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 time to 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 I get will be more valuable than I 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 came into 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.
I can't even see through him and analyze his real cultivation base!' Austin exclaimed. He was rattled.
At the same time, he was in shock. 'I 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 of me is 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 I know your name, sir?"
Austin asked gingerly.
"I am Brady Lv. Perhaps you will get to know my identity later.
Now, I will tell you about your task on this floor.
You're going to fight your opponent in this battle ring.
And, young man, I am your opponent.
If I 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. I 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 I can pass the test. I just need to withstand two attacks by him. That should be easy, ' he thought.
"Now that I know what's the task, I 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.
