At the Myriad Phenomena Square, many disciples eventually did not wait to see Lu Yun.
However, they still spread the news that Lu Yun had passed through three levels and ultimately stopped at the fourteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
This news, like a stone falling into the lake, created waves, deeply touching the hearts of certain people.
A small courtyard in a secluded path was home to a towering tree.
Under the tree, Ye Xingchen, dressed in a black robe, looked at the young man in a white Star Robe with astonishment.
“Meridian Passage Realm?” Ye Xingchen’s gaze fell on the young man in front of him. When he first learned that this little guy’s innate talent had broken the Innate Talent Stone, he defied public opinion and broke his previous vow of not accepting any more disciples, taking him as a closed-door disciple.
Unexpectedly, in just over half a month, Gu Yuan had broken through from the mid-stage of Enter Martial Realm to the Meridian Passage Realm, which was truly terrifying progress.
“Master, I want to break into the Myriad Phenomena Tower,” said Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan now wore a pure white Star Robe, his eyes clear as spring water, exuding an air of nobility compared to the village boy in animal fur clothes from the past.
Ye Xingchen shook his head, “Practice first, and put the idea of breaking into the Myriad Phenomena Tower aside for a while.”
“Master, I want to gain fame like Senior Brother Lu and prove to others that I am worthy of being your disciple.”
Gu Yun’s fists clenched, his face filled with determination.
Ye Xingchen smiled and said, “Gaining fame might not necessarily be a good thing for you. Besides, you don’t need to prove anything to others. In my eyes, you are better than anyone else.”
“But…”
“Alright, you should first consolidate your cultivation. Tomorrow, 1 will teach you new martial arts techniques.”
Star Peak.
In a detached small building.
“Lu Yun has passed the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower?” Bai Haoxuan whispered, his eyes like a sword’s light as he glanced at the half sun hanging in the sky, still coloring the horizon.
Whoosh!
Dressed in a pure white robe, Bai Haoxuan flew down from Star Peak and headed towards the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
Since being promoted to a Star Palace disciple, he had been practicing hard. Upon emerging from his seclusion and hearing the news of Lu Yun’s advancement through the tower, he couldn’t sit still.
Not long after, he appeared in front of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
At this time, night was about to fall, and Myriad Phenomena Square seemed somewhat deserted, with only a dozen scattered people.
Bai Haoxuan didn’t line up and went directly into the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
An hour later, he reappeared outside the tower with an unpleasant expression and left the Myriad Phenomena Square.
On the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall, there was a message displayed.
“Congratulations to Bai Haoxuan for passing the twelfth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.”
In the valley where elite disciples lived, there was a small courtyard.
Ma Yunfei, tall and straight, with long limbs, well-defined features and a look of shock on his face, had heard that Lu Yun had passed the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
“The thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower? Lu Yun actually passed the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower?”
“Why is his progress so fast?”
“All… why?”
Ma Yunfei’s right hand, holding the gun handle, couldn’t help but exert force, making a crackling sound, his face somewhat distorted.
“Why is there such a big gap between me and him, even though we both have Level 5 Innate Talent? He has already been promoted to a Star Palace disciple and passed the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, while I can’t even get through the tenth floor.”
Ma Yunfei was a genius who had entered the Martial Academy at the same time as Lu Yun, possessing top-level 5-Star Innate Talent.
When he first entered the Martial Academy, he had exhibited brilliant talent, surpassing many other 5-Star Innate Talent students and being the first to pass the sixth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
Now, he also had not let down his 5-Star top-level Innate Talent fame, having completed a True Qi refinement.
Just recently, he had attempted to break through the tenth floor to get promoted to the Star Palace.
However, he had failed.
Who could have imagined that just a few days later, he would hear the news of Lu Yun passing the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower?
“Am I really inferior to Lu Yun and Xiao Chen?” Ma Yunfei’s hands tightly gripped the gun handle, his body shaking violently.
“What? After Lu Yun, Bai Haoxuan emerged from seclusion and broke through the Myriad Phenomena Tower, passing the twelfth floor? And he did so in one attempt?!”
The news about Lu Yun and Bai Haoxuan spread simultaneously throughout the Martial Academy. Many onlookers focused on comparing Lu Yun and Bai Haoxuan, while other martial arts practitioners with firm resolve secretly prepared to make a name for themselves.
“Passed the thirteenth floor?” Upon hearing the news, Xiao Chen did not appear to be very surprised, and calmly continued his cultivation.
An hour later, he appeared in front of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
At this time, Myriad Phenomena Square was already filled with people, all eager to break into the Myriad Phenomena Tower and make their mark.
However, the Myriad Phenomena Tower could only accommodate fifty people at a time, and the many disciples lined up in an orderly manner.
Seeing the queue with five to six hundred people, Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
In the end, he still held back his impatience and joined the queue.
Fortunately, most people were just here to try their luck and didn’t linger long, leaving the tower quickly.
Soon it was Xiao Chen’s turn.
Two hours later, Xiao Chen walked out of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
At the very top of the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall, a conspicuous message was displayed.
“Congratulations to Xiao Chen for passing the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower.”
Looking at the message, the many Martial Academy disciples in Myriad Phenomena Square were completely stunned.
Xiao Chen?
He had been in the Martial Academy for just over a year, and he, too, had passed the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower in one attempt.
“What? Not only Lu Yun, but even Xiao Chen has passed the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower? He is a 5-Star top-level Innate Talent, and so am 1. But he has passed the thirteenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, while I am still struggling on the tenth floor….”
