The Trial's Sudden Change

Le Mengxue saw on the screen that another student had climbed to the third floor.

She had to admit, the talent of this year's students was truly monstrous. Even she, at this age, probably couldn't have reached the third floor so quickly.

But before she had time to think, she saw that someone had already reached the fourth floor.

From the third floor to the fourth floor, in less than half a day, a blue dot was displayed on the fourth floor.

"How is that possible!" Le Mengxue couldn't believe it. How could someone be so strong? She knew the strength of the Outworlders on the third floor best; they were all of the Third Order.

Although they were only around Third Order, one-star, they were still of the Third Order. As far as she knew, among the students this time, no one had reached the Third Order yet.

The highest was only around Second Order, eight or nine stars. Second Order, nine stars seemed only one star away from the Third Order.

But the gap between these two stages was comparable to that between an ordinary person before the revival of spiritual energy and a Second Order ability user today.

In fact, it was even larger, yet going from the third floor to the fourth floor had taken such a short time.

Hearing Le Mengxue's exclamation, Tang Lie walked over.

Looking at the content on the screen, he was also astonished.

Just as the two of them were discussing what kind of strength was needed to reach the fourth floor in such a short time, the screen showed that someone had reached the fifth floor.

This time, they completely lost their composure. If reaching the fourth floor was still acceptable, reaching the fifth floor was simply impossible.

The Outworlders on the fourth floor had basically advanced to around Third Order, three stars.

After the Third Order, every star increase was a transformation in strength.

With each star increase, the supernatural energy would strengthen the body once.

After undergoing nine strengthenings and entering the Fourth Order, one could basically withstand large-scale firearms.

One could see how powerful the strengthening of the Third Order was.

Both of them paid close attention to this leader who had reached the fifth floor, planning to see who it was once the special training ended.

They had also just speculated that among the participants in this special training, the only one who could truly reach this point was Xia Yufan of the strength attribute.

Shen Yi's figure flashed as he teleported to the fifth floor. Just now on the fourth floor, there had been no pressure on him at all. Although he had only recently entered the Third Order, the attributes given by the System, combined with his own ability level, allowed him to completely crush the fourth floor.

By now, he had a rough understanding of the spawning patterns of the Outworlders here. Just like on the fourth floor, the Outworlders he fought were all Third Order, three stars, with none exceeding four stars.

He guessed that this fifth floor should be around Third Order, five stars.

He waited inside for a long time, but no Outworlders entered. Bored, he decided to check out the exit over there. Only on the first floor was there a door through which he had entered.

On the subsequent floors, the doors inside could not be opened.

Walking to the entrance, he pushed the door, and it actually opened easily.

Behind the door was still a long corridor, just like on the first floor.

He walked along the corridor, wanting to see if there was the room the instructor had mentioned earlier.

The room that could enhance mental strength was something he still hadn't seen.

At the end of the corridor was a spiral staircase, except the staircase was made of a nearly transparent substance, looking incredibly surreal.

Shen Yi stepped on it, testing it lightly, and found that he didn't fall through.

So he walked up carefully, step by step, afraid that if he was careless, he would miss a step on this transparent staircase, making his heart race.

After reaching the top, it was a similar corridor. He walked along it; this was the sixth floor.

Upon reaching this point, the light on his wristband flashed, but Shen Yi didn't pay attention.

After waiting for half a day and seeing no Outworlders appear, he climbed up the stairs behind him again.

The seventh floor, still nothing.

The eighth floor was also empty, without a single thing.

Continuing upward, he wanted to see how many floors this place actually had.

Outside, looking at the surveillance screen, Le Mengxue and the others were completely losing their minds. Was this even human?

In less than half an hour, the dot representing that person had reached the ninth floor.

This was unprecedented. How could someone rush to the ninth floor? It was practically a joke.

"Has anyone here ever reached the ninth floor?" Le Mengxue asked blankly.

"No, never. This thing exists in every province across the country. The first six floors are used for outstanding high school students to train. From the seventh floor onward, the inside is filled with Fourth Order Outworlders, and only university students enter," Tang Lie swallowed, somewhat unable to believe this result.

"And this is just our sub-tower, only our students participate in the trial here."

"Then it's strange. Even Xia Yufan couldn't pass the fifth floor. The Outworlders on the ninth floor should be close to the Fifth Order, right?" Le Mengxue asked.

"That's right. The Outworlders on the ninth floor are already Fifth Order. I myself have only reached the eleventh floor," Tang Lie said, pointing at the tower in front of him.

"From the ninth floor upward, with each floor, the Outworlders' strength increases by five stars."

"While we are training here, the Outworlders on the other side are also training," Tang Lie explained further.

Le Mengxue nodded. She had also participated, but she currently hadn't reached the ninth floor yet.

"Could there be a problem with this tower?" Le Mengxue said in a low voice.

"No. This tower appeared after the spiritual energy revival in Huaxia. This kind of sub-tower was simulated by high-level ability users based on the main tower, so there won't be any issues," Tang Lie shook his head. Very few people entered the main tower, but every province had this kind of sub-tower.

Low-level ability users didn't come into contact with it and wouldn't look into it; only truly outstanding individuals knew.

There couldn't possibly be any issues.

The two stared intently at the screen.

Shen Yi walked for a long time and was about to reach the tenth floor.

As he neared the end of the stairs, he heard voices speaking above.

"Is everything arranged this time?" a low voice asked.

"It's arranged. The other side has sent someone in. He's currently on the first floor. Once he reaches the second floor, you go and meet him," another male voice replied. "Be careful. Although we've opened up this place, if we're careless and get discovered by the outside, the plan will fail," the low voice warned again.

"Understood. What is the contact's name?"

"Luo Qing. He has the Realm-Breaking Orb."

"Which tribe's trial entrance is on the second floor?"

"The Rock Bear Tribe."

"Go to the Rock Bear Tribe, find a way to sneak into the second floor, get the Realm-Breaking Orb, and then wait for most of their students to reach the second floor. We will activate the Realm-Breaking Orb then."

"Alright, I'll head out first to the Rock Bear Tribe. You guard this place, but the students can't make it up here right now anyway."

"I know. I hope the Luo Family won't make a mistake again this time."

"The side in Qiongzhou is also about to act. Once we resolve this Jiangxia side, it will be fine."

Hearing their conversation, Shen Yi didn't dare act rashly. People who could appear here were definitely not low-level ability users.
