Chapter 106: Chapter 106: The True Martial Bell Tolls (Third Update)

The fourth layer!

The fifth layer!

The sixth layer!

The seventh layer!

In less than twenty breaths of time, all seven layers of the True Martial Tower were illuminated.

Outside the True Martial Tower, everyone was dumbfounded, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence!

"How is this possible?"

Almost everyone had the expression of seeing a ghost.

The seventh layer!

The seventh layer of the True Martial Tower!

Even the top-tier core disciples took more than a hundred breaths to break through, yet Ling Chen did it in just a few breaths?

The Black Robed Elder and the Blue-robed Deacon’s eyeballs were about to pop out.

They had never seen a new disciple break through the seventh layer so quickly before!

And it was even an outer academy disciple who took two hundred breaths just to pass the first layer!

The combat soldiers in the seventh layer were comparable to the late seventh layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, and they practiced a top-grade Attack Profound Spirit Technique! To win in a single move, does that not mean Ling Chen possesses a strength comparable to the eighth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm?

A disciple who had only joined the Academic Palace for three months actually had the strength comparable to an inner academy disciple?

This felt like a dream!

However, it wasn’t over yet.

Five breaths later, the eighth layer of the True Martial Tower lit up again.

"The eighth layer?"

All the disciples watching the True Martial Tower were completely baffled.

Ling Chen passed the eighth layer?

The eighth layer that even the core disciples couldn’t do?

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Su Qingyun clenched his fists, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.

How could he believe that an outer academy disciple had defeated an eighth-order soldier?

He had fought with an eighth-order soldier before.

That was a being comparable to the eighth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, and they also practiced top-grade attack and Body Technique Xuanling Techniques!

He was no match for them!

Yet, Ling Chen passed the eighth layer within five breaths?

Didn’t that mean that Ling Chen’s strength was comparable to the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!

The ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm was the standard for inner academy disciples to be promoted to core disciples.

Apart from those with Spiritual Bodies, all other disciples can only be promoted to core disciples once they reach the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, enjoying the most elite treatment of the disciples.

Ling Chen, a guy without even cultivation talent, actually qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with a genius like him?

Just when everyone was shocked beyond measure, the ninth layer of the True Martial Tower lit up.

Then, the True Martial Tower was enveloped in a dazzling light!

"Dong!"

The distant sound of a bell rang out.

"Clearing the True Martial Tower!"

The Black-robed Elder was incredibly excited.

He didn’t expect such an assessment would allow him to witness the presence of an unparalleled genius!

"Dong!"

The second bell chimed.

"Dong!"

...

Soon, the sound of nine bell chimes echoed and reverberated throughout the True Martial Academy, and only after a full quarter of an hour did the bell sounds dissipate.

"The True Martial Bell is chiming?"

At this moment, the entire True Martial Academy was boiling with excitement, and everyone rushed towards the True Martial Tower.

"Shoop shoop shoop!"

Beams of light flew out from the central palace and landed in front of the True Martial Tower.

"Palace Master!"

"Vice Palace Master!"

"Great Elder!"

...

One by one, distinguished figures that were hard to see on regular days appeared en masse beneath the inner palace’s True Martial Tower.

"Who is in the tower?"

A middle-aged man in a golden robe looked towards the Black-robed Elder and asked.

This person was none other than the Palace Master of the True Martial Academy, Mo Han.

Upon hearing this, the three Vice Palace Masters and dozens of Elders all turned their gaze towards the Black-robed Elder.

"Reporting to the Palace Master, the person inside the tower is named Ling Chen, an Outer Court disciple!"

The Black Robed Elder spoke respectfully and promptly.

"What? An Outer Court disciple?"

Mo Han and other high-ranking officials of the academy all showed an incredulous expression.

They had thought that the genius who triggered the ringing of the True Martial Bell would surely be a core disciple. Yet, to their surprise, it turned out to be an Outer Court disciple!

"Vice Palace Master Wu, could you explain this?"

Mo Han turned towards a man dressed in a silver robe.

This man in the silver robe was none other than Ling Wu’s master, the Vice Palace Master who summoned Ling Chen.

The recruitment of new disciples this term was managed by Vice Palace Master Wu.

A genius capable of causing the True Martial Bell to ring would have at least been at the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, right? Such a prodigy, yet merely an Outer Court disciple, he could only ask Vice Palace Master Wu for an explanation.

Wouldn’t Ling Chen have been buried without today’s performance?

Vice Palace Master Wu was also dumbfounded.

He had handed over the recruitment of disciples to Elder Bai Qian.

"Palace Master, let’s wait for Ling Chen to come out before discussing this," suggested Vice Palace Master Wu.

He knew of a Ling Chen, but he would never believe that this Ling Chen was the brother of Ling Wu.

After all, he had seen that Ling Chen before, and that person had said he had no cultivation talents.

Elder Bai had also mentioned that Ling Chen was at the second level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

How could he have advanced to the seventh or eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm during the mere three months they lost contact, even with the use of special medicines?

"That’s acceptable," Mo Han nodded.

At this time, many Inner Court disciples had already hurried over.

Seeing the high-ranking officials of the academy in front of the True Martial Tower, they didn’t dare to speak.

"Boom!"

Just then, the True Martial Tower finally opened, and a figure walked out from within.

"Why are there so many people?"

Ling Chen was taken aback as he looked at the densely packed crowd.

Especially those dozens of people near the tower’s gate emitted extremely strong auras, clearly all of them were strong practitioners in the Primordial Pill Realm!

"It’s you, Ling Chen?" Mo Han asked.

He scrutinized Ling Chen and discovered the latter was only at the late fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm!

"You’re him?!" Vice Palace Master Wu was shocked as he recognized Ling Chen’s appearance.

He had not expected that this Ling Chen was truly the brother of his disciple Ling Wu.

"Vice Palace Master!" Ling Chen quickly saluted Vice Palace Master Wu.

This person was Ling Wu’s master and had treated Ling Wu quite well. By now, Ling Wu had already become a Cultivator of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Seeing this, Vice Palace Master Wu hurriedly introduced, "This is our Academic Palace’s Palace Master."

Ling Chen was disregarding the Palace Master’s question and instead saluted him first; this was an affront to the Palace Master’s dignity.

"Oh, I have seen the Palace Master!" Ling Chen saluted towards Mo Han.

"There’s no need for formalities!" Mo Han said with a smile, "You’ve passed through all nine floors of the True Martial Tower?"

"Yes," Ling Chen sounded somewhat nervous.

After all, the method he used to pass through the True Martial Tower was somewhat tricky, and not by using his Spiritual Power Cultivation.

"You’re at the late fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, right? How did you defeat a ninth rank Soldier?" Mo Han directly addressed the key issue.

A ninth rank Soldier should be comparable to the late ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, also cultivating high-grade Attack Profound Spirit Technique and Body Technique Xuanling Technique!

Defeating a ninth rank Soldier while at the late fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm would be equivalent to crossing four ranks in battle!

Without a Spiritual Body, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power should be at the late fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Even if Ling Chen had incredible talent, cultivated high-grade attack and movement Spirit Arts, and even had a Spiritual Weapon, it’s unlikely that he could defeat a ninth rank Soldier.

Unless Ling Chen used a Heavenly Spirit Technique and utilized high-grade Spiritual Weapons, then there might be some possibility.

Could an Outer Court disciple possess Heaven Spirit Arts and high-grade Spiritual Weapons that even Primordial Pill Realm powerhouses would envy?

That’s nearly impossible!

Ling Chen turned to look at Mo Han and smiled, "Palace Master, how I passed through is my secret and there’s no need to tell you. And if you don’t believe it, that’s okay."

Naturally, he was not going to tell Mo Han how he did it.

Hearing Ling Chen’s response, everyone present had a solemn expression.

Ling Chen actually dared to speak to the Palace Master in such a manner?
