It took Kent five minutes to reach the second level.
The steps leading to the 2nd level were much more challenging to climb, considering the air there was comparable to the core region of the Flame Valley.
Kent had already been there, so it was easy for him to gauge that.
However, with his 'Flame Resistance,' 'Diamond Body Cultivation,' 'Eternal Draconic Jade Body,' and finally, his 'Chaos Soul Flame' at work, he walked upward like he was taking a stroll across the countryside.
On the way, he passed by a few dozen geniuses doing everything they could to climb to the second floor.
He saw a few who he knew wouldn't be able to make it and would have to go back to the first floor. He passed by a few who could make it, but whose chances of learning a Flame Art would be slim, and then those who knew what they were doing and would gain something from it.
