Chapter 590: Chapter 210: Soul Suppressing Ladder (Seeking Monthly Pass)
“Boom!”
As Lin Su set foot on the first step of the Soul Suppressing Ladder, a surge of immense power rapidly enveloped him from above.
The sensation was somewhat like increased gravity, but not exactly the same.
It was as if a powerful force suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, attempting to make him bend his waist.
But…
Is this all?
...
Lin Su scratched his head.
The pressure from just the first step was clearly not enough to affect him greatly.
As he easily stood firm on the step, a light swiftly flew toward the spot between his eyebrows.
Having seen others climb the ladder, Lin Su knew this was the reward for stabilizing himself on the first step.
So he didn’t dodge but allowed the light to hit him between the eyebrows before it slowly vanished.
At the same time, just as if he had received a message from a Transmitting Jade Scroll, a new martial technique appeared in Lin Su’s mind.
A fourth-grade martial skill, “Barbaric Bear Strength.”
Lin Su briefly reviewed it and nodded slightly.
A middle third-grade skill from the first step should be considered quite lucky.
This technique was something he hadn’t had before, so it was worth keeping.
It had some use, but not much.
“Squeak! (｡✪‿✪｡)” (I’ll accompany you up!)
Ghost blinked and quickly followed Lin Su up the step, but soon a puzzled expression appeared on its face.
“Squeak? (☉Д☉)” (There’s no suppressing force?)
Huh?
Lin Su looked at Ghost, who was standing on the first step beside him, and fell into thought.
Does it mean that when a pet steps on the stair, there’s no suppressive force?
Although he didn’t understand why this was happening, it was good news for him.
It meant that Ghost could accompany him as he climbed the Beast Tamer Tower.
If he got stuck halfway and couldn’t continue, he could coordinate with Ghost and try again.
“Then let’s go up together!” Lin Su said with a slight smile, then stepped toward the second step.
Since the previous steps posed no pressure, he naturally picked up the pace.
Ghost quickly kept up.
A slightly increased pressure enveloped him, but the incremental increase was completely negligible for Lin Su.
There was no significant change in his expression.
The technique he obtained this time wasn’t even as good as the previous one.
Receive a technique, step onto the next step.
Receive another technique, step onto another step.
Repeat the cycle.
By the ninth step, out of the nine techniques he obtained, two were middle third-grade, and seven were lower third-grade.
Since he hadn’t shared with others, he wasn’t sure whether his gains were considered good or bad luck.
But these techniques were of little use to him.
He would just have to take them back to Blue Star.
Next, it was time to see if he could hit the jackpot on the tenth level.
Thinking this, Lin Su took a deep breath and stepped onto the tenth step.
An immense pressure, much greater than on the ninth step, suddenly arrived.
The previous martial artist in the Nayuan Realm triple layer had been bent at the waist when he set foot on the tenth step.
However, for Lin Su, it was nothing but an appetizer.
Amidst the somewhat surprised expressions of the people behind him, Lin Su’s back was still perfectly straight, as if there was no pressure on him at all.
Soon, a ray of light flew towards his brow.
As the light dissipated, a glint flickered in Lin Su’s eyes.
This time, it was a sixth-grade martial skill.
That was the best reward so far.
Not bad, but it could be better.
He looked up at the countless steps above him.
Next, every nine steps there was a chance for a grade increase, and climbing a few more would surely yield an upper third-grade martial skill.
“Ghost, let’s move a little faster.”
“Squeak! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (No problem!)
Ghost fluttered its paws, continuing to accompany Lin Su as they moved upward.
On the nineteenth step, a fifth-grade martial skill.
On the twenty-eighth step, a sixth-grade martial skill.
On the thirty-seventh step, a seventh-grade martial skill.
…
On the ninety-first step, a seventh-grade martial skill.
In just a short while, Lin Su had reached nearly a hundred steps.

Below, the expressions of the crowd had gone from initial surprise to outright shock.
“Brother Liu, is this guy really as formidable as the rumors say?” A woman couldn’t help but push the person beside her, whispering her question.
The one she referred to as Brother Liu was one of the Nayuan Realm sextuple layer experts who had just attempted the climb.
With his strength, he had barely reached the ninety-first step before the overwhelming pressure became too much to bear, and after receiving the reward for that step, he had chosen to leave without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, the guy named Lin Su had already matched this record and showed no sign of stopping.
Moreover, he didn’t show the slightest sign of strain.
This guy, he’s still at ease at the ninety-first step!
“Indeed, no great name under the heavens is unfounded,” the man said solemnly. “It seems this fellow’s power is even more terrifying than the rumors. Previously, I didn’t believe the tales that he faced dozens of geniuses alone and struck down all of them with a single blow, but now it seems I, Liu Tu, have underestimated this freak of the battlefield.”
“Speaking of which, I heard this morning that Lin Su was offering to sell his method of merging with his pet in Moonbow City. I’m not sure about the specifics, but now that he’s here, did he actually sell it?” The woman looked curiously at Lin Su’s retreating figure as he continued upward. “If he did sell it, does that mean other Beast Tamers might also merge with their pets?”
