While the female star was speaking, a golden light glowed on the ranking board. Many people were distorted. When order was restored, a new ranking was revealed.
Su Ping was still at the top of the ranking board. Behind him was … the 58th floor!!
The Star Lords fell into a deathly silence.
Su Ping had jumped from the 42nd floor to the 58th floor. In just ten minutes, he had jumped 16 floors!
It was horrifying that he could still maintain such a high speed after passing the 40th floor!
On the other hand, the young man with the wooden sword was still in second place. He had reached the 48th floor!
He was only two floors away from reaching the 50th floor. The next time the ranking board refreshed, he would be able to reach the 50th floor. This was only the fourth time the ranking board had been refreshed. In other words, only forty minutes had passed since then!
Fellows who could rush to the 50th level within an hour were few in the entire Illusionary God Tablet Mystic Realm's history!
The Dragon King was still behind the young man with the wooden sword. Dragon King had reached the 44th floor of the Tablet of Illusion, four floors behind the young man with the wooden sword!
Even though he was four floors behind, the difference in points between the two wasn't big. It was still possible for him to overtake the young man. After all, the Tablet of Illusion of the dragon family was more difficult and more points could be added!
After that, the Dragon King, the Holy King, the Virgin Thousand Leaves, the Queen of the Blue Sea, and the Frenzied Blade were ranked in order.
"He's ten floors higher than the second place!"
"It's the most difficult challenge for all the Tablet of Illusion!"
"His points bonus is almost double that of the person in second place!"
"Can this guy … make it to the 90th floor?!"
"…"
The Star Lords glanced over the list and their gazes stopped on the person at the top of the list. Previously, when Su Ping was fighting for a seat on the island, no one had paid attention to him, except for the Star Lord of the Dragon Grave Academy.
But now, all the Star Lords could tell that this young man was going to be a rising star. He would make a name for himself in the upcoming Universe Battle of Geniuses!
"I don't think he's on the same level at all. That descendant of the God of Swords is already a freak but he was defeated!"
"I think he will make it to the 60th floor next time!"
"The others are slowing down. After all, he has challenged so many floors in one go. The mental projection constructed in the Tablet of Illusion will be worn out and his strength will be weakened."
"Looks like the Illusionary God Tablet really isn't wrong …"
This time, the Star Lord's words were confirmed. After all, if there was a mistake, it wouldn't make the same mistake twice in a row.
…
Time zipped by.
On the 65th floor of the Tablet of Illusion, Su Ping gazed at the five beasts in front of him. The five beasts were of the dragon family, the demon family, two of the elemental family, and one of the Demigod Race!
Su Ping had determined that it was the Demigod Race because he had seen many Demigod descendants in the Demigod Burial.
Those Demigods had some physical characteristics of the god race, but the other half of their body was that of humans or beasts …
That was proof that the god race had an unrestrained appetite.
"The further I go, the stranger the enemies will be. There are even Demigods. Will there be real gods later on? That guy is smart and familiar with his fighting style. "
Su Ping observed while dodging their attacks.
He felt that his body was being consumed during the continuous sprints. He couldn't replenish his astral power. He would enter the next floor once he killed the enemy, and the battle would immediately begin. There would be no time to rest.
Besides, there was no astral power to absorb in the environment.
That was to say, the consumption was continuous. He would become weaker and weaker, while the enemies would become stronger and stronger!
Only if he left the Illusionary God Tablet midway and recovered his mental strength would he be able to enter it again. Only then would the body constructed from his thoughts return to its peak state.
"I have to use my astral power sparingly, or I won't be able to reach the finish line. I don't know how strong the enemies will be. They can't be Star Lords, can they?"
On the 65th floor, the enemies Su Ping encountered had mastered five laws and were mostly in the middle and advanced phase of the Star State!
Also, they were of different races and were good at different techniques. Some were good at swordsmanship, some were good at assassination, and some had extremely thick bodies that were difficult to kill.
The more he advanced, the more troublesome enemies there would be. Also, they worked together as a team, which was like an iron bucket with no openings. It was quite difficult to deal with them.
If Su Ping hadn't seen all kinds of strange enemies in the cultivation sites, he would've been at a disadvantage when faced with those different kinds of enemies.
If it were any other Illusionary God Stele, they would all be the same enemies. It was just that the strength of the enemies would constantly increase, and some of the stronger abilities would appear. As long as one could delve deep enough into the Illusionary God Stele, they would be able to reach a higher level.
Whoosh!
Su Ping suddenly saw an opening while he was thinking. He quickly approached the Demigod, and a wisp of Divine Power shot out from his palm like a needle. He slammed his palm forward, and several laws revolved around the needle, piercing through the diamond-shaped shield. The various laws on the shield were destroyed, and then the needle pierced through the Demigod's shoulder and exploded.
The Demigod was killed on the spot. Without his command, Su Ping quickly flew to the two elemental beasts and cut them down.
Soon, the 65th floor was over. Su Ping reached the depths of the ocean, where the water pressure was extremely high.
Caught off guard, Su Ping almost drowned. Luckily, he stopped himself in time. He instinctively wanted to activate his astral power to avoid the seawater around him, but he decided to hold back his astral power and let his body resist the water pressure.
His astral power would be consumed, but his body could resist the water pressure.
At that moment, a few giant shadows appeared in the deep sea and moved toward him from a distance. They looked like several underwater mountains. As they approached, the shadows that had their limbs spread out became hideous …
…
The list was refreshed for the seventh time!
The seven Star Lords gathered in front of the scoreboard, only to see that Su Ping was still at the top of the leaderboard. His position was far higher than the person in second place. Even if he didn't move, the person in second place would probably have to refresh the list several times to catch up.
"He's on the 81st floor …"
"He rushed to the 80th floor in one go. It's only been 70 minutes. He stayed on each floor for less than a minute!"
"Apart from the fact that he was fooling around at the beginning, his speed at the end is quite scary. Is he at the peak of the Star State?"
"A Fate State warrior is as strong as the top warriors of the Star State?"
"I remember that Amir's Little Witch wasn't as impressive as this."
"That little witch was strong and was the leader of her peers, but she wasn't as dominating as he is now. After all, there was also a monster in the Dragon Grave Academy that year."
"The successor of the Sword God is only on the 65th floor. I can't believe I said 'only'. How arrogant."
"The Dragon Emperor only reached the 60th floor …"
"There are still a lot of geniuses this year aside from that monster. Seven of them made it to the 50th floor in one go! The others are not as good as them. The last one is only on the 32nd floor. I think he's just here for fun. "
The Star Lords all smiled bitterly. Compared to Su Ping, who was at the top of the leaderboard, the other geniuses this year seemed "ordinary".
In the past, the successor of the Sword God being able to make it to the 65th floor in one go would have been shocking enough. However, with that mountain as a comparison, there was nothing new about it.
Right then, in front of the Tablet of Illusion, there was a flash of light and a man stepped out.
It was a young man from the Hugh Mia Academy. His face was pale and he shook his head. After a while, he came back to his senses. He looked around and saw the seven Star Lords and no one else.
So, he was the first one who couldn't hold on and came out.
The young man felt a bit embarrassed. Smiling wryly in his heart, he silently flew toward the point stele to see his ranking.
He prayed that he wouldn't be at the bottom.
While he was flying, in front of the Tablet of Illusion, there was a flash of light and another man showed up.
The young man's eyes glowed. He was just a bit early. That wasn't too embarrassing.
Otherwise, it would be too awkward for him to stay there with the seven Star Lords for dozens of minutes.
As the second man showed up, more and more people came out from the Tablet of Illusion.
Those who came out looked at each other. They felt a bit better when they saw other people coming out. However, they were unwilling to accept the fact that none of the people sitting at the top of the mountain had shown up.
Soon, those people gathered in front of the stele.
Su Ping, who was at the top of the stele, came into view.
Many people gasped when they saw the huge number of points and the number of floors he had to go to. Then, many people lost control of themselves and exclaimed.
"No way!!"
"The 81st floor? Did I read it wrong or did I write it the other way around? Should it be from right to left? "
"I'm on the 41st floor. He went to the 81st floor?!"
"How is that possible? Our Sword God Linghu is only at the second place!"
"The Dragon King is at the third place? That's impossible! "
"Is there something wrong with that?"
The students were speechless. They could not accept this result. They had a deep-rooted impression of the top warriors in their respective academies. However, none of them had reached the first place on the stele.
On the other hand, the first place belonged to Su Ping, who had won with his battle pets.
The most horrifying thing was that he had challenged the Tablet of Illusion and his ranking. He had challenged all the Tablets of Illusion and reached the 81st floor. That was against common sense!
Even the successor of the Sword God, who had challenged the Tablet of Illusion, had only reached the 65th floor. The difficulty of challenging the Tablet of Illusion was even higher. The difficulty of reaching the 81st floor was probably enough for him to reach the 90th floor!
Didn't that mean that Su Ping was at least 25 floors ahead of the successor of the Sword God?!
The seven Star Lords remained calm as they listened to the students' exclamations. There was even a hint of disdain on their faces, as if they were saying, "Have you guys never seen the world?"
As more and more students came out from the Tablet of Illusion, people would exclaim from time to time.
Soon, the ranking was refreshed for the eighth time. Su Ping was still at the first place. He had reached the 88th floor!
The unreachable height of the 90th floor was already within reach. At this moment, even the seven Astral Lords were a little moved!
The 90th floor was a watershed. It was extremely rare for someone to reach the 90th floor. They were geniuses among geniuses and would leave their names in the history of the Tablet of Illusion!
"At this speed, it's almost certain that he can reach the 90th floor!"
"Furthermore, he rushed up in one go and didn't stop halfway!"
"His foundation is too terrifying."
"His combat ability is definitely at the peak of the Star State!"
The seven Star Lords became solemn. Such a genius would probably have a surge in combat ability when he reached the Star State. He would be invincible among his peers!
The surrounding students fell into silence once again.
Some of them had thought that there was something wrong with the ranking, but it was a slap in the face this time.
The young man with a wooden sword, who was at the second place, had already reached the 70th floor. Such a result would've shocked everyone in the past, but it was nothing compared to the 88th floor …
Then, the ranking was refreshed for the ninth time.
As expected, Su Ping reached the 90th floor. It was exactly the 90th floor!
The young man with a wooden sword, who was at the second place, had reached the 73rd floor. He had reached three floors in ten minutes, which was quite impressive.
The seven Astral Masters were silent. Occasionally, they would look up at the highest of the Illusionary God Steles, at the most majestic Illusionary God Stele. They did not know when the youth that firmly occupied the top of the Illusionary God Stele would come out.
Time flew.
Every ten minutes, the list would be refreshed.
Every time the ranking was refreshed, Su Ping's number of floors would increase.
After reaching the 90th floor, Su Ping's speed slowed down. Every time the ranking was refreshed, he would only go up one floor.
Even so, this speed was alarming to the people outside. After all, the difficulty of the 90th floor was beyond their imagination. Ordinary people wouldn't even be able to last ten minutes, let alone defeat their enemies!
The young man with a wooden sword and the Dragon King were also slowing down. Just like Su Ping, they would only go up one floor at a time.
The five academies were speechless when they compared their progress with Su Ping.
Su Ping was at the 90th floor, one floor at a time, while the Dragon King and the young man with a wooden sword were at the 70th floor, one floor at a time.
Everyone present was well aware of the difference in difficulty of the 20 floors. It was enough to make people feel hopeless!
All of a sudden, a ray of light emerged from one of the Illusionary Steles.
The burly Dragon Demon appeared. He looked up, exhausted. Only when he saw that many people had gathered in front of the stele did he feel a bit better.
Not long after he came out, the Goddess of Light appeared from another Illusionary Stele.
She darted a look at the Dragon Demon. The tired look on her face turned cold. She snorted and flew toward the stele.
When the two of them arrived in front of the Point Stele and saw what was written on it, their eyes widened in disbelief.
…
Inside the 78th floor of the Illusionary Stele.
Two ferocious beasts of the demon family with arms like scythes were flashing about. There was also a white-haired Swordsman with a longsword in his hand. However, the Swordsman had the face of an eagle. He was also a beast!
He wielded his sword with his claws and slashed out rays of sword light.
In front of him, the figure of a youth flashed about. It was the youth with the wooden sword.
But at this moment, the wooden sword on his back was no longer there. He held a divine sword that was glistening with golden light. This divine sword glowed with the brilliance of divine power and was surrounded by dense sword qi!
The youth was covered in injuries. He no longer had a relaxed smile on his face. His sword-like eyebrows were sharp as he stared at the white-haired Swordsman. His figure flashed left and right as he slashed out one extraordinary sword technique after another.
Bang!
The white-haired Swordsman's figure was like a ghost, like a phantom. Together with the two demonic beasts with scythes in their arms, the youth was forced to retreat.
Bang!
The white-haired Swordsman's sword light suddenly changed direction as he displayed an extremely resplendent sword technique. It instantly gathered all the attacks in the world and condensed them into one, slashing at the youth.
The youth's pupils shrank. He hurriedly swung his sword, using sword moves to break sword moves. But in the next moment, his figure and sword technique were completely submerged.
His consciousness was broken.
The youth suddenly opened his eyes as if he had just woken up. He discovered that he had appeared in a space of nothingness. This was the Divine Illusion Stele.
That brilliant sword strike from before still lingered in his eyes. That sword strike had swept away all the killing intent, and it was extremely sharp.
"It's a pity that I've exhausted too much of my strength …" The youth lowered his head and looked at his arm. There was a hint of regret in his eyes. Although that sword strike was extremely brilliant, it wasn't that he couldn't block it. It was just that he didn't have enough strength.
He thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up. "78, not bad …"
When he was fighting earlier, his mind was completely focused on the battle, and he didn't pay much attention to the number of levels. He loved sword techniques and was deeply in love with them. Challenging the Divine Illusion Stele was also to temper his sword intent. He was completely immersed in it and couldn't care about anything else.
Fame and fortune were all secondary. Only sword techniques were eternal!
