Chapter 217 Is it too late to switch to sword cultivation now?
Yi Mo originally wanted to major in sword cultivation, but by a twist of fate, she ended up majoring in magic cultivation.
Yi Mo had long since given up on discussing the bizarre mechanics of magic.
It's securely stuck on the fifth floor, which is very reassuring.
But Yi Mo didn't want to be stuck indefinitely. With the registration deadline for the Academy Competition fast approaching, she didn't even consider entering the Sword Tower. Instead, she was determined to conquer the Magic Tower.
Until she discovered the reason for the mass disappearance of the sword-wielding students at the academy.
According to data analysis, in recent days, about half of the sword cultivators have been posting articles with keywords such as "strategy guide", "seventh floor strategy", and "sword tower speedrun".
Although Yi Mo didn't know what it meant, she was patient enough to trace the source of these keywords collected from the forum.
This is from the post titled "[Sword Tower Level 1 to 7 Speedrun Guide - with Environment and Terrain Map]" in the "[Sword Tower Level 1 to 7 Speedrun Guide]" forum.
Having dug this far, Yi Mo naturally read through all the posts.
After reading the strategy guide, Yi Mo had mixed feelings. She really didn't expect that there would be such a person among the sword cultivators who always talked about fighting and killing.
Jiang He's strategy post is full of useful tips and tricks, not a single word is superfluous.
Having studied swordsmanship since childhood, Yi Mo naturally understood it.
This isn't just a swordsman, this is practically a strategist!
After reading the strategy guide and the various testimonials from sword cultivators in the comments, Yi Mo exclaimed, "Awesome!"
In a moment of impulsiveness, Yi Mo picked up his spirit sword again and charged into the sword tower.
Like Yi Mo, Nalan Lin, a Hehuan professional, discovered the strategy guide by asking a sword cultivator in her friend circle.
Knowing about the strategy guide, Nalan Lin immediately abandoned his love life and turned into a sword cultivator.
After all, so many sword cultivators had successfully completed the game quickly by following the strategy guides, which made him extremely envious.
Many other cultivators from other majors joined the team group created by Jiang He without really understanding what was going on. At first, they didn't realize it because they were invited by friends and thought it was some kind of group buying group that the group owner used to sell goods.
They were lurking on the forum when they belatedly discovered the strategy post for sword cultivators, so they all rushed to the Trial Tower.
Yi Mo, who quickly went to the Trial Tower and cleared the fourth floor, immediately switched to the campus network.
Yi Mo had a foundation in sword cultivation, but he chose the wrong major and ended up in magic cultivation. He also tried to learn some of the professional courses for sword cultivation through resources, but he was still not as strong as a sword cultivator who had completed the orthodox professional courses.
Fortunately, Yi Mo's strength was quite good. Despite the Sword Tower's forbidden magic, Yi Mo managed to clear the fourth floor while referring to strategy guides.
It wasn't until after defeating the fourth floor that Yi Mo realized how incredible the strategy guide was.
She knew her own swordsmanship level; it was only mediocre.
However, she completed it in just two hours!
I've cleared all four levels!
While Yi Mo's pupils were in shock, he quickly took screenshots of the strategy post eight hundred times and even recorded a video, just in case the poster deleted the post.
[Challenge Post 100.01 Update]
[386L (The Unlucky Guy Who Chose the Wrong Major): I'm back! If I hadn't experienced it firsthand, you wouldn't have known that these sword cultivators had something good but didn't show it off, hiding it from us for so long!
387L: ? ? ? What good stuff is this? Can you please just say it all at once? You didn't finish in chapter 216, and now it's chapter 217, can you please tell me? I'm so impatient!
399L: I'm really in a hurry, let me say it first, my final exam is coming up soon, I need to get to it quickly and then I'll log off.
400L (the unlucky guy who chose the wrong major): Here we go! I suggest you all join this group, it's very useful, it might just be our chance to participate in the university competition.
456L: ? What group is this, "Wanjue Academy Sword Cultivator Mutual Aid Group"? Isn't this a sword cultivator group? Why would we join?
493L: They haven't even explained why I joined this group yet. What does this group have to do with the Academy Competition? And what are the sword cultivators hiding...?
500L (the unlucky guy who chose the wrong major): Don't worry, don't worry, I only found out when I went to the Trial Tower. There's a pro in the Sword Mastery major who's done a complete guide to all seven levels of the Sword Tower, a speedrun version. I've studied swordsmanship before and know a few sword moves.
So I went to the Sword Tower and tried it out according to the strategy guide posted online, and I actually speed-cleared to the fourth floor.
501L: !! Wait, I recognize every single word here, but it's a bit hard to understand when put together. What did you just say?! I saw on your profile that you're a mage, so why are you going to the Sword Tower instead of the Spell Tower? And you even speed-cleared four floors?
513L: Good heavens! Are you even speaking human language? It sounds like you're showing off. Are you saying that you, a mage, can beat several levels of the Trial Tower for sword cultivators?
514L: No, aren't you guys missing the point? A cultivator who hasn't formally studied sword cultivation and only has a little basic swordsmanship cleared the Sword Tower using this so-called strategy guide. Shouldn't the focus be on this strategy guide?
And according to "Unlucky Guy," he speedrunned the game, which makes this strategy post even more amazing. So, where can I get the strategy guide? Actually, I even took a sword-fighting class in my college entrance exam (???).
517L (The Unlucky Guy Who Chose the Wrong Major): Hahaha, let me clarify first, what I said is absolutely true. The strategy guide is from the Sword Cultivation forum. I've copied the link here. Those who believe me can try it out: [Sword Tower Floors 1-7 Speedrun Strategy Guide - with Environment and Terrain Map]. I'm going to the Trial Tower now. Leave a message if you need anything.
After sending that message, Yi Mo logged off. She remembered to check the walkthrough; if she couldn't get past the Spell Tower, she could surely get past the Sword Tower.
She remembered that many sword cultivators had passed the sixth floor of the Sword Tower overnight. As a prospective sword cultivator who planned to switch majors, she was also considered a half-sword cultivator. She had also read the strategy guides. As long as she remembered the tips for passing the level, Yi Mo's six senses told her that she must give it a try.
So she resolutely entered the Sword Tower.
Yi Mo made up her mind that if she really passed the sixth level, she would immediately kneel down in the group and kowtow to the poster.
After Yi Mo left, a group of cultivators from other disciplines were left watching each other on the forum.
[526L: Is what this unlucky guy said credible? I feel like it sounds a bit fake. Trying to cross over into a different major... um, I feel like it's a bit unreliable.]
528L: I don't know if it's reliable or not, but based on what I've seen after clicking the link and reading the post, I feel the guide is very reliable. The terminology in the guide is very professional, so it's possible it was indeed created by a top expert in the sword-cultivation field.
529L: Really? I'll go check it out.
532L: You might not know this, but I just asked some classmates I know in the sword cultivation major. The strategy post is real. They cleared a long level using the strategy written by "AAA Tomato Wholesaler Ge Ge".
546L: !!! No way! When did such a powerful figure appear among the sword cultivators? There wasn't a single word about it!
557L: What a kind-hearted cultivator! They posted the real strategy guide online, and it's even a strategy guide for the Trial Tower!
587L (I want to fight ten sword cultivators): Let me put it this way, I also went to the Trial Tower. Our high school emphasizes learning a little bit of everything, and I also learned some knowledge of sword cultivation in high school. When I'm out of mana, I might occasionally use my spirit sword to finish off enemies. Like many unlucky people, I managed to pass the fourth floor after reading a guide.
608L: The fourth floor of the Sword Tower?
609L (I want to fight ten sword cultivators): Yes, you can check the new posts on the homepage for screenshots.
610L: Holy crap, it really is! This strategy guide is amazing! I finally know what good stuff the sword cultivators are hiding. Why don't they publicize this stuff?
611L: This is amazing! Ahhh, I really want to change my major. Is it too late for me to learn swordsmanship now?
