Chapter 117: Chapter 118: Breaking through the Road to Heaven (2nd Release) (Seeking Collection, Rewards, and Recommendations)

"With this True Martial Pill, next time I must challenge beyond the tenth level."

Su Hu held the True Martial Pill, stood up, and planned to leave.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Su Hu—it was the ancient Hall Master.

"Su Hu, would you like to become my disciple and join the Ancient Martial Hall?"

The Hall Master wasted no time with small talk.

"Is this the Hall Master of the Ancient Martial Hall?"

"Lucky him, Su Hu really struck it big by being favored by a Hall Master."

"The Ancient Martial Hall is among the top-ranked in the numerous halls within the Wusheng Academy."

"I..."

Upon seeing the Hall Master, Su Hu was initially startled then excitedly said,

"Disciple is willing."

Being able to become a disciple of a Hall Master and advance to the Inner Sect was indeed what all newcomers dreamt of.

"Good, from now on, you are a disciple of the Ancient Martial Hall and are promoted to the Inner Sect. Pack up your belongings and leave with your Master."

The Hall Master laughed heartily, fully satisfied to have gained such a satisfactory disciple.

"From today onward, Su Hu has ascended to the heavens in a single step."

"Indeed, now Su Hu is an Inner Sect Disciple. Having been nurtured by the Hall Master of the Ancient Martial Hall, his progress will surely be rapid."

Numerous Martial Artists said enviously.

Su Hu’s entry into the Ancient Martial Hall was also due to his outstanding performance, reaching the tenth level, which almost represented his ability to fight above his level.

"Next, Qu Wu Yin."

Without any hesitation, a white figure walked into the tower.

Qu Wu Yin was seen holding an ancient zither, and as the zither strings vibrated, the phantom images before her shattered.

The first ten levels were almost effortlessly passed by Qu Wu Yin.

In terms of strength, Qu Wu Yin, one of Jijing City’s four prodigies, made it to the fifteenth level before finally falling.

A female elder stepped forward and took Qu Wu Yin as a Disciple.

She, too, was promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple.

Both Ao Wuming and Lin Mozhu also entered and persisted until the sixteenth level before being defeated.

They too were taken away by two respective Hall Masters as new disciples.

Now, among all the newcomers, only Chu Fengmian remained.

"It’s finally this monster’s turn."

"I wonder how many levels this monster can reach. The original Zhi Lingtian set a record of forty-five levels on his first attempt on this Sky-reaching Path."

"I wonder what achievements Chu Fengmian will reach this time."

Numerous Martial Artists watched Chu Fengmian with anticipation.

Chu Fengmian was the only one who might possibly surpass Zhi Lingtian’s record.

Since Chu Fengmian had already broken two of Zhi Lingtian’s records, they were eager to see if he could break this third one.

"Hall Master Qin, Elder Mo, you all came too."

Not far away, several elders were talking to each other, their gazes already fixed on Chu Fengmian who was about to enter the Sky-reaching Path.

"Ha ha, this generation has produced a monstrous genius; how could I not come to see?"

Hall Master Qin laughed as he spoke.

"I heard that this lad has surpassed two of Zhi Lingtian’s records; maybe he is another Zhi Lingtian. I must see what kind of demon this kid is."

"Whether he is another Zhi Lingtian is still uncertain. Although Zhi Lingtian’s performance was spectacular during the entrance assessment, what truly made him powerful was his performance after entering the academy."

Another elder, Elder Mo Zhanglai, spoke.

"But indeed, Chu Fengmian is a remarkably outstanding genius,"

"Everyone seeks talent, and I, too, indeed wish to take on a disciple,"

"Oh? Elder Mo has even started to think about taking apprentices?"

Hall Master Qin said, somewhat surprised.

This Elder Mo had not taken any disciples for ten years, but now, because of Chu Fengmian, he had thought about taking on disciples.

"Of course, but rumors are after all only rumors. We should first see what kind of strength Chu Fengmian really possesses."

Elder Mo said softly and then fell silent, focusing all his attention on Chu Fengmian.

Chu Fengmian had entered the first level of the Eternal Sky Path.

A shadow that looked exactly like Chu Fengmian had already formed.

Strength at the seventh level of Body Refining.

The realm was the same as Chu Fengmian’s, but although the realm was the same, the strengths were vastly different.

"Bang!"

Chu Fengmian, without any fancy moves, just clenched his right fist and threw a punch at the shadow.

The shadow of the first level shattered instantly.

Chu Fengmian moved to the second level with ease.

"Bang!"

It was almost the same punch as before. The shadow of the second level was easily broken by Chu Fengmian.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The third layer, the fourth layer, the fifth layer.

The shadows Chu Fengmian encountered along the way were almost all easily shattered by his punch.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Fengmian had reached the fifteenth level.

This fifteenth level was the limit that Qu Wuyin had just reached.

"Bang!"

Chu Fengmian threw another punch, vigorously smashing the shadow of the fifteenth level.

Under this punch, the shadow shattered violently without any resistance.

"What kind of monster is this Chu Fengmian, that even the shadow of the fifteenth level cannot withstand his punch?"

"Could his strength really be terrifying to such an extent?"

Initially, at the earlier levels, Chu Fengmian achieving this was not enough to surprise them, but this was already the fifteenth level.

Qu Wuyin, one of the four great geniuses, had been defeated at this level.

Yet, in front of Chu Fengmian, the shadow of the fifteenth level seemed like an ant, easily shattered by his punch.

From beginning to end, until now, Chu Fengmian reaching the fifteenth level had relied only on one punch.

He never made a second move.

"This Chu Fengmian, is truly a monstrous genius, and moreover, is extremely arrogant."

Elder Mo watched Chu Fengmian and said softly.

"In him, I see the once Zhi Lingtian’s shadow, similarly powerful, similarly monstrous, even more arrogant and self-confident than Zhi Lingtian!"

Elder Mo could tell that after Chu Fengmian threw the first punch, he stopped and did not bother to check the result.

This is a mindset that only those who have extreme confidence in their own strength possess.

In Chu Fengmian’s view, this Eternal Sky Path seemed to be such an easy task.

The hearts of everyone were filled with grief; what they considered difficult as climbing to the heavens, seemed effortless in Chu Fengmian’s hands.

"The sixteenth level."

As Chu Fengmian ascended each level, he would whisper to himself.

Was the record set by Zhi Lingtian just the forty-fifth level? Today, he, Chu Fengmian, was about to break this record.
