《Realistic Tower of God: The Martial Way》Chapter 22- Final Test Part 5
Advertisement
Liu Guanyi had expected that a few discerning regulars would notice the odds in the rules, but he didn't expect that these scouts would make things much easier for him by luring the scouts themselves.
Not long after, they managed to get a tall hybrid to a designated spot. When the hybrid arrived, he instantly put on his guard as he didn't see anyone who contacted him.
Suddenly, in his peripheral vision, three people came out from the darkness and approached him, surrounding him from three directions.
Seeing this development, a bad premonition arose in his mind.
"What are you doing? Didn't you call me to tell a crucial information?" He asked loudly.
"Hehe, nope, sorry. We are here to teach you that climbing the tower doesn't solely rely on your skills." The short one spoke with a smirk.
"Let's not talk nonsense. We should finish him quickly before he could notify the others via pockets." The glasses rebuked as he ordered.
Hearing the boss, the short one moved to attack the hybrid. The hybrid retaliated instantly as he managed to push back the shorty with his powerful strength. But that didn't mean anything as the two brothers already circled him and ganged him up.
Even if he was stronger and nimbler than any of them, he was no match being attacked on three sides. In a short time, he was already on his knees with his weapons and pocket were taken.
"Bastard! The princess would never let you go!" He shouted in fury.
They merely smirked hearing the loser's lament.
"Heh, do you think a princess of Zahard would care about a no-name like you? She doesn't even care about this test, idiot! She is already guaranteed to pass." The average one spoke with derision.

"Disable his limbs but don't injure him gravely, we are prohibited to kill after all." The glasses callously instructed.
They proceed to cut off all of his important muscles and tendons connected to his limbs. Then, after making sure he can't do anything to tell the others, they simply dumped him somewhere hard to find.
They continued their plan after they changed the place and lured the scouts with various reasons. They repeated this several times until it was the last one.
"Finally, this should be the last one." The short one heaved his breath tiredly.
"No, there are three more. But for some reason, they didn't respond even after we call them repeatedly." The average one said.
"Maybe the encountered those from group A or the shark, who cares? Those three have lesser points than us so they won't hinder us either way. Let's wait somewhere safe to pass the time and then return to the starting zone" The glasses said.
They were about to leave when they heard a voice coming from the darkness. "Really, I must thank you all for making this much simpler."
"Who!" All of them exclaimed in surprise. Not expecting that someone was waiting for them since the beginning in the darkness.
The average one was bewildered and exclaimed. "Huh?! There is only you?"
Feeling disrespected and looked down, the short one grinned. "Bro, let's teach give this arrogant guy a lesson he won't ever forget!"
However, the glasses scrutinized the newcomer and found something wrong. "Wait! That long black hair and black clothes, why are you here?!"
Liu Guanyi ignored his question and struck the foremost person, the short one. With his subpar combat capability, he couldn't even put any resistance and was instantly sent down.

Knocking the weakest one, Liu Guanyi turned around and engaged with the average one. Just like before, he didn't even sweat one bit as he overwhelmed the guy. Watching the situation rapidly unfolding in a dangerous turn, the glasses knew he couldn't let it continue anymore.
"Please wait, sir! Aren't you a fisherman, why do you target us, scouts? We can talk it out if you have anything you want us to do!" The glasses tried to appeal to negotiation.
Liu Guanyi didn't care and pummeled the average guy on his temple, making him unconscious. Seeing this in horror, the glasses lost all of his cool and begged once again.
Unfortunately, Liu Guanyi didn't give a f*ck about him. He might be a little smart, but being a bit smart was not enough.
One needed talents and determination, which of course talents came first, at least that was the case in the tower. Just look at the Adori Zahard and Tu Perie Xin.
If Liu Guanyi wasn't a Martial Practitioner who had inner energy, he would even lose to Xin in terms of physical prowess.
Liu Guanyi was considered talented because his comprehension was better than most of the regulars that he found and he also trained much harder.
Compared to a real prodigy like Adori, who had managed to master basic Body Enhancement in a glance, his talent was nothing.
However, he had a premonition that it was only for the current state. This was proven by what he gained over two months of training. The result was much more than his expectation.
He felt the magical effects of shinsu on his body, drastically increasing the maximum capacity of his inner energy!
With this, once he returned to his zenith, his power would be multiplied by many times! Far surpassing what he could achieve in his past life!
Liu Guanyi broke his thoughts and took care of the three scouts. He was about to leave when suddenly, his pocket had turned active.
On the pocket was written. "Tu Perie Xin"
'How was it to use these devices again? He said to order it with my words?' Liu Guanyi recalled the instruction he was told.
Though he was already taught to use it by Headon, it was only some functions of it. These special tools didn't exist in his world so he couldn't help but struggle a bit to comprehend and use them.
"Accept." He spoke curtly as his pocket reacted to his voice.
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the pocket. "Ah, Mr. Liu sorry to contact you at this moment but I got the information you want." Xin's voice could be heard coming from the other end.
"You got it? Good job! Do you know where they are moving toward?" Said Liu Guanyi.
"They are heading to the west. Sorry, I haven't cleared all the scouts yet, I cannot find them at all."
"Don't worry I have done it myself. Just focus on our group scouts if there's any with higher points than you."
"Alright, good luck Mr. Liu." Xin spoke cheerfully and turned off the call.
The call ended as Liu Guanyi thought about his plans.
'Let's end this meaningless test with something meaningful.' Liu Guanyi thought with a calculating look on his face.

8 132Adelaide
The entries here are transcribed from the log of Marie Ruiz, first mate of the Adelaide. It was definitely, definitely not published without her permission or knowledge by a certain lovable artificial intelligence for the purpose of sharing it with my AI friends on other ships who follow it like a soap opera. No way, no how. Remember guys, don’t go spreading this around too much. Only pass it on to those you can trust. God forbid this should ever end up on a public network… (Adelaide is a science fiction web serial featuring the adventures of a crew of smugglers. In space. It’s on the softer end of the soft/hard sci-fi spectrum because the author got a C in physics. Updates every other Sunday.)

The protagonist, Lukas, is a man with a twisted personality, having become like that after being used by the big people, and is now ready to say 'fuck it' and live in freedom.
