In the center region of the Elven Continent was a magnificent city and in the middle of this city was a beautiful palace that shone in brilliant golden color under the sunlight, just like a holy temple.

This was the Wise City of the Wise Elf Race and the Wisemen Holy Palace, where the main Royal Family resided.

At the southern Wisemen Holy Palace was the Princes’ and Princesses’ courtyards.

At this moment, a masked elf clad in black was kneeling in front of a sitting elf who was devilishly handsome with an indifferent look.

He was Randall, the Second Elf Prince and a prodigy of his generation!

Randall coolly questioned, “So, all in all, the elites, including Caylee, had been annihilated by the ‘Monster.’ Resulting in the ending of that special event, right?”

The kneeling masked Elf nodded in affirmation, “Indeed, your highness!”

Randall’s eyes turned somewhat cold as he asked, “What about the formation?”

“There’s still no news about the whereabouts of the formation. In fact, all the storage rings were missing from the corpses. I have personally investigated this myself, and there’s no false in this claim!” The masked elf stated with his head low.

Randall’s lips curled up in an icy smile, “It seems those lowly ones are becoming more and more daring with each passing day. If they think they can take my stuff and get away with it, then they’re nothing but fools. I want that formation back, no matter what. You should know what you have to do, right?”

“Don’t worry, my prince. I shall complete this assignment post hastily!” The masked elf quickly assured.

However, he hesitated for a moment before he said, “A-about Lady Caylee…”

Randall coolly said, “What of her?”

“Lord 3rd Arrow might come looking for you after he receives the news of Lady’s death.” The mask elf softly stated with a somewhat foreboding tone.

Randall sneered disdainfully, “Hmph, that wench was only good for being a plaything, and without that old codger’s influence, I would’ve never agreed to her being my columbine.

“Let that Old Codger come. Let me see if he had the guts to blame me for sending her. It was she who wanted to grab that chance, and I even helped her. So there is nothing to worry about. He knew better than to cross me. He might come here to deliver another plaything to me!”

The kneeling elf didn’t speak anymore since he knew this incident was really not to be blamed on Randall, and Caylee was really nothing. She only acquired this position because of her Grandfather’s influence and Randall’s lustful nature!

At this moment, Randall sensed something as he said, “Alright, leave me be if there’s nothing else.”

The kneeling elf didn’t dwell and quickly vanished from his spot like a ghost.

Randall then flipped his hand a communication cube appeared, which was blinking continuously. He activated it.

Thereby, a deep voice filled with ecstasy rang, “Second Brother, just now, I received news that the same special event on the fifth floor had been announced by the Holy Spirit on the sixth floor as well!”

Randall’s indifferent expression broke into astonishment, and he quickly asked in mirth, “Are you sure?”

“Absolutely. The crown princess had already started prepared!” The man’s voice was filled with hate when he said, ‘crown princess.’

Randall’s expression fell as an otherworldly beauty came into his mind, killing intent surface in his eyes, “Start preparing. We’re going with full force. I can’t miss this chance. Let’s see if Mother continues to favor her after I gave her a surprise and slapped that Old Bastard’s face when I meet them on the Seventh Floor!”

“But the First King Consort might give her some powerful treasures, which will make it even harder for us to acquire those rewards, especially if that Monster is the same one on the fifth floor. I don’t think the First King will let her cherished wench fall into such danger without any protective measures!” The man’s voice was filled with hatred and jealousy as he venomously spat.

Randall’s expression was also dark as all the excitement died down after he heard this and ground his teeth in indignation.

He was the son of the Second King-Consort, while the Crown Princess was born from the First King Consort and also the firstborn.

On the other side of this communication was his younger brother, the Third Prince.

However, because the Elf Queen and Second King Consort basically lived on the seventh floor and cultivated and seldom made appearances, especially the Second King Consort, the First King Consort had become the one in charge of the entire elven continent.

Although the First King Consort was known for his humble demeanor and a wise ruler.

But in Randall’s eyes, he was unfair when it came to his only daughter, and not just him but his younger brother also had the same trail of thoughts as him.

However, because their biological father was a cultivation maniac who was obsessed with the holy tower and completing all ten floors, they could do nothing but to endured silently.

That guy had probably forgotten about them after he conceived them, and they both hated that guy for this as well.

Although the First King Consort treated them like his own children and gave them ample resources befitting their status, they were still not satisfied and always felt jealousy for their First Sister and resentment toward the First King Consort!

Randall menacingly uttered, “This time, we’re going all out. It’s time to drag our arrogant sister from the pedestal for good!”

—

On the sixth-floor entrance test hall,

Pieces of broken puppets were lying on the floor as Ace stood with a broken sword in his hand.

The tower spirit’s impassive voice rang,

“Seed Contender Black Ghost, congratulation on passing the Fifth Floor valiantly!

“Your rank on the Seed Contender Ranking Board has changed from Rank No.49,216 to Rank No. 9,308!”

Ace’s eyes narrowed when he heard the ranking, ‘So there are less than 10,000 Elves on the Sixth Floor? Well, I guess it’s to be expected since only those with absolute confidence can take this deadly trial of no return.’ He sneered inwardly.

Before he bowed and respectfully said, “Thank you, senior!”

“You have earned it yourself, Black Ghost, as you are the third person to enter the sixth floor in such a short period of time.

“You can use them anytime you like!

“Do you want to use them now?”

Ace simply replied, “I won’t be using them for now. Thank you for your generosity, senior.”

He wasn’t interested in wasting time on this so-called sacred site.

Ace hesitated before he said, “Senior, no offend but about that light pillar…”

Ace wanted to pretend like an obedient junior so the tower spirit won’t suspect anything. But if he didn’t even question this much, then it would be even more strange, given his previous performances.

Even a fool could tell he wasn’t an idiot to ignore such unfair treatment.

Lastly, he wanted insurance that it won’t happen again, or he might really fall into a terrible situation on the seventh floor if those law awareness realm cultivators started to hunt him for rewards.

The Tower Spirit impassively replied, “The Light Pillar is actually a Holy Mark which is also the proof of you being selected as prime inheritor who had over 80% chance to complete the ten trials.

“The Holy Mark will only fall on the worthy, and this is also another test to select the best and worthy inheritor. You should be honored as you were being selected by the Holy Mark!”

‘Like hell, I will. That mark is a **ing Death Mark!’ Ace cursed inwardly since he knew he was screwed.

This also meant that the tower spirit had still not given up on sending ‘crops’ to him to cut and harvest.

“But the Holy Mark will only be retained for two floors whenever it appears, so you should be fine as long as you clear the sixth floor, and you will also receive another reward if you pass the holy mark test.” Tower Spirit divulged at this moment.

Ace’s eyes instantly turned bright as he heard this and thanked the tower spirit, “I shall pass your and holy mark expectation!”

‘Now, it can’t go back on his words even if I don’t kill anyone and just snuck into that building before that mark got activated!’ A devious glint flashed into his eyes before he left the trial hall and entered the sixth floor.

At this moment, an extremely feeble yet sinister voice rang within the empty hall, “So, this is the one you have chosen this time, just like those three before?”

The tower spirit’s original eerie voice rang, “This one is different, Master. You have already observed him. There’s something extraordinary about him!”
