My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 343 - 340: Gold Medal Instructor, Online Strategy

Chapter 343 -340: Gold Medal Instructor, Online Strategy

Yan Dingtian thought back carefully.

The fifty-first to sixtieth floors were bearable, challenging, but with the survival experience he had honed in his youth, he had managed to keep going and even found one or two opportunities to counterattack.

But on the sixty-first floor, the enemies that appeared could perform instant teleportation! He couldn’t even last ten seconds before he was defeated!

Yan Dingtian glanced at Wang Zhou in the crowd, “Fatty, wait a second, I think there’s a problem with the ‘Trial Tower’s’ difficulty. Think about it, as a Transcendent… I can’t even pass the sixty-first floor, what about others? Those later stages aren’t meant to be possible, right?”

Wang Zhou shot a glance and with a strange expression on his face, pointed at the leaderboard, “There are nearly thirty people ahead of you.”

Snap!

Yan Dingtian suddenly stiffened, as if the colorful scene had abruptly turned black and white.

In the eyes of the other Awakeners, he had rightfully conquered the first sixty floors and was a bona fide big shot. However, only he knew, as a Transcendent, could he really be measured by the standards of ordinary people? If he could make it to the eightieth floor, only losing to other Transcendent Strongmen, he wouldn’t have felt ashamed, but now…

Nearly thirty people had better scores, some of them might even be youngsters. He almost couldn’t show his face anymore!

“I don’t believe it, it’s impossible! On the sixty-first floor, I did everything to the limit. Fatty, tell me, how do you pass the sixty-first floor?!”

Wang Zhou was dumbfounded.

How did this suddenly fall on him?

He was just a newbie who had reached the thirty-first floor! If he could make it to the sixty-first floor, would his weekly salary still be just two hundred and fifty? Becoming a noble and reaching the peak of his life wasn’t a dream anymore.

The surrounding Awakeners were dazed, especially those who had gone through the ‘Trial Tower’ and had seriously watched Yan Dingtian’s live broadcast; they started to question it.

“I just watched the live broadcast too, the big shot’s every move was perfected, without a single slip-up, yet he still failed. If someone else tried, could they possibly do any better?”

“You’re right, the trial suppresses our levels, our attack power, reaction speed, are all significantly limited, and the monsters’ instant teleportation happens in just a blink of an eye. How can anyone react to that, not to mention those platforms that change unpredictably?”

“The Sanctuary wouldn’t intentionally make it more difficult, would they? The so-called rewards are just bait you can look at but can’t touch?”

This last statement was a bit hurtful.

Others were all talking at once, and Wang Zhou hadn’t even come to grips with it when the topic was quickly diverted.

Yan Dingtian also hesitated for a moment.

He had just made a casual remark, but the response from the others was even stronger than his own.

Looking at the Awakeners who seemed ready to revolt, Yan Dingtian started to panic… Did he stir up trouble? Could he get his salary deducted? He had finally received those one thousand Source Crystals as reward for reaching the sixtieth floor!

Ding—

The sound that came from the screen caught the attention of the Awakeners in the circular hall.

Everyone looked over to see a few lines of text appearing.

“In light of many complaints regarding the excessive difficulty of the ‘Trial Tower,’ after deliberation, it has been decided…

…

…

…

…

Gold Medal Instructor ‘Kong’ will conduct a live broadcast to teach the ‘Trial Tower’ strategy.”

…

Tang Yu felt slightly disappointed.

He had thought that Yan Dingtian might make it to the seventieth or eightieth floor, and he was ready to grit his teeth and offer a hefty bonus. Yet, it turned out… Old Man Yan couldn’t even get past the sixty-first floor. He might as well change his name to ‘Yan Timid Sky’.

“Have I really surpassed a Transcendent Strongman by so much? Hmm, it’s not that Old Man Yan is too weak. Maybe I am just too strong…”

He selectively ignored the fact that on his first climb of the “Trial Tower,” he hadn’t even reached the sixtieth floor.

However, it was absolutely unacceptable for the Awakeners to doubt the difficulty of the “Trial Tower.”

Is the sixtieth floor difficult? Actually, it’s not—just practice more. Spend three to five hours a day in the “Trial Tower,” and even if you cannot make it to the sixtieth floor within three days, there’s still a chance of success in thirty or a hundred days.

As to whether these people had enough Source Crystals to soak daily in the “Trial Tower,” that was none of Lord Tang’s business.

“Kong” had already received his message and was preparing to enter the “Trial Tower.” Tang Yu had originally planned to go himself, but after weighing his options…

Using his Architecture Series abilities didn’t seem convincing enough, and he was worried about a potential upset if he relied solely on his own skills to clear the floors. It was better to have “Kong” do a live demonstration instead, relying solely on combat skills. Among all his followers, “Kong” was undoubtedly the strongest.

Tang Yu glanced at the “Trial Tower” ranking. In just a few days, Kong had already reached the eightieth floor, second only to Nancy.

Compared to Nancy, who, despite the suppression of her level, could still forcefully overpower opponents with the Power of Ghost God, Kong was undoubtedly more universally adaptable. Even Eileen, unable to wear her Inheritance Equipment within the “Trial Tower,” ranked lower than Kong.

Within the circular hall, the Awakeners burst into commotion.

Of course, open rebellion was out of the question; it was all talk. They would still have to earnestly challenge the “Trial Tower” later, but unexpectedly, “Kong” was going to livestream a strategy tutorial.

This person was a high-ranking member of Green Shadow, following Director Tang from the early days and having earned a glorious military record. Now, he was the Commander of the Investigation Corps.

His strength was beyond doubt, yet few had seen Kong take action. The Awakeners were very curious.

The news spread rapidly. More and more Awakeners gathered in the circular hall, and those without the qualifications to access the Spirit Space region were suffering. They could only strive to complete missions and raise their adventurer star level.

At the Extreme Martial Arts Hall headquarters of Green Shadow,

this training camp was reserved for Core Apprentices only. In a slightly smaller circular hall, around twenty-some Core Apprentices stood scattered, quietly waiting for the news that their instructor “Kong” was about to livestream the trial of the tower.

The strategy tutorial wasn’t just for ordinary Awakeners but was also intended for them, the Core Apprentices.

Having learned from several instructors, their combat skills were strong, and they had traversed the “Trial Tower” often, usually hovering around the fortieth and fiftieth floors. Only five had successfully made it to the sixtieth floor, and among them, two had reached the impressive height of the sixty-third floor.

Sun Yu and Cai Jiajia.

Both were young or rather, the Core Apprentices were generally young—the youngest being just twelve and the oldest only about twenty.

The boy had pale skin and was surrounded by several male apprentices, while the other girl had her hair bundled at the back of her head like a flower bud, also encircled by chattering female apprentices, eager to know the secrets of advancing in the “Trial Tower.”

“The sixty-third floor is really brutal. I’ve died there more than ten times. It’s painfully hard. Let’s wait and learn carefully from the instructor. Otherwise, I have no idea how to pass the later stages.”

“I’ve only reached the forty-eighth floor. The instructor has set a deadline to reach the sixtieth floor within a month, and now there are only twenty days left. I’m so anxious. I hope the instructor’s strategy can help me soar…”

Over at the Luoxia Extreme Martial Arts Hall branch, about thirty apprentices also awaited the live broadcast to start.

Ji Ming and Xia Wanru, over the past few months, had become the unequivocal experts. Even their cousin Chen Xiaojia, in order to maintain her status as the top female apprentice, also focused on cultivation. She had become an Eighth Layer Expert and even boasted a record of reaching the sixty-fourth floor in the “Trial Tower.”

“I heard that ‘Kong’ is a master from headquarters, haven’t seen him before.”

“The top-ranking experts are mostly at headquarters. I really hope that one day I can go see it.”

Boss Carmen, standing nearby, said with a smile, “You’ll have the chance. And you can’t just blindly cultivate forever. In a little while, the Martial Arts Hall will organize a mission… Not as training but so you can genuinely partake in the mission, becoming the core force, hmm… When the time comes, headquarters will also join.”
