"I see… so it only took you a day to improve an Ancient-rank technique. Your wisdom and talent is very impressive. How about joining our Martial Tower? Let us usher martial techniques into a new era together!" said Lord Zi.
Yuan then said, "I can join the Martial Tower, but will I be allowed to visit the other Breakthrough Towers afterward?"
Lord Zi nodded, "Of course. While we are very competitive with each other, we all have similar goals and ambitions. We won't bar you from joining other towers just because you are associated with another tower."
"In that case, I'll join the Martial Tower."
"Hahaha! Great choice, my young friend! Follow me. I'll give you a tour around the place."
Yuan nodded and followed Lord Zi into the tower. Meanwhile, Apprentice Huan remained standing outside the Martial Tower with a perplexed expression on his face.
On one hand, he couldn't return to the Metal Tower without Yuan. On the other, he couldn't approach Yuan with Lord Zi beside him.
Lord Zi was not just a member of the Martial Tower. His status was akin to Liao Tian in the Metal Tower, with a significant amount of achievements under his belt.
Upon stepping onto the first floor of the Martial Tower, Yuan was greeted by a scene reminiscent of a bustling training ground. Numerous individuals were scattered throughout, diligently practicing martial techniques and honing their skills.
"The first ten floors of the tower are essentially the same," Lord Zi explained. "The Martial Tower isn't just about improving martial techniques—we also create and record them. Of course, we only have access to techniques that are entrusted to us. When we started, our resources were scarce, with barely any techniques to work with. But over time, as we proved ourselves by refining and enhancing techniques, more and more people began trusting us with their precious techniques."
At the end of the room was a teleportation formation that provided access to the upper floors. Since the first ten floors were essentially identical, they proceeded directly to the eleventh floor.
Unlike the bustling training ground on the first floor, the eleventh floor resembled a vast library. Shelves lined the walls, filled with scrolls and books, and many individuals were seated, deeply engrossed in studying martial techniques.
"The next ten floors are like this," Lord Zi said as they walked around the place. "We house martial techniques ranging from Mortal-rank to Celestial-rank. However, only a select few individuals are permitted to study techniques above Supreme-rank. All of the techniques on this floor are merely Mortal-rank.
"Everyone starts from Mortal-rank techniques. In order to study the next rank, they must increase their contribution, which can be gained through improving or creating martial techniques. For example, improving a Mortal-rank technique will gain one contribution point, while creating a Mortal-rank technique will grant ten points."

"Since you've already improved an Ancient-rank technique, you'll automatically be allowed to study martial techniques up to Ancient-rank techniques."
Next, they proceeded directly to the twenty-first floor. Unlike the previous floors, this one featured only a few rooms, each with a closed door.
Creating martial techniques was a challenging and intricate process. There were several approaches to it, with the most common being drawing inspiration from one's surroundings or observing others in combat. Some even derived martial techniques from nature—studying the movements of an insect walking, a bird flying, or the flow of water in a stream could spark the creation of a new technique. frёewebnoѵēl.com
