Scopulus looked irritated. Did Yusri really have to ask such a stupid question? He replied, "The towers, obviously. The Tower of Babel and Tower of Divinity." The answer was just as he expected. Yusri said with a smile, "No. It's the emerald bed in each contestant's room."Emerald bed? Scopulus frowned, thinking it over. "The towers are important, sure, but the beds are crucial! How can anyone go all-out in the towers without the beds for recovery? Don't you agree?" Scopulus' eyes lit up. That actually made sense. For contestants, both towers posed minimal danger since they could withdraw with a single thought if things got dicey. Doing so, however, meant they were injured. With only one precious year, injuries would prevent further tower attempts, which made healing essential. That was exactly what the emerald beds were for. These incredibly rare items that were exclusive to Star Alliance could heal not just physical wounds but soul injuries, too. "Are you suggesting

Though Felix knew Helen couldn't really help, he still described his experience on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel. Helen listened with wide eyes, clearly never having heard of anything like this before. "That's so tough! If he can do everything you can do, how can you possibly win?" Felix sighed and kept drinking. If he couldn't crack this, he planned to try the Tower of Babel one more time before switching to the Tower of Divinity. But giving up on improving his martial skills felt wrong—chances like this were once in a lifetime. "Felix, my family was actually pretty powerful back in the day. Our founder, the first elder, left behind some advice. "He said that for martial artists to reach their peak, they need to grasp the Way of Mind. Without it, you can only go so far. I think if you can cultivate the Way of Mind, you'd break through your current roadblock." The Way of Mind? Felix was intrigued. "Can you tell me more about it?" Helen gave a bitter smile. "The yo

The thought of Gerald lying to Felix vanished as quickly as it came. Felix dismissed it immediately. If nothing else, Gerald would never harm him. If Gerald had really wanted him dead, he could have killed him a thousand times over. Why would he go through all this trouble?Still, he had to believe what Chelsea was saying. He'd fought his double personally and understood the implications. "To strengthen my foundation, do I need to start training from scratch?" Chelsea thought for a moment before answering, "That's one approach. Either relearn a different technique, or if you're extraordinarily gifted, create your own technique that matches your current level." Starting over was not an option. The challenges were overwhelming. First, where would he even find a powerful technique? He was a stranger here—who would help him? As for creating one, Felix didn't think he was that brilliant. It might be possible, but time was precious now. Every day spent trying to develop a techniqu

A month had passed, and Scopulus stood in a hidden location with a dark, furious expression as he glared at Yusri. He growled, "This brilliant idea was yours! The plan's already in motion, and there's no turning back now. So, where the hell is Felix?"Yusri looked just as dumbfounded, puzzled as to what the hell Felix was doing inside the Tower of Babel. Ever since he went back in on the first day for the second time, he had not stepped out once in an entire month. The emerald bed was already prepped and waiting for him, but if Felix refused to show up and use it, everything they set up was basically useless."He can't stay in there forever," Yusri muttered, trying to convince himself.At Felix's current level, two months without food or water would be his absolute limit. Otherwise, his body would collapse.The real question was, what in the world was Felix doing on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel for so long? Even martial artists two full realms above him couldn't survive

Felix had barely stepped out when he noticed Julius and Xenon already waiting for him. He blurted out, "You two were waiting for me?"They nodded in perfect sync. "Duh! We've been waiting the entire day."Felix was surprised that it had only been a day. He had felt so drained, yet the emerald bed had wiped away all his exhaustion in just one night. That thing really worked wonders.He asked, "And why exactly were you waiting? You guys don't have better things to do?"Julius gave a helpless shrug. "Felix, you stayed on the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel for a full month without leaving. Can't we afford a couple of days to satisfy our curiosity?"Xenon didn't bother being polite. "What the hell were you even doing in there? Don't tell me it was nonstop fighting. There's no way you could've lasted that long physically."Felix chuckled. "I ran into a tricky opponent. However much force I used, he matched it exactly. We only wrapped it up yesterday."He didn't feel like getting in
