Chapter 48: Charge, Charge, Charge!
As soon as Xiao Tian stepped into the Symbolist Tower, he was enveloped by a powerful mental pressure that made his entire body feel slightly heavier. The first floor of the tower was about half the size of a plaza. Strong mental waves twisted and distorted in mid-air, giving the illusion of being submerged in a sea of mental energy.
"Hmm!"
Xiao Tian felt waves of mental energy scanning his body. Each scan made the three natal spirit symbols in his Niwan Palace brighter, as if impurities were being purified.
"What a magical place. I feel my soul becoming more refined, even though it's a very subtle sensation," Yao Lao's amazed voice echoed in Xiao Tian's mind.
Xiao Tian nodded in agreement. "Yes, this purification force greatly aids in refining soul power, but it's too weak here."
At that moment, Zi Yue said, "Xiao Tian, they've all moved up to the second floor. Let's go up too!"
"Alright," Xiao Tian agreed, seeing little benefit in staying on this floor. They quickly moved to the second floor, where there were fewer people. Though the purification force was stronger than on the first floor, it still wasn't significant.
The two continued ascending. By the fourth floor, the space became much emptier, with only a few injured symbolists from Yan City.
"It's Senior Sister Zi Yue and Young Master Xiao Tian!" Upon seeing them, the Yan City symbolists became excited.
Seeing this, Zi Yue was furious. "How dare they bully our Yan City symbolists!" She charged at the eight symbolists from Tianhuo City.
Zi Yue's strength exceeded the eight, but she was outnumbered. Xiao Tian naturally couldn't let Zi Yue be bullied.
"Hum!"
He unleashed his soul power, attacking the eight symbolists. Already struggling against Zi Yue, they were heavily injured by Xiao Tian's mental assault.
"What... What powerful mental strength!"
"He must be at least a third-grade symbolist!"
"This tower battle might turn out differently!"
The eight symbolists from Tianhuo City looked grim.
"Zi Yue, let's go!" Xiao Tian said, quickly moving to the fifth floor. On this floor, Liu Long and Cao Zhu from Tianhuo City blocked the entrance to the sixth floor.
Seeing Xiao Tian and Zi Yue, they stood up. Liu Long said, "Zi Yue, you might as well stay here and keep us company!"
"Yes, stay with us, Zi Yue," Cao Zhu added, his eyes gleaming with lewdness.
Hearing this, Xiao Tian's eyes flashed with cold light. Zi Yue was his woman now; he wouldn't tolerate their disrespect.
"Swish!" In an instant, Xiao Tian disappeared.
"Thud! Thud!" When he reappeared, both Liu Long and Cao Zhu were already vomiting blood, flying backward.
"Let's go!" Xiao Tian said, ignoring the two, and moved towards the sixth floor.
"Join forces, Cao Zhu!" Liu Long shouted, and Cao Zhu poured his mental energy into Liu Long's sword.
The sword burst with a blinding red light, slashing at Xiao Tian with a sharp wind that tore through the air.
Xiao Tian didn't dodge. He reached out and grabbed the sword.
"Looking to die?" The two sneered, expecting Xiao Tian to die under their combined attack. But the next moment, they were stunned. The attack hadn't harmed Xiao Tian at all.
"Hum!" A powerful suction force emanated from Xiao Tian's hand. The two were horrified to see their mental strength being absorbed.
"Run!" They turned to flee to the fourth floor, but having attacked Xiao Tian, he wouldn't let them escape.
"Boom! Boom!" With two punches, Xiao Tian obliterated them, absorbing their mental power and natal symbols into his vortex.
Zi Yue, worried, said, "Xiao Tian, the Tianhuo City Symbolist Association is stronger than Yan City. Killing those two might bring trouble."
"Don't worry," Xiao Tian said confidently. "If there's trouble, I'll deal with it."
With Yao Lao's power supporting him, the entire Da Yan Dynasty couldn't challenge him.
Seeing Xiao Tian's confident demeanor, Zi Yue's eyes sparkled with admiration.
...
Outside the Symbolist Tower, Master Yan and the others stared at the tall gray tower. Inside, numerous light dots represented the symbolists. Originally, there were four dots on the fifth floor, but soon, there were none, and two new dots appeared on the sixth floor.
"Did someone die in the tower battle?" This thought made both sides somber. Symbolists who reached the fifth floor were talented, the future pillars of their associations. Losing such talents in the tower battle cast a cold shadow over everyone.
...
On the empty sixth floor, Zhou Tong walked slowly towards the seventh floor. He turned at the sound of footsteps to see Xiao Tian and Zi Yue holding hands.
"Unexpectedly, Yan City has two people on the sixth floor this year," Zhou Tong said. "But you'll still lose. I'll wait for you on the seventh floor." He then crossed the mental barrier to the seventh floor.
"Let's go up too!" Xiao Tian said, pulling Zi Yue towards the seventh floor.
Zi Yue, sweating, said, "You go ahead. My mental strength is still a bit weak. This floor is exhausting."
"I'll escort you to the seventh floor. The cultivation benefits are better there," Xiao Tian replied, enveloping Zi Yue in his mental strength.
With Xiao Tian's help, they quickly crossed the mental barrier to the seventh floor.
"Boom!" A powerful force from all directions tried to expel them, but Xiao Tian's soul power held firm. Together, they entered the seventh floor.
