Multiverse Skill System

Page 484

"Once we officially enroll, we won't have to listen to Ba Tianhun's nagging every day anymore!"

Thinking this, a long-lost smile appeared on Yi Shuihan's face, which had been gloomy for a month.

Having already made up his mind to avoid the trouble caused by Ba Tianhun, Yi Shuihan completely ignored Ba Tianhun, who was still trying to persuade him to join him in this "great cause."

Upon arriving at the Multiverse United University, Yi Shuihan was surprised to find that there were so many True Saints. In just a short time, he had seen more than three digits of True Saints, which greatly exceeded his expectations and made him even more excited.

The fact that so many True Saints have come here means that there is something here that is attractive enough to them. What True Saints desire most is to become the Chaos Emperor, which means that there is an opportunity here for True Saints to achieve the status of Chaos Emperor.

"In that case, it really wasn't a mistake to come."

Upon arrival, the company headquarters staff split into two groups. One group, like Yi Shuihan, enrolled directly, while the other group took an entrance exam. Even if they failed, they wouldn't be sent back and would still have a chance to stay, just not as students.

......

"Why are you here?"

Looking expressionlessly at Ba Tianhun in front of him, Yi Shuihan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He thought he could get rid of Ba Tianhun, but he didn't expect to be entangled with him so quickly.

"Because we're roommates!"

Ba Tianhun said matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing this, Yi Shuihan put one hand to his forehead. He truly hadn't expected this situation. Such a prestigious place as the Multiverse United University actually implemented a dormitory system where multiple people lived together. Of course, this didn't refer to the same room, but rather a courtyard, with each room being individual.

"We could have just given this place a whole planet to live on! Why do we have to use such an ancient way to allocate places to live? Oh well, I'll go see where I can go into seclusion. As long as I don't come here, I won't see Ba ​​Tianhun."

Thus, Yi Shuihan's rest plan was ruined.

After spending a few days exploring the Multiverse United University, Yi Shuihan gained a preliminary understanding of its situation. He was surprised, yet somewhat taken for granted.

“Every so often, a Chaos Emperor will come to give a lecture, but you need a certain threshold to listen to the lecture.”

"We regularly organize expeditions to secret locations; half of the spoils go to the school, and the other half belongs to the individual."

"Three famous lists: the individual combat power list, the team list, and the Heavenly Power List."

"The Enlightenment Pavilion, which greatly aids True Saints in comprehending the Dao; the Chaos Heaven, which accelerates the condensation of the Chaos Body; and virtual battlefields that can simulate various battles..."

The more Yi Shuihan learned, the more he admired the United University of the Myriad Realms. As expected of a university jointly run by so many forces from all the worlds, its strength was unfathomable and countless. Staying here offered too many opportunities, and as long as he didn't die, achieving the peak of True Saint wouldn't be difficult.

"The next secret realm adventure won't be for another year, so let's go check out the Enlightenment Pavilion first!"

Having made his decision, Yi Shuihan headed straight for the Martial Arts Pavilion.

To become a Chaos Emperor, in addition to condensing the Chaos Body, another requirement is to reach a certain standard in understanding the Dao.

In the myriad realms, the comprehension of the Dao is generally divided into nine levels. There is a special test method: passing through the Tower of Babel. The level of comprehension one can pass determines the level of understanding one possesses.

Generally speaking, to become a True Saint, one must pass through the three levels of the Tower of Babel. To become a Chaos Emperor, one needs to pass through the seventh level. If one can pass through all nine levels, it means that one has the potential to become a Great Dao Emperor.

The Tower of Babel is a very strange place. Anyone can enter it as long as they know the right method. They can enter from anywhere, and no matter when they enter or leave, only one breath has passed.

Chapter 1239, Breaking Through the Tower

"There are quite a lot of people coming to the Enlightenment Pavilion!"

Standing in front of the Enlightenment Pavilion, Yi Shuihan looked at the crowds coming and going. At least in appearance, most of them looked like humans. From this, one could see how much influence that human being had on all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"I've never seen you before! Are you new here? But shouldn't the entrance exams still be going on at this time? Are you some kind of genius who got in without taking the test?"

The speaker was a staff member of the attic, a young man with purplish-red skin, who was also a True Saint. However, Yi Shuihan did not sense any threat from him, which meant that the man in front of him was not strong among True Saints and was probably just an ordinary True Saint.

"Yes, I am indeed a freshman. May I ask what I need to do to enter the Enlightenment Pavilion?"

Yi Shuihan's answer made the purplish-red-skinned young man's eyes light up, and he immediately became very enthusiastic.

"It's very simple. You should have an ID card issued by the school, right? There are quite a few rooms in the Enlightenment Pavilion. If there's no indication that a room is currently occupied, you can just swipe your ID card at the door to enter. However, there's a yearly limit here. Of course, you can also calculate it by month, but that would be 0.1 limit points per month. Generally speaking, calculating by year is more cost-effective. Different rooms offer different paths to enlightenment..."

Without Yi Shuihan asking any questions, the staff member very kindly explained most of the things Yi Shuihan needed to know.

It's clear that this staff member doesn't treat everyone the same. The reason they're so nice to Yi Shuihan is largely due to Yi Shuihan's admission without examination. Yi Shuihan is well aware of this and hasn't rejected the staff member's overtures.

He accepted the sugar coating, and naturally took the cannonballs. Of course, if Yi Shuihan had the opportunity to meet them again in the future, he might repay them depending on the circumstances.

"It's like the Tao has been completely revealed before us; it's truly amazing."

Yi Shuihan sat cross-legged in the room, and the Dao of Thunder materialized around him. Just by observing it, one could gain a lot of insights. Under such circumstances, one could not help but be quick to comprehend the Dao.

Yi Shuihan is skilled in the Dao of Thunder and the Dao of Time. However, the Dao of Thunder is obviously easier for Yi Shuihan to comprehend than the Dao of Time. Therefore, Yi Shuihan's first choice is to comprehend the Dao of Thunder.

What is the Dao? Specifically, it refers to conceptual things like laws and rules. The deeper one's understanding of the Dao, the stronger one can draw upon its corresponding power.

After spending half a year in the Enlightenment Pavilion, Yi Shuihan's understanding of the Dao of Lightning was not as rapid as it had been at the beginning. Therefore, he went to another room to comprehend the Dao of Time.

It took two years for the speed to slow down, and it cost Yi Shuihan a total of 2.6 boundary points before he left the Enlightenment Pavilion.

"I wonder how many levels of the Tower of Babel I can clear now."

With this idea in mind, Yi Shuihan went to the Tongtian Pavilion, a place specifically for students from the school to attempt the Tower of Heaven. Only here could they attempt the Tower of Heaven.

Although anyone can challenge the tower at any location by obtaining certain methods, these methods are not something everyone can master. To truly gain the right to challenge the tower at any time, one needs the assistance of certain external objects, and these external objects exist in the Tongtian Pavilion.

At school, only those who successfully clear 5 floors or more of the tower will be given that item, which allows them to clear the tower at any time. Otherwise, they can only obediently come to the Tongtian Pavilion to clear the tower.

Since Yi Shuihan had never even ventured into the Tower of Babel, he naturally had to come to the Tower of Babel first.

There are far fewer people at Tongtian Pavilion than at Wudao Pavilion. After all, people come here to test their understanding of the Dao, while Wudao Pavilion is a place to genuinely improve one's strength. Moreover, people above the fifth floor of Tongtian Tower don't come here, so it's natural that there are fewer people.

The person in charge of Tongtian Pavilion was an old man, an unfathomable old man, because in Yi Shuihan's perception, this old man was exactly the same as an ordinary person. Obviously, such a thing could not happen here. To survive in this Myriad Realms United Academy, one must be at least Gold level, which is why the admission standard is Gold 1-star.

If someone with strength surpassing even a True Saint like Yi Shuihan couldn't perceive the old man's true power, then this old man's strength must be even greater than Yi Shuihan's, and he might even be a Chaos Emperor.

Yi Shuihan held this senior, who was stronger than him and also a fellow human, in high esteem and therefore behaved very politely.

"Hello, senior. I'm a freshman and I want to challenge the Tower of Babel. Could you please explain it to me?"

The old man glanced at Yi Shuihan, and was quite satisfied with Yi Shuihan's attitude, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"A new face! Coming here at this hour, a genius admitted without examination, and a human at that, not bad, not bad. Just call me Wei Lao."

If anyone saw Elder Wei speaking to a student in such a kind and approachable manner, they would be quite surprised, because this elderly man surnamed Wei is not usually so easy to talk to. He is always cold and unfriendly to everyone, with a dark expression, and he has a nickname: Wei the Black.

"My name is Yi Shuihan, and I have met Wei Lao."

"Hmm, not bad, you're polite. You're here to challenge the tower, right? Give me your ID card, and I'll set up your access permissions."

Yi Shuihan handed the identity card to Wei Lao, who then manipulated the card for a while, and a tower-shaped mark appeared on it.

"Okay, take it inside and find a seat. You'll understand what happens next when you see it."

"I wonder how many levels this kid will pass? With a 7-star talent, he can generally pass 4 levels, but the chances of passing 5 levels are slim. Many of the older students in the school are stuck at level 5, and he's only here, so he'll probably pass level 4."

Wei Lao watched Yi Shuihan enter Tongtian Pavilion with a look of curiosity on his face.

The difference between each level of the Tower of Babel is enormous; the difference between each level is equivalent to a realm, which translates to a tenfold increase in combat power.

"As expected, anyone who sees it will understand. If you don't understand this, you're really an idiot."

Looking at the clearly written operating rules in front of him, Yi Shuihan muttered to himself.

Multiverse United University

Chapter 1240, Clearing Level 5

"The tower challenger is detected to be a first-time challenger. You have 30 seconds to prepare. You will enter the first floor of the Tower of Babel in 30 seconds."

A thought transmitted a message to Yi Shuihan's mind, and Yi Shuihan understood that the challenge of the tower was about to begin.

"I see. Time is synchronized with the outside world when you challenge the tower here. Only by obtaining that special item can you keep the outside world in sync no matter how long it takes to challenge the tower."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Yi Shuihan adjusted his state, focusing all his energy on breaking through the Tower of Babel.

"Is this a virtual space? No, that's not right, this is completely my body, my real body?"

The sensations emanating from his body shocked Yi Shuihan. He was intimately familiar with this body and couldn't find a single piece of evidence that it wasn't his own. However, he ultimately confirmed that this wasn't his true form, because...

"I can't sense the personal world, or rather, I can feel it, but it feels very far away. Moreover, here I can only use the power of the Dao, and I can't use other powers."

Even the power of the personal world can be isolated, so the power of this Tower of Babel is indeed beyond Yi Shuihan's expectations. However, upon further reflection, he realized that passing through all nine levels of the Tower of Babel is related to the Great Dao Emperor, and passing through the seventh level would reach the level of the Chaos Emperor. All of this seemed to make perfect sense.

Yi Shuihan was currently in a void space. Soon, a person who looked exactly like him appeared in front of him, but this person had a cold expression and ruthless eyes, just like a machine.

"Defeat me."

A chilling voice echoed throughout the space, followed by flashes of lightning and a deafening roar.

"So that's how it is. Is this the application of the first level of the Dao?"

Yi Shuihan looked thoughtfully at his clone and instantly understood how to pass the Tower of Babel: defeat "himself" with a more refined Dao or simply crush it with a stronger Dao.

The "self" before him was using Yi Shuihan's strongest Thunder Dao, which led Yi Shuihan to suspect that the Tower of Babel would automatically detect the strongest Dao that the challenger had comprehended and test the challenger with the corresponding Dao.

The guess was confirmed the next moment, because Yi Shuihan discovered that he couldn't use the Dao of Time at all.

Fortunately, the first level was far beyond Yi Shuihan's true strength, so even though Yi Shuihan was somewhat unorthodox, he handled it with ease.

After observing "his" own fighting style for a while, Yi Shuihan gained a certain understanding of fighting styles that only use the Dao, and through this analogy, his application of the Dao improved considerably.

After studying for about ten minutes and finding that he could no longer learn anything new, Yi Shuihan finally took action to eliminate "himself".

A beam of light shot towards Yi Shuihan. Without understanding the situation, Yi Shuihan tried to dodge, but failed.

"This is......"

Feeling his strength slightly restored, Yi Shuihan guessed the purpose of the light: to restore the climbers' condition so they could proceed to the next level at their peak.

"Now I can use my full strength without worry!"

After a moment of reflection, Yi Shuihan disappeared from the spot 10 seconds later.

"Second floor?"

What appears before you is a scene similar to the first floor, the only difference being that the space on the second floor is much more stable. The power of using the Dao of the second floor in battle here should be about the same as using the Dao of the first floor on the first floor.

Another Yi Shuihan appeared on the other side, and after saying "Defeat me" again, he launched an attack.

"That's really simple and straightforward."

After muttering this to himself, Yi Shuihan resumed his studies. Half an hour later, having exhausted all his learning, he decisively defeated himself.

While Yi Shuihan was attempting the trial, outside the Tongtian Pavilion, Elder Wei looked in Yi Shuihan's direction with a puzzled expression, muttering to himself, "What on earth is he doing? He hasn't even finished the first level after ten minutes. Even an ordinary True Saint could finish a battle on this level within a minute. Could something have gone wrong?"

Wei Lao was quite concerned about Yi Shuihan, so he was worried when he saw that Yi Shuihan couldn't pass the level for a long time. He only breathed a sigh of relief after Yi Shuihan finally passed the first level.

"It took him half an hour to complete the second level. It's amazing that he could play for so long."

Now that he's older, he no longer sees anything wrong with it, but rather believes that Yi Shuihan is just playing around.

"He passed the third level smoothly. Next is the fourth level. If he can get through it, it should be almost over. With his strength, he would probably be instantly killed if he entered the fifth level."

In Wei Lao's opinion, it would take Yi Shuihan at least half an hour to pass the fourth level. Generally speaking, a 7-star genius takes about 45 minutes. However, Yi Shuihan passed the fourth level in just 20 minutes, which was even less time than the second and third levels.

"This kid has really given me a pleasant surprise!"

He was taken aback at first, then a smile appeared on his face. Especially when he saw that Yi Shuihan had been on the 5th floor for several minutes and had not come out yet, his smile became even more unfathomable.

"You've been hiding quite a bit, kid. I don't know why you're hiding anything, but here, there's no need to hide anymore. Because here, no one can forcibly eliminate a genius with the potential to break through to the Chaos Emperor realm. After all, this is..."

The sounds behind were already barely audible.

In the fifth city of the Tower of Babel, two figures constantly clashed in the void, the power of lightning roaring and dyeing the space purple.

"Still troublesome. The fifth level has suddenly increased my strength by so much. If that's the case, I'm afraid I can't get past the sixth level. Is the fifth level the only one? I thought I could get past the sixth level. It seems I overestimated myself."

"In that case, let's end it here! Take this move, Infinite Lightning Flash."

Behind Yi Shuihan, countless purple light spots formed, which then transformed into countless bolts of lightning that struck out, turning everything in their path into nothingness.

"Continue the challenge?"

Just when Yi Shuihan thought he would be teleported to the sixth floor, a notification came.

"So the 5th floor really is special! But I still want to see the strength of the 6th floor."

After choosing to continue, Yi Shuihan arrived at the sixth floor.

Five seconds after entering the sixth level, Yi Shuihan failed to pass the challenge, and his consciousness returned to his original body.

"They actually got beaten in a second! I couldn't even tell how much of a difference they had!"

Chapter 1241, Virtual Battlefield

Upon entering the sixth floor, before Yi Shuihan could even properly observe his surroundings, his "self" attacked him without warning. Yi Shuihan instinctively defended himself, and that was the end of it.

Yi Shuihan was certain that his Chaos Body could withstand that level of damage, but the Tower of Babel seemed to have a special judgment method, so Yi Shuihan was directly judged as having failed the challenge and his consciousness returned.

Without attempting the challenge a second time, Yi Shuihan took his identity card and left Tongtian Pavilion. He met Wei Lao, greeted him, and then left. The two did not have any special interaction during this time.
