Chapter 67: Are You Showing Off in Front of Me? (Part 1)
The Three-Step Tower is located in the main campus of Pearl Academy and serves as a sacred place for cultivating talent!
Only those who perform exceptionally well on the main campus are eligible to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation.
After all, the cultivation speed inside is significantly faster than outside, achieving results in one day that would take dozens of days otherwise.
«Three-Step Tower!» Mu Lei's eyes lit up with longing when he heard Song Jie mention it.
He had heard about the Three-Step Tower of Pearl Academy, but didn't know if he would ever have the chance to cultivate there.
Mu Lei said, «Song Jie, you've struck it rich this time.»
…
Early the next morning, Song Jie found Dean Xiao discussing something with Old Deng.
Seeing Song Jie walk in, Old Deng just glanced at him and then looked away.
Song Jie approached Old Deng and asked, «Professor Deng, you're not planning to renege, are you? I've been waiting for days and haven't heard you mention the spiritual magic tools!»
Old Deng glanced at him, «Don't worry, I'm currently looking for that type of magic tool for you.»
Song Jie replied, «That's good. I'll show it to Dean Xiao. If the magic tool is no good, I won't take it.»
Old Deng was so angry that he almost broke his remaining teeth!
Seeing this, Song Jie smiled and ignored Old Deng.
«Dean Xiao, I need to talk to you.»
«What is it?»
«I want to enter the Three-Step Tower for cultivation,» Song Jie said.
«Alright,» Dean Xiao nodded. «When do you want to go in?»
«Today, if possible. The sooner, the better!» Song Jie said.
«Then today it is. I need to go to the main campus anyway,» Dean Xiao stood up.
«Great!»
Song Jie nodded heavily and followed Dean Xiao out of the dean's office.
Old Deng didn't follow but went about his own business.
After a while, Song Jie and Dean Xiao arrived at the main campus and reached the Three-Step Tower.
At that moment, a few people were guarding the perimeter of the Three-Step Tower.
«Dean Xiao!» They greeted him with respect.
«I brought a student to enter the Three-Step Tower. Please escort him inside,» Dean Xiao instructed.
They looked at Song Jie with envy.
«Come with us,» the young leader said, and Song Jie followed him to the entrance of the Three-Step Tower.
«You can enter from here,» the person said.
Song Jie nodded and stepped into the Three-Step Tower without hesitation!
Before entering, he had asked Dean Xiao some questions about the Three-Step Tower.
He could cultivate in the Three-Step Tower for seven days, after which he had to leave.
Inside, Song Jie saw the staircase ahead of him.
He looked up at the several flights of stairs between the three levels. Each step up consumed his magic energy!
This was information he got from Dean Xiao!
At the same time, Song Jie remembered the storyline where Mo Fan entered the Three-Step Tower to cultivate!
«Too bad I'm not naturally dual-elemental; I don't have enough magic energy to support climbing to higher levels for cultivation,» Song Jie thought, shaking his head.
The cultivation speed on the first level is 20 times normal!
The cultivation speed on the second level is 40 times!
The cultivation speed on the third level is 80 times!
Normally, just a single level's difference means that cultivating on the second level for one day equals 40 days outside! That's 20 days more than the first level!
The third level is even more extreme, adding another 40 days over the first level!
So the level is incredibly important for those coming in to cultivate!!
But Song Jie was powerless, forced to cultivate on the first level.
As he stepped onto the stairs, he felt his magic energy rapidly depleting with each step!
By the time Song Jie reached the first level, his magic energy was almost exhausted!
«I wonder if reaching the intermediate level in summoning will allow me to reach the second level!» Song Jie mused.
Meanwhile, his light element would also break through to the second level, giving him a chance to try!
Though Song Jie wanted to cultivate on the second level, he knew not to rush it.
He calmed his inner turmoil, preparing to start his cultivation!
In the Three-Step Tower, every second counted. Seven days was enough time for significant improvement!
Moreover, he had a bronze bracelet that could double his cultivation speed!!
For example, on the first level, his cultivation speed was 20 times, and with the bracelet's 2.5 times boost, his speed was 50 times!
That meant one day of cultivation in the Three-Step Tower equaled 50 days outside!!
…
Seven days passed quickly.
During this time, Song Jie not only advanced his summoning element to intermediate level two.
His intermediate light element also reached level two, just one step from level three!
Awakening from cultivation, Song Jie checked the time and left the Three-Step Tower.
Though he could contract with monsters, he needed to find a suitable summoned beast.
As soon as Song Jie left the Three-Step Tower, he received a message from Mo Fan.
He had told Mo Fan earlier that he would be cultivating in the Three-Step Tower, and Mo Fan messaged him just as he came out.
Song Jie exited the campus and went to the location Mo Fan sent him.
On a roadside open space, there was a bustling barbecue stall.
It was evening, and after a long day's work, they liked to sit down to eat, drink, and chat.
Seeing Song Jie, Mo Fan stood up and waved.
Song Jie walked towards the barbecue stall.
«Brother Jie, the barbecue here is amazing. Once you try it, you'll want to come back,» Mo Fan said.
Song Jie nodded and looked at Ye Xinxia, who was sitting in a wheelchair, her silky hair falling like a waterfall over her shoulders.
Her clear eyes were looking at Song Jie, and when their eyes met, she smiled sweetly.
Song Jie smiled back and sat down.
After the owner served the food, the three chatted while eating.
A while later, Mo Fan received a call from Mo Jiaxing, asking for help.
«Brother Jie, I need to help my dad. Please take care of Xinxia,» Mo Fan said.
«Go ahead. I'll take Xinxia home later,» Song Jie nodded.
After Mo Fan left, the two fell silent.
Song Jie asked, «What are your plans for the future?»
«I'm self-studying now, planning to take the college entrance exam,» Ye Xinxia replied.
Song Jie nodded, chatting with her casually.
After eating and drinking, seeing Mo Fan hadn't returned, he decided to take Ye Xinxia home.
Originally, Mo Fan was treating, but the scoundrel left, so Song Jie had to pay!
Pushing Ye Xinxia forward, a burly man got out of a BMW ahead.
«Hey, kid, I didn't expect you to like this kind of thing too. We're alike!» the man said sleazily.
«Scram!»
Song Jie glanced at him.
The man wasn't angry, deliberately pressing his car key to mock the poor guy in front of him!
Seeing this, Song Jie stopped.
Noticing something was off, Ye Xinxia turned and said, «Song Jie…»
But Song Jie raised his hand, cutting her off.
The next moment, he completed the summoning star track, and the Wind Eagle emerged from the dimensional space, its massive body appearing before the man.
Startled, the man stepped back, his face full of shock.
Song Jie glanced at the terrified man, then approached Ye Xinxia and lifted her up.
Ye Xinxia hesitated but, remembering the man's earlier mockery, let him carry her.
The Wind Eagle grabbed the wheelchair and flapped its wings, hitting the air conditioner outside the building.
In the next second, the air conditioner fell heavily onto the BMW.
Seeing this, the man nearly fainted; the car was rented to show off!!
