Chapter 151: Breaking Through Boundaries

As Li Yang quickly calculated the time he had per floor, a sinking realization settled within him. A mere 18 seconds per floor seemed impossible. The looming shadows of the wolf pack on the first floor made it clear that each layer would be a rigorous challenge. Was there any possible way to expedite his progress?

Suddenly, a wild idea popped into his mind. "What if the walls can be breached? I wouldn't need to go layer by layer then," he thought. Without a second thought, he summoned Ares, his most trusted ally. "Ares, aim for the ceiling of the first floor! Let's give it our all," he commanded.

Ares, in all his majesty, unleashed his most potent attack, the Purple Thunder Wave. A deafening roar echoed through the tower as a sizable hole appeared on the ceiling of the first layer. Without wasting a single second, Li Yang directed Ares to quickly fly him up through the hole to the second layer. To his astonishment, the damaged ceiling began to repair itself almost instantly, but they had made it through before it could seal completely.

"That actually worked!" exclaimed a shocked Li Yang. His unorthodox approach had paid off.

Outside, the grand screens displayed Li Yang's ingenious move, drawing gasps and murmurs of admiration from the crowd. Lord Arian raised an eyebrow, commenting, "This young man...always playing outside the rules." Mr. Henry, with a hearty laugh, retorted, "That's the pride of our academy!"

The other five mentors, watching intently, exchanged impressed glances. One of them remarked, "It's not just about strength or speed. It's about thinking outside the box. Li Yang has just redefined the game."

As Li Yang continued his ascent, he realized that his unconventional strategy might just be the key to conquering the tower in record time. With Ares by his side, and a renewed confidence, Li Yang prepared to face the challenges of the next layer, determined to break through every obstacle in his path.
