177: Strong opening

He arrived near the Tower of the Heavens.

As expected, a large number of Martial Artists had already gathered there.

Looking around, there were at least five or six thousand people.

This made Shen Xi quite emotional.

The number of Martial Artists entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm this time was simply too high, and naturally, not a small number of Martial Artists had managed to reach the First Zone.

Conservatively estimated, at least ten thousand people would arrive here.

Just thinking about it made Shen Xi secretly click his tongue.

These ten thousand people were not ordinary individuals; the weakest among them were Yuánqì Realm, considered young talents in the outside world.

But now, in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, there were tens of thousands of such young talents, which showed how astonishing it was.

The dozens of cities near Zhu Feng City, plus many Secluded Factions, had probably sent their descendants, and there were also many Loose Cultivators.

“So many people!”

“I guessed there would be a lot of people, but I didn’t expect there to be so many!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, we can only see the tip of the Tower of the Heavens; we can’t even get close to its base.”

Chen Fang and the others couldn't help but exclaim with emotion.

The sheer number of people left even them dumbfounded.

“In the world of Martial Artists, it’s the Law of the jungle. If you want to enter the Tower of the Heavens early, you can only speak with absolute strength,” Shen Xi said calmly.

This was the basic Law of the Martial Artist world.

The Martial Artist world didn't care how noble your character was or how outstanding your integrity; they only cared about how hard your fist was.

As he spoke, Shen Xi released a powerful force, pushing aside the Martial Artists in front of him, forcefully clearing a path.

“Who is it?”

“What the hell, who’s pushing me?!”

“Are you looking for death?!”

“Am I giving you too much face?!”

A chorus of curses filled the air. Those Martial Artists who were forcefully separated couldn't help but start swearing.

Some of the more hot-tempered ones even directly pulled out their weapons, ready to fight.

But the next second, they fell silent.

They felt Shen Xi’s terrifying power.

On this young man, they had a feeling of being unable to resist or match him.

This made them dare not shout anymore, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Just like that, Shen Xi led everyone forward smoothly.

However, the closer they got to the Tower of the Heavens, the more powerful people they encountered.

Upon reaching a hundred meters from the Tower of the Heavens, the surrounding Martial Artists were all of Later Heaven Transformation Realm level combat power.

These people naturally showed a hint of dissatisfaction when faced with Shen Xi’s forceful advance.

One burly man even bristled his eyebrows, glaring fiercely at Shen Xi.

Not only that, the burly man let out a cold snort, and his Later Heaven Transformation Realm level Qi surged towards Shen Xi.

However, very quickly, the burly man’s expression changed drastically.

He found that his Qi was dispersed by an invisible force before it could even get close to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to advance on his own.

This feeling was exactly the same as the feeling those people within fifty meters of the Tower of the Heavens gave him.

And those people were all of Innate level combat power.

Realizing this, the burly man's face turned pale. He subconsciously retreated, fearing to incur Shen Xi's wrath.

However, Shen Xi didn't even look at him, still moving forward all the way.

Seeing this, the burly man finally let out a sigh of relief, still feeling lingering fear.

It was a good thing Shen Xi hadn't sought trouble with him, otherwise, with the other party's strength, killing him would be no different from slaughtering pigs and dogs.

Especially when he remembered how those Innate level combat power experts had also forcefully cleared a path and rushed forward like Shen Xi, and some people, not knowing better, had tried to test their strength.

As a result, they were unlucky and encountered a short-tempered individual.

Simply because someone had tested him, that expert killed the person who tested him on the spot.

The more the burly man thought about it, the more scared he became. If Shen Xi were to do the same, his life would be over.

He could only be thankful that the person he provoked had a relatively good temper!

This was the reality of the Martial Artist world.

If Shen Xi’s strength was insufficient, forcing his way through like this would absolutely lead to certain death.

But once Shen Xi was strong enough, those who questioned him and challenged him would instead have to worry about their own safety.

Strength was everything, and a bigger fist was the ultimate truth.

They arrived within the fifty-meter range.

The pressure Shen Xi had to face increased once again.

Within the fifty-meter range was the exclusive area for Innate level combat power.

As Shen Xi stepped into the fifty-meter range, many people cast questioning glances at him.

But after sensing the Qi emanating from Shen Xi, those doubts disappeared, replaced by a much friendlier demeanor.

After all, no one wanted to make enemies for no reason.

“Brother, please stop.”

A young man blocked Shen Xi’s path.

The other party’s attitude was good, so Shen Xi naturally wouldn’t act high and mighty in response, politely replying, “Is there something you need?”

“With Brother’s strength, entering the fifty-meter range is naturally not a problem. However, there are rules here at the Tower of the Heavens. Those who reach a certain level of strength can enter the fifty-meter range and bring one friend. But others can only obediently stay outside the fifty-meter range.”

The young man explained.

Hearing this, Shen Xi nodded thoughtfully.

What the other party said made sense.

Firstly, everyone within the fifty-meter range was an Innate level combat power expert, and everyone hoped to pass through the Tower of the Heavens smoothly, not wishing to cause unnecessary conflicts.

Secondly, without rules, there would be no order. Everyone present was not a lone wolf; they all had friends to some extent.

If everyone, like Shen Xi, relied on their powerful strength to forcefully bring a group of friends into the fifty-meter range, wouldn't it become overcrowded here?

An Innate level combat power expert bringing one friend was reasonable.

“This is already a tacit understanding among everyone, a hidden rule. No one can break it rashly, otherwise it will cause everyone to attack en masse,” the young man reminded again.

After speaking, he gave Liu Yiyi and the others a meaningful look.

His meaning was already self-evident.

In his opinion, the others certainly did not have Innate level combat power, which meant Shen Xi could only choose one person to enter the fifty-meter range with him.

As for the others, they could only retreat.

And fifty meters was a boundary.

The number of people allowed to enter the Tower of the Heavens each time was limited; only when someone failed a challenge and withdrew could new people fill in. And those within the fifty-meter range had a high probability of being among the first to enter the Tower of the Heavens.

Because of this, these experts would stick to the fifty-meter range, limiting the number of people, not allowing too many to enter, thus preventing themselves from being unable to be among the first to enter.
