"Pū Chī—— Pū Chī—— Pū Chī——!"
At this moment, across the boundless desert, the sound of sharp blades piercing through bodies continuously echoed.
Fang Li's figure seemed to have split into numerous shadows, constantly flickering in every corner of the desert. His dagger transformed into streaks of blade light, relentlessly slicing through one black scorpion after another.
"————!"
The black scorpions emitted soundless screams that faded in the wind.
Each giant scorpion, with a body the size of a calf and extremely tough scales, seemed to have turned as fragile as paper as they were effortlessly sliced open by Fang Li's dagger. Their blood gushed out uncontrollably, splattering all around.
One by one, the black scorpions were reduced to severed limbs and torsos, falling onto the desert like trash.
Puddles of blood scattered in the desert.
At this moment, more than a dozen black scorpions had been killed.
Moreover, all the hooked tails that had emerged from the sandy ground were completely severed, wriggling for a moment like the tails of geckos before ceasing to move.
"Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp Chirp————!"
From the sandy ground, extremely sharp sounds resounded.
It was the wailing of the black scorpions whose tails had been severed.
Countless figures that had flashed in the desert immediately converged into one, causing Fang Li's figure to reappear. He looked towards the direction where the wailing was most intense.
"Bang————!"
The sound of a gunshot abruptly pierced the desert and a flash appeared in front of Fang Li.
Bullets that were invisible to the naked eye cut through the air, dispersing the surrounding dust as they landed in the direction of the wailing.
"BOOM————!"
In the next moment, the bullets that had landed in the desert caused a powerful explosion. It was as if an anti-tank rocket had struck that corner, generating a fierce burst of flames.
—Butei Bullets.
To be precise, they were explosive rounds.
Fang Li, who hadn't had the chance to use them in the battle against I-U, had brought them out now.
Therefore, under the intense explosion, the black scorpions hidden in the sandy ground were all blasted out.
When those black scorpions fell to the ground, figures appeared like mirages, turning their ice-blue Mystic Eyes toward the bodies of each black scorpion, ruthlessly slashing along the cracked lines.
"Pū chī—— Pū Chī—— Pū Chī——!"
The sound of tearing flesh was incessant in the surroundings.
Slaughter was taking place unilaterally.
Fang Li was like a Berserker, completely venting the frustration he had been suppressed by Sherlock last time, going mad with the killings.
This time's battle was completely different from the last one.
Even if black scorpions erupted from the sandy ground, Fang Li immediately detected them, swung his dagger, and killed them on the spot.
Even if the black scorpions didn't emerge from the sandy ground but instead hid, attempting to delay time and make Fang Li lose due to the time limit, they would only force Fang Li to waste one Butei Bullet, and then they would be forced out.
In an instant, blade lights and sword shadows soared in the surroundings and the sparks made flames reach for the sky.
In a situation where tactics were ineffective, the difficulty of this level was no different from the first floor.
Compared to the time on the first floor, Fang Li had made significant progress in his strength, making his slaughter more efficient than before.
It wasn't until the entire desert was covered in flames, and the severed limbs and torsos of black scorpions were spread out in pools of blood, the system's notification sound finally rang once again.
"Trial Completed, Time Taken: Three Minutes and Fifty-Two Seconds, Evaluation: S-Rank."
"Serial Number 11273, you have passed the 2nd Floor of the Tower of Trials. You can choose two rewards from the following options."
"1: Increase STR by 2 points."
"2: Increase VIT (Endurance) by 2 points."
"3: Increase AGI (Agility) by 2 points."
"4: Increase INT (Intelligence) by 2 points."
"Please choose."
Listening to the system's notification sound echoing from the depths of his mind, Fang Li was momentarily surprised and intrigued.
"This time, there are no Exchange Points as rewards?"
However, in place of Exchange Points, there were Attribute enhancements.
"But, except for AGI (Agility), I don't have much need for the other Attributes…"
Fang Li couldn't help but scratch his head as he looked at the rewards offered.
After all, Fang Li was an extreme speed-type Divine Envoy.
With Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, as long as his speed was high enough, who couldn't he kill?
"Although it was a bit challenging dealing with Sherlock…"
However, that wasn't because Mystic Eyes of Death Perception was too weak; it was because Sherlock's intellect was exceptional, allowing him to see through the secrets of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in an instant.
No matter how powerful an Ability is, once the ability is exposed, it will naturally be targeted.
While Mystic Eyes of Death Perception was indeed powerful and could kill anything, its weaknesses were also evident. Without the ability to cut the Death Line, it was as useless as a decoration.
"Moreover, when dealing with ordinary humans, the advantage of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception isn't that significant."
Fang Li had said this before.
For an ordinary human, there were many vulnerabilities. Just one slash to a vital point would likely result in death, and the presence or absence of Mystic Eyes of Death Perception made little difference in such cases.
Thinking up to here, Fang Li suddenly woke up from his daze, frowned, and contemplated.
"Because of how powerful Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is, have I become overly reliant on it?"
Indeed.
If it weren't for Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li wouldn't have been able to thrive in the Main God's Dimension.
For example, in the world of "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress," without Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li couldn't even kill a single Kabane, let alone a Fused Colony.
In the world of "God Eater," without Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, Fang Li couldn't even kill a small Aragami like the Ogretail, let alone a Deusphage Species Aragami like Aphrodite.
And in the world of "Aria of the Scarlet Ammo," Sherlock had used his Cognis ability to deduce the ability of Fang Li's Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, greatly diminishing its advantages.
"If, back then, I had not only focused on speed but also improved in other aspects, maybe I wouldn't have been suppressed so clearly?"
In other words, Fang Li had always believed that Mystic Eyes of Death Perception had clear weaknesses, but in reality, he also had clear weaknesses.
"If I didn't have Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, then I…"
Fang Li didn't dare to think further.
"Hū…"
After a moment, Fang Li let out a sigh.
"I'll choose STR and AGI (Agility)."
This step would be Fang Li's way of starting to compensate for his weaknesses, transitioning from an extreme speed type to an all-around speed type.
"By passing the 2nd Floor's trial, you have earned the qualification to proceed to the 3rd Floor. From now on, by entering the Tower of Trials, you will be directly teleported to the 3rd Floor."
"Do you wish to enter the 3rd Floor?"
Fang Li immediately chose to enter and vanished on the spot.
And so, Fang Li's journey of challenges in the Tower of Trials officially began.

Thank You.
It had to be said that since entering the Main God's Dimension, Fang Li had become far more hardworking than ever before.
Previously, Fang Li was just an ordinary Hikikomori. He would laze around whenever he could, even finding the effort to climb up and down stairs bothersome, let alone engaging in physical activities. This resulted in his Attributes being abysmal when he first entered the Main God's Dimension.
However, Fang Li was also the type who would wholeheartedly immerse himself in something once he decided to do it. Consequently, Fang Li had become extremely diligent in whatever he pursued.
So, Fang Li was really doing as he pleased.
Before, in order to improve his combat skills, Fang Li had trained like a maniac on the training ground, leaving no time for rest. Now, in his quest to enhance his Attributes, he had been immersed in the Tower of Trials for a full ten days, facing one challenge after another.
Of course, this time, Fang Li still took breaks when needed.
After all, unlike the simulated battles in the training ground, the challenges in the Tower of Trials were real, and after a battle, Fang Li sometimes expended an immense amount of stamina and even got injured, forcing him to rest.
However, even so, Fang Li's challenges continued to progress smoothly.
Though he had only gone through three Dungeon Worlds in a short period, purely in terms of power, even if he didn't use Stigma, Fang Li could contend with a Fourth-Ranked Entity.
As a result, Fang Li's challenges in the Tower of Trials were relatively successful.
Even though there were moments when he encountered danger and faced situations he couldn't handle, Fang Li still managed to break through successfully, earning rewards from the Tower of Trials time and time again.
The only commonality among the rewards from the Tower of Trials seemed to be that the higher the evaluation when clearing a stage, the more generous the rewards.
Due to this, Fang Li had heard that some people, when they thought their performance wasn't up to par, would simply give up on the challenge.
The reason was simple: once you successfully cleared a stage, you couldn't continue to challenge it. Otherwise, the Tower of Trials would become a place for point farming.
Recognizing this, Fang Li had also become smarter, choosing to give up and start over when he felt his evaluation wasn't going to be high enough.
And so, Fang Li spent all ten days of his resting time in the Tower of Trials.
Until the tenth day…
"Trial Completed, Time Taken: Twenty-Three Minutes and Twenty-Two Seconds, Evaluation: S-Rank."
"Serial Number 11273, you have passed the 20th Floor of the Tower of Trials. You can choose two rewards from the following options."
"1: 10,000 Exchange Points."
"2: Increase VIT (Endurance) by 5 points."
"3: Increase INT (Intelligence) by 5 points."
"Please choose."
In a forest, Fang Li listened to the familiar, icy system tone in his mind while surveying his surroundings.
Around Fang Li, massive pythons lay on the ground or hung from trees, all bleeding profusely from various wounds, saturating the forest with a thick scent of blood.
Fang Li was not unscathed either. His arm seemed to have been bitten, turning entirely bloody red, indicating a severe injury.
"Zing…"
Beneath a faint glow, Fang Li held a Healing Crystal in his hand, causing the severe injury on his arm to gradually fade away.
It was only at this moment that Fang Li's pale face, devoid of any trace of blood, began to regain its healthy complexion.
It was evident that Fang Li had experienced a perilous battle at this stage.
However, the rewards were equally substantial.
"Choose the second and third rewards."
With that, Fang Li's attributes underwent a sudden change.
…
Character: Fang Li
Race: Human
Title: Butei (S-Rank)
Level (Rank): Fifth Rank
STR: 44 (+27) (17+27=44)
VIT (Endurance): 36 (+27) (9+27=36)
AGI (Agility): 82 (+27) (55+27=82)
INT (Mystery): 26 (+7) (19+7=26)
…
The bonuses from equipment and titles totaled 88 points in attributes. Currently, Fang Li's attribute total is 188 Points. Subtracting the bonuses from equipment and titles, he now had precisely 100 points.
In other words, Fang Li had finally reached the limit of the Fifth Rank. Moreover, he still had 30 points of free attribute points left unused.
After spending ten days in the Tower of Trials, Fang Li successfully advanced to the 20th Floor without using any of his free attribute points. He had managed to conquer the theoretical limit of the challenges for the Fifth Rank on this floor, thus pushing his attributes to the limit of the Fifth Rank.
"Is this just right?" Fang Li muttered.
Indeed, it was just right. Not only in terms of time but also in the number of conquered floors, it was right at the limit of the Fifth Rank.
After the 21st Floor, the challenges would be designed for Fourth-Ranked Divine Envoys.
"By passing the 20th Floor trial, you have gained the qualification to proceed to the 21st Floor. In the future, When you enter the Tower of Trials, you will be directly transported to the 21st Floor."
"Would you like to enter the 21st Floor?"
Listening to the system's notification sound, this time Fang Li directly chose not to.
"I should apply for a Promotion Quest."
Leaving these words behind, Fang Li's figure disappeared into the forest, leaving it quiet once more.
…
Main God's Dimension, Residential Area, Personal Quarters.
Returning to his personal quarters, Fang Li immediately looked up at the ceiling and spoke slowly.
"Apply for a Promotion Quest."
As his words fell, the system's notification sound arrived promptly.
"Serial Number 11273 applies for a Promotion Quest."
"Application criteria met, Promotion Quest officially accepted."
Just as the system's notification sound concluded, the quest message entered Fang Li's mind.
"Serial Number 11273 triggers Promotion Quest: Fourth Rank."
"Promotion Quest One: Achieve three clearances with evaluations of S-Rank or higher. Achievement completion leads to success."
"Promotion Quest Two: Defeat a Fourth-Ranked opponent. Victory leads to success."
"Promotion Quest Three: Increase the Quest Difficulty by one rank in the next Dungeon World. Complete all Main Quests to succeed."
Examining the message that had entered his mind, Fang Li couldn't help but smile.
"It seems I've already completed Promotion Quest One in advance."
Fang Li had experienced precisely three Dungeon Worlds. Furthermore, the evaluations for the first two Dungeon Worlds were S-Rank, while the third had even surpassed to the hidden rank of EX-Rank.
"As for Promotion Quest Two and Promotion Quest Three, I'll have to see how things go in the next world."
With this thought in mind, Fang Li wasted no time and spoke aloud to the sky.
"Apply to enter the Dungeon World."
The system's notification sound responded.
"Serial Number 11273 applies to enter the Dungeon World. Beginning matching."
