Su Chen stood before the formation in the latter part, observing it carefully once again!
He had to get through this section of rocks because the staircase to the eighth level was behind this rocky area!
However, this ti, the situation seed quite unfavorable!
After observing for a while, his eyebrows tightened more and more!
It wasn't because the formation was too difficult or anything, but he simply couldn't understand it!
If it were just difficult, he could unravel it slowly and find a way eventually!
But the current situation was that he couldn't find any clue regarding these rocks!
At this mont, he was sowhat frustrated, the previous formation was cracked without much effort, but this one, he couldn't even comprehend!
This disparity was simply too great!
At this mont, Su Chen inevitably felt sowhat anxious, but he quickly reminded himself to stay calm!
Right now, only by staying calm could he best address the issue at hand...
He took several deep breaths again, trying to keep his mind calm while observing and pondering!
...
Outside the Heaven Tower, the crowd was also slightly restless!
Why was the seventh level tower light still on?!
After all, that young man had passed through the first six levels in a relatively short amount of ti!
The ti spent lingering on the seventh level was already several tis longer than before altogether!
Ji Ping and others were naturally worried about Su Chen's situation, but they couldn't do anything!
Fortunately, they knew he hadn't t with any misfortune; if anything unfortunate had happened, the small door he entered through would automatically open!
The rest of the crowd naturally wasn't too worried; they just wanted to see if the young man could make it through the seventh level!
This had extraordinary significance!
Once he reached the eighth level, he would be just like that legendary figure in the Ruin Realm!
That would be a true legend!
The Ruin Realm still circulated his legends everywhere!
Those deeds inspired generations of the Ruin Realm's young people to climb the higher peaks of Martial Arts!
Now, in front of them, there was a young man who might also reach his height!
At this thought, everyone beca extrely excited!
However, whether this unfamiliar young man could really achieve it was still an unknown!
Honestly, most people didn't really believe it!
After all, that legend was so lofty and sacred in the hearts of all people in the Ruin Realm, not just young people!
Moreover, they hadn't known this young man before; he was a complete stranger, making it all the harder to imagine!
...
Su Chen naturally didn't know what was happening outside or what others were thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care!
At the mont, he was only concerned about one thing!
How to crack the formation in front of him!
Another period of ti passed, yet he was still as confused as when he first encountered formations!
If it were so special grand formation or had other distinctive qualities, it might have been understandable!
After all, Su Chen never dared claim to have fully mastered The Way of Formation!
Though Su Chen was confident, he was not blindly confident; he knew too many things were unknown to him!
But the key was the formation in front of him and the one he had just deciphered looked so similar, it should belong to the sa category!
It was like a middle school student doing math problems; clearly, the problem seed familiar and he thought he could solve it, but simply couldn't!
If it were a college problem like calculus, that would clearly be beyond his knowledge, and not understanding it would be acceptable!
This feeling was tornting, but fortunately, Su Chen could still maintain a calm and thoughtful mind!
Su Chen pondered for a while longer, yet ca up with nothing!
At this mont, an astonishing idea suddenly flashed through his mind!
Could this not be a formation at all, but just randomly arranged?
This thought startled even Su Chen himself!
If so, wouldn't that be too absurd?!
It was simply laughable!
This was the seventh level of the Heaven Tower, a place so many people wanted to ascend!
Su Chen also felt it was unlikely, but once the idea erged, it took root in his mind, seeming more plausible the more he considered it!
After thinking for a while longer, the feeling in Su Chen grew even stronger!
Of course, this strong sense was based on his understanding of The Way of Formation!
From his perspective, he was almost certain of this idea!
But the tricky issue now was whether to really try it!
If sothing went wrong when he was in the middle of it and he wanted to retreat, it might be too late by then!
Moreover, not only those terrifying arrows might erge, but even more horrifying things could happen!
Who knows?!
There was definitely an elent of gamble in this; although he thought it should be this way, believing it didn't make it an objective fact!
In short, if reality wasn't what he imagined, the consequences could be dire, even life-threatening!
But if he didn't try, he wouldn't be reconciled!
Besides, he wanted to see what the eighth layer, the ninth layer, were like!
Su Chen thought for a mont and decided to give it a try!
He lifted one foot, put it down, and lifted the other foot, stepping again...
At this mont, to say he wasn't nervous is impossible!
He was human, not a god!
No matter how strong his psychological resilience, he couldn't completely ignore life and death!
Of course, he wasn't gambling blindly; if so, there would be no point!
Courage wasn't just reckless bravery; if it were, he felt the aning would be lost!
At least, he had so confidence in his heart that his guess was correct!
Moreover, even if it wasn't as he thought and an unexpected event occurred, it didn't necessarily an certain death!
After all, he still had the Calm Spirit Body Technique and Wind Shadow Step, those two great treasures, which, although they couldn't completely ignore the dangers, could minimize the harm!
But no matter what, he ultimately had to bear a certain risk to his life!
Truth be told, his previous hesitation was mainly because he had too many ties now!
Those people in the manor, so true friends, his aunt Su Jin, and his old ghost master, among others...
However, with Su Chen's character, not giving it a try was impossible, especially when he felt so strongly!
He wouldn't be reconciled!
This was also the heart of the purest Martial Artist!
Throughout this journey, he tread carefully, as if walking on thin ice, with cold sweat already dripping down!
His body was completely tensed to the limit, ready to respond to any sudden situation at any mont!
