Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 67: Lu Ran is emotionally stable and wants to talk! The fourth level is not enough!
In front of the Three-Step Pagoda stood two senior students from the main campus.

They have to stay here for three years before they can get a chance to enter the Three-Step Pagoda to practice. This shows how precious the opportunity to practice in the Three-Step Pagoda is.

Lu Ran left his senior schoolmate behind and approached alone. The two of them instantly frowned, and one of them shouted loudly:
"He who comes is stopped!"

The other person glanced at Lu Ran's face, was stunned for a moment, and said in shock:

"Are you the Demon King Lu Ran?!"

Lu Ran's mouth twitched. He felt very embarrassed when he saw this nickname on the Internet.

It’s okay to just talk about it online, but someone actually said it offline?
Lu Ran felt that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his toes.

Since the beast fighting competition, Lu Ran's reputation in Mingzhu Academy has skyrocketed.

This year's freshmen, whether they are ruthless people who devote themselves to training or unrestrained and freedom-loving lone rangers, have more or less heard of Lu Ran's name.

Lu Ran really blossomed at Mingzhu Academy.

Yes, you may not know the director or tutor of this department, but you definitely know and have heard of Lu Ran's name!

Even the old students in the main campus have more or less heard of Lu Ran's name.

For example, the two tower guards in front of him, when they saw Lu, their eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

Although they had never seen Lu Ran take action in person, the fact that Lu Ran single-handedly overthrew the entire department was well-known throughout the Magic City!

It is said that on that night, Lu Ran summoned two warriors and dozens of undead slaves!

Even some of the chiefs in the main campuses cannot match this record and strength!

"I'm here to claim the Three-Step Tower reward. Dean Xiao should have sent someone to inform him, right?" Lu Ran went straight to the point.

The two tower guards nodded quickly, and one of them bowed and welcomed Lu Ran in, and personally took him the rest of the way.

"Student Lu Ran, according to the rules, you will be training alone in the Three-Step Pagoda for the next seven days. This will be the best practice, but there is one thing you need to remember: you must come out before the seven days are up."

Lu Ran simply nodded.

Lu Ran's amiable appearance surprised the tower guard who was leading the way.

Looking at his face, he doesn't look like the kind of person who would snatch all the freshman resources from the school.

Seeing that Lu Ran was not as ferocious as imagined, the tower guard introduced him enthusiastically:
"This three-step tower is also called the Tower of Boundlessness. One step is a thousand miles away, and three steps are boundless."

"By the way, the higher the training platform, the richer the energy tide. However, breaking through the tower will consume a lot of magic energy, so Junior Brother Lu Ran must do it according to his ability."

After hearing this, Lu Ran smiled politely:
"Thank you."

After walking for a distance, Lu Ran went on alone for the rest of the journey.

When he returned, another tower guard asked quietly:

"Well, have you figured out his strength? Is Lu Ran really as strong as the rumors say?"

Senior Youshan shook his head and sighed:

"He's very strong, at least much stronger than me. I think that even if Lu Ran enters the main campus now, he will definitely be ranked in the top 30 of the Fire Academy and the Thunder Academy!"

The other person was silent.

Aren’t the new students these days too scary?
Not only is he handsome, he is also very powerful and has a high level of cultivation.

Which window did God close for him?

"By the way, you shouldn't have concealed the rules of the Three-Step Pagoda from him, right?"

The friendly senior rolled his eyes at him:
"How dare I? Lu Ran is now a big hit in Dean Xiao's eyes, and he's even hooking up with Mu Nujiao!
If he gets hurt in the tower and comes out to cause trouble for me, I might explode. He might even be kicked out of the academy."

The other person nodded and said, "That's good. Even if something happens to Lu Ran while he's climbing the tower, it has nothing to do with us."

"Some newcomers only think about climbing as high as possible when entering the Three-Step Pagoda for the first time, but ignore their own magic power reserves. I hope they can see their own limitations."

Senior Youshan seemed to have thought of something and said with a smile:

"I think Lu Ran is a good person. He is very low-key in his words and deeds. Well, his emotions are also very stable. He is not as evil as the rumors say. I want to talk to him."

"Tsk." Another companion sneered:
"This kind of person is the most terrifying. He may be friendly with you at ordinary times, but if you touch his reverse scale, you will definitely die miserably!"

"I think you should not provoke him. Someone like Lu Ran will have no shortage of lackeys. Besides, he is definitely a person who hates evil and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes."

Senior Youshan sighed helplessly, indicating that he had listened.

Inside the Three-Step Tower, after passing through a straight, dark corridor, a staircase leading upwards appeared in front of Lu Ran.

Lu Ran's mental power slightly extended in all directions, but he didn't feel anything.

Then, Lu Ran took out the space compass, placed it on his palm, and called upon it with his mental power.

"The Three-Step Tower must contain some very mysterious power of space and chaos, some kind of dimensional magic. It's truly magical."

After taking back the space compass, Lu Ran began to climb the tower.

As he stepped on the first step, an invisible pressure suddenly fell on Lu Ran's shoulders.

At the same time, the magic energy in Lu Ran's body was also consumed bit by bit.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes, knowing that this was the price of climbing the three-step tower, a test of the climber's mental will and magic power.

However, this is just a small extent and has no impact on him at all.

Easily reach the first level training platform.

Lu Ran indeed felt a surge of heaven and earth elements that were several times denser than those in the outside world rushing towards him.

However, Lu Ran did not stop and walked directly towards the stairs that appeared on the second-level training platform.

In the Three-Step Tower, the higher the level of the training platform, the more efficient the training will be.

When he arrived at the second-floor platform, Lu Ran was still relaxed and comfortable, and felt it was as easy as drinking water.

"That's it?"

He did not stop at the second floor and climbed straight to the third floor.

Lu Ran possesses four elements, double magic power, and his mental strength is at the second level. Climbing a tower is easy for him.

Arriving at the third-floor platform, Lu Ran took a quick look.

With every additional level climbed in the Three-Step Pagoda, the energy density of the elements of heaven and earth will double!
The first level is twenty times, the second level is forty times, and the third level is eighty times!
This does not include the efficiency of training enhancements such as the Nebula Magical Artifact!
When he reached the third floor, Lu Ran did not give up.

Most of the magic energy reserves in his body have not been consumed yet!

All four systems are at the intermediate level two, and Lu Ran would not be willing to just stay on the third-level platform to practice.

What's more, considering his spiritual realm, how can he still be full of energy? If he only practices at the third level, it would be a waste of time.

As Lu Ran expected, no accidents occurred during the climb to the fourth floor.

I just sweated a little, as if I had done a few hours of morning exercise.

However, the price is indeed high enough.

You know, Lu Ran didn’t seem to sweat so much when he dealt with the freshmen from Mingzhu Academy that day!
What is this called?
The Three-Step Pagoda is only slightly easier to fool than all the freshmen in the school.
