Volume 3: Star Tower Chapter 9: Tracing the Past (Part 2)
Among the four people from Yisu Academy, three have already entered the tower, leaving only Tang Zheng.
Among the four aristocratic academies of the Changyuan Leng family, the Yisu Academy is the weakest one. Even if someone notices them, most people only know that there is a Jiang Wuyan in the Yisu Academy this year.
Jiang Wuyan did not disappoint everyone and used the result of tracing back to the past that lit up the eight-story star tower, giving people who knew his name something to talk about.
However, who would have thought that the two girls who appeared from Yisuli Academy one after another would both light up the Nine-Layered Star Tower, which stunned the warriors from other academies and the onlookers in the capital.
"I don't know where this Tang Zheng came from. If there is another ninth-level person, the registration for Yisu Academy will be full next year."
"I did hear about one thing. It was said that the four new students admitted to Yisu Academy this year all came from the same place... At that time, some people even said that they had used some backdoor."
"Tsk, judging from the performance of the first three, even if they used a backdoor, the backdoor of Yisu Academy is worth opening!"
There was constant whispering among the crowd.
And Tang Zheng was standing in front of the Sushiwenxing Tower amidst such intense attention!
A beam of light instantly covered him from head to toe.
Tang Zheng felt his head buzzing, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling...
"The Tower of Tracing the Worlds... it's really a bit weird!" The first thing that came to Tang Zheng's mind was the white porcelain bowl he had in the orphanage. The words "Tang Zheng" written on the bottom of the bowl were still clearly visible.
The faucet was running with water, and he struggled to lie down by the sink with his small body, washing his own bowl.
Suddenly, the water flow became unstable. Tang Zheng's hand shook as the water suddenly increased, and the bowl in his hand fell into the pool...
If he had not been standing here in the Star-Seeking Tower, he would have long forgotten such trivial childhood events!
On the first floor of the Tower of Stars, starlight flickered for a moment. Just when everyone thought that the first floor would also be lit up, the starlight seemed to be ground into powder by something and turned into clouds of mist, completely covering the first floor of the Tower of Stars.
From the outside, the first floor of the Star-Seeking Tower has turned into chaos.
The old man with white beard was stunned for a moment and glanced at Tang Zheng.
The beam of light on Tang Zheng's body has not shrunk yet, which means that his process of tracing back to the past life has not yet ended.
The scene suddenly became unusually silent.
Tang Zheng in the beam of light had quietly closed his eyes...
The process of tracing back to the past was not as taxing on the body as he had imagined, nor did it cause strong fluctuations in star power. On the contrary, he felt as if he was in a warm bathtub, and his entire body was in an unprecedented state of relaxation.
From an orphan with nothing, he found his own way to survive step by step, practicing skills, doing dungeons, making guides, bringing in sponsors, and earning game coins... It only took him ten years to pay the down payment for a small house by himself, and he did a lot of things that children with parents couldn't do...
If one were to summarize his life experience before the time travel, it wouldn’t take thousands of words, just one word - difficult.
Growing up without the love of parents is really not easy both mentally and materially. However, Tang Zheng has long forgotten the word "difficult".
He made himself not remember those "difficult" experiences, so how could he feel it was difficult?
Even in the light of the Star-Tracing Tower, he relaxed completely and remembered those difficulties, but his mood was actually calm.
Anyway, the past is the past, and he is still as funny and cheerful as ever, with a group of good family and friends, so it can be considered as compensation.
The starlight of the Star Tower rose up faintly to the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors, but the starlight on each floor did not light up in the end. Instead, it became the same as the first floor, a chaos.
It is completely unclear what is inside the chaos.
Unknown, unclear, and unable to explore.
Instructor Zou was already stunned...
It would be fine if they couldn't find out Tang Zheng's life experience, but what does Tracing the World and Asking the Star Tower mean?
There is only chaos.
From the first floor to the seventh floor, it was all unclear chaos.
It has been thousands of years since the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower was built, but this is the first time that a situation like Tang Zheng's has occurred.
Whether the Star Tower is lit or not is impossible to see from outside!
Because, no matter whether it was lit or not, it was completely blocked by the chaos surrounding the star tower.
Tang Zheng himself did not notice that the Star Tower had already lit up to a certain level, nor did he notice that the Star Tower was surrounded by a layer of chaos. At this moment, the line of small words on his game console had already clearly emerged in his mind...
[One day, I will no longer run for money. At that time, I will let the whole world remember who I am! ——Tang Zheng. 】
That line of words wasn’t just engraved on the game cabin.
In fact, it has already been engraved in his heart!
Outside this Tower of Tracing the World and Asking the Stars, some people know Feng Yuan, some know Jiang Wuyan, and some know the "big shots" in the Seventh Rank Academy and the Jiuhua Academy. However, they don't seem to know Tang Zheng yet, right?
Tang Zheng smiled.
When he leaves the Star-Seeking Tower, he at least hopes that everyone in the territory of Changyuan Leng Family will know his name, Tang Zheng!
"Can you do it?" He asked himself, and within the beam of light, his question seemed to echo, repeating over and over again...
Outside the beam of light, everyone present craned their necks high.
This was because the chaos was spreading upwards layer by layer, and had already spread past the tenth layer!
More than half of the entire Sushiwenxing Tower has been shrouded in an unfathomable chaos. Only the last four floors and the huge night-shining pearl on the top of the tower can still be barely seen.
Tang Zheng felt very good about the Star-Questioning Tower. It was not like the cold examination room he had imagined. As his memories gradually approached the time travel, his body and mind became more and more relaxed...
Purple gold belt, Fengmen Village, the flower fields full of extravagance, Tian Meng...
Tangjiabao, Yinlan Villa, Xiaotang, Lan Shaoze...
Bullying Ah Zhi with Ghost Grandpa every day, meeting Lu Huang and competing in casting with Luo Fei...
Wulong Town is his starting point in this world and also where his "home" is.
Although there were crises and life-and-death battles there, what impressed him most was the lecture hall in Tangjiabao, where he spoke one fallacy after another and listened to the happy laughter of the children in Tangjiabao.
The time capsule buried underground was still waiting for him to go back and open it.
I wonder what kind of wishes the children of Tangjiabao wrote down when he opens the time capsule?
The chaos in the Star-Seeking Tower has spread to the twelfth floor.
Half a quarter of an hour had passed since Tang Zheng’s “tracing back to the past” time!
"What's going on with him?" The instructor at Jiuhua Academy frowned.
The instructors from the four academies all brought their students to the Sushiwenxing Tower every year, and they had seen the most abnormalities.
They have seen the first layer dark but the second layer bright, the third layer dark but the fourth layer bright, some have seen the first layers dark but a few layers bright at the end, and some have seen the first layers dark but the seventh layer suddenly bright...
However, they had never seen Tang Zheng in this situation before!
The white-bearded old man guarding the tower stretched out his hand and pushed the instructor of Jiuhua Academy, signaling him to be patient.
The experience in Wulong Town lingered in Tang Zheng’s mind for a long time before he arrived at Yisu Academy.
Since the entrance examination, Tang Zheng, who had scored full marks continuously, had almost everything going smoothly. However, just when he thought he could finally move forward step by step, he saw the resurrected Lan Shaoze.
Leng Xiangyuan's tomb, Li Xiaoren's death, the diary of the first generation star master...
His life was disrupted once again.
Although he had not been in Xingyao Continent for long, he suddenly discovered that there were still many things worth remembering!
As Tang Zheng recalled, he finally stopped at the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower. Everyone outside saw that the top two floors of the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower were also shrouded in chaos.
The fourteen-story Tower of Stars seemed to have disappeared. If it weren't for the huge night-shining pearl on the top that was still shining, some people would have screamed.
The beam of light that enveloped Tang Zheng gradually shrank...
"Is he finished?" Several instructors breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Although the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower is still shrouded in chaos, as long as Tang Zheng enters the tower, the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower should return to normal.
The light column composed of extremely faint colored streamers kept shrinking with Tang Zheng as the center. Only then did Tang Zheng feel that the surrounding star power became manic and unstable.
"To enter the tower, it seems that I don't need to move my feet?" Tang Zheng laughed as he stood in the middle. He raised his head and had some time to think about how high the top of the tower was. The fourteenth floor should still be in the troposphere.
Afterwards, he felt a burning sensation on his body and a slight headache. However, it was only for a brief moment, and the light that enveloped him shrank into a thin line...
At the same time, all the chaotic starlight that enveloped the Star-Seeking Tower disappeared.
The Sushiwenxing Tower appeared before everyone's eyes intact again.
only……
The only problem...
Every warrior before had entered the tower at the moment the light beam shrank into a thin line and the Su Shi Wen Xing Tower returned to normal. However, Tang Zheng had spent so much time and made such a big fuss, but at the moment when he should have entered the tower, he was still standing there in a daze.
The Sushiwenxing Tower did not let him in!
Tang Zheng had already closed his eyes and prepared to enter the tower, but when he opened his eyes, he was still standing in front of the Star Tower. His face fell, "Did I break the Star Tower?"
