Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Genius
Wu Tower, 2nd Floor, 3rd Level.
Passing through the arrow corridor of the second level, Zhang Ruochen stepped on the hard ground and came to the third level.
Pushing open the iron gate of the third level, a one-zhang square pool appeared in front of him, and he saw a transparent and crystalline jade tablet standing next to the pool. A line of words appeared on the jade tablet: "Count the number of ripples in the pool, and the error does not exceed ten ripples." ”
"Count ripples, what do you mean?"
Before Zhang Ruochen could react, he heard the sound of falling water.
"Boom!"
At the top of the pool, a silver coin fell and smashed down on the calm surface of the pool.
In the pool, a circle of ripples immediately appeared, from the central seat, to the edge of the pool.
Although Zhang Ruochen didn't understand the meaning of this level, he immediately stared at the water surface and counted the number of ripples, "One, two, three......"
The ripples are getting thinner and weaker, and the difficulty of observation is increasing.
"This is a test of the martial artist's mental power, observation, judgment, and willpower!"
Zhang Ruochen's eyes became more and more dry, and even a little stinging, but he still stared at the pool and did not take his eyes off.
It seems to be a very simple thing, but it contains the avenue of martial arts.
First of all, mental power. If the mental power is not strong enough, you can't see the subtle changes in the ripples at all.
Second, observation. Only a discerning person can see every ripple. Because, after the ripples spread out from the center, they hit the iron wall by the pool, and began to surge in the opposite direction, affecting the observation of the warrior to a certain extent. People who are not observant enough, when the water ripples back, will definitely panic and lose this level.
Third, judgment. As the ripples became weaker and weaker, it even seemed that the water had completely calmed down. At this time, it is the time to test the judgment of the martial artist. When is the water truly calm?
Fourth, willpower. In the case of a high degree of mental concentration, there is also the number of ripples that are constantly counted, and people's eyes are very easy to get tired, and it is impossible for people without willpower to hold on until the water surface is completely calm.
About fifteen minutes passed, and the water finally calmed down.
Zhang Ruochen's eyes were hot and painful, and he closed his eyes and let his eyes rest a little: "Fortunately, I opened up my eye vein, and my eyesight far surpasses that of martial artists in the same realm." Moreover, my spiritual power is strong, reaching more than thirty steps, and I can clearly distinguish every ripple. It's not too difficult for me!"
Zhang Ruochen walked in front of the jade stele, lifted an inscription pen on the ground, and carved a number on the jade stele.
Two thousand seven hundred and sixty-five water lines!
"Wow!"
On the surface of the jade stele, a white light appeared, and a line of words appeared:
2,765 water lines, zero error. Clearance.
Zhang Ruochen smiled faintly, "Sure enough, it's the same as what I observed." However, this level is still quite perverted, no wonder so many people can't pass this level. This is a test of the comprehensive quality of a martial artist!"
"Boom!"
The door to the third floor of the Martial Pagoda opens.
Zhang Ruochen walked straight in, climbed the step-by-step stairs, and came to the third floor of the Wu Tower.
The tower light on the third floor of the Wu Pagoda is lit.
At this moment, those young martial artists and nine elders outside the Martial Pagoda were once again alarmed.
Eight of the ten warriors who originally entered the Martial Pagoda with Zhang Ruochen had already retreated, leaving only Xie Zhaowu of the Sifang County and Zhang Ruochen of the Yunwu Monarchy still breaking through the Martial Tower.
"Someone broke through the third level of the second layer and entered the third level of the Wu Tower. Who could it be?"
"It must be Xie Zhaowu of the Sifang County. ”
"Yes! It must be Xie Zhaowu! Although Xie Zhaowu's reputation is not as good as that of Prince Huo Xing and Qingyou, he is still a genius of the Xuanji Realm after all. At such a young age, how can he be a mediocre person who has reached the small pole of the Xuanji Realm?"
No one would think that it was Zhang Ruochen who had passed the third level of the second layer, after all, Zhang Ruochen was too young, only sixteen years old, and he was only a cultivator in the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm.
Even Elder Situ nodded lightly and said, "Xie Zhaowu must have hidden his strength before, just to wait until the martial tower breaks through to make a splash. If this son can have such a heart, he will definitely have great achievements in the future. ”
The other eight elders all had cold faces, and they didn't want to see Elder Situ's smug look.
Elder Situ is the guide of the warriors of the Sifang County, and the better the results of the martial artists of the Sifang Junguo, the more rewards Elder Situ will get.
Seeing the third-layer tower lights on, Elder Situ was of course very happy, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
But the next moment, the expression on Elder Situ's face froze.
"Squeak!"
The gate of the Wu Pagoda opened, and Xie Zhaowu walked out of the gate with his head down.
Xie Zhaowu raised his head slightly, just in time to see the nine elders staring at him with wide eyes, which startled him and made him take a step back in fright.
What happened?
Elder Situ immediately greeted him and asked, "Xie Zhaowu, how many levels have you passed?"
Seeing Elder Situ's domineering appearance, Xie Zhaowu was so frightened that he took a step back again, and after stabilizing his footsteps, he said in a trembling voice: "Elder Hui, I passed the second level of the second layer, and failed at the third level. Elder Situ, what the hell is going on?"
Elder Situ's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he was even a little angry, and shouted, "Since you have been defeated in the third level of the second layer, why is the tower light on the third floor of the Martial Pagoda lit?"
"What?, the tower light on the third floor of the Wu Pagoda is lit?" Xie Zhaowu was even more surprised than Elder Situ.
Elder Xie, who was standing not far away, laughed loudly and said, "Elder Situ, you must know that there is still a young martial artist in the Martial Tower, since Xie Zhaowu failed, then it must be that young martial artist who has passed the third level of the second layer." ”
"The ninth prince of Yunwu County, Zhang Ruochen. ”
At this moment, everyone finally reacted and couldn't help but show a shocked look.
If a martial artist in the middle of the Xuanji Realm can also break through the third level of the second layer of the martial tower, it would be incredible!
Only Zi Qian was the calmest present, because no one knew Zhang Ruochen's strength better than her. If Zhang Ruochen didn't pass the second layer and the third level, it would be a strange thing.
"You retreat!" Elder Situ glared at Xie Zhaowu fiercely, and then said, "Someone, send Zhang Ruochen's information to Elder Ben." ”
Elder Situ still didn't believe that a martial artist in the middle of the Xuanji Realm could break through the third level of the second layer, and wanted to check this Zhang Ruochen.
It didn't take long for a disciple of the outer palace to send Zhang Ruochen's information to Elder Situ.
"How is that possible?"
After seeing Zhang Ruochen's information, Elder Situ was shocked, and his eyes were about to jump out of his sockets.
The other eight elders showed curious looks, what was so great about Zhang Ruochen's information, how could it shock Elder Situ like that?
"Calm down! Calm down! Elder Situ, you are a lot old, you should learn not to be surprised, how can the information of a young genius make you shocked like this?" Elder Xie said with a smile.
Elder Situ's face turned grim, and he said, "Don't say cool things, come and see for yourself." ”
The eight elders looked at each other and walked over, all looking at Zhang Ruochen's information.
After reading it, the expressions of the eight elders became exactly the same as those of Elder Situ, and they were so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.
"I only opened the Divine Martial Mark at the age of sixteen, and until now, I have only been cultivating for less than a year, right?
"Look here, after only half a year of cultivation, he became a Yellow List martial artist, ranking first on the Yellow List. Oh my God, what kind of amazing genius is this?"
Although Elder Xie was the guide of the young martial artists of Yunwu County, he had not gone through Zhang Ruochen's information before.
At this moment, Elder Xie saw Zhang Ruochen's information for the first time, and he scolded loudly, "Liu Chuanshen, that bastard, why didn't you tell me in advance that Zhang Ruochen was so demonic?
Of course, Elder Xie was quite depressed, and his bowels were blue, if he had known that Zhang Ruochen's talent was so high, on the way to bring Zhang Ruochen to the Wushi Academy Palace, he would have accepted Zhang Ruochen as a disciple in advance.
Now, it's late!
A genius with such high talent will definitely be accepted as a personal disciple by the dean of the Western Academy, and it will not be his turn at all.
Elder Xie scolded the eighteen generations of Liu Chuanshen's ancestors.
Liu Chengfeng stood not far away, with a displeased look on his face, and muttered in a low voice, "Uncle Xie has always been gentle and elegant, why did he suddenly scold my father? Forget it, he is an elder, I don't care about him." ”
Liu Chengfeng was also quite depressed.
......
Zhang Ruochen walked into the first level of the third layer of the martial tower, and then came to a closed martial arts training ground, which was very similar to the first level of the first layer and the first level of the second layer.
"Wow!"
On the stone wall, Luo Xu's spiritual void body came out again.
Luo Xu glanced at Zhang Ruochen and said with a smile: "This level, you don't need to fight! You have already passed the first level of the second layer!"
Zhang Ruochen could see that the aura on Luo Xu's body was still in the late stage of the Xuanji Realm, so he asked: "At this level, I need to catch a few moves from my predecessors before I can pass the level?"
......
The old fish is rolling around and begging for a recommendation vote! Recommendation vote! Recommendation vote! Important things have to be said three times. Ha ha!
"Three moves. Luo Xu said.
Luo Xu's first move is two percent strength, the second move is three percent strength, and the third move is four percent strength.
As long as you catch Luo Xu's three moves, you will be able to pass the first level of the third layer.
You must know that when Zhang Ruochen was in the first level of the second layer, he took all nine of Luo Xu's moves. Therefore, there is no need to fight again in this level, and you can pass the level directly.
Zhang Ruochen stared at Luo Xu and said, "I have a question in my heart!"
"I can answer you a question. Luo smirked.
Zhang Ruochen said: "In the four hundred and sixty years of the Western Courtyard, the most powerful martial artist in the middle stage of the Xuanji Realm is you, and the most powerful martial artist in the late stage of the Xuanji Realm is still you. Isn't it the seven realms of the Xuanji Realm, and you are all the strongest?"
Luo Xu said: "Before you appeared, it was true. However, after you appear, I believe that you will replace me in every realm and become the new gatekeeper of the Martial Tower. ”
After speaking, Luo Xu's body turned into wisps of aura and disappeared into the martial arts training ground.
Zhang Ruochen smiled lightly and walked towards the second level of the third layer.
