“111100 points, stepping into the Fifth Layer, my God, he’s entered the Fifth Layer! What does this mean? What does it mean? At least he’s at the peak of the Master-level Realm, or even the Great Grandmaster Realm.”
“An eighteen-year-old Great Grandmaster?”
“Oh my goodness, is he even human? Could he be the reincarnation of a Wusheng or the illegitimate child of a Martial Immortal, possessing divine bloodline and True Dragon roots?”
“A common student from a small city is going against the heavens!”
Gasps, incredulous voices, and more were ringing in everyone’s ears.
This news had already spread throughout the entire Federation.
Information about Jiang Ming was investigated thoroughly in a short amount of time.
“An orphan, just a few days ago, he didn’t even have Muscle and Bone Resonance, and now he’s at least at the peak of a Master-Class? That’s a load of bull!”
“Entering the secret realm and soaring up is possible, but the odds are too slim for that. Also, a few days ago, he didn’t have Muscle and Bone Resonance, which means he had average roots and ordinary talent. How did he achieve Muscle and Bone Resonance in such a short time and then break through?” “Unbelievable and unimaginable!”
“There’s news that a former Principal of the Central Divine Martial College returned to his hometown and unintentionally discovered that he was a hidden talent, so he gave him a Peiyuan Pill, and then he soared against the sky.” “That’s too fantastical!”
“Fantastical? Isn’t that very normal?!”
“Uh, right.”
Jiang Ming had become the focus of the whole country before the Martial Exam’s Sea Election phase was even over.
In past Martial Exams, the students who made it to the first or even the top ten rankings had amazing backgrounds. Even the least impressive ones were offspring of families controlling big companies.
Now, an ordinary citizen’s child had appeared, naturally becoming more of a hot topic.
Sky Tower’s Fifth Floor.
Jiang Ming arrived here and after the Astral Travelling through the tower floors, he unknowingly gained further insight into the Spatial Realm.
“Reminder: After entering the Sky Tower’s Fifth Floor, the time limit for each floor is increased to two hours!”
“Reminder: The first challenge of this floor is to behead Lord Xue of Xue Family Castle.”
As soon as Jiang Ming calmed his spirit, the prompt sounded, and in front of him appeared a line of yellow text, which then turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.
Only a countdown remained on the side.
“Generally speaking, reaching the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm would greatly increase endurance, so lengthening the time limit is a natural thing!” ‘Natural* my ass.
He looked up and saw a castle in front of him, which was the size of a town. There were over a dozen auras of Master-Class powerhouses.
And the others?
There were at least a hundred.
All of them were skilled individuals.
And this was just the first challenge, yet the total time given was only two hours?
That was a bit harsh!
Jiang Ming didn’t want to waste time, so he used his light body skill. He darted through the air like lightning chasing the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived on the castle’s wall.
Without any hesitation, he swung his long sword, creating densely packed Sword Qi. This ordinary version of Ten Thousand Swords Return to One didn’t focus on strength but rather on the number of Sword Qi, aiming to kill groups of enemies.
“You dare to intrude into our Xue Family Castle? You’re courting death!”
A thunderous shout resounded like a roaring thunder. A burly man holding a mountain-splitting axe jumped into mid-air and swung a shocking axe at Jiang Ming.
The sky seemed to be split in half.
A strange force of Dao Resonance diffused, causing the air to become stagnant and heavy.
“Peak of the Master-Class Realm, thick and heavy comprehension, this axe strike isn’t bad!”
Jiang Ming commented as he swung his long sword. Above the sky dome, it seemed like a river appeared, vast and endless. When it came sweeping downward, it engulfed the opponent.
Great River Sword Intent.
With one strike, the opponent was killed.
He looked up and saw a middle-aged man holding a blade, standing straight at the top of the castle.
Even by just standing still, his invincible aura made people unable to resist the feeling of worship.
At this time, several more people attacked.
All of them were in the Master-Class Realm.
“This challenge is interesting. To behead Lord Xue, 1 have to kill these subordinates first. Killing these guys, Lord Xue won’t make a move. Is this to let me adapt, or to let the candidates earn some points?”
Jiang Ming kept thinking as he continued fighting.
Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, killing them all with one sword.
These people were also powerful in the Martial Arts Fourth Layer, but they were much weaker compared to the young man in white from the last challenge in the previous floor.
Even weaker when compared to Jiang Ming.
No matter their Qi output or the Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique that was gradually upgrading, they couldn’t compare to him at all. “The Ten Thousand Swords Return to One technique needs to be refined. If I keep accumulating Sword Intent, it’s easy to create a sense of bloatedness.” Jiang Ming thought as he leaped up and charged towards Lord Xue.
“Die!”
Lord Xue’s blade cracked the sky, and astonishingly spewed out over 40 meters of blade armor, making Jiang Ming’s pupils shrink. This was not within the World of the secret realm, but the Sky Tower within the main world.
Even for Jiang Ming, it wasn’t easy to get too much stronger.
It wasn’t that his Qi wasn’t plentiful, but rather, there was an output limit that his meridians could handle.
What was more terrifying was that the axe contained a complete Mountain Opening comprehension, possessing an edge that could break everything. With the extreme power, it was far more powerful than any Master-Class fighter. “Drop Rain One Sword!”
Jiang Ming struck directly with one sword. The surrounding fog turned into dense rain intent, which gradually grew colder. Eventually, all the power of Dao Resonance converged into a single point of light at the tip of the sword, piercing through the blade armor.
Bang…
The airflow explosion created a circle of air blasts in the sky.
The buildings below were mostly destroyed.
Jiang Ming also retreated and landed on the roof of a broken house, looking at Lord Xue with a serious expression..
