Chapter 2037: Chapter 2038: Liu Bing’s Secret
After dealing with the demon beasts, Ye Luo did not continue his journey but looked towards Liu Bing.
His gaze startled Liu Bing.
"What kind of look is that? It’s not that I’m unwilling to act, you just didn’t give me a chance at all!"
He quickly said.
"I said, if we don’t show our strongest power, we will both fall here. It’s up to you now!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bing fell silent. Ye Luo was right. It looked like he had easily dealt with those ten or so demon beasts, but this was just the first level!
Thinking of this, Liu Bing quietly set down the massive sword on his back!
This was his master’s sword, which he was specially asked to bring for use on these upper nine levels!
It’s fair to say his purpose here was to enter these upper nine levels! Moreover, his master also assigned him a task, which he hadn’t told Ye Luo!
Even if Ye Luo were to kill him, he wouldn’t tell Ye Luo.
Time passed little by little, and fifteen days for a cultivator was just a fleeting glance.
While outside, it was only a mere three days!
This day was the opening day of the Tower of Trials.
Early in the morning, the family members of the Liu Family were waiting on the plaza in front of the Tower of Trials.
Many disciples of the Liu Family looked with envy at the Tower of Trials. To them, the tower was mysterious, and although those who entered only had a brief fifteen days, their strength would improve significantly!
Even the disciples themselves couldn’t understand this!
The spiritual power inside was abundant, but outside, using elixirs for cultivation was the same!
There were plenty of demon beasts inside for training, but the Cultivation World was full of dangers, and there were places outside to train as well!
As for treasures like herbs, the Liu Family had been accumulating them for thousands of years and spared no effort in nurturing these gifted disciples.
Yet even so, training inside for just fifteen days leads to a qualitative leap!
Firstly, the physical body is strengthened, which is impossible to achieve outside!
Secondly, stability in their realm, which is much more solid than outside!
More importantly, it seems that the talents of the disciples entering there are transformed! Talent is something that’s hard to explain, and the feeling within, only talented disciples who enter can understand it.
The reason for this, not even the Family Head can fathom!
But for Ye Luo, this issue is no problem. There is a lot of Dragon Soul power here, and not to mention the benefits to a cultivator’s body, even the rules of the space inside the tower are altered. Even if a cultivator does nothing upon entering the tower, the benefits are immense.
Just as the disciples anticipated eagerly, a figure appeared first before everyone.
The low-profile genius of the Liu Family, Liu Shang!
He stayed in seclusion almost year-round, and many in the Liu Family didn’t even know of his existence!
Even the Family Head had overlooked his presence.
But now, as he stood before everyone, nobody dared to overlook him anymore.
The Seventh Rank of the Earth Martial Realm! A master in the Martial Realm, and even more so in the Liu Family.
Moreover, everyone clearly felt that his aura had grown more formidable since he went to the Tower of Trials.
However, at this moment, his appearance was evidently very bedraggled.
His clothes were torn, his face was unkempt and dirty, and he had suffered significant injuries!
Everyone noticed a problem!
There were still a few hours left before the three days were up, meaning he crushed the jade slip to appear.
Something seemed off; with a few hours left outside, there was still at least an entire day inside, right? Coming out so early, isn’t it a waste?
Before the Family Head and Elder could inquire, two more figures appeared beside Liu Shang.
It was Liu Mei and Liu Cheng!
What exactly happened? Could something have changed inside? The surrounding Liu Family members were puzzled.
Moreover, Liu Mei and Liu Cheng also had significant injuries similar to Liu Shang.
"What exactly happened?" the Family Head finally asked with a frown.
"Reporting to the Family Head, the demon beasts inside the tower suddenly became violent in the past few days, many times more fierce than before, and we simply couldn’t withstand it, so we crushed the jade slip!" Liu Shang said truthfully.
Judging by the expressions of the other two, they must have encountered the same problem.
Demon beasts becoming violent? The Family Head squinted his eyes; could it be related to the upper nine levels?
But the situation in the upper nine levels couldn’t be seen by anyone, not even the Supreme Elder’s divination could discern it, let alone others.
"Family Head, what is Liu Qing’s situation?"
Liu Mei anxiously asked; she knew that these elders could see the inside of the tower through the crystal and was the only talented disciple who knew this secret!
The Family Head sighed, "They have entered the last nine levels!"
Upon hearing this, not only the talented disciples but even the ordinary Liu Family members around were shocked.
But the expressions of the elders were somewhat awkward, not understanding why the Family Head revealed this secret.
And Liu Mei was even more shocked; what the Family Head said about "they" naturally referred to Ye Luo and Liu Bing. He had only reached the thirty-second level! Yet the two had entered the last nine levels; the gap was somewhat too vast!
Beside him, Liu Cheng’s eyes were also flashing. Clearly, he had originally planned to ambush Ye Luo in the tower, not expecting him to enter the upper nine levels!
The surrounding Liu Family members, besides being shocked, were also excited!
In the history of the Liu Family, how many times have disciples entered the upper nine levels for trials?
None! Not to mention the upper nine levels, even reaching the fortieth level had never happened!
Now two have entered the upper nine levels; doesn’t that mean their strength surpasses that of the elders of the Liu Family? Then the chances of the Liu Family seizing the Sect Master position this time are very high!
But noticing these people’s thoughts, the elders’ faces became uncanny.
...
Inside the tower, it’s not just the ordinary tower levels experiencing problems; the demon beasts in the upper nine levels have similarly gone berserk.
At this moment, Ye Luo and Liu Bing were covered in blood, their breathing unstable, clearly carrying considerable injuries.
Still, their eyes were resolute, almost bloodthirsty from killing.
Even though Ye Luo’s strength was formidable, Liu Bing wielding the giant sword was also not inferior! This surprised Ye Luo somewhat.
The giant sword contained terrifying power, and though this power couldn’t compare to the Great Magical Power given to him by the Dragon King, it brought Liu Bing’s strength to a critical point between the seventh rank and the eighth rank!
"Haha, so the upper nine levels are only so much! One more level and we’ll reach the ninth level!" Liu Bing laughed loudly at the sky.
