High Martial Arts Storm

Lien Chan-ying.

A second-year student at the Four Seasons Martial Arts Academy.

He landed on a frisbee in front of Tang Xue and the other two, and immediately bowed.

"Lian Zhanying, what realm has your cultivation broken through to?" Tang Xue asked with a smile.

"Seven-Star Warrior Realm," Lian Zhanying laughed.

"Not bad, not bad. With your cultivation speed, you can rank in the top three even among your peers. Keep up the good work and try to break through to the Nine-Star Battle General Realm before your junior year," Tang Xue praised.

"I will definitely try my best," Lien Chan-ying said hurriedly.

"You've come here now to try and break through the Heavenly Path?" Tang Xue asked.

"That's right."

Lian Zhanying nodded and said confidently, "I failed on the fourth level last time. After half a year of training, I feel that I can pass the fourth level and advance to the fifth level this time."

"Okay, let's begin!"

"good!"

Lian Zhanying took a deep breath, preparing to step onto the stairs, when suddenly his expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and he asked, "Instructor Tang, Instructor Meng, what are you doing here...?"

"Yang Haocheng, one of Instructor Meng's students, is currently attempting a challenge. We've come to take a look," Tang Xue replied.

Yang Haocheng?

This name sounds familiar!

Lian Zhanying thought for a moment and suddenly remembered that two or three months ago, his headmaster had told him about this Yang Haocheng. He was said to be very outstanding and the most talented and highest-level among this year's freshmen.

"I wish him success in getting through the third level," Lian Zhanying said with a smile, then stepped onto the stairs.

The third layer?

Tang Xue chuckled silently.

Yang Haocheng's excellence is unparalleled among his peers, and he is already not far behind even the second-year students of the Four Seasons Martial Arts Academy.

in case……

Yang Haocheng was able to pass the fourth level, while Lian Zhanying still failed this time. So when Lian Zhanying returns here, his expression will probably be quite interesting, right?

"Yang Haocheng, you'd better step up your game!" Tang Xue muttered.

time flies.

An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Haocheng has successfully passed through the third level and even withstood more than five times the spatial gravity to enter the illusion of the fourth level.

Three Red Crystal People.

Thirty level-two mutated beasts.

This force was very strong. Even though Yang Haocheng had broken through to the four-star warrior realm and his combat power was almost comparable to that of a seven-star warrior realm expert, he still had a hard time killing it.

"We can't fight them head-on; we have to charge forward."

"My goal is not to kill the enemy, but to use this fourth level of the path to climb the fifth level of the ladder."

"We've only fought our way through one-sixth of the distance."

The fighting continues, and their positions are slowly shifting forward.

Despite the continuous injuries suffered by the three Crimson Crystal Humans and the Level 2 mutated beasts, Yang Haocheng's injuries were also increasing, and the injury to his left arm was even affecting his attack power.

"Break it!"

He finally managed to mobilize all three forces simultaneously.

His internal energy, spiritual energy, and mental energy merged instantly, and after flowing through his meridians, an even stronger power erupted from Yang Haocheng. With the posture of one man guarding a pass against ten thousand men, he sent the two Crimson Crystal Men flying. He then charged forward like lightning, successfully killing three more level-two mutated beasts before continuing his frantic charge forward.

There are no obstacles ahead.

The remaining level-two mutated beasts couldn't keep up with his speed.

Only one of them, a Crimson Crystal Man whose combat power was comparable to an eight-star warrior, charged forward with lightning speed, getting closer and closer to Yang Haocheng.

Two or three minutes later.

Yang Haocheng suddenly stopped, turned around and slashed at the Crimson Crystal Man who was still charging forward a dozen meters away from him.

"Damn it..."

The opponent roared in anger and immediately raised his sword to defend himself.

This strike.

Although it didn't inflict serious damage on the opponent, it caught them off guard and sent them flying backward.

Yang Haocheng had no intention of pursuing him. Using the recoil, he staggered backward, twisting his body as his feet touched the ground, and continued to sprint forward.

at last.

He rushed out of the flat road on the fourth floor and stepped onto the stairs above.

"The gravity is stronger now."

Yang Haocheng's shoulders slumped, and dozens of bloody gashes on his body simultaneously gushed out even more blood.

Apply pressure to the acupoints to stop the bleeding.

As internal energy surged rapidly through the meridians, strands of internal energy also merged into the flesh and blood, controlling the blood so that it no longer flowed towards the wound.

"At least six times the spatial gravity. Based on the gravity superposition of the previous four steps, if I want to climb these ninety-nine steps, I will probably have to endure more than seven times the spatial gravity."

"I can still hold on, but the path to the fifth level will probably be difficult. The Seven Crystal People and mutated beasts I encounter will likely be even stronger."

"Give it a shot!"

"People die for wealth, birds die for food. If you can pass the fifth level, you will get an extra 40 million star coins."

With a determined look in his eyes, Yang Haocheng adjusted his posture and slowly began to climb upwards.

More than twenty minutes later.

Just as Yang Haocheng ascended these steps and entered the illusionary path, another figure appeared on the steps.

Lian Zhanying was covered in blood. When he stepped onto the first step, his wounds burst open, and his legs buckled, causing him to kneel down.

pain!

He can endure it!

However, his injuries were too severe, and he had already reached his limit by being able to pass through the fourth level.

"Never mind! Anyway, there will be opportunities every month in the future, so there's no rush. Now that I've passed the fourth level, I can consider it as having achieved my goal."

Lian Zhanying stood up straight again, trembling all over, and then jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

For an instant.

As the immense pressure dissipated, he quickly retrieved the frisbee and flew towards the foot of the mountain.

"what?"

"Counselor Tang and Instructor Meng are still here?"

Lien Chan-ying landed in front of the three.

"Not bad, you moved up four places in the rankings and successfully passed the fourth level." Tang Xue glanced at Lian Zhanying and said casually.

"Counselor Tang, why haven't you left yet?" Lian Zhanying asked.

After leaving the illusion, his injuries had completely disappeared, as if he had never been injured at all. However, intense fatigue made him appear listless.

"Yang Haocheng hasn't finished his challenge yet, so we're not in a hurry to leave," Tang Xue said.

"How is that possible?"

Lien Chan-ying looked incredulous.

He knew very well that Yang Haocheng had gone to conquer the Heavenly Road earlier than him, and he had already passed the fourth level and stepped onto the steps to the fifth level, without encountering Yang Haocheng along the way.

What does this tell us?

This shows that Yang Haocheng has achieved greater heights and gone further than him.

That's not right!

The other person was just a freshman, while he was already a sophomore.

"Nothing is impossible. If you didn't deliberately leave Tongtian Road, then it means you're not as good as Yang Haocheng," Tang Xue said calmly.

"I……"

Even Zhan Ying was speechless; only his expression became exceptionally interesting.

Own……

Not as good as Yang Haocheng?

A mere freshman?

I am the second strongest fighter among the sophomores, and my cultivation level has already broken through to the Seven-Star Battle General Realm. Could it be that Yang Haocheng's cultivation level is even higher than mine?

"Don't you want to admit that Yang Haocheng is better than you?" Tang Xue asked with a smile.

"I……"

"If you don't want to admit it, then stay here and wait a while! Look at the ranking on the stone tablet, he has already surpassed you," Tang Xue said with a faint smile.

Ranking?

Lian Zhanying hurriedly looked towards the stone tablet.

His ranking was 2,875.

He discovered that Yang Haocheng's ranking had indeed surpassed his, now standing at 2,856.

"What exactly is the situation with Yang Haocheng?"

"If I risk my life on the Path to Heaven, I can indeed climb those ninety-nine steps and reach the fifth level of the Path to Heaven. My ranking will probably improve by a few places."

"However, I probably can't reach Yang Haocheng's level, and it will be difficult for my ranking to improve further."

"A freshman actually surpassed me, this...!"

Lien Chan-ying was very upset.

even……

Under Tang Xue's gaze, he felt a strong sense of shame.

"Counselor Tang, I'm going back now," Lian Zhanying said, bowing his head.

"What's the rush? Wait a little longer!" Tang Xue said with a faint smile.

"what?"

"Don't you want to know just how far he's capable?" Tang Xue asked with a faint smile.

"I……"

Lian Zhanying suppressed the shame in his heart.

He wanted to know!

He was already outmatched by Yang Haocheng, so he wanted to know if Yang Haocheng could surpass the best guy in their year.

The fifth level of the Heavenly Road.

Yang Haocheng was fighting fiercely.

This time, all the enemies he faces are now Red Crystal People.

There were a total of twenty Crimson Crystal People, the weakest of whom was at the four-star warrior realm, and the strongest of whom was even comparable to a nine-star warrior realm expert.

"kill!"

"Charge!"

Yang Haocheng roared with rage in his heart. At this moment, he could no longer care about holding back his strength. The teardrop-shaped spiritual power in his sea of ​​consciousness was being consumed rapidly, and the liquid mental power in his sea of ​​mind was also being consumed rapidly. Even the liquid internal energy in his lower dantian had been mobilized and was surging wildly in his meridians.

The fusion of these three forces creates a special energy that makes his combat power extremely strong.

but!

He unleashed his fury time and again, barely managing to advance forward, but unable to break through the blockade of the sixteen Crimson Crystal Men.

Yes!

There are still sixteen Red Crystal People left.

He had already killed two Crimson Crystal people who were comparable to four-star warriors and two Crimson Crystal people who were comparable to five-star warriors, at a great cost.

"Three minutes!"

"I can only hold on for three more minutes."

"If we ultimately fail to break through, then we will be defeated and killed."

Yang Haocheng remained calm.

He wouldn't force things if they were impossible.

He decided to push forward as much as possible before he was killed, even if it was just one more step, it would be one more victory.

Nine Profound Sky-Splitting Slash.

This is his latest crescent blade combat technique. Due to insufficient meridian opening, he can only cultivate it to the proficiency stage at most. Moreover, his cultivation time is too short, so he cannot unleash the blade moves of the proficiency stage.

therefore.

He decided to give up using this sword technique.

"I've mastered the Thirteen Mad Slashes. If I use the Crescent Blade, will I be able to unleash an even stronger attack?"

Upon realizing this, Yang Haocheng immediately changed his strategy.

even……

With his strength waning, he unleashed his seventh move: the Seven Stars in a Row Slash.

His crescent blade danced like a butterfly, unleashing a dazzling array of killing moves, one after another. Even as he was injured by two more Crimson Crystal Men, the power of his attacks only grew stronger.

Ahead!

Four Crimson Crystal People hid in fear.

The two Crimson Crystal Hands, comparable to Eight-Star Battle Generals, took their place, frantically parrying one exquisite sword strike after another, their figures constantly retreating backward.

"Die..."

The seven layers of sword light merged, resembling a blade line capable of tearing through space, forcing the two Crimson Crystal people, who were comparable to eight-star warriors, to dodge to the sides.

Behind them, only one Crimson Crystal Man, comparable to a nine-star War General, remained.
