Chapter 105: A New Method to Assault the Tower

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: A New Method to Assault the Tower

"Come then, let me see what’s so special about this so-called Soldier?"

Ling Chen’s fighting spirit surged explosively.

Spiritual Power swept out from within his body; with a point of his foot, he immediately charged towards the Soldier in the center of the first floor of the True Martial Tower.

"Cloud Mist Palm!"

Ling Chen unleashed a low-grade Body Technique Xuanling Technique.

The Soldier seemed to sense Ling Chen’s threat too, its enormous fist hurtling towards Ling Chen, exuding dazzling white light!

"Bang!"

Fist and palm collided, emitting a dull thud.

Ling Chen’s figure was then blasted backwards.

In the first exchange, Ling Chen suppressed his Spiritual Power to the late first level of the Spirit Sea Realm, and did not gain any advantage.

"Is this the power of the Spirit Array?"

Ling Chen’s eyes shone brightly.

During the exchange, his Divine Soul Telekinesis clearly sensed the flow of Spiritual Power within the Soldier’s body.

Moreover, when the Spiritual Power flowed into the Soldier’s fist, its power instantly increased substantially.

It actually matched a Xuanling Technique!

The so-called Spirit Art, bluntly put, is just temporarily condensing and enhancing Spiritual Power.

Condensed Spiritual Power naturally carries greater might.

Different Spirit Arts have various grades because of the different degrees to which they can amplify Spiritual Power.

It is also for this reason that Artifact Refiners and Spirit Array Masters wish to use such methods to create Soldiers.

"Boom!"

After one strike, the Soldier didn’t pause at all, it stomped fiercely on the ground and charged towards Ling Chen again.

Another punch came thundering over.

Soldiers are created specifically for battle; once they start, what follows is an endless barrage of attacks.

Unless, you can defeat it or wait until its Spiritual Power is exhausted.

The so-called Spiritual Power is, in fact, the result of the transformation of Spirit Stones within the body through a Spirit Array.

Hence, the foundation of a Soldier’s ability to battle rests on Spirit Stones and Spirit Arrays.

Watching the fist that rapidly enlarged before his eyes, Ling Chen moved his feet, instantly executed the Cloud Smoke Step, and appeared behind the Soldier.

"Ding!"

His punch blasted out, striking the back of the Soldier, emanating a crisp sound of metal clashing.

"Indeed, its defense is formidable!"

Ling Chen slightly smiled.

The Soldier’s body was forged from special materials; it could not be destroyed by anyone below the Primordial Pill Realm.

Unconcerned with defense, the Soldier continued its relentless assault on Ling Chen.

"Ding ding ding!"

The ceaseless clanging resounded, as Ling Chen deployed a low-grade movement technique Xuanling Technique to contend with the Soldier.

Merely a first-rank Soldier comparable to the late first level of the Spirit Sea Realm, Ling Chen harbored no fear. Had he used his real strength, he would have already defeated it.

Time slowly trickled by, and a hundred breaths passed in a blink of an eye.

The first floor of the True Martial Tower remained unlit.

"What’s going on?"

"No way, he’s having this much trouble against a first-rank Soldier?"

"Isn’t he supposed to be capable of defeating Bai Wentian?"

...

The Outer Court disciples wore faces of disbelief.

"Ha ha, revealed his true colors, eh? It takes him this long to deal with a first-rank Soldier?"

Su Qingyun’s face showed a triumphant hue.

He had passed the first six levels of the True Martial Tower with just one move for each fight, spending no more than ten breaths of time.

Compared to him, Ling Chen seemed like a firefly against the shining moon!

"Merely a paper tiger!"

Many core disciples scoffed in derision.

That day, Ling Chen’s victory over Su Qingyun had astounded them.

Three months had passed, and Ling Chen had become indistinguishable from the masses!

Both the Black Robed Elder and the Blue-robed Deacon were also full of puzzlement, completely unaware of why Ling Chen needed so much time to deal with a first-rank Soldier.

Little did they know, Ling Chen was simply curious about the Soldier, wanting to study it for a bit!

"Such rich Spiritual Energy, it must be a top-grade Spirit Stone, right?"

Ling Chen turned his gaze towards the abdomen of the Soldier.

There, should be the core of the Soldier.

Every time they clashed, Ling Chen could sense the flow of Spiritual Power within the Soldier, emanating from somewhere before coursing through its limbs.

"Bang!"

With that thought, Ling Chen no longer held back his strength, gathering Spiritual Power comparable to the initial seventh layer of the Spirit Sea Realm in his right hand, and then struck out with a palm.

The Soldier was directly repelled several meters, its body shining brightly before returning to the central position, motionless.

Clearly, this Soldier had been defeated.

"They say Soldiers are indestructible, right?"

Ling Chen’s lips curled into a smile.

A current of Divine Soul Telekinesis surged from the Heavenly Spirit, entering directly into the Soldier’s body.

"Break!"

With a move of his mind, Ling Chen directed the Divine Soul Telekinesis to attack a Spirit Array.

This Spirit Array was known as the Spirit Transformation Array.

It converted the Spiritual Energy in Spirit Stones into a form similar to the Spiritual Power within a Cultivator’s body, serving as the source of the Soldier’s Spiritual Power.

Should this Spirit Array be destroyed, then the Soldier would have no Spiritual Power to use, reducing it to a pile of scrap metal.

"Hum!"

Under attack, the Spirit Array inside the Soldier suddenly lit up, resisting Ling Chen’s Divine Thought Attack.

"Dare to resist?"

Ling Chen smiled slightly, sending three currents of Divine Soul Telekinesis towards the same spot.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the Spirit Array was shattered.

Ling Chen’s Divine Soul had reached the mid-phase of the Solid Realm, and in terms of the power of Divine Soul Telekinesis, it was even comparable to the Divine Soul of an ordinary Divine Thought Master at the late phase of the Solid Realm.

This Soldier was originally a product of the cooperation between a second-order Artifact Refiner and a second-order Spirit Array Master.

At the second-order level, speaking in terms of Divine Soul, it was only a mid-grade Divine Thought Master, scarcely different from Ling Chen’s current level of Divine Soul cultivation.

"Bang!"

Ling Chen struck out again with a palm, sending the Soldier flying several meters.

Without the support of Spiritual Power, the Soldier finally fell to the ground, no different from disused scrap metal.

"Haha! It worked indeed!"

Ling Chen was overjoyed.

Now that he knew the weakness of the Soldiers, why would he need to waste his Spiritual Power?

He could just as well use Divine Soul Telekinesis to destroy it from the inside!

Then, Ling Chen dragged the Soldier over and placed it back in the central position.

"Second floor!"

Ling Chen lifted his foot and walked towards the second floor.

...

Outside the True Martial Tower.

"It’s lit up!"

Someone exclaimed.

It took Ling Chen more than two hundred breaths to finally break through the first floor of the True Martial Tower.

The Black Robed Elder and the Blue-robed Deacon watched this scene, not sure what to say.

In the history of the tests, the first and second floors of the True Martial Tower were entirely for the disciples to practice on.

They would typically take no more than twenty breaths.

But Ling Chen? He had taken two hundred breaths!

"Heh, it took him so long to deal with a first-order Soldier, I’m afraid he won’t even be able to defeat a second-order one,"

Su Qingyun’s ridicule was unmistakable.

Initially, Ling Chen had defeated him twice, bringing him great humiliation.

However, in a mere three months, the tables had turned!

He reached the seventh floor of the True Martial Tower in less than two hundred breaths, while it took Ling Chen longer to clear one floor than it took him for the entire tower.

Such a person was destined for limited achievements!

He would likely spend his life only as an outer sect disciple!

If they were to face each other again, he believed he could easily defeat Ling Chen!

But as soon as his words fell, the second floor of the True Martial Tower also lit up.

"So fast!"

Exclamations erupted from the crowd.

The second floor, Ling Chen took five breaths?

"How is that possible?"

The smile on Su Qingyun’s face instantly froze.

Just then, the third floor of the True Martial Tower lit up.
