Chapter 391: 385 Fire Tower (1st Update)

At the same moment,

Ling Long stared blankly at Su Chen, and a few breaths later, her beautiful and cold face first turned pale, then flushed red!

She admitted that with just one punch, Su Chen had crippled Yang Pi, leaving her trembling nearly to the point of losing her breath.

As a Noble Realm, crushing someone in the First Transformation Hollow Void Realm Late Stage, he was practically a living god.

But no matter how shocked, no matter how amazed, no matter how ashamed she was of her previous arrogance and ignorance, in the face of Su Chen’s scornful curse,

she was still furious, for she had never been insulted like this in her life...

Without a moment’s hesitation, she struck.

Ling Long’s slender jade hand moved fiercely, channeling Mysterious Qi into the blade of the sword as its tip pointed straight at Su Chen, her sword technique forming, the sword’s momentum wildly rippling.

However, it was at that second that Huo Shouying spoke, "Stop!"

Yang Pi had already been crippled by Su Chen, and he did not want to see Ling Long end up the same.

"Sect Master, even if he is your disciple, even if I underestimated him before, you can’t openly favor him!!!" Ling Long cried out, her face full of defiance and grievance.

"Ling Long, I am doing this for your good. Su Chen meant no harm, his curse was just because of your arrogance and rudeness!" Huo Shouying sighed and said, "If you really fight, you are no match for Su Chen, and I don’t want to see you end up like Yang Pi!"

What?

As Huo Shouying spoke, the already silent Martial Training Field became even more dead silent...

Many people around gasped in cool air.

If this had been said earlier, they might not have believed him, but now, most people believed it.

After all, just now, Su Chen had performed miracles, subduing Yang Pi, and now subduing Ling Long was not impossible either.

This young man named Su Chen, was such a monster? Most of all, he was still at the Noble Realm!

Freakish to the point of being inhuman.

No wonder he was favored by the Sect Master to be taken as a disciple, no wonder he had so many special privileges.

On the high platform,

Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei’s eyes were flickering, their bodies trembling slightly. Both suddenly recalled what the Sect Master had said—Su Chen was first in the Divine Ladder assessment.

Earlier, they didn’t believe it, thinking the Sect Master was lying.

Now, it seemed to be true indeed!!!

If it were true, then Su Chen’s talent for martial cultivation...

Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei looked at each other subconsciously, slightly agitated, both feeling hopeful for the Burning Heaven Sect.

Yes!

The Burning Heaven Sect had hope.

In the past, although the Burning Heaven Sect had Ling Long, a genius, she was slightly inferior compared to the geniuses of other Fifth-Rank, Fourth-Rank, and Third-Rank powers. Now with Su Chen added...

In contrast to Xuu Zhan and Zhao Wuwei’s excitement and surprise, Bai Zhen’s face was expressionless, neither happy nor sad.

But if someone could see through Bai Zhen’s eyes, they would see endless murderous intent and resentment hidden deep within them.

Everyone in the Burning Heaven Sect was watching Su Chen, all immersed in the extreme shock he had brought; but who still remembered Yang Pi?

Divine Martial Continent was too realistic, too cruel, cruel to the point of chilling one’s heart.

No matter how terrifying, how monstrous, or how talented you were, if one day you fell into misfortune, everyone would instantly forget you.

Just like Yang Pi at this moment, Yang Pi who was the second in the monthly assessment! He was the disciple Bai Zhen valued most!

Taking a deep breath, Bai Zhen glanced at Su Chen and thought to himself, "Little bastard, you crippled my disciple, this vendetta, I, Bai Zhen, will not forget!"

Bai Zhen, already at odds with Huo Shouying and displeased with Su Chen, now truly hated Su Chen.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that Yang Pi being crippled was deserved, for it was Yang Pi who had provoked Su Chen first.

At the same moment,

Ling Long nearly bit her lips to bleeding.

Even her beautiful eyes began to fill with tears.

Lifting her head stubbornly to the extreme, she said, "Sect Master, how can you be so sure that I, Ling Long, am not his match?"

Huo Shouying furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, then suddenly turned to Su Chen, "Su Chen, since some people do not accept you, today, while everyone from the Burning Heaven Sect is present, you should just take the monthly assessment! I hope you can convince everyone with your results and strength!"

Huo Shouying never intended for Su Chen to start as a bottom-rung disciple; that would be a waste of such a super genius.

What he wanted was to allocate all of the sect’s resources to cultivate Su Chen!!!

Only by doing so could Su Chen grow quickly, and only then could the Burning Heaven Sect possibly hope to become a Fifth-Rank Power.

However.

There was a realistic point to consider, which was the issue of convincing everyone, since Su Chen was, after all, new to the Burning Heaven Sect.

Thus, after much consideration, he still decided to have Su Chen take the monthly assessment test right then and there.

"Boy, don’t let me down!" Huo Shouying looked deeply at Su Chen, thinking to himself.

Although Huo Shouying was just the head of a small sect, his ambitions were not small at all, and his vision was frighteningly high; when it came to action, he was ready to make bold sacrifices.

He had already made up his mind to bet on Su Chen, and thus, he would give his all.

"Master, I will!" Below, Su Chen nodded. Although he didn’t know what the sect evaluation of the Burning Heaven Sect was like, he was not afraid and had absolute confidence.

As the words of Huo Shouying requesting Su Chen to undertake the sect evaluation upon his first day spread throughout the vicinity, another wave of gasps rang out.

This... this... how is this possible? Has the sect head gone mad?

The monthly assessment of the Burning Heaven Sect was not so easy.

Even Ling Long furrowed her brows, feeling that the sect head might be overly confident. Was he expecting Su Chen to take the monthly test now and with his results to subdue himself?

It was pure fantasy.

Even if Su Chen truly was a unparalleled genius, he couldn’t do it.

However, it seemed that the sect head had made up his mind, and no one could persuade him otherwise.

"Huo Shouying, you really are brainless," Bai Zhen glanced at Huo Shouying from the high platform, his eyes cold and mocking.

Then, Huo Shouying shouted, "To the Fire Tower!!!"

Fire Tower.

This was the number one Supreme Treasure of the Burning Heaven Sect and the treasure used to assess the sect’s disciples.

The Fire Tower consisted of ninety-nine floors.

Each floor housed a Fire Beast, with the beast on one floor being stronger than the one on the floor below!

During every monthly assessment, all participating disciples had to do was to challenge the Fire Beasts in the Fire Tower.

The higher the floor of the Fire Tower where the challenged Fire Beast resided, the stronger the disciple’s strength was naturally.

So far, all records relating to the Fire Tower were set by Ling Long in the history of the Burning Heaven Sect.

Ordinary Outer Sect Disciples of the Burning Heaven Sect could typically only challenge the Fire Beasts on the fourth or fifth floor.

Ordinary Inner Sect Disciples could usually challenge the Fire Beasts between the tenth and the thirteenth floors.

And each of the thirty Core Disciples could challenge the Fire Beasts above the twentieth floor.

In the most recent monthly assessment, Yang Pi successfully challenged the Fire Beast on the twenty-ninth floor, securing second place in the results.

Meanwhile, Ling Long’s result was defeating the Fire Beast on the thirty-sixth floor.

The gap between the two was huge!

Ling Long’s defeat of the Fire Beast on the thirty-sixth floor of the Fire Tower was also the best result in the history of the Burning Heaven Sect.

Furthermore, there was a very important point: defeating the Fire Beasts in the Fire Tower didn’t simply depend on having formidable strength.

The entire Burning Heaven Sect primarily focused on fire, and the Fire Tower was even more so centered around fire.

As a result, understanding fire, cultivating fire, and controlling fire, etc., were necessary to better battle the Fire Beasts. Otherwise, even if one was strong, facing a Fire Beast would be very disadvantageous.

This was also why everyone in the Burning Heaven Sect was puzzled and dumbfounded when they heard Huo Shouying asking Su Chen to challenge the Fire Tower right away.

Because today was Su Chen’s first day at the Burning Heaven Sect. Could he understand fire, cultivate fire, control fire? Such talk was nonsense!

A Su Chen who didn’t understand fire and had never encountered a Fire Beast, even if very strong, would hardly be able to achieve any results facing the Fire Beasts in the Fire Tower, possibly creating the biggest joke in history.

However, regardless of what all the disciples in the sect thought, Huo Shouying had given his command.
