Chapter 502: Chapter 503: The Test

“So these things really belong to you?” The Silver Horned Dragon Deer was still somewhat skeptical.

“As real as it gets, Senior Silver Deer, shall we begin?”

“Begin my ass, how am I supposed to fight with these things? Why did the Sword Tower allow such a weirdo like you today?”

The Silver Horned Dragon Deer felt deflated, completely devoid of any desire to fight. Although it was a Dragon Beast with an incredibly strong physique, comparable to a peak Life and Death Realm Martial Artist, and could even contend with Nirvana Realm Martial Artists when it erupted, just one Emperor’s Artifact, the Donghuang Bell, was enough to quell its flames, not to mention the Heavenly Destiny Imperial Artifact, the Form and Spirit Sect.

The Silver Horned Dragon Deer looked enviously at the “glitz and glamour” Zhong Lin, speechless, “With just these two treasures, there’s no one in the entire Sword Tower who can stand against you.”

“So have I passed your test?”

“Just go! Just go!”

After speaking, the Silver Horned Dragon Deer turned around and walked away, leaving a large backside facing Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin gave a slight bow to the back of the Silver Horned Dragon Deer, then received the Donghuang Bell into his Dantian and proceeded towards the open portal of the Second Layer.

“Tsk tsk, the Donghuang Bell… Donghuang… Eastern Desolate… Xi Xuan, this disciple has quite ambitious aspirations. But being able to comprehend the Domain at the Yin Yang Realm, he indeed has the qualifications to ascend to the peak, quite interesting. The Qingyuan World is bound to see some excitement in the future.”

In the darkness, a pair of captivating eyes flashed a gleam of light, and an anthropomorphized smile appeared on the deer’s face as if recalling something amusing.

On the other side, Zhong Lin was contemplating the test of the Second Layer.

“Senior Brother Nan Cheng said the test of the Second Layer assesses the potential and foundation of a Martial Artist. That shouldn’t be difficult for me since I have already comprehended the Spirit Domain. I just don’t know what kind of test it will be?”

As he thought, he stepped into the Second Layer of the Sword Tower. Just as he entered, a streak of Sword Intent emanated and aimed straight at Zhong Lin’s forehead.

Zhong Lin showed no panic at all. Although this Sword Intent carried an unparalleled dominance and eternal stillness, it was still mere Sword Intent, lacking that final spark of brilliance for completion. It appeared formidable but was ultimately nothing more than a kiln head mud embryo without a foundation.

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Zhong Lin’s eyes glistened with divine intent as sharp as an unsheathed treasure sword, directly shattering the incoming Sword Intent.

With the collapse of this Sword Intent, the entire Second Layer hall returned to silence.

Buzz!

A distant, clear sound resonated, which turned out to be the opening of the door to the Third Layer.

“Passed?”

Though puzzled, Zhong Lin was unsurprised. The Second Layer assessed potential and foundation, and this was not something he feared. In terms of foundation, he had a First Grade Immortal Golden Core. In terms of potential, he had comprehended the Spirit Domain and had hopes of sealing a king in the future. Scanning the entire Eastern Desolate, there might not be anyone who could compare. If he couldn’t pass the test, then something would definitely be wrong.

Without any pause, and because the first two layers hadn’t exhausted him in any way, Zhong Lin stepped directly toward the Third Layer.

Accompanied by a fluctuation of space, Zhong Lin shook his head lightly.

He slowly opened his eyes to find no longer the Black Stone Hall, but a massive plaza.

The morning mist hadn’t cleared yet, and in the east, a great sun was rising slowly. The ground beneath his feet was paved with bluish stones.

Zhong Lin frowned deeply and surveyed his surroundings, eventually looking at himself.

It was still him, but he had transformed into a young boy’s appearance, looking about twelve or thirteen, dressed in a black short suit.

The most crucial part was that Zhong Lin couldn’t feel the Golden Core in his Dantian. Even his physique had become incredibly fragile, as if he had truly turned into an ordinary boy.

“So this is the Illusion Realm that Senior Brother Nan Cheng mentioned? It feels so real.” Zhong Lin murmured softly in his heart.

“System!”

Seeing that the System Panel still appeared before him, Zhong Lin silently let out a sigh of relief. At least the cheats were still there, and now it was just a matter of seeing what this Illusion Realm wanted to test.

“Zhong Lin, what are you standing there for? Run quickly! If we’re late, King Instructor’s whip will definitely come down, and today is the day for teaching the ’Cloud Crane Nine Heavens Fist.’ If we arrive late, there won’t be a good spot.”

A boy of the same age suddenly patted Zhong Lin’s back, the small amount of force causing him to stumble slightly.

Forcing himself to endure the sudden feeling of weakness, Zhong Lin responded with “coming” and followed the flow of people running forward.

When Zhong Lin, panting heavily, finally arrived, there were already hundreds of boys his age gathered on the plaza, all looking intently at a middle-aged man on the high platform at the center.

This middle-aged man wore a purple robe, stood nine feet tall, with a grand presence, his spine straight as a sword or spear, akin to a towering mountain pressing down on them. Despite the distance, it made breathing slightly laborious.

Undoubtedly, this must be the King Instructor.

After a brief moment, the King Instructor suddenly opened his eyes, a divine light flashed in his pupils, causing the boys who met his gaze to feel as if a sword light had pierced through, prompting them to quickly avert their eyes.

“The ’Cloud Crane Nine Heavens Fist’ was created by the Sect Master of Xuanyuan Sect. It stands as one of the finest body refinement techniques in the world. Different from those miscellaneous Jianghu practices that seem powerful but injure the foundation, leaving internal injuries that may erupt in old age, resulting in a miserable end.”

“The ’Cloud Crane Nine Heavens Fist’ not only possesses great power but also nourishes the body. Even if one can’t step into the Innate Realm, it can still extend longevity. You must learn it diligently.”

King Instructor’s voice wasn’t loud, but in everyone’s ears, it thundered like a roar.

As he finished speaking, he grasped the air with his right hand, and his dragon-like spine straightened. Muscles on both sides trembled as he performed a clawing motion, then unleashed a punch.

Bang!

A clear sound resonated as the bluish stone in front of him was struck through directly, the ease of the action not unlike cutting through tofu.

Such a sight filled the eyes of the young onlookers with reverence. Those were bluish stones, as hard as iron, typically not even leaving a mark with a knife, and now they were directly punched through. Imagine if someone were hit with it…

“This is the Clear Sky Illusion Crane! It can sever bones with a single punch.”

Swish!

His arms swept across, a fierce wind assaulted the air.

“This move is called Cold Star Pointing Crane.”

With his five fingers clawing at the ground, a slight tremor in his leg muscles propelled his entire body into the air, retreating dozens of steps in an instant.

“This move is called Light Smoke Swirling Cranes.”

The King Instructor continuously demonstrated and practiced the ’Cloud Crane Nine Heavens Fist,’ his movements as agile as a hungry tiger pouncing on prey, an eagle striking the sky, explosively releasing immense power between the contrasts of strength and gentleness.
