Chapter 176: Are the rumors true?

"Teacher, do you have any questions?"

Seeing that the guard teacher didn't speak for a long time, Lin You was a little confused.

"Ah, no... Sorry."

The guard teacher finally came back to his senses, but soon he couldn't help asking, "Student, did you say the fifth floor?"

"yes."

Lin You nodded, and he had some idea in his mind.

Most likely he recognized me, a freshman, who said he wanted to go to the fifth floor of the Magic Pressure Building. It did sound like he was still a little sleepy and spoke nonsense.

This is exactly what the guard teacher thought.

Logically speaking, this kid has been to the fourth floor several times and should be very clear about how strong the magical pressure there is.

Not to mention the fifth level, which is another significant improvement.

Even if Lin You could perfectly adapt to the magical pressure of the fourth level, it would still be difficult for him to withstand the fifth level.

Moreover, in many cases, enduring with difficulty is not necessarily better than the next level of perfect adaptation.

The guarding teacher didn't want to see Lin You go astray, so he kindly reminded him, "Student, don't blindly challenge your limits. What suits you is best. Overdoing it will only backfire. In cultivation, you can work hard, but you still need to maintain a certain level of rationality. Achieving the best within rationality is called challenging your limits. Otherwise, it's called 'going astray.'"

The custodial teacher was really doing his job well by telling Lin You so much. Lin You was aware of this, but because of this, he felt a little headache.

But naturally, I would not give up my persistence, so I had to say, "Teacher, I sincerely thank you for telling me this, but I am not reckless and I know my limits. That's why I am more confident in going to the fifth floor, and I will take responsibility for my choices."

"Okay."

The guarding teacher felt helpless. Things had come to this point. If he continued to dissuade him, it would only make him stop the students from practicing.

Everything that needs to be said has been said.

They themselves said that they know where to draw the line and are aware of their own limitations.

This weight is indeed quite strong.

Fifth floor!

No matter how you think about it, it's not very realistic.

Maybe it can hold up for a short period of time, but what's the point? The returns are extremely low and there is no cost-effectiveness at all.

At most, it satisfies one's own sense of challenge.

But this guy, I think, has plenty of duel points. It's understandable that he spends his own money to pursue the limit and give it a try.

Without saying anything more, he quickly helped Lin You complete the registration and said, "Okay, you can go in."

"Thank you very much."

Lin You expressed his gratitude again, and then entered the Magic Pressure Building. Behind him, there was constant discussion.

"We really have to go to the fifth floor. Is Brother You crazy or am I crazy?"

"Who is Brother You? How could there be something wrong with him? But don't worry, there's nothing wrong with you either. So it's not him, nor any of us, who's crazy. It's this world that's crazy."

"That's too exaggerated. Come on, seriously, do you think Lin You has the confidence to withstand the pressure of the fifth level of magic?"

"Well, there is definitely some, otherwise I wouldn't be so decisive. But as for holding on, I might be able to do it for a short time, but I definitely can't do it for a long time."

"Nonsense, is the fifth floor as outrageous as you say?"

"That's what you don't understand. The fifth floor is usually visited by those third-year students. Even in the second year, among the geniuses at the top of the Rising Star List, only the top five or even the top three can hold their own."

"Damn, so cruel? Based on what you said, Brother You might be in for a real hard time this time. He's strong, but it's too early for him to challenge this. No wonder the guard teacher gave such advice."

No matter how heated the discussions outside were, they could not reach Lin You's ears, let alone affect him.

At this moment, we are walking along the corridor, following the ancient wooden stairs to the second, third and fourth floors.

Keep going upstairs.

Finally, we reached the destination of this trip, the fifth floor!

The interior structure of the Magic Pressure Building is actually very similar, and this is also true on the fifth floor.

The most obvious change is actually the site area, which is getting smaller with each floor.

Comparing the fifth layer with the initial first layer, the sensation will be extremely strong.

It’s much smaller!

Of course, the space is still not small, and it is more than enough to accommodate about a hundred or eighty people.

This doesn’t include rest areas!

But what’s interesting is that there are quite a lot of people practicing on this fifth level.

At a glance, there were about thirty people.

This is a lot more than Lin You imagined.

But that's normal. After all, this floor is the best area for third-year students to clear out magical debris from their bodies.

Those who have this kind of demand basically come here. How can there be fewer people?

Because of this, those who come here for training are more or less familiar with each other.

The moment Lin You walked in, he seemed a little awkward.

The people in the training area were naturally focused, but there were also some people in the rest area.

When these people saw him, they were all slightly startled.

Many of them came because they saw a stranger, but there were also a few who thought he looked familiar.

What's more, some people recognized him directly!

"That guy is this year's Rookie of the Year. If I remember correctly, his name should be Lin You?"

Someone lowered their voice and spoke in surprise.

"It was him. Some time ago, I saw his duel with my own eyes at the Nova Duel Arena. This guy is abnormally strong."

Someone nodded and responded with surprise.

Several third-year students who recognized Lin You were talking to themselves, while more students who were kept in the dark listened with confusion.

What?

Is this guy a freshman?

What nonsense!

Unable to hold it in any longer, a suspicious senior student asked, "What are you talking about? He's a freshman this year?"

"Don't look at me like that."

An older student he was staring at spoke up, "He's indeed a freshman this year, the top freshman, and possibly the strongest of the past decade. You should have seen some of the news on the forums, right? He's the Lin You who's been so popular this year. About two weeks ago, he was already ranked 70th on the Rising Stars List."

"70th on the Rising Star List? Half a month ago?"

Several senior students looked incredulous.

We have all been through this, so we naturally know what this means.

Since I am a junior student, I spend relatively less time on campus, so I am not very clear about some things happening on campus.

Unless it is a really big event, like the National Freshman Exchange Competition in March next year, they all know about it.

As for Lin You, there are many rumors about him nowadays, but if you really don’t pay attention, you still won’t understand him.

By my junior year, I rarely visited university forums, and if I did, it was on the Duel Kingdom forum.

The world outside is so vast!

But this did not prevent them from being shocked after hearing these stories about Lin You.

"I never thought such a monster would appear in Jiangcheng High School this year. It's interesting, but this 'monster' has a strong desire for challenge. Isn't it a bit early for him to come here now?"

"I should be able to hold out for a while. If you dare to come here, you must be knowledgeable. You should have a certain level of confidence, but your understanding is not thorough enough."

Everyone was staring at Lin You. In the rest area, nearly ten senior students were discussing in low voices with great interest.

Just watched Lin You walk into the training area.

"How long do you think he can last in there?"

At this time, someone asked with a smile, not forgetting to express his own opinion, "I feel that five minutes should be the limit."

Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Five minutes isn't too long, but I don't think that's his limit. I'd guess ten!"

"You guys are so brave to guess."

An old student who had just learned about Lin You's deeds looked stunned.

Five minutes?

Ten minutes?

The top ten of the rising star list is about right!

These third-year students are talented, but not geniuses, at least not in Jiangcheng University.

Now I am on the fifth level, which means I can only hold on for ten minutes, which is pretty good!

At first glance, it seems nothing strange that Lin You and they have the same level of stress resistance.

Don't forget.

They are juniors!

Where is Lin You?

A freshman, even if he is a super rookie king, can he be compared like this?

Besides, he had just started school not long ago.

No matter how you think about it, this guess is not very realistic.

During this discussion among the old students, Lin You had already officially felt the pressure brought by this venue.

As soon as I entered the market, the pressure was already evident.

Without a trace of falsehood, the magical pressure of the fifth layer is indeed much stronger than that of the fourth layer.

But feeling this pressure, Lin You had only one feeling in his heart.

readily!

The magical debris accumulated in the body is being efficiently crushed by the heavy pressure of this magic power. How can it not be exciting?

Coming here is really the right thing to do!

I feel good, but as for pressure, well, there is a little.

But based on the current level, it is far from being a threat to him.

Being in this venue, enjoying the magical pressure here.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes!

After a short period of time, Lin You discovered that the fifth level, not only in terms of its strength itself, but also in terms of the degree of increasing magic pressure, was higher than the fourth level.

Of course, not too much more.

Even so, after five minutes, the pressure became more and more prominent.

"Look, what did I say? Judging from his expression, five minutes shouldn't be a big deal for him. Why not ten minutes?"

"It seems like there really is a chance, but this is too..."

In the rest area, a group of senior students watched intently for five minutes. The more they watched, the more frightened they became.

Looking at this trend, Lin You really has a chance to hold on for ten minutes!

The chance is not small!

If he really did that, wouldn't it be too outrageous?

Thinking of this, I felt excited but also a little nervous. Could I do it?

Under such attention, the tension and shock increased by three points with every passing minute.

Six minutes!

Seven minutes!

Lin You's expression remained calm and he continued to persist.

On the contrary, some old students who were previously in training have gradually withdrawn.

As soon as these old students finished their training, they saw the group of old students staring at Lin You without blinking, and their faces showed strange colors.

But when they saw Lin You, some of them were even more confused, while others seemed to know something and looked stunned.

One of the tall and thin men was even stunned.

Isn’t this guy the freshman that those youngsters outside were promoting just now?

How did you get here?

Are you kidding me?

Today is not April Fools' Day!

Just as I was in a daze, someone next to me asked me something.

"What are you guys looking at? You're so engrossed. Are you really looking at that guy? Who is that guy?"

“…”

However, no one paid any attention to him. They continued to stare at Lin You and mutter to themselves.

"Nine minutes, the ninth minute!"

"What nine minutes? Are you crazy? Are you guys here?"

Several senior students who had just finished training were confused. At this time, someone speculated, "This must be referring to the time Lin You will be training on the field. Nine minutes is a bit scary."

"Lin You? Is he the Rookie King who's been all the rage on the university forums these past few months?"

When it comes to Lin You, several old students know something about him.

I am a junior now and I seldom read my local forum, but there are always people paying attention.

As long as you pay attention, it is almost impossible to miss posts about Lin You.

Too many.

The popularity is also quite high!

"Who is Lin You? How come even you are playing dumb?"

Some people know it, but those who didn’t know it originally will be even more confused.

An old student couldn't help but explain with a smile, "Don't bury your head in training all day. Read more news. This guy is our university's super rookie of the year, and he might even be the strongest rookie of the past decade. I didn't expect him to be this strong. He lasted nine minutes here. The rumors are really true!"

Newcomer?

Nine minutes?

Now, these people understood.

But my jaw dropped in shock.

If that person hadn't specifically mentioned in his explanation that the other party might be the strongest newcomer in Jiangcheng High School in the past ten years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have believed even a single punctuation mark at this time.

Now, it seems somewhat convincing.

The premise is that Lin You’s talent is really as amazing as the other party evaluated.

"Ten minutes!"

Suddenly, someone exclaimed in surprise.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to Lin You who was training.

At this moment, Lin You had a little sweat on his forehead, which was quite interesting.

This pressure is a bit too much.

But it is still within the safe range.

It looks like I can only hold on for half an hour before reaching my limit.

Lin You roughly estimated in his mind that it was not going to work!

Half an hour might not be enough to clear out all the accumulated magical debris in the body at once.

The cleaning efficiency is quite high, but there is too much debris accumulated.

The magic power is all tending to be blocked, how can it be more?

Forget it, at worst I can just make up for it later.

Even if I can't get it right in one go this time, there's a 70% to 80% chance that it will be fine!

The pressure continues.

At this moment, the tall and thin old man finally reacted.

The person who is being watched by everyone and is currently cultivating is truly a newborn!

And he had persisted for a full ten minutes!

I was shocked!

The conversation between the freshmen echoed in my mind again.

The fourth level, withstand pressure for forty minutes!

Could it be...

He didn't dare to think further, so he held his breath and watched with everyone else.

This time, on this fifth floor, how long can he last?

Based on the results, the previous rumors may be verified.

On the field.

The pressure is also increasing.

Lin You gradually couldn't enjoy it wholeheartedly and frowned slightly.

The pressure is really great!

At this moment, thirteen minutes have passed.

I could clearly feel the increasing pressure, and soon, another two minutes passed.

Fifteen minutes!

More and more old students joined the queue, from the initial ** people to about ten people now.

They were all stunned.

Being able to withstand pressure to this extent has basically exceeded the pressure limit of everyone here.

On average, these people can only last seven or eight minutes, and ten minutes is considered good.

There are only two people who can truly reach the level of fifteen minutes.

These two are juniors on the duel list!

Of course, the one at the bottom!

But even so, it's still remarkable.

You know, the duel list is open to all students!

The value is much higher than that of the Rising Star List.

Being able to top the duel list basically means that you dominate the entire school in terms of duel strength!

But now, as a freshman, Lin You has reached the same level as the two veterans on the Duel List.

More importantly, he is still going!

Sixteen minutes, seventeen minutes, twenty minutes!

But now, as they watched, these people became a little numb.

This appearance also scared some junior students who came in later and were confused about what was going on.

It was quite scary. A group of people just stood there, staring at Lin You in the field without saying a word.

The worst thing is that Lin You is the only one left in such a huge venue!

In this situation, I don’t even dare to enter!

Didn’t you see that all the masters on the duel leaderboard were staying here?

Besides being frightened, I also felt like I was being tickled and was extremely curious.

Who is this person?

Is it worth everyone's attention?

And what exactly is going on?!

If they had come earlier, someone would have answered their questions, but at this moment, everyone was so immersed in it that they didn't even notice someone coming in later.

Even if they noticed it, they probably wouldn't care about it.

All attention is focused on Lin You!

At this moment, Lin You was also a little depressed.

If it weren't for the stares he received, he would have been so immersed in his cultivation that he would have known nothing about the situation in the rest area.

He was depressed. The pressure was much greater than he had imagined.

The originally estimated half an hour will most likely not be achieved.

From this perspective, the soul power is still a little lacking, it's not quite up to par!

I sighed in my heart, but soon stopped thinking about it.

There's no point in worrying about these things. We have to make two trips anyway, so we can't save on duel points.

That's it.

Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-five minutes!

Breathing became a little heavy.

So much pressure!

Lin You took a deep breath and forced himself to rush forward.

I can still carry it!

Twenty-six, twenty-seven minutes!

It’s broken, I can’t hold it anymore!

At this moment, under such great pressure, Lin You's facial expression was almost out of control. If it continued like this, it would probably be closer to Xiao Yi's facial expression.

Thinking of this, I decided to terminate it decisively while it was still decent!

In one breath, he walked out of the venue directly. As soon as he walked out, he saw a group of "spectator-eating people" coming towards him.

Come again?

Lin You raised his eyebrows slightly, but this time, he remained calm.

It's a small scene, not the first time it's happened, and not worth making a fuss about.

I didn't have the heart to greet these people. Of course, even if I did, seeing how stunned they looked, I might not be able to say anything.

Anyway, the venue is large, and these people watching will not block the exit, so the road is still unobstructed!

At this moment, Lin You was in a pretty good mood.

I just felt it roughly and found that my physical condition is much better than before.

As expected, 80% of the magical debris has been cleared.

That's enough.

If you find time to come back later, you don’t have to go to the fifth floor. You can go to the fourth floor and spend a few days digesting it, then you will be able to perfectly absorb these 50 points of magic power.

He played a tune happily and left leisurely.

Not long after they left, the entire fifth floor behind them was in an uproar!

That evening, a large number of posts from junior students began to sweep across the university forums in Jiangcheng!
