Chapter 597: Chapter 303: Rational and Justifiable Analysis! (5000, 2/2)_1 The environment of the fifth layer was much more refreshing than that of the previous four. Endless stairs surrounded them, each section nearly a hundred steps long, leading to a platform. Around this platform were more stair sections leading upward. The goal was to complete these branched staircases and arrive at the next layer. An event would be triggered every three stair sections traversed. If the three stair sections taken led directly to the stairs of the upper layer, no event would be triggered. This layer imposed considerable restrictions on movement: one could only walk; jumping, flying, or teleporting were forbidden. If a battle took place here, the enemy’s Dodge ability would inevitably be greatly affected, making it another excellent layer for killing, just like the third layer. With the Moluo’s Brain’s analysis, Chen Mo and Zhui Yi easily identified the correct staircase and ascended it without hesitation. About ten minutes after they had started, a large group of people suddenly appeared on the fifth layer. Since Chen Mo had chosen to share his coordinates to gain tenfold benefits, all the top fourth-transition professionals who had reached the fifth layer now knew Chen Mo’s location. Seeing him already thousands of meters high on the stairs, everyone immediately prepared to pursue him. "It’s a pity that perception ability is limited in this layer, and we can’t directly sense the people at that coordinate." "We’ll run into him sooner or later. I’m curious, did he share his location so boldly because he believes we can’t catch up to him, or because he’s genuinely fearless!" "Based on the rules of this layer, catching up to him should be quite easy, as we have many people to test different routes while he’s alone." "Yes, but the speed at which he cleared the second, third, and fourth layers makes me feel as if he has a heavenly eye, knowing exactly how to find the correct route. If that’s the case, and he always takes the right path, it will be really difficult to catch him." "Look at the points leaderboard! His points are changing, which means he didn’t always take the correct route. He must have triggered some reward events by taking wrong turns; otherwise, his points wouldn’t have increased out of nowhere." Seeing Chen Mo’s points changing stirred the group. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺 If he really did possess a heavenly eye and rushed straight to the upper layers regardless of anything else, they would indeed stand no chance of catching up. But if that wasn’t the case, he could be held up by various events, giving them a chance to catch him. Immediately, the group quickly devised plans to ascend the layers, hoping to find the correct route to the upper level at the fastest speed. Given their large numbers, they had far more opportunities for trial and error than Chen Mo, making it relatively simple for them to find the correct route. Soon, they had closed some of the distance. Although Chen Mo heard the Heavenly Dao broadcast that people were gradually entering the fifth layer, he wasn’t worried. Only if someone caught up to his position would he then rapidly ascend to the next set of stairs to claim first place. Otherwise, he was determined to first collect all the points rewards available on this layer. With Zhui Yi’s cooperation, they gathered rewards quite rapidly. After about ten minutes of pursuit, these people finally got somewhat closer to Chen Mo, but a considerable distance still separated them. "Damn it, how can he be so fast!? This guy is collecting rewards and ascending at the same time, yet his speed seems unaffected. It’s too absurd!" "No wonder he, a second-transition, dared to enter the fourth-transition competition zone. His abilities are truly astounding!" People couldn’t help but praise Chen Mo. Although such a monstrous talent had to be eliminated, his capabilities still commanded admiration. After another five minutes, just as they saw Chen Mo’s coordinates getting closer and felt they were about to catch up, there were suddenly no reward events on the next dozen or so flights of stairs. Chen Mo didn’t hesitate, swiftly traversing all the remaining stairs and proceeding to the next layer. [The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations to contestant No. 6659 from the Solar System for being the first to enter the sixth layer of the Demon Tower. Since he was also the first professional to enter the fifth layer of the Demon Tower, he will be granted a reward of 150,000 points. Other contestants, please also hurry to achieve good rankings. Continuously achieving high rankings will add a bonus multiplier to subsequent ranking rewards. Currently, if contestant No. 6659 from the Solar System is among the first three to enter the seventh layer, he will receive an additional reward multiplier, doubling the corresponding reward. The contestant who is first to enter the seventh layer will receive a reward of 60,000 points, the second to enter will receive 50,000 points, and the third will receive 40,000 points.] Seeing Chen Mo enter the sixth layer, these top fourth-transition participants, instead of being disappointed, actually felt a trace of relief. This was mainly because Chen Mo had previously seemed too mysterious and invincible. He could kill from a thousand-miles away, ignoring rules, and when he did, he was invisible and traceless, leaving no sign. These two points alone were enough to intimidate many. However, after two people had died previously and no further casualties occurred, the crowd deduced another piece of information. That is, his thousand-mile killing method likely couldn’t be used when everyone was tightly grouped in an army array. Otherwise, why would someone with such unfathomably profound abilities not have killed anyone on the subsequent layers? Wasn’t that exceedingly strange?
