E-38 Breaking Through Level Four


Outside the Exquisite Pagoda, the elders saw the magic array from the fourth floor lit up and they were shocked. "Geez, fourth floor, and it only takes half an incense stick!"


"This Wang Yanfeng, he's not simple." These elders had already expected Wang Yanfeng to reach the fourth floor, but did not anticipate that he would do so so quickly. “With such speed, perhaps Wang Yanfeng could break through to the fourth floor and step onto the fifth floor. Of course I think that the fifth floor is impossible, but he should be proud even with this result. "


“I just don't know how Lin Ming and Liang Tieshan look like. Both results are not so bad. Liang Tieshen was a tall and burly youth who possessed innate divine power. He was fifteen too.


Lin Ming and Liang Tieshan were fifteen years old, had cultivation at the Second Stage of Body Transformation, and also possessed innate divine power. This kind of strength at their age was impressive.


However in the eyes of many elders, if the two were compared to Wang Yanfeng, there was still a gap.


That Lin Ming possessed an innate divine power was not wrong, but he was only at the Second Stage of Body Transformation. Wang Yanfeng was at the Third Stage of Body Transformation. The main characteristic of the Third Stage was to incorporate true essence into the visceral organs. The heart and lungs of the Aerospace Training martial artist would be empowered. Their breathing would be long and their endurance double that of a Second Stage martial artist.


Without a doubt, Wang Yanfeng also possessed superior technique and speed. Even looking at strength, Wang Yanfeng's record was only 300 less than Lin Ming; the difference wasn't too great.


For this third trial, if there were no accidents, then Wang Yanfeng would occupy the first position.


The third trial also accounted for the largest proportion in terms of the final evaluation. If Wang Yanfeng came out first in the third trial, other than his talent would surpass Lin Ming, and the first place of the entrance examination would be his.


However at this moment, the reality was that Wang Yanfeng was struggling on the third floor. These two martial artists were difficult to deal with, for every few moves they traded, he would find one that threatened his life. Wang Yanfeng used a large amount of strength and true essence to defeat him, but also suffered a minor injury.


“Sial, how strange this is. Even with the 'Nine Paths of Truth' passed down in my family, I only managed to kill one. It seemed like the opportunity to reach the fourth floor was getting more and more uncertain. " Wang Yanfeng was worried; he had consumed 20% of his inner true essence. In this dreamland he was unable to equip it with pills or medicines. He could only rely on the training of the Third Stage innards to supplement his energy bit by bit.



Wang Yanfeng was anxious over the level of his original essence consumption, but Lin Ming was also worried about the same reason. He was not at Viscera Training, but only at the Second Stage of Body Transformation, Flesh Training. He did not have excessive vitality and his every move consumed more true essence.


Fortunately, Lin Ming had the 'True Primal Chaos Formula' and had achieved little success in the first stage. This ancient skill revolved within him, it allowed him to supplement his true essence with an unceasing supply. Although he could not use it nonstop, it could still reduce the intense pressure he felt.


This time in front of Lin Ming, his opponent was two first-rate ferocious beasts - the Iron Armor Bears.


There were strong and weak first-rate ferocious beasts. The Single Horned Rhino was weak; it was only equivalent to a peak Second Stage martial artist. But this Iron Bear was actually the same as a peak Third Stage martial artist. Not only that, but there are two.


Lin Ming was serious. Previously he had never fought against an opponent at the peak of the Third Stage. He did not have full confidence in winning in beating one, and not to mention this pair.


But the most important thing was that this battle had two strict conditions. First, he could not use his limited true essence. Second, he could not accept a single injury.


Lin Ming sighed as he recalled every detail he knew about the Iron Armor Bear.


The power of the Iron Armor Bear was 5000 jins. Its speed was a bit slow, but its entire body was covered by a thick plate of bone armor. Swords or spears would be difficult to pierce through this carapace, and have no special weaknesses.


Even though he knew that the armor had no weaknesses, Lin Ming knew that the Iron Bear Armor itself had weaknesses, and that is that between the many junctions and the protective crossbreeds of bones there are some small gaps.


The gap is located in the joint. They were thin and hard to target; if he wanted to attack these places in the heat of battle, he would have to open his eyes to his insights and use instant judgment and matchless accuracy to get a chance.


But after practicing the 'True Primal Chaos Formula', Lin Ming's perception had risen to a new level and his judgment and accuracy had been nurtured steadily by his years of deboning.


“Zhu Yan should have been able to easily deal with these two Iron Armor Bear half a year ago, not to mention now Zhu Yan would have already progressed. I can't lose to him like this. "


Lin Ming looked at the two Iron Armor Bears and his fighting spirit began to increase in his heart.


“Hu!”


An Iron Bear Iron suddenly leaped upwards and smashed its thick and heavy claws at Lin Ming.


The Iron Armor Bear weighed over a thousand jins. Coupled with its overwhelming power, this attack would even topple an elephant!


Lin Ming's eyes widened and he did not retreat. Instead, like a graceful bird flying gracefully and quietly, it passed through the Iron Armor Bear. His eyes were focused to the point of the bear's belly where two steel plates of bone joined each other and pierced with his knife!


"!"


It was only a simple deboning knife, but Lin Ming had trained his punch tens of thousands of times. The blade accurately slid between the two bone-protective plates. The knife was fast, and with just a slight hitch in its thick flesh, it slid very quickly.


As soon as the punch occurred, before the time it took to snap a finger, blood spurted into the air.



“Less than forty people have been eliminated and more than fifty have died. This is a good result. ” An elder of the Seven Profound Martial Houses slowly said as he looked at the candidates who had been kicked from the Exquisite Pagoda.


The Beautiful Pagoda was completely sealed from the outside. The elders were not Xiantian experts and had no way of seeing what was happening inside the Exquisite Pagoda. They could only judge the extent to which the candidates had gone from which layer they were expelled from.


If they were ejected from the first floor then they were eliminated, and if they were ejected from the second floor then they escaped.


A quarter of an hour had passed since the candidates entered the Exquisite Pagoda, and they had all long passed the first floor. Some had arrived on the third floor and some had even challenged the fourth floor.


“Now only five people are not out.” The moment an elder said this, the symbols began to flash on the Exquisite Pagoda and the other two candidates were expelled. They had been ejected from the third floor, so they failed on the third floor.


Some martial artists had already ran over and taken care of the unconscious candidates.


These two candidates were at the peak of the Third Stage of Body Transformation and resulted in their strength and being 2300 jins. Unfortunately they were also seventeen and eighteen years old. They had not been able to break through the third floor of the Exquisite Pagoda, but they were also proud of their results.


When these two people were expelled, Lan Yunyue immediately turned to them and immediately distinguished that they were not Lin Ming.


Of the 92 candidates who have entered so far, 39 have been removed from the Exquisite Pagoda. Lan Yanyue could clearly see that these people did not include Lin Ming. It could only mean that Lin Ming was still inside the Exquisite Pagoda!


Lin Ming ... Lan Yunyue lightly bit her lips as her eyes glazed over with memories.


He knew that this meant that Lin Ming had passed by, and was at least on the third floor.


The third floor was actually an incredible glory. In the school records of the Seven Profound Martial Houses, those who passed through the third floor would one day reach the peak of Body Transformation, the Sixth Stage of Pulse Condensation.


The Royal Government will bestow upon all Pulse Condensation Period martial artists a rank and title within the kingdom. Although it was only a third-rate viscount, it was not much different from official and even hereditary positions.


This is a noble title! In the Sky Fortune Kingdom, this was a symbol of glory and aristocracy. Due to the personal glory of one person, their family would enter the lineage of aristocracy and honor their ancestors.


At that time, another candidate was expelled from the fourth floor.


This meant that Lin Ming had passed the third floor!


This tall and strapping boy with a thick face was a boy with the power of a god from birth, Liang Tieshan. He had exerted his best efforts and after sustaining severe injuries, he fell to the third floor and was defeated almost upon arrival.


“Liang This Tieshen is a good seedling. He deserves to be treated with resources. "


“Mm., He's pretty good. Now there were only two more, Lin Ming and Wang Yanfeng. "


“That Lin Ming can survive even with his current strength is not easy. His strength was greater compared to Liang Tieshan and he also had a strong martial arts soul that helped him. But breaking through to the fourth floor is uncertain… "


"Mmm, let alone Lin Ming, even Wang Yanfeng won't find it easy."



"Poh!" With a single blow from his knife, blood shot out from the foot of the Iron Bear. Lin Ming fell as the furious Iron Armor Bear pounced on him.


Now, the two Iron Armor Bears had become Blood Bears. They each had a few more pieces of the blade at the weak point between their steel plates. Although the wound is not fatal, blood loss can quickly be deadly!


This second movement of the Iron Bear was clearly slowed down due to excessive blood loss.


The opportunity!


Lin Ming dodged the two bears that were trying to catch him. Their blood loss and exhaustion opened up their defensive gaps, and Lin Ming sprung upwards like a cheetah.


"Rubber!" The Iron Armored Bear stood on its hind legs and carried out an attack with its claws. But Lin Ming had already escaped, and while dodging at the same time, Lin Ming directly stabbed his deboning knife into the eyes of the Iron Armor Bear!


Blood splashed from the terrible wound and the Iron Armor Bear let out an angry and painful roar. Lin Ming clenched his hands and punched the hilt like a jackhammer, and the deboning blade sunk directly into the beast's brain.


The Iron Armor Bear is dead!
