Dominating Evolution Of The Cosmos 277 News About Vivien

Everyone thought that it was over when Steve defeated Hayden. But, just then, Edward suddenly stood up, clapped his hands, then laughed and exclaimed, "Wonderful! Steve really surpa.s.sed my expectations this time!"
Hearing his words of praise, Steve looked over at Edward. This was his first time meeting Edward. However, Edward was a famous figure in the military base, so Steve knew who he was.
Not just Steve, but the entire audience was also looking at Edward. As he had appeared at this moment, they were all wondering if there could there be an unexpected ending that awaited them.
"It's Mr. Edward. I wonder what your Excellency is doing here?" Steve laughed and asked, "Are you seeking revenge for the Death Combat Unit?"
"I'm not related to the Death Combat Unit, so why would I stand up for them?" Edward asked calmly. "I'm just curious. You're so powerful, so why have you stayed on the eighth level of the Original Gravity Tower for so long?"
"It's my personal wish, and anyway, it doesn't concern you, does it?" Steve laughed again.
Edward shook his head and said, "It's none of my business. I just want to know what level you can reach. How strong are you?"
Steve's face suddenly became grim. The fight with Hayden just now had really drained him. If he had to fight with Edward at this time, he would have no chance of winning.
Even if he was at his peak, he still might not be a match for Edward. After all, when he fought against Hayden, he was only slightly stronger than Hayden.
As Edward was one of the top three geniuses among the original-level soldiers of the military base, he was far more powerful than Hayden. So, even if Steve was to go all out now, he most likely wouldn't be able to defeat Edward.
Edward saw Steve's hesitation, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have no intention of fighting you. After all, I don't want others to say that I bully the weak."
"What do you want, then?" Steve curbed his hostility, but remained alert, as he still did not know Edward's intentions.
"I have already stated my intentions. I just want to see how much strength you have, as well as to see which level of the Original Gravity Tower you can reach," Edward said calmly. "I know you don't like being forced into anything, but..."
Suddenly, with a wave of his big hands, Edward shot out an invisible force. Upon seeing this, everyone's faces were full of confusion, as they could not sense anything.
However, Steve's face changed drastically. This was because he felt the Star of Hope beating. It was the same aura of the rulers of the past that was in Vivien!
The thought of Vivien's disappearing for so long caused Steve's face to suddenly turn gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice, "You have Vivien? What on earth do you want?"
"You can rest a.s.sured that Vivien is fine now." With a grasp of Edward's big hand, the mysterious aura of the rulers of the past disappeared. "Now, can you show all of your strength?"

Steve took a deep breath. Although he didn't know exactly what Edward wanted, in consideration of Vivien's safety, he decided to do what Edward said.
"I need to rest for two hours. After that, I will challenge the Original Gravity Tower and show you my real strength," Steve said calmly.
Edward shook his head and said, "That's not enough. If you want to see Vivien, you'll have to go through the 21 levels of the Original Gravity Tower."
Several sudden cries of alarm rang out in an instant, as the audience was shocked to hear this demand! In order to pa.s.s through the 21st level of the Original Gravity Tower, one's basic cell value had to reach 500 points!
Even though Steve had defeated Hayden, everyone could see that his strength was still a long way from being at 500 points of basic cell value! As such, it would be impossible for Steve to get through to the 21st level!
Steve asked for confirmation, "As long as I pa.s.s the 21st level of the Original Gravity Tower, you'll let me see Vivien?"
"I can a.s.sure you that, as long as you pa.s.s through the 21st level of the Original Gravity Tower, I'll let you see her," Edward nodded and confirmed.
"Alright!" Steve agreed. For Vivien's safety, he had to agree to Edward's terms.
Eliot's face changed as he asked Edward, "Aren't you overdoing it? No matter how talented he is, he can't reach the 21st level. Also, you should know that all of the original-level techniques that enhance the basic cell value's strength will fail after the 21st level."
Original-level techniques could be used to enhance the strengths of basic cell values, and challenge the levels that are higher than one's basic cell value before the 22nd level. But, as soon as one steps into the 22nd level, all of the original-level techniques that enhance the strengths of one's basic cell values would fail. At that time, one could then only rely on the real strength of his own basic cell values to challenge the levels. That is to say, from the 22nd level onward, all original-level techniques, such as Blood-Burning Manic Change, would fail.
"He's advancing too smoothly, so he needs to experience some setbacks to calm him down," Edward said calmly. "Moreover, he relies too much on his original-level techniques to strengthen his basic cell value, which is not conducive to his future development."
Edward could see that Steve had a very powerful set of original-level techniques that could enhance the strength of his basic cell values. It was precisely because of this mysterious force skill set that Steve was able to go beyond his rank and defeat so many powerful people. This was also why Steve needed more practice in order to be able to settle down.
"If he can't even do that, then he's not qualified to be with Her Highness," Edward said calmly.
...
After the two-hour break, Steve's strength had recovered. He was also no longer sleepy.
As Steve held a bottle of serum in his hand, he said, "I can only rely on this if I want to get through the 21st level."
Even Steve didn't know if the bottle of serum would be useful, but he had to take the gamble. At that moment, Steve entered into the eighth level of the Original Gravity Tower.
As he stepped onto the transmission channel, he felt calm. After all, the test on the eighth level was a piece of cake for him now.
So, Steve pa.s.sed the eighth level and entered the ninth level effortlessly. Following that, he pa.s.sed the 9th, 10th, and 11th levels in record speed.
With Steve's constant challenging, his ranking was also constantly rising. This incredible speed of improvement caused people to feel shocked, even though some of them had expected it.
It wasn't until the 18th level that Steve's speed slowed. This was because Steve had suddenly arrived at a big white glacier.
The electronic voice was then heard. "For the 19th level mission, please kill 10 Ice Wolves, 100 Ice Sand Bulls, and 200 Cold Steel Snow Leopards. You have 30 minutes. Good luck to you!"
As Steve gritted his teeth, his gaze was as sharp as a blade. The basic cell values of the Ice Wolves could reach 480 points, while the Ice Sand Bulls could reach 460 points and the Cold Steel Snow Leopards could reach 450 points.
When faced with such an intimidating group of magical beasts, it would not be easy for Steve to kill them within 30 minutes.
