No one had paid attention to it during their discussions. Only now did they realize that the light on the seventh floor of the Trial Tower had extinguished, and the light on the eighth floor had lit up. What did that mean?

Everyone’s minds seemed to short circuit, they knew what the light on the eighth floor meant, but they couldn’t believe it. It was truly an unbelievable matter.

After everyone’s brief stupefaction, a voice suddenly broke the current serene atmosphere.

“Yang Chen passed the seventh floor and entered the eighth floor?”

“That’s impossible; it must be a joke. I must be dreaming.”

“What joke? The lights on the Trial Tower represent everything.”

“Yang Chen really made it to the eighth floor, my God! What kind of demon is he?!”

Originally, Ma Hangbo, who had been able to remain calm, was greatly shocked and tested when he saw Yang Chen reach the fifth floor.

However, after the shock, he could still endure it.

Because he kept convincing himself that his Martial Arts Cultivation was superior to Yang Chen’s, defeating Yang Chen would not be a problem, and he still had a sense of superiority against Yang Chen.

But since hearing his fellow senior and junior brothers mention that Yang Chen’s Martial Arts Cultivation was not a problem even against those at the peak of the Ling Wu Realm, he felt uneasy. Was it that powerful to break through the seventh floor? He didn’t know because he hadn’t broken through it himself.

But he could still maintain his composure, because his Martial Arts Cultivation was at the Ling Wu Realm Peak, and he could at least remain undefeated against Yang Chen.

But now…

Yang Chen had passed the seventh floor and entered the eighth floor!

This meant that even as a peak Ling Wu Realm cultivator, he might not be able to match Yang Chen.

Because he had only broken through the fifth floor of the Trial Tower, how could he have any sense of superiority against Yang Chen now?

Not only Ma Hangbo, but everyone present was also shocked.

When they looked at Steward Xu, he was already gone. As soon as Yang Chen broke through the seventh floor of the Trial Tower, steward Xu had already hurried away, most likely to report this matter to the higher-ups. No joke, being able to reach the seventh floor on his first attempt was an outstanding achievement, meaning Yang Chen was more than qualified to challenge the fifteenth floor in the future.

For something like the Trial Tower,

If you start low, the end point may not be bad.

But if you start high, it’s tough for the end-point to be bad.

“Yang Chen is too strong.”

“He’s reached the eighth floor of the Trial Tower.”

“This, this…”

“It’s just unbelievable.”

“No, look!”

Just as everyone had barely settled down from the shock, someone exclaimed once more.

“The light on the ninth floor is on!”

“Yang Chen has broken through to the ninth floor!”

“My God, even the eighth floor couldn’t stop him?”

“What kind of demon is this kid?”

“In ancient times, except for those geniuses from the Royal Family who had already broken through the Trial Tower elsewhere and reached the twentieth floor in their first attempt, no one has ever reached the ninth floor in one go. Even Yun Han Dao and Huang Taiji haven’t done it.”

The people looked and saw that they were right, Yang Chen had indeed entered the ninth floor, and they hadn’t seen it wrong.

Ma Hangbo had the most significant reaction.

At this moment, when Ma Hangbo saw Yang Chen breaking through to the ninth floor in one go, he couldn’t believe it. His vision went dark, and he fainted. He couldn’t accept this reality. At least for now, Yang Chen had reached the ninth floor, and he was completely capable of defeating Ma Hangbo.

Actually, what Ma Hangbo didn’t know was that his thoughts were completely unnecessary.

Because when Yang Chen reached the ninth floor, he relied more on his Starfire. If not for Starfire, Yang Chen would probably have been stopped at the sixth floor. However, it was quite normal for most geniuses to have some unseen moves.

But since they were unseen, like Starfire, Yang Chen would never use it even if he lost against Ma Hangbo. Without using Starfire, it would be tough for him to gain an advantage against Ma Hangbo.

But Ma Hangbo didn’t know this, and he ended up fainting from fear.

Yang Chen did not know that Ma Hangbo had fainted from fright. If he did, he probably would not have had the current solemnity of being on the ninth floor.

At the moment, Yang Chen stood in the desert with his hands behind his back, facing the ultimate test of the nine sand soldiers!

As of now, his Martial Arts Cultivation had improved from the initial stage of the Sixth Level of the Spirit Martial Realm to the peak of Stage 8 of the Soul Martial Realm, after being cleansing by the numerous Creation Divine Auras!

Yes, the Spirit Martial Realm Eighth Stage Peak, only one step away from the Spirit Martial Realm Ninth Stage.

If he could break through the ninth floor, he was confident that he could rush straight from the Eighth Level to the Ninth Level!

Soon, the sand soldiers on the ground began to gather, all nine sand soldiers were complete!

Just as these nine sand soldiers merged, they formed an intricate formation.

Yang Chen knew without looking that it was a Combined Attack Formation.

Starting from the sixth floor, these sand soldiers began to use the Combined Attack Formation, and the higher the floor, the more intricate and profound the formation became.

If it were not for the corrosion power of his Starfire, he might not have been able to break through the sand soldiers’ defenses and advance all the way to the ninth floor.

But even so, by the time he reached the ninth floor, he was exhausted and running low on True Qi.

“Nine sand soldiers, there’s really no room for breathing, huh? Let’s struggle once more; succeed or fail, and if we can’t, just give up.” Yang Chen sighed. His remaining True Qi now couldn’t support him for a long, sustained battle.

Therefore, one strike will decide the outcome; that’s the key. Win or lose, he’s out of options!

Having made up his mind, Yang Chen spurred all his Starfire and attacked the nine sand soldiers directly.

However, the Combined Attack Formation of these nine sand soldiers was extraordinary. When the nine sand soldiers joined forces, their combined energy surprisingly resisted the corrosion power of his Starfire.

It wasn’t that his corrosion power couldn’t corrode them, but rather that it couldn’t corrode them fast enough!

A single breath could only corrode a little, and over time, his True Qi consumption would be incalculable!

His Starfire was very energy-consuming, and with his current condition, it was challenging to maintain continuous corrosion, let alone continuing to corrode them further. His True Qi would eventually give out.

Feeling the dwindling of his True Qi due to the use of Starfire, Yang Chen could only sigh, knowing that the ninth floor was out of reach, and he had to withdraw and leave the Trial Tower.
