Rumble!

With a loud bang, the huge tower door that slowly closed finally closed the last crack.

Du Mu looked around.

Right now they were on the first floor of the Tower of the Stars, a large circular hall.

As far as the eye can see, the hall is surrounded by blue-gray stone walls, and above it is a thick rock dome, which is clearly a sealed space from the surrounding situation.

Thousands of freshmen were scattered throughout the hall, uncrowded, looking around, curiously and cautiously.

During this time, most people's eyes were on the depths of the hall, where there was a huge fenced iron gate.

Behind the door, there is a wide upward staircase.

Quite a few people stared at it with twinkling eyes.

There is no doubt that the staircase is the way to the second level!

A few minutes later, with a creaking sound, the iron gate in front of the staircase slowly rose upward.

"It's time to start!"

The voice of Luo Shen's reminder came from his side, Du Mu bowed slightly, his body sank slightly, and he had already mustered up his whole body strength and was ready to resist.

As early as when he was on the train, he knew the test content of each layer of the Tower of the Top Star from Du Shuang's mouth, and thought of how to deal with it one by one.

"Climb that staircase to the second floor!"

A muffled voice echoed abruptly.

The moment the sound fell, the iron gate of the fence was finally fully opened, and at the same time, a huge pressure descended on the entire hall in an instant.

In just an instant, hundreds of freshmen's faces changed drastically, their knees bent suddenly, and they were almost about to kneel, but fortunately, they stabilized their bodies in time at the last moment and avoided being injured and defeated.

On the other side, Du Mu only felt that his body seemed to be pressed against a thousand catties of boulders in an instant, and it suddenly became extremely heavy.

"Five times the gravity......"

Feeling the heaviness on his body, his eyes flashed, and he muttered in a low voice.

This is the test content of the first layer of the Star Tower, which is secretly called the Gravity Hall by the students of the Star Luo Academy.

The freshmen had to defy five times the force of gravity to reach the stairs deep in the hall and climb up to reach the second floor.

In fact, Du Mu remembered that there was a similar gravity test in the martial apprentice assessment, which was to test the physical load of the candidates under five times the gravity to test their physique.

Five times the gravity was so heavy that he couldn't even move at will at that time, so he could only grit his teeth and hold on.

What's more, the current test is not only to be able to withstand five times the gravity, but also to climb the ladder against gravity, which is doubly difficult.

However, at that time, Du Mu's physique was only F+, but now it has been upgraded to E+, an increase of three small levels, and his strength is also incomparable.

He moved his hands and feet on the spot, and found that although his body was as heavy as lead, it was not immobile, but it was much slower.

Turning his head to look, Luo Shen beside him looked as usual, and when he saw Du Mu looking at him, there was still spare time to show a bright smile at him.

The two of them glanced at each other, and at the same time took a step, slowly but surely towards the staircase not far away.

At the same time, almost all the freshmen began to move, at some faster and slower pace.

Walking under five times the gravity is undoubtedly very physically exhausting, and the load on the body is extremely great, and many freshmen have visible redness on their faces when walking, their chests rise and fall violently, and they are gasping for breath.

From time to time, I saw someone who couldn't support it and fell to the ground with a muffled snort.

Fortunately, most of the freshmen who can be admitted to Xingluo Academy are not weak, and they are not afraid of breaking bones if they fall under five times gravity, but bruises are inevitable.

And once you fall to the ground, it is very difficult to get back up, which basically means that the challenge has failed.

In stark contrast to the students who failed to fall to the ground and moved slowly like snails, there was another group of freshmen who walked smoothly and leisurely, shrouded in five times gravity, like a courtyard stroll.

Among them, three men and one woman are particularly eye-catching.

A handsome young man with a slender figure and a hint of bookishness on his face, giving people a gentle feeling.

A tall and burly man who is not bloated, and the school uniform on his body is tense by the muscles, but instead presents an indifferent young man with streamlined beauty.

A young man whose face and temperament are more mediocre than the first two, but there is a proud look in his expression.

Finally, there is the only girl, whose appearance and figure are all extremely outstanding, with beautiful eyebrows and tall figures, with the unique youthful and lively atmosphere of girls of this age, it instantly attracted the attention of most boys.

The four of them were far ahead, walking ahead of the crowd, and in a short time they reached the stairs and began to climb upwards.

Seeing this, many of the backward freshmen looked nervous, and they gritted their teeth and quickened their pace.

Du Mu looked calm and still moved forward unhurriedly.

Locke smiled, maintaining a similar speed to him.

The two of them marched side by side, reached the stairs together, and began to climb.

The staircase is about 20 meters wide, enough to accommodate 20 people to climb at the same time, Du Mu looked up, and after a careful count, he found that there are a total of 50 steps on the stairs, and every 10 steps there is a buffer platform up to four or five meters wide, the role is self-evident.

Lifting his feet up the stairs, as soon as he climbed, Du Mu felt that the speed of physical strength began to increase, and the load of five times the gravity on his body became heavier and heavier in this situation.

With the passage of time, thousands of new students gradually diverged and formed several echelons.

The first echelon was undoubtedly the leading three men and one woman, who had already climbed to the fourth platform, and were only ten steps away from reaching the second level.

The second echelon was the crowd where Du Mu and Luo Shen were, although the speed was slow, but it was very steady, and they were chasing after the four people, ready to reach the third buffer platform.

The third echelon is the freshmen who are still struggling with the first ten steps, and each step they take takes takes a lot of time and physical energy, and the climbing speed is not much different from that of a snail.

The last echelon is the new students who have not yet climbed the stairs and are still staying in the hall.

Whether the freshmen of this echelon stand or fall to the ground, they are basically doomed.

Whew!

Zhou Qixi lay on the cold floor in embarrassment, his full chest rose and fell violently, panting and staring at the crowd on the stairs, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Abominable ......"

Her silver teeth clenched, and a mixture of frustration and unwillingness surged fiercely in her chest.

Although she had long known that her strength belonged to the bottom group in the Star Luo Academy, and the Top Star Tower Challenge was destined to have no outstanding performance, but the moment she really saw the unattainable gap between herself and the genius, she was still full of unwillingness in her heart.

"I just said that to that man yesterday..... As a result, I can't even get past the first floor now..... It's ridiculous!" Zhou Qixi's face was filled with a hint of loss, but the next moment it was occupied by a thick unwillingness.

I'm not reconciled!

I don't want to give up!

I want to catch up with them!

I want to catch up with that guy!

Under the pressure of gravity, Zhou Qixi tightly held the necklace on his chest, and shouted silently and frantically in his heart.

In a trance, a click like broken glass sounded sharply, and a warm current suddenly poured out of the necklace and submerged into Zhou Qixi's body along the palm.
