C9 Tang Liang's Turn

At this point, more than two hours had passed since Su Yi entered the Demon Suppressing Tower.

The students out in the Martial Arts Practice Field could no longer contain themselves.

They walked over to Lin Qingshan with purpose and grilled their teacher.

"Mr. Lin, it's been over two hours, but there's still no sigh of Su Yi. What does this mean?"

But Lin Qingshan was just as confused as them, perhaps even more so.

Logic stated that Su Yi should have emerged a long time ago. He only needed to stay in the tower for thirty minutes. It was pointless for him to stay any longer than that.

"Mr. Lin," Tang Liang cleared his throat and spoke with confidence. "I believe I know what is going on.

Something must have happened to the Demon Suppressing Tower that resulted in the eradication of the Ferocious Beasts. How else could that worthless trash bear to stay inside for such a long time?"

"Keep talking like that, and I'll beat you up right here and now!" Su Lin immediately scolded Tang Liang.

She wouldn't stand for anyone degrading her brother in front of so many people.

"Be reasonable, Su Lin! I am simply stating facts."

Tang Liang looked affronted by her words, yet at the same time somewhat wary.

Su Lin was a Vitality Stage Level 4 user, while he was only on Vitality Stage Level 3. He had no doubt that he wouldn't stand a chance against Su Lin should she decide to attack him.

"Why should I keep quiet when you're humiliating my brother behind his back?"

Su Lin demanded, unwilling to let him off so easily.

Tang Liang gritted his teeth in frustration. He couldn't afford to argue with the girl further. He turned to the teacher again and said, "You should send someone to investigate, Mr. Lin. That's the only way to confirm that things went as they were meant to. I volunteer to go in myself."

He was feeling rather complacent.

Tang Liang was convinced that the Ferocious Beasts had really disappeared from the Demon Suppressing Tower.

Now, he only needed to verify it for himself, and ultimately prove that he wasn't wrong about calling Su Yi a piece of trash.

Lin Qingshan considered the boy's suggestion. After some hesitation, he produced another jade pendant and gave it t Tang Liang. "Be careful."

Regardless of the students' presumptions, they needed to figure out what had happened in one way or another.

Originally, only those on Vitality Stage Level 3 and below were allowed to step inside the tower. The spatial treasure served a specific purpose, after all.

Luckily, Tang Liang was a Vitality Stage Level 3 user. Lin Qingshan had faith that the boy was more than capable of facing whatever waited inside the Demon Suppressing Tower.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin."

Tang Liang said in a relaxed tone.

If Su Yi was able to stay within the Demon Suppressing Tower for two hours, then so could he.

Tensions rose again as everyone watched Tang Liang enter the tower.

As soon as the doors closed, Lin Qingshan directed his gaze back to the screen.

There were two white dots now, one on the third level, and the other one on the first level.

The former being Su Yi, while the latter was the newcomer, Tang Liang.

The more Lin Qingshan looked, however, the deeper his brows furrowed.

The dot on the third floor was still darting back and forth at an amazing speed.

Meanwhile, the dot on the first floor had slowed its progress.

That meant that Tang Liang had encountered a Ferocious Beast, and was likely attacked.

This, in turn, meant that there was no problem with the Demon Suppressing Tower at all, as Ferocious Beasts were still most certainly present.

But that only made Lin Qingshan all the more confused.

The creatures on the third floor were undoubtedly stronger than the ones on the first floor, so why was Su Yi unfazed?

Was it possible that the boy's strength actually exceeded Tang Liang's?

No, that would be impossible.

Su Yi's talent was only at 1 star, and he had no cultivation base prior to entering the Demon Suppressing Tower. How could he become much stronger than Tang Liang within the span of two hours?

Just then, a frail-looking old man with white hair made his way across the Martial Arts Practice Field and approached Lin Qingshan.

Despite his modest appearance, his eyes glinted sharply. Upon closer inspection, the old man had a majestic bearing, one possessed only by nobles and grand masters.
