Chapter 292: The Breakthrough of the Five Heavenly Prides, Battle Sequence!
Everyone looked at the figure standing at the gate of the Martial Arts Tower, their eyes filled with respect.
A person challenging the Martial Arts Tower for the first time reached the seventy‑fifth floor on his first attempt, attaining the level of these Sequences.
He had completely shattered the entire Qianlong Academy's record.
In everyone's gaze toward Su Yu, there was an even more obsequious expression.
"After all, he's still this year's college entrance exam top scorer—just by passing the Martial Arts Tower on his first try, he actually refreshed the entire Qianlong Academy's record."
"Yeah, the seventy‑fifth floor—I'm afraid I might never be able to clear it in my lifetime."
"Tsk tsk tsk, comparing people really makes one angry—back when I first challenged the Martial Arts Tower, I had only cleared ten floors before getting stuck, and even now I've only managed twenty‑plus floors."
"Hahaha, that's hilarious."
Such remarks kept echoing around the Martial Arts Tower.
Su Yu came to Tian Ming's side, and Tian Ming chuckled as he spoke.
"After all, he's still the college entrance exam top scorer—when I first reached the seventy‑first floor, it took me a full two years, yet you surpassed me on your first attempt."
Su Yu shook his head and said.
"I was just lucky."
"Lucky?"
Tian Ming saw through but didn't expose it; as a Sequence, he naturally knew there was no such thing as luck in the Martial Arts Tower.
Even the phantom of that black‑clad youth cannot be matched by anyone of the same realm.
If one were to call it luck, that would be virtually impossible.
Su Yu's ability to clear the seventy‑fifth floor actually shows, in large part, how terrifying his current combat power is.
The Martial Arts Tower can become one of Qianlong Academy's three treasures not only because of the rewards after clearing it, but also because it is a direct display of combat power.
Moreover, within the Martial Arts Tower, one can even hone one's martial techniques.
Thus making one's combat power even stronger.
This is the effect of the Martial Arts Tower!
This is also why so many Qianlong Academy students are willing to go to the Martial Arts Tower.
After a brief chat, Su Yu bade farewell to Bei Chen and, together with Tian Ming, returned to the mountains.
Bei Chen watched Su Yu's retreating back, his fists unconsciously clenching.
Within those icy eyes, a feeling of excitement continually spread.
"Su Yu, wait. I will definitely surpass you!"
Bei Chen is the top heavenly pride of this generation in Modu, his heart exceedingly proud; ordinary people would not catch his eye.
Over the years, only two people have been remembered by Bei Chen.
One is Zhang Xiaobai, and the other is Su Yu.
Even on Bei Chen's martial path, Su Yu has already become the target to surpass.
Although Bei Chen clearly knows that, as time passes, this goal will grow ever more distant, it can also stimulate his boundless potential!
Gazing toward the mountains, Bei Chen murmured softly.
"Sequence…"
"Soon, it won't be long. Su Yu, we will eventually meet again in the mountains!"
Bei Chen murmured, then headed toward the dormitory.
This time, he intends to break through to the late stage of the Flying Heaven Realm!
After returning to the mountains, he bade farewell to Tian Ming, and Su Yu returned to his own cave dwelling.
He sat cross‑legged on the bed and took out the various spiritual medicines he had obtained in the Martial Arts Tower.
Twenty Heavenly Spirit Pills, twenty Profound Spirit Pills, two thousand Energy Stones, and one Low‑grade Astral Stone.
This is Su Yu's harvest from the Martial Arts Tower.
Although this is little compared to Su Yu's previous gains, for an ordinary student such resources are already abundantly rich!
Among them, the Heavenly Spirit Pill is for Martial Artists in the Organ Tempering Realm, while the Profound Spirit Pill is for the strong in the Golden Body Realm.
Su Yu smiled faintly and opened the Synthesis Slot system.
He synthesized the Heavenly Spirit Pills.
In the end he produced one Supreme Heavenly Spirit Pill and one Heaven Star Pill.
"Heaven Star Pill: taken by strong ones in the Star Core Realm, it can slightly increase Grandmaster's Power."
Afterward, Su Yu again repeated the synthesis of the twenty Profound Spirit Pills in his hand.
Finally he produced one Profound Star Pill and one Purple Gold Bright Moon Pill.
"Profound Star Pill: a variant of the Heaven Star Pill, it can greatly increase Grandmaster's Power for strong ones in the Star Core Realm."
"Purple Gold Bright Moon Pill: it greatly boosts Grandmaster's Power for strong ones in the Bright Moon Realm, and for strong ones in the Star Core Realm it has twice the effect with half the effort."
Looking at the pills he had just synthesized, Su Yu's eyes lit up slightly.
He recognized these three pills.
Especially the Purple Gold Bright Moon Pill—its price on the Martial Artists Association alone equals five thousand Energy Stones, and it is especially suited for strong ones in the Grand Master Realm.
Even if a Great Sun Grand Master strong one takes it, it can increase his Grandmaster's Power.
It counts as a supreme pill of the Transcendent Realm.
Who would have thought that synthesizing twenty Profound Spirit Pills could actually produce such a pill?
Su Yu smiled faintly.
"Next… it's time to charge into a new realm!"
Su Yu murmured softly, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
During that previous period, Su Yu's progress was not slow, but there were simply too many things.
And Su Yu had also seen far too many strong experts.
When facing those experts, Su Yu even deeply felt his own powerlessness.
Now, what Su Yu must do is expend all resources to help himself raise his realm.
At the very least... he must charge into the Bright Moon Realm!
Without any hesitation, Su Yu swallowed the Heaven Star Pill and the Mystic Star Pill in his hand in one gulp.
Now Su Yu, having broken through to Star Ancestor Master, requires far more resources for a breakthrough; these two pills are merely upon entry.
They were instantly pulled in by the Grandmaster's Power within Su Yu's dantian, vast as an ocean.
Merely within that ocean of Grandmaster's Power, tiny ripples arose.
Su Yu also had little worry; he continued to take out several Supreme Star Crystals and then placed the Purple Gold Bright Moon Pill into his mouth.
He began continuous cultivation.
Along with Su Yu's cultivation, the entire Qianlong Academy fell into a rare tranquility.
However, this tranquility was completely shattered after two months.
The five who entered together with Su Yu—Zhang Xiaobai and the others—all broke through, reaching the Star Ancestor Master realm.
Zhang Xiaobai, moreover, at the moment of breakthrough, a sword's cry echoed between heaven and earth; countless spiritual swords in Qianlong City trembled incessantly upon hearing that cry.
As if summoned, they surged forth toward the heavens, uncontrolled by their masters, and one after another bowed slowly to Zhang Xiaobai.
As if they were worshipping him as the mortal Sword Emperor.
Such disturbance even alarmed the King of Qianlong City, who revealed his true form and personally met Zhang Xiaobai.
Not only Zhang Xiaobai, but Beichen, Nan Shou Ren, Tang Nian Bing, and Wu Ling'er likewise displayed extraordinary phenomena when they broke through.
On the day Beichen broke through, the heavens seemed to suddenly darken, as myriad miles of black clouds covered the sky, blocking the sunlight.
Furthermore, torrential thunder rolled continuously within the heavy dark clouds.
It was truly a scene of destructive power.
When Nan Shou Ren broke through, the sky was cloudless for myriad miles, utterly peaceful, and myriad birds came to pay homage, continually gathering above the Qianlong Academy's firmament.
They emitted clear, harmonious sounds.
On the day Tang Nian Bing broke through, flurries of flying snow swept across heaven and earth; although it was still winter, Qianlong City lies on the Myriad Races Battlefield, which is not subject to normal seasonal control.
In Qianlong City, flying snow had not been seen for decades.
And when Tang Nian Bing broke through, the flying snow descended, crisscrossing heaven and earth.. c
On the day Wu Ling'er broke through, heaven and earth seemed to turn pink, and bewitching voices that captivated the heart rang out incessantly within Qianlong City.
Had it not been for the intervention of the King of Qianlong City, many of the city's soldiers and Qianlong Academy's students would have been affected by Wu Ling'er.
The five's breakthroughs seemed prearranged; as Zhang Xiaobai's phenomenon just faded, Beichen's phenomenon suddenly rose.
Such a state persisted for an entire day before gradually dissipating.
That day also became a date deeply etched in the memory of every future student of Qianlong Academy.
Heavenly Pride Day!
That day, the five Qianlong Heavenly Pride prodigies emerged abruptly, transcending the mundane and shocking the entirety of Daxia.
And at the instant the five broke through, they immediately took action.
Zhang Xiaobai stepped onto a flying sword and directly arrived among the mountains.
He let out a loud laugh.
"I, Zhang Xiaobai, today, challenge the Sixth Sequence!"
Not only Zhang Xiaobai, but Beichen and the others also spoke up in turn.
"Qianlong Beichen, today I challenge the Seventh Sequence!"
"Qianlong Nan Shou Ren, today I challenge the Eighth Sequence!"
"Qianlong Tang Nian Bing, today I challenge the Ninth Sequence!"
"Qianlong Wu Ling'er, today I challenge the Tenth Sequence!"
The five spoke in unison, their voices like thunderclaps, instantly echoing throughout the mountains.
Hearing their voices, the students of Qianlong Academy all stopped what they were doing and stared in shock toward the mountains.
"What... what is happening? How could five people suddenly want to challenge the Sequence?"
"Hiss, isn't that Zhang Xiaobai and company? They just broke through the Transcendent Realm and now they want to challenge the Sequence?"
"These guys, could it be that Su Yu's stimulation drove them mad, preparing to challenge the Sequence?"
Countless Qianlong Academy students were shaken, rushing toward the mountains to witness this unprecedented event at Qianlong Academy.
From within the mountains came waves of angry roars.
"Impudent!"
Mu Yun walked out from Peak Number Eight, glaring angrily at the five.
"When did the Qianlong Academy's Sequence become something you dare to provoke!"
Not only Mu Yun, but Shi Hu, Tian Ming, Yang Feng, and Mo Chen also stepped out, their faces grim.
This isn't a ranking tournament; just thinking of challenging the Sequence—never mind that Zhang Xiaobai and the others just broke through the Transcendent Realm.
Even those in purple robes who have long cultivated in the Transcendent Realm dare not say they would challenge them.
They must be underestimating them.
