Chapter 1601

Scopulus looked irritated. Did Yusri really have to ask such a stupid question? He replied, "The towers, obviously. The Tower of Babel and Tower of Divinity." The answer was just as he expected. Yusri said with a smile, "No. It's the emerald bed in each contestant's room."Emerald bed? Scopulus frowned, thinking it over. "The towers are important, sure, but the beds are crucial! How can anyone go all-out in the towers without the beds for recovery? Don't you agree?" Scopulus' eyes lit up. That actually made sense. For contestants, both towers posed minimal danger since they could withdraw with a single thought if things got dicey. Doing so, however, meant they were injured. With only one precious year, injuries would prevent further tower attempts, which made healing essential. That was exactly what the emerald beds were for. These incredibly rare items that were exclusive to Star Alliance could heal not just physical wounds but soul injuries, too. "Are you suggesting

To Felix's surprise, the fake Felix also used Dragon Punches. There was no defense—just a perfect mirror of Felix's attacks, blow for blow in a total clash of offense. After several minutes, Felix was stunned. He'd exhausted his techniques, yet his opponent maintained perfect parity with him. Neither could gain any advantage. Both towers came with explanations and instructions. For example, when entering the Tower of Babel, soul cultivation techniques couldn't be used and would be restricted by some mysterious force. Similarly, in the Tower of Divinity, martial arts couldn't be utilized. Felix had tested this on the first floor. It was indeed true—his soul energy remained unaffected no matter how he tried to activate it. "You disappoint me." Getting mocked by the tower-created duplicate, Felix grew angry and activated Lone Paragon. Yet, his next punch left him completely shocked. The fake Felix's punch still matched his exactly, showing no difference from before. This was a

Though Felix knew Helen couldn't really help, he still described his experience on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel. Helen listened with wide eyes, clearly never having heard of anything like this before. "That's so tough! If he can do everything you can do, how can you possibly win?" Felix sighed and kept drinking. If he couldn't crack this, he planned to try the Tower of Babel one more time before switching to the Tower of Divinity. But giving up on improving his martial skills felt wrong—chances like this were once in a lifetime. "Felix, my family was actually pretty powerful back in the day. Our founder, the first elder, left behind some advice. "He said that for martial artists to reach their peak, they need to grasp the Way of Mind. Without it, you can only go so far. I think if you can cultivate the Way of Mind, you'd break through your current roadblock." The Way of Mind? Felix was intrigued. "Can you tell me more about it?" Helen gave a bitter smile. "The yo

With that thought in mind, Felix gave Chelsea a respectful nod. "I should've known someone as remarkable as you would see through me." His admission seemed to soften Chelsea's icy demeanor just a bit. "At least you're not bullshitting me. I figured you'd deny everything. That would've made me look down on you." Felix's instinct was right. If he had lied, the conversation would have ended right there. "How could you tell?"Chelsea said, "It's obvious. You met a mirror image of yourself on the ninth floor who matched your every move. No matter what you threw at him, he wouldn't fall behind or get ahead." That explained absolutely nothing. How could she possibly figure anything out from that? "To understand why, we need to talk about what these two towers really are." Felix nodded. "I'm listening. And I meant what I said—I'll owe you one. After the competition ends, whatever you ask, I won't back out." He expected more snark from Chelsea, but she surprised him by saying serio

The thought of Gerald lying to Felix vanished as quickly as it came. Felix dismissed it immediately. If nothing else, Gerald would never harm him. If Gerald had really wanted him dead, he could have killed him a thousand times over. Why would he go through all this trouble?Still, he had to believe what Chelsea was saying. He'd fought his double personally and understood the implications. "To strengthen my foundation, do I need to start training from scratch?" Chelsea thought for a moment before answering, "That's one approach. Either relearn a different technique, or if you're extraordinarily gifted, create your own technique that matches your current level." Starting over was not an option. The challenges were overwhelming. First, where would he even find a powerful technique? He was a stranger here—who would help him? As for creating one, Felix didn't think he was that brilliant. It might be possible, but time was precious now. Every day spent trying to develop a techniqu

Two hours later, Felix snapped his eyes open, but there was nothing but bitterness in them. His mind was still completely blank. He couldn't calm down, let alone comprehend any practices or grasp something like the Way of Mind."I'm not going to let this ninth floor trap me forever!" Without hesitation, Felix returned to the Tower of Babel and stepped inside once again."Don't let me down this time," that familiar voice echoed through the space. Just like before, he was still on the ninth floor. The fake Felix was still there, as if he'd never left, quietly waiting for him all this time. Felix didn't waste a second and launched an attack right away. Yet, the result was the same. No matter what he did, it was always evenly matched, blow for blow."You've really let me down," that mechanical voice repeated itself, over and over. The more Felix heard it, the more frustrated he became—until suddenly, something shifted. A few punches later, his anger began to dissolve, and a strang

A month had passed, and Scopulus stood in a hidden location with a dark, furious expression as he glared at Yusri. He growled, "This brilliant idea was yours! The plan's already in motion, and there's no turning back now. So, where the hell is Felix?"Yusri looked just as dumbfounded, puzzled as to what the hell Felix was doing inside the Tower of Babel. Ever since he went back in on the first day for the second time, he had not stepped out once in an entire month. The emerald bed was already prepped and waiting for him, but if Felix refused to show up and use it, everything they set up was basically useless."He can't stay in there forever," Yusri muttered, trying to convince himself.At Felix's current level, two months without food or water would be his absolute limit. Otherwise, his body would collapse.The real question was, what in the world was Felix doing on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel for so long? Even martial artists two full realms above him couldn't survive

Chapter 1608

After an entire month of fighting purely by instinct, Felix still could not quite believe that he had actually pulled it off. Because all he could think about now was getting some rest, he did not even notice the massive commotion his return had caused.Someone exclaimed, "Oh, my God! Is that really Felix?""Yeah, that's him for sure. I can't believe he finally came out!"Another asked, "What the hell happened in there? How can anyone survive inside the Tower of Babel for a whole month? Is he even human?""Don't exaggerate. So what if it was a month? He still never made it past the ninth floor."Everywhere he went, people were voicing their shock, but that was about it. After all, Felix still hadn't stepped onto the tenth floor yet.While Felix was comfortably passed out on the emerald bed, elsewhere in the contestant district stood a dazzling building that none of the participants could ever enter. It was the residence of the three Elders of Star Alliance. At that very moment,

Felix had barely stepped out when he noticed Julius and Xenon already waiting for him. He blurted out, "You two were waiting for me?"They nodded in perfect sync. "Duh! We've been waiting the entire day."Felix was surprised that it had only been a day. He had felt so drained, yet the emerald bed had wiped away all his exhaustion in just one night. That thing really worked wonders.He asked, "And why exactly were you waiting? You guys don't have better things to do?"Julius gave a helpless shrug. "Felix, you stayed on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel for a full month without leaving. Can't we afford a couple of days to satisfy our curiosity?"Xenon didn't bother being polite. "What the hell were you even doing in there? Don't tell me it was nonstop fighting. There's no way you could've lasted that long physically."Felix chuckled. "I ran into a tricky opponent. However much force I used, he matched it exactly. We only wrapped it up yesterday."He didn't feel like getting in

This time, Lachlan didn't say a single word. He walked right past Felix like he didn't exist, as if Felix no longer posed any threat to him at all."Acting all high and mighty," Julius muttered under his breath, scoffing.Xenon let out a sigh. "Well, to be fair, the guy's got the right to be arrogant. At this point, it's almost certain that Chelsea's taking the crown, but second place? That's probably Lachlan. "Even someone like Hendrix, who's a complete maniac, doesn't seem to measure up based on their tower progress."Felix didn't say a word. He knew there was no point arguing about rankings or outcomes. In the end, only actions and results would speak the loudest.When Felix stepped into the Tower of Divinity, a few people immediately noticed, and many of them chuckled mockingly. If he had gone back into the Tower of Babel, people might've assumed he was working on a breakthrough. However, the fact that he went into the Tower of Divinity instead made it look like he was givi
