He had assumed he would be the only one here. He remembered Yan City's strongest symbolist was the girl called Zi Yue, and her limit was the sixth floor.
Seeing others ascend, he was shocked.
Hum!
Another surge of spiritual energy came, and someone passed through the barrier—Lin Dong.
"Another one!" Zhou Tong's surprise showed.
"You aiming for the eighth floor? Step aside if not—I'll go."
Lin Xuan approached calmly.
"Eighth floor?!"
Zhou Tong sneered, unconvinced.
As the strongest young symbolist of Tianhuo City, he was proud and usually low-key.
He had tried before and failed. There was no way he believed Lin Xuan and Lin Dong would succeed.
"The eighth floor barrier is extremely strong. Ordinary Third Seal Symbolists can't surpass it, and even Fourth Seal Symbolists feel pressure. Stay on the seventh floor and see who lasts longest!"
While Zhou Tong spoke, Lin Xuan steadily walked past him.
The pressure was intense, but not his limit.
Boom!
Lin Xuan stomped, charging the barrier. Three Tianxuan Symbol Seals appeared between his brows, transforming into three deep spiritual whirlpools as he approached.
The immense spiritual pressure around him was absorbed into the whirlpools, refined, and fused into his Mud Pellet Palace!
His pressure halved, and he surged into the eighth floor.
"Impossible!"
Zhou Tong's eyes widened in disbelief.
Whoa, someone reached the eighth floor… who could it be?"
Everyone was shocked. In previous years, the highest reached was the sixth floor.
This year, one at sixth, one at seventh, and now two at eighth....
ridiculous!
"One must be Zhou Tong; he's already a Third Seal Symbolist," Tianhuo City's symbolists claimed, admiration in their eyes.
Yan City's symbolists assumed it was Lin Xuan, given he had already displayed Third Seal Symbolist-level strength when killing Yue Shan.
Before the results emerged, both sides remained calm.
Inside the eighth floor, Lin Xuan felt immense pressure, barely able to straighten his body.
"If not for the Tianxuan Symbol Seals, I couldn't have climbed up here," he murmured. The seals, as his innate Heavenly Symbols, absorbed spiritual energy while mitigating some of the mental pressure.
Zhou Tong's spiritual power was not weak, but his ordinary innate Symbol Seals were ineffective against the eighth floor's barrier, leaving him helpless.
"Ah!"
Lin Dong charged up but was immediately pressed down by the powerful spiritual pressure, knees buckling.
"This spiritual pressure is intense!" Lin Dong gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stand.
Brother Lin Xuan, where's the Qi-level spiritual secret technique?"
He braced against the pressure, eyes scanning, excitement in his voice.
Experiencing the Three Talents Symbol Sword Array taught by Yan Xuan had given him a new appreciation of Qi-level spiritual techniques.
Their power could surpass Fifth-grade martial arts.
"It should be over there."
Lin Xuan pointed to the center, where a single stone stele stood.....the only feature on this floor.
The stele was roughly a zhang high, unremarkable at first glance. Yet on its surface was a subtle, nearly imperceptible spiritual fluctuation.
With his Insight Eyes, Lin Xuan easily discerned the spiritual energy covering the stone.
"Why is there no information on it?" Lin Dong frowned, looking at the blank surface.
"The transmission method for a symbolist's legacy is special. Let me try."
Lin Xuan extended his finger, lightly touching the stone.
The moment he made contact, the spiritual fluctuation expanded and, with a hum, formed a vast, intricate pattern in midair before them.
Within the patterns floated spiritual characters, unfolding into an array.
"Transformation Symbol Array…"
Lin Xuan murmured.
After a glance, he had almost memorized it. With the prior knowledge of the Three Talents Symbol Sword Array, understanding the Transformation Symbol Array became much easier.
Memorized?"
After a moment, Lin Xuan asked Lin Dong.
"Not quite!" Lin Dong hesitated.
He marveled at how fast Lin Xuan had absorbed it; he himself had memorized less than half.
"Still not memorized?"
Lin Xuan had a sudden idea and tried creating a task in his mind:
[Task: Teach Lin Dong the Transformation Symbol Array. Reward: +2 Fortune, +2 Charm, +2 Comprehension]
A smile spread across Lin Xuan's face. "I'll teach you later. For now, cultivate....don't waste time!"
With a wave of his hand, the spiritual energy forming the arcane array flew into his palm.
By observation, the Transformation Symbol Array could be transmitted directly by merging spiritual energy.
Similar to system rewards, it imprinted the technique into the mind, easy to comprehend and retain.
Lin Xuan planned to use this transmitted array to advance Zi Yue.
He also set up another task:
[Task: Gift Zi Yue the Transformation Symbol Array. Reward: Enhanced Transformation Symbol Array, God-level Spiritual Secret Technique: Five Elements Destruction Array!]
