I'm about to finish my training in the mysterious realm. I need to accumulate some points.
After cultivating for almost three months, the first Astral Painting in his body had been completed. There were nine Astral Paintings in the Astral Painting State. Every time he drew one, he would be able to unleash infinite combat strength. The later Astral Paintings became more complicated and harder to draw.
Su Ping's plan was simple. He wanted to test the power of the first Astral Painting and collect all the points he could before he left the mysterious realm. Then, he could apply to the mysterious realm for materials for the Solar Bulwark.
The master of the mysterious realm might have some rare materials that Xingyue Shen 'er couldn't find.
"Are you finally ready to charge?"
The Dragon Emperor asked coldly as he flew towards Su Ping.
Su Ping was stunned and looked at him. Do we know each other well?
Ignoring him, Su Ping flew straight to the all-class monument at the top.
"…"
The Dragon Emperor was almost suffocated, especially in front of everyone's eyes. Even though he was a thoughtful man, he almost suffocated to death. His face was a little red. He could only swing his sleeves and snort coldly, showing a cold and disdainful expression, as if he had found a way out for himself.
The students of the Dragon Tomb Academy were all astonished to see the Dragon Emperor, who had always run amok in the academy, suffer a setback. A strange feeling arose in their hearts. They were both angry that their academy was being looked down upon, but they also felt an inexplicable sense of … pleasure?
The other students, however, narrowed their eyes and followed Su Ping, until Su Ping entered the all-class monument.
"He's indeed challenging the all-class monument!"
"He would have passed the test if it were another monument, such as the one with the dragon class or the sword class."
"Of course. He would have passed the test on the first day."
The students had complicated expressions. The Dragon Emperor and the Wooden Sword Boy were among the best of the students, but they had only reached the 90th floor after months of hard work. Su Ping, on the other hand, was able to pass the test in one go. The gap was so huge that nobody was jealous.
"This time, he should be able to pass at least two levels, right?"
"Although it will get harder as we progress, I feel that a monster like this cannot be judged by common sense."
"Can't you guys be a little bolder? I bet he can clear the stage today!"
"Pass?"
The students fell silent for a moment, but what was strange was that no one refuted. After all, Su Ping had created a miracle on his first day here. Just based on his first day's results, he had suppressed the geniuses of the five great academies for several months. And if time allowed, even if they trained bitterly here for a year, they might not be able to surpass Su Ping's results.
After all, even the Wooden Sword Boy and the Dragon Emperor's sprinting speed had become extremely slow. The time taken to break through the floors had begun to be counted in months.
In the crowd, Yuan Linglu bit her lips.
In these three months of bitter cultivation, she had made great progress. She had gone from the 35th level to the 47th level. In three months, she had increased her combat strength by 12 levels. The 47th level was close to the 50th level. Anyone who could surpass the 50th level would be considered a monster in the top ten star systems.
However, the higher the level of the challenge, the greater the trauma in Yuan Linglu's heart.
She was increasingly aware of the horror of the higher levels. The enemies she had encountered before reaching the 50th level were already unbelievably strong. Although they were only in the Fate State, their combat ability was at the peak of the early phase of the Star State!
She didn't dare to imagine what the unreachable 90th level would be like. As for what the others had said about the difficulty of each level after the 90th, it was beyond her imagination.
The gap wasn't that big when we competed for the legacies …
Yuan Linglu looked at Su Ping's back with desperation and grievance in her eyes. Even though Su Ping had surpassed her during the competition for the legacies on Longtai Mountain, she was still able to compete with Su Ping back then. However, she had been completely crushed at the moment.
…
Inside the all-class monument mysterious realm —
Su Ping entered the 97th level. He had been there the last time and had chosen to quit without much resistance. This time, he intended to clear the level.
It wouldn't be too ostentatious to clear the remaining three levels, would it?
Looking at the random scenes and enemies, Su Ping calmed himself down and summoned the white-scaled Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon to merge with it.
Su Ping had to fight with the dragon after reaching the 95th level. After all, the enemies beyond the 95th level were all at the peak of the Star State, and there would be three to five of them at a time.
Any other Fate State warrior would've fallen to the ground with their knees on the ground. How could they possibly fight such a battle?
Even the strong-willed and proud young men such as the Dragon Emperor and the Wooden Sword Boy would have changed their expressions. After all, such a level of difficulty was beyond common sense!
It's the same lineup as last time. It seems that the all-class monument has locked onto my aura. I have to pass this level if I want to be randomly assigned to a different lineup. I won't stand a chance if I try to switch between enemies again and again.
Su Ping smiled casually. He hadn't fought them last time; it was a good opportunity to see the gap between them.
Without any hesitation, Su Ping simply unleashed the power of the first Astral Painting in his body.
The three round stars in the Astral Painting revolved like dazzling stars. Su Ping's strength was surging like a raging river.
Boom!
Su Ping punched; starlight burst out of his fist, which carried a strong and sharp aura. It was exactly the power of the Astral Painting.
His astral power began to have a special feature; it carried the horrifying power of the Astral Painting!
…
While Su Ping was challenging the monument, a man who had been sleeping in a palace deep inside the mysterious realm suddenly opened his eyes. The palace was made of white stone and looked simple and unadorned.
Instantly, two bolts of lightning seemed to be darting out of the palace and penetrating the sky.
"This little guy can really hold it in."
"He's probably going to challenge my record this time. I wonder if he can break it."
The figure muttered to himself as a faint smile appeared on his face.
A swirl appeared in front of his eyes, projecting a picture of Su Ping who had entered the 97th floor. The enemy had already shown up; a battle was about to break out.
Bang!
Inside the illusion, Su Ping suddenly unleashed an invincible aura. Three clusters of starlight were shrinking in his internal organs. Even though they were separated by his physical body, they could clearly feel that there were three luminous pearls hidden inside his body.
Su Ping unleashed his strength and punched one of the phantoms to death!
"Huh?"
The man opened his eyes and sat up in shock. Was the little guy really at the Fate State with such overwhelming astral power?
"His technique is quite special …" The man soon realized that Su Ping's technique wasn't simple; he was able to absorb so much astral power without exploding; he was also able to resist the bottleneck. Normal techniques wouldn't have been able to do that.
Very soon, Su Ping took care of the enemies on the 97th floor and entered the 98th floor under the man's gaze.
"I thought it would take a while …"
The man's lips twitched as he looked at Su Ping's speed. He suddenly felt that his previous worries were a joke.
As he expected, Su Ping quickly killed the enemies on the 98th floor with his horrifying astral power and the many laws he used.
He reached the 99th floor in the blink of an eye!
That was already the highest floor in the monument, and the enemies he had encountered were also the strongest!
The man knew that the monument was a test set up by the master of the mysterious realm. He had passed the test years ago, which was why he was qualified to inherit the mysterious realm and become its new master.
The real benefits of the mysterious realm weren't those monuments …
"If I hadn't been born early, I'm afraid this secret realm would have fallen into the hands of this little fellow." This figure muttered to himself. Soon after, he shook his head. Even he felt a little emotional.
As an Ascendant State expert whose lifespan was close to immortality, his greatest entertainment was to see countless geniuses shining in the universe, right?
"His fame should soon reach the ears of those fellows. Looks like I have to act immediately," the figure muttered to himself. His eyes flickered for a moment before he abruptly stood up and left.
At the same time, on the 99th floor of the all-class monument.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The surrounding environment was extremely harsh. On this level, the illusions were constantly changing. While he was fighting, he did not stop. One moment it was a forest, the next moment it was the depths of the sea, and the next moment it was the surface of a planet with gravity hundreds of times greater than that of the Blue Star. The enemies he was fighting were also constantly changing.
One moment, it was a dragon; the next moment, it was an elemental warrior; the next moment, it was a wretched remote attacker. Some of them turned from a vulnerable assassin into a beast with a tough shell and thorns all over its body, making it impossible for him to attack.
"This is a test of my reflexes!"
Su Ping suffered a few setbacks and was quite annoyed. The enemies on the 99th floor were quite tricky to deal with in the first place. They were either enemies of multiple laws who had mastered more than a dozen laws, or those who had almost perfected a single law and could condense laws at any time.
Even the top Star State geniuses of the same level would have trouble dealing with them if they were outside.
"Are you forcing me to use a double fusion?"
"No, I won't!"
The more Su Ping fought, the more infuriated he became. He found an opportunity to cancel the fusion with the white-scaled Vast Sky Thunderous Dragon and then summoned the Inferno Dragon.
The Inferno Dragon was stronger than Little White in terms of combat ability.
The more powerful the battle pet was, the greater the enhancement would be.
As for summoning the Dark Dragon Hound and his other pets to help him … That was already impossible for the enemies on the 99th floor.
While the Dark Dragon Hound and his other pets were tough and talented, they weren't strong enough to fight those at the peak of the Star State; they would only be a burden.
The battle pet warriors' pets were only suitable for ordinary battle pet warriors. Geniuses like them who had improved their combat ability could only rely on themselves.
Even if the pets they signed were one level higher than them, it wouldn't be of much use in the hands of the top geniuses. They would still have to rely on themselves on the battlefield, and their pets would only be assistants.
However, the toughness of the battle pet warrior system lay in the fact that it was suitable for everyone. Also, the truly horrifying leap would only be shown in the later phase of the Ascendant State!
Once they signed a contract with a Celestial State pet, they would have to kneel and call it daddy, no matter how talented they were.
The higher the level, the more difficult it would be to make a breakthrough!
"Merge!"
Su Ping quickly merged with the Inferno Dragon. Very soon, a horrifying aura burst out of his body, which was even stronger than when he merged with Little White. Su Ping dodged the incoming attack and punched the person who ambushed him from behind, forcing him to retreat.
Then, Su Ping condensed astral power into a sword, which was surrounded by scorching astral power and thirty laws. The aura it released made the space collapse.
Boom!
…
"He's on the 98th floor!"
"Damn it. He's only been in there for ten minutes, and he's already passed two floors?"
"I was wondering how many times he'd be able to reach the 97th floor. Damn it. I'm going to kneel first!"
All the geniuses gathered in front of the score monument, staring at the refreshed score monument in shock.
The students who had come out of the monuments learned that Su Ping was challenging the all-class monument; they didn't want to continue their training; they simply gathered there to observe.
The Dragon Emperor and the Wooden Sword Boy weren't cultivating on the hilltop, either. They couldn't calm down, even if they wanted to!
The young man who carried a wooden sword pursed his lips. His eyes were sharp, but he sighed in his heart. Master, it seems that your disciple's will hasn't reached the level where you said the sword would break the seven emotions and replace the heart with the sword.
Although Su Ping was still at the top of the list, the number of floors below him had jumped from 96 to 98. It was only a two-digit jump, but it was enough to stun everyone.
It was too fast!
He had passed two floors in ten minutes!
It had to be noted that geniuses such as the Dragon Emperor and the Wooden Sword Boy lingered around the 90th floor. Every challenge lasted an hour.
Most of the time, they would fail; they could only struggle to survive!
Given Su Ping's speed, there was no doubt that he would crush his opponents!
"It seems that he can really reach the 99th floor …"
Someone heaved a sorrowful sigh.
"He does have the potential to reach the Ascendant State. An immature Ascendant State expert is right next to us …" The others wore complicated expressions; they were even more upset when they realized that there was an immature Ascendant State expert right next to them, and that they were about to compete with him.
However, in the end, some of them were vaguely proud of him.
It wasn't humiliating to be defeated by such a genius, was it?
Maybe, many years later, when Su Ping really reached the Ascendant State, they would be able to brag about this part of history. That way, they would feel proud.
Some of them were already lost in their thoughts. The Dragon Emperor, the Wooden Sword Boy and the others were silent.
"It seems that we've truly witnessed the birth of a great being."
The seven Star Lords in the sky also wore complicated expressions.
Potential to reach the Ascendant State meant that Su Ping would have a great chance of reaching the Ascendant State, as long as he didn't die!
Once he did, it would be a height that they would have to look up to!
