Chapter 270: Who Could It Be?

“Hahaha!”

Su Mo gave a sharp bark of laughter once the reason for this phenomenon came to him. If this theory proved correct, even if countless more white-shadowed figures appeared, none would be able to stop him.

“Vanish!”

Su Mo shouted, while pushing his Martial Soul to its limit. With a wave of his sword, dozens of powerful sword Qi burst forth instantly.

These 64 white-shadowed figures started to tremble uncontrollably and were rendered completely helpless under the might of Su Mo’s devouring power.

At a slash of the sword Qi, every single white-shadowed figure was completely obliterated.

“Hehe! These rewards were clearly meant for me!” Su Mo smiled.

Swoosh!

Not long after, another white-jade box flew towards him. Su Mo quickly grabbed it in his hands.

“Yet another martial scroll!”

Su Mo was delighted at the sight of the martial scroll and rolled it open gently.

“Secret skill, Triple Breathing Techniques!”

Su Mo’s brows knitted together as he read the martial scroll’s title. It was another secret skill, but this skill wouldn’t be able to add to his fighting skill. This skill would, instead, enable him to mask his presence.

Given that time was of essence in this place, Su Mo stored this Triple Breathing Techniques scroll away.

Shortly after, Su Mo’s figure disappeared from this space and entered the eighth floor of the giant tower.

Su Mo might have left, but within the space of the seventh floor, several people were still fighting hard.

Despite being covered in blood, Leng Yunfeng continued to charge at these white-shadowed figures with a black war saber in hand.

There was no denying Leng Yunfeng’s strength, but he was steadily losing ground under the continuous attack of these 64 white-shadowed figures. After a fierce one hour long battle, Leng Yunfeng vanquished 13 white-shadowed figures.

However, he had also taken a direct hit to his body and was flung directly onto the bowl-shaped light shield of this space. Blood splattered everywhere as he was seriously injured.

His body was immediately transported out of this space.

Leng Yunfeng, like Xin Wuming before him, failed at the seventh level.

In other two spaces, Ji Xuehan, ranking 89th on the List of Top 100 Talents, and Jiang Cheng, ranking 97th, were both giving their all in this fight. They started losing ground almost as soon as the fight began.

Though completely covered by the sword radiance from her blue sword, Ji Xuehan could only defend against the onslaught of attacks by the white-shadowed figures and was unable to launch a counterattack.

Jiang Cheng continued to strike furiously with his palms, desperately trying to defend against the onslaught of palm print attacks from the sky. His mouth spurting blood while his body was thrown backward by the force of these attacks.

In another space, Jin Yang appeared with a flash of light.

Under the force of the 64 white-shadowed figure attacks, Jin Yang was seriously injured after just one move and was transported out.

By this time, a large number of people had started to gather outside the tower. Most of the people who had entered the tower were already transported out. Everyone received some treasures, some more, some less, depending on how high they managed to climb.

Obviously, those who didn’t even manage to pass the first level came away with nothing.

Only a few people remained in the tower at this time.

“Feng Xiu, Leng Yunfeng, Ji Xuehan, Jiang Cheng, these Top 100 Talents are truly amazing. They are still inside!”

“Of course, being on the List of Top 100 Talents, every single one of them would easily win against those a level above their current level. This is far from something I’m capable of!”

“I guess these few would have all reached the seventh floor. I wonder if anyone of them will be able to pass?”

Many were whispering expectantly. Even Xin Wuming failed at the seventh floor. Could the rest of talents on the List of Top 100 Talents pass through?

Xin Wuming, sat on the ground, healing his wounds while staring intently at the seventh floor of the giant tower.

Just then, the seventh floor lit up, indicating that someone was in the process of challenging that level.

Xin Wuming knew how terrifying the seventh floor was, so he did not believe that the others would be able to pass successfully. Even if that person was Feng Xiu, Xin Wuming still did not believe that he would be able to go through.

Just then, the eight floor lit up, the bright beam shooting across all directions.

Xin Wuming was stunned, his eyes bulging wide. Someone had passed the seventh floor and reached the eighth floor. Maybe that person might not be as strong as him, but this definitely meant that person was more capable than him against stronger opponents.

During this test of the giant tower, each opponent’s cultivation would differ in accordance to the cultivation of the challenger. A challenger with a lower cultivation would go against white-shadowed figures of a lower cultivation, while a challenger with a higher cultivation would naturally meet white-shadowed figures of a higher cultivation.

Yet one thing remained constant. After each floor, the white-shadowed figures’ realms would increase at the same rate.

“My god! Someone managed to reach the eighth floor!”

“I wonder who could it be?”

“Is there a need to ask? Obviously, it’d be Feng Xiu, the top talent from the South of Yan River! The top expert of the young generation!”

The crowd around the tower exploded in disbelief.

Everyone stared at the top of the tower in shock. Not only did the eighth floor light up, the seventh floor still remained lit, showing that there were still people fighting on the seventh floor.

Not long after, a bloody figure was flung from the tower’s gate.

“This is Jin Yang from Skymoon Country. It’s amazing that he managed to reach the seventh floor of this tower!”

“We always knew Jin Yang’s strength was close to those on the List of Top 100 Talents. Just three years ago, he almost made the List!”

“This year’s Top-100-talent Competition is also about to begin. Jin Yang might secure a spot this time!”

Jin Yang was relatively famous, so he was easily recognized.

After Jin Yang was transported out of the tower, he immediately started to work on healing his wounds. He had suffered serious injuries under the attack of those 64 white-shadowed figures, which would take at least two weeks to heal completely.

Shortly after Jin Yang was flung out, yet another bloody figure was flung out of the gates.

Everyone recognized this figure as Leng Yunfeng.

“Even Leng Yunfeng has been transported out, only three people should remain!”

“Yes! Those remaining should be Feng Xiu, Ji Xuehan, and Jiang Cheng.”

“I’m sure Feng Xiu is on the eighth floor. Ji Xuehan and Jiang Cheng should still be on the seventh floor!”

“This test of the giant tower is too challenging, not even those on the List of Top 100 Talents may be able to pass through successfully!”

Everyone started chattering excitedly amongst themselves. Soon enough, both Jiang Cheng and Ji Xuehan were eliminated.

Both were pale and had bloodstains all over their bodies.

By this time, the light on the seventh floor had dimmed and only the eight floor remained lit. It was now clear to everyone that the challenger on the eighth floor was Feng Xiu.

Now, in the eyes of everyone, the rest of the challengers had clearly failed. Only Feng Xiu remained in the tower.

All of them continued to stare intently at the eighth floor. Will Feng Xiu, the top talent from the South of Yan River, be able to pass through successfully?

On the eighth floor, Feng Xiu’s opponents were 128 white-shadowed figures whose cultivation were at Peak Lv 5 True Spirit Realm.

The 128 white-shadowed figures were far too powerful. One move from their Joint Attack Method was earth-shattering, trapping Feng Xiu firmly in their formation.

Feng Xiu lived up to his ranking of 78th on the List of Top 100 Talents and utilized a secret method which tripled his strength. It went against the laws of nature and made him capable of fighting three levels above his current level.

However, even an average Martial Artist at the Lv 6 True Spirit Realm might not be able to block the combined power of 128 white-shadowed figures’ Joint Attack Method.

Similar to a small boat whipped across the ocean, Feng Xiu was in danger and might suffer defeat at any moment.

Sure enough, after several breaths, Feng Xiu could not longer handle the might of the attack. His body cracked under the power of the attack, and blood splattered everywhere.

Fortunately, this giant tower’s purpose was to test challengers. Once Feng Xiu was utterly defeated, the white-shadowed figures naturally stopped their attack.

Feng Xiu was not willing to admit defeat, but his body was transported out of the eighth floor.

The broken figure of Feng Xiu flew out of the tower gates.

Everyone was shocked at how much worse Feng Xiu’s injuries looked in comparison to the rest of the Top 100 Talents.

Everyone sighed as even Feng Xiu had been defeated!

Not even the top young talent from South of the Yan River was able to get past the eighth floor. This giant tower really was too difficult!

No wonder this was the trial test site of the post-archean forces. With a difficulty level this high, the talents of today are not able to pass through at all!

“Look! Someone is still on the eighth floor!”

Someone shouted just then. Everyone looked up, their eyes suddenly re-focusing on the eighth floor.

The eighth floor was still brightly lit, indicating a challenger within.

Shock filled everyone’s faces. All five talents from the List of Top 100 Talents have returned. Who could still be challenging the eighth floor?

Leng Yunfeng, Xin Wuming, Ji Xuehan and Jiang Cheng’s faces were grim. As talents who made it to the List of Top 100 Talents, they all failed to pass the seventh floor.

Now, some unknown person actually made it to the eighth floor!

Who could it be?
