Spirit Pressure Tower

Xiang Tian returned to Immortal Academy with Changning Immortal King. As for what would happen next with Jade Pool, he didn't pay much attention to it anymore.

Sometimes, revenge against someone by simply eliminating them was too easy. If he could make them remember him every moment, remember the harm and pain he brought them, that would also be extremely satisfying.

To be honest, Xiang Tian didn't want to return to the academy. However, the Immortal King said that in half a month, Immortal Academy would still need his help. There was no other way; he could only stay.

Within Immortal Academy, the news of Xiang Tian's return hadn't spread yet, and he had been staying in his dormitory.

The academy had returned to its usual tranquility, and Qiu Changfeng came to find him.

"Xiang Tian, in half a month, there will be a Dao discussion on Dao Sea, and the academy will send some disciples to participate. Are you interested?"

Seeing Qiu Changfeng looking a bit embarrassed and rubbing his hands, Xiang Tian found it a little amusing.

"Dean, you've already helped me so much. Why are you still embarrassed when you say this? Why are you being so polite with me?"

Qiu Changfeng sighed, sat down, and said to Xiang Tian, "To be frank, at every Dao discussion, many students and disciples of reclusive old monsters appear. There will be a sparring session to liven things up for those under thirty years old. Most of these people are hidden geniuses and monsters. The reward for first place is something I need. You know, our academy is different from them. Those people are all nurtured with their entire heart and soul. Our academy's students are still quite far behind compared to them."

What he said was not wrong. After all, it was an academy, and it was impossible for everyone to be particularly dedicated. Now that Ning Rong had left, the overall strength of the top students in the entire academy had weakened.

All in all, it seemed only Xiang Tian was capable of standing out.

"What were their realms in previous years?"

Xiang Tian was a little confused. After all, there were many Deity Transformation cultivators under thirty in the academy, so they shouldn't be considered lacking.

Qiu Changfeng frowned, "This event happens once every five years. The previous champion has already exceeded the age limit, but there is one person you need to pay special attention to. He's only twenty-three years old and is already at the peak of Deity Transformation. He's from the Yin Family, named Yin Qian. The chance of him appearing again this time is very high."

Yin Family, Yin Qian.

Xiang Tian had no impression of this clan.

"The Yin Family, like the Ding Family, is a prominent family, but their strength is much greater than the Ding Family. They have Golden Immortals in their clan and are skilled in concealment and transformation. I suspect that this Yin Qian has likely already broken through to the Void Shattering Realm. And it's not impossible for there to be other Void Shattering monsters under thirty."

After hearing Qiu Changfeng's explanation, Xiang Tian frowned. Void Shattering Realm, this would be a bit tricky, as it wouldn't be appropriate for him to call for backup at that event.

"Alright, I understand, Dean. I want to go to our Spirit Pressure Tower. After all, I'm still a Deity Transformation cultivator, and I want to improve myself as quickly as possible."

Qiu Changfeng was a little touched. Xiang Tian saying this was equivalent to agreeing. He immediately nodded, "Then thank you, student Xiang Tian, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xiang Tian saw Qiu Changfeng off and stood on the mountainside, lost in thought. It had been a long time since he left home. He wondered if his two elder sisters missed him.

He took a deep breath. He had to become stronger. After all, he had patted his chest and promised that he would become a peerless hero in the future and protect his two elder sisters. Anyone who dared to bully them, he would smash them into pieces! Smash them until not even a speck of dust remained!

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Xiang Tian's lips.

The Spirit Pressure Tower was a place within Immortal Academy that assisted in improving one's realm. It had special spirit formations that could compress spiritual energy from heaven and earth. As the layers increased, the compression became more intense, naturally causing immense pressure on those inside.

Arriving at the base of the Spirit Pressure Tower, there was a student on duty. Seeing Xiang Tian appear, he was stunned.

Good heavens, when did this jinx return?

Xiang Tian looked at him, "Student, please register me. I want to enter the Spirit Pressure Tower."

"Yes... yes, sir."

The person quickly wrote down Xiang Tian's name. Seeing Xiang Tian's back, he let out a long sigh. Why did this guy still look so intimidating?

At the same time, the students still inside the tower noticed Xiang Tian. Most of them looked dumbfounded. Some, who were too much, directly dropped what they were holding in their hands in fright.

Seeing their reactions, Xiang Tian's face darkened. This was ridiculous. Was he that scary?

Not wanting to bother with them, Xiang Tian went straight up the stairs and entered the first floor.

The first floor had double the pressure. Several students were practicing horse stance, their faces flushed red. Those who were slightly better were sitting cross-legged, breathing and absorbing the spiritual energy compressed within the tower.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, those students who were practicing horse stance to adapt to the tower's pressure saw Xiang Tian and couldn't maintain their composure, falling to the ground.

Xiang Tian clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't stand it. This was truly unbearable. Why did his classmates look at him as if they had seen a ghost?

Looking at those pale-faced, terrified students, Xiang Tian glared at them fiercely, almost scaring them into fainting.

He felt that the students in Immortal Academy had a misconception about him. He would discuss this with Qiu Changfeng when he had the chance to change this situation.

The second and third floors elicited similar reactions from most people, making Xiang Tian so angry that he wanted to tear down the Spirit Pressure Tower!

Fortunately, the fewer the students on the higher floors, the fewer there were. By the fifth floor, only two people remained. The fifth floor already had fifty times the pressure. Those who reached this level were basically students who had been demoted from the Prodigy Class.

The two were meditating, sweat dripping from their faces, and occasionally showing expressions of pain. Xiang Tian didn't disturb them and continued upwards.

He was different from others. The spiritual energy required for his breakthroughs might be ten or even a hundred times that of others.

Therefore, staying on the fifth floor was clearly not an option. The Spirit Pressure Tower had a total of ten floors. Since its creation, the strongest person had only reached the ninth floor.

And the tenth floor already had a terrifying thousand times the pressure!

Xiang Tian's pace of climbing had slowed, and sweat began to trickle down.

In the main hall at the base of the tower, everyone saw the light for the sixth floor illuminate.

"Holy crap, someone reached the sixth floor. Could it be Xiang Tian?"

"That guy is truly a monster. This is too strong. The sixth floor already has nearly a hundred times the pressure!"

"No, he hasn't stopped. Look at the seventh floor!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise. Everyone saw that the light for the seventh floor had also illuminated!

Immediately after, what almost made their eyeballs pop out was that the eighth floor also lit up!

"Crazy, crazy, holy crap, Xiang Tian is about to take off!"

"Take off? He already took off long ago, didn't you see he disdained to even look at you when he arrived?"

Someone retorted.

"No, he wants to challenge the ninth floor!"

Someone else exclaimed, everyone stared at the tower, holding their breath. The lights on the ninth floor flickered, like a ghost.
