As Han Sen walked forward, he thought about what had just transpired and was sure Qiu Ping was not a murderer . If he had what it took to take another man's life, Zhang Yuchen would have been killed in the first strike .
Qiu Ping's ten attacks were incredibly fast . They were so fast, Zhang Yuchen and Cheng Hu weren't even able to see the strikes coming . That being said, Han Sen knew Qiu Ping was not going to put his strength into the attack and actually try to kill him . Because of this foresight, Han Sen knew he did not even have to bother dodging .
"It has been twenty years, so if Qiu Ping really wanted to kill Zhang Yuchen, would he really need permission?" Han Sen wondered .
Han Sen now stood at the entrance of the third floor . There weren't many creatures conducting the test there .
"What are you doing here?" a spirit guard asked, seeing Han Sen approach .
"I'm going up . " Han Sen smiled and pointed up .
The spirit summoned an instrument . He strummed its strings and a noise sounded . It was louder than thunder, and when the noise broke, it was like it whipped Han Sen's heart .
"Listen to my song . You are free to ascend if you can withstand its might and remain standing . "
The spirit's fingers rolled across the instrument as more thunderous sounds broke and snapped the atmosphere of the arena . Each note was again like the cracking of a whip against Han Sen's eardrums and heart .

Han Sen stood where he was, simply watching the spirit play . He had witnessed Xiang Yin's musical powers first-hand . The strength of a royal spirit's music, by comparison, was weak and unremarkable .
Cheng Hu had now come to understand Han Sen was a very powerful person, but still, he worried for him .
Cheng Hu was standing far away from the source of that music, but he already felt his heart begin to tear asunder . It was incredible how Han Sen looked completely unfazed, despite standing right in front of the instrument .
As the tune went on, the music grew louder in volume . Han Sen didn't move an inch, as if he had gone completely deaf . When the song ended, Han Sen walked to the third floor without looking back .
"Maybe he didn't spawn in this shelter?" Cheng Hu thought to himself . He wondered if Han Sen had what it took to reach the top floor .
After all, that was where the emperor lived . And, if everything he had heard was true, many super creatures and king spirits lived up there with him . Reaching there would be an incredible achievement .
Before reaching the Third God's Sanctuary, Cheng Hu had never heard of something as scary as a super creature existing . Having learned about them, and to now think about a number of them collected in one place, he felt drained of hope for Han Sen's probability of succeeding .
It was difficult enough for humans to hunt sacred-blood creatures . He had never imagined there was something worse and even more frightful lurking in the sanctuaries .
Humans who spawned in king spirit shelters never had a hope of returning home to the Alliance .

Han Sen was currently on the third floor, and there weren't many rules there . Reaching this point was a proof of strength, and it meant you were not some witless yahoo . Here, you could even dictate and choose for yourself the times you wanted to work .
Han Sen didn't hang around, though . He marched straight to the entrance to the fourth floor, wanting to reach the top so he could speak with the woman who had caused so much commotion .
He needed to get there so Dragon King could detect where the new Sky Tree was, as well .
A royal spirit was, again, positioned at the entrance . Han Sen approached and told him, "I'm going up . "
The royal spirit wasted no time in pulling out a sheet of parchment . Then, he proceeded to draw a monster on it .
The next second, that same monster leaped out of the piece of paper and immediately tried to attack Han Sen .
Qiu Ping was a good distance away, out of sight, but he watched Han Sen intently with much intrigue .
"Can humans really reach the fifth floor?" Qiu Ping wanted Han Sen to succeed, but he lacked hope .
He used to be proud of his triumph in maxing out his sacred-geno points, but when he arrived in the Third God's Sanctuary, he realized his power was actually minuscule .

King spirits and super creatures could destroy humans with the greatest and swiftest of ease . There was a large gulf of power separating them and humanity .
He had maxed out ordinary, primitive, mutant, and sacred-blood geno points in the Third God's Sanctuary, and he had also managed to open eight gene locks . Compared to every other human, he was incredibly powerful . But compared to king spirits, he was still very weak and of no challenge .
Qiu Ping could tell Han Sen was special, and that he could accomplish more than most could . He didn't think Han Sen had enough to reach the fifth floor .
The last human to spawn in the shelter was four years ago . If Han Sen had been that person, it was difficult to imagine any person could obtain the power necessary to reach the fifth floor in a measly four years .
Han Sen's body blazed with the color red . He opened eight of his Blood-Pulse Sutra's gene locks . In a single hit, he split the monster's head open .
The royal spirit looked genuinely surprised, but he continued to draw more and more creatures . Each one came to life and tried to attack Han Sen . There were monsters of all sorts leaping out of the paper . There were beasts big and small, humanoid creatures, and insects of various families .
They were all summoned with an aggressive, insatiable bloodlust . They all went straight for Han Sen as soon as they came to be .
Han Sen only needed to take a deep breath and start swinging his fists to eliminate each threat .
Leaves and hazy dust swept through the field of their battle .
The monsters were unable to touch Han Sen once, as he ducked and weaved his way through the hordes . He killed everything with ease, as the monsters gushed blood that was black like the ink that had drawn them to life .
"That is incredible . But still, it's probably not enough to reach the top . " Qiu Ping continued to watch Han Sen's progress .
Pang!
After Han Sen eliminated every ink-born monster, he planned to punch the royal spirit .
The royal spirit looked frightened at Han Sen's sudden approach, so he hastily drew the image of a turtle for protection .
Boom!
Han Sen punched through the turtle and hit the royal spirit, sending him flying backwards .
Everyone looked their way now, as Han Sen went on his way to the fourth floor .
Han Sen knew Sky King wanted to grow a new Sky Tree . He needed strong people in his employ, so he'd value Han Sen highly if he was actually there to perform services for him . This would provide Han Sen with the opportunity to get close .
So far, Han Sen and Dragon King's plan was going well .
