#450 - Chapter 449 Rewards for the Eighth Floor!
Tonight's wind was strong, as strong as a robber, merely brushing past Qi Mingyue's hair, it took away the color from his face, and the remaining light in his eyes.
His eyes were slightly red, and he asked in as calm a tone as possible: "I... I don't quite understand..."
"My abilities are limited, I can't protect many people. Your closeness will only make the burden on my shoulders heavier. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Li Chenqiu's gaze slightly hardened.
"So… the me who can't catch up to you, can only be classified as…"
"A burden."
After Li Chenqiu finished speaking the last two words, he turned and walked straight towards the Linglong Pagoda, leaving Qi Mingyue alone in place.
"A burden?"
Qi Mingyue lowered his head, his whole person as if his spine had been pulled out, swaying in the night wind.
The soreness in his eyes forced him to raise his hand, covering his eyes, and his staggering body forced him to bend his knees and squat down.
In a completely unfamiliar place, if there are relatives, then this place is not cold, and unfamiliarity is only temporary.
So Qi Mingyue lived with hope every day, because he believed that sooner or later, everything around him would become no longer cold.
But today he didn't believe it anymore. His father died in a car accident, his grandfather died in the hospital ward, and his best friend also left. From then on, there would be no more relatives...
...
Because Li Chenqiu had cleared the first seven floors of the Linglong Pagoda, as soon as he entered the entrance, he was directly teleported to the eighth floor.
"Damn, the eighth floor of the Linglong Pagoda is lit up, someone has come to challenge the eighth floor!!!" A sharp-eyed person noticed the abnormality of the eighth floor and shouted loudly.
In an instant, the people outside the tower all looked up.
"It's really lit up! Is it that 'Qiu' from ten days ago?"
"I don't know, but if nothing unexpected happens, it should be!"
"If it's 'Qiu', I wonder how long he can last this time..."
"I'm going offline to post, I'll be right back, you help me keep track of the time!"
The outside of the tower was bustling, and the inside of the tower was quiet.
Summer night, evening breeze, prairie, everything was as it was.
"You have been teleported to the eighth floor of the Linglong Pagoda. The guardian's cultivation level has been suppressed to the seventh level of forbidden. He will appear in ten seconds and launch an attack on you. Good luck." The familiar female voice sounded again.
As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding air walls disappeared.
Without hesitation, Li Chenqiu moved his feet, dragging blurry afterimages on the grass. The slender blood lines reflected his trajectory, gradually perfecting the Soul Devouring Diagram.
"Faster! Faster!"
Li Chenqiu gritted his teeth, calculating the time in his heart.
Five seconds... four seconds... three seconds... two seconds... one second... zero!
In an instant, Li Chenqiu's scalp tightened instantly. The strong wind coming from behind stirred his hair, and at the same time, he drew the last stroke of the Soul Devouring Diagram.
Buzz——
The unremarkable Soul Devouring Diagram suddenly burst out with dazzling blood light, and several blood-colored whips as thick as wrists appeared out of thin air, and quickly pierced in the same direction.
Puff puff puff——
A series of flesh-piercing sounds rang out.
Li Chenqiu's tense scalp gradually relaxed. He turned his head and saw Fu Yuesheng, naked from the waist up, stopped dozens of meters away. The several blood-colored whips pierced through his body, imprisoning him in place.
Fu Yuesheng said in disbelief: "This... what kind of method is this..."
Li Chenqiu supported his knees and slowly straightened up: "Your method."
"Mine..." A look of doubt appeared in Fu Yuesheng's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, the blood-colored whip suddenly began to shake!
Boom!
A muffled explosion suddenly sounded, and Fu Yuesheng turned into spots of faint light, floating towards Li Chenqiu.
"Is this the Soul Devouring that Fu Yuesheng mentioned?"
Li Chenqiu raised his arm, allowing the light spots to fall on his body and merge into his body.
Itchy, warm, this was his first feeling, and then...
"Hmm!"
Li Chenqiu groaned, his eyes instantly covered with bloodshot eyes, his forehead, the back of his hands, his neck, and his arms, all burst into blue veins, extremely hideous and terrifying!
What kind of pain was that?
Li Chenqiu found it difficult to describe. He only felt that his head was filled with hot lava, which was extremely hot and painful, as if it was about to explode in the next second!
"Ugh——"
Li Chenqiu gritted his teeth, his knees softened and he fell to the ground, his ten fingers tightly inserted into the soil.
"Endure it, endure it, it will be over soon..."
...
Outside the Linglong Pagoda
Rumble——
The honest and well-behaved Linglong Stele suddenly started to go crazy, emitting dazzling golden light, which could be clearly seen even from a distance.
"Th-th-this... what's going on! ?"
"Why is the Linglong Stele suddenly so bright???"
"With such a big commotion, could it be that 'Qiu' has cleared the eighth floor!" Someone boldly speculated.
"Congratulations to the Linglong Pagoda challenger 'Qiu' for clearing the Linglong Pagoda!"
A deep and powerful voice resounded in this world, reaching everyone's ears.
In an instant, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the Linglong Pagoda with shocked expressions.
"Challenger 'Qiu' cleared the Linglong Pagoda??!"
"Does that mean the eighth floor of the Linglong Pagoda has been cleared?!"
"Holy moly, this 'Qiu' has created history!"
"What are you waiting for, quickly quit and re-select the login location. If you're late, you won't be able to see 'Qiu'!"
After the announcement sounded, the entire Spirit Illusion Realm completely boiled. All the students actively quit the Spirit Illusion Realm and set the teleportation location at the Linglong Pagoda.
In less than a moment, the front of the Linglong Pagoda was crowded with people, and it was still increasing.
"Qiu, the record holder for clearing the eighth floor of the Linglong Pagoda, awesome, he really cleared the eighth floor!"
"One person occupies eight records of the Linglong Pagoda, too fierce!"
"I can now determine that this 'Qiu' is not Li Chenqiu. Li Chenqiu cannot have such strength!"
"This 'Qiu' has cleared the level, why hasn't he come out yet!"
The students gathered together, chattering non-stop, while staring at the entrance and exit of the Linglong Pagoda with fiery eyes.
"So amazing..."
Qi Mingyue, standing in the distance, grinned and slowly closed his eyes.
...
Linglong Pagoda, Eighth Floor
I don't know how long it took, but Li Chenqiu's complexion gradually returned to normal. He supported the ground with his hands and stood up with unsteady steps.
"It really hurts!"
Li Chenqiu reached out and patted his head, saying weakly.
This level of pain can only be compared to the time when he forcibly broke through the second level of forbidden in North Huang Mountain!
"Congratulations on successfully clearing the Linglong Pagoda. Rewards are being distributed, please wait." A heavenly voice sounded on the eighth floor.
Li Chenqiu's face showed joy, and his eyes were full of expectation: "There really are treasures!"
After waiting quietly for a few minutes, the voice sounded again.
"Rewards have been distributed."
"Huh?" Li Chenqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a puzzled look: "Where are the rewards..."
Thump!
A dull and powerful heartbeat echoed in Li Chenqiu's mind...
