Chapter 239: Tower of Illusions



Chapter 239: Tower of Illusions

A few days after Liu Yang arrived in the Second World, it was announced the beginning of the Extra Challenge of the Grand Tournament.

The location of the challenge would be in the City of the Alliance, one of the major cities controlled by the Mercantile Alliance, the size of it was like that of a large province.

The place where the challenge would take place would be in the Arena of the Alliance, a place created for this type of thing. The size of the arena was two hundred football stadiums added, a crowd was already sitting in the stands, each one was eager to see this challenge.

Even one day before the tournament, the arena was already crowded with people, the amount was so much that it looked like a human anthill sitting on the stone benches.

The Mercantile Alliance was making the last adjustments before the start of the event, the competitors were already entering the arena and doing the warm-ups.

On top of the common area, was the VIP area, the place had a better view and the best conditions to watch such events, the place had windows to prevent the sound between or escape, members of the influential clans were already inside their halls, each one was just cross-legged and meditating.

...

After several days of non-stop activities with the three women, Liu Yang finally left the room while the women were inside the Dwelling Ring, each of them panting while there was a slight rosy tint in their skins, but on their faces, there was a beautifully contented smile, and their skins were brilliant. Xillia Wolf's daughter looked at her mother and two other women with curious eyes, she did not know what had happened to them.

Liu Yang liked this cute little girl, although he did not see her very often, he always bought some good things for her to eat.

After picking up two teleport array, Liu Yang arrived at the venue of the event. As he arrived the day that the challenge would occur, the people had already entered and the candidates were already inside the arena, so there was no queue to enter.

Liu Yang just presented the event ticket and was able to enter without any problem, this time he did not buy for the VIP seats, but for the common seats since there were no differences between the two types.

Sitting in the seat, Liu Yang just enjoyed the view, it was as if he was watching a live game, rather than being on television. But the scale was much larger.

Despite being far away, there were no problems for Liu Yang to watch the event of the seat, since, with his level, he could use the Divine Sense to see or use only the eyes. The sight of that was high-level was better than the low-level, Liu Yang could see anything within a radius of fifty miles as if in front of him.

When looking at competitors, Liu Yang encountered some people he met during the tide of shadow beasts and in the challenge of Zac's secret realm. When he looked at a certain spot in the arena, he saw a young woman who appeared to be between 24-25 years old, her appearance was beautiful with reddish skin and scales on the neck, there was a small horn on the forehead, the figure was curvilinear with proportions measures.

Looking at her, Liu Yang recognized her immediately, she was Zi Jiao, the woman he had decided to be his fifth wife. After knowing what she had done just to be with him.

He also saw the sisters Mo Qian and Mo Qing, and the couple Li Qing and Huang Ziya, due to the help of Liu Yang, the four managed to get much stronger by ingesting the drops of juice. Their clan and sect companions were jealous of this, they were even called to be members of the main sect, and in the case of Li Qing, a member of the honorary clan of the main clan. The sisters Mo Qing and Mo Qian were invited to join the main sect in the First Worlds.

Liu Yang did not send a message to Zi Jiao, as this could hinder her concentration. According to the news, the events this time would test the heart and the will of a person. As for the Mo sisters, Liu Yang would settle this matter when Xillia Wolf solved her problem.

He knew that these two things could not put numbers, so the system could not calculate this to display on the screen, as it depends on each one. Each person was different, so the heart and the will also would be different.

One of the things that Liu Yang did not do, since he discovered more information about this world, was that he stopped using the Eye of God to see if the person was an NPC or not. He had no desire to see this, and treated everyone equally, being the humans incarnate or the NPCs that existed in this world.

Some hours later

When all the preparations were completed, in the middle of the arena an extremely large tower appeared. It had a total of ten floors and was one thousand feet high.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Mercantile Alliance thanks everyone who came today to watch the extra challenge that will determine who will be the participants that will go to the next phase of the Grand Tournament"

The matriarch appeared and began to talk about the challenge.

"The goal of this challenge is to see how strong the will and heart of the participants are. This tower is called Tower of Illusions, it has the power to create the greatest fears of people, if you can overcome your fear and move to the next floor, it shows that you have overcome your fear on that floor. The next floor will have an even more terrifying fear, this will continue to the tenth floor. If the participant does not withstand the power of the illusion, the person may choose to give up and will be disqualified from the tournament "

"The seeds of the fights will be decided according to the floors that the participants arrive, the bigger the floor, the better the seed and the fewer fights will have to fight"

"Participants will come in groups of ten thousand people at a time, ten thousand people for each group. You all have a limit of one month inside the tower, your ranking will be according to the floor you have managed to reach, those who can not reach at least the third floor will be disqualified at the end of the challenge "

"Let's start!!"

As the entrance space was limited, only a certain amount of people could enter at the same time. There were a total of four entrances to the tower, this represented each of the tournaments.

The groups were separated by the order in which they arrived in the central zone in the second stage. The first ten thousand that arrived in the central zone, will be the ten thousand first to enter the tower and so on.

The crowd was keen to know what the greatest fear of each of these people would be.

By the time the group entered the tower, the images of the interior were projected outside. This was so that viewers could see what was happening inside the tower.

Early on there were already thousands of people falling to the ground and trembling, they were afraid, this caused embarrassment to their companions and relatives. But this only showed that despite their strength, they did not have a strong will or an unshakable heart.

A few hundred people started walking up to the second floor, it showed their will and heart for having managed to get through their first fear.

Five minutes later, the second group entered, the same happened as the first group, thousands of people had already dropped the ground tremendously. Five more minutes later, the third group came in, so it happened again.

Although a large number of participants being disqualified early on, this did not cause any uproar, since everyone knew one thing: This was not about the power of the person, but about the heart and the will, if these two things were not very strong, it would do no good to have great power. For there would be moments that if the person does not have a strong heart or a very great will, it will fail miserably despite the force. One such example is the fifth tribulation.

It took several hours for everyone to enter the tower, Liu Yang was only watching Zi Jiao, she entered the tower along with the group number three hundred.

The fears of the participants were seen by the spectators; on the first-floor, fears were only casual, but there were people who could not overcome this fear.

On the first floor, there were those who were afraid of demonic beasts, of violent women, tall, books, and many other bizarre things. The crowd laughed occasionally with these scenes, while some felt cold in the spine.

To face one's own fear and yet to move forward was something only a few could do. These few would qualify for the next round of the Grand Tournament.
