The Sky Tower Ruler
Episode 17's

Slowly Gu Lang's gaze faded, until everything turned dark.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was surprised by where he was.

He was like he was in a place of emptiness, there was only a monstrous huge vortex that seemed to want to swallow his soul.

The picture seemed to describe the conditions, before this world was formed.

Even Gu Lang had been frightened just by looking at that monstrous huge vortex.

"Step into the vortex of emptiness. Forge your soul and body simultaneously, if you succeed then you pass."

Hearing the hint, Gu Lang ventured to walk over.

But it felt very heavy, and it was at this moment that Gu Lang knew what fear was, a fear he had never even felt now reaching him.

The vortex began to suck out his soul, bringing it into a bottomless pit that instantly tore through his soul slowly.

Even Gu Lang's excruciating pain, the endless pain just continued to tear his body and make Gu Lang even more tormented.

The dragon that was still burning by the flames, and the soul that was being torn mercilessly made Gu Lang feel that he was in the hell of the most terrible torture.

Gu Lang felt like he was no longer strong, feeling such excruciating pain.

But instantly the shadows on Xiao San and Bao Feng's faces flashed through his mind. Imagine good people suffering because of it.

But he can't give up. He had to complete all of these exams, and obtain the medicine to maintain Xiao San's last life breath.

Gu Lang's determination was back up.

"Ayo lakukan lagi! Rasa sakit ini tak ada apa-apanya jika dibandingkan dengan nyawa sahabatku!"

After calling out for that, the vortex grew increasingly and continued to tear Gu Lang's soul mercilessly.

After a long period of torment within that vortex, Gu Lang's soul finally returned and strangely he felt his soul become stronger than before.

"Is this some kind of soul forging spell?"

Gu Lang stared towards the vortex that had tortured him earlier.

However, regardless of what kind of pain it might be, if it could get him a pill to sustain Xiao San's life.

Then he'll do it, no matter what the risk.

Finally, the second test was completed. And just like before, Gu Lang also got the reward for having already passed the second test.

A book inscribed with a body soul-forging technique, just like what Gu Lang had anticipated earlier.

Third floor.

On this third floor, there was only a large wooden puppet in the middle of the altar. And Gu Lang seemed to understand that if the test this time, he had to beat the wooden puppet.

And sure enough, just after the voice sounded, "Power determines everything. The strong eat the weak, the weak can only surrender."

The puppet came alive and started attacking Gu Lang.

His attacks were very fast and precise, not blindly but his attacks just like well organized.

"Blow of the Nine Suns!"

A huge explosion occurred as Gu Lang punched the wooden puppet, the smoke billowing making Gu Lang unable to see how the puppet was in condition.

It was precisely Gu Lang who was shocked when he saw the puppet's hand cross in front of his chest, he repelled Gu Lang's attack.

It was as if the puppet had a mind and could read Gu Lang's movements.

"Damn, it has absolutely no effect! Does this doll have the perception of a soul like a human?"

Gu Lang thought hard, if the condition continues like that then it can be ascertained if he will lose.

Because humans need energy to attack and defend, whereas puppets do not.

As long as his body could still move, then as long as he could still continue attacking Gu Lang.

Attack after attack kept coming from the wooden puppet, making Gu Lang only able to continue dodging and dodging.

At the same time, Gu Lang also had to figure out where the living wooden puppet's weak point was.

But Gu Lang did not find the weakness, until finally Gu Lang tried to use his sword.

"The sword took one life away, the Sword of Death!"

Gu Lang darted quickly towards the puppet, but how surprised Gu Lang the puppet was to hold his arm. He was right in front of the doll.

He was at a loss as to how the puppet could have a speed surpassing his, which had even used death and cloud steps.

"Damn, he seemed to be able to read the future. The reaction speed was also extremely terrifying."

The puppet swung its hand and punched Gu Lang in the stomach, until it was thrown and hit the barrier wall.

But strangely Gu Lang did not feel any pain at all, his body actually felt something refreshing sensation even though there was a little blood that he vomited.

"What the fuck? Why do I feel like my body is filled with strength, when it gets that punch?"

Gu Lang seemed to get an answer from his question. All of that must have been due to the body soul forging spell, which he had just obtained.

Gu Lang smiled and wanted to confirm his conjecture.

He deliberately allowed himself to become a lively samsak, who continuously received punch after punch from the puppet.

And just as he expected his body was like growing and continuing to grow stronger along with the attacks from the puppet.

"It's fun, come on again!" yells.

Until the punch that somehow no longer Gu Lang felt the effect, even though Gu Lang did not feel the pain in his body but he still suffered internal injuries. Only his body grew stronger.

"Blow of the Nine Suns!"

Not only once, Gu Lang sent out a continuous punch that made the puppet unable to wince.

Even Gu Lang's punching power also increased a lot, until finally the puppet was smashed into pieces.

Gu Lang was limp, but the smile on his lips did not disappear.

"Congratulations, you've completed the third exam. Take your gift and you can move on to the next floor."

This time the reward was a regeneration pill, something that Gu Lang did need right now to restore his energy and treat his inner lula.

After taking the pill, Gu Lang continued his steps up the stairs towards the fourth floor.

"What other tests are waiting for me?" Gu Lang thought as he continued to step his feet up the stairs after the stairs.

The first one tests the way he thinks to find a way out of the problem. Then the second is to test his soul, and the third is a test for his body.

Then after this, what other tests were waiting for him on the fourth floor.
