Cultivation Pet Shop

81 Chapter 81

While Lin Fan was slowly cultivating in the tower filled with Dragon Might, there were others that were gathered outside the tower.

Compared to the first trial, the second trial was much more friendly.

In the first trial, they were more encouraged to kill each other, but it was all different in this second trial.

In the second trial, when someone was about to succumb to the pressure of the Dragon Might and collapse, there was a protection system in the tower that brought them out to the front of the tower.

Once they were ready, they were free to enter the main entrance and retry climbing the tower again.

For the first few times, most people rushed head first as they tried to push as far as they could and force themselves to adapt to the pressure. But after being sent out several times, there were people that started slowing down and thinking things through.

There were people who pushed themselves to a point where they could still move, but only barely before stopping to cultivate themselves under the pressure. They found that under this pressure, their cultivations increased several times faster compared to normal. Then after they finished cycling their cultivation techniques, the pressure seemed much smaller compared to before, allowing them to move forward again.

Then there were those that still didn't think and continued to charge head first into the pressure, but they did slowly adapt and were able to continue forward.

Everyone had their own method of pushing forward under the pressure of this Dragon Might.

But there were those that stopped to watch their competition.

Right outside the tower, where the large board ranking everyone for the first trial was, now there was a ranking board for the second trial.

It listed everyone and ranked them based on what floor they had reached.

Most of the people on the rankings were all stuck on the first floor, so they were all in the same rank.

As for the people who were on the second floor, so far there were only just over a hundred people that had reached that level.

Then there was the third floor, only three people had made it that far.

Finally there was the most shocking result of all.

The top two were both on the fourth floor!

For those who had only felt the pressure on the first floor, they couldn't even imagine what the pressure was like on the second floor. There was no need to mention what the pressure would be like on the fourth floor!

As Boss Gao was sent out of the tower again, he looked around before finding Wang Da Dong and Zi Ling sitting together on the side.

Well, sitting together was a bit of a stretch. It was more like Zi Ling was sitting by herself and Wang Da Dong was just standing nearby.

Boss Gao came over and Wang Da Dong waved at him.

Wang Da Dong patted his back and asked, "How did you do?"

Boss Gao gave a sigh and said, "I couldn't make it past the first floor again, I always get stuck just a few meters away from the stairs. What about you?"

Wang Da Dong also shook his head in a depressed manner, "I finally made it past the first floor, but as soon as I took a step onto the second floor, the pressure immediately crushed me and I was sent out…"

While both of them were feeling sorry for themselves, Zi Ling was focused on the ranking board.

Since she didn't see Lin Fan out here, she knew that he was currently inside the tower and if her guesses weren't wrong, he and Angela should be the ones on the fourth floor.

Unfortunately, even if she wanted to send her spiritual sense into the tower, it would immediately alert the dragon soul inside and she would be caught breaking the rules.

Her mission was a secret one, so if she got caught, the only path for her was death. Either by her own hands or by the hands of the one in charge of her.

After they got over their depression, Boss Gao and Wang Da Dong turned over to Zi Ling and tried to ask her about how she did, but they couldn't approach her no matter how they tried. It was like there was a special wall that blocked them off and they couldn't approach no matter how hard they tried.

While the two of them were feeling sorry for themselves and Zi Ling fell into thought, there were the sounds of gossip around them.

Some people who had sharp eyes had already connected the dots. There were two people who had reached over a million points and there were two that were on the fourth floor right now, it could only mean one thing.

The only thing that was confusing for them was the person on the third floor, just who was that person?

But while they were all thinking about this, there was another person who entered the third floor.

Once again, it was a name that they didn't recognize which raised even more questions.

Which hidden clans had sent their descendants in?

Why did they only decide to show themselves in the second round? What had they been doing in the first round?

As these questions filled everyone's mind, there was someone who was plotting in a corner.

Feng Yu was surrounded by his lackeys, watching Wang Da Dong's group, "That idiot Wang, he'll suffer soon. He's lucky that he didn't run into me in the first round."

Feng Yu's score had been rather low despite how strong he was, that was because he had been running around searching for Lin Fan and Wang Da Dong. Since murder was allowed in the first round, it would have been the best time for him to finish the two of them off. Unfortunately, he didn't run into them at all.

Feng Yu turned to his lackeys and asked, "How is the plan going? What does the other side think?"

One of his lackeys said with an awkward smile, "The other side has already agreed, but they want half the payment now…"

Feng Yu thought about it for a bit before taking out a golden card, "Fine take this to them, but make sure that they understand that I want results!"

The lackey quickly caught the golden card before running off while promising, "Yes, yes, young master, I will definitely let them know."

Feng Yu turned back to glare at Wang Da Dong's group, "Idiot Wang and that bastard, just you wait…"

…

On the third floor, there was another gray cloaked person that walked up and looked at the other gray cloaked person.

Both of them gave each other a nod before sitting down to cultivate, waiting for the person up above them to continue moving.

The new person asked the one with sharp eyes, "Do you know who's up there?"

The one with sharp eyes narrowed his eyes, "When did we become friends?"

The new person said in a calm voice, "For now, we can be considered allies, don't you think?"

The one with sharp eyes thought about it before saying, "I honestly don't know, but they aren't simple. I could tell that one of them was absorbing the Dragon Might, but I don't know how he did it."

The new person's voice suddenly filled with a bit of surprise, "Absorbing the Dragon Might, are you sure? What faction did this monster come from?"

The one with sharp eyes shook his head, "I honestly don't know, but there's no reason to provoke them for no reason."

While they were talking, Huo Yan finally made it up to the third floor as well.

He had seen these two coming up, but he didn't try to fight them. His instincts told him that it would be bad if he fought them now, which was the first time he felt this way.

Huo Yan turned to the two and asked, "Did you see where those two went?"

The two in gray cloaks turned to Huo Yan before turning away without answering him.

Huo Yan saw this, but there was nothing that he could do for now. It wasn't like he could just fight them.

Moreover, they were currently halfway across the room, so even if he wanted to fight them, he couldn't reach them at all. It was already taking everything he had to just to stay standing on the third floor.

Since they didn't want to respond, Huo Yan couldn't do anything but sit down and start cultivating.

But in his mind, he swore that he would beat these two one day in the future.

…

On the fourth floor, Lin Fan was drawing in more and more of the Dragon Might, increasing the size of the golden dragon in his dantian.

But as the golden dragon increased, his dantian also increased in size. It was like the golden dragon would always be a single drop in his dantian.
