“Captain, is Asura Slash the skill you use?” Wang Yuanyuan asked suddenly.
Long Haochen nodded and said, “Yes!”
Wang Yuanyuan smiled, “This skill suits me better than Asura Thrust. That skeleton just gave me one. I’ll practice it when I get back.”
After Sima Xian got the Light Power Pill, his attack power even surpassed hers. Wang Yuanyuan had always been competitive and had been holding back. She happened to get the Asura Slash, which complemented her Titan Shield perfectly.
Long Haochen said, “How about this, let Caier stay here alone for the experiment, and you all come back with me. Caier can recover her spiritual power here, but you can’t.”
Although he was reluctant to leave Caier behind, he believed in putting others first, and Caier had clearly told him once again that the aura of death here was very beneficial to her cultivation and even gave her some new insights into the Samsara Spiritual Furnace.
After leaving Caier not far from the tower gate, Long Haochen activated Eternal Melody’s teleportation.
Back in Long Haochen’s quiet room, everyone else returned to their rooms to cultivate. It turned out that Long Haochen’s idea was feasible. Leaving people in the Eternal Tower was possible. However, he did not give up trying to teleport, and still tried every half hour. He always felt uneasy leaving Caier there.
Six hours later, he felt he could teleport again and gathered his companions to his side before eagerly returning to Caier’s side.
Caier was fine, still cultivating in the same place. Long Haochen specifically brought food and water, fed her first, and after everyone rested for a while, they continued their new challenge.
However, changes occurred again.
The tests of the first three levels had disappeared. But just when they thought that the assessment had not reappeared because Caier had not left with them, the six skeleton warriors and four wraith assassins of the fourth level reappeared.
Their lack of preparation led to chaos, and they barely managed to kill the ten enemies with all their abilities. However, they had no chance to continue challenging the fifth level.
The Eternal Tower seemed to be an unknown quantity. Until now, they did not seem to have found its true pattern. Helpless, they returned to the real world to cultivate again. Long Haochen and everyone agreed to gather again in six hours and teleport directly.
During this time, Long Haochen went to his grandmaster, Han Qian, and learned the basic skills of a sixth-order Guardian Knight. And the Eternal Tower was the perfect place for him to practice.
In the following days, they entered the Eternal Tower twice a day. As time went on, they gradually figured out some rules.
The disappearance of the first three levels was not because of Caier’s initial stay, but because they had passed the fourth level. From then on, the first three levels never appeared again.
After several attempts, they finally saw the guardian of the fifth level.
Five skeleton knights and five wraith assassins. After passing the fourth level and then accepting the fifth level challenge, they were under tremendous pressure. Although the seventh-level Evil Eye prevented the skeleton knights from unleashing the terrifying attacks of the ghost thorns, these undead creatures were still extremely powerful. Fortunately, Lin Xin consumed a Greater Spirit Restoration Pill at a crucial moment, allowing him to release the Fire Curse again, which restrained the wraiths and helped them pass the fifth level.
But obviously, they did not have the strength to challenge the sixth level yet. Because after entering again, they still had to start from the fourth level.
Therefore, they practiced on the fourth and fifth levels every day. Of course, they also tried different combat methods as much as possible and evenly distributed the spiritual power orbs.
Faced with the pressure from the undead creatures, the cooperation between them became more and more tacit. More importantly, even if seven people were improving together, each person could still gain nearly sixty spiritual power points per day. After ten days, Caier, Lin Xin, Han Yu, and Wang Yuanyuan reached the four thousand spiritual power bottleneck one after another. Even Sima Xian and Chen Ying’er exceeded three thousand six hundred.
Absorbing spiritual power orbs after reaching the bottleneck was a waste. Therefore, Sima Xian and Chen Ying’er naturally became the focus of attention.
The fourth and fifth levels of the first floor of the Eternal Tower could provide twenty spiritual power orbs every day, which meant that the two of them could each increase their spiritual power by two hundred points every day.
Two days later, when Sima Xian and Chen Ying’er also reached the fourth-order bottleneck, everyone felt like they were dreaming.
Before coming here, who would have thought that they could reach the peak of the fifth order so quickly? As long as they made a breakthrough, they could all become sixth-order powerhouses.
Now, except for Long Haochen, everyone else’s spiritual power had reached the bottleneck, and the spiritual power orbs naturally belonged to Long Haochen.
However, Long Haochen soon told everyone some bad news: the spiritual power orbs were no longer effective.
This situation occurred after Long Haochen’s inner spiritual power broke through five thousand. The spiritual power orbs were completely ineffective for him. He absorbed several one after another, but they no longer had any effect on his improvement.
This situation could not help but make the twenty-first demon hunting squad a little flustered. They were used to improving rapidly, but suddenly they were back to square one, and this feeling was definitely not comfortable.
“How could this happen? Could it be that spiritual power can only be increased to five thousand, and that’s the limit?” Lin Xin asked eagerly.
Long Haochen did not say anything, but fell into deep thought.
After a while, Long Haochen said in a deep voice, “This may be a limitation of the Eternal Tower. After all, our current cultivation speed is too fast. If we continue to cultivate at this speed, we might have the chance to reach the seventh order in a year. Let’s try the sixth level. If the spiritual power orbs given by the sixth level still can’t improve my cultivation, then it means that, at least in the first layer of the Eternal Tower, the limit of spiritual power improvement is five thousand points.”

Hearing Long Haochen say the words “first layer”, everyone’s anxious expressions calmed down a bit. Yes! They were only on the first layer now. The Eternal Tower had seven layers. Who said that the layers above couldn’t provide them with something similar to the spiritual power orbs?
Han Yu sighed and said, “We should be content too. How many people can improve their cultivation to the peak of the fifth order at such a speed? After breaking through to the sixth order, everyone will have spiritual apertures, and the cultivation speed will naturally increase. Cultivating here is too easy, and it may not be a good thing for us.”
Wang Yuanyuan nodded and said, “Han Yu is right. If everything comes too easily, it means it’s not solid. I estimate that because our spiritual power is improving too quickly, breaking through the sixth order may be more troublesome.”
Long Haochen suddenly laughed, “That’s not necessarily true! To break through the bottleneck, you need enough pressure. And in this Eternal Tower, there is no shortage of pressure. Let’s continue to challenge the sixth level.”
Now everyone except him was at the peak of the fifth order. Passing the fourth and fifth levels had reduced the consumption for them a lot.
What would the sixth level be like? According to the current distance, the first level might have nine or ten levels. And each level was more difficult. Would the pressure be less? Even if they couldn’t improve their spiritual power here, it was enough to feel the pressure here. With the Epic Soul Chain, Life Sharing equipment, even if they were killed in training here, Long Haochen was confident that he could protect everyone’s lives with a gradual approach.
To break through the bottleneck, the greater the pressure, the greater the effect. Didn’t Long Haochen break through under the pressure of the eighth-order Moon Demon?
With the formation set up, they continued forward under the leadership of Long Haochen. It was their first time to meet the challenge of the sixth level.
This time, they walked a full ten steps before a change suddenly appeared in front of them.
A beam of white light descended from the sky. Unlike the undead creatures that had appeared before, which materialized with a flash of light, this beam of white light remained there as a pillar of light.
Then, at the top of the light pillar, a ball of red light quietly appeared, and below it was a skeleton warrior they had encountered before.
The ball of red light was actually a wraith, a red wraith, which was the first time Long Haochen and the others had seen it. The red wraith slowly descended toward the skeleton warrior.
Long Haochen tentatively sent out a Light Slash Sword, but the light blade disappeared on its own when it touched the white pillar of light. This meant that the contact between the red wraith and the white skeleton could not be stopped.
After careful observation, Long Haochen discovered that although this descending wraith was the same size as other wraiths, it was much more solid. If the bodies of different wraiths were full of transparency, then it had an almost substantial texture, looking more like a real mass of energy.
Even before he could trigger the memory imprinted in his mind, the name of this wraith appeared in his consciousness.
Soul of a Strongman. Only strongmen with outstanding talents in life could retain their original attributes after death. If they became true undead creatures, they would be even more powerful than those without consciousness.
“Everyone be careful, that red wraith is the Soul of a Strongman, which may not only have combat instincts, but also have certain combat skills, and it’s fire attribute. Lin Xin, don’t use Fire Curse, and fully help everyone with defense.”
Same-element magic has the ability to reduce attribute damage during defense, but it will naturally be weakened when attacking.
Just as Long Haochen was speaking, the red Soul of a Strongman had merged with the skeleton warrior below. The originally lifeless skeleton warrior slowly raised its head, and two strong red lights appeared in its eyes. Then, its body suddenly turned fiery red, and its bones rapidly grew in a teeth-aching crunching sound. In the blink of an eye, it grew by a meter, turning into a giant skeleton warrior three meters tall –
