Chapter 607: Chapter 607: Straight to the 9th Floor, Shocking the Audience!

The crowd was astonished.

This guy actually dared to boast so outrageously, claiming he would obtain the Heavenly Grade Supreme Martial Technique?

Even Feng Hen had only managed to get through the sixth level.

Where did he get this confidence?

"A kid at the Late Transcendent Realm?"

"Any talented genius would have already advanced to the Transcendent Realm Peak by now; does he really think he can challenge the Linglong Tower?!"

The crowd mocked him one after another.

"Get lost!"

A cold shout came, and suddenly Chen Xiao felt a gust of wind at his back. Turning around, he saw the third prince of the Da Xia Royal Family, Saint Xia, raising his palm toward him.

He drew his sharp sword and slashed toward Saint Xia!

The two exchanged blows in an instant.

However, in his haste, Chen Xiao had to take a step back.

His eyes turned completely grim.

"This Linglong Tower is not one you can challenge. Who gave you the courage to show off in front of this prince?" Saint Xia’s indifferent voice fell, his mouth curled in disdain, and he directly entered the Linglong Tower!

After that, layers of light in the Linglong Pagoda lit up rapidly...

First layer, second layer, third layer!

The crowd erupted.

Saint Xia’s speed in challenging the Linglong Pagoda was actually faster than Feng Hen!

It was simply unbelievable!

Soon, he had already passed the sixth layer...

About half an hour later.

He was flung out by the Linglong Pagoda.

Grasping several Jade Scrolls in his hand.

His face showed a trace of unwillingness, "It was just a little bit short of passing the seventh layer."

"Just a little bit!"

His heart ached with frustration.

The crowd was astonished, not expecting even Saint Xia only managed to pass the sixth layer.

However, he persisted longer than Feng Hen.

It was already quite impressive.

Chen Xiao watched him with a cold gaze, then quickly wielded his sharp sword!

"Swish, swish, swish—"

Before Saint Xia could react, Chen Xiao’s sword had already reached him!

"You—" He couldn’t believe this kid at the Late Transcendent Realm actually dared to strike him!

"Ant, you’re overestimating yourself!"

He raised his hand, intending to forcefully suppress Chen Xiao!

However... he miscalculated.

The moment his palm touched Chen Xiao’s sharp sword, a surge of pain followed!

He swiftly withdrew his palm.

"Earlier, when you ambushed me, weren’t you very arrogant? Now, why are you as embarrassed as a dog?" Chen Xiao’s chilling voice sounded.

With a flick of his sword, the next second, a blood flower bloomed on Saint Xia’s shoulder!

He roared in anguish, "Kid, you’re seeking death!"

"It’s you seeking death." Chen Xiao’s tone was domineering and cold, "Today, I’ll chop off your dog head, let’s see how you continue showing off!"

As the words fell, his sword was about to cleave Saint Xia’s neck.

Saint Xia’s hair stood on end, narrowly avoiding this strike!

"Stop—!"

Several other strong figures from the Emperor Xia clan rushed forward, collectively targeting Chen Xiao.

Seeing them join forces to kill him, Chen Xiao had to temporarily give up on exterminating Saint Xia.

However, those from the Da Xia Royal Family refused to let it go, intending to continue surrounding and killing Chen Xiao.

"He is a disciple of our Xuantian Sect; to move against him is to move against Xuantian Sect!" Zi Yuan and several elders from Xuantian Sect stood up in support of Chen Xiao.

"This kid is too presumptuous, daring to ambush our third prince!"

"If he doesn’t die today, our Da Xia Royal Family will lose face entirely!"

Those martial artists from the Da Xia Royal Family spoke coldly.

Zi Yuan sneered, "Earlier, didn’t your so-called third prince ambush him too? And, this Saint Xia claimed to be the pride among your Da Xia Royal Family’s young generation, yet was driven to this by a Late Transcendent Realm trash. What face does your Da Xia Royal Family have left? It’s already all lost!"

Being confronted head-on by Zi Yuan, Saint Xia felt even more humiliated.

He had always considered himself superior, never regarding others of his generation.

Yet here, he was driven to this state by a mere Late Transcendent Realm trash.

Where could he put his face?!

Saint Xia took a deep breath and coldly fixed his gaze on Chen Xiao, "Earlier, I sustained some injuries inside the tower, coupled with your ambush, that’s how you succeeded."

"If it were a direct confrontation, I could defeat you with one move."

"This prince won’t bully you; once I recover from my injuries, I will single-handedly slay you!"

"Third prince..." Several martial artists from the Da Xia Royal Family tried to advise.

"Alright, as a prince, I naturally have this under control!" Saint Xia waved his hand indifferently, "Dealing with a mere Late Transcendent Realm, if I need your help, where does that leave my face?"

He is a very self-confident person, and having lost face in front of everyone, he naturally wants to redeem himself.

"Fine, I’ll wait for you to recover, then break through the tower first, and when I come out, I’ll cut you down with a sword!"

With those words, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Chen Xiao directly stepped into the Linglong Tower.

"That’s so arrogant..."

"Late Transcendent Realm, dares to boast about slaying Saint Xia?"

"Does he really think the geniuses on the Transcendent List are made of clay?"

"He completely doesn’t know the gap between martial artists on the Transcendent List and ordinary Transcendent Realm peak!"

Saint Xia has outstanding talent and also has the backing of the Da Xia Royal Family, which makes his cultivation technique and martial skills far superior to those of ordinary martial artists.

Facing Chen Xiao can be described as an absolute and complete advantage.

Feng Hen shook his head, "Junior sister, look at this guy, his skills aren’t great, but his tone is large, daring to provoke even Saint Xia, he’s really tired of living."

"Teaming up with him would only bring us trouble!"

The tone was full of contempt.

Zi Yuan didn’t say anything, just quietly watched the Linglong Tower.

As soon as Chen Xiao entered, the light of the first layer of the tower immediately lit up!

"Cleared the first layer so fast?"

"Seems... faster than both Feng Hen and Saint Xia earlier!"

"What’s the use of being fast at the first layer? The opponents on the first layer are very weak and not worth mentioning."

"True, we still have to look at the subsequent layers!"

As the crowd discussed in various ways, the light of the second layer lit up again!

Chen Xiao directly broke through the second hurdle.

"This..."

Everyone was amazed.

When they broke through the Linglong Tower, their speed wasn’t even remotely as fast as Chen Xiao’s!

Zi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this guy does have some skills, not losing face in front of everyone.

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue also watched Chen Xiao breaking through, her gaze somewhat complicated and resentful.

This guy is going to deliver Heavenly Grade Supreme Martial Technique to Zi Yuan...and what about her?

Bastard!

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao had already cleared the fifth hurdle of Linglong Tower!

It was unbelievably fast!

The faces of Saint Xia and Feng Hen earlier couldn’t hide their displeasure; clearly, Chen Xiao’s speed exceeded theirs by far, showing Chen Xiao had easily cleared the stages.

Feng Hen said sourly, "Being fast in the beginning is useless, it’s about the final result."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the sixth layer lit up.

Chen Xiao, effortlessly breaking through the first six hurdles!

This record already equaled that of Saint Xia and Feng Hen earlier!

The scariest thing is, from entering Linglong Tower until now, less than ten breaths have passed! Such an amazing speed is far beyond what the two could achieve!

At this point, the two of them were completely at a loss.

Saint Xia’s face burned with heat, he said faintly, "What does fast mean? The difficulty of Late Transcendent Realm martial artists breaking through might be lower than ours at Transcendent Realm peak."

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue chuckled disdainfully, "You’re saying all sorts of things; not clearing is trash, clearing is because it’s easy, truly laughable."

"But from the looks of it, this guy should be able to obtain a martial skill of fairly good grade."

Being rebuffed by Emperor’s daughter Xiyue, Saint Xia felt even more embarrassed.

"Emperor’s daughter Xiyue, you’re overthinking; the difficulty between the seventh and sixth levels is completely different, even I only lasted for a short while at the seventh level."

"Could he last longer than I did?"

"The sixth level is his limit!"

"Wanting to surpass a prince is hard!"

His confident voice echoed, and the light of the seventh layer of Linglong Tower became dazzling...

"This... this guy cleared the seventh hurdle?!"

"How is it possible?"

This guy, incredibly fast, broke Feng Hen and Saint Xia’s record?

Their breath quickened.

Saint Xia’s face flushed red, as if he had been slapped hard.

In just a few breaths, the eighth layer of Linglong Tower lit up!

This caused an uproar in the entire venue!

"The... the eighth layer, he cleared it?" Everyone’s faces showed disbelief.

It means Chen Xiao now possesses Heavenly Grade Supreme Martial Technique!

Two levels higher than Feng Hen and Saint Xia!

Moreover, it’s not over yet.

Could he actually reach the ninth layer of Linglong Tower?
