Martial World's
Chapter 41 - The Five Floors of the Beautiful Pagoda
"Half hour!" A Seven Profound Martial House elder said in surprise as he looked at the hourglass.
"Both were already on the fourth floor for a period of time."
Outside the Exquisite Pagoda, the once shining runes of the first three floors had been extinguished. Only the fourth floor was left shining with a brilliant light; this was proof that two people were still challenging the fourth floor.
“This is getting interesting. I had thought that only Wang Yanfeng would get this result, but even this Lin Ming could insist for a long time. It really made one not believe that he was merely a third-rate talent in the Second Stage of Body Transformation. Even with an innate divine power, reaching the fourth floor with just this power was not simple.” An elder said as he stroked his long white beard.Lin Ming's battle prowess was strange; he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for it.
Now Muyi opened his mouth and said slowly, “Sometimes, Mr. Sun, one's fighting prowess cannot be explained or estimated with just common sense. The previous trial was unable to gauge one's battle talent and perception. ”
Muyi did not explain that Lin Ming had an ancient master behind him. The workings of a Xiantian level expert and their inheritance skill manuals were too complicated for him to comprehend.
“Mmm, what Mr. Muyi said was not wrong; his fighting talent was truly outstanding. But his cultivation was shallow and the skill manuals he used were ordinary. He could actually rely on his superior fighting skills and intuition to deal with superior enemies, but in this kind of battle, skill and intuition had their end limits. As they said, strength can break ten thousand skills, but with just skill alone, the most that could happen was that their combat ability was raised by one level. The end result will not be good.”
Muyi smiled slylyly and said, "Master Sun, please take a good look."
…
As these elders discussed, Wang Yanfeng was fighting desperately on the fourth floor. His cultivation was at the early Third Stage, but his actual fighting strength and ability rivaled someone at the peak of the Third Stage. However, what he was facing right now were two Iron Armor Bears who were also at the peak of the Third Stage.
Although the Iron Armor Bears looked rather cute and awkward, their attack methods and strategies were coordinated, and their terrifying strength and near-perfect defense were simply unparalleled headaches.
Even if he was just scratched, his fate was that his muscles were torn apart and his bones were broken.
As soon as Wang Yanfeng used the secret family skill three times, he finally managed to take down the Iron Armor Bear. However, the true essence of his body had also nearly reached its limit, and the remaining defensive defenses of the Iron Armor Bear were able to block his family's secret skills.
Seeing the last Iron Armor Bear rushing towards him, Wang Yanfeng roared and leaped upwards. His hand clasped his sword and with a single stab he maliciously thrust it into the gaping bear's jaw!
The entire body of the Iron Armor Bear was covered with a hard iron plate; the only two weaknesses he could see were the eyes and mouth.
Wang Yanfeng's sword pierced through the bear's throat, but at the same time his wrist was broken by the bear's bite.
“Pah!” The Iron Armor Bear angrily struck Wang Yanfeng's chest with its claws. It felt as if he was struck by a sledgehammer, and his internal organs trembled.
Wang Yanfeng was thrown backwards like a chicken that fell and slammed onto the floor. He was covered in soil and only managed to support himself. His entire body was covered in blood, and this blood was mixed with flesh. This meat is actually part of his internal organs.
“Although I am at the Viscera Training stage, and my organs are protected by true essence, this one blow is fatal.”.
Although Wang Yanfeng was severely injured and on the verge of death, the Iron Armor Bear was not much better. His throat shattered and his life receded; it was only a matter of how long it could last before dying. But it could still kill Wang Yanfeng!
Wang Yanfeng spat out a mouthful of blood. “I have to break through this fourth floor. Even though I am number one with my results, if I pass the fourth floor my status in the family will definitely go up. Even if I am not the oldest child, I still have the chance to become the head of the household in the future. I can also silence the old coders and their stupid mouths and they will stop bothering dad to take my day source.”.
As Wang Yanfeng thought about these things, his face became grim with a monstrous color.
Yet even as Wang Yanfeng desperately tried his hardest, he had no idea that Lin Ming was using bloodshed tactics and tricks to fight and had broken through the brain of the second Iron Armor Bear.
Fourth floor, pass!
Lin Ming took a deep breath. He finally reached the fifth floor. This was also the last floor Qin Xingxuan reached! The floor that the middle-aged examiner said was impossible to pass...
…
He guessed that Lin Ming would at most reach the third floor, and that was already a high appraisal for him. But he didn't really think that Lin Ming would stay on the fourth floor for a long time. At this rate, it is even possible to pass through the fourth floor …
“When I first challenged the Beautiful Pagoda, my cultivation had reached the Fourth Stage of Body Transformation. With his cultivation at the Fourth Stage, it was certainly not difficult to defeat the inferior beasts of the fourth floor, but with his cultivation at the peak of the Second Stage, it was impossible to last for long on the fourth floor.
Qin Xingxuan secretly compared herself and her achievements to Lin Ming. He relied on his deep cultivation base to ascend to the fifth floor. If he was at the same cultivation as him, he would not be his opponent.
"It's been half an hour .." Qin Xingxuan said as she looked to her side at the hourglass.
But when Qin Xingxuan saw the time, the fifth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda suddenly lit up, and the runes and symbols began to activate one by one. The heavy and trembling true essence immediately fluctuated in all directions.
Seeing this, Elder Sun's teacup almost fell out of his hand. "Five floor!"
“Wang Yanfeng is really so fierce? He was there less than half an hour. Did the Wang Family of Yuelu City end up producing peerless talent?”
"For the past ten years these results have only matched Miss Xingxuan." The middle-aged man spoke as he looked at Qin Xingxuan. He saw Qin Xingxuan's eyes widen but did not know what it meant.
"Truly amazing. This kid is not a fish in a small pond. With a superior fourth-grade talent in addition to the support of the Wang Family, it would be incredible even within the Seven Profound Martial Houses and would easily qualify to receive a superior martial arts manual and one day become a core disciple of the Martial House Themselves. Even entering the Seven Profound Valley was a possibility! This Wang Yanfeng, is truly a heaven-gifted talent!
As the elder said this, the rune lights of the fourth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda began to tremble with a sudden burst of tremors. A figure bounced out like a sack.
As soon as Elder Sun saw this, he immediately issued an order, "Lin Ming came out, quickly arrest him and don't let him hurt himself fall."
It's been less than half an hour. The martial arts catcher of the Exquisite Pagoda must have been tired and someone was distracted, therefore Elder Sun had uttered a reminder. The death of the Beautiful Pagoda was only in dreamland. If a candidate failed and died, he would be expelled from the dreamland and come out of the pagoda and at that time that person would lose his consciousness. Each floor of the Exquisite Pagoda was thirty feet tall. The fourth floor was ninety feet tall. Under such conditions, if an unconscious person fell to the ground, even a Pulse Condensation expert would not be able to withstand the impact.
The people responsible for apprehending the expelled candidates firmly caught the fallen figure. They saw that the man had a pale and wrinkled face that was filled with cold sweat.
Because his appearance was so twisted, it took a while for the elders outside the Exquisite Pagoda to identify him. At that moment, they were all dumbfounded.
This ... This person may be ... Wang Yanfeng's?
The jaws of some elders fell as they looked up and saw shining runes from the fifth floor. This ... was the person who entered the fifth floor of Lin Ming?
The seven elders of the Profound Martial House were shaken. They already felt that Muyi's previous praise towards Lin Ming was incredible. Lin Ming's cultivation was only at the peak of the Second Stage; it was worse than Wang Yanfeng! But now he was the only one who had reached the fifth floor, and had already stayed there for several dozen breaths.
Qin Xingxuan looked at the fifth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda. His eyes changed with a variety of emotions. Wonder, admiration, respect ... Lin Ming had surprised him again. Will he slowly catch up to her in martial arts cultivation?
At this moment, in the corner of the Exquisite Pagoda mountain valley, Lan Yunyue was shaken as she looked at the shining fifth floor. He looked lost and confused. "Lin Ming .. Did he enter the fifth floor?"
In the history of the Seven Profound Martial Houses and the opening of the Exquisite Pagoda, only Qin Xingxuan managed to graduate. There were people who entered the fifth floor, and this would happen every few years. Everyone who did so was the monstrous talent of their generation, and in the future, their path to reaching the Pulse Condensation Period was only a matter of time.
"Lin Ming's..." A thought appeared in Lan Yunyue's mind. Even when compared to Zhu Yan, Lin Ming was no worse. Although he did not have a large family supporting him, as long as he reached the Nadi Condensation Period in the future, he was given rank and title.
...
At this moment, on the fifth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Ming saw a radical scene in front of him and could only force a smile. The fifth floor unexpectedly had two second level ferocious beasts!
Although they were only a weak species of ferocious beasts, their strength was equivalent to that of a martial artist at the Fourth Stage of Body Transformation. Not only that, but these two ferocious beasts had eight ruthless little brothers around them who were on par with the peak of the Third Stage.
Ten ferocious beasts stood in front of him. They had monstrous-looking bone protectors, bright red pupils, and their nails and sharp teeth were stained blood red. All of this caused waves of evil presences to soar into the sky. A martial artist in his cultivation would usually look at this scene and imagine himself being torn to shreds by thousands of pieces and losing the will to fight.
