Chapter 163: A Fight Between Second-Tier Martial Kings!
Whoosh!
Just as Su Xiaobai’s blade lights swept out one after another, engulfing the grand palace and the black-armored giant, at that very moment, the people outside who were constantly keeping an eye on the 102nd floor ranking of the Illusory Tower burst into a loud uproar!
“Sister Yan, look quickly! 102nd floor! Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon reached the 102nd floor!! And he’s ranked first again!!”
Nangong Yixin looked as if she had discovered something earth-shattering, her small face filled with shock and awe.
“His strength has increased again…”
Zhuo Bingyan’s tone was full of wistful emotion.
“102nd floor!”
Even the usually stoic Cheng Tianqian couldn’t help but show emotion.
Clearing the 102nd floor required the power to slay a Primary Martial King…
This meant that Su Xiaobai’s strength had already reached a level they couldn’t even begin to imagine!
Just how did this Su Xiaobai… manage to reach such a ridiculously exaggerated level?!
…
“102nd floor… first attempt, cleared in 3 seconds?!”
At the same time, the moment the experts monitoring the Illusory Tower heard about the record change on the 102nd floor, they all revealed astonished expressions!
Clearing the 102nd floor itself wasn’t all that surprising.
But doing it in just three seconds—that’s what truly shocked them!
Most people didn’t know this, but those standing at the pinnacle were well aware…
Beyond the hundredth floor of the Illusory Tower, there existed a colossal and impassable watershed: the 207-layer threshold.
Clearing the 100th floor meant you at least had the power equivalent to a Primary Martial King.
Clearing the 101st meant you could defeat a Primary Martial King.
Clearing the 102nd meant you had the power to kill one!
Each floor was like the difference between heaven and earth.
The gaps between them were ones that many people couldn’t cross even in a lifetime!
And yet, this Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon cleared the floor in just 3 seconds…
That meant his strength had far surpassed the Primary Martial King level—he was already on par with a Second-tier Martial King!
They had once been glorious prodigies and holy sons themselves.
But in the end, very few had made it to the 102nd floor…
Some couldn’t even cross it at all!
Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon not only passed it on his first try, but did it in 3 seconds, crushing the entire 102nd floor ranking—this alone proved how terrifying his potential was!
Once he fully matured, surpassing them would only take a matter of time.
He might even reach realms they themselves could never touch!
In that instant, every top-level figure was shaken.
They immediately issued orders—
Though the commands varied, they all had one core message:
At all costs, secure Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon!
…
“Hahahahahaha…”
“Heaven bless the human race!!”
Back on Earth, in the Virtual Network monitoring room, Meng Qianzheng couldn’t help but burst into heartfelt laughter the moment he received the news from the Virtual Network.
Even the eleven elders of the Council who were watching alongside him showed expressions of shock, horror, delight, and wild joy!
Back when Su Xiaobai cleared the 101st floor, the earthshaking news had already drawn their attention.
A second human genius had appeared, someone who cleared the 101st floor—how could they not be thrilled?
You must know, the last time humanity had someone like this was hundreds of years ago, when that legendary figure had made history!
After hundreds of years, humanity was finally blessed with another once-in-a-generation peerless genius!
Who would have thought that while they were still talking about the 101st floor, news of him clearing the 102nd floor would come through…
In an instant, the entire Virtual Network control room exploded into chaos!
The 102nd floor!!
Even in the vast and boundless Vast Domain, those who could reach the 102nd floor were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns!
Only the top-tier among the top-tier holy sons could achieve such a feat!
For humanity—a small race that didn’t even qualify to enter the ‘Ten Thousand Clans Ranking’ in the Vast Domain— to give birth to such a transcendent, peerlessly talented individual…
How could they not be overjoyed?
In fact, before today, all eleven elders of the council held some prejudice against Su Xiaobai.
The case of the 3,500 residency approvals had been a radical decision made by Meng Qianzheng with a firm stance…
If he hadn’t fought with solid arguments and bargained with all his might, how could they possibly have approved such an outrageous number?
But facts proved that Meng Qianzheng’s judgment was sharp and unparalleled!
It was precisely thanks to his determination that Base No.1 retained Su Xiaobai— allowing them the fortune to witness the rise of a monstrous genius, one who surpassed legends!
“Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon…”
But just as Meng Qianzheng and the elders were celebrating joyfully, no one noticed that among them in the control room, a demi-god-level Martial Commander’s eyes flashed with a cold, killing intent!
If one looked closely, they would even see a streak of dark golden light pass through his eyes!
…
“102nd floor, cleared!”
“You’ve received 120,000 cultivation points as a reward!”
“You may now choose one transcendent-grade cultivation technique!”
The Virtual Network’s notification sounded.
A technique selection panel popped up.
Su Xiaobai quickly browsed through it.
In the end, his gaze locked onto an transcendent-grade blood-qi technique—
[True Art of Burning Blood Fury]!
According to the description, this blood-qi technique was far purer than the [72 Forms of Blood Qi].
It didn’t have any fancy blood-qi moves.
Nor did it contain any flashy attack techniques.
Only one thing—by burning blood qi, it gave the user an unparalleled burst of power and a full stat boost!
This was a purer blood-burning secret art.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that even a Martial King might not be able to withstand the blood-burning speed of this True Art of Burning Blood Fury…
Once used, it meant going all in—a true fight to the death!
But precisely because of this, it was enough to stir Su Xiaobai’s heart.
“I wonder which is faster… the recovery rate of a king-level recovery art, or the burn rate of this transcendent-grade technique?”
Su Xiaobai’s lips curled into a grin.
He immediately began reading the [True Art of Burning Blood Fury].
A moment later…
“Ding! [True Art of Burning Blood Fury] has reached the highest level!”
Another burst of profound, esoteric information surged through his mind.
“Burn Blood!”
Boom!!!!
The moment Su Xiaobai activated the True Art of Burning Blood Fury, an overwhelming torrent of blood qi burst from his body!
The berserk, vicious energy soared straight into the sky—stretching a thousand meters tall!
Su Xiaobai’s entire body was enveloped in blood qi mist, his eyes turning into demonic ‘blood pupils’ full of merciless coldness!
In that moment, Su Xiaobai looked like a being who had walked out from the hells of a mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
Just one glance at him from afar was enough to chill one’s soul!
“Virtual Network, next floor!”
Su Xiaobai’s voice was icy, devoid of emotion.
As soon as the words fell, the scene of the 103rd floor appeared.
Day turned to night.
Deserts turned into oceans.
A man carrying a crescent-shaped weapon stood on the water’s surface, coldly gazing at Su Xiaobai.
There was no aura coming from his body.
Not even a trace of life force could be sensed— as if he didn’t exist at all…
Even with Su Xiaobai’s enhanced spatial awareness from the burst of blood qi, he could only barely detect a faint trace of Second-tier Martial King-level aura!
Whoosh!
A dense black mist suddenly erupted from the man’s body…
A dark-element technique!
Su Xiaobai’s lips curled again, his blood pupils brimming with violent intent—he swung his blade directly!
A battle between Second-tier Martial Kings— was about to erupt!
