One minute.
He only took a minute to open his eyes.
"Hahaha, he lost."
"I told you, being stuck at fifty-eight is already troublesome, going to fifty-nine is just asking for a loss."
"Won."
Seeing Lin Chen wake up so quickly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Winning money and standing on moral high ground to criticize Lin Chen's downfall, it's quite a satisfying thing.
"Wait, what's he doing?"
Someone noticed something strange, because Lin Chen lowered his foot upward.
Even Daoist Zhang and other mentors were slightly stunned, revealing an incredulous look.
One minute to break through 59 steps?
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Chen's foot firmly landed on the fifty-ninth step.
At this moment, the entire scene erupted into chaos.
....
"Damn, I was tricked, I just placed my bet."
"I added too..."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, Fang You took ten minutes to reach fifty-nine steps, how did Lin Chen come out in less than a minute?"
The students' voices came incessantly, sweeping in like a storm.
Lin Chen was quite calm.
If it wasn't for testing the multiple effects of Soul-Calming Hoof·Illusion Spirit, even a minute would have been too long.
Now he was very sure, the fourth effect of Soul-Calming Hoof·Illusion Spirit is binding, also known as Mental Binding.
This was simply a huge surprise for Lin Chen.
Xiao Hong's Super Fireball is powerful, but slower in speed. If Xiaobai binds it in place, combining them wouldn't be too hard.
And it's also a huge boost to Xiaobai's own combined skill.
For instance, if the imagined enemy is Wang Xiangsheng's Armored Turtle, now Xiaobai doesn't need to struggle, just give it a kick, and its shell defense will be broken.
From Perfection Realm to Divine Enlightenment Realm, naturally, more than one effect is enhanced. Effects like dizziness, explosion, mental fatigue have all greatly improved.
Thus, while passing the fifty-ninth level, simply taking action was the best choice.
Under the Tier Three Barbaric Bloodline state, Xiaobai exhausted all its skills at once and was left breathless, so this time Lin Chen rested for a full twenty minutes.
But in the eyes of students, twenty minutes seemed too short.
"Could he really reach the sixtieth level?"
"Very likely."
"Fang You has come too, seems he heard Lin Chen reached fifty-nine steps in a minute and is very nervous."
Among the crowd, a student discovered Fang You's presence.
Fang You hurried over with the Nine Tribulation Beasts, staring intently at Lin Chen's position, listening to the discussion of fellow students nearby, but remained silent.
He was never much of a communicator.
Except this time, the students guessed wrong, he was here not because he doesn't want Lin Chen to ascend, but hopes he does.
All along, Fang You has been stuck at the sixtieth step, trying repeatedly without success.
Fang You thought maybe if Lin Chen ascended, it could impact the Nine Tribulation Beasts...
Perhaps, it could endure another tribulation.
Fang You wasn't so concerned about being first, but he's very serious about suppression.
Contracting with Nine Tribulation Beasts, being in first place isn't beneficial...
Being suppressed for ages, that's a good thing.
Even though it sounds a bit masochistic.
....
Lin Chen didn't know what these people below were thinking. After resting, he started heading towards the sixtieth layer with Xiaobai and Xiao Hong.
The mentors below narrowed their eyes.
In the history of freshmen who reached the sixtieth level, now in the Cangling Ancient Country, they are all famous powers.
