Supreme Lord of Towers

”Thank you, Elder Lu,” Ye Chen said gratefully.

Although, even without Elder Lu’s intervention just now, he could have dodged Ouyang Yi’s attack with the Transformation Realm ”Profound Serpent Body Technique.”

However, Elder Lu stepping in to help indicated that he was still on Ye Chen’s side.

Therefore, Ye Chen naturally felt grateful towards him.

”Ye Chen, don’t let Ouyang Zhong’s expectations down. If your Body Refining Talent can meet the highest standard of the Trial Hall, you might even receive some mysterious reward,” Ouyang Lu said with a slight smile.

”I will definitely try my best,” Ye Chen nodded and then strode toward the grand entrance of the Trial Hall.

With a loud rumble.

The next moment, the grand door made of Purple Gold opened on its own.

What met Ye Chen’s eyes was an enormously spacious hall, in the center of which stood a mysterious array engraved with densely packed array patterns.

”Ye Chen, that is the Gravity Array. Only if your Physical Power reaches beyond a thousand tigers can you hope to pass through this array. But for you, it shouldn’t be much of an issue,” Ouyang Lu said kindly.

With another rumble.

As Ye Chen stepped into the hall, the heavy Purple Gold door closed on its own once again.

People outside couldn’t possibly see what was happening inside the hall.

However, the upper walls of the palace were inlaid with numerous Luminous Pearls, lighting up the entire hall as bright as day.

”Gravity Array?” Ye Chen’s figure flashed as he flew towards the array ahead, instantly entering its depths.

Buzz.

The next instant, the entire array blossomed with dazzling divine light, forming a huge light shield that enveloped Ye Chen entirely.

Immediately afterward, Ye Chen felt an incredibly terrifying pressure surging at him from all directions, as if a giant Ancient Divine Mountain was pressing down on him fiercely.

If his physical body hadn’t been strong enough, he would have been crushed into pulp in an instant.

”Such powerful pressure, at least around a thousand tigers, but for me, it’s nothing at all,” Ye Chen said with a grin.

It’s undeniable that the power contained within this Gravity Array was really frightening.

If it were the previous Chief Disciple, Ouyang Ren, he definitely would have been utterly immobile, let alone breaking through this array.

After all, Ouyang Ren had only perfected the Body Refining Technique ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,” but his physical power was far from reaching a thousand tigers.

Unlike Ouyang Zhong, who, aside from practicing the ”Ancient Golden Elephant Technique,” had also cultivated some other Body Refining Techniques.

So, his physical power was already far beyond the Power of a Thousand Tigers, making it easy for him to pass through this Gravity Array.

Regrettably, Ouyang Zhong’s Body Refining Talent wasn’t strong enough. Even if he passed the Gravity Array, he couldn’t clear the next test.

Otherwise, he would have long become the Hall Master of the War King Hall.

”Dragon Elephant Divine Pattern, activate,” with a thought, three mysterious patterns instantly appeared on Ye Chen’s arm, emitting faint golden light, resembling three small True Dragons.

Immediately, Ye Chen’s muscles swelled up like dragons, brimming with immense power.

At this moment, Ye Chen fully activated the three Dragon Elephant Divine Patterns, and his physical body possessed the power of about three thousand tigers.

And the terrifying pressure released from the Gravity Array felt like a mere tickle to him, posing not the slightest threat.

Whoosh.

The next moment, Ye Chen stepped out of the Gravity Array, looking as if he were taking a casual stroll, extremely relaxed.

”To pass just like that? It was too easy,” a few breaths later, Ye Chen emerged from the Gravity Array, looking casual and unruffled.

He couldn’t help but feel that it was too simple.

If other students from the War King Hall were here, they would surely feel speechless.

One must know that throughout history, students in the entire War King Hall who possessed the Power of a Thousand Tigers were very, very few.

Even during the most glorious times of the War King Hall, only a few Seed Students could achieve this.

Moreover, even if they truly possessed the Power of a Thousand Tigers, they had to exert all their strength to break through the Gravity Array, or they would fail at any moment.

But Ye Chen?

He effortlessly walked out of the Gravity Array, as if it were child’s play.

It really was enough to make people sigh in comparison!

”Next, it’s the second checkpoint. As long as I pass this checkpoint, I can obtain the Hall Master Seal of the War King Hall and become the new Hall Master.” A thick sense of expectation flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes.

In front of him stood a thirty-foot tall pillar entirely forged from white Divine Jade, engraved with mysterious runes.

This pillar is specifically designed to test a cultivator’s body refining talent.

As long as the cultivator places their hands into the groove of the stone pillar, the array engraved on the top of the pillar will automatically activate, starting to test the cultivator’s body refining talent.

”Elder Ouyang once said that a cultivator’s body refining talent, just like martial arts talent, is divided into lower, middle, upper, and super grades. However, the vast majority of cultivators have a body refining talent that is basically lower grade, making them unsuitable for physical cultivation. Only cultivators who reach middle grade barely qualify for physical cultivation.” Ye Chen stood beneath the stone pillar, muttering to himself unconsciously.

According to what he knew, to become the Hall Master of the War King Hall, one’s body refining talent must at least reach the upper grade.

Back in the day, Ouyang Zhong couldn’t become the Hall Master of the War King Hall because his body refining talent couldn’t reach the upper grade.

This also became his lifelong regret.

As for super-grade body refining talent, not even one has appeared in the entire history of the War King Hall.

Even the third-generation Hall Master of the War King Hall couldn’t achieve that step.

”The third-generation Hall Master of the War King Hall took only half a year to cultivate the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique’ to perfection, yet his body refining talent couldn’t reach super-grade! It seems that reaching super-grade body refining talent is an incredibly difficult task!” Ye Chen couldn’t help but think to himself.

”Master, after cultivating the ’Ten Thousand Dao Human Emperor Body,’ your body refining talent is rare in this world, reaching super-grade should be as easy as flipping your hand.” The Tower Spirit smiled slightly, filled with confidence in Ye Chen’s body refining talent.

It’s worth noting that Ye Chen took only about three days to cultivate the ’Ancient Golden Elephant Technique.’

This speed, unknown by how many times faster than the third-generation Hall Master.

Therefore, his body refining talent might even surpass super-grade, reaching a level unimaginable to others.

Moreover, as Ye Chen’s Ten Thousand Dao Human Emperor Body gets stronger, it will become easier for him to cultivate other body refining techniques in the future.

This is one of the benefits the Ten Thousand Dao Human Emperor Body brings to Ye Chen.

”I’ll give it a try now.” Ye Chen excitedly reached out his hands and placed them into the groove on the top of the stone pillar.

This stone pillar is divided into four major sections.

If all sections light up, it indicates that Ye Chen’s body refining talent has reached super-grade.

Buzz.

The next moment, the entire stone pillar began to tremble violently, and the mysterious runes engraved on it immediately emitted dazzling radiant light, enveloping Ye Chen.

A breath later, the first section of the stone pillar lit up.

Two breaths later, the second section lit up.

Three breaths later, the third section of the stone pillar also emitted an incomparably dazzling light.

This means that Ye Chen’s body refining talent has already met the standard to become the Hall Master of the War King Hall.

”I did it. From now on, I am the Hall Master of the War King Hall.” Ye Chen said excitedly.

Becoming the Hall Master of the War King Hall means he can cultivate all the martial arts techniques of the War King Hall, including that Profound Level lower-grade martial arts.

This is the most crucial step in his path to becoming an immortal.

With a loud bang.

At that moment, the fourth section of the stone pillar also suddenly radiated extremely dazzling divine light, like a blinding small sun, illuminating the entire hall.

”Super-grade body refining talent, congratulations on becoming the first person in the history of the War King Hall to be tested with super-grade body refining talent. You will receive the Azure Sky Immortal Sect’s body refining technique, the ’Glazed Martial Body.’” As soon as the fourth section of the stone pillar lit up, a middle-aged man’s voice suddenly echoed through the hall.

”It’s the Sound Recording Stone,” the Tower Spirit said calmly, as if not surprised at all.

The Sound Recording Stone is an extremely peculiar Spirit Stone that can record all kinds of sounds.

This stone is commonly used by any strong sect force, so it’s nothing surprising.

”’Glazed Martial Body,’ is this body refining technique my reward?” Ye Chen’s gaze fell on the top of the stone pillar ahead, a dazzling brilliance shooting from his eyes.

Just then, a hidden compartment appeared on the top of the stone pillar, containing a box made of White Jade.

This box must have been hidden in the stone pillar by a strong individual from the Azure Sky Immortal Sect and can only be obtained by someone with super-grade body refining talent.

And in all these years, the War King Hall has not given birth to anyone with super-grade body refining talent.

So naturally, this box has never been taken by anyone.

”Master, since this body refining technique is given as a reward to someone with super-grade body refining talent, its grade should be quite high. You can try to cultivate it, anyway, there’s a long way to go to cultivate your Ten Thousand Dao Human Emperor Body to its third realm, this body refining technique can serve as a transitional phase.” The Tower Spirit smiled slightly.
