Chapter 101 – Second Chamber (2/2)

And now that Ye Wei had reached the Warrior level, after being purified by cosmic energy, the size of his dantian multiplied again.

After just moments, Ye Wei’s dantian doubled in size.

When cultivators breakthrough to the Warrior level their dantians would double in size. Because Ye Wei’s foundation was too good, his dantian was now three times bigger than a normal one-star Warrior’s; it was almost as big as three-star Warrior’s dantian.

The bigger a cultivator’s dantian was, the more Qi it could hold and the more powerful their stances would be.

Zoom, zoom, zoom!

Ye Wei’s Sentient started expanding after his dantian enlarged. His Sentient was as strong as a Warrior’s after absorbing the Blood Devourer crystals’ energy, and after the breakthrough, his Sentient had the strength of a three-star Warrior!

Ye Wei now had the ability to fight a three-star Warrior, if it was only a short fight! Sadly, the strength of his body was not enough to contest a three-star Warrior, and apart from the amplification Supernova stance, Ye Wei did not know any other stances, and the one stance he knew he used it with help from Pu Yuan.

Body strength was not enough to decide the winner when the cultivators reached the Warrior level. A fight between two of the same level would be about how skillfully they used their stances.

“So this is the Warrior level?” Ye Wei slowly stood up. His eyes were shining brightly, and he slightly clenched his fist. He could feel how much his body had grown. He could feel a large amount of Qi rushing through his body. He knew that he was now multiple times stronger than he had ever been before.

‘After I stepped inside this Bloodmist Labyrinth, I’ve been very lucky. All of these experiences improved my cultivation by miles. When I get out of here, I have to learn and study all the stances I can get my hands on.’ Ye Wei thought as he looked forward to sharing the good news with his friends and family.

Not long after his breakthrough, a greenish blue light enveloped Ye Wei, and he could feel the dimension he was in distorting. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on the second story of the Karma Tower.

The first story of the Karma Tower was build for Students, and now that he had become a Warrior the runes in the tower teleported him to the second story.

Ye Wei stayed on the first level of the tower for more than six hours, and when he was teleported to the second story Jin Yan and Lin Zi Yan were long gone. They had been teleported out of the tower while Ye Wei was breaking through.

Jin Yan stayed on the second story for four hours until he couldn’t hold out any longer.

Lin Zi Yan lasted a bit longer than Jin Yan, but she had also stayed there for four hours. In the end, she was only a two-star Warrior, and it was a bit of a reach to overcome mid-level inner demons with her cultivation level; however, although she did not overcome the challenge she learned a valuable lesson. With this experience, she should not have as much trouble while breaking through like other cultivators would.

‘It’s been six hours…’ In the darkness, Jin Yan was gazing straight at the twinkling tower and frowned.

He had been the first to be teleported out of the tower. There was no way he would obtain the Glacial Emperor’s legacy, and he felt lost after getting so close. It was understandable how down and angry he felt, but with this experience, he was confident he would become a condensed prime Warrior on his next attempt to breakthrough.

Lin Zi Yan was the second person to be teleported out of the tower. As of now, Ye Wei was the only person left in the tower, and there was no doubt that he would become the Glacial Emperor’s successor!

During the first test, not only did Ye Wei deciphered the basic Supernova stance, but he was also able to refine it into its second evolution!

And in the second test, he was the contestant who lasted the longest.

‘That kid was sent to the first story of the tower to fight low-level inner demons, in what way is that impressive? He just has to endure some pain! When I was a Student, I defended myself against low-level demons without any problem!’ Even though Ye Wei had stayed in the tower for longer than he did, Jin Yan was still not able to admit defeat.

‘Before entering the tower little Wei’s cultivation was already at the ten-star Student level, he should be ready to breakthrough to become a Warrior. Now that six hours have passed, he should have already defeated his inner demons to become a Warrior…’ Lin Zi Yan thought while looking at the tower from a distance. Her eyes were soft, and she felt happy for Ye Wei from the bottom of her heart.

“The boy has just entered the second story!” Pu Yuan certainly did not expect this development causing him to narrow his eyes while he stared at the middle of the tower.

“What? That kid is on the second level?!” Jin Yan’s voice broke, “He is just a Student, how is it possible for him to enter the second floor?”

“Obviously, if he defended himself against the low-level inner demons, he can of course advance to the second floor!” Pu Yuan stated calmly while watching the tower from afar. Ye Wei had surprised him greatly.

‘There is a lot of luck and help involved, but little Wei is getting stronger very quickly. He is now a Warrior, and if he keeps advancing like this he should be able to catch up with those people…’ Lin Zi Yan pondered in her heart as she looked in the tower’s direction but her focus was far beyond.

“Mid-level inner demons are nothing to be joked about. The more experience little Wei can obtain now, the easier he will breakthrough to the condense prime Warrior level when that day comes. I wonder how long he can last.” Lin Zi Yan mumbled as she nervously paced around.

“A mere Student won’t be able to do much on the second floor; he will be kicked out in no time!” Jin Yan grunted angrily. His eyes were narrowed as he spoke to himself with an envious tone. ‘I came so bloody close!’

‘He used three days to decipher the Supernova stance and refined it in the process; now he went through a major breakthrough in the Karma Tower… Master, I wish you were here to see this!’ Thought Pu Yuan.

Pu Yuan, Lin Zi Yan, and Jin Yan stared into the darkness. All were slightly anxious to see how Ye Wei would do for different reasons.

Ye Wei appeared right in the middle of a large chamber on the tower’s second story. The runes in this chamber were far more complex than the ones below it, and they came alive the second Ye Wei’s feet touched the floor.

‘The mid-level demons on the second story is completely different to what’s on the first floor,’ Pu Yuan chuckled, he was happy that he could hand Ye Wei what his master left behind and was excited to see what kind of future this young genius would forge.
