatically determine that they are dead and stop attacking.
When Zhou Yuan bypassed these puppets, the upper gear rotated, and a new token immediately fell in front of Zhou Yuan. This was the key to the second floor.
Zhou Yuan picked it up, walked up the stairs along a door that opened next to it, and arrived at the second floor of the Seven Star Tower.
The puppets on the second level look the same as the first level. The only difference is that the long knives in their hands have become long swords, and the number has been reduced, only ten.
Even though their number was reduced by six compared to the first level, Zhou Yuan felt that their strength had been greatly improved.
The door to the second floor slammed shut, and the puppets started to move.
The next moment, sword lights flew past one after another.
Zhou Yuan was startled and immediately dodged, and at the same time he rushed forward with his sword.
The entire second floor was instantly reverberated with banging sounds and endless sparks rolling.
In just a moment, these puppets were completely defeated by Zhou Yuan again.
"As expected, these puppets get stronger as you go up. I wonder which floor I can get to?" Zhou Yuan picked up the key that fell on the ground, then followed the door that opened next to him and walked up to the third floor.
.
According to his previous plan, Zhou Yuan's goal was to break through the first two floors and then the middle and third floors.
The first two levels can only become an outer disciple, but Zhou Yuan's goal is to be an inner disciple, and he must at least pass through the third to fifth levels. Now that he has personally experienced the Seven Star Tower, he feels that he wants to be promoted to an inner disciple.
Disciples are not that simple.
Outside, the elders in charge of the Seven Star Tower and Yun Chen were waiting quietly.
The elder pondered for a moment, then looked at Yun Chen and said, "I see that this person has no martial arts seal. Why does His Highness the Crown Prince value him so much?"
In this Seven Star Academy, there are not many people who can personally watch over the two princes, and each of them is a person with amazing talents.
But the impression Zhou Yuan gave to the elder in charge was that he was ordinary.
Yun Chen smiled slightly and directly told everything that happened to Zhou Yuan from the Heroes Club to when he joined Seven Star Academy.
After hearing this, the elder in charge was immediately surprised, "So that's the case. No wonder His Highness the Prince thinks so highly of him."
"I think that one does not necessarily have the martial arts seal to be a real genius. I once read a secret book that said that for the truly strong, the martial arts seal is not only not their support, but also a huge obstacle to the warrior's progress. I don't know.
Is this correct?" Yun Chen said thoughtfully.
When the elder in charge heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Whether it is right or wrong, the fact that His Highness the Prince can understand things that others cannot, already shows that His Highness is truly a leader among men."
"But..." The elder in charge paused, "I think that this person named Zhou Yuan is already very good if he can break through the first two floors of the Seven-Star Tower. After all, the Seven-Star Tower gets stronger as he goes up. Every time he goes up, the people inside
The puppet's strength is several times that of the next level."
"That's not necessarily true. I believe in Brother Zhou Yuan's strength." Yun Chen's eyes showed firmness.
The elder in charge immediately stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Then Your Highness, you might as well take a look with me."
With that said, the two of them came to the center of the hall.
In the center of the hall stands a milky-white pillar. The pillar is inlaid with seven crystal stones, arranged in order from top to bottom. Whichever layer the barrier breaker is on, which crystal stone will light up and emit light like stars.
Dazzling light.
Seeing a dazzling crystal on the pillar, Yun Chen showed a smile.
On the other hand, the elder in charge's smile suddenly stiffened.
Because the crystal that lit up on the pillar was the third one, it meant that Zhou Yuan was now breaking into the three-star puppet on the third floor, breaking the elder's previous guess.
Soon, the third crystal suddenly flashed a few times, then went out, and then the fourth crystal lit up.
The elder in charge suddenly showed a look of astonishment on his face. Zhou Yuan broke through the third floor and now reached the fourth floor. He was worthy of being chosen by the eldest prince.
You must know that Zhou Yuan is just a handyman disciple, while the eldest prince is a direct disciple that everyone respects.
Under normal circumstances, it would be pretty good for a handyman disciple to survive at the handyman peak for a few years, then break through the first two floors of the Seven-Star Tower, and be promoted to an outer disciple, and it would be impossible to continue going up.
Is it possible that Zhou Yuan wanted to go directly from being a handyman disciple to becoming an inner disciple at once?
From a handyman to entering the inner sect, this is something that has never happened in Seven Star Academy so far. After all, the qualifications of the handyman disciples are very poor. After being promoted to the outer sect, it will take at least another ten years to have the opportunity to be promoted to the inner sect.
Door.
But the chance of becoming an inner sect disciple is very slim, because the Seven Star Tower gets stronger and stronger as one progresses, and no one can get through the first five floors at once.
After a long time, the fourth crystal on the stone pillar flickered a few more times and then went out.
Immediately afterwards, the fifth crystal lit up.
At this time, the elder in charge's eyes almost popped out, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Soon, after the fifth crystal glowed for a few breaths, it suddenly flashed out.
The elder in charge was immediately shocked. Could it be that Zhou Yuan successfully passed the fifth level and defeated the five-star puppet above?
At the same time, Yun Chen on the side was also shocked. Wasn't Zhou Yuan's speed through the fifth floor too fast?
