Ultimate Scheming System

Ultimate Scheming System Chapter 97

Xu Que swallowed the ten pills and realized that they tasted bland as if he was swallowing air.

"Boom!" In the next moment, he felt like as though his brain just exploded and he received clarity of thought instantaneously.

He could feel a certain sensitivity in his mind as if he knew and understood every single corner and space of the first level in this Tower of Souls!

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully assimilating the Empty Skill Pill. Your soul strength and mental resistance has increased by 10%!"

Soon after the system rang out, Xu Que looked like he just awoke from a long and deep slumber. He felt as if there was an immense amount of energy in his body and the speed at which his thoughts were being processed was much faster.

"So these are the advantages of having increased mental fortitude and soul strength. It's simply amazing. If I had known about this earlier, I would have tried some pills sooner." Xu Que's lips curled into a smile as he took large strides and walked towards the second level confidently.

"Eh? Look! That black robed kid has finally moved!"

"That's strange. It was obvious that he was stuck after two steps. How did he manage to resolve that problem?"

"Could it be... After his soul got used to the pressure, he could break out of it?"

"How could it be? Although the powers of the mind and the soul are extremely profound and mysterious, how could he have acclimatized so quickly?"

When the group of cultivators outside realized that Xu Que had moved, they were all roused and broke out in frantic chatter.

The group of cultivators who had came from the second stage all gave out smiles that implied "we told you so".

"Haha! Indeed, he finally moved."

"Thankfully, we're not trapped inside with him. I'm sure he was just pretending to be trapped."

"That's right. He wanted more people to enter the tower. Thankfully we managed to stay out."

"That Hua Wu Que is really scary. Heheh... the people inside the tower with him are in for a treat."

At the same time, on the second level of the Tower of Souls...

Several cultivators were stuck at this stage. Each of them had pained and severe expressions written across their faces. They were in deep concentration as they gathered their strengths and repelled the crushing pressure to the best of their abilities.

In actual fact, this crushing pressure upon their souls would help them to become stronger. The longer they remained under such pressure, the better they can get acclimatized to it and move on. So, the better they can adapt, the higher their chances of making it through to the third level.

That was how it normally was. However, now that Xu Que was around, the situation is different.

"Hahaha! It's so hilarious that it's killing me. Why are you all standing still and not moving?" Xu Que came up to the second level and burst out into laughter. He glared at those cultivators who had mocked and taunted him earlier.

The few of them finally managed to concentrate their thoughts after a long time. At this point, they were shocked and distracted by the sound of Xu Que's laughter. They were clearly incensed and threw him angry looks.

Soon after, whatever they saw astounded them.

Xu Que, who was the butt of their taunts was walking over towards them effortlessly. He had a grin on his face and walked confidently, swinging his hands like a big time mafia in his own turf.
