28: Chapter 28 90 times combat power bonus! Ling Xuan's terrifying talent at the time!

Ling Xuan’s eyebrows twitched at the thought.

Eighty times! One must know that a twenty-fold combat power boost was already equivalent to an ordinary silver divine edict stone.

Eighty times was even more powerful than a golden divine edict stone.

However, Ling Feng quickly realized that it couldn’t be calculated that way; the enhancement from cultivation techniques and martial skills also had to be factored in.

A Purple Entries could boost combat power by at least 10 times!

A powerful one could even boost it by thirteen or fourteen times!

This meant that as long as the cultivation technique and martial skill provided a six-fold boost, he could reach the eightieth floor!

A six-fold boost meant two plus three.

He would need to cultivate peak-grade fifth-tier cultivation techniques and martial skills to Grand Completion, and peak-grade sixth-tier ones to Mastery!

For a university student who had awakened his divine edict stone less than four years ago, the possibility of achieving both was almost zero.

Of course, if one possessed weapon-type divine edict stones, or full-attribute divine edict stone like Divine Martial, even if they were only green or blue divine edict stones, reaching a comprehensive eighty-fold increase would not be too difficult.

However, this was for Ling Feng; for ordinary people, one Purple Entries was already the absolute limit.

This was why others could only reach fifty or sixty floors at most.

“Then it seems clearing this Hidden Dragon Tower isn’t a difficult task after all!”

Ling Feng smiled.

He wanted to clear it; if he could get a divine edict stone like Divine Martial, he could easily pass.

After all, a Purple Entries Divine Martial divine edict stone could boost all attributes by four times; what if it was silver or even gold?

The boost would certainly be even more terrifying.

By then, let alone a hundred-fold combat power boost, even seven or eight hundred times would be passable.

Moreover, Ling Feng’s current base strength boost was 20 times! If he added the spear mastery boost, it would be a full 40 times!

With just these two divine edict stones, he could clear forty floors.

If he added cultivation techniques, martial skills, and other powerful divine edict stones, he could easily clear it now!

“But since I’m here, I’ll try to see what my limit is using only pure spear mastery!

I wonder if I can clear it!”

Ling Feng smiled slightly, and the next moment, he directly clenched his right hand in the air.

“Buzz!!”

In an instant, a long spear appeared in his hand.

He hadn’t truly practiced spear mastery, Raging Sky, yet!

Although he was already at the Proficient level, Proficient was not what Ling Feng wanted; he wanted Grand Completion, or even to raise its level relying on his own talent!

Now was the time.

“Buzz!!!”

The next moment, a Spatial Fluctuation appeared in front of Ling Feng.

A third-tier, two-star fierce beast was directly teleported out.

“Roar!!!”

Upon seeing Ling Feng, the fierce beast, not knowing what had happened, immediately roared and then charged towards Ling Feng.

Ling Feng also wasted no words, directly tapping his foot, his figure instantly rushed out, using spear mastery to engage in battle with the fierce beast.

At this moment, he didn’t use too much strength, only controlling his power to the standard of a normal Bronze First Heaven.

However, even so, with the twenty-fold boost in spear mastery power, the fierce beast was instantly killed.

Ling Feng didn’t even have time to try out spear mastery moves.

But he didn’t care; he had plenty of time.

The next ten floors were easy for him, all instantly killed without exception.

This was even without him using any divine edict stones other than his spear mastery divine edict stone.

Under the refinement of the ten floors, and with the boost of the silver spear mastery divine edict stone, this peak-grade sixth-tier spear mastery directly evolved to Mastery proficiency, and the combat power boost had already reached 300%!

The thirtieth floor, opened!

Afterward, Ling Feng began to refine his spear mastery, so the increase in floors became much slower.

…………

…………

Meanwhile, outside, as the news spread that all Hidden Dragon Class members had entered the Hidden Dragon Tower, a large number of students immediately gathered outside the Hidden Dragon Tower.

Not only were there students from sophomore, junior, and senior years, but even graduates who hadn't left school yet came.

The entire area outside the Hidden Dragon Tower’s barrier was packed tightly.

Of course, as fellow Hidden Dragon Class students, the sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduating class members of Hidden Dragon Class directly entered inside the Hidden Dragon Tower’s barrier, able to watch this tower-climbing event up close.

On a huge projection, there were dozens of names, with each name followed by a notation of which floor they had reached.

Ling Feng was not at the top of the list, as he was refining his spear mastery, so his speed naturally couldn’t compare to those who could instantly kill.

However, he was still in the top ten.

The fastest was a young man named Luo Feng!

At this moment, Luo Feng had already reached the fortieth floor!

“Luo Feng? Is that the genius who awakened a Mentalist Purple Entries this year? I heard his blade mastery divine edict stone isn’t low either. It seems Ling Feng has a rival this time!

I just don’t know who among these two can enter above the fiftieth floor!

If a freshman can reach above the fiftieth floor, it’s not impossible to reach the seventieth floor by their senior year!”

With one hand behind his back, Qing Xuanzi, who was flying in the sky on his sword, stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.

This generation’s talent was indeed very good.

Two reaching seventy floors at once.

It was even possible for someone to reach above eighty floors.

After all, both were geniuses with weapon-type divine edict stones plus divine edict stones that could stack with them!

As for how Luo Feng’s blade mastery and Mentalist could stack, it was simple: using telekinetic power to control weapons would naturally allow them to stack.

The power might even be stronger than direct use, after all, wouldn’t you be afraid of a flying blade?

“I wonder if this kid is interested in learning cultivation from me. If he is, I’ll develop a ‘Myriad Blades Unleashed’ move for him, and with the blade mastery boost, his future achievements would be limitless!”

Qing Xuanzi felt a surge of excitement at this thought.

…………

And it wasn’t just him; the geniuses below were also the same!

At this moment, everyone looked at Luo Feng’s climbing speed with shock.

“He’s already past forty floors so quickly! Who is this kid?! Could it be that he can reach fifty floors in the novice stage?

“This is a floor count that is difficult for us to achieve in four years of university!”

“What kind of divine edict stone does this kid have to possess such talent?!”

“Not just him, look at Zhao Shuya in second place! A girl, and her climbing speed is so fast, it seems reaching fifty floors is also possible for her!”

“And that Ling Feng, don’t underestimate him. My grandfather said that the reason we started school early this time was because of him?

As for the specific reason, it’s confidential!”

“What?! My holiday was cut short because of this kid?!”

“Confidential? Starting school in such a hurry is also because of this kid? Is this kid’s talent even stronger than Luo Feng’s?!”

“You came late, you didn’t see it, this kid’s climbing speed was much faster than Luo Feng’s at the beginning, he only slowed down after reaching the thirtieth floor!

It’s possible he’s just hiding his strength!”

“What is going on with this generation? Three geniuses appeared at once!”

…………

…………

Reaching above fifty floors before even enrolling made many geniuses feel frustrated.

Fifty floors was not simple; without additional divine edict stone stacking, they would need at least one Purple Entries.

They would also need to cultivate their cultivation techniques and martial skills to achieve a four-fold boost.

This meant cultivating all fourth-tier cultivation techniques and fourth-tier martial skills to above Great Accomplishment.

And fourth-tier corresponded to Martial Emperors.

Although their talent was strong, by their senior year, no more than ten people in each class could reach Martial Emperor.

They only cultivated fourth-tier cultivation techniques and martial skills.

If they cultivated fifth-tier ones, it might be even worse.

After all, learning fifth-tier cultivation techniques and martial skills to above Mastery was not a simple matter.

Therefore, fifty floors was a hurdle, and very few people in each generation could reach above fifty floors.

The main reason Ling Feng could cultivate his cultivation techniques and martial skills so quickly was that he possessed a silver talent-type divine edict stone.

This type of divine edict stone was extremely rare and very expensive; the price of a Purple Entries divine edict stone was comparable to a silver divine edict stone!

Owners of blue divine edict stones were already extremely rare on Blue Water Star, let alone Purple Entries.

…………

Under their gaze, time passed minute by minute.

Some people were defeated and urgently teleported out.

These individuals were more or less injured, some even critically, and were immediately pulled onto medical vehicles by the waiting rescue teams for treatment.

However, there were also those who couldn’t be urgently teleported, emerging as corpses.

Although there were only one or two, it still made everyone present’s expressions change slightly.

Because they were freshmen, lacking experience, the same thing happened every year.

Even in sophomore, junior, and senior years, one or two people died in the Hidden Dragon Tower every year.

Finally, in the first hour, Luo Feng finally reached the fiftieth floor!

After another ten minutes, Zhao Shuya reached the fiftieth floor!

At this moment, the entire crowd erupted.

With such talent in their freshman year, what would they be like by senior year? These two were prospects for above seventy floors.

And their floor numbers were still slowly rising.

Finally, Luo Feng’s floor count got stuck after reaching the fifty-seventh floor.

Clearly, seven opponents, each fifty times stronger than him, put immense pressure on him.

Eventually, Luo Feng’s name dimmed.

“Buzz!!!”

The next moment, a black-haired young man with a resolute face was teleported out.

“Pfft!!!”

However, as soon as he emerged, Luo Feng spat out a large mouthful of blood.

His chest also showed several large claw marks, deep enough to expose bone.

“Am I first?”

Luo Feng endured the pain and glanced at the ranking; he was indeed first.

However, he soon discovered that Zhao Shuya, in second place, was only one floor below him.

“It’s that girl from before, her strength is indeed extraordinary!”

Luo Feng’s gaze became solemn, then he looked down and saw that Ling Feng’s name had just reached the forty-ninth floor.

His brow immediately furrowed.

“Ling Feng gives me a stronger feeling, so why has he only reached this floor?”
