47: Chapter 47 Quickly give him the divine-level essence blood

At this moment, an hour had already passed since Lin Yuan entered the Heavenly Fire Cultivation Chamber.

The upperclassmen outside the Martial God Tower all wore strange expressions; some stared blankly at the green light on the third floor, some hung their heads in dejection, and even more upperclassmen clenched their fists...

"It's been an hour, right? Is this kid a monster? Even if his talent is great, his physical body is this strong—" an upperclassman said.

"Yeah, it's been an hour. He's truly freakish. If he can last two hours, things are going to get really interesting—"

"I really can't imagine how terrifying his strength will be when he's a senior."

Time quickly passed for another hour...

Inside Duan Qing's cultivation chamber, Duan Qing was sitting cross-legged on the circular platform in the center. However, his body was trembling incessantly, and sweat poured down him like rain; clearly, he was nearing his limit.

"I lasted nearly three hours this time, improving by almost an hour. It seems that with another half a year, I can try the fourth floor. Only by clearing the fourth floor can I close the gap with those freaks."

Duan Qing gritted his teeth and persevered. Three months ago, when he challenged it, he had just broken past two hours.

Now, three months later, he had improved by nearly another hour. This rate of progress was still quite good.

Duan Qing felt a little smug inside; he was sure to receive cheers from everyone once he got out.

"No, I can't hold on anymore. The surrounding temperature must be close to one hundred and fifty degrees right now. Even if I push it, I can last another three minutes at most."

Thinking this, Duan Qing decisively ended his cultivation and stood up from the platform. The temperature in the cultivation chamber instantly began to drop.

The sweat on his body was instantly dried, and he felt his tough skin, strong bones, and muscles, nodding in satisfaction.

"It's time to go out."

Duan Qing strode out confidently, pushing the door open.

When Duan Qing walked out of the Martial God Tower, a faint, confident smile played on his lips, carrying the pleasure and glory of a triumphant return.

But the next second, he froze on the spot. Where were the applause? The cheers? The congratulations?

Why was it so quiet? This wasn't scientific...

Duan Qing looked suspiciously at the faces of the crowd. Why did everyone look as if they hadn't seen him, all looking up toward the third floor of the Martial God Tower?

"I'm a whole person, and I'm already out. Are they blind? What are they still looking up at?"

Duan Qing walked into the crowd, puzzled, and also looked up toward the third floor of the Martial God Tower. A lamp was lit there.

Duan Qing spotted a few upperclassmen who often flattered him in the crowd and walked over, asking displeasedly:

"Who is cultivating upstairs? Look at all your ghost-seeing expressions."

"Brother Duan, it's—it's a New Student..." an upperclassman stammered.

"What? A New Student? That's impossible!"

Duan Qing blurted out in shock upon hearing this. How could a New Student reach the third floor? He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

But some of the surrounding upperclassmen immediately gave him looks as if he were an idiot—someone ignorant making a fuss over nothing.

They had been watching since Lin Yuan started climbing the tower.

When Duan Qing saw their gazes, he immediately became furious. "A New Student can reach the third floor? Are you idiots? If New Students can reach the third floor, I'll eat my own stool standing on my head!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd's mocking looks intensified, some even snickering, which made Duan Qing even angrier.

Just as he was about to say something more, an upperclassman grabbed his arm and whispered:

"Brother Duan, stop talking. It really is a New Student inside. We've been watching here since he started climbing the tower."

"A New Student—there's such a freakish New Student? What kind of joke are you playing?"

Duan Qing didn't believe it, nor did he want to believe it. He was a genius figure in his third year, yet a New Student could compare to him.

"It's true, Brother Duan. He is the national top scholar from this year's Martial Arts Examination; he really is somewhat monstrous."

"Oh? Tell me in detail," Duan Qing said with a dark expression.

Then that person recounted Lin Yuan's magnificent feat of reaching the second floor in five seconds and the third floor in three minutes.

"According to you, this New Student has at least the strength of a peak Second-Rank. But how is that possible? How old is he—how long has he been cultivating on the third floor?" Duan Qing continued to ask.

"Almost two hours. Everyone here is also hoping to see if he can last two hours."

"Two—two hours?"

Duan Qing muttered to himself, then turned to look at the third floor of the Martial God Tower, his eyes complex.

...Another hour passed. In the Dean's office at this time, Li Cangfeng had already boasted endlessly, but Mu Qianqian still disagreed with giving Lin Yuan the god-level fierce beast essence blood right away.

Just as Li Cangfeng was at his wit's end, his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and saw it was a teacher from their admissions office, so he said to Dean Mu Qianqian:

"Dean Mu, I apologize, I need to take this call."

Mu Qianqian nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Teacher Wang, what is it?" Li Cangfeng asked as he answered the phone.

"Director Li, he—he made it!"

An urgent voice came from the other end of the line, almost unable to speak clearly.

"Made it where? Teacher Wang, don't rush, explain clearly," Li Cangfeng frowned.

"The third floor of the Martial God Tower, he made it! It's that New Student you recruited, Lin Yuan," Teacher Wang said after catching his breath.

"Oh, I know."

Li Cangfeng nodded. He thought it was nothing major—it was just...

But the next second, he suddenly jumped up with a 'thump'.

"What? The third floor?"

Li Cangfeng's tone immediately shot up several octaves. That sharp, high-pitched sound clearly showed that Eunuch Li had lost his composure...

After confirming the news, Li Cangfeng hung up the phone and looked at Mu Qianqian with eyes shining brightly.

Mu Qianqian frowned. What was this pervert trying to do?

"Director Li, what's going on? What made you lose your composure like that?" Mu Qianqian asked unhappily.

"Dean Mu, Lin Yuan has reached the third floor of the Martial God Tower. He has been cultivating in the Heavenly Fire Cultivation Chamber for three hours and still hasn't come out yet," Li Cangfeng said after calming his excited emotions.

"What?—"

Now it was Mu Qianqian's turn to shriek several octaves higher. She suddenly shot up from her seat, her pretty face flushed red, and her tone soared to the heavens, like a melodious oriole.

But Mu Qianqian was worthy of her high position and powerful strength; she instantly suppressed the gasps behind her.

However, the fullness rising and falling on her chest still betrayed her shock at that moment.

Seeing this, Li Cangfeng quickly lowered his head; he dared not disrespect the Ninth-Rank Expert before him.

"You mean that New Student reached the third floor of the Martial God Tower?" Mu Qianqian calmly asked as she sat back down in her chair.

"That's right. He's still inside now," Li Cangfeng confirmed.

Mu Qianqian nodded slightly, pressed a button on her desk, and then said, "Project the footage of Lin Yuan climbing the tower into my office."

Subsequently, the combat videos of Lin Yuan challenging the first and second floors appeared on the projection screen in Mu Qianqian's office.

The first floor: instant kill. The second floor: overwhelming dominance.

"This child has at least the combat power of a peak Second-Rank. As for his Martial Arts Level, I'll know once I see him. For someone his age to possess such strength, he is indeed a rare monstrous genius."

Mu Qianqian nodded, finally admitting Lin Yuan's excellence. She had originally said that if Lin Yuan could reach the fourth floor before his senior year, she would give him the god-level fierce beast essence blood.

But he didn't need to wait until his senior year; he could already reach the fourth floor now...

"Director Li, you did well. Recruiting such a genius to our Qing University is a great achievement on your part," Mu Qianqian said with a smile, affirming him.

Upon hearing this, Li Cangfeng finally revealed a brilliant smile. "What about the matter of the god-level fierce beast essence blood?—"

"When he comes out of the tower, quickly give him the god-level essence blood!"

Mu Qianqian directly took out a spatial vial from her spatial ring. Inside the vial was the god-level fierce beast essence blood shimmering with golden light...
