reax;
Zhang Jingtao had a very delicate appearance. Furthermore, judging from his appearance, he appeared to be in his thirties.
One had to know that on the path of martial arts, it would take years or even decades to cultivate. A Spiritual Whirlpool Realm warrior in his thirties was definitely considered young.
"Although you failed, you have laid the foundation for the next breakthrough," the dean said as he patted Zhang Jingtao's shoulder lightly.
"Zhang Jingtao, since you have come out of seclusion, do you want to challenge the Tower of Combat Power?" the bone weapon saint master suddenly asked from behind the Bloody Spear Man.
"Yes, while you were in seclusion, the first place has changed hands," Saint Master Danqing said.
Hearing this, Zhang Jingtao was stunned and asked, "Who is the first place now?"
Zhang Jingtao knew very well that he had succeeded in passing the Heaven Challenge and comprehended a True Meaning. After that, he challenged the Tower of Combat Power and became the first place.
After being in seclusion for such a long time, someone had actually surpassed him.
"The dean's direct disciple, Star and Moon," Elder Han said.
Hearing this, Zhang Jingtao was surprised and turned to look at Star and Moon in the distance.
Zhang Jingtao glanced at Star and Moon and noticed the Dark Yin True Meaning on Star and Moon's body.
He knew Star and Moon well and knew about Star and Moon's Dark Yin Body. Now that he noticed the True Meaning on Star and Moon's body, he was naturally not surprised.
With the True Meaning and the cultivation of Star and Moon, it was not a problem for them to surpass him and become the first place on the Battle Power Tablet.
If it was an ordinary warrior, it would be impossible for him to notice Star and Moon's True Meaning unless he was a True Martial Realm warrior.
However, Zhang Jingtao was different. He also had True Meaning.
True Meaning possessors were especially sensitive to True Meaning, so he sensed it immediately.
However, just as he retracted his gaze from Star and Moon, he noticed Fang Chen beside Star and Moon.
"Yes."
Zhang Jingtao's expression changed slightly. He carefully looked at Fang Chen as if he wanted to see through him.
"True Intent!"
Zhang Jingtao was very surprised. What exactly had happened in the Five Elements Academy while he was in seclusion? Why had two True Meaning holders appeared all of a sudden?
"Interesting."
Zhang Jingtao muttered to himself as he nodded slightly at Fang Chen.
Although Zhang Jingtao had failed to break through to the Genuine Martial Realm, his powerful strength was still shocking.
His cultivation had reached half a step into the Genuine Martial Realm. He was only one step away from the Genuine Martial Realm.
As for Zhang Jingtao, he did not disappoint. He came to the front of the Tower of Combat Power and wanted to challenge it.
"I bet one million top-grade spirit stones that Zhang Jingtao will regain first place."
"Who the hell would bet with you? Zhang Jingtao has reached half a step into the True Martial Realm. No matter how monstrous Star and Moon are, they have no advantage in terms of cultivation."
"Yeah, looks like Zhang Jingtao is going to take back first place."
After Zhang Jingtao stepped into the Combat Tower, the students began to discuss among themselves.
Even some of the students who supported Star and Moon were shocked by Zhang Jingtao's strength.
At this moment, in front of the Combat Tower, there were countless students, including Fang Chen and Star and Moon.
Of course, the retarded girl, Lin Yaner, was also there.
Everyone was paying attention to the changes in the Combat Tablet. They wanted to know if Zhang Jingtao could regain first place.
Regarding this, Star and Moon did not feel any pressure. She was not interested in the first place anyway. As for whether she could maintain her position, she did not care at all.
In the clouds, the Dean and the others looked down and chatted with each other.
"How long do you think Zhang Jingtao will take to regain first place?" The Dean suddenly asked.
This was the realm. The students below were discussing whether Zhang Jingtao could regain first place, while the higher-ups in the clouds were discussing how long Zhang Jingtao would take to regain first place.
In their eyes, Zhang Jingtao's ability to regain first place was not a problem at all.
Now, the most important thing was how long Zhang Jingtao would take to challenge the Combat Tower.
"I estimate ten minutes." The first person to speak was Saint Master Dan Yun.
"No need. Six minutes is enough for a Half-Step True Martial Realm cultivator." The Bone Weapon Saint Master shook his head and said.
"Five minutes." Saint Master Dan Qing said.
"Seven minutes." Saint Master Xuan Long said.
Elder Han and Bloody Spear Man also expressed their guesses. They believed that Zhang Jingtao would take at most three minutes to come out of the Combat Tower.
"Dean, what do you think?" Elder Han asked.
The gazes of the few True Martial Realm experts all landed on the dean, waiting for his reply.
"One minute." The Dean said.
Hearing the Dean's words, they were stunned. Was the Dean that confident in Zhang Jingtao?
"Just wait."
Seeing that they did not believe him, the Dean laughed and said.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but only thirty seconds had passed since Zhang Jingtao went in and the Dean and the others were guessing.
There was no movement on the Combat Tablet at all.
The Combat Tower was also closed. This meant that Zhang Jingtao had not finished challenging the Combat Tower.
At this moment, Zhang Jingtao had already reached the ninth level of the Combat Tower.
He was facing a Half-Step True Martial Realm cultivator.
Bang!
Zhang Jingtao activated his True Intent and smashed the cultivator with a punch.
Then, two Half-Step True Martial Realm cultivators appeared, and Zhang Jingtao killed them with a punch each time.
Just like that, when Zhang Jingtao successfully killed the last cultivator, the entire Combat Tower emitted a dazzling light.
In the clouds, the Dean and the others' eyes lit up. They were very excited.
The Combat Tower had not emitted a dazzling light for a long time.
The few of them knew best what this meant.
"He passed!"
The Dean said excitedly. Elder Han, Bloody Spear Man, and the others were also very excited.
There were nine levels in the Combat Tower. To pass the ninth level, one had to be at the peak of the Spiritual Vortex Realm.
The Five Elements Academy had not had such a student for a long time. They did not expect Zhang Jingtao to give them such a big surprise this time.
When Zhang Jingtao passed, only fifty seconds had passed.
What did this mean? It was ten seconds less than the one minute that the Dean had guessed.
Don't underestimate these ten seconds. With Zhang Jingtao's strength, he could kill many Level 9 Spiritual Vortex Realm martial artists in these ten seconds.
Of course, the most important thing was that Zhang Jingtao used fifty seconds to pass the Combat Tower. This was unprecedented in the history of the Five Elements Academy.
"Hahaha, Zhang Jingtao is indeed the most outstanding disciple of the Five Elements Academy." After the shock, the Dean laughed.
The other True Martial Realm martial artists could not help but sigh. If they were in the same realm, they would not be Zhang Jingtao's match.
The Combat Tower emitted a dazzling light. No one seemed to know what had happened.
However, in the blink of an eye, the dazzling light of the Combat Tower disappeared. Then, the Combat Tower opened and Zhang Jingtao walked out calmly.
At this moment, Zhang Jingtao's name instantly returned to the top of the Battle Power Stele.
First place on the Combat Tower, Zhang Jingtao. Combat Tower: Limit of Nine Stars.
Seeing this scene, the entire Combat Tower was in an uproar.
Countless students stared at the Combat Tablet in shock, their hearts filled with shock.
Even Fang Chen could not help but sigh.
Zhang Jingtao's strength was too strong. There was a huge gap between him and Zhang Jingtao.
Even the Star and Moon could not defeat Zhang Jingtao.
"Too strong." Fang Chen thought to himself.
Zhang Jingtao did not care about the shock of the crowd. In a flash, he turned and left.
He left behind a noisy crowd.
Zhang Jingtao's strong return gave the Five Elements Academy a boost. All the students were on the chessboard. Zhang Jingtao had led the Five Elements Academy's students to defeat the younger generation from the other two prefectures in the Tian Xu Mystery Land.
Instead of saying that it was a competition for the Inheritance of the Mystery Land, it was more like a competition between the younger generation from the three prefectures.
Originally, the competition between the younger generation from the three prefectures was held once every six years.
The next competition would be held a few years later. However, with the appearance of the Tian Xu Mystery Land, the top experts from the three prefectures would meet in advance.
In the entire Five Elements Academy, there were students everywhere discussing Zhang Jingtao's name. His strength was shocking.
The higher-ups of the Five Elements Academy also held an emergency meeting about this. The meeting was about Zhang Jingtao.
Zhang Jingtao's strength made Fang Chen even more convinced that he had to work hard to increase his strength in this trip to the Tian Xu Mystery Land.
One day, the Eternal Heaven Alliance came to the Five Elements Academy again.
Of course, there were some other forces that came with the Eternal Heaven Alliance. These forces were considered big forces in the Five Elements State.
However, compared to the Eternal Heaven Alliance, there was still a gap.
When the Tian Xu Mystery Land was first discovered, the higher-ups of the Five Elements Academy personally went to the Tian Xu Mystery Land to explore.
Wherever the Tian Xu Mystery Land was, there were cracks in the space and the rules were in chaos. Experts of the True Martial Realm could not enter at all. If they tried to force their way in, the Tian Xu Mystery Land would collapse.
That would not be worth it.
This was because the Tian Xu Mystery Land appeared at the border of the Five Elements State. This place was connected to the other two states.
The Tian Xu Mystery Land was the place where a Quasi-King expert died. Its appearance shocked the entire Ancient Sword Continent. Naturally, the other two states also knew about it and the higher-ups came to explore.
In the end, after the higher-ups of the three states discussed together, they decided that each state would have 50 spots to enter the Tian Xu Mystery Land.
The three states added up to 150 people. If there were more people, the space would become even more chaotic. The Tian Xu Mystery Land would also disappear into the void. The consequences would be unimaginable.
The higher-ups of the three states did not dare to take the lives of these top geniuses as a joke.
The Five Elements Academy took 30 spots out of the 50 spots in the Five Elements State. As for the Eternal Heaven Alliance, because they won a competition, they took 10 spots. As for the other Sect, they only had 10 spots.
Today, the Eternal Heaven Alliance brought 20 martial artists to the Five Elements Academy to enter the Tian Xu Mystery Land.
The dean of the Five Elements Academy also personally gave a lecture to the 30 students who were going to enter the Tian Xu Mystery Land.
On the main peak of the Five Elements Peak, the dean stood quietly. The Bloody Spear Man and the others stood behind him and looked down. On the square, 30 students stood quietly.
