Won't Back Down, I Want to Enter the Tower

The refugees fought to be the first, wishing to death that they could test and successfully find that they had abilities.

A piece of white appeared on the wristband's screen for the first person to put it on, displaying a bunch of low-value physique data.

The second got a white screen and low values.

The third got a blue screen and single-digit values.

...

Everyone else's screens were white.

This result didn't affect the cheers of the crowd. They had followed Li Cheng here, and they were bound to him. As long as Li Cheng could enter the tower, they would be taken care of.

The man in black didn't seem surprised at all at the results.

"What talent did you awaken?" He asked Li Cheng.

Li Cheng was very tall, and he seemed somewhat embarrassed to be surrounded by people.

"I awakened Brutal Force, which means my strength has increased," As he spoke, he punched the tree next to him, and the feeble tree shook a few times.

As he retracted his hand, an extremely deep hole appeared on the tree trunk!

Strength-type awakeners seemed to be very common.

Liu Yan looked and found that the other party was indeed not as strong as Wang Gang.

It seemed those with abilities were not willing to come to the Tower. Was it just because they were better off in the sanctuaries?

"You guys don't have any talents, you can leave now," The man in black suddenly said, "The one who got a blue screen on the wristband is someone with grade E talent. You can stay."

Asking them to leave was the same as giving them a death sentence.

They had followed Li Cheng, an expert with a grade E talent, and had run helter-skelter from a hundred meters away to this place. In the process, many had already died.

Asking them to look for another sanctuary now was no different from asking them to die.

"We came with Big Brother Cheng!"

"That's right," Li Cheng also quickly said, "Can they enter the Federation Academy as my family?"

The man in black looked at Li Cheng and said, "You can indeed enjoy the treatment of bringing your family with you, but all talents who enter the Tower Academy must enter the Towers to find resources for humans. You are the hope of mankind, and mankind needs you."

"W-what?!" Li Cheng was shocked. Why had he never heard of this rule?

Enter the Towers? After such a long time, how many had come out of the Towers alive? What was the difference between that and sending him to his death?

Li Cheng's face turned green as he retreated.

"Big Brother Cheng! You can't back down at this time, we're all counting on you!"

This made Li Cheng explode with anger, "I'm not going! If you want to go, you guys go!"

The price he had to pay for them to stay at the Academy was to be sent into the Towers!

For survival, these people couldn't care less about their dignity!

They wouldn't let go of Li Cheng. They were already at the door, so how could they just go back like this?

"Let me in," Liu Yan said as he squeezed through the crowd.

It was only then that they realized that the one who spoke was not one of the commoners who was making a ruckus, but a child in his teens!

He walked up to the Man in Black and said impatiently, "

"Let me in! I have a talent! I'm willing to enter the Tower, as long as you can save my sister!"

Seeing that Liu Yan was covered in blood, the man in black handed him some medicine out of humanitarian consideration.

"Even if you want to die, you need to have the ability. Do you have a talent?"

"Yes."

Indeed, there were many young children in the Tower Federation Academy who had awakened their talents. He wouldn't judge whether they were lying by their age.

However, the refugees couldn't care less about him, and they made a bigger fuss.

"Brother Cheng, if you agree to ascend the Tower, we can all stay in the Academy. You have to help us!"

"I'm sorry, only immediate family members can enjoy this treatment," the man in black said, "There's another sanctuary two kilometers away from here. The person in charge is probably someone called Wang Gang. You can go there."

"What?! What is the meaning of this?"

The refugees made even more noise and surrounded the man in black.

"Who knows how long those sanctuaries can last?! We don't want to die!"

"Enough! Pull them away!"

Liu Yan didn't say anything and put on his wristband silently.

Instantly, the wristband began to glow like before, turning white...

He was also a little nervous, and he looked at Liu Qingxue subconsciously.

Then, his wristband began to change colors, from green, blue, orange, purple, red, and then black!

He paused for a moment.

"Big brother, the color of my wristband changed," Liu Yan shouted.

However, his voice was quickly drowned out by the crowd.

The wristband displayed the same statistics as the ones he saw in his mind.

Immediately after, the wristband began to change color again. It turned white, then green, then... Changing colors one by one, like a disco light!

If green represented grade E talent, then black should be grade A.

But he had a grade SSS talent!

With a "pa", his wristband exploded, leaving only a faint tinge of blue.

The sound of the explosion made the man in black push the crowd away.

"You did this?" he stared at Liu Yan.

"How is this possible? To think this child has a grade-E talent!"

"Don't you see that the wristband exploded? Maybe this thing is broken! It can't decide our fate!"

Liu Yan raised the wristband on his hand, "It exploded, but I have a talent. Please let me in."

"Really? Even such a young child has a grade-E talent!" Someone said.

The wristbands were specially made, and even experts couldn't easily destroy them.

"Are you sure you want to enter the Tower?"

One sentence made all the refugees shut their mouths.

Those with talents would have to enter the Tower upon joining the Academy.

No one would joke about this.

"Yes," Liu Yan said firmly.

"You can go in, but the body you brought can only be buried outside."

"This is my sister. She's still alive!" He said.

Liu Yan glared, and the blood all over his body made him look a little terrifying.

The man in black didn't need to look closely to know that the girl with white powder all over her was dead.

"Don't be trapped in your fantasy. Get in before I change my mind."

"I brought my sister here so that she can get treatment. She's been poisoned by the scaled-winged poisonous powder. You must have a way to detoxify her!"

Hearing that, the man in black was so scared that he backed away!

Recently, a huge scaled-winged poison moth had indeed appeared in the city, and even the Academy wished never to cross paths with it.

Unless an expert with a grade-A talent dealt with it, it would pollute the air of the entire city and bring death to the city. One would die without a doubt once one came into contact with the moth's poisonous powder.

To think Liu Yan was carrying such a dangerous thing around. The man in black's impression of him improved.

"We can't touch this poison, let alone cure it. But maybe you can find a way to save her in the Tower."

Liu Yan looked in the direction the Man in Black was pointing at. In proximity, the Tower was so huge that incurred megalophobia in people.

It was so high that its top could not be seen and so big that its edges could not be seen. He wondered what kind of world was inside.

Liu Yan still remembered that when he touched Liu Qingxue and used his extracting talent, the talent only said that his level was not high enough, but it did not say that he could not do it! If he could level up successfully, he would definitely be able to extract the poison from her body.

He could not help but gulp.

Liu Yan placed Liu Qingxue on the stretcher and held her hand tightly, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to save you!"

After settling Liu Qingxue down, he followed the man in black into the core area of the Academy. That was where the entrance to the Tower was.

Standing next to Liu Yan was Li Cheng, who had been hesitating just a moment ago.

He thought about it and felt that it was meaningless to stay in sanctuaries with a bunch of trash outside. He might as well fight for a life in the Tower.

Maybe those who went in didn't come out because they were living a good life inside.

"This is the standard set of equipment that will be given to everyone before they enter the Tower, provided by the Federation Academy. Unfortunately, our equipment is limited and we can only provide you with grade F equipment. In the future, you will be able to obtain even better things in the Tower. The smart wristband is also yours. Other than verifying your talent, its biggest function is to show the level of your enemies and equipment."

Liu Yan put on his wristband.

He took the set of equipment, and the wristband immediately showed their stats.

[Federation Defense Equipment]

[Grade: F]

[Effect: Defense +10]

Immediately, Liu Yan's mind notified him that he could use Divine Extraction.

Liu Yan was secretly surprised.

"Good luck," The man in black sent the two of them to the entrance.

At the side, Li Cheng was speechless. They had just arrived at the Academy alive, and had not even had a full meal before they were sent to the Tower!

Liu Yan didn't have time to think about it and quickly used Divine Extraction.

A faint white light flashed in his hand. The equipment still looked the same, but it was brighter and gave off a completely different feeling.

[Divine Extraction of impurities has been successful. Congratulations, your defensive equipment has been successfully upgraded to grade E!]
