The Shadow Dragon Warrior
chap 75 - Torture No Tara
After his recovery was complete, ryuji immediately rushed away. At first he had no intention of carrying the frog, but ryuji felt he might come in handy later.
After going through the cave, ryuji to a very high staircase, maybe the stairs amounted to about 300 stairs. Ryuji who was afraid of being bullied again like when fighting the illusion of my new frog, looked around. But after a long time observed, there is nothing strange in the place around the stairs.
"It seems there are no enemies here. Am I in luck? besides this frog I've been locked up in my mini fire pagoda, where I might escape. Go straight up the stairs," murmured ryuji.
Ryuji stepped up the stairs. However, when just climbing one rung of stairs ryuji's body is already very heavy. It was as if there was a gravitational field pressing down on him.
Because the gravitational field was strong enough, ryuji was restrained on the first rung of the stairs.
"Uuhhkkkkkk....why did it come - so heavy? damnit....!!!" ryuji said annoyed and tried to move one of his legs to climb the second rung.
However, do not try to move your feet to the next step of the ladder. Ryuji could not even lift his legs. Irritated by being held back by a rung of stairs, ryuji used natural energy to strengthen his strength and tried to step onto the second rung.
"HIATTT....!!".
With all his strength, ryuji managed to tread on the second rung of the stairs. And it turns out that the gravitational field on the second rung is stronger. Ryuji was again - again upset by being played by the stairs.
After so much use of his natural energy and physical strength, ryuji made it to the fifth step and still had 295 steps left. Ryuji felt he would reach the top of the stairs after the age of 70. However, Ryuji only realized that every 50 steps there was a place to stand on while and there was a big stone on the edge.
"Oh it turns out that makes this ladder good as well yes, every 50 steps there is a place of rest to recover energy on the big rock," murmured ryuji a little pleased.
However, even though there is a place to recover the energy, ryuji must pass 45 steps first.
For some time ryuji tried to pass through each rung that has a gravitational field that continues to increase in pressure.Making it in addition to using natural energy, making ryuji must also use his strength to suppress the gravitational field. As a result, Ryuji has climbed the thirty stairs and left 20 more steps. However, due to being too focused on the steps, Ryuji does not realize that he has developed and his strength increases. Moreover, his tiers rose to the level of an early 4-star master.
"Is he really ryuki's successor? he's even so silly. He does not realize that the ladder is a ladder that can train the self-control of a swordsman, but this foolish child does not realize at all" said zee ling was annoyed with ryuji's stupidity.
"Have it, after all, he was young to understand everything in this world" said ya ling advising.
For 1 day 1 night ryuji finally finished the fifty steps and laid his body because much of his strength was drained a lot. However, his strength felt even more formidable than before entering into the demon gate. After trying to meditate to recover his strength, ryuji only realized there was some kind of seal formation along the stairs. It seemed like there was a great swordsman who placed the seal formation along the stairs for the training ground. And without feeling his body ryuji feels fitter and his internal organs feel healthier. In fact, his cultivation point was open to almost everything.
"Wahh. So grandfather at that time looked stocky and fit due to passing this ladder huh? why did he get poison? is there something at the top of the stairs?" ryuji was confused.
After a few hours, Ryuji woke up and stretched all the muscles of his body to continue his steps.
"There's 250 more, huh? if everything is just a gravitational field, at least it only takes 5 days to reach the top," said ryuji confidently.
Despite the remaining 250 steps, Ryuji did not know what he would experience later. Ryuji set his foot on the fifty-first step. However, it was different from the previous stairs. The stairs are now like being in a hot lava. Even Ryuji's legs were burning and his entire body was also feeling the heat.
"What the fuck is this? the test was different from the one before," murmured ryuji in pain.
Ryuji who was not strong, finally retreated and did not continue for a while. Because his leg was really injured due to the hot lava.
"Is that not an illusion? if not, how can I get through?" ryuji was confused.
Ryuji is thinking of using the ice wave style as his path. However, ryuji himself was not sure whether his plan would work or not. But ryuji felt he had to do anything to get out of the place.
"If you don't try, you won't know. Ice waves..!!".
Ryuji instantly turned the steps into ice. However, the rungs of the ladder instantly melted the ice covering the rungs. Ryuji felt the time to melt his ice was about 1 minute.
"Straight waves of ice turned out to be able to hold the lava, but could not hold it for long. What am I supposed to do?" thought ryuji hard.
Ryuji who, despite having a high level, still has a power limit. If you want to climb the fifty steps it takes 5 - 7 minutes to get there without obstacles. Therefore, he must also make ice waves as much as 5-7 every one minute.
However, from the previous test the rungs of the ladder contained the pressure of the gravitational field, each ascending rung of the ladder there was a difference in strength to stop the person riding.
"Areally what would be harder to test at the top of that ladder? how am I supposed to get through here? what can I do? the ice waves are not an easy move. That move requires a lot of energy. How'this? if forced I can only make ice waves as much as 4 - 5 times. Meanwhile, to reach the hundredth stage it takes 5 - 7 ice waves every minute.
Will ryuji find a way to pass the test? will he fail and die there?
The cultivation point is useful for raising the level of a self-controller from spirit level to master, master to legend, legend to god. But opening the cultivation point was not as easy as one imagined. Therefore, in the time of ryuji was born no one has touched the level of legend. If one wanted to rise to the level of a legend, one would have to unlock all of his cultivation points.
