Climbing the Tower to Be a God With 10x Gacha System

'I'm proud of you...my only student,' Chao suddenly said, and those words put an end to everything. Chao was afraid not because he could not defeat the monster or person he would face; yes, he might be defeated, but that did not mean that he would definitely be defeated.

The reason for the fear on the Holy Gryphon's face was that the possibility of losing his only pupil was now in the air.

Nevertheless, James had chosen to send members of his army to the imperial capital just in case, which was a good thing. There weren't many climbers in the area, after all.

This was due to the enormous amount of poison emanating from Bai Fang's body.

The only reason Ariel was able to stand, like both Chao and James, was because she had trained herself to be immune to certain types of poison.

"I apologise...master. I couldn't protect them all...they're inside the city, forgive me," said Bai Fang, and even though he seemed to have recovered a little, the resentment was still evident on his face.

"You did very well, I'm proud of you, I'm sorry I couldn't help you here, at least...at least I'll protect your children, I swear," replied Chao.

It was obvious that these scenes were upsetting every god and goddess watching them, even Ariel couldn't help but feel saddened by Chao's stance, the only one who wasn't was James himself.

"Aaaah...You all realise that I can help him, right?" said James suddenly, and hearing those words, Chao and Bai Fang suddenly turned to James.

"How?" questioned Ariel, who was standing to the right.

"You do realise that I'm one of the 11 Poison Masters in the tower, right? It's my job to extract poison from other people and things," James replied.

Chao suddenly approached James and grabbed him tightly by the shoulders, "Can you help him? Can you save him?" he asked.

Chao's face had officially turned into an expression of worry and fear. This holy Gryphon's expression seemed to show hope.

"Yeah, sure. I got him." James replied, and then he started to approach Bai Fang. It occurred to him that he didn't know what to do, after all, he needed at least one wound to absorb the poison, and the wound he had inflicted with his powerful attack had already disappeared.

While he was connected to these thoughts, a message window suddenly appeared in front of him:

[To assimilate the poison, bring forth your poison element. Before you do so, warn the young lady Ariel and the old, grumpy Chao that the poison in your body can paralyse even some gods, and they will die].

This message came from Noah, the man who had taught James almost everything he knew about poison.

James, on the other hand, was confused with the happiness of being able to learn an answer without asking his question, and then he asked, "How far should they go?"

[At least two or three hundred metres].

When the answer to his question came back, James smiled turned around and said, "Exactly four hundred metres away from me." He figured it couldn't hurt to be careful, so he said four hundred metres.

"Let's go, old man," Ariel said as he turned to Chao, who was standing right next to him.

With that, Ariel quickly left the area, holding the bewildered Chao by the shoulder.

James stood right in front of Bai Fang at that moment and then said, "This is going to hurt you very, very much, just please...don't go towards the light."

The moment Bai Fang nodded, James closed his eyes and then focused neither on his magic rings nor on his aura itself. The only thing James focussed on was the elemental core that had taken root and become a vine.

Every moment he focused on the elemental core, an even greater poison elemental energy was being released outwards. Even if James wasn't aware of it, it was quite good to tell Ariel and Chao to move four hundred metres away.

The poison elemental energy he was releasing had already reached the three-hundred-metre threshold and was ready to pass.

James was able to see Bai Fang right in front of him with his eyes closed. He could see the high poison in the old duke's body and the dark and dangerous poison that had enveloped his qi core.

This meant that he could treat him now.

Once James had calmed himself down, he gently grabbed Bai Fang's head in front of him and then began to suck all the poison from the new poison source, Bai Fang's body, making all the poison he had spread around solid.

Bai Fang was trembling from the pain, which could be easily seen if anyone was around. It was quite a painful process after all. Even being poisoned was not as painful as getting the poison out, and James knew that very clearly.

Nevertheless, this situation would not last long. The reason for this was that although the poison in Bai Fang's body was at a very large level, there were only two types of poison in this body.

So in a sense, Bai Fang was only poisoned by two types of poison that would weaken his body and lock his qi.

James was busy absorbing all this poison into himself.

The poison elemental energy he was spreading around was getting stronger and stronger. Ariel and Chao felt the need to move even further back than the four hundred metres they had been because the energy James was emitting was becoming more and more visible.

James quickly began to absorb the poison from Bai Fang's body, and Bai's body, which had turned green from the poison, was slowly coming around.

This was good news, Bai Fang was such a powerful person that he was able to survive until now to prevent the poison from damaging his own body.

It was truly mesmerising. Bai Fang's might was dazzling.

James, who had been continuously charging the poison elemental energy into his body, slowly realised that both his aura and his magical energy were growing larger and larger.

After all, when the elemental nucleus sprouted and had a root, each elemental particle charged into the nucleus strengthened whatever power you had.

This meant that James was both saving a life and making himself insanely strong.

He could even realise that his aura was beginning to reach its limit. James could see that he was very close to reaching the next level of aura. Yet he was also aware of the huge doors that were closed. Those huge doors that were preventing his aura from developing further.

It was even possible to say that they were one of the biggest obstacles James had to overcome on his own.

It was a real pain in the arse.

After almost half an hour, James realised that he could no longer absorb any poison elemental energy, took a deep breath and opened his eyes.

He saw old Bai Fang on his knees, crying and smiling.

"Thank you, young man...I will never forget this favour, I swear on the heavens that if I do not repay you, I will be punished in the darkest depths of the underworld." Bai Fang suddenly said. It was nothing less than an honourable oath befitting an honourable warrior.

"No problem my dude, no worries," replied James abruptly, he didn't care, after all, he had gained something from the incident himself.

However, the poison elemental energy he had emitted had completely disappeared and in less than a minute Ariel and Chao were back on the scene.

When James looked at the duo, he smiled and said, "I got it."

At James' words, Chao suddenly walked past him and hugged Bai Fang, saying, "Well done... I'm proud of you." and let out a deep breath.

"We still have ancient monsters to kill, we need to move, old man," said Ariel with a strange expression, briefly instructing Chao to attack.

Chao had already made up his mind to do so, the anger on the old holy Gryphon's face was not to be despised, indeed, he was straining himself so hard that even the muscles on his face were extremely prominent.

In short, it was harvest time, and the four men who were to do the harvesting were now standing at the entrance to the city.

With that dark and angry look, Chao suddenly stopped hugging Bai Fang and then stood up and said, "Follow me this time."

James and Ariel trembled inwardly, the adrenaline in their bodies going crazy, they were so excited that their expressions had a frightening smile on their faces.

With that, Bai Fang also stood up and then said, "I will go with you, I am no longer covered in poisons that affect neither my qi nor my body."

The two strongest people in the entire empire and the entire world were going to work together, and behind them were two people who could enter the ranks of the greatest warriors below the 75th floor.

James and Ariel.

It was going to be a bloodbath...no, it was going to be a preview of hell.
