"Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen took three steps forward, passing through layers of sword shadows, and thrust his sword out, piercing Luo Xū's brow.

  Luoxu's body froze, and a sword mark appeared on his forehead.

  Zhang Ruochen recalled the Flash Soul Sword and retreated three steps back.

  "Awesome, you win, your talent is above mine." Luo Xu said with a smile.

  His body gradually became more and more illusory, dispersing into strands of spiritual energy that vanished into thin air.

  "Luoxu's cultivation is truly formidable, in the same realm, he can actually withstand my 93 moves, worthy of being the strongest Xuanji Realm mid-term martial artist in the Western Courtyard for 460 years."

  "Of course, if I were to use my powers from outside the space domain, I estimate it would take around ten moves to defeat Luo Xue."

  Zhang Ruochen's arm rotated, and he sheathed the Flash Soul Sword, opening the metal iron door and heading directly to the second floor of the Martial Tower.

  Defeating Luo Xū, Zhang Ruò Chén didn't need to continue on to the second and third trials of the first floor, directly entering the second floor.

  Du Mu Xingling and Huang Yanchen both let out a long sigh, exchanging a glance, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

  "He actually defeated Luo Xiao within a hundred moves!" Du Mu Xingling still couldn't quite believe it.

  Huang Yanzhen said: "Not defeated, but killed. Within a hundred moves, he killed Luo Xu of the same boundary, it's really terrifying."

  "I'd like to see how far he can make it, which level and which stage." Du Mu Xing Ling's eyes narrowed into a slit, filled with interest in Zhang Ruo Chen.

  Zhang Ruochen entered the second floor of the Wu Tower's first pass.

  It is still a closed martial arts arena, very similar to the first pass of the first floor.

  "Whoosh"

  Another warrior with a spiritual body walked out of the stone wall.

  It's actually Luoxu again.

  Luò Xū looked at Zhāng Ruò Chén and smiled: "We meet again"

  Zhang Ruochen's eyes widened slightly in surprise and he said, "The guardian of the first pass on the second floor is still you."

  Luò Xū nodded and said, "That's right. Now, if you can catch my one move, it will be considered passing the first test of the second floor of the Martial Tower. There is one thing I need to remind you, my current cultivation is in the late stage of the Profound Extreme Realm, and I am the strongest warrior in the late stage of the Profound Extreme Realm."

  "The strongest late-stage Wudang warrior" Zhang Ruochen's expression turned serious, no longer underestimating Luo Xue.

  In the middle of the Profound Extreme Realm, Luo Yu was the strongest in the same realm. In the late stage of the Profound Extreme Realm, Luo Yu was surprisingly still the strongest in the same realm.

  At Luo Xiao's current cultivation level in the late stage of Xuanji, it wouldn't be difficult for him to defeat a martial artist at the Small Extreme Rank of the Xuanji Realm.

  Even with his strength, he was enough to fight against a martial artist in the extreme realm of Xuanji.

  A mid-term martial artist in the Mystic Extreme Realm wants to catch a move from a mid-level martial artist in the same realm, which is simply more difficult than ascending to heaven.

  However, Zhang Ruochen was not an ordinary mid-term Wu Zong Xian cultivator. Facing Luo Yu, he had no fear in his heart and said, "What if I defeat you?"

  Luoxiao smiled and said: "If you can defeat me, not only will you not have to go through the other two passes on the second floor, but you won't even need to go through the first pass on the third floor."

  "Aren't you using a weapon?" Zhang Ruochen drew out his Shanhun Sword and pointed it at Luoxu.

  Luodu said: "If I were to use a weapon, I'm afraid there wouldn't be many people who could pass the first test of the second layer."

  In fact, other warriors who are breaking through the second layer for the first time only need to be able to withstand Luo Xue's one move and stand up again to pass.

  "Let's go to war," Zhang Ruochen said.

  "The First Move, Luoshui Enters the Sea"

  Luoxu's five fingers clenched into a fist, his feet stepped out in rhythm, as if transformed into a swift gust of wind, with a speed of forty-two meters per second, slightly faster than the average extreme realm warrior.

  In general, a mid-term martial artist in the Mystic Realm would probably not even be able to see Luo Yu's shadow, let alone catch one of his moves.

  Zhang Ruochen did not use his spatial domain's power and instead infused spiritual energy into the eye and ear meridians, using his own eyesight and hearing to judge Luo Xue's moves.

  Zhang Ruochen's body moved one step to the left, dodging Luo Xue's fist. At the same time, Zhang Ruochen swung his sword and slashed towards Luo Xue's waist.

  "The Second Move, Luoshui Returns"

  Luò Xū's body leapt up like a flying fish, forming an arc, and his fist struck towards Zhang Ruòchén's chest, the explosive force seeming to be even stronger than before.

  His fist appeared in front of Zhang Ruochen in an instant.

  If Zhang Ruochen was hit by a punch, he would definitely be seriously injured.

  "Tian Xin Jian Zhong"

  Zhang Ruochen held his sword horizontally and blocked it, a powerful sword energy condensed into a large bell-like virtual shadow.

  "Boom"

  Luò Xū's fist struck the surface of the Great Bell's illusion, causing it to immediately cave in and shatter violently. The powerful force sent Zhāng Ruò Chén flying backward.

  Luò Xū didn't give Zhāng Ruò Chén a chance to catch his breath and immediately attacked again, throwing the third punch.

  "The Third Move, Luoshui Transforms into Sword"

  Luoxu's fist was like a sword energy, stabbing towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Fist turns into sword.

  Only when the boxing skills are cultivated to an extremely high level can one produce a fist power as sharp as a sword.

  "What a formidable Luo Xue, if I hadn't cultivated to the Yellow Extreme Realm's Supreme Extreme Realm, I estimate that in the same realm, my strength and his would be about half a catty and eight taels."

  Zhang Ruochen succeeded in cultivating the Supreme Extreme Boundary of the Yellow Extreme, which is one boundary higher than Bai Lian's cultivation. Therefore, he can defeat Bai Lian at the same boundary.

  Now, Luo Yu is one realm higher than Zhang Ruochen, and it's almost impossible for Zhang Ruochen to defeat him.

  "Heavenly Heart Points the Way"

  Zhang Ruochen swung his sword and broke through Luo Xukong's fist. Then, he did not retreat but instead advanced, actively launching an attack on Luo Xukong.

  Inside the pagoda, within the central secret chamber.

  Huang Yanchen stared at the scene on the spiritual mirror and said, "Luo Xu is using a low-grade spiritual martial skill called Luo Shui Thirty-six Fists."

  "Duanmu Xingling asked: 'Dust sister, after Luoxu's late stage of the Mystic Extreme Realm, how many fists did he condense the 36 Luoshui Fists into?'"

  "Nine Fists." Huang Yanzhen said.

  Du Mu Xingling nodded and said: "Do you think Zhang Ruochen can withstand Luo Xiao's few punches?"

  "Can't say for sure."

  Huang Yanchen shook his head slightly and said, "Zhang Ruochen's innate talent is quite against the heavens. If he can withstand Luo Xue's Nine Fists, he will have the strength to fight Luo Xue to a draw."

  Du Mu Xing Ling Dao said, "Impossible! Luo Xu is a senior of such stature. Even within the same realm, there are hardly a few people who can be his match. Let alone crossing realms to contend with him."

  "Watching it will know that Zhang Ruochen has already accepted Luo Xuan's six punches." Huang Yanchen also felt incredible, and was a little afraid to believe his eyes.

  Luoxu, he was an invincible strongman two hundred years ago, and has always been a legend of the Western Courtyard.

  Zhang Ruochen had already accomplished something remarkable by defeating Luo Xue in the same boundary. If news of this got out, it would definitely cause a huge stir.

  If so, Zhang Ruochen's ability to transcend boundaries and defeat Luo Xue would cause an unimaginable stir.

  "The Eighth Move, Luoshui Transforms into Dragon"

  Luò's body's aura became stronger and stronger, surging true energy formed circles of ripples around his body.

  He was like standing on a great river, punching, and in the air, there were sounds of flowing water.

  Roar

  That great river transformed into a water dragon over ten meters long and surged towards Zhang Ruochen.

  "Breaking Plum Blossoms with Heavenly Heart"

  Zhang Ruochen thrust out one sword, pointing at the Water Dragon's brow.

  However, Zhang Ruochen's sword hilt did not pierce the dragon's brow, it was as if he had struck an iron wall, producing a metallic crashing sound.

  Boom

  Zhang Ruochen's hand holding the Soul Sword was shaken by a powerful force, almost dropping it, and his entire right arm became numb, unable to exert any strength.

  At this moment, Luo Xue's ninth punch was thrown out.

  "The Ninth Move, Luoshui Jue Liu"

  Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth, refusing to give up. He raised his left arm and concentrated all the true energy in his body into it, letting out a loud roar: "Dragon Elephant Returns to the Field"

  Dragon Elephant Palm, Third Palm.

  Boom

  Fists and palms collide.

  Two powerful forces collided with each other, producing a deafening loud noise.

  Zhang Ruochen spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. He forcibly stabilized his body, retreating step by step. Although he looked extremely disheveled, he didn't fall to the ground, still propping himself up with his body, maintaining an upright posture.

  Zhang Ruochen's two arms were aching and about to split, if Luo Xiao were to throw another punch at this time, he would undoubtedly lose.

  Zhang Ruochen stared at Luo Xu standing opposite him and said, "You win."

  Luò Xū shook his head and said, "You won. After reaching the late stage of Xuán Jí Jìng, I condensed the 36 Luò Shuǐ Fists into 9 fists. Now that the 9 fists are exhausted, I still can't knock you down."

  Zhang Ruochen said: "Your first punch only used 20% of your strength, your second punch used 30%, and from then on, each punch you threw increased by 10%. Only when you threw the ninth punch did you use 100% of your strength. If you had used 100% of your strength from the very beginning, I wouldn't have been able to withstand even one of your nine punches."

  Luò Xū smiled and said: "However, you should know that other mid-stage Wujin in the Profound Extreme Realm only need to withstand my first punch with two layers of power to pass this test."

  Zhang Ruochen nodded, and in his heart, he didn't feel the slightest bit discouraged. After all, his opponent was the strongest person in the Western Academy for 460 years, and losing to him while being one realm lower wasn't shameful at all.

  Moreover, Zhang Ruochen did not use spatial domain.

  If it's about using space, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

  Of course, the Luo Xu that Zhang Ruochen sees now is just a spiritual body condensed by the martial tower using spiritual energy, and not the real person. The combat power of this spiritual body cannot represent Luo Xu's true strength.

  It's meaningless to overly pursue wins and losses.

  After Zhang Ruochen rested for a while and felt that his body had recovered to about 70-80%, he walked through the metal iron gate and went to challenge the second pass of the second floor.

  Zhang Ruochen did not defeat Luo Xue, so he naturally went on to challenge the second and third passes of the second floor.

  The second passageway on the second floor is a thirty-meter-long corridor that is only three meters wide, with small circular holes in the iron walls on both sides.

  "Hiss"

  As I walked into the passageway, small holes on either side of the iron walls immediately shot out short arrows as long as a palm.

  Zhang Ruochen didn't draw his sword, but merely swung his scabbard, knocking down all the short arrows that had been shot out.

  He walked through the thirty-meter-long corridor step by step, his footsteps without any hesitation, looking very relaxed.

  Of course, it's also easy for him.

  If it were another martial artist in the middle of the Mystic Extreme Realm, thinking about dodging the dense hail of arrows would not be an easy task.
