Master of Kaidan-Chapter 565 Challenge Begins

After bidding farewell to Kukulcan, Feng Xue continued her ascent.

The intensity of the guards within Babylon Tower hadn’t increased significantly, yet there were many strange combinations of abilities now.

However, no matter how many abilities there were, they ultimately were not powers, in front of Feng Xue, they couldn’t even handle one "All Spirit All Nature" Basic Boxing technique.

However, as she defeated the guard of the hundred and first layer and stepped into this layer, the entire floor’s atmosphere had changed. If the floors below the hundredth still had the feel of residential areas hiding secrets, then this hundred and first layer wasn’t at all like a place for people to live.

From the outside, the entire hundred and first floor looked like an oversized manor, and the staircases of Babylon Tower were directly facing the entrance of this manor.

Her gaze passed the gate and the forest, looking towards the castle-like manor in the distance, and she took a slight step forward, then—

[This layer already has a Layer Master stationed, do you want to challenge?]

[No]

Feng Xue immediately stopped her steps, not planning to proceed forward. The presence of a Layer Master meant clear knowledge of the Kaidan World of this layer and having completed a walkthrough before, challenging would be like fighting on their home ground in a wholly subjective state.

This was different from previous challenges against Kaidan Worlds, which felt like a burglar walking into an empty house whereas now, it was more like breaking into a survival base built by others in preparation for the apocalypse.

On the way up, she found that the 104th, the 107th, and the 111th layers had no one occupying them, but when she arrived at the 114th layer, she indeed saw a Hefeng Manor and the notification[Layer Master is present].

After pondering for a moment, Feng Xue didn’t continue upward but returned to the 107th layer, observing the wheat field stretching towards the horizon, she thought to herself,

"Let’s test the waters first."

Thinking this, she rearranged her equipment.

From the inside out, they were: the Saint Fighter training outfit, Iron Armor, Masked Rider Mystical Lord, 24 sets of Bamboo Armor, and the outermost layer was the Phantom of the Opera’s evening dress.

Suffocation Blade was tied to her right arm, the Indescribable Stick was tucked into her sleeve, and the remaining weapons were packed into a guitar case carried on her back.

Then there were miscellaneous tools, such as Oathkeeper’s Appearance, Pardon Bell, Yellow Robe, a small quilt, Silent Boots, and others which she equipped one by one.

Lastly, she took out a box of business cards, a pen, a pocket watch, and placed them into suitable pockets. Then she lightly twisted the Titanium Crystal Ring on her little finger, completing the arrangement of her equipment.

If it weren’t for the Hermit Power, she really wouldn’t be able to face herself wearing four capes.

But just as she was about to take a step forward, Feng Xue hesitated again. After a brief silence, she still took out the Feminization Filter from deep within her heart and tucked it into her hide.

However, there were no creatures nearby anyway, and wearing the Feminization Filter didn’t make Feng Xue see anything unusual. Her Inner Qi circulated around her body, transforming between True Essence Power and Inner Strength, then she layered several defensive Immortal Techniques on herself before stepping towards the direction that looked like a barn.

[Detected no Layer Master stationed on this layer, proceed with Layer Master challenge?]

The calm yet emotionless voice of Infinite City echoed in her mind, and Feng Xue silently gave her response—

[Yes]

Instantly, a slightly odd-looking door appeared before her.

Having made up her mind, Feng Xue no longer hesitated and grasped the doorknob. The next moment, she appeared in...

Well, the restroom?

"No wonder that door felt so weird. Turns out it’s a public toilet stall door, wait a second! Why doesn’t this toilet have urinals?"

Feng Xue scanned the surroundings, her expression suddenly darkened. Without any hesitation, and before she could even process the label information that suddenly flashed in her mind, she directly pulled up the cape hidden by the Hermit Power and entered into an elusive state.

Although Qinggong would be faster, considering the unidentified details of this world, she chose to use more mysterious powers instead.

As she entered the Shadow World, she quickly left the empty female restroom, and what appeared before her next was a rather bustling indoor facility.

"This... a train station?"

Although baffled at first, the sight of station signs and ticket counters soon helped Feng Xue roughly understand her location.

"So, should I take the train next, or leave the station and go outside?" Feng Xue wondered, consequently focusing her attention on the additional label that had appeared.

Although nowadays the labels on her had already surpassed three digits and were racing towards four digits, she could still easily detect changes in the number of labels she controlled.

[Layer 107 Layer Master Candidate]

That was the name of the label, clearly a temporary one granted by Infinite City, and this label didn’t contain any knowledge or power, only a small segment of information resembling a game mission prompt—

[Take the K7 train to its terminal station.]

"Is this the test for the Layer Master challenge?" Feng Xue mused over these brief words, glanced at the station sign, then immediately headed towards the ticket counter.

Although unsure if there were any hidden troubles, to be cautious, she directly took out a coin and handed it to the person second in line,

"How about you let me take your place and you go back to the end of the line?"

The thirty-something, gender-unclear mature woman looked at the coin Feng Xue was holding, hesitated a moment, then took the coin and moved to the back. Since Feng Xue was swapping places and not cutting in line, the others in queue didn’t raise any objections.

"Are there still tickets for the K7 train?" Not waiting for the cashier to ask, Feng Xue immediately inquired. The cashier glanced at a computer beside them then nodded,

"Please select hard sleeper, soft sleeper, or regular seat?"

Common sense considered: regular seating accommodates dozens in one carriage; hard sleeper, around a dozen; and soft sleeper, only a few. If considering mere exposure time, undoubtedly, soft sleeper is optimal. However, thinking about the potentially long duration of this mission, soft sleeper might carry a higher risk.

But for Feng Xue—

"One of each, please."

Feng Xue, grandly offering the coin, indicated she wanted them all.

"Alright, please show your ID." The cashier didn’t move, waiting for Feng Xue’s response. Feng Xue immediately realized that this was the second test of the beginning.

What? The first test? Of course, it was money!

But her identity was not something difficult for Feng Xue to tackle, as she reached into her pocket and Hell School promptly issued her a student ID card.

Since it was an illusion, even if it had no other functions, it was absolutely sufficient in proving her identity.

Taking the student ID card and coin, the cashier quickly returned the three train tickets and the ID card, and didn’t forget to remind her,

"Sir, the K7 train will depart in 20 minutes. Please complete boarding as soon as possible."
