He had seen a few of them before, and some he had never seen before. Naturally, they were the martial artists who had reached the Ninety-ninth step later. Their strength demonstrated what it meant to be the latecomers catching up.
Qin wunian's cultivation continued for more than four hours. The fourth level of the Nebula tower had been lit up for some time before she finally opened her eyes. Her strength had also broken through continuously, finally stopping at the peak of the middle stage of earth creation!
She had used up more than half of the stellar energy she had received as a reward, and the remaining didn't belong to her. She couldn't refine the portion that could be recovered by the star Cloud tower for the time being.
However, this did not matter anymore. After his strength level had greatly increased, his body's endurance, which had originally reached its limit, had expanded more than ten times, and could accommodate more star power.
As long as he could keep climbing, he should be able to at least reach the fifth or sixth level.
"Sima Zhongda, Daniya, thank you ...'Thank you' is not enough to express my gratitude. I, Qin wunian, will remember this great kindness in my heart!"
Qin wunian suppressed the excitement in his heart as his strength increased. He stood up and bowed to Lin Yi and Daniya in gratitude.
If it wasn't for the two of them, she wouldn't have been able to pass the second level and would've been sent out of the tower long ago.
Even if they were lucky enough to reach the Ninety-ninth step, they would inevitably be the main elimination target of everyone in the few final tests. It was even more impossible for them to have the complete incantation to combine the power of the stars and strengthen their physical body.
"We're all family, what's there to be polite about?"
Daniya smiled as she walked up and held Qin wunian's arm.""If your strength increases, we can climb to a higher level together. It won't be a waste of Sima's effort to deduce the pithy formula for your cultivation technique."
Qin wunian's face reddened slightly as she stole a glance at Lin Yi. She lowered her head and whispered,"You ... You didn't do it on purpose, did you? Aiya, even the fourth level had been lit up! We're too far behind, let's go! I'm holding you up too much!"
Through her God's eye view, she saw that the third and fourth levels of the star Cloud tower were all lit up, and she felt guilty. If she didn't waste time, Lin Yi and Daniya would've passed the fourth level already, right? At the very least, he would be in the middle of the fourth level.
Of course, it wasn't as if she didn't intend to change the topic. Daniya's words had made Qin wunian a little embarrassed. He wanted to continue, but he also felt embarrassed, so he instinctively changed the topic.
"No, no, no! We're just letting the people in front clear the way for us. Don't worry, we'll definitely get the most benefits in the end. Don't you think so, Sima?"
"Whatever you say. I don't care if others believe it or not, but I do!"
Lin Yi replied with a smile and nodded at Qin wunian, telling her not to take it to heart.
The three of them didn't say anything more. Climbing the starry stairway wasn't difficult, but the tests set up on each level were really unexpected, and it was hard to say how much time it would take.
Lin Yi kept the formation disk and walked into the tunnel first. Daniya and Qin wunian held hands and followed closely behind.
The third level of the astral stairs returned to its gravity mode, but the gravity was more than twice as strong as the first level's 99 steps.
If Qin wunian was still at the beginning stage, it would be rather difficult for him to face this level of gravity. It would be good enough if he could climb up to the sixty-sixth step.
Now, there was no pressure at all. With the strength of the peak of the middle stage of earth creation, they could easily deal with the increase in gravity on the third floor. The three of them consciously increased their speed, and they were much faster than when they were climbing the second floor.
The thirty-third and sixty-sixth steps weren't too difficult, and there weren't any practitioners who stayed behind. Lin Yi's group passed without any obstacles and reached the Ninety-eighth step smoothly. One more step and they'd be on the final test platform of the third level.
"Sima, why do I feel that the difficulty of the third floor is not as high as the second floor? No wonder those guys in front were so fast. I didn't see anyone along the way. It seems that they have already entered the fourth floor!"
Daniya smiled with a relaxed expression,"or should I say, this is the difficulty level of the first few levels?" We were delayed by those guys! For example, when facing the Star Beast, if no one made trouble, it would be easy and pleasant to clear the game. "
"Maybe, but we can't be too careless. There are ninety-nine steps up there. We don't know what will happen on the third step. Don't be too relaxed!"
Lin Yi said, but he didn't really think much of it-the third floor really wasn't as hard as the second.
Qin wunian didn't have much to say. She was just a newbie who had been carried and won the entire time, so she didn't have the right to express her opinion. If she had to say something, it felt great to be carried by a Big Shot!
If possible, he hoped to be able to wave flags and cheer for the big shots on the side, giving them likes and shouting 666!
Just as the three of them were about to step onto the Ninety-ninth step, the fifth level of the star Cloud tower lit up in their omniscient view!
The person in the lead had expanded his lead once again-he passed the fifth floor and entered the sixth floor. Lin Yi's heart couldn't help but grow heavy.
It was too fast!
Right now, was the one at the forefront a human expert or an expert from the darkness demon beast clan? Had the reward they received been converted into strength?
To be able to clear the instance so quickly, did he rely on strength or luck?
Daniya went silent as well, exchanging a look with Lin Yi before stepping onto the Ninety-ninth step!
Now was really the time to catch up!
There were indeed other people on the Ninety-ninth step-this was the first time the three had met other martial artists since entering the third level.
Lin Yi scanned the room-there were thirteen practitioners in total, spread out in three different directions. In the center was a sphere that was lit up, illuminating the entire platform like a star.
If he didn't guess wrong, these thirteen ancient martial art practitioners came from the other three directions of the starry stairs. The platform at the end of each level would gather the ancient martial art practitioners from the four starry stairs.
After entering the next level, he might be automatically assigned to another four stairways-no wonder Lin Yi didn't see anyone along the way. The difficulty wasn't high, but being split up by the other stairways was another.
After stepping onto the Ninety-ninth step, Lin Yi only had time to see the situation clearly before the stars shifted and a huge change happened.
Daniya and Qin wunian disappeared without a trace, leaving Lin Yi standing alone in the dark tunnel. At the same time, he received a message from the star Cloud tower.
Similar to the first level, if one wanted to pass the third level, they would have to act alone.
The platform at the top of the third floor had turned into a maze, and the maze would only be activated when people from all four staircases came up. Before Lin Yi's group arrived, the people from the other three staircases had already arrived.
As a result, the labyrinth was activated the moment the three stepped onto the Ninety-ninth step.
