Tom saw all the points he got and was ecstatic. If he keep getting pushed by the pressure, his World Refined Physique will increase in level. It was getting harder and harder to get points these days.
"A Spiritbound Tower… how does she has something like that?"
"A Spiritbound Tower is known to be extremely rare. So rare that only Adamantite Ranks could dream of obtaining them."
"Claudia is just a high Diamond Rank. How did she obtain it?"
The teacher discussed this with each other in a secret room as they spied on her garden. It wasn\'t easy to spy on her. The ten of them had to gather their secret treasures and combine their power just to take a glimpse of the event around her dwelling.
And if they get any closer, they will be attacked. They had done this for years, and were quite experienced in stalking her.
Though they had find nothing of significant yet.
But now they knew that Claudia had a Spiritbound Tower with her. This was an extremely critical information. The tower was a powerful treasure with all kinds of utilities. If a group wanted to attack her, and they did not know that she had a Spiritbound Tower, they will surely fail.
"Let\'s see what she is planning to do with it."
A teacher scoffed. "Reminds me of my student days when I really want to become a teacher in this university. But ever since I become one, I don\'t feel as happy as expected."
"Are you going to quit?"
"Not really. I don\'t feel as happy, but I am living my dream."
The other teacher laughed. Becoming a teacher of Withokere University was no easy matter. It was a prestigious establishment in the whole kingdom, and the only place where they could smell the presence of Adamantite Ranks. Not to mention the place had the best resources in terms of knowledge, secret treasures, crystals, and everything else a magician need to advance.
Even nobles might fail to become a teacher in this place.
"Wait, look. That kid is crawling towards the tower."
"What is he thinking? Only a teacher candidate can approach the tower, and you need to be at high Diamond Rank to even consider approaching it."
All of them knew about the test. The university use Spiritbound Tower to select new teacher every year. It was one of the most effective tools to filter out the losers from the best. The school wouldn\'t just accept anyone as their teacher. And nobody could rely on their connections or influence to become a teacher in this place. Pure skills, pure will power, that was what it take to be a teacher in this place.
Tom continued to crawl inch by inch towards the tower with a smile on his face. The notification kept popping in, telling him that his physique was getting stronger and stronger by the minute.

The closer he got to the tower, the harder the pressure, but also, the more points he received. If this kept happening for a good few hours, his physique would be so powerful.
"HAHAHA!" Tom laughed maniacally as he crawled his way forward.
Elfie was made speechless when he saw Tom laughed. She stayed in her original spot, and could not move an inch, so she knew the pressure was still there, but she couldn\'t figure out why Tom laugh in this situation.
Even the teachers that spied on him were confused.
"Why is that kid laughing? The pain from Spiritbound Tower not only hurt your body like you are about to be crushed by a mountain, but it felt like your soul will be pulled out as well."
"He\'s just a foolish kid. He will regret for even trying to approach the tower. Let\'s see his tears the moment he cannot move a muscle and receive constant crushing pressure."

Tom laughed again and began to stand up which shocked everyone.
"Did he just stand?"
"He\'s standing! He\'s standing! How did he stand in this situation?"
Tom gritted his teeth with a wide smile as he took a step forward. His upper body almost lurch forward, but he manage to find balance his balance.

The points he received reduce when his skill level up. That meant he had to advance further to get more points.
Tom walked step by step. Each step took him a minute to make. This went on for a few hours, and the tower was still far away.
The more he walked, the harder it get.
Suddenly, both of his knees bent, threatening to fall.
But a notification appeared.
[World Refined Physique Lv.7 -> Lv.8]
Tom straightened his leg and continued walking.
The high Diamond Rank teachers were shocked to see this.
"Even I have to crawl my way from start to finish…"
Most of the teachers barely able to pass the test. But this kid was only at mid Diamond Rank. This shouldn\'t be possible at all.
"He\'s 670 meter away from the tower!"
"So quick!"
"Wait, he stopped."
They saw Tom stopped and could not move any further.
"Ha! I told you he will fail."
Then they saw him sitting down cross legged and closing his eyes.
That made the teachers confused.
"Is he meditating? Why is he meditating in this situation?"
"Nobody can focus their mind in a situation like that."
Elfie looked at Tom from the distance, wondering what miracle would he pull this time.
Hours passed, Tom opened his eyes. Then, abruptly, he stood up and dashed.
Everyone that saw this widened their eyes, mouth wide agape.
Anyone that went through this test barely able to crawl forward inch by inch, but this kid manage to run through it???
"The pressure must have been decreased. Otherwise, there is no chance for him to dash towards the tower."
Tom laughed to the sky as his feet sprinted forward like never before.
"Wohoo!!!"
[World Refined Physique Lv.10]
Tom smiled when he saw this. His physique now was extremely powerful. He was confident he could now defeat that top 15th student with his physique alone.
The tower was very close to him. 10 meters. 5 meters.
And then suddenly, the pressure increased to the extreme. His body trembled and stuck in place.
Everyone watched with bated breath.
"This is the hardest part of the test. The last 10 steps of hell. So many high Diamond Ranks died trying to pass this test."
The teachers all frowned as they recalled the terrible memories of their friends and colleague being crushed into a pulp. The test was truly cruel. High Diamond Ranks were extremely rare and valuable, and yet they were not spared at all.
This test was only for the brave, not the weak-willed. It was do or die type of thing. So if they were not prepared to die, then they will be advised not to join the test.
Tom was only ten steps away. When he took another step, the pressure increased threefold.
"Fuck!"

His whole body felt like it was being crushed by the entire weight of the ocean. His knees trembled, and it took all of his power to keep them from falling
His internal organs felt like dying as well. His veins bulged and every cell in his body worked really hard to keep him standing.
Blood trickled out of his nose, but he gritted his teeth and took another step.
The pressure increased yet again.
He looked at the notification, praying for his skill to level up sooner or the pressure would crush him before that.

"Yes!" Tom took another step, and then another, then the pressure pushed him again.
But he did not give up.
It took him hours, but he finally get to reach the last step.
"Is he really going to do it?" one of the teacher asked with disbelief in his eyes.
"He is right in front of the entrance of the tower. Just one more step and he will succeed."
"Is this real? Is this really possible for a mid Diamond Rank?"
"No. Don\'t entertain that thought. So many high Diamond Rank died in this test. Don\'t even mention something lower than that."
Tom trying to lift his leg, but couldn\'t. And then he roared and burned half of his blood essence, giving him momentary power to take the last step.
"YES!!!"
