“What? Your college entrance exam is in the Heaven-reaching Tower?” When Mo Xiao heard this, the expression on the Sword Emperor’s face became strange. “If your college entrance exam is really held in the Heaven-reaching Tower, then your equipment might be useless.”

“What do you mean by ‘useless’? What does the Heaven-reaching Tower have that’s so special?” Mo Xiao furrowed his brows in confusion. He had only heard a passing mention of it from Yan Zhantian and had no idea about the specifics.

The Sword Emperor looked at Mo Xiao and didn’t directly answer him. “But people are clever nowadays. Using the Heaven-reaching Tower to test newcomers not only reveals their true strength but also avoids pointless deaths, and it doesn’t even cost any money.”

“?” Hearing the Sword Emperor’s words, Mo Xiao became even more puzzled. He had no idea what the Sword Emperor was talking about.

Looking at Mo Xiao and his confused expression, the Sword Emperor chuckled and said, “The Heaven-reaching Tower is a very special thing. It already existed in our era, but I didn’t expect it to appear in the current world.”

“A tower, what’s so special about it? At most, it’s just a place to test one’s skills, right?”

The Sword Emperor nodded. “That’s true, the Heaven-reaching Tower is simply a test of skills. It has about 100 levels, with each level being harder than the last.”

“Which level did you reach?” Mo Xiao asked curiously.

Hearing Mo Xiao’s question, the Sword Emperor couldn’t help but look proud. “Me? I’m the Sword Emperor, do you know how 1 earned that title?

“Back then, I reached the 95th floor! I was the highest-ranked person in the world at that time.”

Seeing the Sword Emperor’s smug expression, Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, “But what does this have to do with you saying that my equipment is useless?”

The Sword Emperor hesitated for a moment before answering, “The

Heaven-reaching Tower is a special instance created by the laws of the world.” “Instance dungeon?” Mo Xiao was momentarily confused by the term.

The Sword Emperor nodded. “Yes, in terms of its design, it is an instance with experience points and loot. Those who clear it and those who set new records receive special rewards.”

“But what sets it apart from regular instances is that it restricts the attributes of those who enter it.”

“Attribute restrictions?” Mo Xiao furrowed his brows again. “You mean it suppresses our attributes? To what extent?”

The Sword Emperor looked at Mo Xiao and said softly, “It’s not about how much it suppresses, but rather that all the attributes of everyone who enters the Heaven-reaching Tower are temporarily standardized under the influence of the world’s laws. Regardless of your class level or whether you’re already a god, when you enter the Heaven-reaching Tower, your attributes will be reduced to a certain level.”

“What?!” Mo Xiao was stunned by this revelation.

Reduced to the same level?

“What does that mean? I don’t quite understand,” Mo Xiao asked, feeling confused.

“It means exactly what it sounds like,” the Sword Emperor continued. “Once you enter the Heaven-reaching Tower, the attributes of everyone are temporarily unified under the world’s rules. Regardless of your class level, even if you’ve become a god, your attributes inside the Heaven-reaching Tower will be just as limited as everyone else’s.”

“What about equipment? Are equipment not allowed to be used?” Mo Xiao asked with a frown.

The Sword Emperor nodded and said, “Yes, equipment can also change. You can’t use your own equipment inside, so you can only choose a few from the choices the system gave you.”

“But you don’t have to worry about the type. As long as it’s equipment that exists in this world, it will appear in the Heaven-reaching Tower,” the Sword Emperor consoled him.

“Then… what about the Thousand Mechanisms Umbrella?” Mo Xiao asked curiously.

Hearing this, the Sword Emperor was silent for a moment before shaking his head and saying, “I don’t know about that. This should be a self-made weapon. Only God knows if it exists.”

Mo Xiao was silent for a moment before saying, “What about skills? Will they also be affected?”

“Equipment skills can’t be used, but your own skills can still be used. This is an ability that belongs to you. The Heaven-reaching Tower doesn’t suppress it, but all skills can only unleash the power of level 20,” the Sword Emperor explained. “Because the interface given to you in the Heaven-reaching Tower is about the attributes of a level 20 ordinary professional.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao fell silent again and then nodded slightly. “So, can you accompany me inside? Aren’t you part of my abilities?”

The Sword Emperor shook his head. “The Heaven-reaching Tower is very special. At most, you can bring your own pets with you. As for me, a wandering soul like mine wouldn’t be able to speak even if 1 entered. 1 can only watch your actions.”

“Alright, I think I understand now,” Mo Xiao said calmly after some thought.

“Why are you so calm? The Heaven-reaching Tower is not easy. Aren’t you worried that your attributes will be reduced, and you won’t be able to win?” the Sword Emperor asked curiously.

Mo Xiao smiled calmly. “It’s just a temporary reduction in attributes, nothing to be afraid of. Besides, for the next month and a half, I’ll be learning combat skills from you, right? Practice makes perfect, and I shouldn’t have too many problems.”

“Hahaha, that’s true,” the Sword Emperor said with a satisfied smile.

“Furthermore, most of my skills are not resource-intensive. Even if my attributes are reduced inside the Heaven-reaching Tower, it shouldn’t be a big problem,” Mo Xiao added indifferently.

The Sword Emperor raised an eyebrow. “Kid, don’t forget that many of your skills are red-tier, and they require a significant amount of mana. Inside the Heaven-reaching Tower, you might not be able to use them.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t have any problems,” Mo Xiao said, giving the Sword Emperor a somewhat exasperated look. “Why do you keep trying to discourage me? Are you hoping I’ll die inside the tower?”

“I never said that!” The Sword Emperor quickly shook his head in denial. “And besides, no one dies in the Heaven-reaching Tower.”

“No one dies?” Mo Xiao asked in astonishment. “Why doesn’t anyone die in the Heaven-reaching Tower? Are there special rules?”

The Sword Emperor explained, “The Heaven-reaching Tower’s existence is primarily meant to test and challenge humanity continually. Its main purpose is for trials. When you’re about to die, the system will teleport you out of the tower. It won’t let anyone truly die inside.”

“And can people who come out continue to challenge it?” Mo Xiao asked curiously.

The Sword Emperor nodded. “Yes, but they need to complete certain tasks to qualify for further attempts.

“Moreover, every 20 levels, you get an additional chance to challenge it again. It depends on how far you can go.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Xiao pondered for a moment and then stroked his chin. “This sounds a lot like a game.”

“Yes, but the Heaven-reaching Tower can truly sharpen a person. I advise you to take it seriously. After all, it’s an entity that humanity can never surpass,” the Sword Emperor said solemnly.

“Something humanity can never surpass?” Mo Xiao looked at the contemplative Sword Emperor and suddenly asked, “Sword Emperor, what happens if you successfully clear the Heaven-reaching Tower?”
