87: Chapter 87 stage mission activated, crush the fifth level.
At this moment, Lin Yuan ascended to the fourth floor of the Martial God Tower in one breath. As soon as he entered the fourth-floor space, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
[Ding! Stage Mission Activated: Ascend to the sixth floor of the Martial God Tower. Reward: One Divine Sense Gift Pack.]
"Divine Sense Gift Pack? Could there be a pill inside that allows me to awaken Divine Sense?" Lin Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, thinking in disbelief.
The information he learned from Chu Yunfeng was that one could only generate a faint Divine Sense upon reaching the Martial God Realm. Lin Yuan yearned for this greatly.
Divine Sense could not only scan like radar but also allow one to perceive everything happening around them during combat.
No enemy intention could escape the surveillance of Divine Sense, and an enemy's weak point could be pinpointed with precision.
Those with powerful Divine Sense could even use it to attack enemies, directly assaulting their Sea of Consciousness.
Even if the opponent's strength was much higher, as long as their mental power was relatively weak, they could still be instantly killed.
Lin Yuan stepped into the passage of the fourth floor, and immediately, blades of space came slashing crazily toward him.
Lin Yuan didn't take it seriously at all and sat down cross-legged on the spot. When the space blades cut into his skin, they couldn't even leave a single white mark.
The cutting intensity of the space blades here was equivalent to an attack from someone with 400,000 combat power.
Lin Yuan's physical body had already reached the Perfection of the Blood Burning Realm. His physical body alone was a terrifying existence capable of withstanding attacks from Mid Third Stage martial artists. Of course, he didn't take these space blades to heart.
"The spatial energy on this fourth floor is very pure. It's just a bit wasteful of clothes..." Lin Yuan chuckled and shook his head.
He was currently wearing an S-rank battle suit with black and gold threading. His outer garment had already been sliced into powder by the space blades. He forgot to take it off when he came in---
"As compensation, I must absorb more spatial energy..."
Lin Yuan smiled, circulated the SSS-rank Breathing Technique, activated Whale Swallowing Mode, and frantically began absorbing the spatial energy.
...
The crowd below the tower was completely stunned. Was Lin Yuan stuck on the fourth floor? Shouldn't the fourth floor be passed quickly? Could his physical body withstand being stuck on the fourth floor?
Ji Ming frowned at this moment. What was going on with Lin Yuan? Why did he stop moving on the fourth floor?
"Lin Yuan is stuck on the fourth floor. Could he be severely injured and unable to move? Should we notify a teacher from the Martial God Tower to rescue him?" someone nearby said.
"No, if he were severely injured, the Martial God Tower would automatically stop operating. But look, that green light is still on, proving he's fine. We just don't know why he's delayed."
"Could there be a problem with the Martial God Tower? The fourth floor has an attack intensity equivalent to 400,000 combat power. Whose physical body can withstand it for so long inside? This is simply impossible!"
Ordinary people's physical bodies certainly couldn't withstand it, but Lin Yuan possessed a heaven-defying body refinement technique.
At this moment, Lin Yuan had been cultivating on the fourth floor for nearly half an hour, but the light still hadn't moved up or gone out.
A moment later, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, a silver light flashing within them.
The surrounding space became calm and peaceful. Where were the space blades? It was just an ordinary passage.
"Such pure spatial energy. It's just too little. I didn't even absorb much before it was gone..." Lin Yuan shook his head, still wanting more.
By absorbing the ability energy here, Lin Yuan's cultivation rapidly increased. His Martial Arts cultivation had now reached the Mid Third Stage (20%) progress.
His combat power also increased by 270,000, reaching a total combat power of 5.47 million.
"Little? It's not little. You absorbed so much that the Martial God Tower might need to recharge," Chu Yunfeng spoke up.
"Ah? Qing University won't ask me to pay compensation, will they...?" Lin Yuan asked sheepishly.
"How could they? Your talent is so heaven-defying; they'd be happy enough as it is."
"Well, Old Chu, I like hearing that," Lin Yuan laughed proudly.
"Time to go to the next floor."
Lin Yuan got up, put on a set of new clothes, walked through the passage, and stepped into the entrance of the fifth floor. The green light on the Martial God Tower immediately jumped to the fifth floor.
...
Outside the Martial God Tower.
"He moved! He's on the fifth floor!"
Someone saw the change in Lin Yuan's light on the Martial God Tower and immediately exclaimed in shock.
Everyone looked up and indeed saw that Lin Yuan's light had reached the fifth floor, causing a wave of murmurs.
"Lin Yuan has such a strong physical body, to actually stay on the fourth floor for so long. We just don't know why he stayed on the fourth floor?"
"Could there be a secret on the fourth floor that we don't know about? Did we miss something?"
"Missed? Then try staying on the fourth floor for half an hour and see if you can find the secret. Severe injury is guaranteed..."
...
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Ji Ming smiled slightly:
"It seems this Junior Lin is truly extraordinary. That physical body is quite formidable, tsk tsk... Truly a master of hidden power..."
"What do you mean?" someone next to him asked doubtfully.
"He has a certain level of skill, hahahaha---"
Ji Ming laughed heartily, and the people around him followed suit, the atmosphere suddenly becoming joyful.
Liu Ningfei looked at the fifth floor of the Martial God Tower. A blush appeared on her cold, beautiful face. "He is truly strong. This is what a true prodigy should look like. A man like this..."
...
At this moment, as Lin Yuan ascended to the fifth floor, five phantom figures suddenly appeared in the space opposite him. As soon as they appeared, they released their auras.
"Five Peak Third Stage experts. But for me, numbers are useless."
A look of confidence appeared on Lin Yuan's face. With his Mid Third Stage cultivation, combat power surpassing Mid Fourth Stage, the Blood Burning Realm physical body, and the SSS-rank Movement Martial Art.
These five phantom figures couldn't even touch him, let alone injure him.
The corner of his mouth curved slightly, and Lin Yuan charged directly toward the five figures. Stepping on the Star Scar Nine Steps, his figure immediately became illusory.
Against Peak Third Stage opponents, Lin Yuan directly threw punches, needing no technique at all—pure violent crushing power.
The sound of sonic booms echoed in the space. Lin Yuan appeared behind these phantoms like a ghost. With one punch, a phantom was directly blasted apart.
In just a few breaths, all five phantom figures on the field disappeared, leaving only countless specks of spiritual light in the space, which drilled into Lin Yuan's body.
"Mmm--- So comfortable. Absorbing these spiritual light specks is really pleasant. My cultivation has improved again."
Lin Yuan looked at the data on the system panel with pleasant surprise. His cultivation had improved by another 10% progress, and his combat power had increased by another 140,000, reaching 5.61 million.
Although the increase wasn't much, it was obtained very easily, so he didn't feel it was too little.
"I am now at the Mid Third Stage cultivation. Increasing my Martial Arts cultivation doesn't yield much combat power. It's still not easy to reach the standard combat power of Peak Fourth Stage. It seems I need to find a way to get more ability points later..."
Lin Yuan thought to himself, and then walked toward the entrance to the sixth floor.
Once he ascended to the sixth floor, he would receive the Divine Sense Gift Pack rewarded by the system. Would there be a Divine Sense attack Martial Art inside?
I'm really looking forward to it---
