Chapter 104: Conquering the Heavenly Ladder Again! A chance for seven consecutive draws.

"I understand."

Chu Han nodded, understanding Zhou Tong's good intentions in his heart.

He then injected his Essence Power into the stone tablet once again.

With a flash of light, he returned once more to the base of the Heavenly Ladder.

He climbed all the way to the 30th floor in one breath.

This time, because he was cultivating the Beast God Transformation, he wasn't wearing his gravity suit.

Without the shackles of gravity, his body felt much lighter.

As the pressure of the 30th floor of the Heavenly Ladder bore down on him, he only felt his body grow heavy, but he didn't feel at all like he would be crushed.

He shook his head and stepped onto the 31st floor.

Then the 32nd, 33rd, 34th, and finally, he arrived at the 35th floor.

Upon reaching the 35th floor, Chu Han once again felt the same crushing pressure he had experienced when he first climbed to the 30th floor.

Under the heavy pressure, his body was on the verge of collapsing.

But this time, he had other preparations.

With a thought, the Demonic Ape essence blood within his body instantly activated.

Demonic Ape Transformation, activate!

A surge of savage, domineering power instantly filled his entire body, giving him the capital to withstand the pressure of the 35th floor.

"This is the power of the Demonic Ape Transformation! It truly is formidable!"

Chu Han felt that the potential within his entire body had been further stimulated.

Supported by this immense strength, he lifted his foot once more.

The 36th floor!

He reached the 36th floor, and an even more violent pressure immediately assaulted him from all sides.

Under this pressure, even the Demonic Ape Transformation was becoming difficult to maintain.

The power within his body began to recede.

"Exit!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he left the Heavenly Ladder Secret Realm.

He emerged outside, by the stone tablet.

His body had only relaxed for a moment before the side effects of the Demonic Ape Transformation quickly set in.

His whole body was racked with soreness; his muscles could hardly maintain any strength, and even the slightest exertion would trigger intense pain.

“Hiss!”

Chu Han merely turned around, and the pain from his muscles made him suck in a breath of cold air.

He remembered that when he had just finished his cultivation, he had activated the Demonic Ape Transformation once.

But that time, there were no side effects.

This time, however, the side effects were extremely obvious.

It was likely because he had almost completely exhausted the energy accumulated by the Demonic Ape Transformation.

This point was also recorded in the cautionary notes of the Beast God Transformation.

Once his body gradually adapted to the power of the Demonic Ape Transformation, these side effects would slowly diminish.

“Chu Han, how... how did you do it?”

At that moment, Zhou Tong's voice came, nearly trembling.

Chu Han could see that he was doing his best to suppress his excitement.

But even so, he was still shocked beyond measure by Chu Han's results.

“The 36th floor is already the second-highest record for students of the Body Tempering Academy! No one has broken this record for decades!”

Zhou Tong spoke excitedly, as if saying it out loud was the only way to make his heart feel a bit more at ease.

“Oh, so what is the first-place record? Who left it?”

Chu Han asked, somewhat surprised.

He had thought that by holding nothing back this time, he had already broken all the records of the Body Tempering Academy.

He hadn't expected there to be an even greater expert.

Hearing this, Zhou Tong's face instantly darkened.

He let out a sigh and said, “It was the 39th-floor record left by your Senior Brother. He originally had a chance to break through to the 40th floor, but unfortunately...”

Ending there, Zhou Tong shook his head and didn't continue.

He only left behind a series of sighs.

Even the old man guarding the stone tablet to the side let out a series of sighs and remained silent.

Chu Han didn't ask further, but he understood perfectly in his heart.

Zhao Hongtao had mentioned the matter of his master's first Disciple to him.

So he now knew why Zhou Tong and the other man were sighing.

Chu Han also realized because of this that his Senior Brother was also an unprecedented Body Refining Genius.

The fact that he could reach the 39th floor was enough to prove his extraordinary talent.

His fall was not just a huge knot in Qiu Zhan's heart.

It was also a loss for the entire Body Tempering Academy.

He could better understand Zhou Tong's painstaking efforts to deliberately hide his Heavenly Ladder results.

“The 39th floor? I will break it.”

He left those words behind and departed.

Zhou Tong and the other man slowly came back to their senses, their eyes filled with excitement.

“Old Qiu, someone is going to fulfill your wish this time.”

Chu Han didn't return to his dormitory but instead headed to the school cafeteria.

After the soreness in his body vanished, a wave of hunger hit him.

Only then did he remember that he hadn't eaten for seven days.

This time, he had to have a massive feast!

The cafeteria of Kyoto Martial Arts University was just like the school itself—grand and luxurious.

Here, there was no food you couldn't imagine, only food they couldn't make.

There was food from every kind of cuisine imaginable.

All sorts of spirit rice, exotic beast meat, Qi-enriched vegetables, and Qi-enriched fruits were a feast for the eyes.

Seeing all this food, Chu Han felt his hunger become even more unbearable.

He happened to see a dazzling array of prepared food ahead.

He immediately quickened his pace and walked over.

There were very few people here, so there was almost no need to queue.

“Classmate, welcome to the Kyoto Martial Arts University Buffet. For just 1 credit, you can enjoy all kinds of food!”

A staff member immediately introduced the buffet to Chu Han enthusiastically.

“1 credit? Then count me in!”

Chu Han agreed without the slightest hesitation.

“This way, please.”

The staff member immediately and warmly led Chu Han to a spacious seat.

“Eat whatever you like.”

Chu Han couldn't wait and immediately brought over several large plates of roast meat from unknown exotic beasts.

He began to gorge himself.

The commotion on his side immediately attracted many students.

Some of them were watching Chu Han as if they were waiting for a good show.

“He must be a New Student, right? Except for New Students, no one else would try the buffet here.”

“If he knew that a meal that could fill him up only costs 0.05 credits, I wonder what he'd think.”

“I can't wait to see the look of regret on his face. Every New Student has to go through this to realize how hard-earned every single credit is.”

The voices from outside quickly reached Chu Han's ears.

Only then did he realize that a meal here didn't cost 1 credit at all.

However, he didn't feel any regret or pity; 1 credit was indeed a small amount to him.

If those people outside knew that he was already 10,000 credits in debt, he wondered how they would react.

Chu Han's stomach seemed like a bottomless pit.

He ate dozens of plates of roasted exotic beast meat in a row and still felt a bit hungry.

He then went to get spirit rice and other types of dishes to eat along with the roast meat.

Two hours later, he had eaten almost every type of food in the buffet restaurant.

Only then did he let out a satisfied burp, his body and mind filled with contentment.

The stack of empty plates beside him was already over ten meters high.

Whether it was the waiters or the students watching the show, everyone was terrified by his staggering appetite.

Chu Han didn't want to become famous, so he had to quickly leave the cafeteria.

Returning to his dormitory, he took a wonderful bath.

Then he put his gravity suit back on.

He adjusted the gravity to 50 times, and it actually felt the same as the pressure of 20 times gravity before.

He increased the gravity to 100 times, and his body could still Cultivate.

He hadn't expected that in just seven days, his physical body would have reached such a level.

Dozens of times the gravity was no longer as terrifying to him as before.

He opened his communicator and saw dozens of unread messages.

Most of them were from his parents.

So he called his parents, had a video chat, and let them know he was safe.

Only then did his parents feel at ease.

Chu Han hung up the communicator and suddenly thought of something.

He stood up abruptly from the sofa.

“I haven't done a lottery draw for seven days!”

He hurriedly opened the Lottery Space and found that his number of lottery draws had become 7.

“Start the lottery! Use up all 7 chances.”

With a thought from Chu Han, the rainbow-colored wheel began to spin rapidly.
