Chapter 361: 358: Bravely Entering the Trial Tower_1
To be honest, he had no idea about the fifth floor of the Trial Tower, let alone whether he could pass it or not.
But he had no choice. If he didn’t accept the challenge and establish his prestige today, even if he could participate in the Trial Tower in the future, he would just be seen as a soft persimmon to be picked on by others.
When that time came, he’d be subjected to ridicule and mockery, and have to tolerate it everywhere. That was not his way of handling things.
So, whether he had confidence or not, he had to try.
A true man should do so. If you have to be confident before doing anything, then where is the passion? Some things must be done even without certainty!
Moreover, from his current perspective, Yang Chen could see that the fifth floor was not an impossible task for him to complete.
Since that was the case, why couldn’t he attempt it?
With this thought, Yang Chen took a step forward and entered the Trial Tower directly.
When he arrived inside the Trial Tower, Yang Chen felt the surrounding space change instantly, becoming completely different from the outside world. Knowing this drastic change came from formations and prohibitions, he continued on.
At this moment, he looked forward and leisurely walked two steps.
It was an endless desert, formed by formations and prohibitions.
Now, when Yang Chen stepped into the desert, the sand suddenly formed an armored sand soldier wielding a long spear.
This sand soldier was covered in runes and secret arts, clearly formed by sophisticated prohibitions as a temporary creature.
However, it was this temporary creature that made Yang Chen dare not underestimate it. He clenched his hand and borrowed the power of the Heavenly Thunder Origin, suddenly bombarding it towards the sand soldier.
Attack as they exchange words, take the initiative, and never hesitate!
Seeing Yang Chen act, the sand soldier burst with an astonishing aura, revealing the power of the sixth level of the Spirit Martial Realm.
Immediately following, the sand soldier swept his long spear with great power, blocking Yang Chen’s thunder and lightning.
This surprised Yang Chen greatly.
“Nice going,” Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, “The same Martial Arts Cultivation level as me – just a coincidence?”
Yang Chen was puzzled, but one thing he could be sure of was that this sand soldier was no simple opponent.
His previous move was just a simple probe, but it revealed a lot about the sand soldier.
Now, Yang Chen muttered to himself, “Although this sand soldier is also at the sixth level of the Spirit Martial Realm, it doesn’t feel like an ordinary one. Breaking my Thunder Rush in one move is not something a regular Spirit Martial Realm Sixth Level could do. Even top-level fighters like Yuan Shaoyang at the sixth level would have a hard time dealing with it.”
Yang Chen was puzzled.
But despite his confusion, when he saw the formidable power of the sand soldier, he immediately took out the Forbidden Purple Dragon Spear without hesitation.
With a sneer, he displayed the Thunderbolt Style, engaging in combat with the sand soldier.
After more than a dozen rounds, the sand soldier still had the upper hand.
It wasn’t until twenty or so rounds that Yang Chen took advantage of the sand soldier’s mindlessness, stabbing it from behind and winning the first floor.
He didn’t use any powerful techniques, as it was just the first floor. Wasting time was better than wasting his internal True Qi.
Once the sand soldier disappeared, the surrounding space cleared up.
Instead of the original desert, a stone chamber appeared.
Yang Chen knew that this stone chamber was the appearance of the first floor of the Trial Tower. The previous desert was an illusion created by the prohibitions.
However, the door to the second floor in the stone chamber was closed, which made Yang Chen frown. He quickly remembered, “That’s right, I need to drip a drop of Essence Blood into the prohibited stone disc first, then I can enter the second floor.”
With this thought, Yang Chen found the Prohibited Stone Disc that Steward Xu mentioned, dripped a drop of Essence Blood, and suddenly, the door to the second floor opened with a loud rumble.
After entering the second floor, the tower’s second floor lit up with a faint visible light that could be seen by the spectators outside. Through this faint light, they could discern the layers the challenger had reached inside the tower.
Seeing the second floor lit up, the geniuses of North Mountain County around him couldn’t help but sneer.
“What a joke, it took him half an hour just to enter from the first floor to the second floor. This Yang Chen is nothing special; he was just bluffing earlier, but now he seems to be a mediocre character.”
Ma Hangbo was also sneering, “This guy? I think me estimating he could reach the third floor was already too generous; I bet he won’t even pass the fifth floor!”
Steward Xu, standing on the side, also chuckled, “It’s not that easy to break through the Trial Tower. Each floor will have sand soldiers appearing with the same cultivation level as the intruder. Moreover, these sand soldiers are all outstanding in their cultivation level. Besides, there is one sand soldier on the first floor, two on the second floor, and more the higher you go, how can it be so easy to pass?”
He knew how horrifying it was.
Putting those geniuses from the Six Sects into this Trial Tower, none of them could pass the first floor.
The higher your cultivation level, the stronger the sand soldiers. Moreover, among the sand soldiers with the same cultivation level, they are even better in their single fights than you.
Even if you managed to win a single fight, the second floor would be even more terrifying…
When Yang Chen came to the second floor, there was no desert scene, but a clear aura appeared out of nowhere. As soon as he refined it into his body, he felt refreshed.
“This should be the Creation Divine Aura,” Yang Chen commented. “Although it’s man-made, it has undoubtedly been made by the royal family at great cost. Just a small portion of this Creation Divine Aura made me feel that my cultivation is progressing rapidly. If I have more of it, my cultivation will surely improve steadily!”
This was the wonderful aspect of Creation Divine Aura.
It was not any excessive growth promotion method, but the essence of heaven and earth that could unconditionally enhance one’s martial arts progress upon refining.
Yang Chen was naturally not shy, refining the Creation Divine Aura into his body. After about half an hour, his Martial Arts Cultivation had actually advanced directly to the later stage of the Sixth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm!
“This Creation Divine Aura is truly extraordinary,” Yang Chen murmured after refining the Creation Divine Aura.
It was also after refining the Creation Divine Aura that the surrounding scene began to change significantly.
The desert emerged, and then, two sand soldiers formed from the desert sand, identical to those on the first floor. The same aura and appearance, but the number doubled to two!
Yang Chen knew full well that although it was just one additional sand soldier, the difference was immeasurable.
