Chapter 1113: Chapter 1113: Carson Flores, Do You Dare Accept the Challenge?

"Is this the Ghost Tower? It looks magnificent. Why is it called the Ghost Tower?"

"The tower is full of ghosts, why wouldn’t it be called Ghost Tower?"

"It is said that the Ghost Tower looks only this big from the outside, but actually, it contains a world of its own inside, and it’s huge..."

"Now that the Ghost Tower has opened, failing the trials only gets you thrown out; in the past, most people who entered would die inside."

"If it were like before, who would dare to enter? Even Hollow Void Practitioners couldn’t overcome it, let alone us. But now, since there’s no risk to our lives, we might as well try our luck."

Carson Flores stood on the hillside, sizing up the infamous Ghost Tower ahead.

The Ghost Tower had nine levels, and it looked no different from the ancient towers in ordinary temples, old and unremarkable.

The first-floor gate of the tower was wide open, blocked by a curtain of light. At that moment, many adventurers were crossing the light curtain and disappearing inside the tower, while others were being thrown out of it, screaming in shock.

Carson observed for a while and saw at least more than ten adventurers being thrown out.

Some of these rejects were unharmed, others were bloodied, and even some missing arms or legs, but mostly they had no fatal wounds.

"Ah!"

A man’s scream rang through the air as he was thrown out, and Carson’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He was thrown from the seventh floor!

The only one!

Did this mean he had passed the sixth trial and then got rejected?

One level, one trial?

After that man tumbled through the air and managed to steady himself, Carson chuckled.

It turned out to be Kash Lam from the Lam Family.

An acquaintance!

Kash didn’t have any injuries, but he looked quite annoyed, his face full of frustration.

"Kash Lam!"

In the sky, Kash heard someone call his name, scowled, and turned his head, his eyes suddenly widened and his face brightened with joy.

"Hey, Car..."

Before Kash could finish, he plummeted down quickly, landing in front of Carson and happily thumped him on the chest.

"You’re here too, eh? Hehe, where’s Violeta Herrera?"

Carson laughed and said, "Why does everyone ask me that when they see me?"

Kash chuckled and replied, "The Demon Race is saying you kidnapped their Saintess and they’re hunting you everywhere. Naturally, people are curious—who else has asked you?"

"Bryant James."

Kash’s expression changed slightly: "That guy is here too?"

Carson nodded, "I ran into him yesterday in Bright Moon City."

Kash pursed his lips: "Then I might stay and watch how he does."

Carson asked, "Tell me, what’s it like in there? Give me some pointers."

Everyone was so familiar; Carson naturally didn’t need to beat around the bush.

Kash responded eagerly, "Actually, there’s not much to say. It’s just about overcoming the trials. The first trial is the Ascension Path, full of illusions. If you can’t control it, you’ll fall and be directly eliminated. Then it’s just more trials, fighting against various strength opponents. Oh, and by the way, there’s one trial, hahaha..."

Carson asked curiously, "Why are you laughing?"

Kash laughed and said, "There’s a trial where you have to cross the Fiery Valley, which for us from the Lam Family is practically a giveaway, isn’t it?"

Carson couldn’t help but grin, "How many trials did you pass, and what were the challengers like?"

Kash explained, "Six trials. The opponents were Cultivators and Demonic Beasts, each stronger than the last. What’s peculiar is these challengers don’t really exist; they’re conjured up, and once you defeat them, they just vanish."

Carson’s eyes widened, "Conjured up?"

"Yes, it’s like they are made of light and shadows, yet they possess very real and formidable strength..."

Carson was amazed; a fighting energy body constructed by the Ghost Tower?

Upon reflection, wasn’t this similar to the Primordial Spirit Projections by top-tier practitioners?

Carson understood at once.

"You seem to have reached the highest level, right?"

Kash nodded, "Seems like it, but it’s meaningless; I didn’t make it through. No matter how many levels, it’s all the same."

Carson curiously asked, "Aren’t there any Hollow Void Practitioners who have tried?"

"Yes!"

Kash replied, "I don’t know what kind of mechanism the Ghost Tower uses, but those Hollow Void Practitioners often can only get through three or four levels before being rejected. It’s said that the enemies they encounter are extremely powerful, probably because opponents differ depending on the challenger’s strength."

Carson smiled, "Well, let’s give it a try and see."

Kash encouraged him, "Your realm might not be strong enough, but with such a strong ability to fight above your level, if you consider the realm, then you have an advantage in overcoming the trials. Plus, you’ve been recognized by the Emperor Seal as the Human Emperor; maybe you’ll win the recognition of the Ghost Tower too."

Carson smiled, "I take your auspicious words."

Kash was about to speak when he suddenly turned around: "Bryant James is here."

Carson turned his head and saw Bryant James walking straight toward him through the crowd.

"Carson Flores, do you dare to accept a challenge?"

Carson responded calmly, "What challenge?"

Bryant James said coldly, "Let’s enter the tower together and see who can go further."

Carson smiled lightly, "Why not? I accept your challenge, but don’t cry if you lose."
