Chapter 122 If you're a man, you'll conquer the 90th floor.
Meanwhile, in the principal's office.
The principal, Vice Principal, and Zhou Tong held an emergency meeting regarding Chu Han's trial tower ranking.
Zhou Tong attended as the representative of the Body Tempering Academy, while Qiu Zhan had already gone into seclusion last night.
On the virtual screen before them, Chu Han's trial tower results were displayed.
"What do you think? Should we protect Chu Han's results?" the principal asked.
The Vice Principal immediately said, "I think it's necessary. The combat ranking already protects his ranking; the trial ranking shouldn't be left open either."
"I agree. The Body Tempering Academy's ladder ranking has also hidden Chu Han's true results." Zhou Tong, as the representative of the Body Tempering Academy, nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Chu Han's ranking on the screen changed again.
Chu Han had passed floor 62, ranking 519.
Just a few seconds later, Chu Han passed floor 63, and his ranking became 503.
"Too fast. His limit is far beyond floor 60. It seems protecting the ranking is necessary."
The principal made a decision immediately.
When Chu Han cleared floor 64, his ranking on the list froze at 500 and stopped changing.
Only a handful of people knew Chu Han's true ranking.
"Recently, the Mosheng Society has been getting restless, seemingly brewing some conspiracy. But no matter what, the geniuses of Capital Martial Arts University are off-limits to outsiders!"
The principal burst out with a powerful and firm Aura, revealing his strength as a 9th-Rank Martial Artist.
Inside the trial tower, Chu Han had already passed floor 70 and was pushing toward floor 80.
He noticed that from floor 60 onward, the difficulty increase of each floor was targeted.
On floors 60-70, the enemies' strength was limited to the 6th Rank Initial Stage.
On floors 70-80, the enemies' strength was limited to the 6th Rank Middle Stage.
After floor 80, the enemies' strength reached the 6th rank late stage.
At Capital Martial Arts University, no more than 100 people had passed floor 70, almost all of whom were top-ranking seniors and outstanding juniors.
This floor range was where the school's elite faced the fiercest competition.
Only those who ranked in the top 100 on all three major leaderboards were eligible to participate in the selection for the Elite League of the Top 100 Universities.
Those who could pass floor 80 numbered fewer than ten in the entire school, with no juniors among them.
But soon, a New Student's name appeared on this list.
Chu Han broke the record at the fastest speed, clearing floor 80 in one go.
And it took him less than ten minutes.
If this speed and result were made public, it would be enough to drive the entire school completely wild.
"Old Qiu said Chu Han's goal is floor 90."
Zhou Tong forced himself to stay calm as he watched Chu Han's ranking change.
"Floor 90? It seems his target is indeed Sky Academy. Capital Martial Arts University is just a stepping stone for him," the Vice Principal sighed.
"What's wrong with that? It's time someone broke Capital Martial Arts University's records! I just wonder if he can break through this limit!"
The principal's face was full of excitement, looking forward even more to Chu Han's final results.
Inside the trial tower, Chu Han quickly reached floor 85.
Floor 85 was the current highest record at Capital Martial Arts University.
Only Xiahou Yu, ranked first on all three leaderboards, could clear this floor.
However, this was not the historical record of Capital Martial Arts University. Xiahou Yu had just become a senior and still had a year to challenge the subsequent floors.
From this floor onward, the difficulty of each trial soared again.
The opponent on floor 85 was a late 6th-Rank 'Lava Giant,' whose Physical Body was comparable to a 7th-Rank Exotic Beast. It had astonishing defense and could control magma attacks.
If the challenger couldn't find its weakness, they would inevitably be stopped at floor 85.
But before Chu Han, this Lava Giant lasted only ten seconds before Chu Han smashed it into a pile of gravel and powder with brute force.
The opponent on floor 86 was a simulated mechanical Puppet of two late 6th-Rank Martial Artists fighting in coordination. In the face of Chu Han's absolute strength, it didn't last as long as the Lava Giant.
The opponent on floor 87 was a 6th-Rank Void Worm that could trigger spatial tremors. Its spatial abilities were very tricky, but under Chu Han's speed and wide-range attacks, it quickly fell.
Floor 88 featured a peak 6th-Rank mechanical Puppet that had fused multiple elemental Yuan powers—an opponent with no weaknesses.
But facing Chu Han, its upper limit of strength was soon breached, and Chu Han shattered it with a single punch.
These trials that had once caused countless upperclassmen to fail did not pose much of an obstacle for Chu Han.
His Returning to Simplicity martial arts foundation allowed him to calmly handle various attacks, while his three S-rank Martial Skills and saber-style techniques were unstoppable.
He was like a precision battle machine; every attack was accurate and efficient, every dodge was perfectly timed. Soon, he reached floor 89.
When he stepped onto floor 89, the scene changed again. It was a sealed metal hall, with two dark gold Puppets standing in the center, their Auras even moreviolent.
These were two peak 6th-Rank mechanical Puppets, not only powerful but also capable of perfect coordination, their combined strength working seamlessly, making them the strongest guardians below floor 90 of the trial tower.
"Chu Han has entered floor 89. This is the school's highest record in recent years."
"He already has the strength to participate in the Elite League of the Top 100 Universities."
In the principal's office, the three top executives were all closely watching Chu Han's information changes.
"Only those who have reached the limit of the 6th Rank and touched the threshold of Grandmaster have a chance to pass this floor. I wonder if Chu Han can do it."
Chu Han felt the Auras of the two Puppets and a hint of an excited smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
Since entering the trial tower, he had finally experienced real combat pressure.
Under the 50x gravity restriction, the strength he could unleash was close to the 7th Rank at most.
Perfect—he would use these two Puppets to thoroughly test his own strength.
"Good, let me see just how strong the coordinated combat of peak 6th-Rank Puppets really is!"
Chu Han's Yuan power surged wildly within him. With the flame demon battle saber in hand, an indomitable Aura naturally emerged.
He no longer held back, merging the physical strength under 50x gravity, Dragon Fire Yuan Power, and the Returning to Simplicity martial arts foundation, launching a true offensive against the two Puppets.
After a fierce battle, Chu Han easily killed the two Puppets.
His current strength was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
These two Puppets had only held him back for 30 seconds.
Chu Han continued upward and finally reached floor 90.
Chu Han's breathing quickened slightly, and his heart was filled with excitement.
Floor 90—this was one of the four conditions for entering Sky Academy. He was full of anticipation.
Chu Han felt the Yuan power fluctuations around him suddenly turnviolent. The scene before him shifted from the metal hall to a void filled with countless floating debris.
In the center of the void, a silver Puppet two meters tall stood quietly. It wore ancient battle armor, held a longsword, and its body was faintly surrounded by the pressure of a Grandmaster.
This was a mechanical Puppet that had truly reached the early 7th Rank, having just entered the Grandmaster realm!
The 7th Rank and the limit of the 6th Rank might seem only one step apart, but they were actually worlds apart.
To pass floor 90, one had to display strength comparable to a Grandmaster.
"Finally, a worthy opponent."
Chu Han gripped the flame demon battle saber tightly, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
As long as he broke through floor 90, his first goal would be achieved!
