It took Austin about an hour to successfully refine the three puppets which were made of golden crystal.
After refining them, he got to know more about the puppets.
Each of the three puppets had the power equal to a cultivator who was at the medium stage of Minor-perfection Realm.
It delighted him more that even masters who were at the premium stage of Minor-perfection Realm couldn't destroy them, because
they were made of golden crystal, one of the hardest materials in the world.
It meant that Austin didn't need to run away even if his opponents were masters of the Minor-perfection Realm.
"I did manage to have a great harvest in this tower," Austin murmured with a big smile.
He got up and put aside the three puppets.
"Well, now it's tto explore the eighth floor," he said excitedly.
Clearly he was in a good mood.
'If I can pass the test on the eighth floor, the rewards | get will be more valuable than | got on this floor, ' he thought delightfully.
After Austin transported himself out of his City model, he started to look for the teleportation passage which would enable him to
get to the eighth floor.
Moments later, he was able to find the teleportation passage.
The instant he stepped in it, a strong teleportation power enveloped him.
In a split second, he felt that his feet were touching the ground.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a battle ring.
'Wait! What is this?
Is my task on this floor to fight my opponent in a battle ring?"
Austin wondered as he studied his surroundings cautiously.
"Young man, you're the first one to be able to reach this floor in the last few hundred thousand years."
As the voice boomed in the air, a middle-aged man cinto view out of thin air and stood opposite Austin. He placed his hands
behind his back.
Austin observed him discreetly. Devoid of any expressions, the middle-aged man was dressed in white clothes and had a high
stature.
Austin couldn't tell if he was a friend or an enemy for he showed no emotions on his face.
Without uttering a word, the man in white sized Austin up with his sharp eyes.
Austin was uncomfortable by the gaze. He felt like the man was prying into his heart.
'This man is incredibly strong.
| can't even see through him and analyze his real cultivation base!" Austin exclaimed. He was rattled.
At the stime, he was in shock. 'l didn't expect to meet any human on this floor.
According to his words, it seems he has stayed on this floor for at least a few hundred thousand years.

Oh god! The man in front ofis an old monster who is several hundred thousand years old." Austin was baffled as reality struck
him.
"I see. You do have many trump cards.
No wonder you were able to make it here,"
the middle-aged man said after studying Austin for a while.
"May | know your name, sir?"
Austin asked gingerly.
"lI am Brady Lv. Perhaps you will get to know my identity later.
Now, | will tell you about your task on this floor.
You're going to fight your opponent in this battle ring.
And, young man, | am your opponent.
If | recognize your battle force, you will get rewarded,"
Brady Lv explained.
"What? You mean...
I'm going to fight against you?"
Austin exclaimed as his eyes grew wide in surprise.
He knew that he was no match for Brady Lv.
"You heard me!
But don't worry. | will be controlling my strength. I'll not hurt you badly.
If you can withstand two of my attacks, you will pass the test,"
Brady Lv elaborated further.
"Really?"
Austin cheered up instantly.
‘Perhaps | can pass the test. | just need to withstand two attacks by him. That should be easy, ' he thought.
"Now that | know what's the task, | accept it.
I'm ready, sir,"
Austin said respectfully after he calmed down his nerves.
"That's great to hear. Young people ought to be brave!"
Brady Lv responded, his voice full of admiration.
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed his finger at Austin.
A huge finger began to materialize above Austin's head.
It looked like it was made of jade. With a crystal luster, it had a clear shine on its surface.
The giant finger crushing at Austin's head.
Suddenly Austin felt like the law power froze the space where he stood.
It seemed like the whole space around him was at the mercy of the finger.
All the vital energy in the air was being sucked by the jade finger.
Austin couldn't do a thing, not even lift a finger.
"Boy, he is employing the law power.
It is amazing that he has obtained the law power.
Indeed he is a formidable opponent.
Though he isn't using his full strength, his attack is incredibly powerful."
The FlEmperor's voice echoed throughout Austin's Soul Sea. His tone showed that he was quite scared of Brady Lv.
'So, this is the law power?"
Austin thought.
He remained in the state of shocked for a moment or two. Soon, he regained his composure.
He exerted all his control and summoned the three golden balls.
Slowly, the balls emerged from his body.
The golden balls were floating behind Austin, giving off dazzling light and heat.
In a split second, they rushed towards the jade finger.
Surprisingly, the three golden balls managed to stop the jade finger from attacking Austin.
"The formula you displayed is amazingly powerful.
But your vital energy realm is too low, so you can't employ it to full capacity.
You withstood my first blow. That's good!"
Brady Lv said as he looked at Austin with appreciation.
In an instant, the jade finger above Austin's head vanished.
On seeing the jade finger leave, Austin heaved a sigh of relief.
"Be ready to take my second blow!"
Brady Lv reminded flatly with his hands behind his back.
With an earsplitting roar, a purple beast dashed out of his Soul Sea.

It growled ferociously while it was charging at Austin.
'He is deploying a spiritual sense attack!
It is amazing, he can transform his spiritual sense into a beast and use it to attack people, ' Austin thought, as he stared at the
approaching beast.
It was the first tthat he had seen anyone use a spiritual sense martial skill so cleverly.
Being on high alert, Austin released the Spiritual Pot.
The pot dashed towards that purple beast.
In a flash, the Spiritual Pot reached the purple beast and fought it off.
"I didn't expect that you would master such a powerful spiritual sense skill. I'm impressed. So, you were able to ward off my second
blow too,"
Brady Lv remarked as he appreciated Austin for his power and skills.
"Your vital energy is strong. | bet you can defeat most of the cultivators who are at your level.
Surprisingly, your spiritual sense is far more powerful than your vital energy strength.
| guess you can match a cultivator who is at the premium stage of Divine Bridge Realm,"
he continued as he analyzed Austin's strength.
"Now, | announce that you've passed the test.
You will be rewarded with one hundred thousand spiritual crystals!"
As he uttered those words, Brady Lv waved his sleeve. One hundred thousand spiritual crystals dropped in front of Austin.
Austin was overjoyed to see them lying before him. He collected all the spiritual crystals immediately.
"lI am going to send you off to the ninth floor.
Once you are there, your powers need to be recognized by my master.
If that happens, you will becmy new master,"
Brady Lv said.
Austin was taken by surprise. He wondered what was going to be on the ninth floor.
'He even has a master?*
"My master will explain everything to you when you are on the ninth floor,"
Brady Lv said as if he was able to read Austin's mind.
As he waved his hand, a teleportation force enveloped Austin.
The next moment, Austin looked around and found himself in a secret room.
An elder, dressed in grey, was sitting cross-legged in the center of the room.
"Hmm! I've been waiting here for a few hundred thousand years. Now | finally got a visitor," the elder said, as he opened his eyes.
He sounded slightly excited. On the other hand, Austin's curiosity increased manifolds as he was intrigued by the elder and the
words of Brady Lv.
