The next day.
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
After coming out of Heiyuan's laboratory and successfully completing a day of study, Lin You went to the Magic Pressure Building as planned.
Even though he left quickly, one could still see people coming in and out from a distance.
But most of the people who show up are second graders.
There are quite a few first-year students, but there are hardly any students in the advanced classes.
The main reason for this is that Lin You did arrive early and set off as soon as school was over.
Even though he was learning psychic communication from Heiyuan and the classes were long, he went there early!
Like other people, classes start in the afternoon, but how can they have lunch or even skip lunch before going to class?
Besides, even if they wanted to do so, their instructor wouldn't allow it.
Although tutors can only accept one student at a time, don’t forget that they are also teaching the old students besides the new ones!
The third grade is okay, I am basically fully grown.
The second grade still takes up the most teaching time, and the classes start earlier than for freshmen.
It’s not that we neglect the freshmen, but rather that we reserve more time for them to make adjustments, and there is more time left after teaching.
Therefore, other people's school time would mostly be later than Lin You's.
Students in non-advanced classes do not have dedicated tutors, so they naturally have more private time.
Of course, although there are a lot of people, the situation is much better than the first day of school. At least there is no one queuing.
The location of the free zone is usually not bad.
But this time, Lin You didn’t care whether it was similar or not. His requirements became higher.
The free areas on the first two floors, including the paid area on the third floor which requires payment but has the same actual function, can no longer meet his needs.
What he had his eyes on was the fourth floor!
Walking quickly, Lin You soon arrived in front of the ancient tower-like building.
First, I glanced at the electronic bulletin board.
Just as imagined, there was a large vacancy on the fourth floor, with only eight people practicing there.
This is normal. The Magic Pressure Building is not open for a limited time. As long as there is a demand and points, you can come at any time, which means that there won't be too many people coming.
The grand occasion when new students enter the school is an exception.
The free area is usually empty on weekdays.
Therefore, the fees are not expensive in regular charging areas.
But unfortunately, starting from the fourth floor, it is no longer a regular charging area. The internal magic pressure is heavy, and both the quality and effect are said to have been greatly improved.
Correspondingly, the cost is much more expensive, calculated by the hour.
Charging 5 points for an hour is really a luxury, especially for newcomers.
In comparison, the Monster Training Ground is much cheaper, costing only 10 points per time, and 8 points for advanced students. Of course, there is a limit on the number of times.
Although the cost was high, Lin You didn't care as long as the effect was good. He walked over and said directly to the teacher on duty: "Teacher, I want to go to the fourth floor. Please register."
The middle-aged teacher said nothing, just nodded.
Lin You didn't say anything and directly injected magic power into the registration bulletin board in front of him, which could deduct the consumption automatically.
During this period, the middle-aged man's eyes fluctuated for a moment, and then he looked at Lin You with some surprise.
First-year student?
Freshmen running to the fourth floor? How can that be tolerated?
This teacher obviously didn't know Lin You, although he had seen him several times. But he was the guard here, and there were so many students of all grades coming in and out every day, how could he remember them all?
Those who can really remember it must be at least geniuses who have made a name for themselves in the school, such as students like Chen Yi.
Therefore, when he saw that such a freshman actually decided to go to the fourth floor, he immediately guessed that this was a student who had some strength among the freshmen but knew nothing about the Magic Pressure Building.
If you don't have some financial ability, you won't be willing to spend money like this.
Being willing to give up is not a bad thing, but being too ignorant can easily lead to problems.
"etc."
The middle-aged teacher couldn't help but call out to Lin You, reminding him, "Change to another floor. The fourth floor is a bit special. The magic pressure there is much more condensed than the previous floors. Although the effect is good, it is too much of a burden for a newcomer. You need to have at least 200 points of magic power to barely adapt, and the effect may not be much better. To adapt perfectly, you need to be at least at the level of a two-star apprentice. There's no need for you to go to that place now, and it will cost extra money."
Lin You was slightly startled. When he was called, he thought something big had happened, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
You wouldn't have guessed it, but this seemingly taciturn teacher is actually quite kind-hearted.
After all, even if no reminder is given, if an ordinary freshman goes to the fourth floor, even if he is bounced out by the huge pressure of magic power in a few seconds, there are good safety measures, so there will be no trouble, and the duel will be in vain.
Let me tell you what it means to pay for a lesson.
The teacher on duty is really conscientious in giving us a reminder.
Lin You also quickly expressed his gratitude and said with a smile: "Teacher, thank you for your trouble, but don't worry, my magic power has exceeded 200 points. I want to go to the fourth floor. I want to experience it well, not to mention the benefits. But thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention."
Already made a breakthrough?
The middle-aged teacher was a little surprised. It seemed that he did have some ability.
It hasn't been long since the school started, and his magic power has exceeded 200 points. He must be at least an advanced student, and one with relatively outstanding grades among the advanced students.
It is reasonable for such a student to have such an idea of trying it.
Although it's only a little over 200 points, it's still a bit of a waste to go to the fourth floor. It's still a long way from the 300-point magic standard for an apprentice two-star duelist who can perfectly withstand pressure. But he is a talented student with drive, so more experience is not a bad thing.
"Don't take it to heart."
The guard teacher nodded and said, "Register."
Magic infusion.
After completing the registration, Lin You stepped into the ancient tower.
…
The magic power weighed heavily on the interior of the building.
The environment is still the same. When I worked with Guo Rui before, I had been here several times and tricked some duel points. Now I am familiar with it.
Walk along the corridor, climb the ancient wooden stairs, and soon reach the second floor.
Then comes the paid third tier and eventually the fourth tier.
The path is no different.
Of course, this ancient wooden staircase looks ordinary, but it actually has an identification function and will identify permissions based on registration information.
Some people who registered on the second floor but went to the third floor without permission would be forcibly sent out of the Magic Pressure Building.
In addition to this, an additional penalty of 2 duel points will be imposed.
Although the fine is not too much, the punishment information will be recorded, which is undoubtedly a stain. If too many stains accumulate, it is possible to be expelled from the university!
There have been examples like this before.
It feels good to jump over the floor, but the consequences cannot be ignored.
These are explained and specially noted in the admission handbook.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people who have not read the manual carefully may get into trouble because of their playful nature.
Lin You also knew that crossing the level was not allowed, but he was currently a good student who followed the rules and had no such concerns.
Walking along the corridor on the fourth floor, you will soon see a place with the same structure as the free floor.
The difference is that this venue is obviously smaller, but with very few students, it seems more spacious.
The venue is a circular structure, with the outer layer being a resting area and the inner layer being a large training area.
At this moment, there were already five people in the field practicing.
The three people in the rest area were obviously attracted by someone in the venue, so they didn't pay any attention to or even noticed Lin You's arrival.
Of course, Lin You didn't notice their reaction at this time. After coming in, the first thing he observed was the interior of the venue.
But after looking at it for a while, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Let him see an 'acquaintance'.
This "acquaintance" was naturally not Lao Xia, Qi Yuxuan and other classmates, nor was he a freshman, but a sophomore, and a girl.
If I remember correctly, her name should be Hua Peiling.
She is the one who ranks at the top of the rising star list and is the only girl in the top ten.
I had just seen his photo on the advertising screen of the New Star Duel Arena the day before yesterday, so he still had an impression of it. I didn’t expect to see him here today.
And looking at the real person, she is obviously much prettier than in the photo.
Not only does it look good, but its cool temperament is also more prominent.
At this moment, she is in the venue, with her eyes closed, training silently. The heavy pressure of magic in the venue has obviously not affected her for the time being.
The other four people who were training also kept a considerable distance from her, keeping their distance from her. It was unclear whether they were dissuaded by her cold aura or for some other reason.
On the other hand, the three people outside the venue were obviously taking advantage of the break to "reasonably" admire the fair face of this icy beauty when she closed her eyes.
But although they were watching, they were not completely immersed in it. Some of them were distracted by Lin You who walked into the venue. However, two of them quickly turned back.
But there was another person who didn't care at first. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly looked back and froze.
This guy...isn't he that guy?
The one who defeated Zhu Hui at the New Star Duel Arena the day before yesterday and caused him to lose money!
After looking at it more carefully...it was really him!
After confirming Lin You's identity, this man hurriedly patted the two people beside him. The two looked at him with some dissatisfaction.
Why are you looking at a beautiful woman?
The man pointed at Lin You in the middle of the field and said quickly, "Look at that guy! He's the Lin You mentioned on the forum earlier. He's the one who made us second-year veterans so embarrassed. I even lost the duel point."
"Is that him?"
Upon hearing this, the two of them changed color again and looked at Lin You.
“It seems to be true!”
After looking at it for a while, I felt somewhat confirmed.
There are photos of Lin You captured on the forum. Although they are from a distance, the distance is not far now, and after some comparison, it is still easy to distinguish him.
After confirming their identities, the two did not seem to have any common hatred for the enemy.
They didn't lose points, and it was Zhu Hui who was embarrassed. It wasn't like they were defeated head-on by the first graders in a collective competition.
If that's the case, it would be extremely embarrassing.
But after a moment, the two suddenly realized something, looked at each other, and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
I almost forgot one thing!
This is the fourth floor of the Magic Pressure Building. How did he get here?
Magic power close to 300 points?
It's impossible no matter how you think about it, right?
"Perhaps it is."
Among the three, the one who lost the bet suddenly spoke softly. He had witnessed the match that day with his own eyes and knew what kind of cards Lin You had activated in the duel.
With all those cards accumulated, the mana consumption has undoubtedly approached or even reached 300 points.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the cards activated by Lin You have a magic recovery effect, which can temporarily expand the magic power to support such consumption.
But this possibility is low. Cards with magic recovery effects are still very rare. There was no such card among the cards Lin You activated that day.
"300 mana is too much, it's unrealistic. He probably just wanted to give it a try. With his ability, he can at least hold on for a bit. Although it's not worth it to spend five duel points just for this, I think he doesn't need a few duel points. 'Rookie King'! The rewards are generous!"
Speaking of this, the old student was quite envious.
At this time, Lin You also found a good position and began to withstand the pressure, but he was a little puzzled.
From the moment he walked in, he felt an invisible pressure enveloping him, and it was quite heavy.
Just looking at this feeling, it is indeed more stressful than the previous levels.
But the size seems to be very limited.
If the magic pressure in the previous layers is '10', then here, it is only about 12 or 13 at most.
The introduction in this admission brochure seems a bit exaggerated.
Although a person's ability to withstand pressure will increase with the improvement of magic power, Lin You does not think that the increase in his magic power is that great.
That's it.
At least, there shouldn't be such a big gap.
I felt a little strange in my heart, but it would be a crime to waste this precious time for cultivation!
Don’t think too much and just bear the pressure silently.
Ten minutes passed quickly during this resistance.
There are only two people left in such a huge venue!
Apart from Lin You, the other one is Hua Peiling.
During this period, the other four people had achieved the desired results in this pressure resistance and basically left.
There was only one person who had just finished training, walked out of the pressure field, and arrived at his destination.
As soon as I got there, I saw the three people there looking dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Aren’t you looking at beautiful women?
Why does he look so horrified?
If you don’t know, you might think that you have angered the Chinese girl. If that’s the case, you will be in trouble.
Thinking so, I walked closer and followed their gaze, but felt a little surprised.
Why does it look like he's looking at the other guy in the venue?
"Hey, guys, are you okay? What are you doing standing here like an idiot?"
Ding Kai couldn't help but ask out loud. The three of them were startled by his proactive questioning and barely came back to their senses.
When they saw it was Ding Kai, their expression changed slightly. They knew this person.
Students in the second-year advanced class!
Those who are guided by tutors may not be the strongest ones, but as long as they are independently guided by tutors, they are considered talented students who stand out in the grade.
One person quickly said, "Brother Ding, this is what happened. Did you see him?"
She glanced back in the direction he pointed, then quickly turned her head back again, becoming even more puzzled as she asked, "What's the problem?"
"He's a first-year!"
"First grade?"
Ding Kai was stunned. If it was just freshmen coming here for training, then it would be nothing. They had a lot of money and were willing to come here to experience it. It was their own business and there was nothing to say.
But the problem is, although I didn't pay much attention to it before, but if I remember correctly, the freshman should have been here for a while, not to mention more, but at least five or six minutes, right?
As if seeing the questioning flash in his eyes, the person who answered hurriedly said, "It's been more than ten minutes!"
"Ten minutes?!"
This time, Ding Kai was really shocked.
A freshman ran over here and endured the pressure for ten minutes. The most important thing is that looking at his calm face, it is obvious that he has not reached his limit.
It's really reached the limit, even if you want to pretend, you can't.
Making a fool of yourself is inevitable!
Of course, these old students are good at withstanding pressure, but they won’t push themselves to the limit for no reason, as it’s useless.
If you have to say it, it's probably just to exercise the illusory willpower.
In terms of actual effect, it is better to recover and practice a second time. That little bit of money is not a big deal.
Every time you withstand pressure, just do your best.
As for the level of these veterans, assuming they have reached the perfect pressure-resistant level of 300 points of magic power, they can probably only withstand this pressure for a little over ten minutes.
There are quite a few second-year students who fail to meet this standard.
For ordinary senior students, at this point in time when they have just entered the second grade, their scores are basically still hovering between 250 and 280 points.
"Brother Ding, have you read the news on the forum? He's the Rookie of the Year who defeated Zhu Hui the day before yesterday."
An old student added at the right time.
"Is that him?"
This time, Ding Kai was not too surprised. He did not go to the forum to check this matter, but just heard about it, but did not take it too seriously.
Since he is the Rookie of the Year, there is no need to make a fuss about beating an old student.
It’s just that the matter involves Chen Yi, the top of the Rising Star List, which makes people particularly concerned.
But today, Ding Kai really took it seriously and murmured, "I didn't expect him to be able to do this."
I simply decided not to leave, but stood where I was, quietly waiting for the result.
The same goes for the other three.
Hua Peiling, the icy beauty, was temporarily put aside.
It's not like they have nothing better to do than spend five duel points just to see beautiful women. Instead, they have already trained and are taking advantage of their free time to enjoy the beauty leisurely.
The fee you pay is one hour, which is calculated by the hour. If you leave early, you can't get the points back. In this case, it would be a shame not to watch it.
One minute...two minutes...five minutes!
Before she knew it, another five minutes had passed. By this time, Hua Peiling was frowning and sweating profusely.
After a moment, she opened her eyes.
She had entered the venue early and had been under tremendous pressure for a full half hour.
This time is quite astonishing!
In the entire second grade, there are no more than ten people who can persist to this point.
If she were to push herself to the limit, Hua Peiling could probably hold on for a few more minutes.
But that's not necessary.
She had successfully cleared all the magical debris from her body, and any further insistence would be futile.
Take a step forward.
She ignored Lin You, the last person left in the field, but when she reached the resting place on the periphery, she saw four people with increasingly dazed eyes.
He was about to scold, but seemed to have discovered something and stopped.
Not staring at her!
The anger disappeared, but some doubts remained.
She also noticed Ding Kai among the group. Although she couldn't remember his name, she vaguely thought he looked like her classmate.
That is, students in the advanced class.
Why now, he seems to be staring at something stupidly, standing here like a wooden chicken.
Thinking of something, he looked back.
Lin You was the only one in the venue, and it was obvious that everyone's reactions were because of him.
But who is he?
No impression at all.
At this time, several people were heard muttering.
"That's outrageous, outrageous. It's already been fifteen minutes, and you're saying he's new. I don't accept that!"
"Could Chen Yi have achieved this back then? I don't think so..."
"Is there even a need to ask? It's definitely impossible! Brother Ding, what do you think?"
"I really can't... What on earth is going on?!"
“…”
Listening to their conversation, Hua Peiling was stunned on the spot.
