Chapter 507: Above the Sword Tower (Seeking Attention)
After hearing Liu Chi's words, everyone in the Sword Tower became confused for a moment, and several eyes turned to a man at the same time.
Feeling everyone's gaze, the man who was acting as the Sword Tower's agent slowly stood up, lightly jumped onto the platform, leaned over to Liu Chi's side and whispered,
"Master Sword God, please come with me."
After saying this, the man jumped off the platform in front of the shocked gazes of all the Sword Tower staff and walked into the tower.
After putting on the armor on his legs, relying on the armor's cushioning, Liu Chi followed the man and jumped down from a platform nearly three stories high.
Looking at the confused people in front of him, Liu Chi did not explain too much, but walked through the crowd.
After following the man into the tower, the man began to introduce,
"Master Sword God, my name is Li Bai. My father is from the East and my mother is from the West, so the pseudonym I have always used is Fitzgerald."
As he spoke, Li Bai took Liu Chi into a compartment that looked like an elevator. After taking out the elemental stone from the space ring and placing it on the small plate in the compartment, the entire compartment began to rise rapidly under the drive of magic.
"Master Sword God, I want to know, did you also come to the Sword Tower under someone's order?"
Liu Chi knew that this question was full of loopholes. If he couldn't answer it properly, it was very likely that everything would be controlled by the manipulator behind the scenes.
After listening to Alice's statement, Liu Chi deeply understood that in a world where strength is supreme, the people at the top of the pyramid have not yet appeared.
"Please don't ask questions that are not your business, Mr. Fitzgerald."
Li Bai raised his lips slightly, closed his eyes and felt the breath of Liu Chi, then gritted his teeth and smiled reluctantly.
"Master Sword God is right, but I still like people to call me Li Bai. After all, this is my real identity. From childhood to adulthood, my mission is to become the master of the Sword Tower."
Hearing Li Bai clarifying his position to him, Liu Chi ignored him, but he heard other meanings from his words.
That is, the world's top swordsman academy is like a toy to the people behind it, and they can appoint the highest commander at will.
Accompanied by a slight sound of air friction, Liu Chi knew that they were almost there. Then, a huge force pressed down from above, which was the inertia caused by the sudden stop during acceleration.
After the door opened, the view in front of me was a sunken hall. The sunlight came through the glass on the surrounding walls, painting the entire hall a layer of sunset yellow.
"Master Sword God, please!"
Li Bai made a gesture of invitation, and Liu Chi walked out while opening his soul realm.
For Liu Chi, everyone in the Sword Tower has the potential to kill him alone. Without knowing what the Sword Tower's real purpose is for him, opening the Soul Realm for defense is undoubtedly the best option.
Li Bai took Liu Chi and walked up a staircase from the side of the hall that was only wide enough for one person. After going up the stairs, there was a huge conference room. Eight heavy chairs symbolized power and strength and were placed in eight directions. The only sunlight shone on the center of the conference table was a beam of light through the lens at the top of the tower.
"Master Sword God, all members of the past have believed that this is the top of the Sword Tower. I used to think so too. In fact, there is another level above this, but I don't know how to get in. The rest of the way is up to you."
Li Bai performed a standard aristocratic salute to Liu Chi, then left the meeting room with the sound of footsteps.
Liu Chi could be very sure in his spiritual realm that outside or above this conference room was the sky, and there was no so-called higher level.
But at the same time, Liu Chi thought of the mirror in the elves' territory. There was indeed no spatial continuation in the room, but the mirror contained an illusory yet real world.
Could it be that this place is the same as the elves?
Liu Chi thought about it, and his eyes slowly moved down to look at the certificate of courage in his hand.
"Are you the key to the upper floor?"
Liu Chi laughed while talking to himself, and at the same time used the space scan of his soul domain and armor to begin to have a more detailed understanding of the entire conference room.
The combination of real and imaginary analysis finally made Liu Chi focus his attention on the round table in front of him.
In the realm of the soul, the entire room is filled with only the energy of the sun, with no other energy source. In the scan of technology, the round table is the only thing put together in the entire room, and under the sunlight, a tiny crack is visible in the center of the round table like a closed eye.
Liu Chi exerted force with his legs and jumped onto the round table in one move, and walked into the sunlight. In a trance, Liu Chi seemed to catch a glimpse of the certificate of courage emitting a light as bright as a diamond.
But when Liu Chi looked at it directly, it simply reflected the sunlight with its silver-white sword body, emitting a gem-like luster.
Liu Chi frowned slightly, wondering if the scene just now was his illusion.
Liu Chi held the sword in both hands and thrust the Certificate of Courage forcefully into the center of the round table.
Although the surface of the center appeared to be an intact layer, Liuchi had already detected a crack directly beneath it.
Liu Chi's own strength was not enough to pierce the tough surface of the round table, so he transformed his armor from clothing into armor covering his entire body.
As the gem-like surface under the blade cracked, Liu Chi breathed a sigh of relief. The numbers in his sight continued to increase by five kilograms at a time. This was the armor calculating the force it was exerting downward.
With a crisp breaking sound, the branch in Liu Chi's sight stopped at 2240.
Just as Liu Chi expected, the round table seemed to be activated, and a huge magic circle slowly spread outward with the Certificate of Courage as the center. At the same time, Liu Chi found that his hands could no longer leave the Certificate of Courage.
This was also the first time that Liu Chi felt an extreme sense of suffocation. Despite his magic-resistant physique, he was actually controlled.
The moment the magic circle pattern took shape, Liu Chi and his sword disappeared on the round table.
Not long after Liu Chi left, Li Bai, who heard the noise, came up. After walking around the empty conference room, he burst into laughter, his tone sounding both crazy and helpless.
"Hahaha~ It seems there really is a higher level. I'm really just a tool!"
The intact round table continued to reflect the sunlight it received, illuminating the entire dim conference room.
The scenery in front of him changed, and he seemed to have come to another sunken hall. Liu Chi hurriedly opened the technology system to confirm his position. However, according to the conclusion given by the technology system, he was currently at the top of the sword tower.
While wondering, Liu Chi opened his soul realm and found that there was nothing in the surrounding layout in his soul realm, and the meeting room was just a few meters under his feet.
For a moment, Liu Chi had to accept the reality.
"Master Sword God!"
The voice behind him startled Liu Chi. He slowly turned around and looked at the old man who could not be displayed in the realm of Yuanshen.
"you are?"
The old man laughed, and in his laughter, Liu Chi saw two other old men walking out from different places.
The old man did not rush to say who he was, but waited until the other two came over, then the three of them half-knelt down in tacit understanding and said in unison,
"Sword slave welcomes Master Sword God!"
Sword slave?
A question popped up in Liu Chi's mind. Could it be that these three people had no names and were just slaves of the previous Sword God?
However, not long after the three of them talked, just when Liu Chi thought they were calling him, the Certificate of Courage broke away from his hand and slowly floated beside Liu Chi.
Seeing the three people looking at the Certificate of Courage instead of himself, Liu Chi suddenly realized.
Liu Chi sighed lightly, shook his head and walked to the side. At the same time, it was as if an invisible hand was holding the Certificate of Courage. It remained absolutely still and followed Liu Chi's steps to the side.
Liu Chi also noticed this phenomenon and reached out again to take the Certificate of Courage from his left shoulder.
The three sword slaves stared at the Certificate of Courage closely, without moving their eyes away for even a moment.
Picking up the Certificate of Courage from the air again, Liu Chi felt that in an instant, the Certificate of Courage, which was originally emitting light, suddenly dimmed. At the same time, the feeling of weightlessness made Liu Chi instantly tighten the hilt of the sword.
What happened? Why did I suddenly become heavier?
Then, the certificate of courage disappeared from Liu Chi's hand.
Looking at the Certificate of Courage disappearing in his hand, Liu Chi frowned, not knowing what had happened. He immediately took out the Certificate of Courage from the ring after trying to put it back into the space ring.
This time, the Certificate of Courage no longer had any light. It was just like it was before, extremely ordinary, even a little crude and ordinary.
