Global Game: I Can Choose Instance Rewards-Chapter 612 - 405: Climbing the Tower

"What’s happening! Where is this!"

Suddenly, Wu Xun found himself transported from the moonlit street to a brightly lit meadow emitting an earthy aroma. The hundreds of people surrounding him earlier had all vanished, making for an incredibly bizarre situation.

As he pondered whether he had fallen victim to a powerful illusion from Demon Sect, a ethereal voice echoed around him.

"Holy Tower’s ten-level trial... Each level passed... Comes with a reward..."

The voice made it impossible for him to determine whether it belonged to a man or woman, nor its age, and he couldn’t pinpoint its source. However, it answered his inner query.

"Holy Tower trial... Have I been chosen by that tower? Am I in the tower right now?"

For a moment, his Spirit became even more alert, and faint golden light appeared all over his body, a sign of him fully activating the Infinite Golden Body Skill.

As he wondered what the trial of the Holy Tower might entail, a tall and vicious figure materialized on the meadow in front of him, charging at him fiercely on all fours.

"A wolf? Quite big, possibly an Alien Species."

As an elite Martial Artist and the chief disciple of the Wuji Sect, Wu Xun naturally had no reason to fear a wolf, even if it appeared large and was rumored to be an Alien Species. He remained fearless.

As the fierce beast lunged at him with extraordinary speed, his stable stance suddenly shifted, allowing him to agilely evade the wolf’s jaws and sharp claws. Then, he swung his golden light-wrapped right fist, striking the side of the wolf’s head, causing the beast’s skull to deform instantly and its body to be flung in the direction of his force, rolling over ten meters on the grassy ground.

"Awoooo~"

He then heard the final cry from the giant wolf, which quickly dissipated into specks of light under his gaze, leaving behind an object on the ground and a wooden ladder leading to the upper level appearing nearby.

"What is this..."

Curious, Wu Xun immediately walked over and bent down to pick up the item from the ground.

"Handwear?"

He deduced it was probably a pair of gloves since they had the shape of a human palm, but the style was quite different from anything he had seen before, seemingly made from a unique leather.

Even more intriguing, as he focused on the gloves, lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Sensitivity Gloves (Excellent)]

[When you wear these gloves, besides gaining decent hand protection, your agility attribute will increase by two points.]

"Such strange writing..."

He was momentarily puzzled by the text appearing before him, as their phrasing differed greatly from what he had learned since childhood. Though he recognized each character and could generally understand their meaning, they made him feel uneasy.

Nevertheless, he comprehended about half of it, roughly guessing that the text was a description of the item in his hands. This experience was thrillingly novel to him, prompting him to begin wearing it involuntarily.

Naturally, he didn’t lower his guard. As a Body Refining Martial Artist practicing the Infinite Golden Body Skill, he maintained the golden light defense on his hands. If there were any issues with the gloves, they would not harm him.

Within seconds, wearing the Sensitivity Gloves induced a soft exclamation from him:

"My body... has undergone some slight changes? Is it because of these gloves?"

Immediately, he raised his hands to scrutinize the exquisite leather gloves made of unknown materials, filled with astonishment.

This was because, as an elite Martial Artist, his understanding of his body far exceeded that of ordinary people. Even minute changes in his blood and Qi could not escape his perception. Thus, discovering his body had suddenly become slightly more agile amazed him.

In his current cultivation bottleneck, experiencing such progress was exceptionally precious.

Attempting to remove the gloves, he found the sudden improvement in his body vanished instantly, thereby fully confirming this fact.

"Hmph, it’s just an external item after all."

He sneered slightly, with a self-mocking tone in his soliloquy.

Yet his subsequent actions betrayed him completely; he unhesitatingly wore the Sensitivity Gloves again, ceasing the golden light defense on his palms and instead wrapped them around the gloves, seemingly valuing this acquisition.

"Ten-level trial... A reward for each level passed... I think I understand what’s going on."

At this stage, he had essentially gained a basic understanding of the Holy Tower’s mode, and immediately, with alertness and anticipation, he walked towards the wooden ladder leading to the next level.

Moments later, Wu Xun ascended the ladder into a spacious, dimly lit room, where three figures armed with a sickle, pitchfork, and axe were waiting for him.

The three wore tattered burlap clothes resembling villagers from a destitute mountain region, exuding viciousness and appearing more threatening than the giant wolf from the first level.

"Attack together! Kill him!"

When Wu Xun approached within ten feet of the three figures, the one wielding the axe immediately shouted, urging the other two to charge at him.

But Wu Xun felt slightly speechless facing such a scenario since, at a glance, he could tell these three lacked any training, merely wielding farm tools.

This made him instantly halt the golden light defense throughout his body, choosing to rely on his most basic martial prowess and physique to handle them without wasting a bit of power.
