章 9: Chap 9: Million Steps Forest
My first enemy was a man with white clothes he didn't seem to have any face and he was 100 levels the same as me it was a pretty easy fight as the man was just a normal 100 level while I was the op me
I took another step but it was all in my mind I wasn't really moving in the real world I was staying at where I was
2 people were in the arena this time then 3, 4, 5 it kept increasing and at 15 people I started having some hard time beating them eventhough all my hits were a one-shot kill I was unable to land a lot of hits because I was being attacked from all directions after I was done I asked if I could fight the same level again out loud and I heard
"Would you like to redo the same level young man"
"" Yes please Uncle if its not too much of a problem to you""
"Its not kiddo don't worry I'll put this level on replay mode until you want to go forward just tell when you do"
I started fighting the 15 people again and again after 13 fights I was slaying the enemies they couldn't even get close to me so I started moving forward again after I reached the 20 people and beat them again and again the same voice that put the 15th level on replay told me
"Every level from now on will have 20 people fighting you the difference is the gravity will increase and the next levels gravity is 21x at the millionth step the increase would be a million times, it is easier to go forward with a higher level as your movement will be hindered less when you go forward but more than half of your ability will be hindered in tour current power do you want to move forward kid"
"" I'll try my chance worst case scenario I'll be thrown out""
I stepped forward and I was almost immediately thrown to the ground because I didn't expect this much pressure but My enemies weren't hindered by gravity since it only applied to me, I was actually slower than all of them but movement I learned with the drill skill is actually able to keep me alive even in a situation like this I was able to kill one of them and injure 5 more but 14 of them were still alive and well and I was getting more and more exhausted so I went berserk and tried to kill as many as I could before dying and I was able to clear 21st level somehow and I immediately went out after finishing the ground I realized there was a ranking system and I checked what rank I was
Rank 445
Well its not too bad considering there are thousands of people who are students
I checked the first ten to see who they were and I was shocked at what I saw
Rank 1 Philip Althidon 134777 steps
Rank 2 John Sanchez 133743 steps
Rank 3 Reed Morgan 133455 steps
First place is the king
Second and third places are the most powerful commanders of the country after those three the fourth person only had 77 k steps well they told us it was with the help of the king they created this but I don't think he would be unable to beat the forest if that was the truth but I don't have sufficient strength to look into it so I'm just going to act like I don't know anything
I went to the point exchange shop and I realized everything was so cheap except for a few pills and cultivation techniques were not sold but you were given a training ground with high tech so you could learn the technique faster.
I rented a training ground for the body cultivation technique called Pressure is Pleasure I wonder why it is named that way I started using the cultivation technique and learned its first level and I was using it and I didn't even get a stat point so I started the gravity increaser and moved it up to 25x and I slumped to the ground how the hell is there so much of a difference between 20x and 25x while I was thinking this I was also trying to learn the next level of the cultivation technique and also using it at the same time this went on for a day until my rental was over and the current gravity was at 100x and I had more than doubled my stats except int and reached level 4 in the cultivation technique the technique had a total of 9 levels and with every level your speed of gaining stat points would increase but as time passed and your body got powerful the technique would slow down and it would give you 1-2 points a day which was still an acceptable stat increase. i rented the place for as long as I could which was 27 more days and when the 27 days were over I had almost tripled my stats and the cultivation level reached its highest level and it was giving me 3 stat points a day one for each stat
I left the training room and went back to my room. Since I knew there was no requirement to enter any classes I increased the gravity to 200x and kept training pressure is pleasure to increase my stat points I realized that the techniques level was actually advancing I kept on doing what I was doing but increased the pressure to 300x which pinned me to the ground. My body was almost ready to give up but I kept on moving by force and cultivated at 300x gravity for 4 hours before passing out. I woke up in the middle of the night I thought it had been like a few hours since I was cultivating before sunset however I was wrong I learned that it has actually been 4 days. I have passed out for four days no wonder I was so hungry I went to one of the cafeterias but they were closed at the night so I thought lets wait for breakfast and cultivate while waiting before Cultivating I wanted to look at my stats

Wait wait wait what Pressure is Pleasure lvl 10 I thought lvl 9 was the limit I guess what I felt earlier was really the truth it was actually advancing. I went and asked shopkeeper if anyone had exceeded level 9 and if anyone did I would like to learn from them if possible but she looked at me like I was joking
"You know even the person who created technique was stuck at level 9 and there is knowledge only known until level 9 don't joke around like that otherwise people will get mad"
""Oh sorry I didn't know it was a sensitive thing to talk about""
After eating breakfast I left and went back to my room to cultivate to see what the current speed of stat gain would be like
IT IS TWICE AS FAST WTFFFFDFF
now I am gaining two stats on all three of my body stats and technique doesn't seem to have stopped its growing I wonder until what level I can cultivate this technique. I started cultivating my body under pressure for 15 hours a day and other things in 3 hours like eat, go to the toilet. Half a year went by my stats increased by a lot but the increase speed dropped day by day and I was getting a stat point in all stats a day now but it was still an awesome way to ear stat points since I disn't want to level up yet. They will hand out skills, and medicines proportional to your million steps forest rank and I also learned that there was another list for still active students or students that still didn't graduate and to my surprise I was 123rd But I would do so much better if I went in now so I decided to do so I saw that the number 1 on the current students list was Jack Althidon the seventh prince of the country he was at the 1454th step well to be honest it isn't that high I can probably get to 500th step even right now and I know that the prince is currently 440 levels so his stats are really which means he will not be affected much until really high gravity like 5k Maybe he doesn't have any skills in his skills and cultivation. I went to the forest and started my fight this time after I killed the first floor challenger I said
"" Hey old man are you still here, how have you been lately I haven't dropped by for a few months""
" Yes kiddo, I am still here I sense that you have become more powerful you seem to have learnt a body cultivation technique and cultivated it over the upper limit good for you, good for you, normally I don't give any presents to people who enter here but I kind of like your style so if you manage to get to 700th level I will give you a present"
"" thanks uncle I'll try to do so but I think I'll be stuck at around 550-600""
" well you can redo the level until you can get over it easily "
"" I guess you are right""
I started going through the levels an reached level 500 it was putting a strain on my body starting from mid 400's but now it was really getting to me, I still could move pretty fast but I was pretty clumsy with my movements so I stayed in the level 500 for a few weeks doing the same level again and again I got used to the pressure and I was able to fight like I was at 200x pressure I kept on going forward and realized the same thing happened near level 600 so when I reached level 600 I stopped and started killing the opponents again and again after a few months (a few minutes in real life) I was able to fight pretty easily and kept on going I reached level 650 then 660 and I moved forward until level 693 where I was able to still move but I was unable to beat the opponents the fight went on for 4 hours and I had killed 18 of the opponents only two were remaining and it was pretty easy to get rid of if I was at my peak but I have been fighting for 4 hours I was about to collapse I managed to get rid of the last two guys and my body was restored to the peak condition afterwards but I was mentally exhausted I waited for a while before redoing the level and after spending a few months in there I was able to get rid of all the opponents in about 1 hour then I started advancing again I managed to get to level 700 easily and beat the opponents and the old man started speaking again
"You really did it kid I didn't expect you to do so after you beat level 500 I would give you the present anyways but I guess since you arrived all the way to level 700 I have to give some extra now I was normally going to give you this set of 10 B grade skills since you can integrate them to your drill skill but I guess I'll also give you this Elder Blood Dragon's blood, don't show it outside or you would be killed for it the dragon in the road you heard about is just one of the younger ones most probably still a baby if it us under 200 years of age well whatever this blood will help you since you have that blood merger skill and since you also killed a vampire for your first evolution I suggest you either kill a vampire, bat, or any other monster that has blood related skills even a baby blood dragon if you can after you evolve this time you can kill any dragon type monster or subspecies to increase you dragon bloodline you will gain from your next evolution. Sorry young lad I talked for so long I'll let you carry on with the forest I have put the items to your storage ring I also increased the level of B grade techniques to 27 since that is exactly how much you need to increase your drill to A class"
""Thanks old man is there anything I can do for you since you have helped me out so much"
"My soul is binded to this place so you can't even try to save me otherwise I would die well I chose to do this its not like I was forced I like seeing people become more and more powerful"
I kept on moving forward after I talked with the old man and I was beaten to death at 734th floor
I checked my standings in the list and saw that I was 6th place good enough I guess before next year ends my goal is to be number 1 and also I want to increase my drill to S grade so I can evolve to transcendent before next year ends.
They handed out our rewards and I got a lot I got a two pills that could help me enhance my learning ability I learned some one had to be God-9 tier to make these and I also heard that we bought this from a constant supplier I wonder who is so powerful to get 25 of these pills we pay millions of gild coins and also a lot of demigod tier relics, after consuming the pills at the same time I felt an itchiness in my head and itchiness grew over time and it started also hurting but I endured it and stayed awake during the whole ordeal to see what was happening to my body nothing changed except for my brain which now had 3x faster data transportation speed but that wouldn't increase my learning speed by a lot so. There was mostly something that happened that I couldn't even understand. I tried practicing the 27 B grade skills the old man gave me and I immediately felt the learning speed difference I was at least a few times faster at learning the skills and also integrating them it felt like curtain in front of my eyes has been removed I finished integrating all the B grade skills in two hours and just like the old man said drill turned into an A grade skill after all the skills were integrated now I probably needed at least a few hundred B grade skills to level it up to S grade or at least 30 A grade skills D grade and C grade skill still could help a little so if I see any I can learn them too.
