Leo saw that it was not just the stairs that appeared there was also a pool, it was covered by a cold yet warm mist.
Leo jumped straight to the pool, the water that it had was crystal clear. Leo's body was filled with bruises and some parts were even bleeding. So Leo thought that the pool would be dyed red.
The pool was quite fascinating though, it did not get dyed red with blood and his body got healed. He felt that he had also recovered the blood that he had spitted out earlier.
Leo was surprised but then he thought "What was the use of this pool if it hadn't been to heal the challenger".
He then noticed that not just his body but also the world energy that he had depleted was also replenished.
Leo also noticed something weird with his replenished world energy, the world energy in his body became denser but unlike his breakthrough earlier it was just being collected.
Leo's world energy became more powerful, Leo then thought "My goal of stabilizing my cultivation has been accomplished".
Leo thought it was just simple stabilization but it was actually a lot better than that, his world energy has become stronger than a normal person that has just dragon leaped.
When Leo got completely healed he went out of the pool, he wasn't able to take off his clothes before going in but it was fine the clothes were filled with holes anyway.
Another problem arose in Leo's mind "Now what do I wear?".
"I guess that's not a problem, I am alone here anyway".
Leo just went straight up but he had forgotten about the sudden increase in gravity, this only happened because he relaxed after defeated the boss.
Leo almost fell to the ground, he felt that the gravity pull was 5 times stronger but although he felt this he was able to regain his balance.
He stepped on the next stair and he was greeted with another 2x increase in gravity, when he reached the next floor he was surprised as the gravity pull was still 2x stronger.
Leo checked his surroundings and noticed that there was only one robot, it was green just like the one earlier.
He mumbled "I guess I should also try out the other skills".
Leo crossed his arms and then he stretched it out. The skill Leo used was called Demon's Wrath. Half of Leo's body now had scales.
Leo now had scales near his cheeks and a pair of black horns appeared on Leo's head, he now had a tail as well.
Leo used Quick Steps and was already in front of the robot.
Boom! Leo punched the robot swiftly and powerfully. Leo used his whole body's force in one punch, the robot was blown to smithereens and he noticed that he was faster than before.
Leo was 5x stronger when he was in his demon form and with this strength he could punch through steel, much less a wooden robot.
The floor glowed like earlier and the stairs appeared once again, this process continued to cycle as he punched his way through.
The 20th floor had a blue robot, the 21st floor had the green robot and the blue robots at the same time, the boss on floor 30 was a brown one. The cycle stopped when he reached the 40th floor, Leo had met a tough opponent.
Leo finally met a fire attributed robot but this didn't make him happy, it only made him look grim as he wasn't at his full power.
This robot was unlike the others as it was made of steel, aside from that though there was barely any difference.
The moment Leo took a step on the 40th floor the sound of an explosion reverberated in the room and the robot was already right in front of Leo.
The next instant the robot punched Leo, the punching force was more powerful than the others and the only reason for that was really obvious. It was the strongest main element.
The robot's fists were covered in flame and it exploded whenever the robot punched, drastically increasing it's punching strength.
Every punch that hit Leo had the force of a cannon ball, he always lost his balance whenever he got hit and he thought "The fire attribute really deserves it's reputation as the most powerful of the four major attributes".
Ten seconds and the cycle of being punched stopped, Leo was able to use fire manipulation.
He stole the robot's fire, he then proceeded to cover his fists and he made the fire combust like an explosion. His fists were like cannons, he kept punching the robot and slowly destroying it piece by piece.
A minute passed and only it's head remained, Leo was about to deal the final blow when the robot suddenly made a body of flames. The robot moved swiftly and it punched Leo's left fist.
The robot's punch was stronger than earlier, Leo was punched into the air and the robot didn't even have to directly hit him so it didn't follow Leo into the air. The robot punched the air.
Boom! the sound of an explosion echoed in the room and the robot was in the center of it.
The force of the explosion blew Leo away, he crashed to a wall and he made a hole with the shape of his body.
Leo got out of the hole, he was covered in heavy wounds. The scales of his half demon form were cracked, there was blood dripping from his mouth and his left arm was broken. Leo couldn't move his left arm and he could barely stand, but Leo still took a battle stance.
Leo was not willing to give up, he was only hit by the robot through the use of the element of surprise so how could he give up.
Leo was then punched again and it was faster than before, it was like Leo was struck by lightning. Leo was knocked back by the force of the punch and tumbled to the floor.
Leo stood up and like he had no ideas he stood there doing nothing. Leo waited for the robot to attack, the robot instantly moved in front of Leo but when it was about to hit Leo again Leo stole the flames that conjured the robot's body.
The robot lost it's body and was just a head once again, Leo wasted no time as he swiftly crushed the head with his fists.
Leo was surprised to see that instead of the stairs that lead upwards, an elevator appeared and the pool was still there. Then the pleasant voice could be heard again.
"It seems that you have completed the 40th floor with the cultivation realm Dragon Leap, you have been rewarded with two things. The first one is according to your current martial skills, you will be given one item per skill. The second reward is the token of trials, this will allow you to go back here once again when you reach the cultivation realm World Energy Fusion of the 9th level. Please proceed to the Rewards Hall after healing".
The voice couldn't be heard anymore so Leo went to the pool to recover.
------------------------------------------
Lily's parents were searching through the records of people that could be chosen as the successor, there was many people but most of them were getting crossed out.
Among the documents one of them had Leo's picture, Lily noticed this document and she thought that he met him somewhere before so she read it.
Every sentence used in the document were weird and this got Lily confused, her parents noticed that Lily was reading the document.
Lily's mother spoke "Lily could you give that document to us?".
Lily followed her mother's orders and she handed the documents to her.
Her mother said "There's no way it could be Leonardo Redfrost, his family was never thought martial arts", she then proceeded to cross out the document.
The time right now was 2:47 am so they stopped for the time being, they went back to their rooms like nothing happened.
Lily was wondering why her parents acted like that earlier when they saw Leo's documents, Lily herself thought that Leo was rather handsome.
Lily laid down on her bed, she hugged her pillow and after a few moments she fell asleep.
~~~~~~~
In front of a rather tall building, two people were standing in front and they were both staring at each other.
One was a male who had ruby red eyes, icy blue hair and a rather tall stature.
He was a looker and in front of him was a woman, she was beautiful yet pretty at the same time.
She had rosy red hair, azure blue eyes and she was only smaller than the male by two inches.
"Lily, would you like to go on a date with me?" said the male.
Lily the girl answered his question "Leonardo, yes I would like to. When do we go, I have time today if you want to".
The two went to an amusement park, it was like Leonardo knew that she was quite stressed and this made her happy.
When it was 6:00 they both went their way to Lily's home, it was rather extravagant and it was something commoners could only dream of living in.
The male uttered "It seems I should go now", he was about to turn when the woman grabbed his sleeve.
The next moment he felt something sweet and soft on his lips, he glanced at the person that kissed him and then he closed his eyes.
The girl closed her eyes as well and they kissed for a rather long time.
Lily's vision blurred and then everything turned dark, like her dark room that she was currently sleeping in.
~~~~~~~
Lily woke up and then she checked her surroundings, after a few moments passed she turned beet red.
She mumbled to herself "Why would I dream of that random man kissing me?" and she slept again.
------------------------------------------
Leo's world energy right now was already one that was powerful enough to be compared with a person that has reached World Energy Fusion of the first level, Leo could breakthrough but did not.
Reaching World Energy Fusion in one day could lead to backlashes, like having a weaker body than most cultivators.
Leo went to the elevator and was directly sent to the first floor, Leo immediately moved outside the building straight to what is called the Rewards Hall.
It is currently the largest building but although it looks smaller than the others, the reason was that this building was actually going down instead of upwards.
The building only seems to have two floors but once a person goes in they will notice an elevator, the elevator will keep going down till floor 969.
Leo found it weird, why stop at floor 969 when you could make it have 1000 floors.
Leo noticed that there was some sort of platform on the center of the building, it was as wide as a bedroom.
Leo stepped on the platform and was surprised to see a transparent demon, the demon seems to be a male.
The male demon looked like the old demon that he met earlier, the old demon noticed his gaze and said "It seems you have mistaken me as the clan head, the clan head has already passed away. I am just a part of his soul, now then shall we proceed to get your rewards".
