Chapter 364: Chapter 361: Not Worth Courting?_1
Translator: 549690339
In an instant, the geniuses of Beishan Main City were dumbfounded and speechless.
What could they say now?
No way.
Yang Chen had actually passed the fourth level and entered the fifth level.
“Impossible, how is this possible? Even the outstanding geniuses of our Beishan Main City can only reach the fourth level at most during their first attempt. Those who can pass the fifth level on their first try are already among the best. How can Yang Chen do this?”
“Fifth level, indeed it’s the fifth level. This guy has reached the fifth level.”
“Our Beishan Main City’s geniuses are the best. Yang Chen is not from Beishan Main City, how can he achieve this?”
“This is absolutely impossible!”
The most embarrassed person was Ma Hangbo, who had bet with Yang Chen.
At this moment, he stood in place, dumbfounded, his face ashen, and could hardly remain calm.
How could he stay calm?
Fifth level, Yang Chen reached the fifth level.
What does this mean?
It means that he will have to give up the one million spirit stones he had accumulated throughout his life to Yang Chen.
How could he have been so foolish as to bet with Yang Chen? Did Yang Chen’s challenge to the Trial Tower have anything to do with him? No one else bet, why did he have to foolishly bet with Yang Chen?
Ma Hangbo was filled with hatred in his heart.
Similarly, Steward Xu was also stunned, never expecting that Yang Chen would actually pass the fourth level and enter the fifth level on his first try in the Trial Tower. Although it took Yang Chen two hours to enter the fifth level from the fourth level, and it seemed that there was no hope for him to pass the fifth level, it was already a rare honor for him to reach the fifth level for the first time.
Even among the geniuses in the history of Beishan Main City, very few could reach the fifth level in their first attempt.
“This Yang Chen is really extraordinary.” Steward Xu murmured, “Feng Jingang’s praise for this kid is not an exaggeration.”
The discussions around continued.
“Hmph, this kid is just lucky.”
“I think it’s luck too.”
“He spent two hours fighting in the fourth level, and he must have been exhausted. Moreover, I think he found some tips during those two hours. After all, the sand soldiers of the prohibition only act based on the prohibition itself, and there must be some loopholes. Yang Chen might have found some tricks and luckily entered the fifth level. However, now he has reached his limit in the fifth level.”
When he said this, he forgot that if there were such easy tricks, would the Trial Tower be so difficult to pass?
At the same time, after Yang Chen passed the fourth level, he refined the Creation Divine Aura and his martial arts cultivation level jumped to the Seventh Layer Mid-stage of the Spiritual Martial Realm!
Such a qualitative leap made Yang Chen secretly amazed.
If he could break through the Trial Tower all the way to the end, the Creation Divine Aura alone would bring about a qualitative change to his martial arts cultivation.
Without hesitation, Yang Chen quickly got up after refining the Creation Divine Aura.
As he got up, the surrounding scenery changed as well.
The familiar desert.
Only this time, the number of sand dunes increased from four to five!
Without even thinking about it, Yang Chen knew that these five sand soldiers would be much more difficult to deal with than the four before!
Without hesitation or a word, Yang Chen waved his hand and formed a shadow of a virtual palm. Wasn’t it the Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm that he hadn’t used since entering the Trial Tower?
He didn’t use the Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm, but it didn’t mean he had forgotten it.
He didn’t use it because the power of the Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm was too great, and the True Qi consumed was too much. It consumed much more than the normal Thunderbolt Style, so when Yang Chen used this palm, he had to weigh his options.
However, when he reached the fifth level, he no longer bothered to consider that much.
If he didn’t use this move, he knew very well that it would not be easy to win just by relying on the Demonic Fire!
Looking at it now, the Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm’s sudden attack caused a powerful shock and had a satisfying effect for Yang Chen. At least the sand soldiers did not easily crack the Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm as they did with the Thunderbolt Style.
The Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm bombardment shook the entire space, and the five sand soldiers, who had originally stood still, were also separated by Yang Chen’s Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm.
Seeing this, Yang Chen shouted, “Deal with one first!”
The next moment, he displayed his extraordinary speed and struck out another Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm, targeting a separated sand soldier. Immediately, a large amount of Demonic Fire rushed towards the isolated sand soldier. In a short while, the sand soldier was completely swallowed up.
At this time, Yang Chen’s internal True Qi was less than 70%.
There were still four sand soldiers left. With the help of Black Mountain Dark Cloud Palm, Yang Chen managed to defeat the four sand soldiers after several bouts and jumped to the sixth level.
Upon arriving at the sixth level, it was also the shocking moment for the geniuses of Beishan Main City.
“What…?”
“It must be a joke.”
“He even passed the fifth level?”
Steward Xu, who originally thought Yang Chen had reached his limit, was also dumbfounded at this moment. He swallowed, realizing that he had underestimated Yang Chen even though he thought he had overestimated him.
Steward Xu sighed, “This time, Beishan Main City made a wrong choice. We thought that missing an Innate Divine Body was not a big deal, but Yang Chen has already become more than just a powerful physique. He managed to pass the fifth level of the Trial Tower in one go, which is something that few geniuses in the history of Beishan Main City, including the champions of the Genius Selection Competition, have ever accomplished.”
Steward Xu began to feel regretful for Beishan Main City.
Sometimes he wondered if those high-ranking people were crazy. Why did they pretend to be lofty and aloof, not trying to win Yang Chen over? Now Yang Chen revealed his Innate Divine Body but they wanted to win him over? It was already too late!
He still remembered clearly how those high-ranking people discussed at that time.
“Cultivation that is forcefully promoted is not worth mentioning.”
“It seems like he rose from the grassroots background, such characters usually don’t have much potential. Since he has already missed the best age for cultivation, even if he is a genius, he is not worthy of our Beishan Main City’s status.”
“As the overlord of Beishan County, our Beishan Main City can’t be as incompetent as the Six Sects, desperately trying to win people over. We need to observe carefully. If Yang Chen is really qualified, will he not cry and beg to join our Beishan Main City when we make a move? Hey, joining our Beishan Main City is his blessing.”
Now, looking at Yang Chen’s achievements, was he not worth winning over?
It was not known how the high-ranking people who discussed Yang Chen at that time would feel when they saw his achievements now.
