Chapter 443: 440: Distinct Levels_1

As for Yang Chen, he narrowed his eyes and released his Divine Soul Power to eavesdrop, only to discover that the force had set up a soundproofing formation, blocking his soul power outside. He couldn’t help but laugh secretly, and quickly instructed the old Fishmen of the Fishpeople Tribe to eavesdrop for him.

His soul might not be able to handle it, but it didn’t mean the Fishpeople Tribe could not.

About a cup of tea’s time later, the Fishpeople Tribe brought back the news they had eavesdropped on.

“Young Master, this is everything we’ve overheard,” the Fishman said to Yang Chen through a sound transmission within the Eight Extremities Flowing River Space.

Yang Chen nodded and didn’t say anything more, pondering in his heart: “These Ten Despair Challenges are quite interesting. The geniuses here may not all be demons, but they are all relatively outstanding figures in their respective counties. It’s surprising that even the first two challenges are difficult for them.”

Ten Despair Challenges, a total of ten challenges, it’s hard to imagine how difficult they are.

According to the information he had obtained, the first and second Despair Challenges were completely different from the Trial Tower, as if they were specifically prepared by the Tiandu Emperor for these geniuses.

As Yang Chen was analyzing the situation, the Tiandu Emperor’s voice suddenly sounded: “Oh? This girl named Jiang Caiying is not bad. She has passed the fourth level and reached the fifth level.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard that Jiang Caiying had actually made it to the fourth level.

Yang Chen also raised his eyebrows.

It seemed that Jiang Caiying was indeed exceptionally talented, with strength far beyond her peers. In this assessment by the Tiandu Emperor, she had achieved excellent results and passed the fourth level directly, heading straight for the fifth. If Jiang Caiying could break through the fifth level in one go, it would mean that she could directly enter the second floor and be the first to obtain the Emperor’s Treasure and inheritance.

Such a priority is what everyone dreams of, and it’s also one of the reasons why many people have their hearts hanging.

But soon, everyone calmed down.

Because…

Jiang Caiying didn’t make it through.

Tiandu Emperor clicked his tongue: “What a pity, the girl failed in her attempt at the fifth level.”

This made everyone’s expressions lighten up; thankfully, Jiang Caiying had not managed to break through the fifth level. Otherwise, had she passed the fifth level first, she would have definitely been the first to obtain the treasure. Obviously, everyone thought that the first person to break through the fifth level would be themselves.

After the Tiandu Emperor’s self-talk ended, the light began to shine…

Soon after, the ten geniuses who had been taken away by the Tiandu Emperor were brought back at the same time.

Jiang Caiying was among them.

Afterwards, the Tiandu Emperor announced the scores of the ten people.

“Huang Hong, Second Level.”

“Luo Jin, Second Level.”

“Jiang Caiying, you’re doing pretty well, little girl. Fourth level, just barely missed the fifth level. What a pity, what a pity, I’ll take special care of you next time, and I hope you’ll learn from this and pass the fifth level next time.”

After that, the Tiandu Emperor announced the results of the remaining seven people, but most of them were not too different, ranging from the first to the second level, with only a few slightly better at the third level. There were very few who could reach the fourth level in one go like Jiang Caiying.

Although the first attempt might not be the final result, it was obvious that those geniuses who only made it through one or two levels had no hope of reaching the fifth level.

This made many geniuses feel shocked. If the fifth level was already so difficult, what would the subsequent ten levels be like?

In no time, the Tiandu Emperor drew another ten people.

However, to Yang Chen’s frustration, he was not among the ten people.

“It seems my luck is really bad, while Han Fang’s luck is good, being drawn in the third round,” Yang Chen shrugged.

Then, he glanced at Jiang Caiying, who was sitting with a sullen expression, and said with a smile: “Miss Jiang, victory and defeat are common occurrences in a warrior’s life. Don’t take it to heart. With your experience of passing the fourth level, it won’t be difficult to break through the fifth level in the future.”

“What do you know? As soon as I entered the fifth level, I was instantly killed. It was too difficult,” Jiang Caiying frowned. “If I could withstand the first round of attack, there might still be a chance of winning, but the difficulty lies in whether I can withstand this first round!”

Jiang Caiying released a light breath.

Her strength was indeed good, and the Rainbow Needle was quite powerful, but the problem was that her protection and defense were far from sufficient.

Yang Chen also knew where Jiang Caiying’s weakness lay. When dealing with others, protecting and defending oneself was extremely important. If one didn’t pay close attention to these things, it would lead to a tragedy like Jiang Caiying’s.

This raised Yang Chen’s eyebrows, and he said, “Miss Jiang, I’ll give you something.”

With that said, he took out an Earth Armor Talisman and smiled faintly: “Miss Jiang, take this.”

“What’s this?” Jiang Caiying was stunned.

Yang Chen gently said, “This is an Earth Armor Talisman. When activated, it can create a powerful defense on the surface of your body. The higher your Martial Arts Cultivation, the more powerful it will be. In your hands, it should be very effective and should be able to assist you.”

This made Jiang Caiying frown: “Earth Armor Talisman? I’ve never even heard of this kind of talisman. It shouldn’t be a common talisman sold on the market. Seeing how well you know this talisman, Yang Chen, is it something you made yourself?”

Yang Chen only smiled and didn’t explain further. He just handed the Earth Armor Talisman to Jiang Caiying and stopped talking.

Jiang Caiying looked closely at Yang Chen with curiosity, pinching the Earth Armor Talisman in her hand. She willingly accepted the talisman, thinking that Yang Chen had a discerning eye, knowing just by looking at her that she needed help with her defense.

Time passed quickly, and in just a brief moment, the ten people who had been drawn in the third round returned from the Ten Despair Challenges.

“Wang Li, Second Level.”

“Yun Tong, Third Level.”

“Han Fang, Second Level.”

Han Fang was somewhat unwilling to accept this result. Before he went, he had dreamed of boldly breaking through the fifth level, then being the first to receive the Emperor’s Treasure and inheritance. But it was only when he braved the Ten Despair Challenges that he realized how wrong he was.

After barely making it through the second level, he was utterly defeated in the third level, with no room for resistance.

Could it be that he, Han Fang, was truly destined to have no connection with the Emperor’s Treasure?
