Chapter 776: Chapter 336: Nine-Level Divine Tower

Second Senior Brother was silent for a moment, his eyes fixedly staring at Xu Ran in the mirror before slowly speaking. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"This newcomer is stronger than me!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Soul Bodies present were stunned.

It is known that the Dao Field has existed since ancient times, during that era, heroes gathered, countless talents emerged, and innumerable new schools were established.

Under such circumstances, the selection rules of the Dao Field still favored the strongest of that generation.

Second Senior Brother was the most powerful prodigy of that time, successfully overpowering contemporary prodigies, possessing the powerful foundation from when the heavens and the earth first opened, and having an unparalleled Special Constitution.

All these conditions combined allowed him to be the first to successfully pass the trial of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower.

If it weren’t for the later emergence of First Senior Brother, who successfully usurped the position from him, he would be the First Senior Brother now.

That is precisely why in the vast Origin Realm, Second Senior Brother acknowledges only one person, and that is the current First Senior Brother; besides him, no one else receives his praise.

Not to mention praise, there’s hardly even a chance for him to say anything nice.

All the Soul Bodies present knew Second Senior Brother’s character, which is why they were so astonished by his words.

Always proud, only acknowledging First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother actually admitted to being inferior to the newcomer!!

"Second Senior Brother, this doesn’t seem like your style?! How could you say such a thing?"

Little Junior Sister stared incredulously at Second Senior Brother, although the two always bickered, she never really wanted to acknowledge his position as Second Senior Brother.

But she also knew how powerful Second Senior Brother truly was.

"There’s nothing bad about admitting this!" Second Senior Brother continued, "When I underwent the trial back then, I also discovered this method and used it to pass several trials."

"However, discovering this issue in the first stage alone and daring to implement it so boldly shows a strong mindset, coupled with the assistance of the Great Success of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body; saying this isn’t really elevating him!"

And there is one crucial point he didn’t mention.

The current Xu Ran is merely a less than two-year-old infant, once he successfully passes the trial, already possessing the Great Success of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, who knows what benefits he’ll acquire!!

Such benefits can instantly erase the shortcomings of his short cultivation years.

"First Senior Brother, what do you think?" Little Junior Sister turned again to the Soul Body sitting in the center and asked.

Similarly silent for a moment, the voice that could freeze time resounded once more.

"This newcomer’s talent is unrivaled, even by me!"

The icy voice echoed in the Dueling Arena, the cold chill instantly making all the Soul Bodies present feel frozen, with a faint layer of frost appearing around their bodies in various colors at this moment.

This shows that Xu Ran’s action surprised even him, who is referred to as First Senior Brother.

"Whew!" Second Senior Brother took a deep breath upon hearing his words, seeming to gain a strong motivator, slowly saying.

"Since you’ve said this, then I’ll say it!"

After a moment of contemplation, Second Senior Brother continued speaking.

"When you underwent the trial back then, only I was watching; you also discovered this method in the first stage, but at that time, you were much older than him."

"Moreover, your knowledge was far higher than this newcomer’s, so indeed, his talent is exceptionally strong."

Second Senior Brother’s gaze stayed fixed on Xu Ran in the mirror.

"Additionally, he possesses the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, something you cannot compare to."

"Not only that, inside him, there is also a sealed..."

At this point, Second Senior Brother abruptly stopped, not saying more. Clearly, what Xu Ran has within him is something First Senior Brother also lacks, and that is why he admits his talent is inferior.

However, besides First Senior Brother, no one else caught the underlying meaning of these words, not even Little Junior Sister.

"What is it? Don’t speak only halfway!"

Little Junior Sister threw a series of questions, persistently asking Second Senior Brother.

"You, a dedicated Soul Cultivator, can’t find the answers yourself?" Second Senior Brother did not directly answer Little Junior Sister’s question, instead asked her to find answers on her own.

"Humph!" Little Junior Sister pouted and said, "Find them myself then!"

After speaking, her gaze stayed fixed on Xu Ran in the mirror; however, aside from that, she made no moves, and her prideful Soul Power did not emanate outward.

Because, until the trial ends, no external force can influence the person undergoing the trial.

...

Meanwhile.

On the White Jade Stairs.

While the Soul Bodies in the Dueling Arena continued discussing, Xu Ran was already step by step advancing toward the two-hundredth layer of the White Jade Stairs.

After breaking through the bodily limits, the subsequent White Jade Stairs were like walking on flat ground for him, presenting no resistance whatsoever.

Before long, he arrived at the one hundred ninety-ninth layer of the stairs.

The mysterious person, seeing Xu Ran arrive at the one hundred ninety-ninth layer, instantly brightened, his eyes unable to hide their anticipation.

"Xu Ran, on this two-hundredth layer, you must stabilize and don’t rush; the pressure is not of the same magnitude compared to the hundredth layer!"

At this moment, the mysterious person still believed that Xu Ran wanted to successfully step onto the two-hundredth layer of the White Jade Stairs, just like the hundredth layer, requiring Xu Ran to spend a significant amount of time.
