The Ninth Genius Tower was the one that changed the most frequently, because in everyone's eyes, it was the weakest of the nine towers.
Qinchuan put down his bowl and chopsticks, shaking his head. It seemed like he needed to change his seat. It would be troublesome if this continued.
A young man stood outside. He looked very handsome, but there was a hint of arrogance on his face.
"That's Zhou Yan, ranked seventh. Why is he challenging the ninth tower?" Someone asked.
"Zhou Yan would find the eighth or ninth genius tower for a fight every day. He just beat up the eighth genius tower yesterday," someone explained.
Qinchuan walked out and looked at Zhou Yan. From the discussions around him, he knew that Zhou Yan was from the seventh tower. That's why he said he wanted to change to another tower. What a coincidence.
Zhou Yan was 18 years old, but his cultivation base was already at the peak of the Martial Dao Master realm, the same as Qinchuan.
"Won't you lose face if you challenge me?" Qinchuan smiled.
"Don't think that you can secure the ninth tower just because you defeated Li Feng. Today, I'll let you know that even if you stay in the tower, you'll still be beaten up," Zhou Yan said with a mocking smile.
The nine towers were arranged according to the rankings. There was a certain gap between each tower. Most of them had competed with each other, and the rankings would change accordingly.
The ninth and eighth towers changed the fastest, while the seventh tower was very stable.
"I wonder if any of them beat you up?" Qinchuan asked.
Zhou Yan shook his head.
"That means you're pretty despicable." Qinchuan looked at him.
Under normal circumstances, the geniuses in the Genius Tower would challenge the geniuses in the front, and the geniuses in the tent would challenge the last two people in the Genius Tower. Someone like Zhou Yan was purely meddling in other people's business and had nothing better to do.
What? I'm despicable?
Zhou Yan's expression darkened. Qin Chuan's attitude caused him to be extremely unhappy. In the past, whenever the 8th and 9th ranked disciples saw him, their faces would turn pale with fright. It was always him who toyed with others. When had he ever been toyed with like this before?
"Brat, I'll let you know that there's always someone better than you out there."
After saying that, Zhou Yan soared into the sky. Like a great roc spreading its wings, he charged towards Qin Chuan. His posture was elegant and his white robes fluttered in the wind.
Qin Chuan looked at Zhou Yan who was rushing over with a calm expression.
Crossing World Step, easily dodging.
Whoosh!
Qin Chuan's figure cleverly dodged the attack. To outsiders, it looked extremely dangerous.
"Not bad, let's go again!"
Zhou Yan didn't expect that Qin Chuan would be able to dodge it. His movement technique was extremely profound, and it belonged to the strongest Yellow Grade movement technique, the Feathered Roc Movement Technique. Furthermore, he had cultivated it to the pinnacle level. Among those of the same age, there were very few who could surpass him in terms of movement technique.
But now, this kid had actually dodged it and rushed forward again. Qin Chuan dodged it several times in a row. At first, he thought that it was a fluke, but now he could naturally see that Qin Chuan's strength was extraordinary.
This brat's movement skill was simple and unadorned, as though it had an indescribable charm to it. This movement skill was clearly above his.
Zhou Yan was most proud of his movement skill. He didn't expect to be surpassed by someone younger than him in terms of movement skill. This made him even angrier.
Earth Fiend Fist!
Zhou Yan's entire body was filled with baleful aura. This aura wasn't considered evil, but it was sharp. It was different from killing intent, but it made people uncomfortable.
Earth Fiend Fist absorbed baleful aura from the earth, also known as Yin Qi. It tempered one's physical body and cultivated baleful aura. Earth Fiend Fist was very powerful.
His fists were covered in green baleful aura, emitting faint crackling sounds. The power behind it was ferocious and domineering.
Tiger Leopard Fist!
Qinchuan executed the Tiger Leopard Fist, executing it to the Perfection Realm. Boundless Righteousness poured in.
Boundless Righteousness was the perfect counter to Earth Fiend Qi.
Peng peng peng …
Both fists collided. A thunderous boom reverberated through the air. The might of the two fists grew stronger, but Qinchuan didn't move at all. Instead, Zhou Yan was forced to retreat.
Peng!
Qinchuan followed up with a swift punch, sending Zhou Yan flying. For a moment, Zhou Yan couldn't even stand up.
Qinchuan won!
"He won again …"
Zhou Yan was different. He was ranked # 7. This was a true Peak Martial Master Realm.
This was a very stable position.
"This time, Zhou Yan is dumbfounded. Didn't he say that he would let Qinchuan know that there's always someone better out there? Just thinking about it makes me want to laugh."
Zhou Yan was truly dumbfounded. He stared at Qinchuan blankly, unable to believe that everything that had just happened was real.
Qinchuan looked at Zhou Yan with a smile. He turned around and walked into Tower # 7.
However, this Zhou Yan didn't enter Tower # 9. What made everyone dumbfounded was that he directly challenged Tower # 8. Not only that, he defeated his opponent in a frenzied manner and entered Tower # 8.
This action caused the surrounding people who were gloating over Zhou Yan's misfortune to be dumbfounded.
On the second tower, a loud shout came from outside, "Everyone, come out."
When Qinchuan came out, there were already many people outside. In the middle was a young man. Qinchuan had seen him the first time he came. He could be considered a senior brother of the Genius Hall. However, he wasn't from the same batch as them. He should be close to 30 years old.
Everyone called him Third Senior Brother. His name was Jin Yan.
At this moment, Qinchuan also saw the other people in the tower. Ranked # 2 was a young man who looked like a burly man. He was especially tall and sturdy. Among so many people, he could be spotted at a glance. He was as sturdy as a bear. His upper body was bare, and his chest was covered with dense chest hair.
"Leng Qingxue is here!"
"Who's Leng Qingxue?" Yang Hu asked curiously.
"Are you dumbfounded? Leng Qingxue is the number one genius. The one who lives in Tower # 1."
…
When Qin Chuan saw Leng Qingxue, he was also stunned. To think that the person ranked first was actually a woman. Her long hair draped over her shoulders. She had a cold and clear face, perfect facial features, a tall and slender figure, and a graceful figure. Especially her pair of eyes, arrogant and cold.
Number one was indeed strong. She was at the Great Circle of the Martial Path Master Realm. Moreover, there was a faint cold aura around her.
She was indeed strong.
"Everyone is here. Silence!"
Third Senior Brother looked around.
The surroundings quietened down.
Third Senior Brother's position in the Genius Hall was very high. He was in the first batch of disciples of the sect leader. He was just a disciple, not a disciple. Even so, his position was still very high.
It was said that there were only nine disciples in the first batch. So far, only one of them was the real disciple of the sect leader. The rest were just disciples.
"I have good news for you. The sect leader will be recruiting a personal disciple this time. He will choose one or even a few of you. You have to grasp the opportunity." Third Senior Brother said.
At this moment, everyone's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.
Personal disciple of the sect leader!
As long as they could become the personal disciple of the sect leader, their future achievements would be limitless.
"There is roughly less than two months. Everyone, prepare well during this period of time. This time, Immortal Cloud Sect has prepared an actual combat opportunity for you all."
"Actual combat opportunity?"
"What actual combat? Will there be any danger? "
"Since it is an actual combat, there will definitely be danger."
…
They often sparred with each other, but everyone knew that there wouldn't be any danger to their lives. Therefore, Immortal Cloud Sect would often find some relatively safer actual combat opportunities for them.
Everyone was curious what kind of actual combat opportunity Immortal Cloud Sect would give them.
"The number of demonic beasts in the Evil Dragon Valley in the depths of the Dragon Creek Mountain has reached a certain number. This opportunity will be given to you all. Some of these demonic beasts are very powerful, and there are even some who have reached the level of Martial Path Great Grandmaster. Your objective this time around is to kill these demonic beasts."
Immortal Cloud Sect was located at the head of the Dragon Creek Mountain. The Dragon Creek Mountain was practically the backyard of Immortal Cloud Sect, while the Evil Dragon Valley was a training ground set up by Immortal Cloud Sect using formations. Demonic beasts could only enter and not exit. Furthermore, there were certain restrictions. After the number of demonic beasts reached a certain number, the people of Immortal Cloud Sect would be sent there to train and increase their combat experience.
This time around, it was said that there would be Martial Path Great Grandmaster level demonic beasts. Therefore, the people of the Genius Hall would be sent there.
"I hope that this actual combat will be able to stimulate more of your potential. Immortal Cloud Sect will give merit points based on the number of demonic beasts you kill and your cultivation realm. Merit points can be used to exchange for cultivation techniques, martial techniques, elixirs, weapons …"
"Then how are the merit points calculated?" Someone asked.
"Martial Path Great Grandmaster initial phase is one merit point, Martial Path Great Grandmaster middle phase is two merit points, Martial Path Great Grandmaster late phase is three merit points, Martial Path Great Grandmaster peak is four merit points, Martial Path Great Grandmaster perfection is fifteen merit points, Martial Path Great Grandmaster is fifty merit points," Third Senior Apprentice Brother Jin Yan said.
Furthermore, merit points were much more precious than gold. For example, one merit point could be exchanged for 300-year-old medicinal herbs, like ginseng, salvia miltiorrhiza, etc.
More importantly, it could be exchanged for cultivation techniques. Furthermore, one could exchange for Yellow Grade cultivation techniques, martial techniques, and even Black Grade cultivation techniques and martial techniques.
