Chapter 1736: Why Is He Slowing Down?

The Elder who caught the drop of water looked at it, and a hint of greed flashed through her eyes. This was something that any Water Elementalist that could acquire would see a tremendous boost in their strength. For someone like her who can rarely see an increase in strength, she didn't like missing any opportunity to increase her strength.
Just as she was about to touch the drop of water, it dissolved, and she couldn't help but let out a disgruntled snort; shooting Klaus a glance, she walked back to her position.
The reason she stopped the drop of water wasn't for any other reason than if it sank into the ground too much, there was a chance it might disrupt the world they were in. It wasn't near as large as the Aurora Continent, so they didn't dare to let any tremendous force get close to its
core.
Klaus also understood this, making an embarrassed smile flash across his face as he quickly apologized to the Elders of the Crescent Moon Faction. He soon turned his attention to the dumbstruck young man, "Is that enough to interest you?"
The young man unconsciously nodded, but then paused and asked, "And if you end up having a better result?"
He was eager to learn this technique, but he wasn't a fool to just jump into agreeing with the bet. Anyone who could offer something like what Klaus just did is most likely very confident in their abilities or was a complete fool. Seeing Klaus, he didn't think of him as the latter, but rather the former. Klaus was arrogant, there was no way he would want to make a bet he wouldn't win.
The First floor lit up immediately after Klaus placed his arm on the ice wall, the same for the Second, and then Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth, and to the shock of everyone, Klaus' speed slowed down when he was on the Seventh floor.
"This isn't possible... right?"
Even the young man felt his eyes twitch when he noticed that Klaus, indeed, slowed down on the Seventh floor. Even he who made a bet with Klaus believed that at least, Klaus would get to the Tenth floor, even maybe reaching the Eleventh floor. But now, on only the Seventh floor, Klaus seemed to be having difficulties.
"Why is he slowing down?"
"Do you think he's at his limit?"
"Don't forget that there are people who don't hastily resolve the cold. As long as he doesn't allow the cold to penetrate into his bones, he should be fine."
When they all heard this, most of the people calmed down. Of course, there were a few who believed that Klaus was already close to his limit.
Klaus, on the other hand, was ecstatic; the reason he slowed down was because he realized that the cold from this wall was tempering his essence repeatedly, and the longer he left it on his body, the better the result. He has even started to faintly feel like he might break through to the Sixth stage of the Sovereign Plane soon. Normally he isn't far behind Grey in terms of cultivation stage. With Grey already in the Sixth stage, it isn't surprising that Klaus, too, would be breaking through soon.
