Eventually the golden dragon stopped increasing in size and Lin Fan knew that he had reached his limit for this floor.
Once he was done, he did the same thing as before, but this time he made sure that Angela knew to cover her ears.
When his fist came out, the golden energy surrounding his fist was much more dense compared to before and the roaring was even stronger. Lin Fan could tell that as long as he continued absorbing the Dragon Might, it would eventually push him into a Platinum Realm and become a partial law.
As for what law it would become, he had no idea.
Once he was done testing the might of this golden dragon, Lin Fan turned to Angela who looked a bit annoyed since it was louder this time. After apologizing and promising to buy her more cakes once they got out, they moved up to the fifth floor.
…
"Holy shit, look at that! The two in first place are moving to the fifth floor!"
"How long has it been? It hasn't even been half an hour yet since they just arrived on the fourth floor and they're already reaching the fifth floor!"
"There's still close to eleven hours left and they've already almost reached the seventh floor to clear this trial! Where did these monsters come from?"
The moment the two hidden names reached the fifth floor, they immediately created a stir in the people outside watching.
Seeing how quickly these two progressed, there were some people who thought that this trial might seem easier than they had thought and wanted to try again. Also they saw that there were now five people who had reached the third floor.
Other than the two unknown gray cloaked people and Huo Yan, there was Yu Xiao, who was the Platinum Realm leader of the group who attacked the King Beast and an expert from the Western Continent.
That expert's name was Tyrant, he was considered the most powerful among the younger generation.
The reason why his name was Tyrant was because he was a tyrant who challenged everyone to combat and to this day, he dominated them all. There were even rumours that he challenged elders of smaller families and dominated them all too!
For those people who came from the same cities as the people who made it to the third floor, they all made plans to get closer to those people. This Inheritance Realm was a direct measure of one's talent, so those that placed near the top would definitely be the most talented members in their generation. As long as they approached them while they were still small families, they could become friends with a giant in the future.
Feng Yu was impatiently waiting when someone who was completely wrapped up in a black cloak came over. Feng Yu's eyes immediately lit up when he saw this person and he quickly asked, "Is it done?"
The black cloaked person gave a shrug and said, "I couldn't find him."
Feng Yu's eyes narrowed at this and he said in an angry voice, "What do you mean by that?"
The black cloaked person wasn't fazed at all, "I searched around based on the photo you gave me and I couldn't find the person."
Feng Yu turned back to the tower. He had seen Lin Fan earlier talking to Gao Fu Shuai and Wang Da Dong, so he knew for sure that Lin Fan had survived. Could it be that he was still stuck on the first floor trying to break through?
It never occurred to Feng Yu that the two on the top of the rankings would be Lin Fan and Angela, he had completely underestimated Lin Fan. Even though Lin Fan had killed his father who was in the Platinum Realm…
Still, there was nothing he could do since he couldn't force his way into Lin Fan's private room on the first floor.
It was only for the first floor, but the portal at the entrance sent one into the room they were first sent into and they began climbing from there.
So as long as Feng Yu thought that Lin Fan was in there, he would be unable to do a thing since he couldn't touch him. So the only thing Feng Yu could do now was wait.
…
On Wang Da Dong and Boss Gao's side, they were wondering about something.
Wang Da Dong asked, "Brother Gao, where do you think Brother Lin is? Do you think he's still trying to break through the first floor? I didn't see him on the second floor."
Boss Gao fell into thought before saying, "If my guesses are correct, Brother Lin and Sister Angela should be the two up top."
Wang Da Dong was surprised, "I can understand if Angela is, she downright scares me, but are you sure about Brother Lin?"
Boss Gao revealed a faint smile, "Brother Lin doesn't seem like it, he seems like he's a handsome playboy, but he's actually quite the serious person. He can make miracles happen when you least expect it. That's something I've experienced firsthand many times since I've come to know him."
Wang Da Dong could see the deep emotions in Boss Gao's smile and he said, "Hmm, it seems like you two have been through a lot together."
Boss Gao's smile became deeper, "More than you think. That's why I know it's always better to be Brother Lin's friend than his enemy." At that, he turned over to Feng Yu's group.
Just like how Feng Yu took note of them, they had also taken note of Feng Yu. They were just waiting for him to come now, but he never did.
After a moment of silence, Wang Da Dong said, "Well as his brothers, we can't put on too poor of a display. I'm heading back in."
After watching Wang Da Dong walk away, Boss Gao paused for a second before also heading towards the entrance.
He had depended on Lin Fan quite a bit and if he continued to drag his brother down, how could he call himself his brother?
As for Zi Ling, she noted this and shook her head.
Why were all men like this?
…
As time passed, more and more of the people stuck on the second floor reached the third floor. Most of them were the top experts of their respective continents and their total reached over twenty people.
Other than the two in gray cloaks that they didn't recognize, everyone naturally deviated into their groups respective to their continents.
Everyone was trying to get the best of each other.
But while they were competing, the two in gray cloaks suddenly stood up and headed to the staircase, moving up to the fourth floor.
Everyone just stared at them with cautious gazes. Just who were these two?
But they never received an answer as the two disappeared in front of them.
…
As for Lin Fan on the fifth floor, when the two stood up and headed to the fourth floor, it had been half an hour since he came to the fifth floor and he had already adapted to the pressure here.
This time he didn't test the power of the golden dragon since he had an idea of how powerful it was. He was certain that at this rate, as long as he reached the seventh floor, there was a chance he might break through to the Platinum Realm.
He had also thought about bringing out his pets, but the moment he did, none of them felt any pressure because of their bloodlines. The bloodline pressure of the Dragon Might didn't affect them at all since all of them had divine bloodlines.
So Lin Fan just called them back in and headed up to the sixth floor.
It was a cycle of cultivating and growing the golden dragon in his dantian before moving up to the next floor.
The sixth floor took a total of half an hour ago before he completely adapted to the pressure there.
Once that was done, he moved up to the seventh floor and there was a voice that rang out on the seventh floor.
"Congratulations, you two have qualified for the final trial."
"You may continue to climb this tower or you can wait for the final trial, but there is a special prize for those that reach the top of the tower."
Once they reached the seventh floor, their ranks on the board outside turned golden to signify that they had passed the trial, shocking everyone watching it.
These two had only taken close to two hours out of the possible twelve hours to finish this trial, what monsters were these!
Lin Fan's plan was to climb as high as he could anyway since it would help him break through, so he didn't plan on stopping here. As for Angela, she would follow Lin Fan since that was her plan to begin with.
And so, Lin Fan sat down to cultivate once again.
