It was Xiao Fang's first attempt at the Tower of Combat Power and he was able to achieve such a result. This made many students feel ashamed.
The Five Elements Academy had a total of over a hundred students. Some of the older students could not even make it onto the Battle Power Tablet. However, Xiao Fang not only made it onto the Battle Power Tablet, but he was also ranked eighty-eighth. This was definitely an honor for a newcomer.
After the crowd recovered from their shock, they looked at Fang Chen.
They wondered if the man who defeated Hei Wu would be able to make it onto the Battle Power Tablet.
"Kid, I advise you not to attempt it. You will embarrass yourself if you fail to make it onto the Battle Power Tablet," Hei Wu said disdainfully with a mocking smile on his face.
In his opinion, Fang Chen was only talented in formations. As for combat power, he was definitely lacking.
Fang Chen glanced at Hei Wu and walked into the Tower of Combat Power.
The Tower of Combat Power had a total of nine levels. The moment Fang Chen stepped into the Tower of Combat Power, he appeared on the first level.
The first three floors, to the students of the Five Elements Academy, did not pose any threat at all.
The ninth level of the Tower of Combat Power corresponded to the ninth level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
On the first level, Fang Chen encountered some demonic beasts. These demonic beasts were all at the first level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
He easily stepped into the second level and then the third level.
After a while, Fang Chen stepped into the fourth level.
When he reached the fourth level, Fang Chen finally felt the pressure. On the fourth level, more than ten demonic beasts appeared. These demonic beasts were all at the fourth level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
Fang Chen's current cultivation was only at the third level of the Spiritual Whirlpool Realm. It would be difficult for him to fight against a fourth level Spiritual Whirlpool Realm demonic beast.
Roar!
These demonic beasts roared at the sky and immediately attacked Fang Chen fiercely.
Swoosh!
Fang Chen used the Flowing Water Swordplay. Suddenly, a wild ripple of water floated in the sky. Under Fang Chen's control, it suddenly attacked the demonic beast at the front.
Puchi!
The demon beast at the front was caught off guard and was pierced through by Fang Chen's sword, dying instantly.
When the other demonic beasts saw this, they raised their heads and roared. With a majestic aura, they began to fight with Fang Chen.
Bang bang bang
In the blink of an eye, the battle had reached its climax. Although Fang Chen was able to seize the opportunity to kill a few Demonic Beasts, there were too many Demonic Beasts. As time passed, Fang Chen was unable to cope with them.
"I wonder if we can use array formations."
Fang Chen's eyes flickered. He was ready to try and see if he could use the array formation.
Huala
Fang Chen did as he was told. With a flick of his wrist, he set up the Void Plundering Array.
The Void Plundering Formation appeared and encapsulated the beasts within it.
Fang Chen noticed that the Demonic Beasts were frantically attacking the Void Plundering Array. The array was also on the verge of breaking.
"It's useful."
Seeing this, Fang Chen was overjoyed. His figure flashed and he entered the array formation. He executed the Flowing Water Sword Technique to kill the Demonic Beasts.
Every time the array formation was about to break, Fang Chen would set up another array formation. He was able to set up a chain of arrays, so the Demonic Beasts were unable to break through his control of the array formation.
In this way, after about 15 minutes, Fang Chen had killed all the Demonic Beasts.
When all the Demonic Beasts were killed, the entire fourth floor began to tremble. Then, a majestic aura instantly filled the air.
"This is …"
Fang Chen's face turned solemn. He looked around and found that the aura was too strong. It was actually suppressing him.
Dong
The entire ground was shaking. Fang Chen's body was also shaking. He activated the sword body and vigilantly guarded against everything around him.
Roar!
Just as Fang Chen was carefully inspecting the fourth floor, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"This is …"
Fang Chen was instantly shocked. This Demonic Beast exuded a terrifying aura that made his heart palpitate.
"This is a Demonic Beast at the peak of Lv 4 Spiritual Whirlpool Realm." Ancestor Bronze reminded from within the python sword.
"Peak of Lv 4 Spiritual Whirlpool Realm."
Fang Chen's eyes flickered as he continuously retreated.
With his current strength, he could easily crush a Mid Lv 4 Spiritual Whirlpool Realm martial artist. However, it would be difficult to deal with a Late Lv 4 Spiritual Whirlpool Realm martial artist, let alone a Demonic Beast at the peak of Lv 4 Spiritual Whirlpool Realm.
The Demonic Beast roared at the sky and directly launched a fierce attack at Fang Chen. Seeing this, Fang Chen quickly set up the Void Plundering Array.
Crack!
The Void Plundering Array was instantly shattered. Fang Chen did not even have time to set up a second array before he was hit by the Demonic Beast.
With a bang, Fang Chen's body was sent flying. He felt his Qi and blood churning. It was very uncomfortable.
"Retreat."
Fang Chen thought to himself. Then, in a flash, he left the fourth level and went to the third level.
At this moment, all the martial artists outside were waiting for Fang Chen to come out.
Hei Wu's face was filled with sarcasm as he said coldly, "He hasn't come out for such a long time. Could he have been killed by the Demonic Beast?"
Everyone could hear the disdain in Hei Wu's words.
However, no one dared to refute him.
None of the people present had combat power comparable to Hei Wu. He was ranked 71st on the Battle Power Tablet, and it was not an exaggeration.
Xiao Fang and the rest looked at the Battle Power Tower with worry.
Just as Hei Wu finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared from the Battle Power Tower.
Then, everyone's gaze turned towards the Battle Power Tablet.
At this moment, the Battle Power Tablet shone brightly. The dazzling light instantly filled the entire Battle Power Tablet.
After this scene lasted for a while, when the dazzling light completely dissipated, there was a slight change on the Battle Power Tablet.
The eyes of all the martial artists were filled with shock.
"How is this possible?" Even Hei Wu cried out involuntarily.
He could not believe that Fang Chen actually made it onto the Battle Power Tablet, and was ranked 93rd.
On the Battle Power Tablet, Fang Chen's name was at the 93rd position. Everyone saw that behind Fang Chen's name, there was a combat power evaluation.
Fang Chen's combat power evaluation was at the later stage of Four-star.
This meant that Fang Chen's combat power was comparable to a later stage Four-star.
The Battle Power Tablet was not related to cultivation base, but to combat power.
Therefore, there were many people whose cultivation base did not match their combat power.
However, Fang Chen, a martial artist at the Third Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm, was able to rank 93rd on his first attempt at the Battle Power Tower. This was too shocking.
"A newcomer can achieve such a result on his first attempt at the Battle Power Tower."
"Don't forget, he is only a martial artist at the Third Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm."
"This kind of talent is too scary. Who said that he is only talented in arrays? I think his martial arts talent is not any worse than his array talent."
"Yes, Third Level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm, and his combat power is at the later stage of Four-star. This kind of combat power is too amazing."
At this moment, in front of the Battle Power Tower, most of the martial artists were amazed by Fang Chen's potential.
Only Hei Wu's face was burning, as if he was slapped by someone.
"Hmph, isn't he just a later stage Four-star?"
Hei Wu said in a deep voice.
Hearing Hei Wu's words, Fang Chen's eyes lit up. He looked at Hei Wu and said, "Everyone here started from the weakest and grew step by step to where they are now, including you, Hei Wu."
"I entered the Five Elements Academy much later than all of you, and my starting point was not as good as yours. If I have enough time, I will definitely surpass you," Fang Chen said in a deep voice.
For Fang Chen, as long as he had enough time, surpassing Hei Wu would not be a problem.
"Hmph, with your strength, you want to surpass me?" Hei Wu sneered. "Even if I give you a year, you will not be able to surpass me."
Hearing this, Fang Chen raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "One day, you will know."
After saying this, Fang Chen turned and left.
Xiao Fang and the others followed closely behind.
Although Fang Chen and the others made it to the Battle Power Tablet and caused a small commotion, it was nothing to the geniuses of the top five classes.
In the following days, Fang Chen and the others' lives returned to normal.
Every day, other than going to class, they would cultivate. Fang Chen also used this time to cultivate the Flowing Water Swordsmanship completely.
As Fang Chen's cultivation increased, the Flowing Water Swordsmanship seemed to be unable to satisfy Fang Chen's needs. Fang Chen wanted to find another cultivation technique.
At this time, his gaze landed on the Cultivation Technique Hall.
In the Five Elements Academy, there was a huge Cultivation Technique Hall. The mountain where the Cultivation Technique Hall was located was called the Cultivation Technique Peak.
On this day, Fang Chen came to the Cultivation Technique Peak alone, and then appeared at the entrance of the Cultivation Technique Hall.
"Senior, I want to enter the Cultivation Technique Hall to find a suitable cultivation technique for myself." Fang Chen said to the Guardian Elder at the entrance.
The Guardian Elder's hair was disheveled, and he looked like a beggar. He lazily opened his eyes and said, "Go in, the price is already marked. After you choose, come out and pay the Spirit Stones."
Fang Chen nodded and entered the Cultivation Technique Hall.
The Five Elements Academy's Cultivation Technique Hall had a large number of powerful cultivation techniques. Fang Chen simply scanned them, and found that the lowest level cultivation technique was a Level Five cultivation technique.
However, the students who were able to enter the Five Elements Academy would normally not choose a Level Five cultivation technique.
Most martial artists would choose a Level Six cultivation technique, and some would even choose a Level Seven cultivation technique.
Within the Cultivation Technique Hall, there were a total of thirty-six Level Six cultivation techniques, and three Level Seven cultivation techniques.
From this point, one could see how precious a Level Seven cultivation technique was.
Ten Level Six cultivation techniques were no match for a Level Seven cultivation technique.
Fang Chen walked to the Level Seven cultivation technique and took a look. The price of each of the three Level Seven cultivation techniques was over a hundred million Spirit Stones, which shocked Fang Chen.
"As expected of a Level Seven cultivation technique." Fang Chen could not help but exclaim.
Within the Five Elements Academy, there were probably only a few students who could afford a Level Seven cultivation technique.
Level Seven cultivation techniques were too precious, and even the Five Elements Academy only had three of them. Hence, the price was very high. If it was in the outside world, it would be priceless.
Fang Chen's gaze shifted from the Level Seven cultivation technique to the Level Six cultivation technique. The price of a Level Six cultivation technique was much cheaper.
Most of the Level Six cultivation techniques were between ten to thirty million Spirit Stones.
"Choosing the one that suits me the most is the best." Fang Chen thought to himself.
Although a Level Seven cultivation technique was very powerful, if it was not suitable for him, he would rather choose a Level Six cultivation technique.
