Hao Ren dashed at the three headed floor guardian and despite being quick in his step, the guardian raised his arm and shoved a palm to attack the young man. hao Ren was quick on his feet and didn't underestimate his enemy, he took a step to the side while charging ahead. He closed in on the guardian and then used his weight transfer to shoot up in the void, and appear before the main head of the guardian.
The young man clenched his fist and said, "Flame Fist."
He punched the stone head, and after his hand came into contact with the stone, he channeled a strong flame from inside his body. The flame was akin to a fluid that covered the head of the statue and carbonized it within a matter of seconds. Hao Ren didn't fall to the ground, he then raised his left fist and said, "Titan Fist."
The left punch hit the scorched surface of the statue head, and the impact cause the carbonized stone to crack and shatter. Crumbs of all different sizes fell on the ground, Hao Ren looked at the other two heads and found them staring back at him with some horror in their eyes.
However, the young man didn't intend to stop. He stood on the stump where the main head was attached and attacked the two heads with the same move. The Guardian didn't even had the time to react before the three heads vanished and fell on the ground. Hao Ren landed on the ground and put his hands behind his back as he walked through the gate leading to floor thirty-second.
The two girls who watched the entire scene with their own eyes, looked at each other before they decided to run back up, and tell the people what this young man was capable of.
Hao Ren entered the next floor and asked the beasts if they know where he could find the Nagas, but they attacked him directly and he had no choice but too kill them.
On the ground floor, outside in the gathering hall, the people were looking at the point board with dazed expressions. They had no idea how Hao Ren was fighting and raking up points at such a speed. Just then two figures appeared next to the exit gate, and they were taken aback by looking at the crowd. They exchanged gazes and approached the reception counter where a young man was watching the board change every few seconds at a breakneck speed.
The young man heard someone was knocking the table and then he looked at the two beauties as he asked, "Xiao An, Xiao Tan, what are you two doing outside the dungeon? Didn't you promise that you would only come out when you have crossed the floor?"
Xiao Tan and Xiao An looked at each other and they placed an image stone each on the table and Xiao Tan said, "You know what? There is a genius in the labyrinth and he fights so well, those beasts have no chance against him. We were surrounded by a big pack of Jade wolves, and that man directly killed the pack leader with his bare hands. Do you understand what I mean? Bare hands."
They didn't know that their discussion had attracted a lot of gazes. The young man on the counter sensed five intense gazes on him and asked, "Did you get it recorded on the image stone."
The girls nodded and the man behind the counter picked up a stone and channeled his spiritual energy through the stone, which then produced a spiritual screen in the void and a scene unfolded before them all. They found how Hao Ren broke through the thirty-first floor guardian and gained so many points.
The experts sighed and replied, "Sheer strength and conceptual understanding. Look, he didn't make any unnecessary movement and saved himself some energy and at the sametime it was lethal to follow this attack style."
The five people exchanged gazes and they all so flames of war erupting in those eyes. They wanted to win over Hao Ren even if they had to bend down and gift their asses to him. This text is hosted at novel·fıre·net
Elder Shen came back to the Dragon Hall and he found the old dog sleeping on the table. He approached the dog and said, "Elder Gun, that young man, Hao Ren, he is a monster."
The old dog opened his eyes and asked, "Little Shen do you have anything against monsters?"
Old Shen shivered and shook his head like a rattle and said, "Elder, what I mean is that this guy is already on the thirty second floor, he is so strong that the people from the five halls want to fight and win him over."
The old dog closed his eyes and said, "Little Shen, you know what sort of people would try to gain someone's favor by spending money?"
Elder Shen sighed and replied, "The ones who climbed the top by spending money are the ones who would try to gain favor from people by using money as leverage as well."
The dog nodded and said, "Hao Ren didn't feel like someone who would favor money, what he is looking for is strength and strength will come to him when he walks the path without any hesitation in his mind, and conviction that he would get to the line where he wants to be."
Elder Shen nodded and a sudden tremor spread around the Dragon Hall, causing the Old Dog to bark in the side."
The bark was strong and the tremor vanished after that. Elder Shen sighed out in relief and said, "Had it not been for you, things would have looked very different from what it is now."
The old dog didn't comment, he was very strong, but nobody apart from Elder Shen knew about it.
Hao Ren had just finished fighting with a group of apes, and he was now sitting on the ground with his eyes closed. He took a deep breath and looked around before taking out a talisman. He channeled his spiritual energy through it, and imprinted his thoughts on it before sending it out.
Communication talismans were good things, they could get through almost everywhere unless the place was a isolated by a spatial array.
This whole labyrinth had many layers over it, but the isolation arrays were not similar to the space locking ones. Hao Ren sighed and said, "System, what is the point of all this?"
The system replied, *I don't know what is the point of it all myself. When I was created by the spiritual energy and your desire, I thought I would be able to change your life in a snap. However, as we both moved forward, I realized that we were very weak. I was updated and yet, I still didn't manage to get you to the level, where if your wife asks you for a star, you would be able to pluck one from the sky. Host, I am really not sure what is the point of all this.*
The young man was shocked, he asked, "Are you for real, right now?"
*Did you fall for it? Loser. I am only saying things so that you can shut up and focus on getting stronger. Finish visiting the seven cities and get the reward. Did you not understand those simple words? Why are you dwelling in the labyrinth?*
Hao Ren was surprised, and then he said, "Well, I heard that their is a dragon in the lowest level here, so it would be nice if I could tame it and control it to ride."
*Foolish, there must be some limit to your wild ambitions. That dragon is already mad, and crazy, you want to tame it? That is just as simple as calling for death. You can tell me and I will disintegrate you completely.*
The young man thought about it and said, "Taking a look will also kill me?"
The system replied *Not sure, depends on how strong your will is. The dragon is going crazy and if you approach it, the mad aura it has would wash on you and then lead you into mania as well.*
Hao Ren nodded and said, "I hear you, but I will be careful, just one look and then leave."
The system replied, *You can actually try to kill it, you know?*
Hao Ren froze and asked, "What do you mean? Killing a dragon? That's absurd. That thing would be in the world realm at the minimum."
*They are not that exaggerated. Just do it if you want to. The mad dragon has its own weakness, and all you need to do it discover that weakness and it might play in your favor. If you failed to survive, I will get your name published in the paper and tell your family that you loved them.*
Hao Ren wanted to retort but he didn't know how to, so he chose to move forward through the floors.
