The stolen magic is a bit magical

Countless pairs of dragon eyes were put on at the same time...

Most people are not qualified to witness the wonders of the Heavenly King Realm, but within the Dragon Eye, information is transmitted from the Hidden Dragon Headquarters Forum...

Lin Xiaosu crossed the twenty-ninth floor and entered the thirtieth floor.

He became the 83rd person in the history of Qianlong to enter the Heavenly King Realm.

"He entered the Heavenly King Realm based on his true abilities! What an astonishing person he is!" someone shouted. "Where are the members of the review team from that day? Come out and say something. Why did they refuse to let such a genius join the Hidden Dragon Academy back then?"

"Among the eighteen policy offices, the two with real power have been proven to be traitors; it must be their doing!"

"The two powerful strategists weren't part of the review team. We need to investigate who on the review team received their instructions, causing Qianlong to miss out on a prodigy..."

The forum was instantly abuzz with activity.

Lin Xiaosu had only just stepped into the Heavenly King Realm, yet the boundless wave she stirred up had already topped the charts on the Qianlong Headquarters Forum.

The headquarters forum is the highest-level forum, accessible only to personnel at headquarters.

These comments will eventually attract the attention of the highest levels of government.

There are signs that the time bomb planted by the review team a long time ago has finally exploded today.

They will face a crisis of trust for their hasty "rejection" that day.

A whisper from the Heavenly King of Wonderful Sound gently entered Lan Yao's ears: "Is this your second objective? To avenge him? To put the review team in the spotlight?"

Lan Yao's gaze shifted over, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions.

She offered no explanation.

Because this interpretation is taboo.

Yes, besides wanting to increase Lin Xiaosu's bargaining power, as mentioned earlier, she also had this other purpose in encouraging Lin Xiaosu to enter the Thirty-Three Towers: to use the power of the people at headquarters to force the review team to change their mind.

Yesterday's three interrogations uncovered 26 traitors, but none of them implicated the review team.

But does this prove the review team is innocent?

I'm afraid that's not necessarily true!

Who exactly was preventing Lin Xiaosu from joining Qianlong at that time?
Whose orders were they following?

Even if the person who gave the order was the Second Strategy Division.

Among the veterans on the review team, some certainly had their own selfish motives.

The review team prioritizes confidentiality in its procedures. Even though she is a superstar, she cannot access the review records for that day. However, once a question arises, the higher-ups will naturally have to provide clarification.

This is "firing a volley" at the higher-ups.

This is a questioning of those above.

This is a major taboo for members of the Hidden Dragon faction.

But there is a way to do what Blue Demon wants to do.

She was the direct planner who sent Lin Xiaosu into the Thirty-Three Towers. However, this plan was not her doing. It originated from the top planner of Qianlong: Bai Shui!
Lin Xiaosu had no idea that his visit to the Thirty-Three Towers would involve so many articles.

He was focused on only one thing: what exactly would the Heavenly King Realm hold...?

The Heavenly King Realm, under the holographic projection, gives the impression of a grand martial arts epic.

Blue sky and white clouds, the mighty river flows eastward, towering peaks are like sword cuts, and a bridge connects the north and south.

This is an ancient stone bridge.

On the stone bridge, a person slowly raised their head.

In his hand was a long, rusty sword.

His eyes, however, shone brighter than a newly forged sword.

His clothes fluttered in the wind, carrying a mysterious and enigmatic meaning.

Lin Xiaosu stood beside a large tree, quietly watching the projection. Suddenly, he reached out and broke off a branch from the tree next to him.

People outside the village who can see this scene through the longan.

Only those with level three or higher access privileges.

Lan Yao tensed up: "He's being very cautious!"

The Heavenly King of Wonderful Sound also tensed up: "A swordsman's eyes can see the opponent's swordsmanship."

Lan Yao licked his lips: "This swordsman, in the realm of cultivation, is a standard 'Sky-Gazing' expert. Currently, only eight people have been able to break through!"

"If he succeeds, in terms of skill alone, he will officially stand above us!" The Heavenly King of Wonderful Sound chuckled softly: "Are you hoping he succeeds or fails?"

Neither of them could overcome this swordsman's barrier.

That's why they could only reach the thirtieth floor and couldn't go any higher.

Although they failed to pass, their races didn't involve direct combat. Blue Fairy's race was about shapeshifting, and Wonderful Sound's race was about infrasound. They were still honorable in their defeat.

However, even a superstar has pride. No superstar would be happy to be trampled on and crushed.

However, Lan Yao laughed: "Actually, I knew a long time ago that he was superior to me in terms of combat strength. I didn't feel any resistance to being suppressed by him. On the contrary, I was very much looking forward to it."

The Heavenly King of Wonderful Sound stared at her in a daze...

What do you mean by "I'm looking forward to being dominated by him"?
Why do I find this sentence a bit quirky?
Am I being too sensitive?

Or are you just too insensitive?
On the other side, Xuefeng Tianwang's eyes also showed caution: "I actually overlooked one point: on the three lower levels, he has not actually used any weapons."

Jing Lei chuckled softly: "With the holographic projection, I've temporarily folded a wooden sword. I can finally appreciate the amazing swordsmanship that Xuehen spoke of."

Do you think he can break through?

“I don’t doubt whether he can break through; what I care about is how many moves he can make it through and what kind of swordsmanship he will use!” Jing Lei said.

Lin Xiaosu tilted his hand to the side, his palm as sharp as a knife, and sliced ​​off the branches and leaves, transforming the branch in his hand into a sword. A wooden sword!

He looked up and saw the swordsman take a step out onto the bridge!
With that step, the stone bridge crumbled and shattered.

He was in mid-air when a sword descended from the sky!

With this sword strike, the canopy of the large tree behind Lin Xiaosu was completely flattened, and countless leaves mixed with the omnipresent sword energy descended from the sky.

“Not bad! Peeping at the heavens!” Lin Xiaosu uttered four words.

A faint light flashed, and a sword light shot out from his hand!
This sword strike was incomparably sharp!

Yes, it lacks any domineering aura, at least, it is far less domineering than the swordsman's swordsmanship; it is only sharp!
Besides being sharp, he has nothing!
Chi!
The sharp sword light swept past the swordsman and vanished without a trace.

The swordsman in the air was split in two!
Blood splattered across the sky, falling like leaves in a storm.

Amidst the rain of blood, Lin Xiaosu stepped across the battlefield and stood beside the broken bridge. The wind blew, staining her clothes with blood...

"One sword!" Blue Demon and Heavenly King Miaoyin suddenly clasped hands together.

Their eyes met, and they both saw surprise and excitement in each other's eyes.

On the other side, Xuefeng Tianwang's eyes widened suddenly: "One sword! So sharp, so full of brilliance. Having entered the Tianwang realm, he has truly revealed his full brilliance."

Lin Xiaosu had been very restrained in all the previous challenges.

Even when facing the little Karami who was in the Realm of Peeping, he would observe the other's moves and exchange a few blows with him.

But upon reaching the Heavenly King Realm, facing a Sky-Gazing expert who was far superior to his previous opponents, he instead slew his enemy with a single sword strike.

“There’s a rule about the Thirty-Three Towers: below the thirtieth floor, the Dragon Eye can be viewed; above the thirtieth floor, only those with level three access are qualified to view it.” Jing Lei smiled slightly. “He keeps a low profile in front of people on the lower floors, but shows his sharpness on the upper floors. This kid really does something unconventional.”

Ordinary people are incredibly powerful in front of those at the bottom of society.

He was extremely humble in front of those in positions of power.

He, on the contrary.

He was very humble in front of people from the lower classes, but extremely assertive in front of people from the upper classes.

What he wants is for ordinary people to be indifferent to him, while making those above the rank of Heaven feel his power?
The scene before Lin Xiaosu changed, and it seemed as if he had stepped across the great river and arrived at the foot of the giant peak.

A thunderclap resounded atop the giant peak.

Accompanied by an incomparably tall figure.

The man descended from the sky, wielding a giant sword.

One slash!
Incredibly powerful!

Lin Xiaosu's hair flew up.

He truly felt the pressure.

Compared to the previous level, the guardians' combat power has increased dramatically in this level!

The combat power of the person in the air has already reached the Sky-Gazing Realm!

No wonder all seven Heavenly Kings, including Bloodstain, were no match for him!
The most effective way to deal with such an attack is to use your movement skills to maneuver around it.

However, Lin Xiaosu did the opposite...

He raised his hand, and the wooden sword in his palm seemed to support a giant mountain.

The second move of the Separation Swordplay: Heavy with Parting Feelings!
boom!
Lin Xiaosu flew away, her blood churning.

Dust billowed between him and the burly man with the knife, and a deep trench appeared beneath their feet.

The burly man roared, his voice echoing across the surrounding area, and then struck again with his blade!

This strike was three times more powerful than the previous one.

Lin Xiaosu countered with another sword strike.

boom!
Retreat another thirty meters!
The third attack, and they retreated again...

Lan Yao's eyes widened: "Knowing that he couldn't defeat the opponent's strength, he didn't dodge or avoid, but insisted on a head-on confrontation. What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

“We don’t understand swordsmanship!” said the Heavenly King of Wonderful Sound. “He probably knows that if he dodges, the opponent’s continuous sword strikes will surely lead to his defeat!”

This is the fundamental reason why the previous seven Heavenly Kings failed.

Faced with the attack from mid-air, all seven of them temporarily avoided the brunt of the blow. However, this avoidance only made things worse, as the opponent's blade continued relentlessly without any respite. As a result, all seven of them rolled on the ground, becoming increasingly passive and ultimately suffering an inevitable defeat.

There was only one exception.

That was Jing Lei. Jing Lei's movements were as fast as lightning. While others simply dodged, he dodged by waiting for an opportunity to strike. After a hundred fierce battles, he ended his opponent's life with a lightning-fast strike, becoming the only person to reach the thirty-third floor since the tower was built.

Lin Xiaosu, on the other hand, completely broke with conventional methods of dealing with the enemy.

The very first attack was not avoided.

Instead, it's a head-on confrontation.

With that one touch, he was sent tumbling to the ground.

After more than ten head-on collisions, he retreated several hundred meters in total.

However, for the first time, a look of seriousness appeared in Jing Lei's eyes: "Good lad, so this is the kind of battle tactic!"

"What?" Even Xuefeng Tianwang beside him was confused.

"He cultivates the Rejuvenation Technique, which is the fastest way to restore true energy among all techniques. He's using his endurance to fight his opponent to the death!"

"Endurance?" Xuefeng Tianwang was incredulous: "The person in the holographic projection consumes 1% to 1.5% of the energy with each full-force attack. This is the theoretical value for combat, and in reality, very few people can achieve it. You mean that his Rejuvenation Technique, under full-force recovery, can actually exceed the theoretical value in terms of combat power consumption?"

"Take a closer look and make a comparison!" Jing Lei said, "At first, he was knocked back twenty to thirty meters each time, but now, he's only knocked back a few meters each time. If nothing unexpected happens, after another ten or so moves, he can be evenly matched with his opponent." (End of Chapter)
