107: Chapter 107 Overpowering Wang Jinhua in a Second!

"Honey, you are cultivating secret techniques too fast!"

"I'm so envious of your comprehension. By the way, your mental strength should be at Level 43 too, right?"

Bai Shiwei handed the water cup to Fang Zhuo, then used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"More than that."

Fang Zhuo smiled and said.

"Does that mean it's even higher than your Life Level?"

Bai Shiwei was surprised.

Nowadays, she was also nearing the Transcendent level, her Life Level loosening; it could be said that she was only one step away from achieving perfection in Body Control at the Micro-Perception level!

She had also been keeping an eye on the Transcendent realm.

For a Transcendent Martial Artist, increasing mental strength is extremely difficult. Having a level that matches one's Life Level is already considered a sign of extraordinary talent. Those who can exceed it... looking across the entire Blue Moon Federation, they are extremely rare.

"Correct."

Fang Zhuo nodded.

He had also thought about this question from time to time. Could his mental strength being higher than his Life Level be related to having lived two lives?

His soul strength was high, so his mental strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"What is your mental strength level right now?"

"It was still Level 36 when tested yesterday. Recently, it hasn't been increasing much. I don't even know if my mental strength will be able to leap to Level 40 when I promote to Transcendent."

Bai Shiwei was somewhat worried.

Mental strength level is linked to comprehension. If, after the physical body becomes Transcendent, the mental strength fails to become Transcendent, the path ahead becomes difficult to walk.

Such Transcendent Martial Artists are equivalent to someone with a limp among normal people... In the martial arts circle, there is a special title for them, called 'Fake Transcendent'.

"It's fine. If Level 40 for the physical body isn't enough, then go for Level 41, Level 42! With each Life Level leap, it will eventually bring the mental strength up to Level 40."

Fang Zhuo comforted her boldly.

Upon hearing this, a smile that looked worse than crying appeared on Bai Shiwei's exquisite oval face.

"Honey, you make me sound like a medicine jar..."

"Haha, isn't being a medicine jar good? I will support you until you become a Flying Martial Artist!"

Fang Zhuo smiled teasingly.

Bai Shiwei pursed her lips, smiled sweetly, and couldn't help but reveal two shallow dimples.

"Alright, I'm going to practice Body Control. Honey, you go to the Heaven-Reaching Tower. Good luck, break Brother Wang's record!"

Fang Zhuo nodded, strode out of the practice room, and went straight up to the 100th floor of the group.

...

In front of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.

Many group martial artists were practicing.

Nowadays, whether they were newcomers or veterans, basically everyone knew Fang Zhuo. They cast their gazes toward this genius within the group who was quietly becoming the second Wang Jinhua.

"Last time, his clearance score only reached second place on the third floor."

"He's here again. Could it be that he's going to try to break Wang Jinhua's record?"

"Fang Zhuo looks so confident. Could he have really mastered the fifth layer of the Thunder Fire Blade?"

Several A-level geniuses newly signed by the group gathered together and whispered.

Fang Zhuo didn't pay attention. He walked straight to the center, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and focused his mind to enter the 'Heaven-Reaching Tower'.

"Welcome to the 'Heaven-Reaching Tower'. Current Life Level is 43. You can accept the third-floor trial (40-43). Do you wish to start the challenge?"

"Yes."

As soon as the 10 Transcendent Exotic Beasts, the Single-Horned Rhino, appeared in the A-stage and rushed over from various directions.

Fang Zhuo held his blade horizontally and slashed out.

Thunder Fire Blade, fifth layer!

An arc-shaped blade light flashed. These 10 Transcendent Exotic Beasts were instantly pulled and gathered in the center uncontrollably, and then the sound of thunder rang out.

Rumble!

The blade broke through the air, and a cold glint swept across.

All ten Single-Horned Rhinos were slashed in two, and their remains scattered all over the ground.

"Continue!"

An excited smile appeared on Fang Zhuo's face. Just as he had envisioned, this fifth layer of the Thunder Fire Blade had extremely high group-killing efficiency!

In the B-stage, also because the amplification of the fifth layer of the Thunder Fire Blade was higher, his killing power had increased. It only took two consecutive slashes to kill the thick-skinned Level 43 Fire-Maned Bear.

In the C-stage, Fang Zhuo turned into a killing machine. With the fifth layer of the Thunder Fire Blade, he killed one wave with a single slash, and then continuously refreshed the next wave of exotic beasts in advance.

After thirty slashes, the space inside the tower was filled with blade shadows and dull sounds of thunder.

"Cleared the third floor. Time taken: 1 minute 35 seconds."

"Congratulations! You have refreshed the best record for the third floor of the 'Heaven-Reaching Tower'. Reward: 30 hours of usage time for the 'High-Civilization Gravity Chamber'."

"30 hours...!"

Fang Zhuo rubbed his slightly sore arm, a smile appearing on his face.

Compared to the record for breaking the first floor, the reward was 20 hours more.

This reward was quite generous!

After he became a Transcendent Martial Artist, his monthly usage time for the High-Civilization Gravity Chamber had only increased by 4 hours.

That is, 12 hours per month.

Breaking the record for the third floor of the Heaven-Reaching Tower this time was equivalent to giving Fang Zhuo more than two months' worth of quota at once.

"Just right. Nowadays, practicing Life Level without the 'High-Civilization Gravity Chamber' is a bit strenuous."

"With this reward, I can properly push my Life Level."

Fang Zhuo left the Heaven-Reaching Tower with a smile.

Previously, when giving 'stone milk crystal' to Shi Wei, he had eight returned. He gave her two on the spot. Over the past two weeks, he had used one himself, and the group's mining of the C09 Wilderness Area cave had yielded two as dividends.

Currently, he still had seven 'stone milk crystals' on hand.

Among them, the two newly distributed ones could be given to Shi Wei to use first, which meant there were a total of twenty-one!

He wondered if, combined with the 'High-Civilization Gravity Chamber', he could make his Life Level leap another level?

Regarding the phoenix essence blood and the stone milk crystal, Fang Zhuo had used both himself. His physical sensation was that seven 'stone milk crystals' could barely be considered as one drop of phoenix essence blood.

The total amount of source energy contained should also be exceeded, but the quality was slightly inferior, and the purity was also a bit worse.

Twenty-one stone milk crystals could be considered as three drops of phoenix essence blood.

Fang Zhuo felt he had a certain degree of confidence. After all, not long ago, raising his Life Level from 42 to 43 only took two drops of phoenix essence blood. Even though the road to Transcendent becomes harder the further one goes, reaching Level 44 should be about the same.

...

As Fang Zhuo returned to his residence, preparing to give the two new stone milk crystals to Bai Shiwei for her to return,

Inside the group's Supervision Department.

The computer screen at Sister Lan's workstation was scrolling rapidly.

Heaven-Reaching Tower third-floor results:

First place, Fang Zhuo, time taken 1 minute 35 seconds.

Second place, Wang Jinhua, time taken 1 minute 36 seconds.

Third place, Xiao Yan, time taken 3 minutes 29 seconds.

...

Transcendent group combat power ranking:

1, Wang Jinhua, Life Level 49, Body Control at Heaven-Reaching minor achievement, Thunder Fire Blade sixth layer, combat power amplification 120 times (24 * 5.0).

2, Yan Long, Life Level 49, Body Control at Inner Scene Perfection, Clear Wind Blade sixth layer, combat power amplification 100 times (20 * 5.0).

...

18, Fang Zhuo, Life Level 43, Body Control at Inner Scene Perfection, Thunder Fire Blade fifth layer, combat power amplification 84 times (20 * 4.2).

"Wang Jinhua's record was really surpassed by Fang Zhuo... Surpassed by one second!"

Sister Lan looked at the screen and murmured with a dazed expression.

Behind her workstation, the bespectacled man also had a look of shock.

Wang Jinhua was a late bloomer. Ever since he became a Transcendent Martial Artist, he had soared within the group, known for his abnormal comprehension and outstanding combat power.

Even in the Starry Sky Group, where geniuses were as numerous as clouds, he had suppressed a crowd of geniuses, making them unable to lift their heads.

"Fang Zhuo has also entered the top twenty in the Transcendent combat power ranking! He mastered the fifth layer of the Thunder Fire Blade. In the last dozen years, he and Wang Jinhua are the only ones to achieve this at Life Level 43, right?"

Sister Lan didn't bother to answer her colleague, but stood up with a 'whoosh' and strode into the manager's office.

"Manager!"

"I have already seen it."

Manager Jiang Zhou looked at the secretary, who had her mouth wide open in surprise, and smiled: "Fang Zhuo just needs time to settle his Life Level. In terms of combat power amplification alone, he can already rank in the top ten on the group's Transcendent ranking."

Sister Lan nodded repeatedly: "His Martial Aspect... also greatly improves his cultivation. I estimate that within a year or two, he will be another invincible Transcendent, our Supervision Department's own Wang Jinhua!"

"Manager, have you decided where to send him as an Inspection Envoy when the time comes?"
