The Ruler of Light

Chapter 9 Dragon Pagoda III

" Here you must kill one general-level animal up to the king-level. You must not kill animals below the general level. If you kill an animal below the king's level, you will be expelled and considered a failure." Say a voice.

" And one more thing, you can only attack animals you find once." Continue that voice.

Those who managed to ascend to the fifth level immediately explored the endless forest to immediately complete their mission and ascend to the sixth level. But ever since they explored the endless forest, they had not come across a single animal.

" Why didn't a single animal show up." Ask one of the young men.

" I don't know either." Answer a girl.

" It is appropriate that the task given is only an animal." Another grouse

Meanwhile, outside the dragon pagoda...

" Sister, are you sure they can make it?" Ask Guang Han.

" Of course, I'm sure, Shen'er and the others will succeed." Answer Guang Dan.

" But brother, at level six, they must survive in the midst of the onslaught of tornadoes, level seven they must reach the highest mountain within five days, and at level eight they must kill at least five celestial lions to get to level nine." Guang Han.

" I'm sure they can get through all the challenges. And they will surely reach the cloud.

In the city of lanterns, a man in disguise kept questioning the townspeople about the existence of the Guang clan, but no one told him. The residents did not tell the man because they did not know where the Guang clan was even though the Guang clan was in Lantern city.

" Why doesn't a single resident know the existence of the Guang clan?" Ask the Man.

" If you don't tell me where the Guang clan is, then I will destroy this city right now." Threaten the man.

" While we know where the Guang clan is, we won't tell you where it is." Said one of the residents.

" Are you willing to die just to keep the Guang clan secret from me?" Ask the man again.

" Yes, because the Guang clan is very good to us because they are the protectors of the lantern city. We promised not to tell you where the Guang clan is." Speak of the townspeople.

" Well then, don't regret your decision." Said the man.

The man who was none other than the patriarch Gun Ju flew up into the sky of the city and began to form a gigantic energy ball.

" He.ha.ha. Guang Clan come out, if you don't show yourself, then this city I will destroy." Shouted Gun Ju.

" Well if you don't show up too, then the lantern town you're protecting will be destroyed." The man then threw the energy ball into the middle of the city.

Wussss

As the energy ball was about to hit the ground, a black hole absorbed the energy ball.

" If you may know, why are you looking for the existence of the Guang clan?" Ask a voice.

" You're finally out, old man." Gun Ju said.

" If you're looking for the whereabouts of my two grandchildren in this city, then you won't be able to find them. Even if you enter the Guang clan once" said the man.

Ok, back inside the dragon pagoda..

They continued to explore the endless forest for three days, but never found an animal.

" Why isn't there a single animal in this forest?" Ask Guang Jiang.

" I don't know brother" replied Guang Zang.

Guang Shen and Guang Fang were stalking two tigers drinking in a well.

" We've finally found animals too." Guang Fang.

" It's a 1-star king level animal. Let's attack." Guang Shen.

Wuss

Sleeppp

Quickly, the two of them threw two spears towards the two tigers.

The two animals instantly collapsed and died instantly. The two soul crystals were absorbed by the jade tokens belonging to Guang Shen and Guang Fang.

Wussss

They then disappeared towards the sixth level after successfully completing the challenge at the fifth level.

After a long time, one by one the young man and the girl of the Guang clan managed to kill an animal. But more and more are failing. Now all that was left inside the dragon pagoda were 30 people. Those who failed on the fifth floor were then given pills made from the ingredients they had obtained before to increase their strength.

Wuss

Wuss

Wusses

They were all teleported to a place with tornadoes everywhere.

" Here, you must survive, and reach the part where there are no tornadoes within three days." Say a voice.

" Time to start now" continued the voice.

Wuss

Wuss

Not wanting to delay any more time, they all then darted towards the middle of the tornado field.

Swiinnng

But getting through every tornado is not easy. They must avoid every tornado, otherwise they will be brought flying back to where they first appeared. And it's very time-consuming.

Wuss

They continued to fly through the numerous tornadoes. Occasionally they also have to withstand the blowing of the tornado wind.

" Keep holding. We'll be there soon." Guang Shen's words encouraged his brothers

" That's right. If we're swept by a tornado then we'll go back to the beginning again." Say the other

" That's right, we've been for two days. If we go back to the beginning again, then we will fail." Saying the other.

Just as the sun was about to set on the third day, they all reached the middle of the tornado field.

" End up at last." Say something else.

Wussss

A high-level herb, hovering before them. They then absorbed the herb into their jade tokens, and began to rest their tired bodies. Besides being tired, their energy was also drained away, as they had to fly at full speed.

Right at sunrise, they were all sent to the seventh level where there were only mountains.

Wuss

Wusses

They all appeared on a mountain, and from where they stood, they saw a towering mountain piercing through the sky.

" Did you see that mountain so high?" Ask that voice.

" Yes, we saw it." Answer them.

" You must climb the mountain to the top. There is no time limit. The twenty people who made it to the top the first time, then they would be taken to the next level. And the rest will be taken out of the pagoda." Say that voice.
