Chapter 233 Sheng Xiao: What Engagement?!
Donor stood outside the front door while looking up at the number above the door with excitement.
He did not see Sheng Xiao at all. Either Sheng Xiao was left behind by him, or Sheng Xiao reached the
99th floor before him.
Of course, Donor hoped the situation was the former.
He touched his interspatial ring and thought of the two bottles of holy water in his interspatial ring. His
heart ached instantly.
He did not want to lose to Sheng Xiao again.
When he reached the 99th floor, Donor did not dare to act rashly.
He had made his way up from the 46th floor and had spent almost a month in the tower before he
reached the 99th floor. He had passed more than 50 tests in total, and each test was more difficult than
the last. When he was on the 98th floor just now, he had even faced a level 9 demon beast.
The level 9 demon beast was equivalent to a peak late-stage Grand Master expert. Donor was almost
trampled to death by the other party. He used all his strength to withstand the demon beast’s violent
beating and successfully opened the door to escape.
The 98th level was already so dangerous. Who knew what monsters were waiting for him on the 99th
level?
Donor took out a mouthful of holy water and meditated for a moment. After making ample preparations,
he got up and pushed open the door of the 99th floor.
The stone door was pushed open and a grayish-black light came out of the room.
Donor narrowed his eyes and walked in carefully. As soon as he did, he was distracted by the
magnificent wormhole overhead.
Staring at the unicorn pattern, Donor immediately felt awed.
He quickly placed his right hand on his chest and bowed to the unicorn. “Prince Donor of the Elven
Imperial Family greets the Prime Master.”
The selfless Prime Master had saved the entire Holy Spirit Continent. Even the elves respected him.
At that moment, Donor heard a moan.
He was shocked and immediately summoned his Elven Sword while looking warily in the direction of
the voice.
When he turned around, he saw Sheng Xiao lying in the corner with serious injuries. It was only then
that Donor noticed the smell of blood in the air. However, he was distracted by the wormhole above his
head and did not smell it.
“Sheng Xiao!”
Donor looked at Sheng Xiao warily and did not dare to act rashly.
Donor had encountered too many tests along the way. God knew whether the Sheng Xiao in front of
him was the real Sheng Xiao or a fake Sheng Xiao created by some ferocious beast. Sheng Xiao woke
up and felt a sharp pain in his arm.
Sheng Xiao looked down at his arm, then up at Donor. Then, he looked up at the top of their heads.
When he saw that Sheng Xiao did not say anything, he became even more cautious. After a while,
Sheng Xiao’s gaze landed on Donor. He looked puzzled and shouted in a strange tone, “Donor?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDonor was stunned.
What was going on?
Why was Sheng Xiao’s reaction so strange?
Donor nodded. “It’s me. How come you’re so badly injured?” Although Donor was also injured and his
clothes were torn, at least his arms and legs were intact.
He saw that Sheng Xiao was seriously injured and could not help but gloat. “Although you became a
Supreme Master two years earlier than me, I don’t think you’re that impressive. You’re as injured as a
dead dog when we’re going through the same checkpoint. I still look decent.”
Sheng Xiao looked confused.
Supreme Master?
When did he become a Supreme Master?
Shouldn’t he be attending Skysplit Tower’s graduation examination at the Divine Realm Academy?
Sheng Xiao was not sure what had happened to him, so he decided not to do anything.
Sheng Xiao said to Donor, “Please help me.”
Donor was afraid that Sheng Xiao would turn into a monster, so he did not dare to get close to him. He
returned the Elven Sword to its sheath and reached out to Sheng Xiao. “Come, hold it. I’ll pull you.”
Sheng Xiao cursed. “You’re crazy!”
He grabbed the scabbard and Donor pulled Sheng Xiao up.
Sheng Xiao leaned against the wall and heard Donor say, “You’re in a worse state than me, but you did
reach the 99th floor before me. I lost the bet.”
Then, Donor took out two bottles of holy water from his interspatial ring and threw them to Sheng Xiao.
Sheng Xiao reached out his right hand and grabbed the holy water that was thrown at him. His gaze
became even more confused.
“A bet?”
When he saw that Sheng Xiao did not seem to remember the bet, Donor rolled his eyes and scolded
him. “Sheng Xiao, you’re pretending to be amnesic and asking for a beating, aren’t you? You were the
one who made the bet with me before we came into the tower. I’ve already lost the bet. Do you still
want to pretend to be amnesic to humiliate me?”
Sheng Xiao said nothing.
He looked up at the unicorn pattern and the wormhole on his head, then at the Elven Prince, who
looked more mature than he remembered, and a thought came to his mind
Could it be that they charged into the Central Pagoda?
Could it be that there was something wrong with his memories, and his memories had stopped at the
Skysplit Tower challenge ceremony four years ago? In order to verify his guess, Sheng Xiao pretended
to say to Donor casually, “It’s not easy to break into the Central Pagoda. I almost died here.”
Donor smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Yes, I was on the ground floor downstairs just now and was
almost eaten by that demon beast. How did you defeat that demon beast?”
It was indeed the Central Pagoda!
Sheng Xiao did not remember anything. He did not dare to expose his amnesia in front of Donor. So,
he said, “It took some effort.”
“Forget it if you don’t want to say it!”
Donor looked up at the wormhole above him and asked in confusion, “What is this level testing us
with?”
Sheng Xiao stared at the blood on the ground and recognized that it was his blood. He guessed that he
had been injured on this floor. He did not know what had happened here to cause him to be so
seriously injured and lose four years of his memory.
“Let’s wait first. Let’s see if anyone else can charge up.” Donor sat down cross-legged and regulated
his breathing.
Seeing that, Sheng Xiao took out some healing medicine and swallowed it. Then, he adjusted his
breathing while standing some distance away from Donor.
After a long time, Sheng Xiao’s injuries were almost fully healed, but no one came out. He opened his
eyes and saw that Donor was awake. He said, “Perhaps, only the two of us reached the 99th floor.”
Donor didn’t retort.
He stared at the dried blood on the ground and suddenly said, “You’ve already successfully broken
through the tower, right? Those blood traces were left behind by you when you broke through?”
Donor had already noticed the blood on the ground. He just did not want to admit that he had lost to
Sheng Xiao again.
Sheng Xiao was silent.
Seeing his silence, Donor knew that he had guessed correctly.
“Forget it, let’s go!”
Donor pulled open the survival ring and immediately disappeared from the tower.
Sheng Xiao stared at the survival ring on his right wrist and pulled it open like Donor did.
The next second, Sheng Xiao was sent out of the Central Pagoda.
The other 118 people who challenged the pagoda were already eliminated. However, they did not
return to Tanzan City. Instead, they waited patiently outside the pagoda. They were curious about who
would win between Sheng Xiao and Donor.
Seeing that Donor was teleported out first, everyone knew the final outcome.
Soon, Sheng Xiao came out too.
The Grand State Master walked to Sheng Xiao and Donor and reached out a hand. “Give me the
survival ring.”
Sheng Xiao and Donor quickly handed the broken survival ring to the Grand State Master.
The Grand State Master threw the two survival rings into the air and they turned into two colorful light
rings. The Grand State Master counted the number of light rings carefully and said, “Congratulations,
Sheng Xiao. You have successfully passed the Central Pagoda test.”
Then, he said to Donor, “I have to congratulate you too, Donor. You successfully passed the 98th level.”
Donor pursed his lips. He did not want to look at Sheng Xiao anymore.
Yin Mingchong and the others congratulated Sheng Lingfeng. “Congratulations, Grand Master Sheng.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSheng Xiao has done you proud
again.”
Sheng Lingfeng thanked everyone and walked to Sheng Xiao. He saw that Sheng Xiao’s left arm was
seriously injured. He frowned and asked with concern, “Xiao’er, can you still use your hand?”
Sheng Xiao tried to move his left arm. “It can be used. I just need treatment.”
“That’s good.”
At this moment, Feng Tang walked over and said to Sheng Xiao, “Junior Sheng, congratulations on
clearing the Central Pagoda!”
“Thank you.”
Donor pursed his lips and cupped his hands at Sheng Xiao. He said weakly, “Congratulations…”
The other challengers also came over to congratulate Sheng Xiao. But, it was unclear whether they
were sincerely congratulating Sheng Xiao or jealous of him.
“Alright, the tower challenge ceremony is over. Let’s all go back.” Dino waved his hand and immediately
brought those merman race participants away.
After they left, the elven queen, Daiya, left with Donor and the others.
Yin Mingchong and the others left as well.
Sheng Lingfeng and Sheng Xiao had something to say. They went back to Tanzan City with Sheng
Xiao, Feng Tang and the other human beast tamers.
After entering the hotel in Bliss City, Sheng Xiao took off his torn clothes immediately and wanted to
take a shower.
He took off his tribe uniform and found a collar pin on the chest of his tribe uniform. He couldn’t help but
feel puzzled.
What was this?
Why was he wearing such a tacky accessory?
Sheng Xiao took off the stone-patterned collar pin and threw it into the trash can.
He took out a bathrobe from the cabinet and was about to take a shower when he heard Sheng
Lingfeng say, “Your mother asked me to ask your opinion. You two will get engaged at the end of the
year. What do you think?”
Sheng Xiao stopped in his tracks.
“Engagement?” He turned around and looked at Sheng Lingfeng in confusion. He frowned and said,
“I’m only 27 years old. Why should I get engaged?”
In the cultivation world, everyone had to be over a hundred years old to form a family.
Sheng Lingfeng was stunned.
He gave his son a strange look and said in surprise, “Don’t you want to get engaged early?”
Sheng Xiao snorted. He said sternly, “At my age, cultivation is my top priority. Dating delays my
cultivation. Father, please don’t mention engagement again.”
Then, Sheng Xiao went into the bathroom to avoid the wound on his arm and took a shower.
Sheng Lingfeng stood in the room and his gaze became blank.
What was going on?
Xiao’er had clearly mentioned the engagement on the phone before, so why had he suddenly changed
his mind?
Could it be that he had an argument with Yu Huang?
