Versatile Mage: Hell Starts, but the Shadow King

Chapter 34 Qualitative Ascension
"Dean!" The two seniors who were waiting at the entrance of the Three-Step Pagoda said respectfully.

Dean Xiao nodded with a kind smile, and then briefly told the two about Cheng Xiao's situation.

Originally, the two seniors were very curious about who could get Dean Xiao to lead the way personally.

Hearing each other's names, they looked surprised and shocked.
"Junior Cheng Xiao, right? Come with me." said one of the seniors who was very friendly.

This senior knew quite a bit about the Three-Step Pagoda and gave Cheng Xiao a few reminders along the way.

Only after sending Cheng Xiao into the real tower did he leave with peace of mind.

"You shouldn't have deliberately hidden something from him, right?" another companion guarding the Three-Step Pagoda asked solemnly.

"I'm not stupid, how dare I hide it from this person?" The friendly senior said unhappily:
"If it were someone else, we could do some small things, but if this guy came to the main campus and started to settle accounts with us, we would have a hard time!"

"As long as I haven't offended you."

His companions heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Fortunately, this petty-minded guy was not stupid enough to do anything stupid and knew not to offend Cheng Xiao.

Everyone in Mingzhu Academy knew that Cheng Xiao had fought against three thousand people alone. Even in the main campus, it was a hot topic.

If they were to become jealous and make enemies with this monster, they would definitely not be able to live in peace when Cheng Xiao arrived at the main campus.
"But having said that, after the conversation just now, I found that Cheng Xiao is not as exaggerated as the rumors say. Instead, his behavior is quite low-key." said the friendly senior.

"Heh, he seems to be low-key because he doesn't bother to pay attention. If you really provoke him, you will know how terrible he is!" His companion looked at him with disdain:
"You should never mess with this kind of person. Don't even think about trying to curry favor with someone as petty as you. Don't let me get implicated."

The friendly senior's mouth twitched, but he didn't refute.

Inside the three-step tower.

Cheng Xiao stepped on the floating stairs and looked towards the higher suspended staircase platform:
"Every step we take will drain our magic power. What if we use shadow soldiers instead?"

As he spoke, Cheng Xiao summoned Yegrit.

"Yegrit, go up and take a look."

"As you command, my Lord!"

When Yegrit takes a step, he will also encounter resistance.

"Will the shadow soldiers be affected as well?"

Cheng Xiao was not too surprised.

The energy within the Three-Step Tower is countless times denser than normal elements, let alone climbing to higher levels where the energy is even denser.

Just standing inside the tower requires consuming magic energy to adapt to the huge energy inside the tower.
"In that case, let's be safe."

Cheng Xiao smiled softly and let all the shadow soldiers in the shadow sneak into Yegrit's shadow.

Yegrit understood what the king meant and climbed up the stairs to a higher level.

The second floor, the third floor. When you reach the stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor, the pressure is obviously greater.

Yegrit climbed less than twenty steps before all the energy in his body was exhausted, forcing him to return to Cheng Xiao's shadow.

But before returning to the shadow, Yegrit released the Shadow Scale-Skinned Demoness.

The Shadow Scales-Skinned Banshee replaced Yegrit in the climbing mission, but before reaching the fourth floor, the Shadow Scales-Skinned Banshee was forced to return.

Climbing to higher levels of the tower will consume several times more energy than the previous time!
However, this was not a problem for Cheng Xiao, who had a large number of shadow soldiers. If the quality was not enough, then the quantity would make up for it. When one shadow soldier fell, there were still hundreds of shadow soldiers waiting behind to continue climbing.

Before being forced to return, new shadow soldiers will replace the tasks of the returning shadow soldiers.

Infinite nesting dolls belong to this.

Finally, after the energy of each shadow soldier was drained, a soldier finally reached the top, the fifth floor!

"Shadow swap!"

Cheng Xiao activated his specialized skill and instantly used the shadow soldier on the fifth floor as the spatial exit, swapping positions with him.

When he reached the fifth floor, the feeling of magic energy consumption while standing on the stairs disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely rich and huge energy.

With every additional level you climb in the Three-Step Pagoda, the energy density will double!
The first layer is twenty times, the second layer is forty times. Based on this calculation, the fifth layer should be three hundred and twenty times!
Cheng Xiao didn't dare to waste time. The first day was very precious and not a moment could be wasted.

He sat cross-legged on the spot and just as he entered the state of cultivation, an incomparable amount of energy poured into his spiritual world.

If the usual practice is a river, then the energy and spirit at this moment is a vast ocean!
After only a few hours of practice, Cheng Xiao's symbiotic system of space and chaos successfully broke through to the intermediate level!

Cheng Xiao said happily:
“The power of the Three-Step Pagoda exceeded my expectations. I thought it would take a day to break through the second system to the intermediate level.

"I didn't expect that I would achieve a breakthrough in less than half the normal training time."

Strike while the iron is hot!

Cheng Xiao simply consolidated his cultivation in the second system and focused his attention on his main cultivation of shadow and undead symbiosis system.

After a day of meditation, Shadow and Undead Nebula were promoted and broke through to the second intermediate level!

Cheng Xiao has been practicing Shadow and Undead Nebula for almost half a year.

With the five hundred times energy boost from the Three-Step Tower, it was not surprising that he broke through to the second intermediate level on the first day.

By the next day, the energy around me had obviously decreased a lot.

Reduced from three hundred and twenty times to two hundred and fifty-six times!
Enjoying the blessings in a holy place for cultivation like the Three-Step Pagoda is like taking medicine. The more you take, the easier it is to produce antibodies.

But this was enough for Cheng Xiao, after all, he was on the fifth floor.
On the second day, the space and the chaotic nebula were greatly improved and became deeper.

On the third day, the Space and Chaos Nebula broke through the intermediate level 2, and Cheng Xiao continued to practice the Shadow and Undead Nebula.

In the next four days, Cheng Xiao focused all his energy on the Nebula of Shadow and Undead.

Finally, on the seventh day, Shadow and Undead Nebula made another breakthrough and successfully entered the intermediate third level!

In addition, his cultivation level has greatly improved, and his spiritual realm has also risen sharply.

Cheng Xiao could feel that his spiritual realm was about to reach a critical point.

That is the critical point from the small spiritual realm to the middle spiritual realm. If you can cross it, your spiritual realm can break through to the fourth realm!

The retreat is over.

Cheng Xiao let out a long sigh. At this moment, he felt that he had made a qualitative improvement in all aspects.

Whether it is the power of death and shadow, or the control over dimensional space, it is far better than before!
Cheng Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and his consciousness entered the shadow world, checking inside the 'Realm of Rest'.

Just as he thought, Yegrit was promoted to the rank of great general, but the scaly-skinned mother demon was still a small general.

I wonder if Bell has also broken through to the Great War General
