Chapter 3

And!

There were two chances to answer incorrectly?

"No problem!"

"In that case, are you ready?"

"Ready! Please, young hero, state the question!"

"Good!"

Jiang Chen gently closed the book in his hand and looked at the other person with a smile: "This young hero, may I ask..."

Looking at the other person’s full, joyful smile.

Jiang Chen did not hesitate and asked directly: "Please listen to the question! Under what circumstances would someone knock on your door, and you would absolutely not say 'please come in'?"

The man was stunned.

He had thought Jiang Chen would ask questions about the martial arts world, or at the very least, something related to Snow Moon City.

Who would have thought.

Jiang Chen would ask such a strange and bizarre question!

When would someone knock on your door, and you would absolutely not say "please come in"?

"When you're sleeping?"

"Incorrect!"

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head: "You still have two chances."

"I know!"

The man slapped his thigh: "When you're practicing martial arts! Is that it?"

"Also incorrect."

Seeing Jiang Chen reject his answer again, the man began to scratch his head in frustration.

About a minute later.

The man’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he wore a wicked grin: "So the young hero is a fellow traveler! Is it when you're doing *that* kind of thing? Did I guess right this time?!"

"What kind of thing?"

Jiang Chen looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"You know, *that* kind of thing!"

The man gestured wildly for a long time, and Jiang Chen finally understood.

And then.

He made a gesture to the other person.

See him out!

"As for the answer, once someone guesses it, you will naturally know."

"And what if no one can guess it?"

"If no one can answer it for seven consecutive days, I will naturally announce the answer!"

Jiang Chen did not tell him the answer immediately; after all, he still needed to use it to question other challengers.

Just as the man was walking down.

The long-lost system sound finally rang out again.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully stopping a challenger, obtaining the Immortal-grade technique 'Great Profound Scripture' and ten years of cultivation!"

Hearing the system's reward.

Jiang Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

"System, claim the reward!"

*Hum!!*

The next second.

A profound and incomparable technique appeared in Jiang Chen’s mind!

Because it was directly instilled by the system, Jiang Chen instantly grasped all of its contents.

Jiang Chen had, of course, heard of the 'Great Profound Scripture'.

As the saying goes, in the beginning, there was the Dao, the Dao was with God, the Dao of God is profound and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders.

In the martial arts systems of his previous life, although the 'Great Profound Scripture' was called a supreme martial art, many considered it a cultivation manual containing the laws of the Heavenly Dao!

It contained not only internal energy but also sword techniques, fist techniques, light-body techniques, and more!

And now.

What the system had rewarded him with was an enhanced version of the 'Great Profound Scripture'!

As Jiang Chen comprehended the 'Great Profound Scripture', the internal energy within his body immediately began to circulate on its own according to the scripture's trajectory.

*Dong—*

Jiang Chen’s cultivation.

Broke through consecutively, reaching the Seventh Grade Martial Artist level.

However.

This was clearly not the time to be happy.

Jiang Chen had not forgotten that the reward just now also included ten years of cultivation that he hadn't claimed yet.

"System, continue to claim the reward!"

*Boom!!*

As Jiang Chen claimed the cultivation, a massive surge of internal energy instantly merged into his body!

Jiang Chen’s aura.

Began to skyrocket in an instant!

Eighth Grade Martial Artist!

Ninth Grade Martial Artist!

Early Vajra Mortal Realm!

Mid Vajra Mortal Realm!

Great Perfection of the Vajra Mortal Realm!

Free Earth Realm!

Finally.

Jiang Chen’s aura settled at the mid-stage of the Free Earth Realm!

In an instant.

Jiang Chen had crossed two major realms and become a master of the Free Earth Realm!

If he remembered correctly.

In Snow Moon City, apart from the three City Masters and those elders, only Tang Lian had reached the Free Earth Realm.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Chen was filled with joy; if he weren't currently in the Ascension Pavilion, he would have burst into loud laughter.

Now that he had broken through to the Free Earth Realm.

He could already be considered a master in this martial arts world!

However.

Jiang Chen did not become arrogant.

Because he knew that this turmoil in the Beili martial arts world involved the succession of the throne.

Therefore.

Let alone the Free Earth Realm.

Even in the Unfettered Heaven Realm, one could lose their life if they were not careful!

On the other side.

Sun Sun Yunpeng, who had walked out of the Ascension Pavilion, was still bowing his head in thought, wondering what the answer to the question was.

Just then.

A group of people suddenly surrounded him.

"Brother Sun, looking at the light that just lit up, you reached the ninth floor. How was it? Was it difficult?"

"Little brother, is it true that you only need to defeat the pavilion guardian to enter the next floor?"

"..."

"Uh... it's not entirely martial combat."

Sun Sun Yunpeng thought for a moment.

And decided to tell them the question he had just been asked.

If no one could answer it, wouldn't he have to wait seven days to know the answer?

Sun Sun Yunpeng felt.

He couldn't wait even a moment longer!

This question was like a thorn stuck in his throat, making him incredibly uncomfortable.

Thinking of this.

He directly recounted what had happened on the ninth floor.

Suddenly.

The surroundings went quiet.

There was no martial combat on the ninth floor, only answering questions, and if you answered correctly, you passed?

It sounded simpler than martial combat.

It was just... why was the question so strange?

It had absolutely nothing to do with martial artists!

But soon.

Everyone began to bow their heads in thought.

Who cares what the question is? Since it was a question from Snow Moon City, there must be a correct answer.

If one could pass the ninth floor without fighting, wouldn't that be even better!

Soon.

The ninth floor of the Ascension Pavilion welcomed another challenger.
