~9 min read 1,716 words

Stepping onto the stairs leading to the third floor, the Fragrant Sky Valley disciples outside the tower immediately moved the tower window upward, constantly observing Xu Que's movements, not daring to relax their vigilance in the slightest, fearing that Xu Que would stir up more trouble!

However, when Xu Que stepped into the third floor, a massive pressure descended upon him once again.

Like surging waves, like a flooding river, it rushed toward him instantly!

Xu Que's whole body shook, he almost lost his footing and was nearly swept away by this immense pressure, but he gritted his teeth and held on firmly.

Hold the origin and guard the one! Concentrate!

This is the best way to deal with divine soul pressure!

It wasn't just him; everyone else on the third floor of the Spiritual Realm Tower was the same. Everyone felt as if they were carrying a giant mountain, their expressions tense, unable to move an inch!

"Look, the black-robed youth has been suppressed!"

"He just stepped into the entrance of the third floor, why is he suppressed again? Wasn't he very relaxed on the second floor?"

"It seems he was just gritting his teeth and holding on, and now that he's reached the third floor, his strength has been exposed."

"As expected, he's not up to it. But with his Golden Core Stage Perfection cultivation, being able to step into the third floor and hold on for a while is not bad!"

"Yeah, it's considered a normal level!"

"That's good, at least we don't have to worry about him stirring up more trouble on the third floor."

The crowd outside the tower discussed as they saw Xu Que fixed at the entrance of the third floor.

Some felt it was a pity, some felt disdain, and some maintained a suspicious attitude.

For example, that group of cultivators from the second stage, seeing this scene, had the same first reaction as before: 'I don't believe your evil, this guy must be pretending.'

And the few cultivators who had been angered out of the second floor by Xu Que, although still angry, had a bit of schadenfreude in their eyes.

"Hmph, I originally thought he was another kid with an amazing divine soul, didn't expect him to fail as soon as he reached the third floor."

"What trash!"

"And he only just reached the entrance of the third floor, I'm afraid he can't even rank in the top hundred!"

"Serves him right. As long as he can't join the Fragrant Sky Valley in the end, we can make a move on him and cut him into a thousand pieces!"

……

At the same time, on the third floor of the Spiritual Realm Tower.

"Damn, just how weak is my divine soul power! Forcing me to take drugs!"

Xu Que's legs trembled repeatedly, he gritted his teeth, cursed inwardly, and without hesitation entered the mall interface, spent 500 Acting Cool Points, and bought a drop of "Profound Ice Green Fire Dew" in one go!

"System, I can't move, feed me the Profound Ice Green Fire Dew!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for consuming a drop of 'Profound Ice Green Fire Dew'. Divine soul power increased by 60%!"

Boom!

In an instant, Xu Que felt his brain region explode again!

It was as if someone had thrown an atomic bomb inside, and then it exploded instantly, leaving nothing behind, his mind a complete blank.

But the next moment, all memories and thoughts returned, but his brain region had become extremely vast, having been forcibly opened up by an extra 60% range.

Xu Que also understood that the strength of divine soul power is determined by the breadth of the brain region.

He came to his senses, and the suffocating pressure on his body had disappeared. His whole person became extremely relaxed, and this time, it felt no different from when he was outside the tower; he couldn't feel a shred of pressure.

"Oh my, refreshing!"

Xu Que roared!

The cultivators on the entire third floor were awakened one after another.

With a "pfft" sound, two cultivators who were already holding on with all their might were instantly distracted, and on the spot, they disappeared from the spot and appeared outside the tower.

Both were full of anger and unwillingness, but they had no way to vent it. After all, they were the ones who had mocked Xu Que on the first floor, and Xu Que was just paying them back!

And the crowd outside the tower didn't pay any attention to the two cultivators who were teleported out, instead showing looks of shock, staring dumbfoundedly at Xu Que in the tower window.

"This…… how is this possible?"

"In just a few breaths, his divine soul power has broken through again!"

"What exactly happened?"

"He was clearly suppressed just now, and now the pressure has suddenly dissolved. Was he pretending from the beginning, or did he really break through?"

"Too strong. Look at this guy shaking his feet and shoulders on the third floor, as if the divine soul pressure has no effect on him at all."

Everyone exclaimed in amazement, feeling very astonished!

Only that group of cultivators from the second stage revealed a smile of "having seen through everything" again, feeling a bit proud in their hearts, feeling that they were so witty and smart!

……

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 30 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool. Reward: 40 Acting Cool Points!"

In one go, Xu Que had another 70 Acting Cool Points in his account.

But he felt it was still a loss. He spent 500 Acting Cool Points to buy a drop of "Profound Ice Green Fire Dew". Although it did increase his divine soul power, only harvesting such a small cost was definitely not acceptable.

He walked with his hands behind his back, chest puffed out, head held high, strolling slowly around the third floor of the tower.

Like a leader inspecting, he swayed back and forth in front of the dozens of cultivators who were fixed in place……

But those dozens of people couldn't pay attention, their eyes tightly closed, not even having the energy to spare a shred of divine soul to warn Xu Que, still gritting their teeth to resist the pressure.

Xu Que strolled around and felt it was boring, so he walked toward the tower window and looked down at the crowd below.

The Fragrant Sky Valley disciples came to their senses, their eyelids twitched, and they hurriedly said: "Daoist friend, since you have such strong divine soul power, you should hurry up and go to the fourth floor!"

"Fourth floor? No rush, there's no one up there, and I haven't eaten my fill yet, I want to eat something first." Xu Que waved his hand and replied indifferently.

"Hiss!"

The crowd outside the tower gasped.

It's over, this guy is going to stir up trouble again!

The Fragrant Sky Valley disciple also said anxiously: "Daoist friend, you promised me just now that you wouldn't eat anything!"

"Bullshit, I promised you I wouldn't eat anything with too strong a fragrance." Xu Que replied.

Everyone was stunned. Not eating anything with too strong a fragrance? Then what will he eat? Is he really hungry and wants to eat some normal dry rations?

The Fragrant Sky Valley disciple was also stunned for a moment and asked: "Then…… Daoist friend, what will you eat?"

"Don't worry, I know that too strong a fragrance will arouse other people's appetite and make them unable to concentrate on the trial. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't think of others, so don't worry, I'll just eat something casual!" Xu Que said.

Hearing this, the crowd outside the tower couldn't help but nod slightly.

"It seems this black-robed youth is quite good."

"Yeah, knowing when to stop, he's a person of good character who knows how to grasp the measure."

The Fragrant Sky Valley disciple also cupped his hands: "Many thanks, Daoist friend!"

Only that group of cultivators from the second stage were full of suspicion, still not quite believing Xu Que's words.

Thus, the next moment, they watched Xu Que take out an iron pot, followed by some strange bottles and jars……

"Knew it wasn't that simple. Such a big setup, he must be wanting to cook something else." The cultivators from the second stage secretly thought one after another.

The Fragrant Sky Valley disciple's mouth twitched, and he shouted: "Daoist friend, please don't do this, otherwise we won't be able to explain it."

"Don't worry, I keep my word. If the fragrance affects them, I will swallow feces and kill myself on the spot!"

Xu Que said, patting his chest.

Immediately after, he started pouring oil into the iron pot, then sat on the ground, drilled wood to make fire again, started a fire, and began heating the oil!

The crowd under the tower watched him quietly, their moods and expressions complex and strange.

Clearly here to watch everyone pass the trial, how did it turn into watching the black-robed youth cook? And it's in the Spiritual Realm Tower……

Before long, the oil in the iron pot started to smoke, the oil temperature rose, and it gradually became boiling hot.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows, hurriedly opened the system package, took out the "Changsha Stinky Tofu" he had just exchanged for, and dumped it all into the iron pot!

"Gurgle gurgle……"

The stinky tofu rolled in the oil, heating up.

Instantly, a nauseating stench permeated from the iron pot, covering the third floor of the Spiritual Realm Tower and spreading far and wide.

"Ugh! What is this smell?"

"It's like……!"

"Damn it……"

The expressions of the crowd outside the tower changed drastically, and they covered their noses and mouths one after another.

The Fragrant Sky Valley disciples were both angry and anxious. Only now did they realize that when that guy said he wouldn't cook anything fragrant, he meant he was going to cook something smelly!

The group of cultivators who had come from the second stage were also completely dumbfounded, their faces filled with horror, muttering: "Young Hero Hua…… is actually cooking *!" ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
