Chapter 163: A Fight Between Second-Tier Martial Kings!
Whoosh!
Just as Su Xiaobaiâs blade lights swept out one after another, engulfing the grand palace and the black-armored giant, at that very moment, the people outside who were constantly keeping an eye on the 102nd floor ranking of the Illusory Tower burst into a loud uproar!
âSister Yan, look quickly! 102nd floor! Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon reached the 102nd floor!! And heâs ranked first again!!â
Nangong Yixin looked as if she had discovered something earth-shattering, her small face filled with shock and awe.
âHis strength has increased againâŠâ
Zhuo Bingyanâs tone was full of wistful emotion.
â102nd floor!â
Even the usually stoic Cheng Tianqian couldnât help but show emotion.
Clearing the 102nd floor required the power to slay a Primary Martial KingâŠ
This meant that Su Xiaobaiâs strength had already reached a level they couldnât even begin to imagine!
Just how did this Su Xiaobai⊠manage to reach such a ridiculously exaggerated level?!
âŠ
â102nd floor⊠first attempt, cleared in 3 seconds?!â
At the same time, the moment the experts monitoring the Illusory Tower heard about the record change on the 102nd floor, they all revealed astonished expressions!
Clearing the 102nd floor itself wasnât all that surprising.
But doing it in just three secondsâthatâs what truly shocked them!
Most people didnât know this, but those standing at the pinnacle were well awareâŠ
Beyond the hundredth floor of the Illusory Tower, there existed a colossal and impassable watershed: the 207-layer threshold.
Clearing the 100th floor meant you at least had the power equivalent to a Primary Martial King.
Clearing the 101st meant you could defeat a Primary Martial King.
Clearing the 102nd meant you had the power to kill one!
Each floor was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The gaps between them were ones that many people couldnât cross even in a lifetime!
And yet, this Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon cleared the floor in just 3 secondsâŠ
That meant his strength had far surpassed the Primary Martial King levelâhe was already on par with a Second-tier Martial King!
They had once been glorious prodigies and holy sons themselves.
But in the end, very few had made it to the 102nd floorâŠ
Some couldnât even cross it at all!
Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon not only passed it on his first try, but did it in 3 seconds, crushing the entire 102nd floor rankingâthis alone proved how terrifying his potential was!
Once he fully matured, surpassing them would only take a matter of time.
He might even reach realms they themselves could never touch!
In that instant, every top-level figure was shaken.
They immediately issued ordersâ
Though the commands varied, they all had one core message:
At all costs, secure Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon!
âŠ
âHahahahahahaâŠâ
âHeaven bless the human race!!â
Back on Earth, in the Virtual Network monitoring room, Meng Qianzheng couldnât help but burst into heartfelt laughter the moment he received the news from the Virtual Network.
Even the eleven elders of the Council who were watching alongside him showed expressions of shock, horror, delight, and wild joy!
Back when Su Xiaobai cleared the 101st floor, the earthshaking news had already drawn their attention.
A second human genius had appeared, someone who cleared the 101st floorâhow could they not be thrilled?
You must know, the last time humanity had someone like this was hundreds of years ago, when that legendary figure had made history!
After hundreds of years, humanity was finally blessed with another once-in-a-generation peerless genius!
Who would have thought that while they were still talking about the 101st floor, news of him clearing the 102nd floor would come throughâŠ
In an instant, the entire Virtual Network control room exploded into chaos!
The 102nd floor!!
Even in the vast and boundless Vast Domain, those who could reach the 102nd floor were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
Only the top-tier among the top-tier holy sons could achieve such a feat!
For humanityâa small race that didnât even qualify to enter the âTen Thousand Clans Rankingâ in the Vast Domainâ to give birth to such a transcendent, peerlessly talented individualâŠ
How could they not be overjoyed?
In fact, before today, all eleven elders of the council held some prejudice against Su Xiaobai.
The case of the 3,500 residency approvals had been a radical decision made by Meng Qianzheng with a firm stanceâŠ
If he hadnât fought with solid arguments and bargained with all his might, how could they possibly have approved such an outrageous number?
But facts proved that Meng Qianzhengâs judgment was sharp and unparalleled!
It was precisely thanks to his determination that Base No.1 retained Su Xiaobaiâ allowing them the fortune to witness the rise of a monstrous genius, one who surpassed legends!
âSculpted Moon Azure DragonâŠâ
But just as Meng Qianzheng and the elders were celebrating joyfully, no one noticed that among them in the control room, a demi-god-level Martial Commanderâs eyes flashed with a cold, killing intent!
If one looked closely, they would even see a streak of dark golden light pass through his eyes!
âŠ
â102nd floor, cleared!â
âYouâve received 120,000 cultivation points as a reward!â
âYou may now choose one transcendent-grade cultivation technique!â
The Virtual Networkâs notification sounded.
A technique selection panel popped up.
Su Xiaobai quickly browsed through it.
In the end, his gaze locked onto an transcendent-grade blood-qi techniqueâ
[True Art of Burning Blood Fury]!
According to the description, this blood-qi technique was far purer than the [72 Forms of Blood Qi].
It didnât have any fancy blood-qi moves.
Nor did it contain any flashy attack techniques.
Only one thingâby burning blood qi, it gave the user an unparalleled burst of power and a full stat boost!
This was a purer blood-burning secret art.
It wouldnât be an exaggeration to say that even a Martial King might not be able to withstand the blood-burning speed of this True Art of Burning Blood FuryâŠ
Once used, it meant going all inâa true fight to the death!
But precisely because of this, it was enough to stir Su Xiaobaiâs heart.
âI wonder which is faster⊠the recovery rate of a king-level recovery art, or the burn rate of this transcendent-grade technique?â
Su Xiaobaiâs lips curled into a grin.
He immediately began reading the [True Art of Burning Blood Fury].
A moment laterâŠ
âDing! [True Art of Burning Blood Fury] has reached the highest level!â
Another burst of profound, esoteric information surged through his mind.
âBurn Blood!â
Boom!!!!
The moment Su Xiaobai activated the True Art of Burning Blood Fury, an overwhelming torrent of blood qi burst from his body!
The berserk, vicious energy soared straight into the skyâstretching a thousand meters tall!
Su Xiaobaiâs entire body was enveloped in blood qi mist, his eyes turning into demonic âblood pupilsâ full of merciless coldness!
In that moment, Su Xiaobai looked like a being who had walked out from the hells of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Just one glance at him from afar was enough to chill oneâs soul!
âVirtual Network, next floor!â
Su Xiaobaiâs voice was icy, devoid of emotion.
As soon as the words fell, the scene of the 103rd floor appeared.
Day turned to night.
Deserts turned into oceans.
A man carrying a crescent-shaped weapon stood on the waterâs surface, coldly gazing at Su Xiaobai.
There was no aura coming from his body.
Not even a trace of life force could be sensedâ as if he didnât exist at allâŠ
Even with Su Xiaobaiâs enhanced spatial awareness from the burst of blood qi, he could only barely detect a faint trace of Second-tier Martial King-level aura!
Whoosh!
A dense black mist suddenly erupted from the manâs bodyâŠ
A dark-element technique!
Su Xiaobaiâs lips curled again, his blood pupils brimming with violent intentâhe swung his blade directly!
A battle between Second-tier Martial Kingsâ was about to erupt!
