《Overlord in Cultivation》48. The Eighth Floor!
Advertisement
"So, there are differences in grade of test result?"
Su Yan was a little confused because that he had not heard of such a rule. Was the fact that Su Yan perform ed the formation lines by his body made the Training Pagoda think that Su Yan could make more achievements in terms of formation lines? So it started the core test!
In this way, the difficulty of test must have increased. Su Yan wanted to gain contribut ing points but hadn’t thought that the accidental score should bring him a more difficult test.
"What big news! Su Yan has passed the sixth floor of the Training Pagoda!"
This news shocked the Huaxia College. Many teachers were dumbfounded that Su Yan should pass the sixth floor! He really broke through the sixth foor, and this was his first time to participate in the test!
Anyone who had heard the news was amazed, and even Zuo Wenyao fell silent. Su Yan had broken through the sixth floor, not just the fifth!
The meaning was totally different. Su Yan certainly didn’t rely on luck. The result proved that his savvy was very amazing!
"Su Yan is a real blockbuster. He has already rushed to the top among these new students!"
"It is really fantastic. Now Su Yan is in the seventh floorof the Training Pagoda. A lot of students who have cultivated in the college for two or three years haven’t gotten to this level."
This news spread over the Huaxia College, which made all major forces shocked. Who could expect that Su Yan had such formidable ability? He reached the seventh level with absolutely strong posture and became the No. 1 among the freshmen!
"Quickly prepare some lavish gifts! Juniors of our clan should make friends with Su Yan!"
"It is incredible that Su Yan’s savvy has actually surpassed Teng Yingjie. How could a person from the Base No.9 surpass Teng Yingjie!"
"Su Yan has such savvy unexpectedly and being a disciple of Yi Yuan will be unworthy of his talents. I must find a way to let him become one of disciples!"
This news that a freshman reached the seventh floor and surpassed most of the senior students caused quite a sensation. Strong as Jing Yanghui was, it took him three years to reach the eighth floor, and he had not even passed the eighth floor.
“Su Yan has already broken through the sixth floor?”
Yi Yuan was gratified to hear this news, “Not bad! I really want to know what kind of test Su Yan is taking. It would be awesome if he triggered the core test; but if it is just the common test, it’s nothing extraordinary.”
Yi Yuan had taken the core test and knew it was very difficult, but the gain was totally different from that from the common test. The amazing heritage was hidden in Training Pagoda. Yi Yuan had got some, and he expected Su Yan could also got it!

The test of the seventh floor was beyond the expectation of Su Yan.
From a long distance, Su Yan saw a stone table with an old map made of hides on it.
" Is that heritage?"
Su Yan seemed very joyful, and quickly came near to the map. The immemorial aura releasing from the map gave Su Yan a sense of coming to ancient times.
Nobody knew how long the map had existed. Did the Training Pagoda derive from some ancient ruin? And no one had even passed all tests since the Training Pagoda existed!
“The first volume of Taoist Formation!”
Look at the big words on the map, Su Yan murmured, “Taoist Formation…The formation lines I saw in the sixth floor are likely to belong to this manual. This is the first volume. Let me see what is recorded here.”
Su Yan sat cross-legged on the ground and read the Taoist Formation with avid attention.
As the door of a brand-new world opened slowly, Su Yan seemed to break into the ocean of knowledge. His thoughts were subverted by what he read. He did not know that there was such a powerful cultivation method in the cultivation civilization.
“Control the power of heaven and earth, govern the source of nature, harness the nine heavens of galaxy, and then one can create a new world and dominate the universe.”
Su Yan was excited. He pored over every single sentence for the content of Taoist Formation was too esoteric. However, the mysterious cultivation method recorded in the first volume was easy to understand.
The first volume was the foundational part of Taoist Formation.
Performing the power of heaven and earth with the force of human body to preach the sermon to the world.
According to the descriptions in the map, formation lines could be carved by harnessing the power of the earth with the force of human body, thus they could exude the unimaginable power.
Though the formation pattern recorded on the map was the most ordinary one, it was still hard to understand. Only being carved with the force of human body could it be optimized.
“Amazing! I wonder who invented such a marvelous formation pattern. In contrast, the creation of martial arts is nothing.”
Su Yan considered formation pattern as a rarity, since it took him a whole day to finish the study and get general information of the formation pattern. He laughed involuntarily, “It’s impossible to make the tactical formation in sixth floor happen without the formation pattern on the map.”
Su Yan closed his eyes, deep in thought.
Su Yan was by no means the only challenger and many other people were struggling in different worlds in Training Pagoda, yet the pagoda was noiseless. It couldn’t be denied that Training Pagoda was an invaluable treasure of Huaxia College.
Su Yan’s spirit was running in the sea of his consciousness.
As another day passed, curious patterns in various types kept flashing in his mind!
Su Yan performed the formation lines by means of the force of meditation and visualization from Incipient Realm. It developed rapidly at the cost of abundant force of spirit.

Although fatigue suffused Su Yan’s face, he still kept his finger on writing and drawing something.
Sometimes he looked at the sky and muttered to himself; sometimes he recalled the picture first seen in the black ore.
Gradually, Su Yan’s body glowed with a strange sheen.
That was his body power which penetrated from each pore of his skin.
This power carried about plumes of power of formation lines. He was performing the formation lines on the hides map.
Su Yan’s qi seemed a little bit horrible when the third day came. It was miraculous that lots of strange patterns emerged on his body surface.
It was the presence of this kind of patterns that made the space where he stood warped slightly.
“Only ifwe use our bodies for tactical formation can we get into the Taoist Formation.”
“And only if we succeed in cultivating the Taoist Formation can we rein the natural power through our own body power.
“Yeah! That’s the feeling!”
Divine light which contained all sorts of human body power spread radiantly like a flash of lightning gushing out weird patterns from Su Yan’s sudden opened eyes, tearing the sky at one blow.
“That’s also a kind of cultivation method of operating the human body power. I can bring out mightier power by using body as a tactical formation!”
“The Taoist Formation is really extensive and profound!”
Su Yan was excited, for he had superficially comprehended the vast Taoist formation. He could even have operated these simple Taoist formations!
He took a deep breath and stood directly, staring at the air.
Performing formation lines by the power of the human body, Su lifted his hand and touched into the air with his forefinger which seemed to become a gigantic finger sliding in the space. Every stroke consumed plenty of qi and blood in his body. The power gushed out from his fingertip, showing the luster of formation lines!
A great deal of scrawly handwriting like some kind of ancient characters appeared. As Su Yan engraved the simplest wind formation, brilliant beams flashed from this formation pattern!
"Hum!"
When it burned up, it was like a gust of wild wind. And the formation lines carrying the divine power of the human body, as if a martial art was being performed, were blowing forward. Suddenly, a fierce gale sprang up in the whole space!
"Hahaha, it's amazing!”
Su Yan felt that he met a big opportunity. This was only the most superficial tactical formation. Thinking of the fifth floor's power of the Taoist formation, he even couldn't imagine how terrible it would be if he could master the power of nature!
"Keep trying!"
Su Yan picked up the map to view and study it again, and ran theIncipient Scriptureto recover his spiritual power at the same time.
It was not quiet outside the Training Pagoda. Su Yan had not come out yet. He had stayed in it for almost five days. Could he break through the seventh floor?
"It will be a bombshell if Su Yan passes the seventh floor!"
"Yes. Now only few of the core disciples can reach the eighth floor. Among them, Jing Yanghui is on the highest ranking."
"It is impossible to break through the seventh floor. Test in the seventh floor of the Training Pagoda is extremely difficult. So how is it possible for me to understand and master a martial art at the seventh floor within ten days. And the second time I tried to make a breakthrough, the martial art changed to another one! "
Everyone would meet a different test when he entered the seventh floor, but only one thing was similar: - it was the savvy that was the key point of the test. Only if the person had enough savvy, could he pass the test.
On the seventh day, there was a bang coming out from the seventh floor.
Su Yan's loose hair fluttered and the light in his pupils was chilling.
Torrents of light ran between his five fingers which seemed to be five magic pens writing and carving in the space, and making a harsh sound.
The divine power of Su Yan came out. With a roar from Su thundering, a big handprint appeared from his palm and branded in the air.
“Boom!”
Tremendous power gush out at the moment when the force of the big handprint revived and the formation lines embodied in it burned, blasting the air by its destructive energy.
Su Yan was looking forward to learning more advanced formation lines. This one was the simplest and it was not even a tactical formation!
Once the Taoist Formation was set, it could draw on the energy of nature and gather the natural momentum, which was extremely amazing.
“Congratulations! You've passed the core test on the seventh floor.”
A soft voice arose. Su Yan laughed and said, “Will there be more advanced formation methods on the eighth floor? I will feel like I hit the jackpot if I can get the means to deploy the formation lines. Those simple formation lines are useless to me now.”
Su Yan pushed the door of the eighth floor open and walked in.
His facial expression changed when found there was a person standing inside!
To be exact, a stunning beauty with jade-like skin and attractive figure stood there. Her neck was as snow-white as white jade and her jet-black hair hung to the slender waist.
Her eyes were watery and her lips were red. She was beautiful enough but her silver robe made her even more elegant.
Su Yan stared at her in amazement. He had never met such a beautiful girl. She was really a perfect masterpiece created by the God. No one could find flaws in her.

Swindle
—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
