Chapter 148

The two Xiantian Full Circle experts attacked fiercely, bringing with them a strong gust of wind.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Zi Chen's feet exuded a faint golden light. His figure was like a ghost, like a phantom, drifting unpredictably, as if he was switching between illusion and reality. He dodged the attacks of the two and stood on the fifth floor.

Zi Chen had practiced the support-type secret technique, so he deliberately concealed himself. He did not use the power of thunder and lightning. Instead, a faint golden light appeared.

"You?"

The expressions of the two Connate Full Circle experts instantly changed as they looked at Zi Chen in astonishment.

At the same time, the few Xiantian Realm experts who had reached the fifth floor were also shocked.

"He actually made it up."

"Reaching the fifth floor with speed is terrifying."

The experts could no longer remain calm. Relying on speed was indeed a small trick and could not represent one's true strength. However, a puny early-stage Xiantian Realm expert could rely on speed to dodge the attacks of two Xiantian Full Circle experts. This was enough to cause a commotion.

"He must have learned an extraordinary footwork."

"His body is nimble and ingenious. His footwork is not simple."

"It could be a kind of extreme speed footwork. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fast."

The Xiantian Realm experts on the fifth floor looked at Zi Chen with eager eyes. They were all thinking about what they would be like after they mastered extreme speed.

At the same time, many of them had perverted thoughts.

Zi Chen did not say anything. He only glanced at the sixth floor indifferently. It seemed that he was going to go up.

"What? He's going to go up?"

"Does he think that he can reach the sixth floor with speed?"

"The sixth floor is guarded by True Energy Realm experts. Although they only use 05% of their strength, it's not something that an early-stage Xiantian Realm expert can compare with."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen did not see Ling Yun along the way. Ling Yun was not on the sixth floor, so he must be on the seventh floor. Zi Chen had to go up.

"Whoosh!"

With a tap of his foot, his figure turned illusory as he charged upwards at top speed.

"Get down!"

The two True Element Boundary martial artists who were guarding at the top of the stairs suddenly let out an explosive shout. Immediately after, the two of them threw out their fists. Each of them had only used fifty percent of their strength, but when added together, it was a hundred percent of their strength. The two fists converged at the top of the stairs like a torrent, rushing straight up the stairs.

Boom!

The torrent continued to flow downwards, and visible to the naked eye, a wave of air rushed out.

"Humph! You think you can reach the sixth floor just by relying on speed? Dream on!"

"This kid's speed is pretty good, but it's not realistic for him to reach the sixth floor."

On the fifth floor, many people were already prepared to watch a good show. They were all sneering endlessly.

But when the flood appeared, everyone was dumbfounded.

The torrent appeared and filled the entire staircase. Not to mention one person, even a group of people would be sent flying.

However, at this moment, there was not a single figure within the surging torrent.

"How is that possible? Where is he?"

"Could it have been blasted into nothingness?"

"Impossible. It was just a test. There was no killing intent at all. How could it be blasted into nothingness? Could it be that he went up?"

Everyone's expression changed, and their eyes were filled with shock. If that was the case, then this kid's speed was too terrifying.

On the fifth floor, there was a commotion, but soon, there was a cry of surprise from the sixth floor.

"You actually came up?"

"When did you get behind us?"

This was the voice of a True Element Boundary martial artist. Previously, when the two of them attacked together, they clearly saw the other party in front of them. But in the next moment, the other party had silently appeared behind them.

"He really went up? Oh my god!"

"Even an early-stage Xiantian Realm martial artist went up with extreme speed. It seems like it's a supreme movement technique."

"It's definitely a mysterious movement technique. It's comparable to some great techniques."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they were all shocked.

On the sixth floor, it was empty. There were many martial artists, but none of them came up. Zi Chen glanced at the seventh floor and stepped up.

Thump!

Thump!

There were no strong cultivators guarding the seventh floor, so Zi Chen was able to pass through unimpeded.

On the seventh floor, some geniuses were chatting. They had been here for a long time, and were waiting for some geniuses to come up. But unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, no one came up.

"There are quite a number of Xiantian Realm martial artists here, but there are very few geniuses. Seems like we're doing something unnecessary." A young man in blue said indifferently.

This person was Wu Xiong, the disciple of the Martial Ancestor. He was the one who initiated the gathering of geniuses. After waiting for a long time, he was disappointed when no one came up.

"Let's wait a little longer." A young man in white said.

"Waiting is a waste of time. With talent, no background, no resources. Geniuses are also trash. I don't advocate this, but Cang He, you agree."

Another young man said in disdain. He sat there, looking at the sky with an arrogant look. He was Li Huo from the Li Family.

The three of them were the initiators of the gathering of geniuses. Beside them, there were a few other geniuses who remained silent.

"Not necessarily. Maybe there are one or two geniuses among these few thousand people."

The young man in white, Cang He, said indifferently. He was a member of the Cang Family and had a high status here. Beside him sat two ladies, one in white and the other in green. Both of them were beautiful and had an extraordinary aura.

"Geniuses. Which genius is not nurtured with resources? Without any resources, relying on oneself to cultivate, any genius will die prematurely." Li Huo curled his lips in disdain, looking very arrogant.

"Not necessarily. Recently, Zi Chen has been the talk of the town. Didn't he not have any resources?" Cang He laughed.

"Zi Chen?

The guy from the Nimbus Martial Ancestor, the one who offended the three forces and was forced to enter the Silent Jungle to die? "Li Huo curled his lips and said.

"That's right. Rumor has it that he's only in the Xiantian Realm, but he caused the three forces to suffer a great loss. I think Wu Xiong has the most right to speak about this matter!" Cang He said.

Everyone's gaze turned towards Wu Xiong. The Martial Ancestor had destroyed the Nimbus Martial Ancestor for a treasure. This was something that everyone knew. Moreover, the Nimbus Martial Ancestor was a branch of the Martial Ancestor. So what if it was destroyed? There was nothing wrong with it.

"What right do I have to speak? I haven't even seen him. However, the people from the Nimbus Martial Ancestor can speak. There are quite a few people here who are related to Zi Chen." Wu Xiong said in a sarcastic tone. He then looked to the side.

Not far away, Chen Feng was also here. When the Nimbus Martial Ancestor was attacked, he was lucky enough to survive and escape back to Cangli City.

Chen Feng glanced at the young man beside him and snorted. He said disdainfully, "Hmph, rumors can't be trusted. Zi Chen was unknown in the sect. I could crush him with a finger. Rumor has it that he caused the three forces to suffer a great loss. I'm the first one who doesn't believe it. Moreover, rumor has it that he killed a lot of True Energy Realm warriors.

That's ridiculous. "Chen Feng didn't have a good impression of Zi Chen. This time, he didn't hesitate to speak. As soon as he finished speaking, three dissatisfied gazes were cast towards him.

"Chen Feng, you're boasting too much. Who was the one who wanted to harm Zi Chen? He was locked up by the Disciplinary Hall Master. Even your second grandpa didn't succeed, right?"

A young man snorted. This person had small eyes and an ordinary appearance. If he hadn't suddenly spoken, no one would have noticed him at all.

"I have also seen Zi Chen before. He is just an ant that will not amount to much. Back then, I could have crushed him with a single finger. How can such a small fry cause the three factions to suffer losses? Rumours cannot be trusted." At this moment, Ling Yun, who was beside Chen Feng, also spoke out.

Ling Yun was the disciple of the Battle Martial Ancestor. He was the future sect leader of the Battle Martial Ancestor. At such a young age, he was already at the late Xiantian realm. Although he couldn't be compared to the other monstrous geniuses, he was still qualified to be called a genius and sit on the seventh floor.

Back in the Spiritual Herbal Garden, it was Zi Chen who ruined his plan and killed his brother. He was even punished by the sect. Therefore, he hated Zi Chen to the bone. Even if the other party was dead, he wouldn't say anything good about him.

"Boasting shamelessly. If you had the ability, you wouldn't have been locked up by the sect." The small-eyed young man snorted again.

Ling Yun and Chen Feng's eyes flashed coldly, but they didn't dare to do anything. They seemed to be afraid of the small-eyed young man's identity.

"Wu Hong, you've also seen Zi Chen that day. What's your impression of him?" Cang He looked at the silent Wu Hong in the distance.

Wu Hong was the disciple of the Xuan Martial Ancestor. He had been silent and easy-going. At this moment, he smiled faintly and said, "I've only met him once. There's nothing much to say. I've only heard about him from my junior brothers. He's bold, careful, and righteous. He can challenge people above his level. He should be considered a genius."

"Hmph, so what if he's a genius? Didn't he still die in the Silent Jungle?" Chen Feng snorted.

Ling Yun didn't look happy either. "Fortunately, he's dead. Otherwise, I'd have to settle a blood debt with him."

"You!" The small-eyed young man stood up angrily.

"He's just a dead man. Why hurt your feelings for him? We still need to rely on everyone for this trip to the ruins." Wu Xiong waved his hand.

Everyone kept silent. The atmosphere was awkward. Then, they talked about other geniuses.

"Thump thump!" "Thump thump!"

At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard.

"Someone's coming up?"

"Could it be that there's really a genius who can reach the sixth floor?"

The people who were chatting were very surprised, and their gazes all turned to the stairs.

Following the sound of footsteps, a young man in black appeared in front of everyone. He was short and had an ordinary appearance.

All geniuses had their own outstanding aspects. Furthermore, standing in the midst of a crowd, one would be able to notice them with a single glance. They were existences that stood out from the crowd. However, the young man before him was simply too ordinary. If he were to be placed in a crowd, no one would take a second look at him.

Everyone was stunned. They had never imagined that the genius who could reach the sixth floor would look like this.

After practicing the auxiliary secret manual, Zi Chen could change his appearance at will. Now that all the geniuses were gathered here, he changed his appearance into an ordinary one with an indifferent expression. However, just as he reached the seventh floor and saw the gazes of the crowd, Zi Chen's indifferent expression disappeared and his eyes flickered.

Zi Chen's calm eyes shone like the light of the sun, dazzling and resplendent. In the next instant, Zi Chen's aura also became chaotic. Boundless waves of energy surged out from his body.
