“Because this is just the fourth layer of the assessment,” the weapon spirit replied.
The trials of the Nine-Story Tower get stronger with each layer.
“If you can break into the ninth layer, you will encounter the complete spiritual entity of Xuanyuan Jue, and you will be able to fight against him at the same realm. If you can defeat him, you will replace him and become the first of the Ancient Holy Tower, leaving your mark,” the weapon sage said.
“Do I need to break into the ninth layer first? Understood.”
Qin Chen's eyes burst with brilliance, revealing a burning fighting spirit. This Ancient Holy Tower assessment was becoming increasingly interesting.
After Qin Chen passed the fourth layer, he quickly entered the fifth layer.
At the time Qin Chen entered the fifth layer, almost all the remaining candidates had also entered the Ancient Holy Tower. The final top ten would be completely decided after this round of assessment.
Everyone was staring at the Ancient Holy Tower before them.
Suddenly.
Buzz!
The sixth layer of the Ancient Holy Tower lit up.
“Someone has entered the sixth layer, lighting up the sixth layer of the tower.”
“Who is it, that powerful!”
“It must be Yun Mengze’s Young Master; he is the top genius of Yun Prefecture. If Li Wanxue could light up the sixth layer, then Yun Mengze’s Young Master is certainly no exception.”
“Indeed, with Yun Mengze’s Young Master’s strength, lighting up the sixth layer is completely problem-free; the question is whether he can light up the seventh layer.”
“Entering the seventh layer is a significant challenge; that is an emperor-level genius.”
Outside, the crowd was buzzing with discussion. As the assessment neared its end, everyone wanted to know who the true top genius was and whether Yun Mengze’s Young Master could claim the title.
“Hey, the body of the sixth layer lit up again!”
“Are you seeing things?”
“How is that possible? I’m sure the tower body was dark just a moment ago, and then it lit up again.”
“Right, it shouldn’t have stayed lit for so long. There must be a second person who lit up the sixth layer!”
“Could there be another genius like Yun Mengze’s Young Master?”
“Do you think it might be that Qin Chen?”
“Are you kidding? Qin Chen just entered not long ago; he couldn’t be that fast.”
“What’s the rush? We’ll just wait and see. After entering the sixth layer, the difficulty suddenly increases; he’ll probably come out soon.”
“Sigh, I originally had a chance to break into the top ten, but now it seems hopeless.”
“You’re overthinking it!”
Buzz!
After a while, the sixth layer lit up again!
“What!”
This time, everyone was incredibly surprised. The sixth layer lit up again; this was the third time. Previously, only Qin Tingting and her companions had lit up the sixth layer, but now three had appeared at once.
“Could there still be other geniuses waiting to take the assessment?”
Buzz!
But just then, the sixth layer of the tower completely lit up—someone had entered the seventh layer.
“What? Someone completely lit up the sixth layer and entered the seventh layer!”
“An emperor-level genius.”
“Who? Who is it?”
“It must be Yun Mengze’s Young Master!”
The crowd erupted in excitement, finally, at the end of the assessment, someone entered the seventh layer of the Ancient Holy Tower. This was the first time in history. Aside from Yun Mengze’s Young Master, there could be no one else.
“Emperor-level genius!” In the sky, the Heavenly Saint Chu Ye was also excited. An emperor-level genius; he had actually discovered one in Yun Prefecture. If that person could light up the seventh layer of the tower, no matter how far he progressed, it would signify his identity as an emperor-level genius, indicating that he had the potential to reach the later stages of the Heavenly Saint.
Such a strong individual was not something one could encounter easily.
“Buzz!”
At that moment, the sixth layer lit up again.
