90: Chapter 90 Supernatural Powers, A God Descends to Earth
"Divine Ability? Old Chu, what is a Divine Ability?"
Lin Yuan had never heard this term before, so he had to ask Chu Yunfeng for help.
"Divine Ability? How did you come to know about Divine Abilities? Divine Abilities are existences above Martial Arts. The reason they are called Divine Abilities is self-evident in their miraculous nature. They often provide enormous personal enhancement, or the Divine Ability itself possesses overwhelmingly powerful attacks, or other miraculous capabilities.
No matter what, every single Divine Ability is extremely powerful. Even among the great powers of the Starry Sky, they would directly tear off their faces and fight fiercely for them, stirring up waves of bloody conflict," Chu Yunfeng explained.
"That awesome? Then that’s great. My strength is bound to be greatly enhanced," Lin Yuan rejoiced inwardly.
"Right, Old Chu, do you have a way to let me advance to the eighth floor early?" Lin Yuan asked.
"This crystal in front of you should be a generator simulating a mental shock. Try probing it with your Divine Sense and see if there is a way to pass," Chu Yunfeng suggested.
"Mm, that makes sense."
Lin Yuan’s Divine Sense extended out of his body, cautiously probing towards the triangular crystal.
The instant his Divine Sense made contact with the crystal, there was a soft 'weng' sound. The crystal before Lin Yuan suddenly lit up with a soft golden radiance, and the tower door behind him opened at that moment.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly. As expected, it worked. It seemed this crystal knew that with his strength, there was no need for him to stay here.
Without further hesitation, Lin Yuan headed straight for the eighth floor.
...
Outside the Martial God Tower, when the green light for the eighth floor lit up, someone immediately exclaimed in shock.
"Look! Someone has reached the eighth floor!"
"Holy crap! Someone really made it to the eighth floor! It should be Senior Yan Hai. No one else should have this strength, right?"
"Is that even a question? If it’s not Senior Yan Hai, who else could it be? Lin Yuan just went up."
"Lin Yuan is absolutely impossible. Although his talent is monstrous, he has only cultivated for too short a time. The eighth floor isn't that easy to reach. Currently, there is still quite a gap between him and Senior Yan Hai."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded, even Ji Ming nodded his head.
Although Ji Ming really wanted to see Yan Hai embarrassed, he still admired Yan Hai's strength—
"I think it’s Lin Yuan. He’s the one who ascended to the eighth floor," Liu Ningfei said with an expression full of adoration.
"Heh heh—Junior Sister Liu, you really have blind confidence in Lin Yuan. But with his current strength, he still can't reach the eighth floor yet," Ji Ming said to Liu Ningfei with a smile.
Liu Ningfei’s expression dimmed slightly. She knew her thoughts were a bit unrealistic, but she still had a premonition that the person who reached the eighth floor was Lin Yuan.
...
"Ding! System mission complete. The Divine Ability Gift Pack has been issued."
"Open it! Open it quickly!"
Lin Yuan stood at the entrance of the eighth floor. The system had prompted him that the mission was complete, and he eagerly told the system to open the gift pack.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Divine Ability: Heavenly God Descends (Uninitiated), and one Divine Ability Advancement Pill."
"Heavenly God Descends: Activating the Heavenly God Descends Divine Ability can double the host's combat power. The multiplier depends on the Divine Ability's level. Divine Abilities cannot be upgraded using ability points; they can only be advanced using Divine Ability Advancement Pills."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan grabbed the Divine Ability Advancement Pill from the system space and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The pill dissolved immediately upon entering his mouth.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host. The Divine Ability Heavenly God Descends has been upgraded to Elementary level. Combat power can triple, lasting for fifteen minutes, with a cooldown of thirty minutes."
"Whoa! Triple! Then if I activate Heavenly God Descends now, my combat power can reach over 16 million, nearly reaching the 20 million combat power standard for Fifth Order Early Stage. Plus my SSS-level Supreme Martial Arts and Supreme Sword Techniques, I can fight head-on with a Fifth Order Early Stage opponent!" Lin Yuan was ecstatic inwardly.
This Divine Ability multiplies the total combat power. The higher the combat power, the greater the advantage of this Divine Ability. It’s truly heaven-defying! It truly deserves to be the high-grade merchandise that the great powers of the Starry Sky fight over!
Just then, opposite Lin Yuan, five phantom images appeared out of thin air. From the auras they emitted, Lin Yuan immediately discerned their Martial Arts Levels, and his heart grew much heavier.
"Five Fourth Order Peak experts. With my current strength exceeding Fourth Order Mid Stage, plus the advantage of my Martial Arts, I should be able to try and fight these five. If it doesn't work, I still have the trump card, Heavenly God Descends."
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan drew the swimming dragon sword. The five figures opposite him quickly scattered, surrounding Lin Yuan. These phantoms looked like they cooperated with extreme tacit understanding, making Lin Yuan even more cautious.
...
In the seventh floor of the Martial God Tower, the burly man with a fierce appearance suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the transparent crystal before him, his eyes filled with anger.
"Damn it! Is this seventh floor really this hard to pass? Just a little bit more, and I failed again—"
"Jiang Hao, it seems we still have a gap compared to Yan Hai," came a soft, effeminate voice.
The effeminate voice belonged to the handsome young man with a somewhat delicate aura.
Jiang Hao heard this, turned to look, and saw the delicate young man had also opened his eyes.
"Ling Qi, you’re awake too. It seems this bastard is still steady; he’s still lying there motionless with his eyes closed," Jiang Hao said sarcastically, gesturing with his mouth towards Yan Hai's direction.
"Sigh—this guy isn't that easy to surpass. Let's go down first," Ling Qi shook his head helplessly, then got up and walked towards the bottom of the Martial God Tower.
Jiang Hao glanced at Yan Hai, sighed, and also walked down the tower.
"Look! Senior Jiang and Senior Ling are out!" As soon as the two exited the tower, someone immediately exclaimed in shock.
"It seems Lin Yuan can still hold on for a while. He’s truly abnormal."
"But he should come out soon too. He can’t possibly last nearly two hours like these two seniors."
The crowd chattered, all guessing how much longer Lin Yuan could last.
"Haha—you two are still amazing, lasting almost two hours. Not like me, who came out so early," Ji Ming waved at the two, offering a compliment.
"Ji Ming, you did come out early. What are we? Yan Hai is still holding on in there. He will definitely make it through," Jiang Hao said loudly.
Although he said Yan Hai was formidable, the crowd could easily detect the pride in his tone.
But he never expected Ji Ming's next reaction to be like this—
"What? You said—you said Yan Hai is still holding on on the seventh floor?" Ji Ming’s voice was unusually high-pitched, clearly extremely shocked.
"Ji Ming, do you have to be so agitated? Isn't this very normal for Yan Hai?" Ling Qi, standing nearby, frowned and said.
"This—this is too abnormal!—"
Ji Ming stared blankly at the location of the eighth floor of the Martial God Tower. Hearing this, the crowd was also shocked and looked towards the eighth floor in unison.
"Ji Ming, what’s wrong with you guys? What’s so surprising?"
Jiang Hao spoke, and then followed the crowd to look up at the top of the Martial God Tower. But he wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked; once he did, he was completely stunned.
"Holy crap! Who is on the eighth floor?" Jiang Hao shouted in shock.
Ling Qi was startled and hurriedly looked up, "Holy crap! Who is this guy?"
Everyone qualified to reach the seventh floor of Qing University was here. Yan Hai was still on the seventh floor, so who was on the eighth floor?
"It’s—it’s—" Ji Ming stammered, unable to speak.
"Holy crap, Ji Ming, spit it out! Don't stutter at a time like this!" Jiang Hao grabbed Ji Ming's collar and roared.
"It’s Lin Yuan—you guys know Lin Yuan, right? He—he’s a New Student—" Ji Ming said helplessly.
"What? Impossible! Are you kidding me? Can a New Student reach the eighth floor? Then haven't we all been cultivating for nothing?" Jiang Hao roared mercilessly.
"Yeah, Ji Ming, what are you going crazy about?! If New Students can reach the eighth floor, I'll livestream myself eating feces right here!!!"
Ling Qi might have been hungry, as he actually threatened to eat feces on the spot—
