âThe you back then?â
Lou Qianxue raised her eyebrows. She looked at the illusory handsome man with a puzzled expression.
The man smiled and said, âThatâs right. Back then, I was the first person to break into the eighth level of the trial tower hundreds of years ago! I was also the strongest person among all those who had broken into the trial tower!â
âOh? You were the strongest among all the people who had broken into the trial tower?â Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. âCould it be that the test on the eighth level is to defeat you?â
The man nodded with praise. âYes, as I was the strongest among all the people who had broken into the trial tower, I have always been the strongest guardian on the eighth level of the trial tower. You have to defeat me to pass the eighth level and reach the ninth level! At the same time, after defeating me, youâll replace me as the strongest guardian. Youâll become the assessor on the eighth level until someone appears one day to defeat you.â
âSo this is the case!â Lou Qianxue muttered to herself. âItâs just that I have a question.â
âSay it.â
âYou were the first person to have broken into the eighth level back then. So when you came here, who was the strongest guardian in this trial tower?â
The man revealed a bitter smile. âIt was me.â
âHuh?â
âBut... it was a ten times stronger version of myself back then.â
âOh! So when you broke into the eighth level back then, you were ten times weaker than youâre now?â
âRight.â
Lou Qianxue narrowed her eyes. âInteresting. Then do you know whatâs on the ninth level of the trial tower?â
The man shook his head. âI donât. Back then, I had broken into the tower numerous times, but I kept stopping at the eighth level.â
âFrom the looks of it, the eighth level is indeed very difficult. No wonder Xu Tailang stopped here after three years. However, Xu Tailang is Xu Tailang, and I am I!â
Lou Qianxue straightened her face and retreated a few steps. âGet ready! Let me learn from you, the strongest guardian in the trial tower!â
âGreat! I also want to see how strong a genius can be hundreds of years later.â
âGlimpse of Floating Light!â Lou Qianxue flew behind the man and chopped downward with one stroke of her sword.
âHuh? Itâs impossible to hurt his illusory body!â
âMystic Spirit Ice Crystals!â
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A transparent layer of ice crystals covered every place on the eighth level of the trial tower.
However...n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The illusory figure still moved at a fast speed.
Boom!
A cold gust of wind from a palm ruthlessly attacked Lou Qianxue!
âThe sword canât chop him, and the ice canât stop him. Instead, his unpredictable moves easily hit me. It was no wonder that even Xu Tailang, who had focused on cultivating for three years, was no match for him!â
Lou Qianxue retreated a few feet and closed her eyes to ponder the matter. âHow should I defeat this kind of opponent?â
âLittle girl! Youâre underestimating me! Youâre actually thinking of something else at this moment...â
Hu!
The man clenched his fists. His illusory fists seemed a thousand catties heavy.
Boom!
With astonishing power, they forcefully attacked Lou Qianxue!
However...
Whoosh!
A huge warm wave suddenly forced him to retreat.
âHuh?â The man stopped with a stunned expression.
He saw a faint blue flame suddenly ignite the body of the girl, who was cold and harmless either. It made her look like a god of fire, who was awe-inspiring and inviolable.
The scorching flame distorted even the air.
âSo hot! As if it can even burn the soul! This is an Abnormal Fire! Itâs even more impressive than the Abnormal Fire I experienced last time!!!â The man looked at Lou Qianxue in shock. âWhatâs happening? For decades, not a single person broke into the eighth level. Itâs not only rare for two people to break into the tower, but both of them have Abnormal Fires too!â
âHuh?â Lou Qianxue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the man. âYouâre saying that Xu Tailang also has an Abnormal Fire?â
