"The state-defending general can’t say that, it’s not necessarily only Xu Ping’an who discovered it; others might have as well, and they possibly disdain to do so," Martial King said with a smile.
He was arguing against what the state-defending general had said.
Many people in the audience nodded in agreent—they hadn’t found it, but that didn’t an Song Kaitian, Long Zhan, Yu Chenglin and others couldn’t have found it.
"Hmph, I admit they may have discovered it, but the fact that they disdain even to absorb it says sothing. It ans they refuse to absorb it out of concern for their own dignity. They are too proud to do so; they do not lack resources. But where did their resources co from in the first place, if not acquired by their forebears? In my view, they are even worse than those who didn’t discover it," the state-defending general snorted dismissively.
There was a stir among the audience.
In that mont, everyone was shocked.
No one expected the state-defending general to say such a thing.
And among those he was talking about, his own grandson was included.
Wasn’t this the sa as the state-defending general scolding his own grandson?
In fact, the state-defending general was indeed sowhat angry at that mont; his grandson had ultimately grown up under their protection after all.
He lacked a certain wildness, while Xu Ping’an obviously grew up relying on himself. Such a person, once grown, would have limitless potential for the future.
"I actually think the state-defending general is being sowhat fallacious. If there are resources, why not use them? The territory we conquer and the resources we obtain—it’s only normal for descendants to enjoy them. You should know this is a glory, not a sha," Martial King chuckled in response.
The state-defending general gave him a sidelong glance, too lazy to bother with him anymore.
What he had said was not at all what Martial King was insinuating.
Martial King was simply twisting his words.
"Look quickly, Song Kaitian has reached the thirty-sixth floor, wow, so strong," soone exclaid in astonishnt.
Everyone turned their gaze toward the thirty-sixth floor.
At that mont, Song Kaitian was indeed powerful, wielding a long blade, his slash cutting through the sky, the Blade Gang leaving no demon beast unslain in its wake.
Clad in Qingyi and wielding a long blade, Song Kaitian was like a god of swords.
Wherever he went, there lay only fragnted corpses.
"Long Zhan is also very strong, having reached the thirty-fifth floor. It seems that this year, he’s not the only one to break past records," soone remarked in surprise.
"Yes, the Sixth Prince is also very formidable, having made it to the thirty-fifth floor as well, and so is Yu Chenglin, who is nearly through with the thirty-fourth floor."
"Look, Tang Qingyu from Shangxian Sect is also strong. She’s actually at the Seventh Layer of the Fifth Rank Realm and has also entered the thirty-fourth floor. There are too many strong contenders in this generation."
"Indeed, Li Daoming just passed the thirty-first layer, and Yu Chengshan as well as Li Fuchen have both reached the thirtieth layer. It seems that this year we will have the most geniuses reaching beyond the thirtieth layer, probably around ten of them," another stated.
The crowd continued their discussions.
All were amazed.
These geniuses, once they displayed their formidable strength, showed off their heaven-defying talents.
It seed as if these prodigies were competing, seeing who could reach higher floors faster.
"Do you think Xu Ping’an will be able to reach the thirtieth floor?" soone suddenly asked.
"Unlikely. The thirtieth floor is a hurdle; reaching it ans possessing the strength of a normal cultivator at the First Layer of the Sixth Rank," soone replied.
The others nodded in agreent.
A hundred demon beasts at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Fifth Rank, and moreover, powerful Dragon Rock Beasts, which with dragon bloodline, were very formidable.
Killing a hundred Dragon Rock Beasts definitely signifies having the strength of a normal Sixth Rank cultivator.
For these geniuses at the Sixth and Seventh Layer of the Fifth Rank to have co this far was already defying the heavens.
But what about Xu Ping’an’s cultivation? Just the Ninth Layer of the Fourth Rank, and only just entered, could he possibly make it to the thirtieth floor?
How could that be?
The person who raised the question also chuckled self-deprecatingly, wondering why he had asked sothing so foolish.
"Hey, look quickly, that woman is so strong, she actually passed the thirtieth floor," soone suddenly exclaid in surprise at that mont.
All of them turned to look toward the scene the person was pointing to.
In the picture, an extrely ordinary-looking woman, wielding a long sword, moved through the demon beasts as if strolling in an uninhabited territory. With each swing of her sword, she slew three or four demon beasts at the peak of the Fifth Rank Ninth Layer Realm.
"So strong, it seems not weaker than Song Kaitian and the others. Is this person from the Five Elents Sect?" soone exclaid in surprise.
The Five Elents Sect was also astonished.
"Since when was Du Juan so powerful? This strength is sowhat outrageous, isn’t it? Fifth Rank First Layer Realm? Killing Fifth Rank Ninth Layer pinnacle Longyan beasts with one sword strike three or four at a ti?" An elder of the Five Elents Sect said in shock.
The sect master of the Five Elents Sect was silent, his gaze inevitably turning in the direction of the Crown Prince.
His heart was filled with complexities. Where had the Crown Prince found such a monster?
Could it be the Crown Prince had been cultivating him in secret?
But why conceal his identity and pretend to be Du Juan from their sect to enter the battle?
The Crown Prince, watching on the side, seed not overly surprised.
Shangguan Lingyu was the direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor. Even with her realm suppressed, she was still an unrivaled genius.
"Eh, another one?" Another person cried out in astonishnt.
Everyone turned to look at the thirtieth layer.
At that mont, a woman in a red dress, holding a sharp sword and with the cry of a phoenix filling the sky, each sword stroke released an extrely terrifying Flaming Sword Aura.
However, she wasn’t as relaxed as Du Juan before, but she could also kill these demon beasts.
It seed that completing this thirtieth layer shouldn’t be difficult, though certainly it would co at a cost.
"This person seems to be nad Li Qingyi, sa as Xu Ping’an. Both co from the sa sect. It’s said they are from the Beichen Sword Sect, and their sect master is apparently a Sixth Rank First Layer." soone said.
"Sixth Rank First Layer? That’s a second-rate sect. A second-rate sect actually managing to cultivate two geniuses is utterly inconceivable."
Everyone was filled with emotion.
Indeed, for a second-rate sect to produce even one exceptional genius was not easy.
But the Beichen Sword Sect had produced two, and even the people on the high platforms were sowhat taken aback at this mont.
Luo Ling paid no attention to the others; her eyes were fixed only on Xu Ping’an.
At this mont, she was almost crying.
Because another two hours were about to pass, and Xu Ping’an had once again begun his slaughter.
Even without the shield he had used in the first fight, he killed all these demon beasts completely.
He even tore apart a Black Violent Bear with his bare hands, a ferocious scene that simply made one shudder.
So, very quickly, Xu Ping’an entered the Ninth Layer.
Then, he was chased again.
This ti, Luo Ling completely despaired.
Huang Yu, standing beside her, was incredibly embarrassed; just as he was about to speak, Luo Ling gave him a direct, dismissive glance.
Better not to speak, I won’t believe anything you say.
"Brother Huang should worry about himself. I think you’re not going to keep your top fifty ranking," Luo Ling said.
Huang Yu was startled, looking at his own ranking, which was now at the fiftieth place.
And the people below had almost all settled into their places.
The only one who had a chance to rise up was Xu Ping’an.
Could Xu Ping’an surpass him?
Impossible, right?
To surpass him, he’d have to at least break through to the sixteenth layer.
Not very likely, right?
Luo Ling, however, said no more.
Could Xu Ping’an get past the sixteenth layer?
Perhaps it was indeed possible.
