Chapter 287

The fifth floor

"Zhuowen, you're actually … an advanced Grade Three Arcana Master?

You've been hiding your strength all this time? "Xue Nai's mouth was slightly agape as she involuntarily exclaimed.

"You can say that!

Leave the rest to me. With your current strength, entering the fifth floor is a little too difficult! "Zhuowen glanced at Xue Nai as he smiled faintly.

Looking at the calm young man in front of her, Xue Nai's pretty face revealed a bitter smile. Looks like she really misjudged him back then. The young man in front of her, whom she did not take seriously at the beginning, actually possessed Mental Energy that surpassed hers. This was something she did not expect.

Gritting her teeth, Xue Nai nodded and said, "Yes!

You have to be careful. Su Yang, Su Qi, and Zhou Yi are not easy to deal with. Also, Broken Rock City is really relying on you this time. I hope you don't lose! "

"Don't worry!

I came to participate in the Arcana Ceremony this time for the Grade Four Yuan Array. Even if you don't say it, I won't lose. "

Narrowing his eyes, Zhuowen's lips curled into an arc. Following which, he stomped his foot and directly walked towards the stairs.

With Zhuowen's advanced Grade Three Mental Energy, the pressure of the fourth floor did not affect him at all. Hence, Zhuowen took a few steps and directly crossed the tenth step to enter the fifth floor.

Staring at the figure that instantly disappeared on the stairs, Xue Nai's eyes were filled with a complicated expression. In the end, she sighed softly and muttered to herself, "This time, it's all up to you, Zhuowen!"

Outside the arena, everyone in the VIP seats cast their gazes towards the Soul Spell Tower in the center of the training grounds. At this moment, the surface of the Soul Spell Tower was densely packed with dazzling light dots, as if they were stars in the night sky, constantly flickering.

If one took a closer look, they would see similar dots of light on every floor of the Curses Tower. These dots of light represented the number of people in the tower. There were sixty Arcana Masters who had entered the Curses Tower, so these dots of light added up to sixty people.

The second floor had the highest number of dots, accounting for almost eighty percent of the total number of dots. Clearly, most of the arcanists were stuck on the second floor, while the third and fourth floors had even fewer. The fourth floor had six dots of light.

Ouyang Yuntu stared at the specks of light above the Soul Curse Tower and whispered with a smile, "These little fellows are quite fast. Six of them have already reached the fourth floor!"

As soon as Ouyang Yuntu finished speaking, three dots of light on the fourth floor of the Spirit Curse Tower disappeared. Then, three dots of light appeared on the fifth floor. Clearly, three people had entered the fifth floor!

Ouyang Yuntu frowned as he muttered to himself, "They're really fast. It's only been a short while, but three people have already entered the fifth level!"

"Those three specks of light should be Yeyang City's Zhou Yi and An City's Su siblings. Only these three advanced rank three Arcana Masters are able to pass through the fourth floor so easily." Master Ku Ya frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

"I wonder if Xue Nai and Zhuowen will be able to successfully reach the fifth floor?

The mental pressure on the fourth floor is still somewhat threatening to an initial rank three Arcana Master. "Ouyang Yuntu frowned slightly and said with some worry.

As for Qiu Chou, he sat in his seat without saying a word. His face was as calm as water, but his gaze was fixed on the Soul Curse Tower in the distance. He believed that Zhuowen wasn't simple, which was why he had so easily agreed to Master Huo Yun's bet.

"Zhuowen, you better buck up. This time, this old man's bet is a little too big!" Qiu Chou's eyes narrowed as he muttered to himself in an almost inaudible voice.

When Master Huo Yun, who was sitting in the back row, saw the three specks of light on the fifth floor, the corners of his mouth curved into a proud smile. He muttered in a low voice, "This Qiu Chou is really too confident. He clearly knows that our An City has two advanced rank three Arcana Masters participating this time, yet he dares to make a bet with me. Is he relying on Zhuowen, who is only at the initial rank three Arcana Masters?"

"The Arcana Masters of Broken Rock City are nothing to be afraid of. You can only blame Qiu Chou for trusting Zhuowen too much!

Think about it, that kid is only at the initial rank three Arcana Master. No matter how heaven-defying he is, it's not very likely that he can defeat an advanced rank three Arcana Master. "Master Hanyun, who was beside Master Huo Yun, sneered.

As soon as Master Hanyun's words left his mouth, an uproar arose in the VIP seats, "Another person has entered the fifth floor!"

This uproar caused Master Hanyun and Master Huo Yun to turn their heads. Their gazes converged on the Soul Curse Tower. When they saw that there were four specks of light on the fifth floor, their pupils abruptly shrank.

"There's actually someone who can enter the fifth floor?

Who is this person?

Could it be Zhuowen? "Master Hanyun frowned and said with some surprise.

Master Huo Yun's expression was rather unsightly. He didn't expect that there would be someone else who had the strength to enter the fifth floor besides Su Yang, Zhou Yi, and Su Qi. Logically speaking, the mental pressure on the fifth floor shouldn't be weaker than that of an advanced rank three Arcana Master. Zhuowen and Xue Nai were merely at the initial rank three Arcana Masters.

It was rather difficult to enter the fifth floor with the mental strength of an initial rank three Arcana Master. However, there was someone who had entered the fifth floor.

"Eh?

Another person has entered the fifth floor. If this person isn't Xue Nai, then it's Zhuowen. "

Ouyang Yuntu also noticed that there was an additional speck of light on the fifth floor of the Soul Curse Tower. His eyes flashed as he laughed loudly.

"It shouldn't be Xue Nai. With Xue Nai's mental strength, it'll be very difficult for her to reach the fifth floor!

This person should be Zhuowen. "

Master Ku Ya muttered to himself. Xue Nai was his personal disciple, and Master Ku Ya was well aware of her capabilities.

"I knew that Zhuowen was extraordinary. Being able to enter the fifth floor already means that this kid's mental strength is much stronger than an ordinary initial rank three Arcana Master." Qiu Chou, who was originally calm, suddenly laughed out loud.

The mental pressure on the fifth floor of the Soul Curse Tower was extremely strong. Even the surrounding air seemed to have solidified. After reaching the fifth floor, Su Yang and the other two were no longer as relaxed as they were on the fourth floor.

Among them, Su Yang and Zhou Yi frowned slightly. However, they still walked forward with their heads held high. However, their speed was much slower, as if they were taking a stroll.

As for Su Qi, who was slightly weaker, her speed was much slower than the other two. Although she could still walk, it was rather strenuous for her. It was obvious that the pressure on the fifth floor was a clear hindrance to Su Qi.

"Little sister!

How do you feel? "Su Yang also noticed Su Qi's condition. He stopped slightly and asked with a frown.

"It's alright!

Big brother, you go first. I can still hold on.

If you can become the champion of the Arcana Ceremony this time, you will be able to obtain the rank four Yuan array. That thing is incomparably important to you! "Su Qi's pretty face was slightly pale, but she still smiled at Su Yang.

"Brother and sister are really close. However, that rank four Yuan array does not necessarily belong to your brother. It should belong to me, Zhou Yi!" Zhou Yi slowly walked forward and coldly smiled.

Su Yang nodded at Su Qi. Then, he coldly glanced at Zhou Yi and indifferently said, "Brother Zhou Yi, are you really so confident that you can become the champion this time?

However, I can regretfully tell you that you have no chance at all. "

"No chance at all?

Brother Su, your words are too full of yourself. There is not much difference between our strengths. How can I not have a chance? "Zhou Yi sneered.

However, the smile on Zhou Yi's face quickly froze. This was because an extremely powerful mental strength suddenly surged out from Su Yang's body. This mental strength far surpassed Zhou Yi's own.

"This mental strength?

What the hell, Su Yang, you actually made a breakthrough? "After regaining his senses, Zhou Yi's cheeks flushed red as he could not help but exclaim.

"I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough a month ago. Brother Zhou Yi, do you think that with your rank three advanced mental strength, you have the qualifications to compete with me for the rank four Yuan array?"

Su Yang disdainfully glanced at Zhou Yi. Then, he took large strides and directly rushed towards the stairs in the corner. His perfect third grade mental strength surged out and immediately suppressed the mental strength pressure on the stairs. Then, Su Yang unceremoniously left the fifth floor and entered the sixth floor.

"Damn it!

Damn it!

Su Yang actually made a breakthrough. "Zhou Yi was stunned for half a second. Then, he angrily stomped his foot and fiercely cursed.

Su Qi, who was behind Zhou Yi, coldly smiled and said rather mockingly, "I've already said that the champion of this Arcane Ceremony will definitely be my big brother, Su Yang. You have no chance at all."

Looking at the mocking smile on Su Qi's pretty face, Zhou Yi's expression became even uglier. At the same time, he sighed in his heart. He knew that since Su Yang's mental strength had already advanced to the level of a perfect third grade, there was no doubt that he would be the champion of this Arcane Ceremony.

"Your An City Arcane Guild has really hidden your strength well. In the past, you've always been quiet. I didn't expect you to have two disciples at the level of a perfect third grade. Moreover, Su Yang has even reached the level of a perfect third grade!

But forget it. Against Su Yang, who is at the level of a perfect third grade, I have no chance of winning at all. I'll just stay on this floor and absorb the power of comprehension inside! "

Zhou Yi sighed. After knowing that he had no chance of winning, Zhou Yi appeared somewhat dejected. Then, he directly sat cross-legged on the ground and simply began to cultivate.

Buzz!

At this moment, a fluctuation suddenly transmitted from the entrance of the fifth floor. This fluctuation was like a ripple in the water, spreading in all directions and immediately attracted the attention of Zhou Yi and Su Qi.

"This fluctuation?

Could it be that someone else has entered the fifth floor? "Su Qi was the first to react. Then, she realized something and suddenly looked toward the entrance.

Zhou Yi was obviously attracted by this fluctuation. He frowned slightly, twisted his neck, and cast his gaze toward the entrance of the fifth floor.

A slender figure slowly stepped out from the entrance. His body was tightly wrapped by a hurricane-like mental strength. As soon as this figure appeared at the entrance, he looked around and began to size up the surrounding environment.

"Zhuowen?

How is that possible? He's just a third grade lower stage arcanist. How did he enter the fifth floor? "After seeing the figure clearly, Su Qi's beautiful eyes shrank and she could not help but exclaim.

"No, what a powerful mental strength. This mental strength has already reached the level of a third grade upper stage. This Zhuowen is actually a third grade upper stage arcanist!" Zhou Yi's eyes were sharp. At a glance, he sensed the powerful mental strength on Zhuowen's body.
