Lin Chen’s kick felt like it landed directly on the face of the person speaking, and the nearby privileged students started resorting to personal attacks.
"Heh, this can’t stop the top-ranked one’s steps."
"He just doesn’t want to climb."
"Who says privileged students are weak? They can also reach the fortieth level."
Each of these people were emotionally charged, a reaction suppressed for a long time.
Unexpectedly, that student said, "Isn’t it just the fortieth level? Those unaware might think he’s the first to reach it; Fang You has already reached fifty. Let him first touch the threshold of fifty."
Many formally enrolled students nodded.
Fang You was their representative. As long as he was there, they wouldn’t lose in arguments.
Moreover, Lin Chen had just reached the fortieth level, the first among the privileged students, and posed no real threat.
Lin Chen was unaware of their quarrel; right now, both Lin Chen and Xiaobai needed to rest.
The recent battle was extremely torturous.
Although knowing they were illusionary clones, finding the real one was very difficult.
Xiaobai gambled several times but missed; fortunately, Lin Chen eventually saw through the opponent’s true form, delivering a fatal blow.
"Don’t worry, it should be better on the forty-first level," Lin Chen said.
Even though he said so, he wasn’t confident inside.
After the fortieth level, the Bull Demon King gained Spiritual Power support while retaining the brute strength of previous levels, becoming more versatile.
Lin Chen was concerned that every creature on the forty-first level might be .
But soon Lin Chen realized he was overthinking it; everything was as he expected.
The forty-first level returned to brute strength.
Xiaobai let out a comfortable moo, directly entering Tier Two Barbaric Bloodline.
The Demon Beasts on the forty-first level were also Level 3, reaching Level 26.
Moreover, their skills had special changes; a moment’s carelessness could be extremely dangerous.
Yet Xiaobai still felt immensely comfortable; it would rather face ten strong types of brute force than one Spiritual Power expert.
Forty-first level, time used: one minute.
Forty-second level, time used: thirty seconds.
Forty-third level, time used: one minute.
Forty-fourth level, time used: three minutes.
Forty-fifth level, time used: two minutes.
The students watching from below were all dumbfounded.
Excluding rest time, Lin Chen’s speed was really fast.
Originally, when the Nine Tribulation Beasts climbed the stairs, although their speed was fast, it wasn’t as exaggerated as Lin Chen’s.
Someone calculated that, except for special levels, Fang You’s average climbing speed was around four minutes.
Now, Lin Chen’s time was half as fast as Fang You?
The formally enrolled students couldn’t laugh now.
Because Lin Chen’s speed continued.
Forty-sixth level, time used: three minutes.
Forty-seventh level, time used: one and a half minutes.
Forty-eighth level, time used: two minutes.
Forty-ninth level, time used: five minutes.
At this moment, just as the day ended.
Towards the end, Lin Chen also became increasingly anxious; despite the seemingly fast speed, Xiaobai had to exert all its strength, using Tier Two Barbaric Bloodline to pass through.
So, their rest time was very extensive.
The trials from the forty-first to forty-ninth level were:
The defense of these Demon Beasts was terrifying. Without awakening the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn against such levels, Xiaobai wouldn’t pass at all.
However, Lin Chen thought that if Xiaobai hadn’t awakened the Eternal Damnation Demon Horn, they probably wouldn’t encounter these Demon Beasts.
Even so, reaching the forty-ninth level, it was extremely difficult to pass; the monsters’ defense could even withstand Thousand Shadows Unification in its second stage, requiring slow grinding of health.
"Too difficult, I hope the Bull Demon King on the fiftieth level would show some mercy," Lin Chen thought, stepping onto the fiftieth level.
As soon as he entered, as expected, it was the Bull Demon King again.
Without a moment to exchange greetings, the Bull Demon King brandished a giant axe as it charged.
Xiaobai immediately retaliated, never expecting the Bull Demon King to unleash a Soul-Calming Hoof at once.
Lin Chen was sweating.
It had learned the real skill.
This Bull Demon King inherited the defense abilities after the fortieth level, making it extremely tough for Xiaobai.
Finally, Xiaobai seized an opportunity, launching an all-out attack.
In Tier Two Barbaric Bloodline, employing Soul-Calming Hoof and Eternal Damnation Demon Horn along with fourteen strands of Thousand Shadows Unification, yet surprisingly, the Bull Demon King remained unfazed, enduring it sturdily.
Lin Chen was dumbstruck, astonished by the exaggerated numbers.
On the verge of defeat, Lin Chen thought for a moment and finally said, "Xiaobai, activate the third stage."
Xiaobai was momentarily stunned, glancing back at Lin Chen, indicating:
It’s cramped here and Lin Chen might easily get hurt.
"It’s alright, my true body won’t be harmed here; at most, we’ll be repelled," Lin Chen had long considered this.
For Xiaobai, this Path to Immortality was a great place to hone the third stage of the Barbaric Bloodline.
After all, as one of the signature transformative skills, it couldn’t always remain an unexpected move.
He believed in the Heavenly Dao rewarding diligence; with practice, there’s a chance to master it.
Upon hearing this, Xiaobai finally unleashed the power of its internal bloodline without suppression.
With a roar, its entire body turned crimson.
Lin Chen immediately tensed, ready to call a halt at any time.
This time, Lin Chen admitted he was taking a gamble.
However, his gamble paid off.
Niu Niu rushed forward swiftly, the fifteen strands of Thousand Shadows Unification appeared on the battlefield for the first time!

As the bull’s body sped through like lightning.
The Bull Demon King swung its axe, bracing itself to withstand the Iron Horn Impact.
