WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 139: Entering the Seventh Level

Lin Dong's appearance caused Zi Yue to be startled for quite a while before she gradually regained her wits. He looked at Lin Dong, who was walking step by step towards the wall of Mental Energy, who was refusing the trip to the seventh level, and he could not help but open his mouth to speak: "The seventh level is not so easy to enter, you should know how far you are!”

From the very beginning, Zi Yue had always believed that Lin Dong's abilities were most similar to her. Since he had just suffered so much under that wall of Mental Energy, in his opinion, even if Lin Dong was able to reach this level, he would only end up like him in the end.

"Oh."

In response to Zi Yue's warning, Lin Dong calmly admitted it, before his footsteps stopped in front of the Mental Energy wall. His eyes slowly closed as the two Fate Soul Symbols within his Niwan Palace began to tremble violently. Part of the powerful Mental Energy gushed out endlessly before finally condensing on the surface of Lin Dong's body.

After finishing this, Lin Dong did not hesitate as he stepped forward. Under Zi Yue's nervous gaze, she stepped onto that wall of Mental Energy.

“Buzz buzz!”

As Lin Dong stepped forward, the walls of Mental Energy trembled violently as a strange humming sound once again resounded, while fierce resistance pushed him from all directions, trying to catapult Lin Dong out.

“Huh!”

Faced with the thrusting force of that Mental Energy wall, Lin Dong's expression became a little serious. Immediately after, under Zi Yue's stunned gaze, she snorted as her body, which was slightly leaning backwards, once again straightened itself before she slowly advanced onto the Mental Energy wall in slow motion, giving a slow motion, but it is stable like the speed of a mountain.

“Ci!”

As Lin Dong walked inch by inch, ripples formed on the surface of the Mental Energy wall. In the end, the ripples became increasingly violent as Lin Dong's figure slowly disappeared under the waves of ripples.

"He succeeded…"

Zi Yue stared at Lin Dong's back which slowly disappeared as an irresistible shock appeared on her cold yet beautiful face. He was somewhat dazed as he stared at the empty space in front of the Mental Energy wall. It was a long while later before he finally recovered as he muttered: "How is this possible ..."

From the start, he had always thought that even though Lin Dong had some ability, it did not exceed his own. Therefore, he felt a little annoyed when grandmaster Yan suddenly introduced him. However, this way of thinking finally completely disappeared after he personally witnessed Lin Dong successfully entering the seventh level.

Only now did he understand that grandmaster Yan indeed had a reason for what he was doing. Lin Dong's abilities were truly stronger than his!

"This guy!"

As she faced the facts, no matter how cold and proud Zi Yue was, she had no choice but to admit that this realization caused her to feel a little disappointed. A while later, he gradually recovered his clarity as he softly sighed, before he immediately sat down. Since he was unable to enter the seventh level, he would be cultivating here. As for the final outcome of this Tower Battle, everything depended on Lin Dong.

"I hope you can surpass Zhou Tong ..."

…

Outside the Symbol Master Tower, when Zhou Tong entered the seventh level, a chorus of cheers rang out throughout the empty space. Yan Xuan and the Symbol Master of Yan City had twisted expressions on their faces, while excitement was revealed on Han Yun's face as he stroked his beard.

"Hehe, Yan Xuan, it seems like the victor of this Tower Battle has already been decided." Yun Han looked towards grandmaster Yan with a laugh.

After hearing this, although the Symbol Master from Yan City felt anger in their hearts, they were unable to refute him. For the past few years, this was the first time someone had ascended to the seventh level. If nothing unexpected happened this time, the chances of losing their Yan City Symbol Guild Master were greater.

“Do not celebrate too early.”

Grandmaster Yan coldly retorted before his gaze was once again fixed on the two points of light at the sixth level. He knew that the two points of light were Zi Yue and Lin Dong. As the teacher of Zi Yue, she clearly understood her abilities, and she knew that it would be very difficult for her to enter the seventh level. Hence, he could only put all his hopes on Lin Dong…

"Lin Dong, everything really depends on you now ..."

Grandmaster Yan sighed in his heart. If they were defeated this time, the Symbol Master Tower would be transferred to the Sky Fire City. At that time, the prestige of their Yan City Symbol Master Guild would plummet.

As he stared at Grandmaster Yan's furrowed brows, the excitement in Han Yun's eyes deepened. He could already imagine how majestic it was when he brought the Master Symbol Tower back to the Sky Fire City.

"One of the points of light on the sixth level has disappeared!"

While Han Yun was feeling happy in his heart, a cry suddenly sounded. This cry caused him to be startled for a moment as his gaze was hurriedly directed to the sixth level. Sure enough, he saw that of the two light spots that were originally, only one remained.

After watching the speck of light disappear, Han Yun's first reaction was not to look to the next level. Instead, his gaze turned to the fifth level. However, when he saw that a speck of light did not appear there, his expression quickly changed. With a 'desir' voice, his gaze was directed to the seventh level. Surprised, he gazed to the seventh level as another speck of light slowly appeared!

"Other people have entered the seventh level!"

“Who is that guy? Is that Ziyu?”

After the commotion, many whispers sounded. Most of them guessed that it was Zi Yue. After all, he had quite a good reputation among the Symbol Masters of the younger generation of Yan City.

“It wasn't Ziyue. Zi Yue should not be able to enter the seventh level.” One of the middle-aged Symbol Masters of the third seal level muttered to himself for a while before declaring. They understood Zi Yue very well, and for one to enter the seventh level, one must possess at least the strength of the third seal Symbol Master. Even though Zi Yue was already very close to this level, she still could not truly match the third Symbol Master seal.

In the sixth level, other than Zhou Tong, who had managed to rise to the seventh level, there were only Zi Yue and Lin Dong. Since it wasn't Zi Yue, then…

"This is Lin Dong ?!"

The crowd looked at each other anxiously. Soon after, they inhaled a breath of cold air. They were no strangers to the youngster who had recently caused a storm in Yan City. They knew that this youngster was not even twenty yet, yet, he had successfully advanced to the early stages of Yuan Dan. This level of talent was somewhat surprising. However, what they never expected was that the latter had not only achieved incredible achievements in Yuan Power, even his cultivation of Mental Energy.

"This kid is amazing!"

The crowd turned to look at each other when the same sentence appeared simultaneously.

“How is that possible him?” Han Yun also heard their words. When he realized that the person who had ascended to the seventh level was not Zi Yue, but rather Lin Dong, whom he had never appreciated, his eyelids started twitching violently.

No matter how hard he tried, he did not understand how the young man standing beside Zi Yue was like a supporting player, actually being able to match Zhou Tong!

“Haha, Han Yun. This old man already told you not to count your chickens before hatching.” On one side, grandmaster Yan finally heaved a sigh of relief as he said with a smile.

“Huh, what to be happy about? Even if the child could forcefully ascend to the seventh level, it was likely a coincidence. After a few days, he would not be able to withstand the pressure of Mental Energy from the seventh floor!” Han Yun laughed coldly.

Grandmaster Yan gently smiled, not bothering to argue as he stared at the two glowing dots on the seventh floor. Currently, the results of this match were on Lin Dong and Zhou Tong. Based on his understanding of the two, this victory was likely to be decided on the seventh floor. With regards to the eighth floor, based on their current strength, it would be quite affordable. Therefore, the match will likely be determined by who can last longer…

…

Symbol Master Tower, seventh floor.

Compared to the six floors below, the area here seemed slightly smaller. The terrifying Mental Energy Waves were so concentrated within this level that it felt like a viscous liquid. Therefore, the Mental Energy pressure here was also amplified several times.

“Dong!”

On the quiet seventh floor, extremely dense footsteps sounded. When one looked up, one would see that a figure of the body was now stepping forward at a very slow speed, like an old bull pulling a rickshaw.

His footsteps were very tight. The sensation felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. Every time he took a step, an extremely soft creaking sound echoed from within his body. Meanwhile, sweat flooded his body like a flood, causing his clothes to be completely drenched.

This figure was Zhou Tong, who had ascended to the seventh floor earlier. He was the strongest member of the younger generation in the Sky Fire City Symbol Master Guild. Furthermore, half a year ago, he had successfully advanced to the third stage of the Symbol Master of the seal. Nonetheless, the Mental Energy power exerted by the seventh floor caused him to feel an overwhelming pressure. Every step he took was like a massive battle.

"Yan City's Symbol Master is rather ordinary."

Zhou Tong wiped away the sweat on his face as a faint smile appeared. As the legendary figure of Sky Fire City, even though he looked ordinary, the pride in his heart would not lose in the slightest to others. Hence, for this trip to Yan City, his first goal was to help Sky Fire City win this Symbol Master Tower, while the second, was, was to discover if there were any outstanding individuals in the Symbol Master Guild of Yan City. However, the final result left him a little disappointed, it seemed like no one could stop his pace.

"Among the young generation Symbol Master in Tiandu province, maybe I can only recognize that man from Tiandu City."

As he recalled the person he had only met once before, Zhou Tong's brows furrowed slightly. Immediately, he shook his head and decided to forget about the person who made him feel a little depressed. Then, he raised his head as he stared at the Mental Energy barrier that stood only a hundred steps away from him. However, this short distance was like an abyss that was impossible to cross.

"Now, the outcome should have been decided, right?"

Zhou Tong softly muttered to himself. Just as he finished speaking, his ears suddenly shook as somewhat heavy footsteps sounded silently from behind him and entered his ears.

These sudden footsteps caused Zhou Tong's pupils to shrink. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly turned his head, only to see a figure appear before his eyes.

When he focused, the figure also raised his head. On the face of the somewhat young man, there was sweat, as well as unwavering determination.

"This is it .. how is this possible?"

As he looked at the young man, who was slowly walking over, bit by bit, a storm slowly appeared in Zhou Tong's heart …
