The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1688 - 1693: The Seventh Tier

Lin Fei followed in their footsteps and stepped into the resource array that surprised him. As soon as he entered, Lin Fei felt his body extremely comfortable, like a dry sea surface crazily absorbing the Heaven and Earth Qi.

However, Lin Fei soon felt that the Heaven and Earth Qi here was still not satisfying enough for him. Seeing Li Qing, Zhang Huan, and Yang Yuxiang heading farther in, Lin Fei also quickly followed.

At this moment, Lin Fei’s actions caught the attention of Zhang Huan, Li Qing, and even the surrounding people, all of whom turned to look at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei scratched his head, looking at the crowd with confusion, "What’s the matter?"

Many disciples couldn’t help but shake their heads. In their eyes, Lin Fei was truly overestimating himself, not staying on the ninth level but following them forward, which was simply a path to self-destruction!

"Junior Brother, you must be careful. The primordial energy ahead is not something an ordinary person can withstand." Li Qing reminded again, after all, he didn’t want this cultivator from the Lower Realm to suddenly die.

Before Lin Fei could speak, Zhang Huan interjected, "Senior Brother, you don’t need to care about someone who overestimates himself like him. It’d be better if he dies. Let’s go, let him continue showing off! I want to see how long he can keep it up!"

"Sigh, let’s go!"

After saying this, the three of them continued moving forward. They quickly arrived at the staircase to the eighth level. As soon as one stepped on it, it would mean officially entering the eighth level, and the fierceness of the Heaven and Earth Qi would grow considerably stronger.

Among the three, Yang Yuxiang easily stepped up, while Zhang Huan and Li Qing hesitated for a moment before stepping up as well. At this time, the surrounding people couldn’t help but look at Lin Fei, as they eagerly anticipated his performance, even though they didn’t have much hope in their hearts.

However, something that shocked everyone happened. Lin Fei unexpectedly stepped forward directly, reaching the eighth level as if it was effortless, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"What’s with this guy? Is his cultivation really at the Foundation Establishment Realm? How can he enter the eighth level?" a disciple asked, full of disbelief at the event unfolding before them.

"Maybe it’s because his physique is particularly strong. Otherwise, how could he climb up?" another disciple speculated.

"I see, then let’s continue. I wonder if he’ll make it to the seventh level."

The disciples headed toward the seventh level, while some stopped midway, feeling it just right for their capabilities. Continuing might exceed their tolerance and backfire, so some had already stopped and wouldn’t proceed further.

Yet Lin Fei walked forward steadily, one step at a time, until they finally reached the stairs to the seventh level. Once on the seventh level, the power of the primordial energy would increase greatly, imposing even more pressure on the body!

Therefore, the seventh level was where most people stopped.

Lin Fei looked at the stairs before him; Yang Yuxiang had no intention of stopping and stepped onto the staircase, but stopped and looked back at Lin Fei after reaching the seventh level, eagerly anticipating his performance.

Meanwhile, Zhang Huan snorted, "I don’t believe you can reach the seventh level!" This level was already his limit; last time, he lingered between the eighth and seventh levels, but reaching the seventh level this time indicated his progress.

Moreover, Li Qing was also at the seventh level, although it was unclear which level he would choose this time.

At this moment, Li Qing and Zhang Huan moved upwards together, stepping directly to the seventh level. However, Zhang Huan immediately squatted down and sat cross-legged on the edge. The pressure on this level was already apparent; he couldn’t advance any further.

Everyone then turned their eyes to Lin Fei. Lin Fei smiled and stepped forward, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the seventh level!

"What?!"

"Am I seeing things? He actually reached the seventh level? It’s unbelievable!"

"How is this possible?! He’s just a guy from the Lower Realm, and only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, how could he! Puh!"

One of the disciples couldn’t stand the shock Lin Fei brought and spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling weak. After all, he was only at the eighth level, and yet Lin Fei, a guy in the Foundation Establishment Realm, reached the seventh level!

Lin Fei standing unwaveringly was a blatant blow to them!

At this moment, Zhang Huan was in a bad state, his face pale as he felt a sense of frustration in his chest, feeling uncomfortably stifled, needing to vent it out.

Just then, the pressure from Lin Fei overwhelmed him entirely, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Puh!"

Spitting blood, Zhang Huan tumbled from the seventh level back to the eighth level. Li Qing also looked at Lin Fei with a face full of surprise. Lin Fei had given him so much shock, achieving this while standing so calmly on the stage—how many people could do that!

"Junior Brother, amazing!" Li Qing gave Lin Fei a thumbs-up, then turned around and headed to the sixth level.

Yang Yuxiang smiled at Lin Fei, "Junior Brother, you’ve certainly inspired your brother Li Qing’s competitive spirit. I’m afraid he’ll aim for the sixth level."

Upon hearing Yang Yuxiang’s words, Lin Fei smiled. This wasn’t his intention; he didn’t mean to compete with the senior brothers.

Although Lin Fei didn’t intend to compete, Li Qing thought otherwise. Li Qing felt that, as a senior, he indeed looked down on Lin Fei before. After all, Lin Fei’s strength was indeed inferior to Li Qing’s, so it was reasonable for him to underestimate Lin Fei.

Therefore, for the sake of a lesson, Li Qing decided to head for the sixth level to close the gap with Yang Yuxiang and also to compete with Lin Fei.

Finally, Lin Fei followed Li Qing to the sixth level, looking at the staircase. Li Qing had always had confidence in reaching the sixth level, but he hadn’t done so before, being someone who didn’t like competition.

However, after Lin Fei’s disruption, he wanted to prove himself, so seeing the sixth-level stairway, he stepped up.

Boom!

The primordial power on the sixth level, with its surging aura, was absolutely not easy to resist. Like river water, the closer to the source of impact, the harder it was to resist the force.

Still, Li Qing successfully reached the sixth level and stood firmly upon it.
