Eternal Heavenly Emperor

Everyone was astonished as they looked at the number "91" on the White Jade Plate. Previously, this guy had either not made any movement for a dozen days or suddenly surged ahead. After reaching Level 90, he immediately cleared Level 91.

Passing Level 91 so quickly suggested that Level 92 wouldn't be too hard for him.

Everyone couldn't help but glance at Huo Quan.

—— The record for Level 92 was held by him. If it got surpassed... what would the expression of this expert on the Fledgling Dragon List be like?

Huo Quan's face turned dark. Although he didn't yet know who this challenger was, the mere thought of someone daring to challenge his status made him uncomfortable. If it was another expert from the Fledgling Dragon List, it would be fine, but the problem was that he had been in this tower for many days, and he was the only one from the Fledgling Dragon List here.

Due to age restrictions, not all experts from the Middle Nine Counties' Fledgling Dragon List had come over, probably only about nine individuals, but these nine people were divided into four directions, and he was the only one here, which was quite a coincidence.

However, if an unknown character surpassed an expert from the Fledgling Dragon List, how would he bear it? Would he have the face to meet others in the future?

Unknowingly, he had developed a strong hostility towards this mysterious person.

"Level 92! Cleared!"

"Oh my god, who is this guy? He can actually compete with Huo Quan!"

"No no no, clearing levels doesn't directly equate to combat power."

"Indeed, in a life-and-death battle, I'm not afraid of 18 martial masters with Eight Meridians, but to hit ten vital points on a dummy simultaneously... I've always been known for my strength, not speed."

"Well, for now, we can only say that this guy is good at clearing levels. Whether his actual strength can match up to Huo Quan will only be known after a fight."

Everyone was discussing, while Wu Shitong, Qin Yulian, and the big fat guy seemed lost in thought, because Chu Hao was the only one who wasn't around, and it was impossible to die in the tower trial. Once failed, you'd be teleported to the bottom floor.

Could it be that this guy had broken through to the Martial Sect?

But that was too incredible. During the previous martial arts conference, Chu Hao hadn't shown any signs of breaking through to the Martial Sect. How could he suddenly make such a leap now? It was too fast!

But if he hadn't broken through to the Martial Sect, then how could one explain his half-month silence and sudden outburst?

——No matter how hard they thought, they couldn't possibly imagine that Chu Hao had actually reached the Ten Meridians.

Although breaking through to the Martial Sect was challenging, it could at most trap these prodigies for a year or two, but Ten Meridians? Not a single person in the entire Tianhe County or even in history had achieved this realm. Who could think of such an idea?

"Level 93!"

"My god, this guy cleared another level!"

"Now he is in first place!"

"Hiss, at this speed, could he be capable of reaching the hundredth level?"

"I seem to have heard that there's a significant change after clearing the hundredth level, but the specific details are unclear because it's been too long since anyone reached the hundredth level. The records are vague."

"Right, I think I've heard that too."

At this moment, the flashing red number had already topped the list, stepping the "92" representing Huo Quan firmly below.

Huo Quan's face was dark. He wasn't a petty person, but in his view, this was a blatant provocation against him. Since you initiated the challenge, as a Heaven Talented on the Fledgling Dragon List, he naturally had no reason not to accept it.

Once out of this high tower, he would undoubtedly challenge the other party, using his true strength to show that merely climbing a tower gave no qualification to be on the Fledgling Dragon List, nor to shake his position.

"Level 94!"

...

"Level 95!"

...

"Level 96!"

Everyone, overwhelmed by shock, began to feel numb. Now, they only cared about one thing: could Chu Hao break through the hundredth level, bringing about those extremely rare changes?

"97!"

...

"98!"

...

"99!"

...

Standing on the steps leading to Level 100, Chu Hao was just a few steps away from entering the final level. He believed it was also the last level. The feather played a crucial role, disrupting even those seemingly invulnerable dummies, allowing him to easily hit vital points and cripple them.

After adjusting his state, he took a deep breath and then strode forward.

Buzz, his body trembled slightly, and he entered a new level.

Vast, extremely vast.

The space of the hundredth level was as large as the bottom floor, meaning there were no longer multiple trial areas, only one person could be accommodated at a time.

——In fact, as one progressed upward, the space gradually expanded. The reason was simple: the higher the level, the fewer the people who could pass, thus no need for more trial areas.

This was indeed the case.

What would the opponent in this level be, and how many of them?

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A golden wooden dummy appeared ahead, standing three meters high, making Chu Hao look like a child in comparison. Upon it, Chu Hao saw 43 red dots.

43!

How was this even possible?

Chu Hao's strikes were fast, but to hit 43 targets in an instant, each with sufficient force, was utterly impossible.

Not that fast.

Whew, but the dummy wasn't giving him time to worry. It immediately launched its attack. Raising its left hand, a wave of fire burst forth, while sweeping its right hand unleashed a blizzard.

Elemental attacks!

Chu Hao was astonished. The previous dummies only used physical attacks where the strength required direct hits. This dummy was different, capable of using elemental powers.

Flames and frost affected him without even touching him. The fire was manageable since he had a fire attribute, with natural resistance and affinity for fire. But frost was the opposite, extremely threatening.

Under the suppression of Ice Frost Power, every cell in Chu Hao's body felt listless, severely impacting his combat power.

He quickly roared, activating his cells, each becoming a Flame Furnace to combat the extreme cold.

Boom!

In a clash with the dummy, his body was forced back, revealing that he was at a disadvantage in strength.

Chu Hao showed a look of surprise. He was now a martial master with Ten Meridians, theoretically equivalent to a martial master with Two Meridians in the Martial Sect—late period. To suppress him in strength, the opponent must be a martial master with Three Meridians.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Emotionless and relentless, the dummy, like the most loyal soldier, advanced toward Chu Hao again.

Chu Hao didn't meet it head-on. In fact, these dummies were impervious to gravity attacks. Even as a martial master of Three Meridians, there was no need to confront recklessly, unable to harm the opponent.

First, he had to solve the issue of hitting 43 vital points simultaneously.

Failing that, he might as well surrender.

Chu Hao activated the Sky Stepping Technique, his right hand wielding the Grey Rock Sword, continuously stabbing out.

There was no need for accuracy, as he was practicing speed.

If focusing solely on speed, he could unleash at least a hundred strikes in an instant, but most would be feints, with only one delivering destructive force.

Against the dummy, every strike didn't need to be full force but at least had to be half strength to count as an effective hit.

Highly difficult.

Chu Hao ran, the dummy chased.

If an outsider were present, they'd laugh at this scene. The dummy chased Chu Hao normally, while Chu Hao ran while striking at the air, looking either foolish or insane.

Whew whew whew, the sword light flickered. Chu Hao's sword speed increased. When the dummy closed in, he unleashed the Fire Feather, sweeping behind him. Boom, a Fire Blade slashed through, momentarily slowing the dummy.

But this was not a sustainable solution, for the dummy persistently chased him without worrying about stamina or Star Force depletion, nor hunger.

Chu Hao continued thrusting his sword, focusing solely on that task.

Previous dummies required hitting a maximum of 20 vital points simultaneously. He barely managed that, but now the difficulty had more than doubled, making mere effort insufficient.

This approach wouldn't work.

Shaking his head, Chu Hao realized he couldn't continue practicing while being chased. How long could he last? One day? Two days? Even if three days, could he realistically double his attack speed in such a short time?

He needed full-body coordination.

He had two hands and feet, all capable of attacking.

That's it.

Abruptly halting, Chu Hao turned quickly, putting away the Grey Rock Sword. Like a nimble monkey, he counterattacked the dummy.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The dummy swung its arms, its limbs like long staffs—one of fire and one of ice, compounded by powerful elemental attacks.

Chu Hao utilized his Derivation ability, weaving through the swinging "staffs" with the Sky Stepping Technique, showcasing Space-Condensing, Reverse Sky, and Sliding Step movements, becoming like a ghost.

Clap clap clap clap, reaching the dummy, Chu Hao attacked with hands and feet.

But success was unattainable on the first attempt. The dummy countered with a palm strike.

Boom!

Stunned, Chu Hao was sent flying, coughing up blood.

In that instant, he landed 57 attacks, but only 18 hit vital points—not even as efficient as using one hand.

No choice, having never fought this way before, how could he master it instantly?

"Come again!" Chu Hao laughed, wiping the blood from his mouth, charging back in.
