Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son-Chapter 1572: The Challenges

"Strength is important, but speed is also important." Zhang Fei clenched his fists. "If our speed is slow, we will struggle to defeat enemies with high speed, regardless of our strength. Even if we have high speed, we will not be able to defeat the enemy if our strength is too low. Therefore, we must always balance the two, and we must use our brains to find the enemy’s weaknesses before attacking."

"Did Jian Kuang and the others tell you about me?"

Zhang Fei nodded smilingly. "They told me about your advantages, so I didn’t want to waste time fighting you; otherwise, I would have lost to you."

"Sigh." Wang Yusheng sighed heavily. "My advantage is indeed frightening, but I can’t always rely on it, so I continue to improve myself by fighting many enemies. If I rely solely on that, I will die if I encounter an aggressive enemy with superior strength."

"That’s why I learned a lot of things to survive, so my enemies won’t be able to predict my every move." Zhang Fei looked towards the Tower of Eternity. "By the way, did you two come here to challenge the Tower, Senior?"

Wang Yusheng also looked towards the tower. "If you want to improve your fighting skills, you can fight all the beasts in this forest. If you want to strengthen your body and soul, you should go to the tower and undergo all the challenges there, which are beneficial for both. I have challenged the tower thousands of times, but I haven’t been able to climb to the third floor because I couldn’t pass the final challenge on the second floor."

"Can you tell me about all the challenges on the first and second floors?"

"Yusheng!"

Wang Yusheng looked at Wang Jingzhi, who had already walked away. "Come join us; I will tell you about all the challenges."

"Alright."

The two immediately followed behind Wang Jingzhi. "On the first floor, we will face many challenges, such as gravity, extreme pressure, extreme weather, and many more."

"How heavy is gravity there?"

"Hmm? If I remember correctly, the gravity there is only about twenty times heavier at maximum. The challenges there are random, so we can’t predict when they will appear." Zhang Fei was disappointed to hear that because it was too light for him. "For some people, twenty times gravity is too heavy, and it becomes even more difficult when combined with extreme pressure, and it took me dozens of times challenging the tower to pass it."

"So, several challenges can come out at once, huh?"

"Yes," Wang Yusheng nodded at him. "Normally, only one or two challenges will appear at a time, but we can’t predict the situation inside the tower. Last time I challenged the tower, four challenges appeared at once, and I almost died from that."

"Oh? What are the four challenges?"

"Ten times gravity, extreme pressure, extreme weather, and extreme places."

"Extreme places?"

"At that time, I was faced with an extremely hot desert, which made my body lose a lot of fluids."

"That hot?" Zhang Fei was shocked.

"Extremely hot! Even our drinking water will evaporate faster, so we have to move really fast if we want to drink and store it again."

"Besides that?"

Wang Yusheng looked at Wang Jingzhi in front of them. "In the past, my sister encountered a labyrinth teeming with numerous creatures, yet it was also brimming with valuable items. She found her mirror there, but she didn’t get through it easily, and she suffered serious injuries to complete it, forcing her to rest for several years."

"Eh? Are those creatures powerful?"

"They are extremely powerful," Wang Yusheng replied with a nod. "In fact, hundreds or even thousands of people have died when facing those challenges, so you must be careful when you enter that tower. I advise you not to bring your women with minimal fighting experience there, or they will throw away their lives for nothing. If you want them to train there, you must bring those with real experience in fighting and survival."

"Do other cultivators often cause trouble there?"

"Most only care about those challenges, but some ignore them and attack other cultivators." Wang Yusheng looked around before continuing. "Fortunately, this Paradise Realm has changed, and there are no demons present. Usually, they are the ones who cause trouble by attacking other cultivators, especially the demons of the Heavenly Fiend Demon Race and the Torture Demon Race. The demons of both races are extremely cruel, especially the latter, and many members of other races died at their hands in the past."

"The Heavenly Fiend Demon Race and the Torture Demon Race, huh?" Zhang Fei himself was curious about the demons of both races. "What about the challenges on the second floor, Senior?"

"Haish." Wang Yusheng let out a heavy sigh as he patted his shoulder. "All the challenges on the second floor are extremely dangerous, especially for those with weak soul power. Believe it or not, many cultivators have fallen victim to all the challenges on the second floor. Many of them died there, and several others became like soulless puppets."

"Challenges that can destroy the soul, huh?"

"Are all your wives soul cultivators with high soul cultivation levels? If their soul power is weak, they should not force themselves to go to the second floor; otherwise, they will die or become soulless puppets."

"Although most of their cultivation is still at the Celestial King Realm, their soul power is much higher than their cultivation."

"If their soul cultivation reaches the saint soul level, they can go to the second floor to try those challenges. However, they must first pass all the challenges on the first floor, and you cannot assist them in doing so."

"I see." Zhang Fei wasn’t worried about the challenges on the second floor because all his wives had very high soul cultivations, but he was worried that they wouldn’t be able to pass the challenges on the first floor. "Are you two going straight to the tower?"

"We came here specifically to challenge the tower, and we hope to reach the third floor this time."

Zhang Fei nodded slightly. "In that case, we’ll meet there later, Senior. For now, I need to go meet with them to ensure that the other cultivators won’t disturb or attack them, and I’ll go to the tower afterward."

"Alright," Wang Yusheng sighed after Zhang Fei disappeared and immediately followed his sister, who was far ahead. "What do you think of him, Big Sis?"

"A playboy and a pervert." Wang Jingzhi’s answer made Wang Yusheng smile bitterly. "I have to admit that he’s an extraordinary cultivator, especially his speed. I feel that he wasn’t using his full speed when he sparred with you earlier, as my mirror couldn’t track his movements, and his speed was likely several times higher."

"Do you know how heavy his punch is, Big Sis?"

"Hmm?"

"His punching power is much heavier than our uncle’s." Wang Jingzhi looked at him straight away. "I didn’t lie to you, Big Sis. His punch seemed light, but my hand is still numb now, and he could crush my hand bones if he used all his strength. He said that he had already used all his strength, but I’m sure he saved some of his strength because many other cultivators were here."

Wang Jingzhi nodded in understanding. "If that’s true, the Moonlit Passion Temple is truly fortunate to have him, and the sect will become even greater than the Divine Samsara Sect in the future."

"Speaking of the Divine Samsara Sect, several of their top disciples are on their way to this domain, and they should arrive soon."

"Where did you get this news?"

"Our cousin, Wang Tieshan." Wang Jingzhi’s expression turned ugly upon hearing that name. "Do you still hate him, Big Sis?"

"Don’t you hate him?" Wang Yusheng shuddered as the hair on the back of his neck stood up at his big sister’s cold tone. "Wang Tieshan was the cause of our parents’ deaths, but he forgot their sacrifice, and he looked down on our Wang Clan after he joined the Divine Samsara Sect."

Wang Yusheng inwardly sighed. "Our cousin used to be so kind, and our parents sacrificed their lives for him. Unfortunately, he changed after he joined the Divine Samsara Sect, and he became even more arrogant after he became Liang Huizhong’s direct disciple."

"I wanted to kill him, but the people from that sect would attack our clan, so I always held back."

"I know." After that, the two of them accelerated their steps towards the Tower of Eternity.

"What do you think about Wang Yusheng?" Jian Kuang asked as Zhang Fei appeared by his side.

"He’s not bad, and I like his character. Luckily, you all told me about his advantages, so I ended our spar early."

"Hahaha," Jian Kuang laughed. "Wang Yusheng is a good person, and he is willing to help others in need. However, Wang Jingzhi is different from him, and she is very cold. She doesn’t like interfering in other people’s affairs, and she won’t move even if she sees people in danger."

"Isn’t that much better? If we’re too nice, others will stab us in the back, and we’ll be the ones who suffer, right?"

"Yeah," Jian Kuang nodded. "Wang Jingzhi has a grudge against the Divine Samsara Sect, especially her cousin, Wang Tieshan."

"What happened between them?" Jian Kuang immediately told Zhang Fei about their problems based on his knowledge. "Only a fool would abandon his family for a sect, especially since his family has helped and sacrificed so much for him."

"Are you going into the Tower of Eternity now? We can protect all your wives, so you don’t have to worry about their safety."

"I’ll check on them first, and then I’ll bring some of them to the tower."
