Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 714 - 399: Fourth Layer! Strength Greatly Increased!

Inside the Genius Trial Tower, everyone remained silent.

Jiang Shu's entire battle was recorded, sweeping through like a hurricane, leaving a profound impact.

The surrounding geniuses who initially thought themselves on par with Jiang Shu, lowered their heads and sought battles, cultivating quietly.

They hoped to make breakthroughs in the little time left, and like Jiang Shu, advance to the Fourth Floor and formally begin the trial.

Outside the Genius Trial Tower.

The Tenth Rank experts were silent too; after a few moments, one of them uttered two words: "Impressive."

This expert initially bet on Yu Heng, although he regarded Jiang Shu highly, he believed Jiang Shu lacked foundation, had limited understanding of space, and needed more time to catch up with Yu Heng and the true geniuses within the Business Alliance.

But now it seems... Jiang Shu's talents are beyond their imagination.

Even if they were to cultivate "Cosmic Light Crossing" now, within two years, they might not be any better than Jiang Shu.

"Looks like my Ten Thousand Flames Sun and Moon Wine might not last, lucky you all."

The expert shook his head, as if retrieving a jug from the void with one hand.

From the jug poured starlight rivers, the sun and moon rotated, emanating an exquisite fragrance.

"Let's celebrate our Jiuyu Commerce Alliance discovering another true genius. When the time comes, we'll strive to recruit Jiang Shu; we cannot let him leave the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance."

The jug tilted slightly, each drop of wine brimming with energy; if converted to genetic liquid, it could instantly elevate an Eighth Rank Genetic Cultivator to the Ninth Rank.

Yet here, it was merely a gambling token for Tenth Rank experts seeking pleasure.

"That's inevitable, not just Jiang Shu, but Yu Heng too. From Forget Form Realm to Forget Realm, the greatest challenge lies in understanding the Space Origin Principle; only those who master the principle can fully form and develop a small world. The reason we remain at this stage is our inability to penetrate this step. Only true geniuses can take this step. Even in our alliance, genius Jiang Li has outstanding talent, yet lacks innate skill in spatial understanding, forcing him to lower his grade."

"However, this time he clearly wants to prove himself too, persistently battling the eight Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts on the Sixth Floor. With his power, he could definitely fight eight at once, continually maneuvering to enhance his combative strength, possibly even comprehend a part of the Space Origin. So when he proceeds to the Seventh Floor, he'll be able to perform even better."

"After all, on the Seventh Floor, killing eight, nine, or ten beasts equates to different achievements."

"Hahaha, Squad Leader Feng, your hidden wine is really good; let's bet further on Jiang Li, Yu Heng, and Jiang Shu. Let's see how many Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts the trio can slay on the Seventh Floor."

"I'll bet on Jiang Li first; although Jiang Shu performed well, his luck isn't as favorable. If he could acquire the Void Venerable's Inheritance in the Black Iron Desert's Void Realm, given his talent, his spatial understanding could certainly advance. I'd definitely place my bets on him; however, this 'Cosmic Light Crossing' excels on the Ninth Rank but may not be as impressive compared to Yu Heng and Jiang Li. After all, the status and cultivation they witnessed surpass Jiang Shu. What about you, Master Shang?"

Though the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance has nine Eleventh Rank Venerables, with identities of such prestige, how could they personally handle affairs?

They only set the alliance's major directives, while the actual management falls to the 108 Tenth Rank Squad Leaders.

"Of course, I consistently support Jiang Shu. Even though currently Jiang Shu, upon entering the Seventh Floor, is estimated to have enough power to slay seven or eight Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts, he can take his time like Jiang Li, honing himself on the Sixth Floor. Observe him now entering the Fourth Floor, evidently aware that he is within the belly of a Ninth Rank Peak Star Beast, yet still sits cultivating with spiritual power protecting his whole body. He's clearly not reckless, and won't lose himself to momentary victories."

The Trading House Squad Leader spoke, also pulling out a treasure to place a bet: "Winning or losing doesn't matter; once Jiang Shu exits the Genius Trial Tower, I'll be the first to approach him, no need for you all. Who said your initial judgment wasn't as sharp as mine."

"Alright, let's go with you then. For now, it seems these three have the best chance of advancing to the Seventh Floor, which is enough. With five already, if one or two more emerge later, this Genius Trial Tower wouldn't have opened in vain."

The Jiuyu Alliance's Genius Trial Tower is merely a formality for true geniuses, no need to waste time here to prove themselves.

It's where second-tier geniuses engage in practice, build up opportunities, showcase themselves, and elevate their genius status.

Producing six or seven is already quite an impressive success.

...

A pitch-black scene.

Putrid mucus surrounded Jiang Shu, yet Jiang Shu seemed indifferent. This mucus could corrode everything; ordinary Ninth Rank cultivators might be utterly submerged into blood and flesh within.

Even their souls are swallowed by Ninth Rank Peak Star Beasts. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Once reaching the Fourth Floor, the Ninth Rank Peak Star Beast is the strongest among Ninth Rank, each naturally close to the Cosmic Origin, some even more powerful than peak Ninth Rank cultivators of the same realm.
