Chapter 216 Who exactly is in the Trial Tower?!
Once the strategy guide for the seventh level of Jiang He was released, most of the sword cultivators rushed to the Trial Tower.
Perhaps because of their shared poverty, sword cultivators have a strong sense of identity and a common language.
Whenever the academy competition begins, the sword cultivators of Wanjue Academy feel a sense of mutual respect and camaraderie.
Jiang He's post had been up for many days, and the sword cultivators who needed to know it already knew, while those who shouldn't have learned about it also learned about it through word of mouth.
So the group of sword cultivators didn't dawdle any longer and rushed into the trial tower in huge numbers.
With only seven days left until the Academy Grand Competition, it's safe to say that any sword cultivator who hasn't yet cleared the seventh level will likely not be able to do so by the time the competition arrives.
Jiang He's strategy post came at just the right time. With only seven days left and the qualification spots for the Academy Competition hanging in the air, the group of sword cultivators started grinding the tower like madmen.
With a large number of sword cultivators leaving the internet, the fact that there were far fewer sword cultivators on the campus forums naturally did not escape the notice of other majors.
Especially since the group of cultivators who used to clamor for fights on the campus forum every day are gone, it's easy to notice.
[Challenge Post 100.01 Update]
[53L: I'm so bored these days. By the way, where have all the sword cultivators gone? I remember a certain sword cultivator from the second-year sword cultivation class 2 still owes me spirit stones. Why is the sword cultivation academy so quiet these past two days? I haven't even run into many sword-wielding cultivators on the road.]
54L: Oh my god, I'm busy doing odd jobs. Apparently, they're going to build the Danxiu Academy here, and I'm just carrying bricks.
55L: Hahaha, I knew right away the person upstairs was a mechanical engineering major. A lot of you guys end up working in civil engineering.
102L: Don't get sidetracked, don't get sidetracked, so where did the sword cultivators go? These guys who were always clamoring for a fight have suddenly disappeared. I'm actually a little uneasy about it.
103L: You'll understand when you're forcibly dragged into the ring someday. All they care about is sword practice, duels, and sword repair.
104L (I want to fight ten sword cultivators): Hey, stop chatting, something's seriously wrong! Let's check the Trial Tower rankings. I remember the Trial Tower information update was a bit laggy a few days ago, but it's back to normal today. I bet you'll be shocked when you see the rankings.
114L: What?! I'm on the forum every day, what news have I missed this time?
124L (I want to fight ten sword cultivators): Go see for yourself and you'll see. If I hadn't just refreshed the leaderboard, I wouldn't have known that sword cultivators were so aggressive. It's unbelievable. So only we Hehuan players are willing to spend money on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app).
125L: Damn! Those sneaky sword cultivators are secretly ranking up without telling us! I just came back from checking the leaderboards, and in just one day, the number of our academy's sword cultivators on each floor of the Sword Tower leaderboard has increased dramatically. Many more people have also cleared the sixth floor, and more importantly, I just checked and five more people have already cleared the seventh floor!
127L: ? ? ? What?! Really?!
131L: Absolutely true. I just came back from checking, and there are indeed quite a few more sword cultivators on the Sword Tower leaderboard. I have mixed feelings now. No wonder they're not online anymore; they've all been spending time in the Trial Tower.
132L: Seriously, are there any sword cultivators in our academy this efficient? And isn't this speed terrifying? In just one day, the number of people who have passed the first level has increased by several hundred.
133L: That's amazing! Those sword cultivators are always fighting, I thought they were all brawn and no brains. But they're really united, secretly keeping their infighting a secret from us for so long.
140L: Ah, that's not quite right. I remember the seventh floor is usually very difficult. The sword cultivator's tower is like a dungeon, and it would probably take at least two days to clear this one. Plus, many people get stuck on the fifth floor. The seventh floor is even harder. Their sword tower, like our magic tower, requires a team.
142L: My heart is broken. I used to jokingly say that sword cultivators are brainless, but I never expected that they would secretly rank up, and do it effectively.
143L: I remember Jiang He is also a sword cultivator. I just checked, and wow, she cleared the seventh level three days ago and unlocked all sorts of rare titles. Are all the sword cultivators in our academy this strong now?
144L: I don't know if he's strong or not, but I do know that my roommate, who majors in sword cultivation, was complaining the other day that he wasn't smart enough and couldn't even get past the fifth level despite having great strength. Now I see, haha, this guy has already passed the seventh level. I feel like that clown.
189L: Don't call you the clown, I think we've all become clowns. The sword cultivation profession has been hiding its true strength for a long time, never showing its face, but suddenly making such a big splash right before the academy competition.
190L: I can't handle this, I just came back from the Healing Tower and I still can't beat it.

When students from various majors at Wanjue Academy discovered that the Sword Tower cultivators had secretly cleared the game, their competitive spirit and curiosity immediately kicked in.
They all went to sword cultivators they knew to ask about the specifics.
Some people have turned into Sherlock Holmes, digging up all sorts of little details online, such as the high-frequency words posted by sword cultivators in recent days.
The cultivators of Wanjue Academy may not be as strong as those of other academies, but their reconnaissance abilities are considered superb.
Yi Mo, a sophomore majoring in law, discovered many clues. She analyzed the data and inserted a program to capture keywords, which led her to discover the real reason for the infighting among sword cultivators.
[200L (The Unlucky Guy Who Chose the Wrong Major): I just installed a keyword-catching plugin, and now I think I know why sword cultivators clear the game so quickly. I'm going to the Trial Tower soon, and I'll be back in ten minutes.]
217L: ! Isn't it because they suddenly became diligent and hardworking? What other reason could there be?
218L: The comment above is superficial. Those sword cultivators are diligent every single day. Our academy's most diligent cultivators are the sword and body cultivators. Before these past two days, they were indeed diligent, but their success rate in clearing the higher levels of the Trial Tower wasn't that high.
219L: So there really is a reason? Hey poor guy on the 200th floor, don't run away so fast! Finish your sentence first, then run! Saying something half-finished is like taking half a dump – one part inside the intestines, the other outside – it's so uncomfortable!
223L: Ugh... It's really uncomfortable, but please don't use such disgusting adjectives next time. It paints a vivid picture. Ugh...
242L: Damn, I think I know too. I just asked the sword cultivators. I used to practice swordsmanship when I was a kid. I'll go to the Trial Tower too, and I'll let you guys know when I get the results.
255L: Hey, hey, hey, why did you all run away? Who's in the Trial Tower?!
