Chapter 123: Chapter 123- Climbing The Tower (5)

After being repelled by the flame barrier, these participants who were made aware of their limits, had to drop all ambitions of climbing higher and settle on the fourth floor to cultivate.

"It looks like there is yet another fool who wants to climb higher"...

"Hehe, it looks like he doesn’t know his limits. Good, it was just getting boring. His struggling attempts as he tries to get inside that wall and make a fool of himself would provide quite an entertainment for us".

The participants watching Yang Chen laughed. They were all waiting for him to disgrace himself and get his hopes crushed by that despairing barrier of flame that marked the end of one’s talent.

Though unfortunately for them, Yang Chen betrayed their expectation. In front of the dumbstruck eyes of all the participants, he easily passed through the flame barrier and disappeared inside.

"What... he managed to enter?!!"...

"This can’t be true, my eyes are deceiving me right?".

Some participants involuntarily got up from their place halting their cultivation, while some rubbed their eyes in disbelief. However, no matter how long they stared at the barrier of flame or whatever excuses and attempts they made to rationalize what they had just witnessed, the truth remained that Yang Chen had successfully climbed higher.

Counting all the instances, this was the second time that something like this happened.

----

At the same time, outside the Infernal Battle Tower, the elders who were intently watching the scene from the orb in real time, were also shocked.

"This brat, he really was able to climb to the fifth floor. Strictly speaking, in terms of talent he might not lose to your disciple, Zhou Tong" Han Xuan praised, staring at the back profile of the youth that was displayed on the orb.

It appeared that the former’s comment got to him, as Zhou Tong crossed his arms and snorted "Hmph, it’s too soon to say that his talent is comparable to my disciple’s. He is only on the fifth floor, while Yan Zhuo had already reached the sixth floor".

The other two elders nodded. Indeed, when put it like that, this disciple of Zhou Tong’s was truly a monster. He was able to reach the sixth floor and was cultivating under the heat of the infernal flames there which even some of the outer disciples of their academy have difficulty enduring.

However, this Yang Chen person was also not bad. If he can reach the fifth floor it meant that his talent was really outstanding. Now if he could just endure the infernal flames there and cultivate till the end of the day, he would truly reap some good benefits.

The Elders who wanted to reject Yang Chen previously due to his unknown background had a change of mind after the latter had shown them his talent.

"That might not be true, Zhout Tong. Have you forgotten the strength of this youth? He is only a Two Star Battle Master yet his body can even endure the infernal flames of the fifth floor".

"A talent like that is no way inferior to your disciple who was able to breeze through the lower floors thanks to their Eight Star Battle Master strength" Han Xuan mentioned pointing out the difference in strength between the two geniuses.

Zhou Tong did not retort at the other party’s words this time and instead silently observed the youth. His expression only seemed to change when he saw the figure displayed in the orb try something again.

Instead of sitting down and cultivating on the fifth floor, he instead set his sights on the staircase to the sixth floor and was steadily proceeding towards that area.

"Wait... what is he doing?" Zhou Tong’s alarmed words seemed to have drawn the attention of the elders around as they also turned their heads to look at the orb.

"It can’t be... is he attempting to continue climbing?"...

"This is madness, it hasn’t even been a few minutes since he climbed to the fifth floor. His body has yet to acclimate to the infernal flames there. Yet he is trying to climb the next. It’s an extremely foolish attempt no matter how you see it".

"Well, he is a youth after all, it is only natural to be overconfident in one ability at his age. He will soon come to his senses after he realises his limits the hard way" Even Han Xuan who usually supported and favoured Yang Chen’s talent, didn’t side with him this time.

"The flame wall barring the entrance to the sixth floor is ten times more potent and powerful than the one on the fifth floor. Not to mention, one at least needs the strength of a Seven Star Battle Master or above to endure the infernal flames of the higher floors. I guess he will have to learn this the hard way".

It was because of this reason that no one believed that Yang Chen would be able to climb to the next floor. It was just physically impossible. However, Yang Chen who was oblivious to their discussion, slowly proceeded towards the pathway and stood in front of the flame wall.

The next scene that played out, stunned the four people watching outside to their very core.

Instead of getting repelled by the flame wall as they thought would happen, the flames parted away, giving way for the youth to pass through. And so Yang Chen was easily able to step past the flame barrier.

What was going on? How was this possible? "H-How can a Two Star Battle Master get past that wall?"

Something like this was clearly beyond the limits of what the body of Two Star Battle Master can endure. Some of the elders were so shocked by the scene displayed on the orb that they almost fell off their seats.

"Is there a possibility that he is hiding his true strength by using an artefact or something?"

Due to the absurdity of the situation, it was only natural that they would doubt that. However, the next second they realised that it was impossible. Even if that youth was somehow able to hide his strength, there was no way they who were Battle Grandmasters would be unable to sense his real strength.

This meant that the youth really was a Two Star Battle Master and yet he was able to pass through the flame wall of the fifth floor and climb towards the next floor.
