Chapter 1688: Isn’t That Too High? (1/2)
Even though Huang Xiaolong’s progress had slowed down compared to the beginning, his pace was still startling compared to Qin Huangzhong, Shi Yinyu, Song Litao, He Jingyi, and the others.
The day finally came to an end, and Huang Xiaolong had killed all ten thousand Blackstone Monsters on the fourth floor.
When the last of the Blackstone Monsters turned into energy and drilled into his body, Huang Xiaolong heaved loudly in relief, feeling more than a little drained.
It took him two full days to kill the ten thousand Blackstone Monsters on the fourth floor, while he had managed to clear the first three floors in half a day. In summary, it merely took him two and a half days to clear four floors!
Huang Xiaolong remembered that Tai Yue said Qin Fan had spent more than eight months to pass the first four floors!
In retrospect, Huang Xiaolong was in no hurry to enter the fifth floor. He had time to adjust his condition back to the peak and recover his consumed godforce before entering the fifth floor. At his peak condition, he would be able to slaughter all the hell beasts on the fifth floor more effectively.
Simultaneously, all the spectating experts outside were staring fixedly at the Holy Mountain’s fourth floor. All of them were discussing how fast could the mysterious genius clear the fourth floor’s obstacles.
“Castellan Qin Fan took more than eight months to pass the first floor to the fourth floor. This mysterious genius would probably take a month to clear the fourth floor!”
“One month? Not likely, is it? The fourth floor’s obstacles are not so easy to clear as the first three floors. Even though this person progressed quickly at the start, that doesn’t mean he could do the same on the fourth floor.”
“I feel it might take less than two months. Who knows, maybe this mysterious genius might clear the fourth floor in less than half a month.”
Various forces’ experts had differing opinions.
“Half a month? Mad Devil Ancestor, interested to make a bet? If this mysterious genius really can clear the fourth floors in half a month or less, I win, and you will give me five hundred thousand low-grade chaos spirit stones. However, if this mysterious genius takes over half a month to pass the fourth floor, I lose. I’ll give you five hundred thousand low-grade chaos spirit stones, how about that?”
“This…”
“What? Are you afraid?”
“A bet it is, five hundred thousand low-grade chaos spirit stones!”
Many other Ancestor generation experts were betting on how long it would take for Huang Xiaolong to clear the fourth floor. Some bet a dozen low-grade chaos spirit stones, while a few bigger bets reached several hundred thousand low-grade chaos spirit stones, and some even bet on divine artifacts that they fancied.
Fan Hui pondered slightly before answering with uncertainty, “Maybe more than a month.”
“I, on the other hand, feel it’s around twenty days or so.” Jin Yuan chimed in.
“I think two months is the safest bet.” Wan Yutian stressed his opinion.
Precisely at this time, the Holy Mountain shone brightly, and dazzling rays soared skywards as the fifth floor lit up.
All discussions, talks of bets, other noises, and whatever actions the spectators were doing, came to an abrupt stop.
“Th-the fifth floor!”
“How many days?!”
“... It seems, just slightly over two days!”
Slightly over two days!
Everyone felt a cold breeze blowing past them, but it went straight to their souls.
The spectators outside shuddered in astonishment, their mouths agape as if trying to eat a big egg.
It isn’t one month, much less, two months!
Not even half a month!
A little over two days!
