Chapter 73 Level Nebula
Xu Mu walked steadily up the stairs, his target locked on the triangular metal platform on the first floor. At first, he walked very easily and did not encounter any obstacles around him.
But as he continued to climb, with every step he took, the magic energy was consumed faster and faster. When he had walked halfway up the stairs, one third of his space magic energy had been consumed.
"This is not even the first floor and it consumes so much magic energy. If you are not a fully-trained beginner mage, you can only stare and watch even if you come into this three-step tower." Xu Mu said to himself.
With each step up, the gravity superposition effect of space is significantly enhanced, which directly leads to the magician's magic energy consumption rate being forced to increase.
The threshold for entering the Three-Step Tower is set at full initial cultivation, because only the magic energy reserves of full initial cultivation can allow a magician to come to the first level for cultivation.
The element concentration of the first-level triangular training platform is twenty times that of the outside world. Practicing here for one hour can accumulate the equivalent of a whole day of meditation in the outside world, which greatly improves the efficiency of practice.
Although the first level is good, it is not Xu Mu’s end point.
Xu Mu's lightning nebula magic energy reserves are three times that of a normal nebula. He has every chance of sprinting to the third level, or even the fourth level!
Without any effort, Xu Mu quickly reached the triangular metal platform on the first floor. Without any hesitation, he immediately stepped onto the suspended staircase leading to the second floor.
The concentration of elements doubled on each floor of the three-step tower. The first floor reached a shocking twenty times concentration, and on the second floor, the number rose to a staggering forty times.
This kind of environment allows magicians to practice on the second level for one day and gain the equivalent of more than three months of hard training in the outside world.
"The second level actually consumes so much magic energy!"
When he came to the triangular metal platform on the second floor, Xu Mu unexpectedly discovered that the magic energy stored in the lightning nebula had been reduced by one third!
Obviously, only magicians who have reached the second level of intermediate level in one system or the first level of intermediate level in two systems are qualified to come to the second-level platform to practice.
Of course, the children of aristocratic families are not among them. If they come to the Three-Step Tower to practice, they will definitely prepare various magic weapons or potions that can store magic energy, restore magic energy, and make magic energy potions.
Cheating also requires krypton gold!
"I have to practice the space system to the intermediate level first, and then move on to the third level." Xu Mu made up his mind to practice on the second level for a day, and then move on to the third level after the space system breaks through the intermediate level.
The effect of cultivation on the second level is simply amazing. The increase in nebula is as high as one hundred times, and the increase in stardust is more than one hundred and sixty times.
This means that if Xu Mu spends one day here practicing the space system, the effect can be equivalent to five months of hard practice outside.
Xu Mu's space magic cultivation has long been perfected, and his thunder magic is intermediate. Once a certain magic reaches the intermediate level, subsequent magic breakthroughs will often be smoother.
After one day of practice, the space stardust increased rapidly, and he was promoted to the nebula level smoothly and painlessly!
"Cool!"
Xu Mu clenched his fists, feeling the majestic space nebula in his spiritual world. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, unable to hide the joy and pride in his heart.
Finally broke through the nebula!
"It's the thunder system next!"
After Xu Mu was ready, he headed towards the third floor.
He had no idea of controlling the stars in this three-step tower. Admittedly, controlling the stars here could also bring an extremely fast bonus, but this idea... was too extravagant.
It is even more luxurious than using spirit to strengthen stars.
As for the control of the stars, he went back and slowly practiced it himself.
Xu Mu stepped onto the stairs leading to the third triangular metal platform. With every step up, he felt as if a heavy object was pressing on his head, causing his mental pain to gradually increase. When he climbed to the third platform with difficulty, he was already sweating and panting, and lay on the platform exhausted.
The space magic energy had long been dried up. Although there was still a little bit of lightning magic energy left, it was absolutely impossible to reach the fourth floor.
The element concentration of the third-level training platform is as high as eighty times. Such a rich elemental environment makes him feel as if he is in a sea of elements. He can absorb these elements to his heart's content to expand his thunder nebula field.
The third-level training platform can provide up to two hundred and forty times the amplification effect for the magic nebula.
One day of practice is equivalent to half a year’s achievement in the outside world!
"With an efficiency of two hundred and forty times, I might be able to break through to a higher level!" Xu Mu didn't want to waste the remaining six days at all. He immediately sat cross-legged on the platform and quickly entered a state of meditation.
Xu Mu's training speed has always been very fast, ten hours a day, five hours of which are allocated to the Thunder System. Combined with his natural talent for double speed and the 1.5 times bonus from the totem vessel, the result of one day's practice in the Thunder System is equivalent to three days of hard practice for others.
In order to achieve a breakthrough of the Thunder Nebula to the third level, or even a breakthrough to a higher level, Xu Mu decided to allocate the next ten hours to the Thunder Nebula and devote all his efforts to it.
All ten hours are allocated to the Thunder Element, and one day of practice is equivalent to six days of hard practice for others!
……
One day passed, and the Thunder Nebula successfully expanded to the third level.
But there is bad news.
"A 160-fold gain?" Xu Mu frowned in thought. He overlooked a very important thing, which is that the amplification effect of the three-step tower will gradually weaken over time.
In the early stages of practice, one can indeed experience rapid progress, but as time goes by, this rate of growth will gradually slow down, just like the body developing resistance to drugs.
On the second day after entering the third level of cultivation, although the Thunder Nebula had reached the third level, the original 200-fold gain had dropped to 160 times. It was estimated that by the third day, the gain would further drop to below 120 times.
However, this situation is normal. Unique cultivation resources like the Three-Step Tower often only have an initial effect. If you continue to practice here, the effect will be greatly reduced.
If the increase was 240 times every day, Dongfang Lie would have stayed in the main courtyard for a year, and practiced the Three-Step Tower once a month. When he fought with Mo Fan, he would not have failed to break through to the higher level.
"Go on, go on." Xu Mu shook his head, not bothering to care how many times the power increased. Cultivation was the most important thing.
……
Another two days passed. Today was the sixth day since Xu Mu entered the Three-Step Tower. The Thunder Nebula had reached a perfect level.
The blessing from the third level of cultivation has been reduced to eighty times, a level that would make even capitalists cry. Compared to the first day, it has been reduced by a full one hundred and sixty times.
But there is also good news. Xu Mu can try to break through to the higher level.
Although it may not succeed.
"Hehe, maybe I'll be the first student in the history of Mingzhu Academy to break through to the advanced level within one year of enrollment." Xu Mu smiled and when he breaks through to the advanced level, he will publicize it well. Next year, Mingzhu Academy will be able to attract a lot of outstanding younger students.
At that time, he can also go to see Dean Xiao to see if there is a chance to get some treasures as a reward.
