Born Sacred
Chapter 205: Hundredth Floor II
The light did not display a name. If they knew that Noah had advanced from the 1st floor to the 100th floor in a single attempt, they would be even more shocked.
During the challenge, stamina does not recover.
Continuously climbing the tower places one at a clear disadvantage and greatly increases the chance of failing before reaching their true limit.
Most Awakeners avoid challenging too many floors in one attempt, especially at higher levels.
An hour later, the light on the 100th floor disappeared. Just as many Awakeners thought the challenger was about to exit, a new light appeared on the 101st floor.
"Holy... they cleared the 100th floor and are still going?"
"I really want to see who this is. To be this bold..."
Very few Awakeners suspected that it was Noah. They would only learn his identity after he came out of the tower.
The monsters on the 101st floor were even stronger than those on the 100th.
In his current condition, Noah knew he could not defeat them through normal means. Without hesitation, he activated his burst state, and his strength surged instantly.
Although his control over his body decreased, overwhelming force could compensate for the loss of precision.
He did not need to enter the most extreme Destruction Form. The Attack, Defense, and Extreme Speed forms were enough and consumed far less energy.
If this body had possessed a bloodline, Noah could have used Bloodline Liberation as well. Unfortunately, he currently lacked that kind of burst method.
In the blink of an eye, he cleared the floor.
[Congratulations on clearing the 101st floor of the Sky Piercing Tower. You have received 5000 Full Attribute Crystals.]
[You have ten minutes of rest time, or you may immediately enter the next floor.]
After the 100th floor, the reward increased to 5000 Full Attribute Crystals per floor. Noah did not pay much attention to it. Attribute Crystals were the most basic reward of the tower, and those capable of reaching higher floors would not care about such minor gains.
Next, Noah continuously used his burst state and rapidly cleared floors up to the 110th.
The reward for the 110th floor became 5000 Full Attribute Crystals and 1 Intermediate Skill Crystal. Compared to the first 100 floors, it was clearly an improvement.
Noah was completely immersed in slaughtering monsters within the Sky Piercing Tower, but the Awakeners outside were stunned.
There were very few light spots above the 100th floor.
Under such close attention, there was no room for error. The one who had cleared ten consecutive floors was indeed the same Awakener who had just passed the 100th floor.
"What is going on? They are clearing floors above 100 faster than they cleared the 100th floor?"
"Holy crap, did they hold back on the 100th floor?"
The Awakeners could hardly believe what they were seeing.
111th floor.
Looking at the attribute panel of the monster that appeared, Noah’s expression changed. This level of strength was excessive.
The dynamic adjustment beyond the 100th floor was far more aggressive than before. Noah had only advanced ten floors, yet the monster’s strength had already risen to a level that was extremely difficult to handle, even if he fought with everything he had.
Noah considered using Destruction Form, but after a moment of thought, he held himself back.
If he used it now, the monsters in the following floors would become even stronger. They might reach a point where he would be forced to rely on Destruction Form for every battle, or worse, a level he could not defeat at all.
His current body did not possess a bloodline, and remaining in Destruction Form for too long would lead to sudden death.
"It seems that the higher the floor, the faster the dynamic adjustment."
"Next time I challenge the tower, I should avoid using burst forms unless I am facing a hundred floor checkpoint."
Noah quickly understood the situation. He also realized that his true Combat Art level was around the 105th floor. Of course, this level could only be reached through a gradual challenge.
The floor one could reach directly reflected their Combat Art.
Noah’s Combat Art had reached 105 percent, surpassing the 100 percent required for perfect mastery. This allowed him to exert an additional five percent of strength in battle.
However, this value represented the theoretical peak, calculated without the influence of body attributes, talent, or bloodline.
In reality, those factors would inevitably interfere, making it difficult for him to reach this level consistently.
"105 percent... I thought I would not even reach 100 percent."
"Mind, will, soul, which aspect am I particularly strong in?"
Noah’s heart stirred, and he thought of the skill Soul Resonance. It enhanced soul strength, and he guessed it was because of the existence of this passive skill that his soul strength was particularly strong, leading to the improvement of his Combat Art. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
While he was thinking, the battle with the monster erupted. Without entering the burst state, Noah was quickly cleared out.
...
Outside the Sky Piercing Tower, many Awakeners watched with wide eyes as the light spot on the 111th floor disappeared.
"Such speed, the 111th floor was cleared too."
"Uh, is it possible that... they failed the challenge?"
No light spot appeared on the 112th floor. Clearly, this Awakener had failed the challenge.
Immediately, everyone’s eyes eagerly turned towards the exit at the bottom of the tower.
A three-meter-tall blue water person appeared at the light gate.
"Holy crap, brother, you’re amazing."
"Impressive, in the past month, you are the only Awakener to clear the 100th floor."
The Awakeners outside swarmed forward, surrounding the blue water person, not sparing their words of praise.
Noah came out of the light gate and looked strangely at the lively scene not far away. He shook his head and turned to leave. After continuously challenging over a hundred floors inside the Sky Piercing Tower, he was also exhausted and had no interest in socializing.
"You’ve got it wrong, I’m not the person you’re looking for."
The somewhat confused blue water person finally managed to explain the situation clearly.
