C609 Eighth Layer
C609 Eighth Layer
When Lu Chen appeared on the second floor, he attracted the attention of many people. The layout of this place was very similar to the first floor, but there were more students from the academy.
Compared to the first floor, the pressure on the second floor seemed to have increased a little. Most of the students that cultivated here were senior students of the academy, and when Lu Chen scanned through them with his eyesight, he was surprised to find that almost all of them had reached the Sixth Seventh Layer, a Grandmaster of the Martial Dao.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chen did not stop and continued walking towards the stone stairs.
In just a short moment, Lu Chen had arrived at the third and fourth floor, and finally the fifth floor.
There were only a dozen or so figures scattered around the fifth floor. Although they did not investigate their cultivation level in detail, the aura they exuded was abnormally vigorous and strong.
"What a powerful aura."
"They are all the most outstanding people in the Seventh Layer Of Sect Master of the martial way."
Lu Chen nodded. The pressure on the fifth floor was several times greater than the first floor, but these people didn't seem to be affected at all. They seemed to be relaxed.
According to Yu Hao's reminder before, every additional level increased the flow of time by one fold. Although there was an effect of a lot of pressure on Lu Chen when he reached this place, it was not that obvious compared to the Soul Spring region.
Therefore, Lu Chen didn't plan to stay and prepared to walk towards the fourth floor.
"Wait."
"You must be a freshman, right?"
"I advise you not to go up. The pressure of the sixth floor is not inferior to the pressure of the Soul Spring.
At this moment, a young man with long, loose hair suddenly opened his eyes and warned Lu Chen in a deep voice.
"Thank you for your reminder, senior."
"But I don't think I'll have a problem."
Lu Chen laughed. He knew that the other party had good intentions, but to be able to withstand the pressure from the Soul Spring's bottom of the water, the pressure of the fourth level of Training Hall should not be a problem.
The long-haired teenager still wanted to say something, but Lu Chen had already disappeared from the entrance of the stairs.
Seeing this, he frowned and shook his head, "Every time a new student joins, there will always be a few who don't listen to my advice. When they climb down later, they will make a fool of themselves."
With that, he closed his eyes.
Lu Chen stepped on the stone stairs and his steps became heavier and heavier like a mountain pressing down on top of his head. The long-haired teenager was right, the pressure on the sixth floor was extremely scary, it was not weaker than the pressure on the Soul Spring s in some aspects.
But for Lu Chen, it was still within the acceptable range.
His expression was as calm as usual and even though it was somewhat affecting him, his footsteps did not slow down in the slightest as he quickly ascended to the fourth floor of the Training Hall.
The energy of the formation here was even denser, Lu Chen could even feel the flow of time here.
"Hmm?"
"It's rare for someone to reach the sixth level?"
The moment Lu Chen stepped onto the sixth floor, the few people sitting cross-legged on the floor all opened their eyes at the same time. In the blink of an eye, five to six pairs of eyes, as fast as lightning, landed on Lu Chen's body.
It was clearly just a pair of eyes, but it felt real when it landed on Lu Chen's body. The sky-blade that seemed like an unparalleled sharp blade caused traces of sparks to appear on the lower tier magical equipment he wore.
"Hmph."
Lu Chen frowned. The blood aura in his body circulated and a layer of force appeared on the surface of his body, causing these people to shrink back as if they had been electrocuted.
"Not bad power."
"This person's face looks a little strange. Just who is he?" They looked at each other and felt a hint of danger from Lu Chen.
The pressure of the seventh floor even exceeded the pressure at the bottom of the Soul Spring's body, but it was still within the range that he could endure. He wanted to test just how many levels he could reach the Training Hall, so he similarly did not have the impulse to linger here, so he walked towards the eighth floor.
"He actually wants to continue going up."
"Are you crazy?"
"Even we can't withstand the pressure of the eighth level. He dares to go up?"
Under the flabbergasted gazes of everyone, Lu Chen continued to walk up and quickly disappeared from their line of sight.
"It actually succeeded?"
"When did such a guy appear in the academy?" How come I've never heard of it before? "
The few of them widened their eyes as shock and doubt filled their faces.
"The number of people that can make it to the eighth floor is not even twenty in the East, West, and West Academies combined. Moreover, almost all of them are in the top fifty of Earth Rank, but this person looks very unfamiliar."
"Also, have you noticed that the aura coming from his body seems to only be the First Layer Of Sect Master of the martial way? Could it be that the monster is deliberately hiding his face and cultivation to fool us people?"
Lu Chen did not pay attention to the discussions of the people on the seventh floor. At this moment, he was already on the eighth floor and every inch of his flesh and bones was under enormous pressure. Even with his current breakthrough, his physical body was still under tremendous pressure.
The pressure of the eighth floor was even more terrifying than the pressure at the bottom of the Soul Spring s water.
According to his judgement, the first five levels had three times the speed of flow, and reaching the sixth level would increase the speed by four times, reaching the seventh level would increase the speed by five times, and the eighth level would have six times the speed. In other words, one day of training here was equivalent to six days of training in the outside world.
However, if one wanted to cultivate under such frightening pressure, not to mention the elites of the Seventh Layer Of Sect Master, even the elites of the Eighth Layer Of Martial Tao Sect Master would have to struggle. Only Lu Chen's physical body far surpassed experts of the same realm, and he was comparable to the peak of the High-grade Magic Tool, otherwise, it would have been difficult for others to straighten their backs.
"The pressure from six times the current speed is already this terrifying. If I were to reach the ninth floor, what would happen?" Lu Chen couldn't help but take a step forward as he thought about it.
Since he had reached this point, he actually wanted to see what kind of existence these ten levels of Training Hall were. The most important thing was that Lu Chen's interest was the energy of the formation that was accelerating in time, in order to support such a huge amount of Training Hall, the energy required was not something that ordinary soul crystals could support. According to his estimations, at the highest level of the Training Hall, there should be an extremely boundless energy source that was supporting the entire circulation of the Training Hall.
If he wasn't wrong, the energy source should be at the top of the tenth layer.
Under such terrifying pressure, it was a huge trial to his physical body. So, Lu Chen did not hesitate to head towards the ninth floor. He wanted to see if he could reach the tenth floor with his current strength.
