Chapter 14

"Name, affiliation."

On the first floor of the Exuvia Tower, the deacon in charge of guarding had long noticed Gu Chen at the door and inquired as usual.

"Gu Chen, tenth peak of the outer sanctum."

The deacon immediately flipped through the outer sanctum booklet. There was detailed information on every disciple.

"Hmm?" When he found Gu Chen's name, he immediately frowned and looked displeased.

"According to the registration, you just entered the outer sanctum a week ago, and now you want to challenge the Exuvia Tower?"

He was a little angry. Although the standard to enter the inner sanctum was to reach the seventh level of the mortal body, there were often outer sanctum disciples who thought they could get lucky and pass the Wooden Dummy Stage.

These kinds of disciples were the most annoying. They were too ambitious and even needed him to save them when they were injured.

He was only at the fourth level of the mortal body a week ago, and now he wanted to enter the Exuvia Tower. He was obviously making fun of him!

"My cultivation has already reached the fourth level."

Gu Chen explained. Seeing that the deacon was still sullen, he could not help but look around and soon found the gravity scale standing in the corner.

"Go back to where you came from. I don't have time …"

The deacon impatiently wanted to chase Gu Chen away, but he stopped when he saw him walking towards the gravity scale.

Gu Chen walked to the front of the gravity scale and stomped on it with his heel. A clean left hook smashed on the gravity scale!

Boom!

The weight on the gravity scale shot up. 0,555 kg, 1,555 kg, 2,555 kg …

When it reached the top, the weight actually broke free from the scale and rushed to the roof, smashing a small hole!

"0,555 kg in one punch?"

The deacon gasped and looked at it in disbelief.

The Exuvia Tower's gravity scale could only measure a maximum of 65,555 kg. A disciple who just entered the seventh level of the mortal body would at most have a strength of 9,555 kg. This scale was more than enough.

But who would have thought that the skinny youth in front of him could actually smash the scale with a single punch!

"His strength actually exceeded 0,555 kg."

Gu Chen looked at the exploding gravity scale and was delighted. The increase in strength after the advancement was greater than he had imagined.

"I can challenge now, right?"

He turned around and glanced at the deacon. Seeing that the deacon was in a daze, he didn't say anything else and went straight up to the second floor.

This time, the deacon did not stop him. He had already walked in front of the gravity scale. He touched it left and right, wondering if the scale was broken.

The Exuvia Tower only had two floors in total. The second floor was the three hundred wooden puppets.

As soon as Gu Chen entered, he saw 855 formidable wooden puppets holding steel swords in their hands.

"Ha!"

As soon as someone stepped into the designated area, the formations inside the three hundred wooden puppets were all activated. They stepped out in unison and assumed their sword stances!

Every one of them was equivalent to an outer sect disciple with a Physical Body Tier 0 and a small success in sword arts. Their combined strength was not to be underestimated.

The criteria to pass the Exuvia Tower was very simple. There was no need to defeat all three hundred wooden dolls, and there was no time limit either. As long as one could pass this place and enter the Dustless Valley from the other side of the stairs, it would be considered a success.

This distance was about a hundred meters. It was not difficult for a disciple who had stepped into the 2th Tier of the Fleshly Body to do this.

Based on the speed at which a disciple passed through, one could also roughly gauge how strong a disciple's potential was.

"Using a sword? Just what I wanted."

Looking at the three hundred wooden dolls, Gu Chen unsheathed the iron sword at his waist and rushed out!

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

A continuous stream of sword light surged out like a tidal wave. The wooden dolls swung their swords at the same time. They had great teamwork and formed a perfect sword net with every three steps.

Gu Chen dodged two swords that approached him. He casually used the 69th sword style of the Shadowless Sword and pierced through the chest of a wooden doll.

Crack.

The wooden doll's body immediately cracked!

He had cultivated the Purple Extreme Eyes, and he could see the weak points of the wooden doll with a single glance. He attacked its vital points, and the effect was immediate.

The other wooden dolls immediately thrust their swords over. Swoosh! Thousands of sword shadows appeared.

Gu Chen's body made a strange metal stool and dodged it. He then used his sword art as he pleased.

Bang.

He casually destroyed another wooden doll!

"It's too easy for me to pass this wooden doll barrier. I don't even need ten breaths."

The forty two moves of the Shadowless Sword Art were freely used in Gu Chen's hands. Even in battle formations, it was easy.

If he wanted to pass, it was very easy to do.

However, it was rare to have three hundred wooden dolls that were skilled in sword arts to practice with him. Gu Chen suddenly had an idea.

He had already mastered the forty two moves of the Shadowless Sword. Recently, he had started to study the next level of the Void Sword Art.

The Void Sword Art only had seven moves in total. It was based on the foundation of the Shadowless Sword, turning complexity into simplicity, pursuing speed.

Void, because it was so fast that it could ignore distance in space, it was given such a name.

This level was different from the Shadowless Sword. The effect of one person practicing the sword was very weak. It was best to have a suitable opponent.

There were so many wooden dolls that were skilled in sword arts. If he missed this village, he wouldn't get another. Gu Chen thought, and decided to use them to practice his sword!

Woosh!

Gu Chen's sword move changed. The sword moves that needed to be split up merged into one, and his speed instantly increased.

Clang! Clang!

The wooden dolls' sword moves were large and uniform, and they fought with him as an equal.

"Haha, come on!"

Gu Chen laughed loudly. His legs kicked out, and the sword moved with his heart!

…

"It has been three days, and that brat Gu Chen still hasn't come out from the Exuding Tower."

In the Dustless Valley, many disciples gathered together early in the morning, whispering to each other.

Three days ago, when Gu Chen entered the Exuding Tower, he had attracted a lot of attention.

According to past experience, if Gu Chen couldn't pass the wooden dolls, he would come out in half a day at most. If he could pass it, he would enter the Dustless Valley in four hours at most.

When passing the wooden dolls, the shorter the time, the more powerful and talented one was.

The current record holder for passing the wooden dolls was Ye Qingshuang. At that time, she had only used twelve breaths to pass the wooden dolls.

An ordinary inner disciple could pass it in about two hours.

However, Gu Chen was different. From the moment he stepped into the Exuding Tower, he actually stayed for three days in a row. He was a weirdo that the Dustless Sect had never seen before.

Three days!

How could an ordinary Physique Realm Seven take so long!

Therefore, Gu Chen became famous again. Many people were waiting with a mocking attitude, curious about how long he would need to pass the wooden dolls.

"Tsk, I was shocked when I heard that Gu Chen was going to enter the inner sect. I guess he is overestimating himself."

Han Dongliang and the other four outer sect tyrants stood together. All of them had injuries on their bodies and were covered in bandages.

"Gu Chen is just unhappy about being dumped by Ye Qingshuang, so he is trying to use this method to attract her attention. What a joke. Why doesn't he take a piss and look in the mirror to see how big the gap is between him and her. "

Hong Kuan, who had been kicked down the steps in front of the Technique Chamber by Gu Chen, was also here. He said sarcastically.

He was even worse than the other four. His face still looked as if he didn't care for his parents, and his legs were still stiff.

"Actually, he is already very close to Ye Qingshuang. One is the fastest in passing, and the other is last!"

Another person said. The others immediately burst into laughter, feeling that they had vented a lot of their anger.

"Dongliang, I don't think we should wait anymore. He most likely won't come out. I don't have time to waste here."

The only uninjured youth in the crowd said with a displeased expression.
