189: Tower Break

“Let’s go!”

Shen Xi glanced at his companions.

The group stepped into the Tower of the Heavens.

It wasn’t until their figures disappeared that the people present began to move.

“Don’t fight me for it, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”

“The first batch of one hundred spots belongs to me!”

“All of you, get out of my way!”

“If you’re not convinced, then let’s fight.”

The sounds of fighting, scrambling, and threats were constant.

Everyone fought and pushed their way into the Tower of the Heavens entrance.

It wasn’t until the one hundred spots were filled and the entrance temporarily closed that the battle temporarily concluded.

The crowd stopped fighting and each found a place to heal their injuries.

When someone failed the Tower challenge and was sent out, the Tower of the Heavens would open again, and another battle was sure to ensue.

However, this no longer concerned Shen Xi.

After entering the Tower of the Heavens, Shen Xi separated from Liu Yiyi and the others.

The interior of the Tower of the Heavens was an independent space; everyone could only challenge the Tower alone, relying on their own abilities.

Even if Shen Xi wanted to help, he couldn't.

Carefully observing his surroundings, Shen Xi even directly released Origin Qi, sensing his environment. It was a vast, empty wilderness, with no signs of any life activity.

“The First Level of the Tower of the Heavens is like this? How can I reach the Second Level?”

Shen Xi asked, somewhat puzzled.

The next second.

An earth-shaking tremor occurred.

The Tower of the Heavens seemed to have a consciousness of its own, hearing Shen Xi’s words and beginning the Tower challenge.

Shadows appeared around Shen Xi.

These shadows had indistinct features, indistinguishable gender, as if shadows had materialized, almost identical.

The only way to differentiate them was by the weapons in their hands.

Some held long swords, some wielded long sabers, and others used long spears.

Blades, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks… these shadows used various weapons, representing different Cultivate systems of Martial Artist.

“Defeat these shadows within ten minutes to proceed to the Second Level.”

A mechanical voice announced the requirement for passing the First Level of the Tower of the Heavens.

As the voice fell, the shadows immediately moved.

Various weapons simultaneously struck at Shen Xi.

“The First Level doesn’t seem to have any difficulty.”

Shen Xi immediately judged the shadows' combat power; the Yuan Qi Transformation Realm was no threat at all.

The First Level was no different from a beginner’s village.

Of course, if Shen Xi’s words reached outside the Tower of the Heavens, many people would surely feel indignant.

A large number of Yuan Qi Transformation Realm opponents—you call this a beginner’s village?

However, more than half of the Martial Artist who entered the Chasing Wind Secret Realm were only at the Yuánqì Realm.

Even the First Level, they couldn't pass.

A beginner’s village was only relative to Shen Xi.

“One Sword Eight Desolations!”

Shen Xi gripped his Qingying Sword and unleashed a strike.

The next second, the shadows instantly dissipated, and the stairs leading to the Second Level appeared before Shen Xi.

The Second Level was exactly the same.

Again, a large number of shadows appeared.

The only difference was that the strength of these shadows had reached the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm.

However, for Shen Xi, it was still not difficult.

With another single sword strike, the shadows were all destroyed, and the stairs to the Third Level appeared.

The Third Level.

The Fourth Level.

The Fifth Level.

Shen Xi advanced rapidly, directly challenging up to the Sixth Level… Outside the Tower of the Heavens.

The Martial Artist recovered their Origin Qi while staring intently at the Tower to the Heavens Stone Tablet.

“Hiss! There are too many strong individuals this time; in such a short time, someone has already reached the Fifth Level.”

“Isn’t this normal? Don’t forget, this time there’s a Shen Xi. With his strength, the first six levels can’t stop him at all.”

“Holy moly, just as I mentioned Shen Xi, he’s already at the Sixth Level? No, the Seventh Level!”

“Is this guy a monster?! The Sixth Level is already at the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm, and he can still pass so quickly?”

“He’s someone who killed an Early Stage of the Acquired Realm expert!”

Everyone watched Shen Xi’s name rapidly ascend from the bottom of the stone tablet representing the First Level of the Tower of the Heavens, finally appearing at the position representing the Seventh Level, all of them gasping in shock and screaming.

How much time had passed?

Ten minutes?

Or twenty minutes?

Shen Xi was already at the Seventh Level?

This level of strength, could it be any more outrageous!

One must know that in previous Chasing Wind Secret Realm, the best record was only reaching the Ninth Level, and that person had to struggle and fight desperately, barely passing the Eighth Level to reach the Ninth Level.

But Shen Xi, on the other hand, made it seem as easy as eating and drinking. How could anyone argue with that?

It truly was a case of comparing people to people, and goods to goods.

“Someone’s coming out!”

Just then, someone with sharp eyes noticed that the entrance to the Tower of the Heavens had opened.

Liu Linsheng walked out, looking dejected.

He was originally only at the Yuan Qi Transformation Realm. Although he had a fortuitous encounter during this period, he had only Broken through to the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm.

Logically speaking, he wouldn’t have been among the first batch to enter the Tower of the Heavens; it was entirely because of Shen Xi that he was among the first.

After entering, Liu Linsheng felt pressure even on the First Level.

Facing a large number of Yuan Qi Transformation Realm shadows, he barely managed to pass the First Level just before the ten-minute countdown ended.

And upon reaching the Second Level, he had no ability to resist and could only give up and leave the Tower of the Heavens.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Linsheng felt dejected.

For the first time, he had such a clear understanding of his own strength, only being able to pass one level of the Tower of the Heavens.

Of course, this was also because the combat power of the people Liu Linsheng interacted with was too terrifying. Whether it was Shen Xi or Liu Yiyi, they were all prodigies, leading him to set his expectations too high for himself.

One must know that even those who could pass the First Level of the Tower of the Heavens had combat power that ranked among the top in the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, at least surpassing more than fifty percent of the people.

“Don’t rush, make way first!”

“Let him leave first.”

“Exactly, don’t bring bad luck.”

“After he leaves, we’ll compete for the spots to enter the Tower of the Heavens.”

The crowd didn’t care about Liu Linsheng’s dejection.

Their gaze remained fixed on the entrance to the Tower of the Heavens, which had finally reopened.

If it were in the past, a group of people would undoubtedly have eagerly made their moves, wanting to contend for the newly available spot.

But this time, it was completely different.

No one dared to act rashly.

The reason was simple: because of Liu Linsheng, or rather, because of Shen Xi behind Liu Linsheng.

Liu Linsheng was only at the Initial Stage of Acquired Realm. If these Innate-level powerhouses truly started fighting, even the aftershocks could severely injure him.

If any accident were to happen, wouldn’t that offend Shen Xi and be a death wish?

Let Liu Linsheng move away from the battle zone first.
