Tower Ascension Part 3

After Mei Ling's ascent, the remaining students eagerly awaited their turn to enter the tower. The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows across the admission hall. Amongst the remaining three students were Shen and Li Xuehua, the youngest of the group. Mei Ling, filled with anticipation, stayed behind to offer her unwavering support to her friends.

As the hours passed, many students had already completed their ascensions, their levels ranging from beginner to intermediate. Mei Ling's remarkable performance, reaching the 25th floor, had set a high standard for the others to aspire to. However, most students had only managed to reach the first five floors, signifying their beginner status.

The next student to step forward was a young boy, just six years old. With a mixture of excitement and nervousness, he entered the tower, determined to prove himself. However, the challenges within proved to be overwhelming, and after reaching the third floor, his strength faltered. Master Ting, ever watchful, brought him back with care, ensuring his well-being with Master Zhou's healing abilities.

Disheartened, the young boy left the admission hall, disappointment etched on his face. The weight of the tower's trials had taken its toll, but he had shown great courage in his attempt. His departure served as a reminder of the tower's unforgiving nature, even for the youngest and most determined.

Now, it was Shen's turn. His small figure stood before the entrance to the tower, his eyes shining with a mix of excitement and apprehension. Li Xuehua stood by his side, her presence providing a comforting reassurance. They shared a silent understanding, knowing that their journey through the tower would test their mettle and determination.

With a deep breath, Shen stepped forward, crossing the threshold into the tower's mystical realm. The green light enveloped him, guiding his path through the treacherous floors. He encountered a variety of fierce and formidable monsters, each more challenging than the last.

Driven by a resolute spirit, Shen unleashed his martial arts skills with unwavering determination. He fought with agility and grace, harnessing the training and knowledge he had acquired. Despite his young age, Shen exhibited remarkable skill and adaptability, impressing both Master Ting and the onlookers.

Floor after floor, Shen pressed forward, his resolve unyielding. With each conquered obstacle, the green light ascended, reflecting his progress and fortitude. The other students watched in awe and admiration as Shen surpassed their expectations, his determination shining brightly.

Finally, as Shen reached the 20th floor, the green light reached its pinnacle. He emerged from the tower, his face beaming with triumph and a newfound sense of accomplishment. The cheers and applause from his fellow students filled the air, celebrating his remarkable achievement.

Master Zhou approached Shen, a proud smile gracing his face. "Congratulations, Shen. Your unwavering spirit and exceptional performance have earned you a place in the master class," he announced, his voice carrying a note of admiration.

Shen's eyes sparkled with joy and pride as he reunited with Li Xuehua and Mei Ling. They enveloped him in a warm embrace.

As the sun set, casting a golden hue over the admission hall, they reveled in their accomplishments, eagerly awaiting the final ascension of their dear friend, Li Xuehua.
