Chapter 351: Jiang Ming Climbs the Tower, Revealing His Early Prominence!

Amidst his surprise, Jiang Yan could not help but feel a deep surge of doubt.

What secret could this massive tower possibly hold, requiring the use of a Sacred-tier array?

Jiang Yan's eyes grew thoughtful, his curiosity intensifying.

But just then.

A sudden, unusually loud commotion arose beside him!

Jiang Yan frowned.

He immediately stilled his mind and turned toward the source of the noise, wanting to see what was happening.

Soon, the scene ahead came into view.

There, a young clansman had placed his right palm upon the stone statue of a strange beast at the entrance.

Simultaneously, radiant light spilled everywhere, and a colossal screen materialized in midair, visible to all!

The images on the screen were crystal clear, allowing everyone to see them distinctly!

Tower Challenge Rankings (not ordered by cultivation base; combat rating calculated according to maximum combat potential at current realm):

One: 【Ninth Floor】 Jiang Daoxuan — Combat Rating: Nine-Star Ultimate!

Two: 【Sixth Floor】 Jiang Ming — Combat Rating: Six-Star Ultimate!

Three: 【Sixth Floor】 Jiang Yan — Combat Rating: Six-Star Ultimate!

Four: 【Sixth Floor】 Jiang Zhiwei — Combat Rating: Six-Star Ultimate!

Five: 【Sixth Floor】 Jiang Hao — Combat Rating: Six-Star Strong!

Six: 【Sixth Floor】 Jiang Yi — Combat Rating: Six-Star Strong!

Seven: 【Fifth Floor】 Jiang Hongguang — Combat Rating: Five-Star Ultimate!

Eight: 【Fifth Floor】 Jiang Daoyun — Combat Rating: Five-Star Medium!

Nine: 【Fourth Floor】 Jiang Daode — Combat Rating: Four-Star Medium!

Ten: 【Fourth Floor】 Jiang Daoqi — Combat Rating: Three-Star Medium!

A dense list of names.

Only a handful were on the first floor.

Most were on the second floor.

The third floor was extremely rare.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan's gaze flickered, and he instantly understood.

"My maximum combat potential is only equivalent to Six-Star?"

He had thought his martial arts and techniques made him unmatched among peers.

Yet he never imagined there were three higher tiers above him: Seven-Star, Eight-Star, and Nine-Star!

Even more striking was that the gaps between tiers were not small — quite the opposite, they were enormous!

After days of observation, he had fully grasped his father's strength level.

Though his realm matched his own, his father could still defeat him with a single blow.

Yet even that was judged by the clan tower as Five-Star combat potential!

Clearly, the gap was immense!

If a Seven-Star combatant fought him,

it would be just like his father fighting him — either defeated in one blow, or barely holding out for a few strikes.

Realizing this, Jiang Yan instantly grasped the terrifying nature of his clan chief.

If the clan chief were at the same realm, he could not withstand even one strike.

That gap was like a heavenly chasm — utterly uncrossable.

At this moment, Jiang Yan gained a completely new understanding of the distance between himself and the clan chief.

Yet with pressure came motivation.

"Nine-Star? That goal is too difficult."

"For now, I'll aim for Seven-Star first!"

Though he could hardly surpass the clan chief in cultivation base or combat potential,

he refused to be left so far behind that he could no longer even see the clan chief's back.

Afterwards, once he had calmed his emotions,

Jiang Yan turned his gaze back to the clan tower rankings.

Looking at Jiang Ming's name, he felt a flicker of confusion.

"Jiang Ming? Who is this person? I've never heard of him before — yet he's ranked above me?!"

Jiang Yan was intensely curious.

This man had previously been utterly unknown.

Only now, having cleared the sixth floor of the clan tower and securing second place, had he made a stunning debut!

Surely, it would not take long.

His name would echo across the entire Cangwu Mountain, making every clansman aware of him!!

Just as Jiang Yan was thinking this,

Zhou Lao inside the ring wore a grave expression, his eyes filled with shock and doubt.

He had personally trained Jiang Yan for several months.

As his master, he naturally knew just how extraordinary his disciple's combat potential was.

Even in the place he had once come from, he was an extraordinary genius.

To compete for the position of Sacred Site's Sacred Son is not an impossible dream!

Yet, such a powerful prodigy could only reach the sixth level inside the ancestral tower?

Even more terrifying is that there are four more clan members with potential equal to Jiang Yan's!

Add to that the Jiang Chen you once saw, and that strange brat Jiang Han.

That's already six in total!

And this is only what's visible on the surface—who knows how many geniuses remain hidden within the Jiang clan!

Judging by this, if I were to enter and test myself, I'd probably max out at five-star combat power.

Think about it—Jiang Yan's strength could only reach the sixth level.

What kind of hellish difficulty must the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels be?!

If not for the Jiang Clan Chief's name appearing on the rankings, Zhou Lao would have thought the nine-star combat power was merely a figment of imagination.

Then, upon deeper reflection, the thought became terrifying, and he dared not pursue it further.

He could only sigh inwardly.

The Jiang Clan Chief is truly a reincarnated Great Emperor who has awakened his memories.

His strength and depth are utterly beyond ordinary comparison.

At this moment, Jiang Yan, his fighting spirit soaring, hurried toward the entrance of the ancestral tower.

He needed to use the ancestral tower to continuously hone his martial techniques and, incidentally, surpass Jiang Ming!

If Jiang Chen surpassed him, he wouldn't care.

But to be surpassed by this Jiang Ming, who appeared out of nowhere—

How could a boy still young at heart bear it?

Deep down, he still felt a twinge of resentment.

If I'm surpassed, then I'll surpass them again!

As Jiang Yan reentered the ancestral tower, a new round of training began.
