Chapter 1742: Power of the Fist: The Winning Streak Begins!
"Heh, indeed it's the youth, truly full of hot-blooded passion and vigor, but it's a pity there's no tactfulness, relying only on passion, still difficult to accomplish great things."
Guan Hao smiled slightly, then shook his head, the icy killing intent burst forth, enveloping Ling Xiao.
In the audience seats, there were actually three absolutely stunning women sitting there.
"Sister, why did we follow this person here? Does he have something that interests you?"
The woman asking the question was dressed in men's clothing, looking elegant and beautiful.
"Hua Huo, you don't understand, this person is called Ling Xiao, and he almost killed the Princess Consort's aide Shangguan Qing Er before, truly impressive."
Another woman, also dressed in men's clothing, spoke up before the leading one could respond.
"Is what you said true, Hua Lu?"
Hua Huo asked in surprise.
"What she said is true, otherwise, why would I be interested in him? This person is very interesting, I wonder if he can break Tianhai Ba Tu's record."
Sun Leng Chan smiled warmly.
She had participated in this underground arena before, and the highest record was only ninety levels.
The last ten levels were somewhat special, relying not on strength, but rather comprehensive ability.
If one excels in array formations or talisman seals, it will be easier to pass.
Tianhai Ba Tu was such a comprehensive person, not only domineering but also very strong and talented.
Even if the Crown Prince of the Tianhai Empire is placed across the entire White Tiger Continent, he would definitely rank among the top four, a presence that cannot be underestimated.
"Leng Chan Fairy's words are exaggerated, though that person's cultivation level seems somewhat hidden, it's impossible to break Tianhai Ba Tu's record."
At this moment, another woman's voice sounded, coming from behind Sun Leng Chan.
"Jun Mochou?"
That person was none other than Mo Chou Fairy Jun Mochou, one of the Seven Sons of the Zhengyi Sect, despite being ranked last, even the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Sea dare not underestimate her.
"Leng Chan Fairy still remembers me?"
Jun Mochou smiled.
"Of course, I remember, but Mo Chou Fairy might be underestimating him, perhaps he will soon break your current achievement."
Sun Leng Chan said indifferently.
"Really? I will wait for him at the forty-first level, hoping he arrives quickly, otherwise, the one to break Tianhai Ba Tu's record might just be me."
Jun Mochou obviously didn't think highly of Ling Xiao.
Sun Leng Chan smiled and said no more, instead refocusing on the stage.
The platform was very wide, but there was a gap and a protective wall separating it from the audience seats, to ensure the safety of the spectators.
"Young man, since you refuse to concede, report your name then, I, Guan Hao, do not kill nameless people with my knife."
Guan Hao drew out a blood-stained short knife, his expression cold, as he spoke.
"Ling Xiao!"
Ling Xiao looked casually at Guan Hao, then turned and glanced at the weapon rack at the edge of the platform.
The weapons there were ordinary, just relatively sturdy.
According to the rules of Hell Tower, martial artists cannot use magical treasures, which means Ice's Fury cannot be used, all weapons must be chosen from the weapon rack on the platform.
Guan Hao's short knife was also chosen from that weapon rack, only it was stained with much blood, appearing somewhat reddish.
"Not using a weapon?"
Guan Hao noticed Ling Xiao glanced at the weapon rack but showed no intention of taking any weapons.
"To deal with you, there's no need."
Ling Xiao gently shook his head.
"Arrogant, I'll send you to the underworld now!"
Guan Hao, in violent anger, immediately stepped with his right foot, causing the entire platform to tremble.
The short knife in his hand emitted icy sword energy, seemingly making the air on the platform much colder.
In an instant, his figure flickered, the next moment he appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
The short knife in his hand thrust forward directly, the terrifying primordial power fluctuation seemed to make the space on the platform chaotic.
The feeling was like an ice mountain directly piercing toward Ling Xiao.
"Defeat!"
Ling Xiao gently opened his mouth, then one hundred Heavenly Empress Cells blossomed, Imperial Heaven Earth Power wrapped around his arm.
He simply punched straight out.
The next moment, Guan Hao was directly sent flying off the platform.
"You're defeated."
Ling Xiao retracted his fist, casually looking down at Guan Hao lying outside the platform.
He did not take a ruthless action because there was no deep-seated hatred between them, making it unnecessary.
"What's going on!"
Guan Hao crawled up from the ground, looking fearfully at Ling Xiao on the platform, he hadn't even seen clearly how Ling Xiao made a move.
It was truly terrifying.
That kid was far stronger than imagined.
In the audience, someone who had seen Ling Xiao in the tunnel before couldn't help but shout, "That kid in the tunnel did not take action, solely relying on strange inner strength, killed dozens of bandits with Yin-Yang Realm cultivation level!"
"You mean the Bai Lang Bandit Group? That's impossible, the average cultivation level of those individuals is Yin-Yang Realm Fourth Layer, how could he possibly do that?"
Obviously, most people didn't believe it.
"Believe it or not, I suspect he will continue to challenge next, just watch and see."
On the platform, the host appeared again, then handed Ling Xiao a cup of recovery medicinal wine.
After drinking, indeed the recovery speed quickly increased.
"You are truly remarkable, young hero, but do you wish to continue challenging next? Or choose to defend the stage after receiving the reward?"
According to the rules of Hell Tower, if someone defeats the platform master and intends to continue challenging, the original platform master can still stay on the platform.
"Continue challenging!"
Ling Xiao spoke casually.
"Good, please step onto the mechanism ladder for the second level! Additionally, if any spectators wish to watch from the second level, they need to pay an additional fee of one thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones."
This Fan family certainly knows how to make money, simply for watching, one must pay a thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, which for many martial artists is quite unaffordable.
Of course, Sun Leng Chan and Jun Mochou naturally didn't mind this money, they ascended the steps to enter the second level.
Ling Xiao was directly sent to the second level platform by the mechanism ladder.
The rules on the second level were different, spectators couldn't challenge randomly, only martial artists coming up from the previous level could challenge.
"Haha, finally someone came up, otherwise I'd be bored to death."
The platform master of the second level was a young man dressed in blue attire, holding a longsword, naturally selected from the weapon rack as well.
Standing there, like an unsheathed sharp sword, just a glance showed real strength.
He looked coldly at Ling Xiao, the longsword in his hand trembling, "Ready?"
Ling Xiao nodded, yet still did not take a weapon.
The platform master of the second level was clearly angered by Ling Xiao's action, feeling that Ling Xiao was belittling him.
So he thrust his sword directly.
His sword techniques were indeed good, and his moves fierce, angles tricky.
Unfortunately, he encountered Ling Xiao.
Bang!
Another punch, still only using one hundred Imperial Heaven Earth Power, and the platform master was directly thrown off the platform.
