Chapter 30

The entire place was silent as they stared at the broken Rising Dragon Orifice Pagoda in shock.

All 755 Orifice Stones had lit up. Such a thing had never happened since the Wuchen Sect's Rising Dragon Ceremony.

The person who had created this miracle was Gu Chen, whom everyone had looked down on.

Compared to him, the 653 stones set by Ye Qingshuang's Martial Sage Physique seemed overshadowed and weak.

"Is this the trash you were talking about?"

Xu Yun looked at the Grand Elder and couldn't help but ask.

"All 755 Orifice Stones lit up, and this might not be the limit. Even in the Central Empire, where there are many geniuses, there aren't many who can do this," Wu Mo murmured.

Wu Mo murmured. His face was burning.

She had just ridiculed the Eastern Continent's cultivation level. She didn't expect the person she had ridiculed to slap her in the face …

The Grand Elder was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what he had just seen.

The Sect Master and the leaders of the other sects weren't any better. They just felt that it was too unbelievable.

"This … this is bad! The Rising Dragon Orifice Pagoda must be broken! "

"Qingshuang has the Martial Sage Physique, and that Gu Chen is nothing. How can he be more powerful than her?"

After a long while, the Great Elder said excitedly, his voice rather loud.

Broken?

When these words entered everyone's ears, they couldn't help but lower their heads in contemplation.

It was not impossible, as all the Orifice Stones on the Orifice Pagoda had shattered after Gu Chen made his move. It did seem like that was the case.

"So the Orifice Pagoda is broken. That scared me!"

"Gosh, I really thought that Senior Sister Ye had lost!"

There was an uproar on the drill ground. Compared to the shocking truth, the Grand Elder's words were more convincing.

The uproar made Ye Qingshuang, who was pale, recover. She took a deep look at Gu Chen.

"You were just lucky earlier. The next round will be the sound of the hammer. You will naturally show your true colors."

She regained her confidence and turned to walk away, but her footsteps were obviously a little hurried.

"Broken?"

Gu Chen smiled faintly as he listened to the countless doubts.

Whether it was broken or not, they would know in a while!

"Alright, everyone, quiet down. Let the next round begin."

Sect Master Wang Yuezhi appeared and quickly suppressed the commotion of the disciples as he announced. "Upper Voiceless Boomerang!"

The ceremony finally returned to normal. A total of twelve disciples joined hands and struggled to carry a brown bell as they walked into the drill ground.

In the second round, Hammer Sound Test, simply put, it was a competition of strength.

The greater the potential of one's physical body, the more terrifying the power one would possess.

The purpose of the second round was actually the same as the first round, which was to screen out the disciples with the most potential.

At this moment, after the first round of the competition, nearly three-quarters of the inner sect disciples had been eliminated, and the top ten inner sect disciples were ready to emerge.

The Voiceless Boomerang Bell was made of a special metal. It was extremely heavy and could be used to accurately judge a person's strength.

Under normal circumstances, a punch with a force of 65,555 Jin could only ring the Voiceless Boomerang once.

The more astonishing the power, the more times the bell would ring.

The twelve disciples strenuously carried the Voiceless Boomerang to the original location of the Rising Dragon Orifice Tower. This round of the competition had officially begun.

Since many people had been eliminated, the process of the competition was much faster this time.

Gu Chen retreated to the edge, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked coldly at the disciples.

He had already become the center of attention. Although most people felt that the Rising Dragon Orifice Tower was just an accident, a small portion of them felt that it was not. They looked at him with respect and expectation.

"Is the Orifice Tower really broken? Sect Master Wang, Elder Tao, the quality of the things here is really bad. "

On the grandstand, Wu Mo in a purple robe mocked coldly.

Wang Yuezhi's face was full of awkwardness.

He wanted to say that the Rising Dragon Orifice Tower would be inspected before it was used, so it should not be broken. However, he could not refute Great Elder Tao Yu's words.

"It would be great if it wasn't broken. That way, the school would be able to recruit another genius."

Xu Yun shook her head regretfully.

Almost everyone agreed with Great Elder's words. This was the most reasonable explanation.

After all, his talent was strong enough to destroy the Ascending Dragon Orifice Pagoda. This was too shocking.

"It's not broken. It must be true!"

Behind the Sect Master of the Purple Cloud Sect, Lu Yichen mumbled softly and clenched her fists.

Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Gu Chen, who was on the drill ground, with admiration in her eyes.

Only she knew how much effort he had put in for this day.

Even now, when she thought of the scars all over his body, she felt shocked.

"Yichen, is that the young man who saved you?"

Sect Master Lu Yonghao asked in a low voice.

Lu Yichen nodded heavily.

"Not simple. It seems that the second round is worth looking forward to." He sighed.

...

"Clang, clang, clang —"

Lei Wenbai punched out, and the Clear Sound Return Bell shook, ringing three times in a row.

"As expected of Senior Brother Lei. One punch has the strength of 85,555 catties!"

Many disciples exclaimed. Before Great Senior Brother Lei made his move, many of the disciples on the field could not even make the Return Bell ring once.

A normal Ninth Realm Physique Cultivator would be lucky to have the strength of 65,555 catties. There were many who were slightly weaker.

However, Senior Brother Lei's strength had increased by three times. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort.

Lei Wenbai's smile widened as he listened to the praises of the people around him. He looked at Ye Qingshuang with anticipation.

Although Junior Sister Ye had the Martial Sage Physique, he was still a man. He had also put in a lot of effort into improving his physical strength. He could not possibly be left behind by her in this aspect, could he?

If he performed better than her in this round, he might even be recognized by the teachers of the True Martial Arts Academy.

As he thought about this, he glanced at Gu Chen in the distance.

This young man had given him a big scare. He wondered how he would perform against the Clear Sound Return Bell.

After Lei Wenbai made his move, the people behind him did not perform as well as he did. In fact, the gap was not small.

Soon, there were only two people left who had not made their moves.

These two people were the ones that everyone was looking forward to the most.

"It's Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang again! I wonder if Gu Chen can create another miracle this time? "

"Pfft. Do you think the Clear Sound Return Bell will be broken this time? His luck is at an end! "

The crowd was in a heated discussion. There were all kinds of opinions.

Ye Qingshuang's face was as cold as ice. She glanced at Gu Chen and walked straight to the bell.

"Gu Chen, watch carefully. Luck won't be on your side this time …"

She murmured. She raised her Qi, exerted her strength, and threw a punch!

Her posture was as smooth as flowing water, revealing the unique heroism of a woman.

Boom —

As she threw a punch, the base of the Clear Sound Return Bell was shaken slightly off the ground. The bell swayed to an unprecedented degree!
