Those who grasp Martial Intent can gain the aid of the Power of Heaven and Earth!

Crack!

Accompanied by a slash from Chu Nan, the sickle was instantly sent flying, forcing Jia Yu, who was hidden in the shadows, to emerge.

"Pfft!" Jia Yu spat a mouthful of blood, his face pale, and his gaze towards Chu Nan filled with terror.

Since achieving the Spirit Pill Realm, he had only suffered such a significant setback at the hands of Jiang Yixing!

At this moment, Chu Nan was immersed in a state of comprehending Martial Intent, a state completely different from before.

The feeling of becoming one with the universe and wielding the Power of Heaven and Earth was indescribable.

"Leveraging the Martial Skill Cyan Mountain Radiant Sun Sword, I successfully comprehended Flame Martial Intent. I can manipulate Fire Attribute Spiritual Power within a ten-meter range, and each attack can exert several times more power than before!"

Jia Yu was no longer a match for him.

At this moment, Jia Yu was utterly afraid; he hadn't expected Chu Nan to break through mid-fight. Without hesitation, he hid in the shadows and turned to flee.

Perceiving Jia Yu's escape attempt, Chu Nan's eyes flashed like lightning. He took a few steps using Roaming Dragon Shocking Wind Step and caught up with Jia Yu, his Willow Branch Sword entwined with Sword Intent, ready to strike him down at any moment!

Jia Yu, in a panic, said anxiously, "We're fellow disciples, do you really need to wipe me out completely?"

"Spare me, and I won't provoke you again in the future."

"You still talk too much nonsense!" Chu Nan's eyes were indifferent as he mercilessly swung his sword.

Jia Yu was also a Martial Artist who had comprehended ninety percent of Martial Intent. It wasn't impossible for him to have a sudden enlightenment like this, and for life-and-death enemies like this, Chu Nan always eradicated them without giving the slightest chance!

Under the shroud of Sword Intent, Jia Yu let out a miserable scream and was forced out of the shadows.

He knelt on the ground, pleading for mercy, "Chu Nan, spare my life..."

Chu Nan did not reply, instantly flashed in front of Jia Yu, and swept his sword horizontally.

Death comes!

Bone and flesh separated, Jia Yu's head flew high. The second top genius on the true disciple list perished here today.

Chu Nan felt no pity, only secretly relieved. If Jia Yu had comprehended Martial Intent first, his actions would be even more ruthless!

"Jia Yu, truly killed by Chu Nan?" Not far away, Zheng Yao was still somewhat in disbelief at the scene before her.

Jia Yu was second only to Jiang Yixing among the true disciples and had been the true second for years, also being a ruthless killer.

Yet he was killed by Chu Nan, and if this were to spread, it would be shocking to the entire Sect!

"Chu Nan, did you just comprehend Martial Intent?" Zheng Yao asked hesitantly. Besides comprehending Martial Intent, she couldn't figure out how Chu Nan managed to kill Jia Yu.

Chu Nan slowly nodded and said, "A life-and-death crisis is both dangerous and an opportunity. I luckily comprehended Martial Intent, which allowed me to kill Jia Yu."

Receiving a definite answer, Zheng Yao looked at Chu Nan with even more admiration.

One must know that Chu Nan was only sixteen years old, whereas the true disciples entering Haotian Tower this time, including herself, were all over eighteen!

Jiang Yixing also took two years and only comprehended Martial Intent at nineteen.

And yet, at sixteen, Chu Nan comprehended Martial Intent in just a few days. This, even in all of Qingxuan Province, is a rare occurrence.

Just as Zheng Yao was about to say a few congratulatory words, she found that Chu Nan had already begun to inspect Jia Yu's body.

Jia Yu was the true second, a killer as well, so surely he had many treasures.

Chu Nan found seven or eight storage rings on him, discovering over a hundred thousand silver tickets, elixirs, Spirit Martial items, and more, enough to exchange for thirty thousand contribution points!

These were hard-earned trophies, and Chu Nan naturally took them all.

After finishing everything, Chu Nan then looked at Zheng Yao and said, "I'm wondering how your injuries are recovering?"

Zheng Yao slowly said, "It's not a big deal."

"Chu Nan, you have obtained the Nine-Fire Lotus and comprehended Martial Intent, so I wonder what your next plan is."

Chu Nan pondered for a moment, looking towards the direction of the seventeenth floor, "The Sect Leader said no one has ever ascended the eighteenth floor of Haotian Tower, and now that my strength has soared, I want to try the seventeenth floor!"

Zheng Yao's face showed excitement. She had never seen the challenges from the seventeenth to the eighteenth floor, but she believed Chu Nan, who had comprehended Martial Intent, could certainly pass.

After all, if even a Spirit Pill Realm Martial Artist like Chu Nan couldn't reach the eighteenth floor, then it would prove that the eighteenth floor is simply unreachable.

But soon, Zheng Yao showed a worried expression and said, "Jiang Yixing is probably already on the seventeenth floor. With his strength, he might have already broken through the obstacles, becoming the first true disciple to ascend to the eighteenth floor."

Chu Nan nodded slightly, feeling that with Jiang Yixing's strength, ascending to the eighteenth floor shouldn't be a problem.

But he still said, "Whether he passes or not, I must see for myself."

Hearing this, Zheng Yao showed a playful expression and said, "Then, Chu Nan, take me up too. Let me also see the scenery of Haotian Tower's eighteenth floor!"

Chu Nan nodded, and the two headed towards the seventeenth floor.

Actually, Chu Nan had no hope of being the first to ascend the eighteenth floor. He had spent a lot of time comprehending Martial Intent between the twelfth and sixteenth floors, while Jiang Yixing might have already gone to the eighteenth floor long ago.

Now, Jiang Yixing might be freely seizing opportunities on the unexplored eighteenth floor!

Soon, Chu Nan and Zheng Yao stepped onto the entrance and smoothly ascended to the seventeenth floor.

The seventeenth floor of Haotian Tower was even more desolate than the volcanic world of the sixteenth floor, a vast desert stretching as far as the eye could see.

Chu Nan and Zheng Yao walked into the depths of the seventeenth floor against the wind, as rice-sized sand hit their faces with a crackling sound.

This made Zheng Yao, the Sect's famous goddess, appear a bit more battered and worn.

After walking for about a day and a night, Chu Nan looked into the distance and saw a white figure sitting cross-legged in the sand with some surprise and said, "Jiang Yixing?"

Zheng Yao was also surprised to see Jiang Yixing. She had thought this guy should have reached the eighteenth floor ages ago.

Boom!

Suddenly, Jiang Yixing stood up, holding a Spirit Martial Long Blade and charged towards the distance, exuding an incredibly powerful aura, causing even Chu Nan to unconsciously show a solemn expression.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a dreadful roar came from underground, and the desert in front of Jiang Yixing was torn open by a pair of withered giant hands, as a five-meter tall enormous dried corpse roared and emerged from the ground.

The terrifying aura emanating from the corpse monster, even at a distance of a hundred meters, exerted tremendous pressure on Chu Nan.

Zheng Yao exclaimed, "Yang Wheel Realm Corpse Monster!"

"So this is the trial for reaching the eighteenth floor, no wonder no one has ever passed."

There is an enormous difference between Spirit Pill Realm and Yang Wheel Realm Martial Artists. Even those who have grasped Martial Intent in the Spirit Pill Realm might not defeat a Yang Wheel Realm without Martial Intent!

Seeing this Yang Wheel Realm corpse monster, Chu Nan understood why Jiang Yixing was still stuck here.

Facing such a terrifying monster, not being killed is proof enough of his exceptional strength.

"Looking at Jiang Yixing's posture, it doesn't seem like he's challenging this corpse monster for the first time. Can he succeed this time?" Chu Nan frowned, staring intently at the distant battlefield.
