--- Chapter 275 ---
A Frying Pan??
Huo Yuhao and others looked at the cast-iron pan above the blue-haired girl's right hand bizarrely.
It has a rusty luster that makes one look down on it instinctively, but they also know this kind of Martial Soul always has the most awkward and unpredictable development.
"This..." Huo Yuhao was speechless. It seemed he had changed this heroine's fate too much.
In the original story, Huang Qiu'er is strong, but she's not this strong.
Not to mention, she wasn't supposed to appear this early because of Tang San's intervention. Yes, the so-called mighty god who shouldn't mess with the mortal world.
Although Huang Qiu'er possessed the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, her prowess was limited as she could only manifest the Golden Dragon Blood Soul.
What's Blood Soul?
Well, it's a Martial Soul that's not developed with spirit rings nor energy, but blood rings and blood energy like Huo Yuhao's Chaotic Dragon Emperor's Martial Soul.
So, technically speaking.
Huang Qiu'er should have three martial souls.
Her mutated Golden Dragon was 'directly' influenced by Huo Yuhao's three drops of War Beast's Blood and Destiny Contract.
Herself, who is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Lastly, this Frying Pan!
This Frying Pan shouldn't be your 'common' frying pan because Twin-! No, Triplet Martial Souls always comes in a comparable quality.
Mildly put, this Frying Pan has the potential to become a Divine Tool.
It is such funny logic.
But that's just how it is in this Douluo Dalu Bizarre World.
Now that Huo Yuhao thought about it, he had never seen this girl's status panel.
'Evo.'

Huo Yuhao's eyes wandered to the Martial Soul's column and sighed inside because Huang Qiu'er really has Triplet Martial Soul.
'The Three-Eyed Golden Lion probably didn't show up because it was herself in the first place.' He thought to himself.
He slowly glanced at the Recommended Path column and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Evo won't lie to him when scanning Huang Qiu'er and her potential, so he expected some outrageous path already.
Yet there is still a Heaven-Destroying Pan Wielder!
Huo Yuhao facepalmed, 'My guess is indeed correct. Her Frying Pan is going to be a dangerous weapon.'
As Huang Qiu'er recovered from her exhaustion and injury, Ophis walked to her and said, "Not bad. You're not too weak."
"Thanks." Huang Qiu'er flashed a smile.
Ophis shook her little body and quickly added, "But! That doesn't mean you can win Yuhao! He's mine!"
What is this? A love triangle drama?
After declaring her bold words, Ophis walked away and pulled out a lollipop to lick on confidently. She also has this smug look on her cute face.
Where is the big-mouthed dragon girl earlier? Her nature changed so haphazardly.
Even Huang Qiu'er was a little speechless.
Huang Qiu'er clenched her hand hard because she knew Ophis was more powerful than her. But that doesn't mean she would give up and let the Dragon God of Infinity bully her.
'Just wait, I will surpass you with my Master's Destiny Contract.' Huang Qiu'er glanced at her teacher, Huang Yuna, and saw her nodding gently.
Huang Yuna smiled a little, 'That's right, Qiu'er. Stay calm and collected in front of your enemy. Do not let them take advantage of your weakness.'
Yae's eyes flashed in wonder between Ophis and Huang Qiu'er before licking her lips hungrily.
This girls' competition is going to be interesting.
"That's Ophis for you, desu~!" Meanwhile, Kunou happily supported her friend.
"Mm." Ophis nodded confidently.
Scathach and Qianye Ying'er yawned and looked at Huo Yuhao.
"Yuhao, should we continue to the next floor?"
"We should." Huo Yuhao responded with a chuckle. "The 100th floor is just the beginning. Some rewards on the higher floor might surprise you."
Everyone raised their brows at his words. Although they trusted Huo Yuhao, they couldn't take his words for granted.
It also caused their battle spirit to get ignited.
And the Preliminary Round continued.
The contestants and teams fell one after another by climbing the Tower of Babylon's higher floors. Of course, several teams surprised everyone because some were unheard of, like Ironblood Alliance.
The three teams, which were the facade of the Holy Ghost Church, also showed spectacular performance as their Saintesses breeze through the Tower of Babylon's floors.
We also haven't counted other teams with experts from the Draconic Deus mixed in. Although the holographic screen didn't show their performance, their team's ranking kept racing against each other.
At noon, the Tower of Babylon is bustling with people.
Every team has passed the 100th floor and experienced the rich rewards from the Tower of Babylon. However, the effect was several times weaker than the one Huang Qiu'er got because they didn't have Spirit Circuits nor train Universal Breathing Technique.
Even then, the rewards are still mouth-watering.
It was also a game changer for them because they could grow in the Tower of Babylon and challenge higher floors better. Not by much, though.
Some teams literally failed on the 101st floor.
Half a day later, only thirty teams are still in the Tower of Babylon. They gritted their teeth in the face of a terrifying boss on the 130th floor.
They thought fighting three over 100,000-year-old spirit beasts had proven their strength, but they couldn't do anything against this spirit beast.
Yes, this also applied to the people from the Draconic Deus because they couldn't use their inborn powers on this enemy.
If not for the restriction Huo Yuhao added in their inside tournament and these pig-like teammates, they could have reached the 150th floor or higher.
"Fuck, you guys are so useless! At the very least, dodge! Fucking dodge the boss's attack!" Vali Lucifer cursed at his teammates. They are dragging him down like a dead weight.
On the other hand, Sairaorg Bael clasped his hand and recited, "This is a trial for my Dao Heart. I hope my foundation will gain qualitative changes as I finish this floor."
Arthur Pendragon and Le Fay Pendragon because this challenge is much more problematic than they thought. Unlike Vali Lucifer and Sairaorg Bael, they formed their own team called Sword and Magic School.
Their performance was doing fine until they arrived at the 130th floor.
"This boss is pretty much undefeatable." Arthur Pendragon fixed his glasses while dodging to the left.
"Fey, don't you think Lord Yuhao is a little too much?"
The witch sighed wryly, "There must be a reason..."
"We are talking about Yuhao-sama here."
Thud! Thud!
The sound of thumping steps echoed on the 130th floor.
A massive body of translucent water gathered and formed this giant slime that couldn't be affected by physical, energy, or elemental attacks. They tried using mental attack, but this spirit beast is pretty much mindless.
Everyone has been trying to find a way to defeat this spirit beast, but nothing has worked for hours!
"GOD DAMN IT!" Azazel's shout echoed.
Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao and his team members arrived at the last floor.
They entered the throne room and saw a golden-haired figure sitting on a throne made of swords and thorns. Everyone except Huo Yuhao froze like an ice statue as they stared at the figure.
"Yuhao, you're not getting away with this!" Scathach couldn't help but complain. Yes, out of everyone, she was surprisingly the one who complained about the 210th Floor Boss.
It makes one wonder just what kind of boss would made the God Slayer this annoyed?
Huo Yuhao smiled and answered, "What's the matter, Shishou? Don't you think this is a much better boss than those spirit beasts?"
Since Huo Yuhao first ever thought of creating this tower, he always wanted to temper his subordinates to their very limit.
But here is the problem.
As he said earlier, Spirit Beast Bosses won't do anymore.
He needs a more challenging and dangerous boss.
Something beyond this mortal realm and world.
With himself as the base, Huo Yuhao practically made an artificial demi-god before he went to the Shrek Academy and placed it on the 210th floor.
This is also another reason why this tower is called the Tower of Babylon.
