Chapter 254: Hero Tower Update
Cui Wenxuan naturally guessed what was going on, but he couldn’t figure out how these two little guys had affected the Sacred Spirit Divine Domain.
The kind that directly shakes the foundation.
“With this old man here, you two can rest assured.” Cui Wenxuan made the guarantee quite seriously.
“Aren’t you no match for that Goddess Highness?” Wu Xian asked softly in response.
Cui Wenxuan’s old face darkened. “I understand that girl’s temperament. If she truly had any malicious intent, she would have grabbed you two for interrogation long ago. Would she need to go to such trouble?”
Wu Xian and the other were actually speechless.
Indeed, with that Goddess Highness’s strength, she could completely adopt such a domineering and forceful approach.
Now that she was being so polite and discussing it with them, didn’t that just prove she was a reasonable and proper person?
“By the way, what exactly did you two do?” Cui Wenxuan asked curiously. “To actually shake the foundation of the Sacred Spirit Divine Domain?”
“Um…” Wu Xian pondered and said: “We’re not entirely clear on the specifics either, but【Sacred Spirit】 such special existences seem to have some kind of fatal flaw.”
“Flaw?” Cui Wenxuan’s expression turned strange.
Cui Wenxuan didn’t ask further. After agreeing to meet at the association tomorrow, he bid farewell and left.
Although Xue Lingling was somewhat worried, with things having come to this, she could only take it one step at a time.
As for Wu Xian’s side, he wasn’t panicked at all.
On one hand, that Xu Cunxin was a reasonable and proper person. On the other hand, he also wanted to learn about the specific situation of the Sacred Spirit Divine Domain.
What truly worried him instead was the others at the Shenglin Dojo.
Fortunately, the【White Tiger Seven Mansions】 were already assembled.
As long as the fatal flaw in the Holy Spirit Scroll Painting remained, he could easily control the situation.
…
In the evening, a blockbuster news exploded across all sectors of society.
The Tianfeng Province Spirit Tamer Alliance issued an announcement: The Hero Tower has officially opened Level Thirty-one to Level Thirty-five. Alliance certification levels have entered the T4 era, raising the original highest T0 certification to the highest T5 certification.
The news immediately set off an explosion across all sectors.
Even the popularity of the “Three Gods Version” was briefly overshadowed.
After all, the Hero Tower certification had always been the globally recognized standard for measuring combat power.
Alliance T4 certification was the symbol of the world’s top-tier Spirit Tamer powerhouses.
In the entire Scroll Painting World, it was rare to produce even one T4-certified powerhouse in several years, and the Hero Tower Thirtieth Floor had always been the highest honor in people’s minds.
But now, that former ultimate honor had become a thing of the past.
It elevated people’s cognition of ultimate combat power, making them realize that the development of the current human power system was far from reaching its limit.
For human society, which was shrouded in the shadow of the Three Gods, this was undoubtedly a powerful stimulant.
It brought higher goals to the Human World, as well as confidence in future development.
And so, that very evening.
One big shot after another, who had long since achieved success and fame and distanced themselves from the alliance’s circle of fame and fortune, reignited their passion and faith, voicing their intent one after another to return to the Hero Tower for challenges, determined to be the first to claim the ultimate T5 certification.
The only somewhat awkward part was that currently, only the Tianfeng Province Hero Tower and the Alliance Headquarters Hero Tower had opened the T5 challenge.
The【Hero Tower】 at headquarters was the core original copy, like a master directory. The Domain Scroll Paintings and data collected from the provincial branch instances would all be integrated into the headquarters Hero Tower original copy.
Although the headquarters Hero Tower original copy could transmit this data to the provincial branches, it required time and queuing.
This resulted in a situation where, in the short term, only the Alliance Headquarters and the Tianfeng Province branch could conduct challenges above the 30th Floor.
For this reason, Wu Xian had also chatted with Jiang Chenglei and the others.
Actually, the Alliance Headquarters side had wanted to wait until the overall update was complete before making a full announcement.
But due to the panic and pressure the “Three Gods Version” had brought to human society, they had no choice but to announce this news ahead of schedule.
For Tianfeng Province and the Tianfeng Province Alliance, this was undoubtedly a huge boon, instantly boosting the popularity of Tianfeng Province.
“Heh heh, now Master Xiao Wu’s Domain creation can speed up its progress a bit more.” Jiang Chenglei grinned mischievously in the video.
“How so?” Wu Xian couldn’t help but be curious.
“Simple,” Jiang Chenglei laughed. “If other branches want to catch up quickly, they either go to headquarters to queue up or come to our Tianfeng Province branch to copy the data. Guess if anyone will come begging me for a favor?
Since they’re asking me, don’t they have to show some sincerity?”
Wu Xian was amused. “Isn’t your alliance famously united, famously solid as iron?”
“Look at what you’re saying. Even close brothers have to keep clear accounts.”
“…” Wu Xian was actually speechless. “Right, have any of you seniors tried experiencing Level Thirty-one and above ahead of time?”
Wu Xian was very interested in the tower-climbing challenge created by the【Underworld】 inside the Hero Tower.
“We’d love to experience it, but the key is we can’t get up there.” Jiang Chenglei gave a self-deprecating bitter smile.
Only then did Wu Xian realize that Jiang Chenglei and the others hadn’t even cleared the 30th Floor.
“But no worries,” Jiang Chenglei laughed. “Our Tianfeng Province’s only T4 old senior has already come out of retirement. At that time, his elderly self will definitely be willing to discuss the details and feelings with you, the original creator.”
“Our Tianfeng Province also has a T4 big shot?” Wu Xian was surprised.
“An old senior from decades ago. Not sure if his elderly body can still withstand this intensity nowadays.”
After ending the call with Jiang Chenglei, he turned to check the major platforms and portal sites online.
They were basically all hotly discussing this Hero Tower upper limit update.
At the same time, the Scroll Painter who had pushed the Hero Tower upper limit this time naturally became the focus of heated discussions and inquiries from all sides.
After all, that was an existence capable of advancing the Hero Tower’s evolution—who wouldn’t be interested?
Fortunately, the alliance had always had an unwritten rule: confidentiality of the sources and authors of all Domain Scroll Paintings inside the Hero Tower, unless the author themselves publicly acknowledged it.
“Only Level Thirty-five?” Wu Xian pondered to himself.
This was merely the current limit of the【Underworld】, not the true limit.
After completing and perfecting the Underworld Domain later, the limit should rise even further.
For him, it was like a stock that kept appreciating in value, able to bring him a steady stream of Hero Points revenue in the future.
Ding~!
Bai Shiqi sent a WeChat message inquiring, “Brother Wu, this Hero Tower change is because of that Domain Scroll Painting of yours, right?”
“No.” Wu Xian’s reply was simple and straightforward.
Whether you believe it or not, I’m not admitting it anyway.
…
The next day, he went to the association side as agreed, together with his Master Sister.
He had originally thought that Xu Cunxin would be more anxious than them and would definitely be waiting ahead of time to greet them.
Who would have thought that the other party was actually late.
“Tsk~ Is this all the sincerity Goddess Highness has?” Wu Xian was faintly dissatisfied.
Whether greeting them or not wasn’t a big deal, but the key was that the other party was actually late?
Then Cui Wenxuan teasingly explained, “Just wait a bit; she should be back soon. After the Hero Tower upper limit update last night, little Xu went straight to Level Thirty-one.”
“Ah?” Wu Xian was shocked. “Goddess Highness is also an Alliance T4-certified big shot?”
“She cleared it five years ago.” Cui Wenxuan neither confirmed nor denied.
Wu Xian and Xue Lingling exchanged shocked glances, secretly clicking their tongues.
Five years ago—that was Xue Lingling’s current age— she had cleared the Hero Tower 30th Floor?
This Goddess Highness from the Shenglin Dojo was quite fierce!
As they spoke, Xu Cunxin descended gracefully from the air. Her exquisite poker face… uh… calling it a poker face now would be a bit immoral. Her exquisite, cold face showed a hint of self-doubt, as if this Level Thirty-one challenge hadn’t gone too smoothly.
“How was it? Did you clear it?” Cui Wenxuan asked with a smile.
“Barely cleared Level Thirty-one,” Xu Cunxin took a deep breath. “This Hero Tower Update’s Level Thirty-one is very different; it seems to be mainly based on the Undead System background. It needs more careful study.”
