Chapter 62 Strength Unleashed: Third Floor

Chapter 62 Strength Unleashed: Third Floor

Long Tian strolled towards the next trial after enjoying some time at the bar. Along the way, he passed by various entertainments that piqued his interest, but he brushed those distractions aside, determined to refocus on his objective.

The second floor presented stricter qualifications—a strength of 10,000kg was required to advance to the third level. This criterion equated to the power of an average cultivator at the peak of the Body Tempering realm or the early stages of the Qi Foundation realm. As a result, this level attracted only those who were genuinely skilled cultivators.

The area on the second floor was more expansive than the first, and a larger audience had gathered. As Long Tian arrived at the scene, he noticed around 50 individuals gathered around a massive stone. He proceeded to approach the stone, sensing the atmosphere charged with anticipation.

At that moment, a man in his thirties, dressed in oriental Jiu Jitsu attire, stood before the stone. With his fist clenched and a blue aura enveloping it, he struck the stone with force.

Bang!

The stone vibrated from the impact, yet it remained unscathed. Moments later, text appeared on a screen above: [Strength: 8988kg]

The man's face turned grim, and suddenly, the floor beneath him trembled before giving way, causing him to plunge back down to the first level.

Amused murmurs filled the air.

"Haha, that's the third person who failed on the second floor. They all end up back on the first floor."

"Well, the requirements to reach the third floor are quite outrageous. To possess purely physical strength exceeding 10,000kg is nearly impossible for ordinary cultivator. That man had a striking force of over 8900; he's undoubtedly strong."

"You're right, we mustn't underestimate him."

Conversations buzzed as Long Tian joined the onlookers. Another individual stepped forward to attempt the trial.

This time, a handsome man in his twenties caught his attention. With sword-like eyebrows and an air of nobility, it was clear he hailed from a prestigious family. Long Tian recognized him instantly; he was Feng Yuhao, the young master of the Feng family—an esteemed ancient lineage, like him. Long Tian watched him calmly, arms crossed.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuhao focused intently on the stone. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, honing in on its prey. In the next moment, he struck the stone with his palm.

Bam!

While the stone merely trembled from the impact, no one anticipated the outcome that followed.

Text flashed on the screen: [Strength: 17,999kg]

A gasp swept through the crowd. A seemingly modest strike had yielded tremendous force. The silence was broken by murmurs of disbelief at the staggering figure.

Feng Yuhao grinned, having anticipated this outcome due to the potency of his chosen technique.

In a matter of moments, an unknown force lifted him, transporting him to the third floor. Cheers erupted at this achievement.

"Wow, someone actually made it to the third floor. 17,999kg... that punch could destroy a house."

"That's not surprising. He's Feng Yuhao from the Feng family—one of the ancient families. Clearly, he's incredibly talented."

"It makes sense; no wonder he's so powerful."

Admiration filled the air for Feng Yuhao. In contrast, Long Tian remained composed. Feng Yuhao's attack might have appeared feeble, but he had targeted the stone's interior. His technique was Stone Breaker, highly effective against solid objects.

Drawing closer to the stone, Long Tian intended to take his turn. Some noticed him and refrained from interference due to the golden bracelet on his wrist—a badge of his successful attempt.

As Long Tian approached, a muscular, bald-headed man in a monk's attire approached first. He noticed Long Tian and politely inquired with a soft tone, "May I try before you?"

"Sure, go ahead," Long Tian nodded.

"Amithaba, may Buddha bless you," the man smiled.

With that, he focused on the stone, assumed a stance and his palm began to emit a golden glow. Then, he struck the stone.

Bam!

The resonant sound echoed, causing the stone to vibrate from the force of his palm. Soon after, text appeared on the screen above: [Strength: 24,766kg]

The onlookers were even more astonished. The monk's strength surpassed Feng Yuhao's, an impressive feat in itself.

Long Tian was also taken aback. Judging by the man's appearance, he seemed to be a monk—perhaps from the Tathagata Temple, one of the strongest factions.

Shortly after, he too was lifted by an enigmatic force, ascending to the third floor. His expression remained humble as he ascended, uttering, "Amithaba."

Long Tian grinned. The spirits of competition within him flared brighter in the presence of these two powerful individuals—Feng Yuhao and the mysterious monk. Their strength ignited his competitive spirit.

Approaching the stone, Long Tian readied himself to strike. Conversations about him swirled in the background.

"Look, someone's going to try. Let's see if he'll surpass or fall short of the monk."

"He looks quite young; I'm not so sure."

"Let's find out."

Amid these discussions, Long Tian prepared to strike the stone.

However, just as he was about to deliver his blow, a middle-aged man approached, halting him.

"Are you certain, son? You can still save your chance for later. Train harder and return here. There's no need to be embarrassed; many young people do the same," he advised.

"I'm certain, don't worry about it," Long Tian replied confidently.

The man sighed and nodded, "Very well then."

Long Tian understood the man's concerns. Each individual had only one opportunity to undertake the strength-testing trial. Hence, many refrained from striking the stone immediately, opting to train further and return when they were confident of success.

However, Long Tian's confidence in his current strength was unshakable. His dual martial spirits, combined with the demonic power and the star's energy, filled him with profound self-assurance.

His fist clenched, a red aura enveloped his knuckles, and with determination, he struck the stone.

Bang!

The resounding impact sent vibrations through the stone. Shortly after, text appeared on the screen: [Strength: 25,788kg]

Everyone was stunned by this display. Numerous eyes widened in disbelief. Long Tian's strength surpassed even that of the enigmatic monk, exceeding 25,000kg.

"Unbelievable, over 25,000kg?! Am I hallucinating?"

"It's not surprising; he's Long Tian, the young master of the Long family. I heard he's incredibly talented, even more so than Feng Yuhao."

"Young master of the Long family? No wonder he's so strong. I thought he was just a nobody."

Expressions of surprise and admiration abounded. It turned out that some people recognized Long Tian.

The middle-aged man who had advised Long Tian earlier was also astonished. He felt as though he, an ordinary individual, had imparted wisdom to a formidable cultivator.

Meanwhile, Long Tian grinned. He had not anticipated that the boost from his aura alone could amplify his strength to over 25,000kg. This was a far cry from his initial attempt on the first floor, which had yielded a mere 3,000kg.

Moments later, he too ascended to the third floor through the mysterious force, his expression determined and competitive spirit ablaze.
