A martial artist from Cang Xuan City, a martial artist who was initially not valued by anyone, who had not registered for the martial artist assessment, yet requested to work with the Heavenly Work to gain entry into the Ancient Saint Tower, making everyone think he was a joke.
But this very person broke into the Eighth Tower.
This was simply a remarkable feat.
In the skies above, many big shots were also shocked. “Impossible, this can't be! Qin Chen actually has higher talent than my son; there must be some problem,” said Yun Dongguang, the master of Yunzhou, in anger. His son was not the first, and he had been extremely proud before, but now, it was like being doused with a bucket of ice water—how could he accept it?
“Yun Dongguang, that’s not right. Are you saying only your Yun family can be first? Young friend Qin Chen cannot take first place?”
The master of Wangu Building, Tian Xing, said lightly, though his heart was filled with joy.
He had not considered that the one entering the eighth layer of the tower could be Qin Chen, but that thought had only flashed by; after all, he was competing against Yun Mengze.
But now, Yun Mengze had admitted himself that he was not the one who entered the eighth layer, leaving only one possibility.
Qin Chen!
The shock Qin Chen brought him was so profound that even Tian Xing himself was astounded.
It made sense; the aura that Qin Chen exuded back then was vast as the sea, even he could not fathom it. Such a prodigy, why wouldn’t he be able to enter the eighth layer?
Once he entered the eighth layer, even Tian Xing had to respect it, for he considered that even if he were ten thousand years younger and participated in the assessment, he might not achieve Qin Chen's results. No, it wasn't that he might not; it was that he definitely wouldn't.
“Tian Xing, is it true that Qin Chen, as you all discussed, comes from a city below Yunzhou?”
Chu Ye from the Heavenly Work hurriedly asked.
Tian Xing nodded, saying, “Indeed, Qin Chen is from Cang Xuan City below Yunzhou and has even established a force called Chen Di Pavilion.”
Chu Ye was stunned.
Previously, when Qin Chen requested the opportunity to enter the Ancient Saint Tower, he had been moved by Qin Chen's extraordinary demeanor and seemed to have some background, so he gave him two choices.
But who would have thought that Qin Chen would give him such a huge surprise?
How could this be? Entering the Eighth Tower, such results, even some top talents from major forces within Guang Han Fu might not be able to achieve, let alone a city below Yunzhou.
In such a small place, how could the cultivation environment compare with Guang Han Fu's city?
Not to mention resources or the level of strong practitioners; they were simply inferior to Yunzhou City, let alone to Guang Han Fu's city.
Everything about it was backward, practically a barren land.
Yet someone coming out from such a barren land managed to accomplish a remarkable feat, entering the eighth layer of the Ancient Saint Tower!
Such aptitude could rank among the top ten within the entire Guang Han Fu.
Chu Ye was incredibly excited; he had profited greatly this time, not only selecting a genius to enter the Eighth Tower but also three to enter the Seventh Tower and a few for the Sixth Tower, greatly exceeding his expectations for this trip.
But thinking of the bet he made with Qin Chen, Chu Ye trembled.
He had almost forgotten that he had wagered with Qin Chen! If Qin Chen failed to pass the Heavenly Work's Refiner assessment, he would have to kill Qin Chen on the spot.
This...
Chu Ye was almost going insane.
Why, why did he set such a degrading rule?
The Heavenly Work's Refiner assessment was incredibly difficult; he knew it all too well. Even veteran peak Earth Level Refiners might not pass; could Qin Chen succeed?
Moreover, the rules of the Heavenly Work were strict. If he didn’t act, it would undoubtedly impact the reputation of the Heavenly Work.
Yun Dongguang, the master of Yunzhou, obviously considered this point as well and couldn't help but sneer.
