50: I can achieve what I have today, all thanks to myself.

The power of lightning and fire seized the opportunity to enter, continuously destroying his muscle tissue, strangling his body organs, and obliterating all his vitality.

A moment later.

Chu Jiang's Blood Sea Boundless dissipated as his true essence was exhausted, and he gasped for breath, almost fainting from exhaustion. The Dragon-Serpent Earth Demon also had a weakened Aura under the attack of Blood Sea Boundless.

“human race kid, to be able to fight me to this extent, you are very good,” the Dragon-Serpent Earth Demon said, word by word.

“He’s still not dead!” Chu Jiang’s face changed. The Dragon-Serpent Earth Demon’s defense was truly astonishing. He had used all his strength, but could only heavily injure him.

Demons that successfully underwent Fusion possessed extraordinary combat power. No wonder Earth Fiend Hall went around capturing people for live experiments, not even letting go of Ghost Moon, who had been dead for hundreds of years.

I’ll risk it!

It had come to this point; if he didn’t kill him, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?

Chu Jiang’s Physical Body began to boil, began to surge, and his Qi and blood rapidly evaporated.

He was clearly burning his vital blood to forcefully maintain Blood Sea Boundless.

The burning of vital blood caused Chu Jiang’s Aura to surge again, but his skin also began to crack, revealing the bones and flesh beneath, his Physical Body on the verge of collapse.

Blood Blade Divine Manual, Eighth Form — Blood Fiend Seven Absolutes!

“Slash!” Chu Jiang roared, unleashing a desperate strike. The Blood Fiend Seven Absolutes carried a hint of Saber Intent, as if it could annihilate everything.

Pfft… pfft…

Blood mist continuously condensed, and Saber Qi ceaselessly strangled.

The Dragon-Serpent Earth Demon’s Aura dropped to freezing point, his entire body a bloody mess.

At the last moment of his Lifespan, he flicked his sharp tailbone, which actually detached directly and slammed towards Chu Jiang at an extremely fast speed.

Bang!

Chu Jiang was in an extremely poor state at this moment, and was sent flying a hundred meters away by the blow.

“This venerable one’s last battle in life was so exhilarating, it was worth it!”

“Hahaha!” The Dragon-Serpent Earth Demon let out a wild laugh, revealing a sense of relief, and then his body became illusory until it completely disappeared.

【Dragon-Serpent Earth Demon, Fiend Grade mutated Demon, guarded the sixth floor for one hundred and twenty years. You are the first person to kill him, gaining thirty wisps of Demon Remnant Soul】

Chu Jiang fell back more than ten steps, landing on the sixth floor. His Physical Body was covered in cracks, and his Wind and Thunder Vajra Body automatically activated, recovering at an astonishing speed.

...

Outside the Demon Suppression Tower.

Demon Suppression Guards successively walked out of the Demon Suppression Tower, some sighing, some beaming with joy, some calm and unperturbed, various emotions filled the faces of the Demon Suppression Guards.

Several Qianhus were chatting with each other. This time, there were more D-grade Geniuses selected than in previous years, a total of twelve, which could be considered a gratifying achievement.

However, not a single C-grade Genius appeared.

Even Situ Lei, on whom Sun Commander had placed high hopes, only passed the third floor and failed on the fourth, missing out on being a C-grade Genius.

However, it wasn't without good news.

At this moment, the fifth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower was glowing with white light. This meant that someone had already passed the fifth floor and was charging towards the sixth floor.

At least C-grade, most likely B-grade.

“Shen Commander, you’ve really found a good seedling this time. A B-grade Genius is guaranteed.” Sun Commander’s face was slightly green at this moment. The person he favored didn’t even manage to secure a C-grade Genius, which made him lose some face.

“Sun Commander, you flatter me. Whether she can pass the sixth floor is still uncertain. It’s not too late to celebrate when the sixth floor lights up,” Shen Commander said.

If Fu Yunxuan passed the sixth floor and was rated as a B-grade Genius, at the very least, Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division this time would not be criticized.

They would also be able to hold their heads high among the Demon Suppression Divisions in neighboring provinces.

...

Demon Suppression Tower, Sixth Floor.

After Chu Jiang briefly adjusted his breath.

His dried-up Qi and blood had now replenished by one or two tenths, and his Physical Body was continuously absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to continue producing blood.

Many of his cracked skin had already begun to heal.

This was the abnormal extent of the Wind and Thunder Vajra Body entering the Transcendent realm. As long as he wasn’t dead, given enough time, he could recover as before.

This was also his capital for risking his life.

Chu Jiang sat quietly, adjusting his breath, wondering where the Demon Suppression Tower got its heaven and earth energy from, which was actually much higher in concentration than the outside world.

It couldn’t be wasted.

A quarter of an hour later, Chu Jiang opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

His body had recovered by more than half.

He looked towards the seventh floor and walked straight up.

No matter what the seventh floor held, whether it was a Fiend Grade Great Demon or something else, he had to see it.

If the seventh floor still presented a Fiend Grade Great Demon, he would immediately withdraw.

With his current strength, he needed to risk his life to barely kill a Fiend Grade Great Demon. If the seventh floor was still a Fiend Grade Great Demon, it would definitely be stronger than the sixth floor.

Even if he recovered to his Peak, it would be futile.

Seventh Floor.

There were no Demons here. The walls were covered with dense text, and next to the text were huge fist prints.

“Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist!” At this moment, the Demon Suppression Tower emitted a loud voice.

“Within three hours, Cultivate this fist technique to the 入門 (Entry) level, and you will pass the challenge. Only by using this fist technique can you open the door to the next floor.”

After Chu Jiang listened, he looked at the large characters on the wall.

It seemed this level was a test of Comprehension Ability. This was normal. If it were still Demons, with each floor increasing in difficulty, the last floor would require fighting a Martial Dao Great Grandmaster, which was impossible to imagine.

Ten minutes later, Chu Jiang had completely engraved this fist technique in his mind.

As for Cultivating it, that was impossible.

He would directly use the panel for deduction. If he had to rely on his own Comprehension Ability to Cultivate, let alone one hour, he probably wouldn't be able to reach the Entry level in a year.

【Innate Martial Art · Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist (Not 入門 (Entry))】

...

【Demon Lifespan: Two hundred and sixty-five years】

“Fifty-five wisps of Demon Remnant Soul found. Convert to Demon Lifespan?”

Chu Jiang clicked confirm without hesitation.

The fifty-five wisps of Demon Remnant Soul were instantly absorbed by the panel. The panel scrolled, and the balance of Demon Lifespan rapidly surged.

【Demon Lifespan: Eight hundred and fifteen years】

Chu Jiang was in a great mood seeing his Demon Lifespan greatly increase. This trip was not in vain.

My current Cultivation is entirely due to my own desperate efforts and struggles.

“Panel, begin martial art deduction!”

【Year one, you began to Cultivate Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist. Because you had previously Cultivated a similar martial art, Great Strength Vajra Palm, the two have a similar profoundness, and your Cultivation is extremely fast】

【Year two, your Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist reaches the Entry level】

【Year three, your Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist reaches Minor Achievement】

【Year five, your Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist reaches Major Achievement】

【Year nine, your Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist reaches Perfection】

【Year fifteen, your Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist reaches Transcendent】

Chu Jiang opened his eyes. All the techniques of the Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist had been completely mastered by him. Even those who had painstakingly studied it for decades probably weren’t as proficient in this martial art as he was.

This Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist was somewhat similar to the Zhen Mo Blade Technique, but its power was much greater than the Zhen Mo Blade Technique. It was a top-tier Innate fist technique.

“What should I do? There’s still some time before three hours are up.”

Chu Jiang pondered in his heart. He wanted to display his strength, but if he far exceeded the normal person’s standard, he didn’t know what consequences it would cause.

The Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division hadn’t seen an A-grade Genius in a hundred years, which showed how difficult the seventh and eighth floors were. Even reaching the Entry level in three hours.

That would already make him a Genius in ten thousand.

But he, in less than a moment, had directly Cultivated it to the Transcendent realm.

Someone more Genius than a Genius is called a Prodigy and would be 重点培养 ( 重點培養), while someone more Prodigy than a Prodigy is no longer Human and would likely be captured for research.

Chu Jiang decided it was safer to wait until close to three hours before opening the door. To ensure he received sufficient attention without being treated as a freak.

He would use the Major Achievement level of skill.

Cultivating the Great Strength Demon Suppression Fist to Major Achievement in three hours, he should be considered a peerless Genius in a hundred thousand, right?
