Yu Fei spoke up and interrupted them, "Han Chen, you can take the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique! "The restriction was broken by you, and Gu Tao and the rest were also driven away by you. Therefore …"
"It doesn't matter." Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Han Chen shook his head, "I don't need this martial skill, I have other martial skills of my own. But if Miss Yu Fei is willing. "After the competition is over, you can share your Heaven Ranked Martial Technique with my friends."
Xin Lan, Wu Jun and the rest were all excited.
Yu Fei was startled at first, but after that, he nodded, "Alright, we'll do as you say!"
Xin Lan and the other two were overjoyed, their faces full of excitement. To them, Heaven Ranked Martial Techniques were treasures that could only be encountered by chance and not sought for. She could not help but feel even more grateful towards Han Chen.
Yu Fei walked towards the stone table inside the cubicle, and reached out his white right hand towards the golden ball of light. As soon as he touched the ball of light, a message immediately appeared in his mind.
"Inferior Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, Mighty Sorrowful Fluttering Leaf Hand."
It was indeed a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, although it was low quality, the happiness on Yu Fei's face was still as radiant as before. After obtaining the martial skill, he returned to his original position, "Alright, it's a set of martial skill called the Great Sorrowful Petal Palm."
"Yes." Han Chen nodded, then looked at his surroundings: "It's about that, we are going to the third floor now."
Chapter 174 - Strange Strength
"Damn it, Han Chen, I will definitely not let you go."
In the darkness of the second floor of the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower, Gu Tao cursed as he walked. At this moment, a few familiar figures appeared in front of him. If it wasn't Deng Ling, Huayun City, who else would Mei Ling's group be?
"Gu Tao, didn't you go look for the Heaven Ranked Martial Technique? How did you end up in such a sorry state? " A slightly short, average looking young man asked in confusion.
"What?" Gu Tao furrowed his brows. A trace of annoyance appeared on his pale face. I never thought that Han Chen, that little thief, would actually break through his mastery, and after I exchanged blows with him, things would turn out like this. "
"What?" You met Han Chen's little thief? "
Everyone was startled, Deng Ling and Huayun City could not help but frown. A few complex expressions emerged on Mei Ling's face. To be able to defeat Gu Tao, Han Chen's strength had also taken a big step forward with Huayun City.
Seeing Gu Tao's miserable state, Deng Ling squinted, and a little solemness emerged from her eyes. He had fought with Han Chen before, so he knew how difficult it was to deal with the other party. Now that she had also broken through to the first level of mastery, if he were to fight one on one, the chances of winning were very slim.
"Senior Brother Deng Ling, since the little thief Han Chen is so arrogant, let's go look for him and kill him." Huayun City said fiercely. He was the one who wished for Han Chen to die the most.
"Junior Brother Yun Cheng is right, that kid is indeed too arrogant."
"Gu Tao, where is he now?"
"Wait." Deng Ling waved her hand, signalling for everyone to stop. That kid has some ability. Although it's not hard for us to kill him, it's inevitable that we'll be injured. Moreover, killing him just like that was too easy for that kid. I have an even better way to slowly torture him to death. "
"Oh? "What is it?" Gu Tao's interest was piqued.
"Heh, I'll tell you guys later. I'll go to the third floor first."
In the center of the second level of the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower. A dazzling transmission array was surrounded by a group of people. Just like on the first floor, many people had helpless sighs on their faces.
Han Chen, Wu Jun, and the others were preparing to head to the third floor. As for Xin Lan and Da Wei, their expressions were slightly downcast. The two of them were only at the fifth level of the Refinement Stage, while the second level was already the highest.
"Whaity. We can only stay here." Xin Lan said with regret.
"It's alright, compared to the little monkey and Xiao Wen, we can already be considered lucky." After all, he had gained quite a bit from this trip.
Han Chen smiled and nodded, then instructed the two of them, his tone carried a sense of seriousness. Dazzling, Xin Lan. With Gu Tao here, it looked like Deng Ling, Huayun City and the rest were also definitely in the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower. You guys be careful, it's best not to wander around and avoid meeting them. "
"Yeah, we know." Xin Lan gave the other party a reassuring look.
"Alright, it's about time. We'll be leaving first." Han Chen and Wu Jun, Yu Fei nodded to each other. Then, under different gazes from the surrounding people, they entered the teleportation formation.
Buzz! Buzz! A burst of sound came from the air. Han Chen, Yu Fei, and Xin Lan only saw a flash of light before their eyes and heard a light swoosh sound. In the next moment, his surroundings changed.
"Have you reached the third floor?"
The three of them looked around in surprise. It was an extremely empty world, with a dark floor and a dark top, as if even the air was dark. The oppressive atmosphere felt like they were in a secret room. There were people walking about everywhere, as if they were looking for something.
"Why is there nothing on the third floor?" "How strange." Wu Jun frowned, his face revealing a confused look.
Yu Fei raised his delicate eyes slightly, shook his head, and said, "Before, I heard from senior brothers and sisters who were here three years ago that the third floor had a special kind of power."
"A strange power?" Wu Jun was surprised, but just as he was about to say something, his face changed and he shouted, "Where's Han Chen? Why is Han Chen gone? "
"Hmm?" Yu Fei was also shocked, his eyes looked all around, "He was just here a moment ago! Why is it that I suddenly can't see anyone anymore? "
The two of them looked at each other, both seeing the confusion in the other's eyes. Just as they were about to search everywhere, a white light flashed and Han Chen instantly appeared where he was standing just a moment ago.
The other side suddenly appeared again, almost scaring Wu Jun and Yu Fei to the ground. The latter quickly asked, "Han Chen, where did you go just now?"
"Eh?" Han Chen was startled, then puzzledly answered: "I have been at my original spot the entire time?"
In place? The two of them became even more confused as if they couldn't believe what had just happened. Even if they were seeing things, they couldn't be like this for both of them, right? However, Han Chen's face was extremely serious, as though he was not lying at all.
Yu Fei pursed his red lips and muttered, "Could it be some kind of special power?" If the power of the third layer could confuse people's vision, then wouldn't that mean that there were many people who couldn't see it?
"Just now, I really did feel a trace of strange power." Han Chen said.
Aesult, Yu Fei couldn't help but confirm his guess. Wu Jun also started to retract his previous contempt and once again developed a reverence for the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower.
"Then what are we going to do next?" Wu Jun asked.
Han Chen looked at his surroundings. There were almost no obstacles on the third floor. One could almost see the walls of the tower, but the area was still very large. It was completely different from what he had expected from the outside.
"I want to go to the fourth floor first."
After Han Chen explained his thoughts, Wu Jun could not help but hesitate a little. His strength was the weakest amongst the three of them, so whether he could go to the fourth floor was unknown. However, he, who was proposed by Han Chen, naturally would not object.
Yu Fei did not have any objections, the three leaders immediately started searching foeleportation circle leading to the next level.
/>
Moments later, the three of them arrived at the center of the tower. However, to their surprise, there was no sign of a teleportation formation. The floor was made up of hard, cold floor tiles, which were not much different from the rest of the floor.
"What's going on? Could it be that even the teleportation circle is invisible? " Wu Jun opened his eyes wide, going back and forth, sweeping his eyes across his surroundings, occasionally stamping his feet on the ground, as though he was about to step on some hidden mechanism.
Han Chen squinted his eyes, only to see that not many people knew what was going on. Shaking his head, he replied, "Don't bother looking for it. There's no energy here, so the transfer array won't be here."
"Where would that be?"
"I feel like this floor doesn't have any teleportation arrays." After a moment of silence, Yu Fei revealed his thoughts.
"Oh?" Han Chen was surprised, and asked: "How do you know?"
"Didn't you just say that you have comprehended a trace of a strange power? Then you disappeared. I think the passage to the fourth level might be related to that power. Of course, this is just my guess. "
"Your idea is not unreasonable." Han Chen expressed his agreement, after all the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower was the treasure of the Mystical Peak, so it was normal for the things inside to be strange.
Wu Jun also nodded in agreement, he raised his head and looked at the dark and gloomy ceiling, "Then what do we need to do now?"
"I've comprehended and felt that strange power." Han Chen said as he took the initiative to sit cross-legged on the ground.
Yu Fei and Wu Jun paused for a moment, and immediately did not say anymore. Following Han Chen's movements, the three of them formed a triangle as they focused on comprehending the so called special power.
The Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower's spirit energy was already abundant, so people who trained here would be able to enter a state very quickly. Of course, to enter a state of mind did not mean that he had comprehended that power.
Not far away, a group of people were still searching for the third layer of the secret. Han Chen's consciousness gradually became hazy, and the voice beside his ears became more and more ethereal. In the end, it actually became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared.
Outside the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower.
It had been almost an hour since they had entered the tower. The disciples waiting in the training grounds would inevitably feel bored. On the walls of the four Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower, the red dots were mostly on the first, second, and third floor. On the fourth level, there were also a few scattered red dots.
"Waiting ieally hard thing to endure. It's really a bit boring." The little monkey shook its head and glanced at Ming Ruo and Xiao Wen who were playing with Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. It could only shake its head and sigh helplessly.
The two girls were rather bored, so they thought of something to do to kill time.
In the entire Dao Pillar, other than the elders and the two headmasters, there was no one else. The others had relatively less patience, and the vast majority of them were chatting about something.
"Look, someone has reached the fifth level of the Eastern Spiritual Martial Tower." A cry of alarm came from the crowd.
Everyone in the audience was shocked as they all turned to look at the Spiritual Martial Tower in the east. Sure enough, a red dot on the fifth floor seemed to be leading the way ahead.
"It's Senior Xiu Wen, it must be Senior Xiu Wen."
"That's right, it must be him."
Without waiting for the cheers to get out of hand, another few excited shouts echoed in the air.
"People from the west and south have also reached the fifth level."
"It must be Senior Sister Ruo Ying and Senior Brother You Zhong."
"That's great, they are truly worthy of being the hot candidates for the championship. That's really great, they."
Hearing the exclamations, the eyes of all the elders lit up. Sect Leader Xuan Fengzi nodded his head in admiration, "To be able to reach the fifth floor in an hour, his speed is no slower than Mo Hen's speed back then."
Some people from the three Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower had rushed up to the fifth floor in a short amount of time, and everyone's gaze couldn't help but subconsciously sweep towards the pagoda to the north. That was the pagoda where Han Chen and the rest were at. Not only was there no one on the fifth floor, the red dots on the fourth floor were even less than the other pagodas.
Just as everyone was sighing, something unexpected happened. Five red dots suddenly lit up on the fifth floor.
Chapter 175 - Four Images
Inside the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower.
At this time, the places where Han Chen, Yu Fei, and Wu Jun had previously been were already empty. Not long ago, the three of them were still sitting in the lotus position, but now they had mysteriously disappeared.
"How strange. Hey, did you notice that the three people sitting there have disappeared?" A man who was still exploring the third layer of the secret asked his companion.
"Eh? It seemed to have disappeared. It was still there just now! Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye? "
"Could it be that they found a way to enter the fourth level?"
"Who knows!" Weren't we supposed to have been focusing on comprehending it for a while? "It's not that there aren't many benefits."
The two simultaneously let out a sigh. The further up they went, the harder it was to walk on the Four Elephants Spirit Martial Tower's path.
The dusky world was completely silent.
Han Chen looked at the unfamiliar world in front of him with a confused expression. As far as the eye could see, there was an endless gray, as if it was isolated from the rest of the world.
"Yu Fei, Wu Jun, where are you?" Han Chen tried to call out, but the echo in his ears gave others a feeling of silence.
After trying to call him a few more times, Han Chen was sure that he was the only one here. But the doubt in his heart swept over him likide. What is this place? The fourth level? Or was it somewhere?
"Just now, I was chasing after some kind of strange force that brought me here. I wonder how the both of them are doing now."
Han Chen recalled what had happened before and started to walk forward. The sound of footsteps rang out, like ripples on a calm water surface.
"Wait, what is that sound?" Han Chen seemed to have caught something as he moved his ears to listen carefully.
Hu hu! It sounded like the wind blowing against one's ears. It was as gentle as a veil being caressed by the wind. Han Chen's brows relaxed as he closed his eyes to carefully feel the source of the voice. However, this kind of voice seemed to have no source, and no matter how Han Chen tried to calm himself, he was unable to discover where that power came from.
Why is there no wind? Why can't you just hear the voice but not feel it?
Han Chen lightly shook his head, slowly opening his arms, his posture making it seem as though he was hugging someone. At this moment, a corner of his clothes was pulled up.
"Hmm?" Han Chen's clothes swayed slightly, causing the airflow to fluctuate. He seemed to have understood something, and gently swung his arms. The airflow changed, and a faint gust of wind blew over.
"I understand. That's how the wind came about." Han Chen's face revealed a happy expression, just at this time, the The Supreme Divine Diagram in his body suddenly released a wave of obscure power fluctuations.
A gentle light burst out of Han Chen's body, and in the next instant, the gray fog around him quickly receded. Han Chen's figure lengthened, and the scenery in front of his eyes experienced an earth-shattering change.
The environment in front of him instantly changed, and Han Chen didn't dare to believe it. At this moment, he was standing atop a mountain peak that was thirty thousand meters high, giving off a majestic aura that could draw out five great mountains. There was a valley below the mountain
peak that was quickly hidden. Looking from a distance, the gullies formed by the valley looked like huge dragons lying on the ground.
Han Chen stood proudly on the summit of the mountain, the scenery in front of his eyes was beautiful and pleasant. Under the rays of the sun, the lush and verdant trees seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light.
However, right at this moment, the wind howled, and the clouds changed color. Thick black clouds instantly covered the entire sky. Han Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he stared at the Nine Heavens.
Dense clouds gathered together and spun at high speed, forming a black nebula vortex. It was as if there was going to be a violent storm.
Han Chen stood on top of the mountain, like a young tree that could be swept away at any time. This apocalyptic scene seemed somewhat familiar to him.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think back to the time when he was on the verge of death in the Boundless Abyss. The scene this time was extremely similar. The only difference was that they had lost the members of the Violent Wind Gang who were howling in grief.
"Four Great Art's Wind Slasher."
A voice that sounded like thunder exploded beside his ears. Han Chen's mind shook, and his face was filled with an expression of unimaginable shock and bewilderment. Was this real or an illusion? Where did he arrive at? The third or fourth floor? What was the Wind Slasher of the Four Directions?
Suddenly, something that made Han Chen even more helpless happened. In front of him, flames shot up into the sky, and the burning flames engulfed the area likrairie fire.
The intense heat caused the forest to crackle, and even the air was distorted from the heat. Han Chen was truly shocked by the sudden scene in front of him.
What had happened? The soaring flames intertwined with each other, interweaving as if wanting to burn everything into ashes. The burning high temperature caused Han Chen's entire body to be filled with a burning pain, his delicate and pretty face was reflected in a red light.
Above his head was the Windstorm Nebula and beneath his feet was a sea of fire. A fierce wind blew and the sea of fire violently churned. Han Chen felt his scalp go numb. Was there anything more terrifying than this?
