WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 143: Master Symbol of the third seal

While the outside world was preoccupied with the Battle Tower, the eighth level of the Symbol Master Tower remained calm and peaceful. Lin Dong's figure was silent like a statue as he sat in front of the stone tablet.

Although Lin Dong did not move in the slightest, an extremely powerful suction force filled the air around his body. Under this suction force, the extremely powerful Mental Energy waves at the eighth level were all sucked in before endlessly pouring Niwan Palace into Lin Dong's mind.

Ten days. Ever since he stepped onto the eighth floor, Lin Dong had stayed here for ten days. During these ten days, he could actually sense it as his Mental Energy grew rapidly.

These ten days were short, but, to Lin Dong, it was comparable to almost half a year of cultivating outside.

Of course, this was naturally because his Fate Soul Symbol turned into a Soul Symbol vortex. That terrifying devouring power was even able to swallow the pressure of the Mental Energy that filled the air, and finally turned it into the powerful Mental Energy stored in his Niwan Palace.

After ten days, Lin Dong was clearly able to sense that his Mental Energy was rapidly approaching the third seal stage. According to this speed, it wouldn't be long before he could actually break through to the third stage Symbol Master seal!

This kind of speed could only be described with one word: terrifying. After all, even grandmaster Yan had said that even if Lin Dong was able to enter the eighth level, it was not, the former could only guarantee that the latter would rise to the level of the third seal Symbol Master within half a year. However, at this time ... Lin Dong had actually shortened this time by more than ten times!

Although most of the praise was given to the Fate Soul Symbol, this speed was indeed too terrifying.

As time passed, the figure sitting in front of the stone tablet suddenly shook slightly. Immediately after, Lin Dong's tightly shut eyes slowly opened, deep within those eyes, a light fluttered.

After opening his eyes, Lin Dong muttered to himself for some time before gesturing with his hand as lines of Mental Energy burst forth from his Niwan Palace. Mental Energy quickly gathered in the air and finally faintly formed. As the lines flashed through the air, they gradually formed into an array of mysterious and profound symbols that were several feet in size.

Lin Dong's gaze was fixed tightly on the array of symbols that were slowly forming. During these ten days, he had failed many times. Trying to utilize Mental Energy to draw such a complex array of symbols was not only extremely demanding for the control of Mental Energy, but, one could not be bothered in the slightest. Or else, even the smallest mistake would lead to the complete destruction of one's previous efforts.

Fortunately, after experiencing countless failures, Lin Dong became increasingly adept at drawing array symbols. As he drew the array of symbols, it no longer looked as amateurish as before…

Under Lin Dong's full attention, the structure of the symbol array slowly formed in the air. A long time later, his final steps finally perfected it ...

"Buzz!"

By the time the array of symbols was successfully created, a strange buzzing sound immediately shook throughout the entire eighth level. Next, an extremely powerful surge of Mental Energy shot out from the array of symbols.

"The Mental Energy Wave is so powerful!"

As he sensed the waves spreading from within the array of symbols, Lin Dong could not help but move. Is this the strength of a Qi level Secret Spirit Skill? To think that it is strong to such a degree.

If Lin Dong was proficient in the 'Array Symbol Manifestation' before the decisive battle with Wei Tong, he was absolutely certain that he caused the latter to lose even the strength to resist the attack!

After sensing the power of the 'Array Symbol Manifestation', Lin Dong was very pleased. Immediately after, he waved his hand as the array of symbols floating in the air quickly shrank before turning into a formless glowing shadow that shot into Lin Dong's eyes.

For this type of symbol array, as long as it was successfully constructed once, it would be able to become a seed-like array of symbols. When fighting with others in the future, one no longer needed to build with great difficulty and caution from the very beginning. As long as this seed-like array of symbols were summoned, and infused with Mental Energy, it would quickly form for battle. However, if an array of symbols like seeds were forcibly spread by someone, it involved the user's body, causing some injuries to appear. Overall, it would be a person's strength and weakness.

After the array of symbols entered his eyes and stored in his Niwan Palace, Lin Dong finally gently sighed in relief. After practicing non-stop during this period, he could at least gain minimal mastery of this 'Manifestation Symbol Array. As long as he continued to train in the future, this would definitely be his ultimate killing move.

And after completing this 'Manifestation Symbol Array' training, Lin Dong was finally able to focus all his attention on cultivating Mental Energy.

Sitting in front of the stone tablet, Lin Dong rested and rearranged himself for a while before his mind sank into his Niwan Palace. Right now, a powerful Mental Energy rippled in his Niwan Palace. The two Soul Symbol whirlpools revolved nonstop as endless streams of pure Mental Energy flowed from the outside world before finally flowing into the vortex.

In response to the endless stream flowing in, the Soul Symbol vortex was like a bottomless hole that could not be filled. However, as his master, Lin Dong was able to sense that an extremely powerful Mental Energy was condensing within the Soul Symbol vortex. When the Soul Symbol vortex completely stopped, perhaps, the time would come for him to successfully advance to become the third seal Symbol Master…

As he observed the Soul Symbol vortex, moments later, Lin Dong suddenly realized that he could not interfere much. The Soul Symbol Swirl was completely independent when it operated. Even if he did not intentionally urge him, the vortex would still spin tirelessly, absorbing the boundless Mental Energy of the eighth level …

Towards this, Lin Dong could only somewhat helplessly scratch his head. He picked up the biscuits from his Qiankun bag and quickly devoured them before closing his eyes. This ten days training made him understand how mystical this place was. Since he had climbed with great difficulty, he naturally needed to get the value of his money before leaving.

So, while Lin Dong was carrying this thought, ten days once again quietly passed without his notice.

Originally, in regards to the fact that Lin Dong was able to last for ten days at the eighth level, grandmaster Yan and the others were already very shocked. Everyone knew how strong the Mental Energy pressure of the eighth level, being able to last for three or four days there was already quite amazing. However, Lin Dong had spent ten whole days there without any sign of going down.

However, this shock gradually turned numb as time went on. Especially when they counted until the twentieth day of breaking the record, their faces no longer contained the slightest bit of astonishment. At this moment, if someone else told them that Lin Dong was ready to spend his entire life there, they would probably nod their heads stiffly.

…

Outside the tower, grandmaster Yan raised his head and stared at the speck of light on the eighth level. He stroked his neck as he asked: "It's already the twenty-fourth day, does this fellow really have no intention of going down?"

"The Mental Energy Pressure in the tower was getting stronger and stronger, how could that person bear it?" Beside him, Zi Yue furrowed her pitch-black brows as she said in a daze.

"Who knows…"

Grandmaster Yan laughed bitterly. Although he was somewhat confident in Lin Dong, he never expected that Lin Dong would be able to reach the eighth level and even stay there for more than twenty days. During these years, very few could stay in the Symbol Master Tower of Yan City for more than twenty days, in particular, that lasted for over twenty days in the eighth level was as rare as a phoenix feather or unicorn horn.

In the future, this existence would become the most famous and top-tier expert in the Great Yan Empire …

“Could something have happened?” Zi Yue was a little worried as she asked.

After hearing these words, grandmaster Yan's expression slightly changed, he fell silent for a while before he replied: “I doubt so. Let's wait another two days, if there are still no signs of Lin Dong appearing, I will personally go and see him. *Sigh*, the Mental Energy pressure in Symbol Master Tower is too strong, even I don't dare to take it for granted.”.

Zi Yue lightly nodded her head. Just as she was about to speak, her beautiful face suddenly changed as she quickly raised her head. Her beautiful eyes were concentrated at the eighth level of the Symbol Master Tower, there, she suddenly felt a surge of extremely powerful Mental Energy!

"This is Lin Dong's Mental Energy wave!"

Grandmaster Yan also sensed it as he raised his head to stare at the eighth level of the Symbol Master Tower. His gaze turned a little serious as he slowly said: "This guy ..no wonder he refused to go down for so long. It turned out that he wanted to break through to the third seal Symbol Master stage at once!”

"How is that possible?"

Zi Yue immediately said vigilantly. Although the Symbol Master Tower had an extremely powerful effect on the condensation of Mental Energy, after all it was not at an earth-shattering level. How could it allow one to break through from the second seal to the third seal stage in less than a month?!

“That's impossible, but, it's true. However, whether he succeeds, it is still difficult to say ... "Grandmaster Yan laughed bitterly. That Mental Energy Wave couldn't possibly be wrong, it did belong to Lin Dong.

While the two were speaking, the Mental Energy waves that spread from the eighth level became increasingly powerful. In the end, even grandmaster Yan seemed a little touched. This type of undulation was unlike the usual third seal of Symbol Master. This guy really has some secrets.

…

While grandmaster Yan and the others were amazed by the surge of Mental Energy spreading out, at the eighth level, a huge change occurred in Lin Dong's Niwan Palace. Originally the two Vortex Soul Symbols had fused together as a wave of extremely formidable Mental Energy spread out from within the vortex.

“Buzz buzz!”

As the Mental Energy wave spread out, the fused Soul Symbol vortex also quickly distorted. A moment later, it turned into a profound and mysterious light symbol. Two cracks appeared on the light symbol and immediately after, it enlarged before finally breaking apart, and turned into three smaller Soul Symbols, which floated within Niwan Palace.

"explosion!"

As soon as the three Fate Soul Symbols appeared, it was as if a raging Mental Energy storm had suddenly appeared in Lin Dong's Niwan Palace. Strong waves spread from within Niwan Palace before finally attacking every part of Lin Dong's body.

All the muscles and bones in Lin Dong's body started to tremble. His tightly shut eyes suddenly opened, within those eyes, a surge of Mental Energy that seemed to have substance exploded. A sharp hiss carried this tyrannical Mental Energy and like a volcano, it erupted!

When that extremely tyrannical Mental Energy exploded, under the Symbol Master Tower, both grandmaster Yan and Zi Yue lightly inhaled a breath of cold air as they muttered: "This person ... he really did it ..."
