Outside the tower, everyone's eyes were focused on the two big words in the middle of the tower. At this moment, Qing Xue, who was in the midst of leveling up, was completely ignored by everyone.
Obviously, compared to Qing Xue's advancement to the Upper Sky Realm, reaching the eighteenth level was even more shocking. This was normal. Everyone present had basically entered the Sword Slave Tower before and knew how terrifying it was. Especially Cao Huo and the other two elders. They knew very well what it meant to be able to reach the eighteenth level.
The main purpose of the Sword Slave Tower was to test a person's potential. This potential wasn't about realm, but a person's combat potential. There was no shortage of geniuses in this world. In the Southern Region, there were people who could challenge those who were two levels higher. In other words, the true combat strength of those with higher cultivation levels might not necessarily be stronger than those with lower cultivation levels.
Cultivation state was not the only standard to measure a person's strength. However, there were obvious benefits to having a high cultivation state. That was, the amount of mystic qi one had was definitely more than that of people with lower cultivation states. Moreover, when a person advanced to a certain realm, they would also possess some strange abilities.
For example, the Connate Realm was stronger than the Mortal Realm because after reaching the Connate Realm, one could absorb the invisible spiritual energy in the world into their body and fuse it with their physical body to increase their strength. Then, he extracted the Xuan Qi from every part of his body. After refining it, he would condense it and make it circulate in his body. From there, he would take the initiative to absorb the spiritual qi between heaven and earth and strengthen it. Then, he would continue to shape his physical body.
It was still the same sentence. This did not mean that a Connate Realm expert could definitely defeat a Mortal Realm expert. This world did not lack all kinds of geniuses, nor did it lack all kinds of heaven-defying cultivation techniques. Many top-notch cultivation techniques and other external objects could allow people to reach the effects of the Connate realm at the Mortal realm.
For example, An Yufeng had a small whirlpool in his body. The golden Xuan Qi produced by the small whirlpool was a heaven-defying thing. Back then, when he was attacked by the golden Celestial Chi, from a certain point of view, his physical body was actually not weaker than a Connate Realm physical body. It was even stronger than some Connate realm bodies.
The reason why Cao Huo and the other two were shocked was because they thought that Jiang Yuan had advanced to the 17th level from the Mortal Realm and then advanced to the Innate Realm on the 18th level. This meant that Jiang Yuan not only had great combat potential, but also great talent and potential.
A sixteen-year-old Inborn expert who had reached the seventeenth level as a mortal and advanced to the Inborn realm on the eighteenth level. How could this not shock the three of them?
"Go and inform Demoness that someone is going to break her record!”Qin Feng looked at the two large words on the tower and muttered in a low voice. The other party was able to make it to the 17th level before reaching the Inborn Realm. Now that he had advanced to the Inborn Realm, with his combat strength, it should not be too difficult for him to make it to the 20th level.
The youth behind him didn't hesitate. He turned around and flew in a certain direction.
On the 18th floor, An Yufeng kept waving his sword, leaving afterimages and ear-piercing sounds. His opponent, the sword slave, did not want to be outdone either. The sword in his hand kept swinging at a speed that was not inferior to Yang Ye's. The two of them exchanged no less than hundreds of moves!
The strength of the sword slave on the 18th floor surprised An Yufeng, especially the speed. It was much stronger than the sword slave on the 17th floor. Fortunately, he didn't use that move this time. Otherwise, he might have died this time. At worst, they would perish together because the sword slave's attack speed was too fast.
If he hadn't practiced the basic sword technique for two years, if he hadn't gone to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to train, if he hadn't fought with those sword slaves, he would have been defeated long ago.
The two of them did not use any sword skills or sword qi. They used the most basic moves, which was to stab and block. Of course, at such a close distance, there was no way to use any sword qi, because any sword qi needed time. What the two of them lacked the most was time. Whoever dared to use sword qi would immediately be pierced through by the sword!
The sword slave was still fine. It only had a fighting consciousness and no other emotions. It had to be said that at this moment, not having intelligence was undoubtedly an advantage for the sword slave. Because it would not be nervous or afraid. Other than fighting, it would not have any negative emotions.
However, An Yufeng knew how to do it. Although he was fully focused on dealing with the attacks, he still had some negative emotions. He just suppressed them and didn't let them out.
However, if this continued, he would definitely be the first to collapse.
"We can't go on like this!" Waving the sword in his hand, An Yufeng thought to himself.
An Yufeng stabbed his sword into the sword slave's body. With the help of the sword's power, he jumped back slightly. The moment An Yufeng jumped back, the sword slave seized the opportunity and rushed forward. The sword in his hand brought up a sky full of sword shadows and rushed towards An Yufeng.
The sword shadows filled the sky, but An Yufeng's expression remained unchanged. He threw the long sword in his hand at the sword slave. Ding! An Yufeng's sword was knocked away by the sword slave. At the moment when the sword was knocked away, An Yufeng's two huge fists suddenly appeared in front of the sword slave. One of them punched at the sword slave's long sword, and the other punched at the sword slave's chest.
The two sudden punches made the sword slave pause. Obviously, it didn't expect the other party to use fists. However, it quickly counterattacked. The sword in its hand bent and stabbed at An Yufeng's chest from a strange angle.
The battle between experts was decided in an instant. As soon as the sword slave stopped, An Yufeng's right fist had already hit the sword slave's chest. However, the sword slave's long sword also stabbed into An Yufeng's chest. However, the sword slave's long sword had just pierced through An Yufeng's skin when it was blown away by the huge force of An Yufeng's fist.
The moment An Yufeng's fist came into contact with the sword slave's chest, he turned his fist into a sword finger and flicked it gently. Two streams of sword Qi flew out along with the sword slave's body. In the air, the sword slave's speed decreased. Two sword Qi passed through it, and the sword slave's body slowly dissipated.
The moment the sword slave's body and the sword disappeared, blood flowed out from An Yufeng's chest.
Although he knew that this was an illusion and that people wouldn't really die, An Yufeng still felt the aura of death at that moment. Just like the seventeenth level, if he was a little slower this time, he would have to stop.
An Yufeng picked up the sword that was sent flying by the sword slave, then sat cross-legged on the ground and reflected on himself.
From this battle, An Yufeng knew that his swordsmanship might be good, but in the fight with the sword slave just now, his swordsmanship and himself were still lacking in many areas. The weakness of the sword technique was that it was not fast enough. Many times, it could only defend and not attack. Even if it saw a flaw, it could not attack in time.
His weakness was that he was not calm enough, especially when he was at a disadvantage in the end. He was obviously anxious. Although he won the battle in the last fight, it was his gamble.
It could be said that he was not satisfied with this battle. Because he didn't like to gamble. If he could maintain his mentality and not be impatient, even if he couldn't defeat this sword slave with his sword technique, he could still fight for a while. Gambling was all about luck. An Yufeng didn't like to put his life on the illusory word luck.
"It seems that my combat experience is still a little lacking. After this trip, I must have more actual combat experience in the future. It's best if I go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to fight Xuan Beasts to the death. "Only through constant life and death experience can I become stronger and stronger. Only then can I kill my way out on the Proclamation of Azure Sky in the future!”
After concluding, An Yufeng stood up and looked at the 19th floor. He had felt the strength of the sword slave on the eighteenth floor earlier. It could be said that it was the strongest he had ever seen below the Connate Realm. And how strong would the nineteenth level be?
This time, An Yufeng didn't step on it. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground and used his golden Celestial Chi to heal the wound on his chest. Facing his next opponent, An Yufeng didn't dare to be careless. He wanted to fight with full health. Otherwise, the 19th floor might very well be his last floor.
While An Yufeng was resting, Jiang Yuan fought for nearly four hours on the 14th floor before he managed to pierce through the sword slave's weakness. However, he was also in a sorry state. At this moment, he was no longer as calm and unrestrained as before. His clothes were tattered, and there were a few bloodstains on his face. As soon as he killed the sword slave, he fell straight to the ground.
After taking a few deep breaths, he said in a low voice,"What an abnormal sword slave. What an abnormal combat strength. He actually almost killed me, a Connate Realm expert. In the past, the old ancestor said that there was an innate defect in using external objects to advance. It seemed like it was true. Sigh, I shouldn't have listened to my father back then and used a pill to advance to the Xiantian Realm!”
That's right, his innate ability was improved by using external objects. Back then, he clearly knew that there were flaws in it, but he still took it. It was for the sake of reputation. To the people of River Snow City, a sixteen-year-old ninth level cultivator was already very rare. But what if he was a sixteen-year-old Inborn Expert?
If it was a sixteen-year-old Inborn expert, it would be considered very good even for a state. In order to raise his reputation as a genius to a higher level, he finally took a medicinal pill and raised his realm to the Innate Realm. However, he regretted it now. If he had cultivated to the Xiantian Realm normally, he would definitely not have been put in such a sorry state by this sword slave.
"Hey!"
Jiang Yuan sighed and looked at the 15th floor. After hesitating for a moment, he revealed a determined expression and said,"Although I'm already firmly in first place now, if I were to go to the next level, I would definitely attract the attention of the Sword Sect elders. I have to pass the fifteenth level!”Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and quietly recovered his Celestial Chi.
