91: Chapter 91 Reaching the Ninth Floor, How Could You Be So Dog-like?

Jiang Hao and Ling Qi would never believe that the one who ascended to the eighth floor was a New Student.

But seeing the looks everyone was giving them, as if they were idiots, the two of them felt utterly stifled.

"You're all fucking insane! When the person on the eighth floor comes out, I'll take a good look and see just what kind of exalted personage could have fooled you all like this! Hmph!"

Jiang Hao, with his fiery temper, pointed at the crowd and roared, but the looks in their eyes only grew more and more mocking.

"That's right, I want to see who's pretending to be a New Student to show off at Qing University," Ling Qi also spoke up coldly.

"Haha, seeing you two so furious and flustered is truly fucking satisfying. Usually, you all walk around with your noses in the air, mocking me for my lack of strength.

We'll just wait and see what's actually going on inside that eighth floor. Stop barking for now; in a moment, I'll let you bark your fill! Hahahaha---" Ji Ming said with great satisfaction.

The two of them snorted coldly and fell silent.

...

At this moment, Lin Yuan faced five peak Fourth Stage experts, and a well-coordinated group of five at that. He instantly felt immense pressure---

Even though he had pushed Star Scar Nine Steps to its limit, activated his Profound Crystal Spirit Armor at its peak proficiency, and was unleashing his SSS-grade, peak-proficiency Space Dimensional Slashes like they were free, he was still being pressed hard by the five.

"This is so fucking frustrating. The gap in combat power is too big. Each of them has almost double my combat power. It seems I have no choice but to use a divine ability."

Thinking this, Lin Yuan held nothing back and directly activated the divine ability, Heavenly God Descends.

The moment the Heavenly God Descends divine ability was activated, the scene was simply too spectacular. It was a pity those outside the tower couldn't see it.

But that didn't matter. They would see it eventually, just not right now.

Lin Yuan's combat power skyrocketed, instantly exceeding 16 million. He didn't even need the full fifteen minutes. Within a few breaths, the five phantom figures dissolved into specks of spiritual light and merged into Lin Yuan's body.

[Martial Path]: Martial Artist, Mid Third Stage (80%)

[Combat Power]: 6.2 million

His combat power had increased by over 500,000 again. Lin Yuan was in a great mood. He wasn't far from the peak of the Third Stage now.

If he activated Heavenly God Descends now, with a combat power of over 18 million, he was even closer to the threshold of the Fifth Order Early Stage. Combined with his many other methods, the current Lin Yuan now possessed the strong confidence to face a Fifth Order Early Stage expert head-on.

"I wonder what's on the ninth floor. Even Liu Ningfei doesn't know. Since I'm here, I might as well go up and take a look," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

So, without hesitation, he ascended the stairs to the ninth floor.

...

At this moment, Yan Hai had already exited the tower and was standing at its base, his brows tightly furrowed.

He had indeed passed the seventh floor, but he hadn't attempted the eighth. He knew that with his Fifth Order Early Stage strength, he would gain no advantage against those five freakish peak Fourth Stage opponents in aSiege.

He had beendisheveledly blasted out every time before. This time, he simply chose not to go up, planning to challenge it again after improving his strength.

But when he arrived at the tower's base, he was shocked. From everyone's chatter, he learned of Lin Yuan's existence.

However, with the pride in his heart, how could he possibly accept it? His current mood was even moreindignantthan thatbruteJiang Hao's.

"Kid, when you come out, I'll make sure your true colors are exposed! How dare you cheat and show off in the Martial God Tower! Who gave you the audacity!"

Yan Hai stared at the green light on the ninth floor, roaring inwardly.

He, Yan Hai, as Qing University's Strongest Student, had no chance of passing the eighth floor. How could a New Student ascend to the ninth? If you said he wasn't cheating, even a dog wouldn't believe it---

...

Upon arriving at the ninth floor, Lin Yuan swept his gaze around. There was nothing here, only a faint, almost imperceptible pressure emanating from the surrounding space.

But his footsteps suddenly became slow, as if he had sunk into a quagmire. Moving became increasingly strenuous.

"What kind of power is this? I feel like my speed and combat power are rapidly decreasing," Lin Yuan was stunned by this unknown pressure.

"Haha---Kid Lin, look at you, so inexperienced. You don't even know what this is, hahahaha---" Chu Yunfeng had finally caught an opportunity and wasn't about to pass up a good chance to mock him.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly! If you have a fart to let out, let it out!"

"Why are you so disrespectful to an old man like me? Young people should be humble---"

"Humble your sister, you old fossil. Looks like if I don't devour you, you won't be comfortable all day, is that it?" Lin Yuan threatened.

"---Uh---Young man, why soirritable? Always talking about devouring, devouring, how unfriendly. It's not like I won't tell you, what's the hurry?

This kind of ability is called a Domain. Any martial artist who reaches the Seventh Order Grandmaster Realm has a chance to comprehend their own Domain. A Domain is essentially one's own Dao. Once you find your future Dao and your Dao-heart solidifies, a Domain can be born.

A martial artist within their own Domain is in their strongest state," Chu Yunfeng hurriedly explained.

"Domain... so powerful. I've only heard the term before, never truly witnessed it. So this level tests whether a martial artist has comprehended a Domain?" Lin Yuan marveled.

"Exactly. Use your Domain to push back against these Domain forces, and you should be able to pass," Chu Yunfeng analyzed.

"But I don't even know what my Dao is yet. A Domain isn't something you comprehend until the Seventh Order. I'm still far from that," Lin Yuan said helplessly.

"Hmm, indeed it's early. However, it's not strictly necessary to reach the Seventh Order to comprehend a Domain. It all depends on whether you can find your own Dao."

"Right, no rush. I'll take it step by step. I believe it won't be long before I find it. For now, it's time to leave."

Lin Yuan didn't dwell on it. Cultivation emphasizes gradual progress. He was already cultivating fast enough and wouldn't get impatient just because he couldn't pass the ninth floor.

This harvest had already been extremely bountiful. It was time to leave.

The moment Lin Yuan stepped out of the Martial God Tower, the entire place erupted. This was the ninth floor of the Martial God Tower! No one at Qing University had ever been up there before...

To be honest, the floors beyond the ninth truly weren't meant for ordinary people. At Qing University, students generally graduated at the Fourth or Fifth Order. Ask yourself, can a Fifth Order martial artist comprehend a Domain? Obviously not.

The ninth and tenth floors were reserved for true monstrous geniuses---

Amidst the cheers and flattery, a sudden explosive shout rang out:

"Everyone shut the fuck up! So you're the one called Lin Yuan, right? You dare pretend to be a New Student at Qing University and use cheating methods to climb the tower? Speak! What are your intentions?!"

Lin Yuan had been in a very good mood, having gained significantHarvest, but someone just had to come and ruin hisinterest.

Lin Yuan raised his eyes to look at the speaker. The crowd instinctively parted. Yan Hai, with his handsome features andelegantbearing, stepped forward first. Behind him followed theRoughJiang Hao and theYinLing Qi.

"That's right, I am Lin Yuan. You say I cheated? Heh---Do you have any proof?" Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.

"Proof? Do I need proof? If you were truly a New Student, how could you possibly ascend to the ninth floor? Let me tell you, I am Yan Hai, Qing University's Strongest Student. Even I can't reach the ninth floor. And you, a New Student, can? If that's not cheating, what is?" Yan Hai declared haughtily.

"Hehe---This really fucking makes me laugh. You don't have the ability to reach the ninth floor, I do, and you accuse me of cheating? Why are you being such a dog?"

It was true that Lin Yuan had a good temper, but that depended on the person. To those who were friendly, he naturally responded with kindness.

But when facing the unreasonable, Lin Yuan never humored them!
