“Ah, I had a good sleep...” This lazy bum got out of bed slowly. He looked at the beautiful crystal clock hanging on the wall and rubbed his eyes. “It’s already 4 PM? I slept for so long...” Then, he rubbed his stomach. “I’m hungry...”

He instructed the robot servant. “Robot servant, make me some breakfast...”

“Hello, Master. What would you like to eat?” The robot servant came in quickly. “I’ll go prepare right away.”

“En...” Hong Dali thought for a while. “Make a few of the most expensive dishes.”

“Yes, Master.”

The robot turned around to leave.

Get out of bed, get dressed, wash up, prepare to eat...

Half an hour later, after having his fill of food and drinks, Hong Dali finally remembered what day it was. “Ah, speaking of which, today seems to be the day the Tower of Trials starts. I’ll go in and take a took...”

Enter the virtual world.

“Ding—”

Just as he entered the virtual world, Hong Dali received a message from Yin Tianzong. “Brother Dali, why have you just arrived. I’ve waited two hours for you. Where are you now?”

“Ah, sorry, sorry. I overslept.” Hong Dali smiled. “Big Brother Tianzong, I’m in the city. Where are you?”

“Huh...” Yin Tianzong took a deep breath. “Of course I know you’re in the city. But Shenluo is so big, how do I know which part of the city you’re in? Okay, do you see the Cloud Tower in the middle of the city? That’s where the Tower of Trials is held. It’s newly opened. Go to a teleport point immediately and tell them to teleport you to Cloud Tower, Area 1006. You will see me once you’re there!”

“Okay, okay. I understand!” Hong Dali nodded and looked around. “Oh right, Big Brother, where is the teleport point?”

“Find out from one of the guards by the road!” Yin Tianzong almost went berserk. “Hurry up! I’m being tortured in here! I’m waiting for you to take revenge for me!”

Alright, it seems Big Brother Tianzong was really tortured quite badly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t talk in this manner...

“Okay, okay. I’ll be there right away!”

He asked a guard, teleported to Cloud Tower, Area 1006, and a white light flashed. Before Hong Dali could see the surroundings, he heard Yin Tianzong’s voice. “Brother Dali, you’re finally here! You must take revenge for me!”

He turned around to see Yin Tianzong in a clean, white Galaxy Aristocrat cloak. There were four Third Order Planet Warrior guards beside him, and there were about thirty Honorary Aristocrats behind him, all lined up in sequence: red, orange, yellow, green, grey, blue, purple. Of course, there were more red-level Honorary Aristocrats than the others. By the time it came to green, there weren’t many left...

These people started whispering to themselves when they saw Hong Dali—

“This is the Double Honorary Aristocrat Hong Dali that the Lord mentioned? He seems so-so...”

“Don’t judge a book by its cover. Who knows how capable he is? But with his status, it should be no problem for him to pass level twenty...”

“It’s hard to say, see how small-sized he is. It’s already not bad if he can make it past level fifteen.”

“That’s true. He looks too skinny and weak. His strength is probably so-so. Double Honorary Aristocrat, I think he’s only good at making the Lord happy.”

“Indeed. His relationship with the Lord does seem not bad.”

The people behind whispered among themselves, but Hong Dali could not hear from where he was. Of course, it didn’t matter if he heard—anyway, he did become a Double Honorary Aristocrat through pulling strings...

Yin Tianzong started ranting to Hong Dali. “Dali ah, those beasts inside are really fierce! Even a perfect person like me couldn’t take them down! They ate me up inside! You’re a little stronger than me, so you have to take revenge for me later!”

“Ah, revenge?” Hong Dali looked left and right, then looked at Yin Tianzong. “Big Brother Tianzong, you look okay to me...”

“What okay!” Yin Tianzong shouted angrily. “In just two hours, I have died more than forty times. It was not easy to make it past level fourteen! You have to help me! The reward for level fifteen is the Meridian Seven Star Sword. I’ve always wanted one of those, you have to help me get it!”

“Alright.” Hong Dali nodded stonily. “I’ll try...”

“Brother Dali, I’ll leave it to you, then!” Yin Tianzong said to Hong Dali. “If you can pass level fifteen, I’ll secretly send more powerful guards to your manor! Your manor is almost ready. Other benefits will have your share as well!”

“What are you saying, Big Brother Tianzong.” Hong Dali beamed with delight. “I’ll go in and take a look!”

Hence, he got ready to enter.

“Mister,” The door guard said, “Five Galaxy Dollars per entry. Please pay up.”

“Oh, sure.” Hong Dali paid up, then the guard reminded him sarcastically. “Respected Sir, are you sure you don’t need any weapons?”

“I’ll enjoy the scenery inside.” Hong Dali grinned.

The guard answered gloomily, “Alright, then. Good luck to you...”

Soon, Hong Dali was in the Tower of Trials.

As usual, Angel Avril first introduced the rules, then asked, “Respected Mister, do you wish to announce your identity?”

“Ah, no thank you.” Hong Dali didn’t care much. “Anyway, I’m just playing around. Let’s begin.”

“Alright. The trials will begin shortly. Good luck.”

One minute later.

“Ahahahaha! These dogs are so cute!” Hong Dali laughed as he patted the heads of the Cold Crystal Dogs. “Come, have fun with me!”

One hundred Cold Crystal Dogs instantly bared their teeth...

The sight was powerful and terrifying.

“Not bad, not bad.” Hong Dali appeared satisfied. “Good boy! En, oh yes, I have to go to the next level. Let me have the key?”

One of the Cold Crystal Dogs came forward. On its neck was a shiny gold key!

“En, good boy.” Hong Dali kissed the dog on its head. “You are all good boys!”

“Woof Woof!” One hundred Cold Crystal Dogs wagged their tails in unity...

...

Level Two.

“Ahahaha! You run so fast!” Hong Dali rode on a zebra, feeling carefree on the grassland—this person brought a hundred Wind Spirit Zebras running wild in the Tower of Trials, laughing. “Beautiful grassland, the breeze, and the sweet-smelling flowers~~”

When he had enough fun, Hong Dali patted on the zebra’s head, satisfied. “Alright, I’ve had enough fun. Give me the key!”

“Neighhhh~”

...

Level three, level four, level five...

Hong Dali sped through at rocket-speed. If others had to grit their teeth and struggle through the levels, then Hong Dali could be said to have played through them...

...

Outside the Tower of Trials.

The Honorary Aristocrats on Yin Tianzong’s looked at the name list that appeared on top of the Tower of Trials and discussed softly among themselves—

“Quick, look. Someone had passed level seventeen. Awesome!”

“Yes, it seems this person will be selected to be groomed in the future? Too bad we’re not the combat type. If not we could take a look inside. Aye.”

“There is nothing wrong with it, every profession has its specializations. If you ask those who pass levels in the tower to earn money, they might not be better than us.”

“Hahaha, that’s true. Aye, that Hong Dali, do you think he’s good at earning money?”

“Earning money? Hehe. I received the latest news. Hong Dali just squandered twenty million Galaxy Dollars at Star Harbor. He bought a bunch of useless rubbish and shops, those that don’t make money no matter what. It seemed he shouted a slogan that said it was for squandering. How can a person like that earn money?’

“Seriously? Doesn’t that mean he really became a Double Honorary Aristocrat solely by string-pulling?”

“How else would he have become one? Didn’t you see how close he was with the Lord? He must have some good luck. Aye, heaven has no eyes!”

“Yes, forget it. Let’s continue to watch a good show!”

...

On the other side, the Jiang Family area where Jiang Qianxue was at.

When Honorary Aristocrats of different levels got tired from attempting the levels, they returned, took a seat and discussed the latest news.

A red-level Honorary Aristocrat whispered, “Aye, the Hong Dali that killed Feiyun, I heard he is a Double Honorary Aristocrat now. How many levels do you think he can pass?”

An orange-level Honorary Aristocrat turned around and smiled. “Who knows? Since he is capable of killing Feiyun, he should be quite powerful. Sixteen levels should be no problem.

Another red-level Honorary Aristocrat asked, “Brother Aoran, how many levels did you pass?”

“Me?” The orange-level Honorary Aristocrat named Aoran proudly replied, “Eighteen at the moment. I shall stop for a while. I need to think of how to get rid of those things. It should be soon. Within three days, I should be able to pass level nineteen.”

“Wow!” Two red-level Honorary Aristocrats looked at him with envy. “To be able to pass level nineteen, you must be a super genius! In the entire Shenluo City, only four people have passed level nineteen. And they were probably Honorary Aristocrats that were green-level and above. Brother Aoran, if you manage to pass level nineteen, there should be no problem for you to become a yellow-level Honorary Aristocrat in this year’s assessment!”

“Haha, so-so.” Aoran’s face was radiant, but he said humbly, “The Galaxy is so big, there are experts everywhere. I still need to work harder, harder!”

As they talked, escort guards suddenly stood beside the teleport point. Seeing such a scene, Aoran and the others quickly stood up and walked over.

Soon, Jiang Qianxue slowly appeared at the teleport point. She sighed slightly.

“Miss Qianxue,” The guards quickly welcomed her and asked. “Old Master is asking how many levels Miss Qianxue has passed. Miss Qianxue...”

“Level eighteen.” Jiang Qianxue sat down. Her cold eyes staring at the Tower of Trials, she said calmly, “I can’t continue at the moment. I need to train for a while.”

“Okay.” Receiving the news, the guards hurriedly returned.

“This Tower of Trials is quite tough, indeed.” Jiang Qianxue closed her eyes briefly and thought of the battle in the tower. She then shook her head. “What kind of talent will be able to pass all first twenty levels...”

Thinking up to this point, Hong Dali’s cheeky face came to her mind. Jiang Qianxue said angrily, “This prodigal. I thought he was not bad when I saw him at the dojo. Who knew he was such a squanderer! He spent twenty million Galaxy Dollars in just one afternoon. Even Galaxy Aristocrats don’t spend money like him. Nobody beside him said anything either.”

Jiang Qianxue stayed angry for a while, then suddenly looked at the Tower of Trials. She mumbled to herself, “I wonder how many levels this prodigal will be able to pass. Sixteen? Eighteen? Twenty? He seemed like an Energy User, he should be quite capable...”
