Chapter 310 Li Yuan Enters the Tower
Chapter 310 Li Yuan Enters the Tower
"you?"
Dou Yue glanced at Li Yuan and frowned slightly. He wanted to let Li Yuan try just now because his junior brother was too much of a homebody and had hardly ever practiced martial arts with others.
But now, seeing Pei Jiu reaching the fifth floor, there was an uproar all around and people didn’t want him to go anymore.
Although Li Yuan is only an inner sect disciple, his reputation is so great both inside and outside the temple that he is already a true disciple.
Pei Jiu had such a great example before him, he didn’t want to embarrass such an important person.
Moreover, he was also worried that this would dampen the confidence of his junior fellow apprentice. Seeing Pei Jiu reaching the fifth floor, if he couldn't even enter the first floor...
"Well, I want to give it a try."
Li Yuan looked at the huge monument in front of the tower.
There are eighteen floors in the Dragon and Tiger Tower, with the majority of people below the seventh floor and only six people above the seventh floor. The highest one is the Taoist master Long Yingchan, who has reached the sixteenth floor of the tower.
Pei Jiu reached the fifth level, which was actually a very high ranking. Among the nine hall masters of Longhu Temple, Senior Brother Long was only at the sixth level.
"you……"
Seeing that Li Yuan had informed him and walked straight towards the Dragon and Tiger Pagoda, Dou Yue's eyes twitched and he hurriedly ordered his disciples to call Xin Wenhua and others to come.
"Junior Brother Li, wait for me."
Shi Yushu didn't think so much. Seeing Pei Jiu reaching the fifth floor, his blood boiled and he couldn't wait to catch up with him.
"Li Yuan? Is he the Dragon and Tiger rookie who once caused the Azure Dragon to appear? Is he going to break into the tower as well?"
"The one behind him seems to be Master Yushu from Huanglong Villa? Is he heading for Pei Jiu?"
"Hey, it's time to have some fun!"
When Shi Yushu shouted, the atmosphere below the tower suddenly became lively. Many people present knew about the dispute between Longhu Temple and Changhong Sword Sect.
All the noisy discussions made Monk Dou Yue frown and secretly curse.
He gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and went forward with the token in hand.
"Li Yuan?"
Not far away on the mountain road, Shan Hong heard the noise from under the tower and frowned slightly. When she walked over, she saw Li Yuan walking into the tower.
There was a lot of discussion all around, and many inner disciples recognized Shan Hong and greeted him.
"Brother Shan, what about Li Yuan..."
"See, let him go."
Shan Hong withdrew her gaze, with a slightly strange look on her face.
He roughly figured out the cause and effect. It was nothing more than that Li Yuan saw Pei Jiu climbing the tower and thought that he could do it too.
pity……
"If you want to climb the Dragon and Tiger Tower, it takes more than just talent."
Shan Hong shook his head in his heart. Not only him, but also several other true disciples felt a lot of pressure due to Li Yuan's talent.
But that is definitely not now.
"Let him try, so that the disciples won't always compare him with the eldest brother..."
Shan Hong's heart moved, and she caught a glimpse of Lin Fangzhui who was walking quickly towards her. The two looked at each other, and both stopped in front of the tower, preparing to climb the tower at the same time.
Picking up the lost face is at least worth a few elixirs.
……
hum~
The moment he walked through the tower gate, Li Yuan felt a slight chill around him, as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.
He looked up and saw that he was now standing on a flat ground of yellow mud that was several miles in radius and was surrounded by hazy fog.
In front of him was a weapons rack with various weapons, and in the middle of the place stood a faceless figure holding a long sword.
"Are the methods of choosing masters for these Heavenly Destiny Mysterious Soldiers so similar?"
Li Yuan looked around with great interest. According to his experience, the spirit of the Dragon-Tiger Health Furnace must be watching him somewhere at this moment.
hum~
A faint light flickered, and in front of the weapon rack, there was also a stone tablet, which glowed faintly at this moment:
[Li Yuan, the inner disciple of Longhu, has just ascended the tower. His cultivation has reached the great success of Tongmai. The tower keeper is Lin Fangzhui (who has reached the great success of Tongmai)]
"Lin Fang is guarding the entrance?"
Li Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lin Fangzhui ranks fourth on the Dragon List. His cultivation level has reached the Great Accomplishment of Internal Refining. Although he is inferior to Xin Wenhua and Shan Hong, he shouldn't be reduced to guarding the gate, right?
'Or, was the furnace fueled?'
Glancing around, Li Yuan made a guess in his mind. He pulled out a two-meter-long sledgehammer from the weapon rack, weighed it casually, and pointed it at the man with a knife in the field.
He had long wanted to weigh up the masters at the top of the Dragon List.
Zheng!
The sound of a knife broke the silence.
The man holding the knife turned his wrist, and he moved with the knife. In an instant, he had swept across a hundred meters. The knife light sputtered and cut through the air flow, like a silver silk thread.
Come straight at me.
"Silver Moon Sword Technique, perfect level."
Li Yuan recognized this sword technique. In his opinion, Lin Fangzhui, who had mastered the art of opening meridians, was indeed extraordinary. Just from this one sword move, one could see that his attainments were far superior to those of Su Wanxiong back then.
"Your swordsmanship is really good, but..."
Looking at the long sword that was sweeping towards him, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the sword master in the Bronze Tower Divine Realm. Although they both had meridians connected, the difference between them was as huge as that between heaven and earth.
Zheng~
At the moment when the sword light hit his body, Li Yuan just held up the long hammer horizontally, allowing the sword light to pierce the hammer, his body standing tall and motionless.
"The gap is too big."
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly. If it was the sword master in the Bronze Tower Divine Realm, even if he tried his best to resist, he would definitely fly backwards.
Zheng!
When the knife was blocked, the man holding the knife turned his body and the long knife rotated with it at an extremely fast speed, like a knife dragon's long mouth, trying to swallow Li Yuan.
"Tsk."
Li Yuan casually raised the hammer and smashed the sword dragon with a light blow. At the same time, he took a step forward. With just one blow, the sword light and the man holding the sword were smashed into pieces.
...Buzz~
Almost at the moment when Li Yuan defeated Daolong, his name on the huge monument outside the Dragon and Tiger Tower also glowed with golden light and climbed to the first floor.
"It's already one floor so soon?"
Shan Hong raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
Climbing the Dragon and Tiger Tower has little to do with one's talent and physique, as it mainly tests the fighting between people of the same level. According to the information he had obtained, Li Yuan had either been practicing martial arts or working as a blacksmith in recent years, and rarely had the opportunity to compete with others in martial arts.
"Is his martial arts so solid?"
Shan Hong looked at Lin Fangzhui, but the latter didn't care much:
"Brother Shan, why are you so surprised? The tower guards are of varying strengths. Maybe Li Yuan was just lucky and randomly got a very weak one. He must have gotten away with it."
"But he can't always be lucky."
Lin Fangzhu looked around and found that more and more people came to watch the fun. Even the elder hall master appeared in the distance. He immediately had an idea and bowed and said:
"Brother Shan, I'll go try it first."
Shan Hong nodded.
Climbing the Dragon-Tiger Tower is very cumbersome. Even if a Taoist master who has already reached the sixteenth floor wants to rush to the tower again, he has to start from scratch, which is very time-consuming.
"call!"
Lin Fangzhui took a deep breath and swallowed a pill to enhance his energy. Every time he entered the tower, it would be a protracted battle.
Normally, he would never be willing to swallow a Qi-boosting pill, but now...
Putting down the long sword he was carrying, Lin Fangzhui stepped into the tower.
hum~
Amid a faint buzzing sound, Lin Fangzhui opened his eyes, skillfully pulled out a long sword from the weapon rack, and waited for the gatekeeper to appear.
Climbing the Dragon and Tiger Tower not only requires martial arts skills and a long fighting time, but also a bit of luck.
Generally speaking, the tower guards on the lower levels are weaker than those at the same level, but they have extremely bad luck and may run into the Taoist master while guarding the tower. They may be kicked out and fall shamefully on the first floor. This has happened before.
"call!"
Seeing the hammer-wielding man slowly emerging in the field, a smile suddenly appeared on Lin Fangzhui's face. This was obviously not the extremely difficult opponent in his memory.
[Lin Fangzhui, a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger True Transmission, entered the tower for the 142nd time, and has mastered the internal organ refining. The tower keeper is Li Yuan (who has mastered the internal organ refining)]
"It's Li Yuan. Looks like I'm lucky."
Lin Fangzhui relaxed his muscles and bones, feeling relieved.
His favorite tower guards are those junior brothers who are at a very low level. Although the health furnace can help them exert strength comparable to his own, that is all.
How could a martial artist who has mastered the art of opening meridians exert the full strength of one who has mastered the art of refining internal organs?
Not to mention Li Yuan, a genius who only practices martial arts but has no knowledge of killing and only has a certain level of cultivation.
Lin Fangzhui swung his long sword, his joyful mood lasting until a dragon roared:
"Roar!"
Ok? !
A domineering and violent dragon roar resounded. Lin Fangzhui looked up suddenly, only to see a tide of hammer light. An extremely violent blue-black thunder dragon, in an extremely terrifying posture,
Rushing violently.
"??!"
……
"What about people?"
Outside the Dragon and Tiger Tower, Xin Wenhua came hurriedly. He looked around but couldn't find Li Yuan, and even Dou Yue was nowhere to be seen.
"Master followed Uncle Li to explore the tower..."
The disciple waiting here had a strange look on his face and pointed at the huge monument. Xin Wenhua looked in the direction of the voice and the first person he saw was Pei Jiu who had reached the fifth floor.
then:
"Junior Brother Li actually made it to the second floor?"
Xin Wenhua was somewhat moved. Except for the first floor where only one person needs to be challenged, the Dragon and Tiger Tower has to be stacked up from the first floor onwards, with three people on the first floor and six people on the second floor.
To reach the second level in one breath, one must at least fight four battles with people of the same level and still have energy left.
This was far beyond his expectations.
In fact, many of the onlookers were also quite surprised, because Monk Dou Yue was not as fast as him and had just reached the second floor.
"Someone lost!"
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise from the crowd. Xin Wenhua looked in the direction of the sound and was relieved to see that it was not Li Yuan. However, his expression changed immediately:
"Lin Fang is chasing?!"
"Junior brother Lin?"
Shan Hong, who was waiting outside the tower, was shocked and almost thought he was dazzled. He quickly glanced at the stone tablet and found that Lin Fangzhui's name had disappeared from the tablet.
This……
"Lin Fangzhui? It's actually him?"
"He, he didn't even get into the first floor?"
"This……"
There was an uproar outside the tower. The people from the outer sects were very puzzled, and the disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Temple found it even more unbelievable. Countless people gathered around.
Lin Fangzhui was seen staggering out of the tower gate, as if his soul had been taken away. His face was pale, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, who did you run into? The hall master, the sect master, or the eldest senior brother?"
Shan Hong frowned.
Lin Fangzhui was naturally inferior to him, but as a true disciple, he was naturally also a gifted person. How could he be defeated so quickly?
"I……"
Lin Fangzhui's voice was a little hoarse. He hummed for a while before looking at the stone tablet standing nearby. Li Yuan's name was shining brightly.
"You shouldn't be..."
Shan Hong's heart skipped a beat. Seeing Lin Fangzhui closing his eyes in pain, his eyelids began to twitch wildly.
"How can it be?!"
