Tower Duel Begins, Numerous Missions

At this moment, there were already quite a few people in the Symbol Master Plaza. On a battle stage in the center stood a man in white robes. He looked down with disdain and laughed wildly,

"Flame City's Symbol Master Association is indeed mediocre. It seems this Symbol Master Tower is ours for the taking, Sky Fire City's."

Lin Xia pointed at the person on the stage, "That's him. This guy is called Cao Zhu, a Two Seal Symbol Master."

"Oh, is that so..."

Lin Yun glanced at him, then tried to establish a mission in his mind.

"Can't even establish one, trash!" Lin Yun cursed inwardly. He had originally planned to come here and leech a few missions, but he didn't expect his strength to be too weak.

It seemed that bullying a Two Seal Symbol Master was no longer enough to catch the system's eye.

"Little Brother Lin Dong, you go. Those three swords of his are quite good. They can be paired with your Three Talents Sword Formation."

Lin Yun looked at the three small swords suspended in front of Cao Zhu on the stage and said to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong and Zi Yue also looked over. The three sharp short swords were entirely white, their blades covered in sharp serrations, and streams of Cold Qi permeated from them.

"They are forged from Ice Profound Iron. This material is quite rare and usually grows in extremely cold lands. It naturally carries an astonishing Cold Qi, which can even injure Mental Energy," Zi Yue recognized them at a glance and was slightly surprised.

"With these three swords, an ordinary Two Seal Symbol Master is basically no match for him."

"Then leave it to me!"

Lin Dong's eyes lit up, and he agreed. He leaped onto the stage.

"Please enlighten me!"

Lin Dong cupped his hands and stared eagerly at the opponent's Ice Profound Swords.

"Heh heh, another one looking for a beating. This time, try to last a bit longer. Don't give up so quickly."

Cao Zhu smiled proudly, and his Mental Energy surged out. The three Ice Profound Swords in front of him instantly transformed into three streaks of cold light and shot over.

Lin Dong's brows furrowed. The two Ancient Swirl Symbol Seals in the center of his brows flew out, transforming into two symbol seal whirlpools, directly attacking the three incoming streaks of cold light.

Soon, the three Ice Profound Swords were sucked into the whirlpools of Lin Dong's Natal Spiritual Symbols. The whirlpools spun, absorbing the Mental Energy from the Ice Profound Swords.

Cao Zhu's face instantly changed drastically, and he wanted to recall the Ice Profound Swords.

However, how could Lin Dong give him a chance? With a thought, his powerful Mental Energy condensed into ten Transformation God Needles in front of him. With a flash, they appeared around Cao Zhu. The sharp needle tips flickered with a faint cold light.

"Stop! I... I surrender!"

Surrounded by the ten needles, Cao Zhu's body instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'll take these three swords. You damaged my senior sister's sword just now, so consider this compensation." Lin Dong chuckled and put the three Ice Profound Swords into his Cosmos Sack.

Cao Zhu panicked, "You, give them back..."

"Hmm?" Lin Dong frowned, and the ten Transformation God Needles surrounding Cao Zhu moved a step closer.

Cao Zhu instantly dared not speak again.

"Hmph!"

Lin Dong snorted coldly and stepped off the battle stage.

"Good!"

The Symbol Masters of Flame City cheered loudly.

On the other side, the Symbol Masters of Sky Fire City were all silent. Among those who came to cause trouble today, Cao Zhu was the strongest. Now, not only was Cao Zhu defeated, but his beloved Ice Profound Swords were also taken.

They could only leave dejectedly.

"This Cao Zhu is called Third Senior Brother. There should be two stronger ones above him. Sky Fire City's strength is not weak. It's a good thing I have you two."

Lin Xia patted her two younger brothers on the shoulders and said proudly.

She had been cultivating in the Symbol Master Association and had integrated into it, so she didn't want Flame City to lose.

"These three swords are really good."

Lin Dong took out the Ice Profound Swords, his face full of joy.

Lin Xia and Zi Yue looked on with a bit of envy.

Lin Yun was also moved, so he immediately hooked Zi Yue's hand and said,

"Let's go, Senior Sister. The Tower Duel is in two days. I'll teach you the Three Talents Sword Formation first."

"Ah~ Go, go, go!"

Zi Yue was touched on the hand and was a little slow to react.

She immediately followed behind Lin Yun.

Seeing that Lin Dong had obtained treasured swords, Lin Yun was also tempted. The reward for capturing Zi Yue's Heart was the Seven Absolute Flying Swords, so he wanted to take down Zi Yue quickly.

For the next two days, Lin Yun was with Zi Yue, practicing during the day and lecturing at night.

In three days, Lin Yun successfully taught her the entire Three Talents Sword Formation.

Zi Yue was extremely grateful for this. She, who was usually cold, looked at Lin Yun with eyes full of tenderness.

However, Lin Yun still hadn't received a prompt from the system.

Zi Yue's heart still hadn't been captured.

Just a little more! The Tower Duel began today.

Early on, many Rune Masters from Sky Fire City and Flame City gathered in front of the Symbol Master Association tower.

When Cao Zhu saw Lin Dong, he immediately pointed at him and whispered a few words to a man in a silver robe beside him.

"That's Cao Zhu's second senior brother, Liu Long. His strength is quite a bit greater than Cao Zhu's."

Seeing this, Zi Yue immediately introduced them.

At this moment, Liu Long walked over with Cao Zhu, smiling apologetically, "Brother Lin Dong, Cao Zhu was reckless the other day. I hope Brother Lin Dong doesn't mind."

"I don't mind. Your junior brother is honest. He even gave me a precious sword after losing. He's a talented person," Lin Dong replied with a smile.

"You, I didn't give it, it was him..." Cao Zhu's face turned ashen. He wanted to continue speaking, but Liu Long stopped him.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Dong, this Ice Profound Sword is my junior brother's beloved item. Could you, for my sake, return it to him?" Liu Long maintained his smile, seemingly thinking he was very powerful and that Lin Dong would definitely not dare to offend him.

Lin Yun glanced at Liu Long and felt that this guy should be able to catch the system's eye.

"System, create a task: Defeat Liu Long in the Symbol Master Association tower."

...

However, a few seconds passed, and the system didn't respond! "Trash!"

Lin Yun couldn't help but complain.

"What did you say?"

Liu Long looked at Lin Yun with a face full of anger.

"I said you're trash. Give you face? Where do you get such a big face? Get lost," Lin Yun scoffed disdainfully.

He was already disappointed, and the other party was still walking into the muzzle.

"You... very well. I hope you can still be this arrogant after entering the Symbol Master Association tower." Liu Long looked at Lin Yun angrily.

After speaking, he took Cao Zhu and walked away.

Lin Yun didn't even bother to look at someone the system didn't care for.

People like Liu Long were self-righteous. His junior brother actively caused trouble, bullied others, and damaged someone else's sword, yet when someone took his sword, it was unacceptable. How could there be such double standards?

This was in Flame City, and the Rune Masters from Sky Fire City were too arrogant.

He even wanted to enter the Symbol Master Association tower to get revenge on him?

Lin Yun directly treated him as a treasure-delivering boy.

After a while longer, Yan Xuan and the other higher-ups of the Symbol Master Association finally arrived.

The president of the Symbol Master Association in Sky Fire City was named Han Yun, also a Four Seal Symbol Master.

"Watch carefully, the one behind Han Yun is Zhou Tong."

Zi Yue whispered in their ears.

Lin Yun looked over. The other party was wearing a simple black Rune Master robe, had an ordinary appearance, thick eyebrows, and didn't look outstanding. His aura was restrained, making it impossible to discern his depth.

But the Rune Masters from Sky Fire City treated him with respect, making way for him. Even the arrogant Liu Long obediently stood behind him.

"Everyone, the rules of the Tower Duel are clear, right? Whoever can reach the highest level and last the longest will be the final winner."

At this moment, Yan Xuan, as the host, stepped forward and said, "I advise everyone, if you cannot persevere, it is best to act within your capabilities and not seek beyond your reach."

"Now, open the Symbol Master Association tower!"

After Yan Xuan finished speaking, he walked towards the Symbol Master Association tower, and the three Rune Masters behind him followed.

Immediately, powerful Mental Energy fluctuations surged out from their four bodies like a tide. Their bodies actually gradually lifted off the ground, finally stopping at a height of about ten feet.

Following that, their four powerful Mental Energy surged towards the tightly shut stone door of the Symbol Master Association tower, finally condensing into a light seal that was imprinted into a groove on the stone door.

"Buzz..."

As the groove fit, the entire Symbol Master Association tower trembled at this moment. The tightly shut stone door also slowly cracked open, and instantly, an extremely powerful Mental Energy fluctuation spread out from behind the stone door.

Some Rune Masters with weaker cultivation were directly shaken back in a sorry state.

Lin Yun and the others also swayed.

They looked at the Symbol Master Association tower with some surprise. The door had just opened, and there was already such a strong Mental Energy pressure.

Everyone looked at the Symbol Master Association tower with fervent eyes. For Rune Masters, this was a precious cultivation place. Cultivating here for one day could even surpass a month outside.

As the main door completely opened, Yan Xuan announced loudly, "The Tower Duel begins!"

Hearing Yan Xuan's words, the Rune Masters participating in the Tower Duel showed excitement. Many people directly rushed towards the Symbol Master Association tower door.

Lin Yun was not in a hurry. Instead, the corner of his mouth slightly curved upwards, and he began to create tasks. [Task: Surpass Zhou Tong in the Tower Duel. Reward: A bottle of Seventh Grade Gathering Spirit Pill.]

[Task: Reach the seventh floor of the Symbol Master Association tower. Reward: A bag of Seventh Grade Soul Nourishing Pill.]

[Task: Reach the eighth floor of the Symbol Master Association tower. Reward: Intermediate Array Formation Talent.]

[Task: Reach the ninth floor of the Symbol Master Association tower. Reward: Intermediate Sword Technique Talent.]

[Task: Achieve first place in the Tower Duel. Reward: Mental Energy +2, Comprehension +2, Luck +2.]
