Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 37 Three-Step Tower

Su Chi has been staying here since he returned to the hunting ground.

I chat with Leng Qing and drink some wine every day, and my life is very comfortable.

But after a few days, Leng Qing left.

Su Chi also received a call from Dean Xiao, informing him that today was the day to enter the Three-Step Pagoda.

The Three-Step Pagoda is located on the main campus of Pearl Academy.

It is a special magical building that can gather together the elemental energy floating freely between heaven and earth.

After Su Chi found Dean Xiao, he followed him directly into the main campus and walked all the way to the entrance of the Three-Step Pagoda.

"Are you on duty today? You have seen the permission certificate, so you can take this student in." Dean Xiao said kindly to the two men guarding the entrance.

"Yes, Dean." The two men said respectfully.

Then one of the men with a more amiable face looked at Su Chi and said, "Brother, come with me."

Su Chi followed him in, and the first thing that caught his eye was a long metal passage.

After walking for a few minutes, Su Chi found that he had not yet walked out of the passage, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

This passage is so long?

The senior student beside him seemed to see Su Chi's confusion, so he asked with a smile: "Junior, do you know why this tower is called the Three-Step Tower?"

Su Chi shook his head after hearing this.

He did forget some of the history of the Three-Step Pagoda.

"Then let me first tell you about the history of the Three-Step Pagoda. The Three-Step Pagoda was built by a great sage who primarily cultivated the Earth Element and secondarily cultivated the Space Element. It contains a spatial array."

"There's a concept in space theory that goes, 'One step a thousand feet, two steps ten thousand miles, three steps boundless,' so the Three-Step Tower is also called the Boundless Tower."

"From the outside, the Three-Step Pagoda is only fifty meters long and wide, but its interior is incredibly vast. Also, the energy concentration on each floor of the Three-Step Pagoda is different. Intermediate-level mages can practice on the first two floors, but never on the third floor, or you'll explode and die."

Su Chi listened and followed the man inside.

Soon, a staircase appeared in their sight.

"This is it, go up on your own."

"Thank you."

Su Chi thanked him on the surface, but rolled his eyes in his heart.

This person seemed quite kind, but I didn't expect that he still wanted to cheat him.

Su Chi remembered that with every step up the three-step tower, the magic power in the mage's body would be consumed faster.

If an ordinary mid-level mage rashly went to the second floor, he might faint halfway through, and the precious opportunity to enter the three-step tower would be wasted.

Sure enough, jealousy can make people unrecognizable.

After the man left, Su Chi stepped directly onto the stairs floating in the air in front of him. The stairs led to a triangular geometric suspended platform.

This platform is the first floor of the three-step tower.

He climbed up quickly along Su Chi. At first, he walked smoothly, but when he was more than halfway, he found that the magic energy in his body was rapidly consumed.

When Su Chi successfully stepped onto the first level, the magic energy in the water nebula in his body was almost exhausted.

However, at this moment he could clearly feel a very strong water element energy converging towards him.

Su Chi sat on the ground and tried to meditate for a while. He felt very comfortable inside. Compared with the outside world, the efficiency of cultivation here was indeed about twenty times higher.

Then he did not stop and hurried towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

Soon, Su Chi reached the second floor. The elemental concentration on the second floor was even higher, and compared to the outside world, the efficiency of cultivation here was forty times higher. Originally, after his breakthrough to the intermediate level of magic, his efficiency in cultivating stardust was more than three times that of an ordinary person, but the efficiency of cultivating nebula was slightly lower, less than double.

Su Chi did not continue to go to the third floor. With his current magic energy, he definitely could not go up there.

Mo Fan had already reached the second level of his Fire and Thunder Dual Nebula before he could barely enter the third level.

The gap between the first-level nebula and the second-level nebula is still very large, and the magic power alone has more than doubled.

Su Chi's summoning system was only at the second level, and he planned to break through to the third level on the second floor first.

This time when he came to the Three-Step Pagoda, Dean Xiao gave him a seven-day stay.

Soon, time passed day by day.

It seemed that if one absorbed too much elemental energy from the Three-Step Pagoda, antibodies would be produced. Su Chi's meditation speed was decreasing every day.

Fortunately, on the sixth day after he entered the Three-Step Tower, his summoning nebula finally broke through to the third level.

"The magic power in the summoning nebula has doubled again. Now I should be able to successfully reach the third level."

After Su Chi felt the magic power in his body, he stepped directly onto the floating ladder to the third floor.

Reaching the third floor was more difficult than he had imagined. In addition to the fact that the magic energy in his body was being consumed faster than before, the mental pressure was also enormous.

With every step he took, Su Chi felt his head getting heavier. Fortunately, he was not far from the third floating platform at this moment.

Su Chi gritted his teeth and, relying on his strong inner belief, rushed to the third floor in one go.

The moment he stepped into the third floor, the pressure on his mind disappeared.

"It's worthy of being the third floor, the element concentration is a full eighty times." Su Chi lay on the ground on the third floor, feeling the rich elemental energy around him, and couldn't help but sigh.

After a short rest, Su Chi began to concentrate on cultivating the Thunder Stardust.

There is still more than half a day left until the end of the sixth day, plus tomorrow, that’s a day and a half.

A day and a half spent on concentrating on the cultivation of thunder is equivalent to more than a year of cultivation in the outside world without eating or drinking.

The result did not disappoint Su Chi. After the last day, Su Chi's thunder stardust successfully broke through to the nebula level.

The Three-Step Pagoda is such a fascinating place, it’s a pity that he only has seven days to stay there, otherwise he would have wanted to live there directly.

Su Chi walked out of the Three-Step Pagoda refreshed, and before he had gone far, he saw Dean Xiao.

"Dean." Su Chi hurriedly went up to greet him.

"It seems that you have gained a lot. Come on, I'll take you back." Dean Xiao nodded and looked at Su Chi with great satisfaction.

"Thank you, Dean."

Su Chi didn't expect that Dean Xiao was waiting for him here, and he was deeply moved.

Soon, Su Chi followed Dean Xiao back to the Qing campus smoothly.

Dean Xiao gave Su Chi a few more instructions and then left. Su Chi was left alone and didn't know what to do.

Before he could think it through, he suddenly received a message from Xiao Shitou.

"That female dragon is looking for me?"

Su Chi raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little confused, he quickly returned to the dormitory.

The dormitory was empty at this time. Su Chi locked the door and then sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Dimensional summons."
