Martial Master

“Doo!”

In the midst of shock, before anyone could react, a light sound echoed.

In the black stone chamber where more than ten people had persisted through the fourth trial, the spiritual lantern suddenly flickered, and they all entered the fifth trial at once.

“Hiss!”

Gasps of cold air sounded repeatedly, and everyone present was stunned.

The fifth trial represented the true power at the sect level. The fact that these more than ten people could enter the fifth trial indicated one thing: their control over the profound-level true qi had already reached a terrifying degree. Although it wasn't perfect, it was at least quite substantial.

And these more than ten individuals were all top talents from the Dawi Dynasty and various major forces, each one of them no weaker than a peak mid-stage profound-level martial artist.

Except for Qin Chen!

Qin Chen was like a monster, becoming the only heavenly-level martial artist among these more than ten people, and he entered the fifth trial in a perfect state.

Doo doo doo...

As soon as he entered the fifth trial, the spiritual lanterns outside the black stone chamber where these more than ten people were located flickered wildly.

Immediately after, one genius after another was crazily eliminated.

They had already struggled significantly in the fourth trial, barely managing to enter the fifth trial.

Now that they had entered the fifth trial, the difficulty increased dramatically, leading to numerous mistakes and consecutive eliminations.

“The true power at the sect level is vastly different from the profound level. Wuzong and Wuzong are martial masters; not everyone can easily reach that level.”

Many sect-level powerhouses from the Dawi Dynasty expressed their feelings in the square, attracting a lot of agreement.

“However, it is already quite remarkable for them to enter the fifth trial of the true meaning of martial arts with profound-level cultivation. For them, this is a valuable experience. It will save them a lot of effort when they step into the Wuzong realm in the future, at least saving several years of hard work.”

“It seems that it won't be long before we see several sect-level geniuses emerging from our Xuan State. At that time, they will surely make a name for themselves throughout the entire Dawi Dynasty.”

“I didn't expect that there would be such an astonishing relic in this land of the five nations; it truly was a worthwhile trip.”

Then, everyone was once again shocked and discussed animatedly.

“It has been so long; why hasn’t Qin Chen been eliminated yet?”

At this moment, a frustrated voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked up to see that only a few martial artists remained in the fifth trial, including Hua Tiandu from the Liuxian Sect, Leng Wushuang, the Young Master of the Emperor's Heart, and of course—Qin Chen!

Moreover, these four people still maintained a perfect state.

“What’s going on? It's been so long in the fifth trial, yet Qin Chen hasn’t made a single mistake?”

“Yeah, it’s normal for those from the Emperor's Heart to maintain perfection. Those three are the three great prodigies of our Xuan State; as long as they are in good condition, it’s not impossible. But that Qin Chen…”

Everyone was baffled and unable to comprehend.

By this time, they were no longer just questioning Qin Chen's origins from such a place as the Five Great Nations, but rather, how a heavenly-level powerhouse could maintain perfection in the face of sect-level true qi control. It was simply an impossible feat.

When a martial artist breaks through from heavenly level to profound level, their internal power transitions from true qi to true power. Moreover, breaking through from profound level to sect level requires an almost miraculous control over true power.

Qin Chen, a heavenly-level martial artist who hadn’t even reached profound level, still possessed true qi within him. How could he control sect-level true power so skillfully? This was fundamentally impossible.

There had to be some issue.
