Chapter 53

Huang Yu did not pursue. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he couldn't. Although he had defeated Nianshangcheng and left him severely injured, his own true essence had been completely drained, leaving him without the strength to fight again. However, he still had to put on a show.

"How about that? I told you you're a scumbag, and you are a scumbag. Even though your cultivation has reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, you can't even defeat someone at the Human Infant Realm. If I were you, I would have long since smashed my head against the wall and died."

"You..." Nianshangcheng was so enraged by Huang Yu's words that he spat blood again.

"Huang Yu, Gu Xin, you wait and see. Those who offend me will not have a good end. I will make you die without a place to bury your bodies." After spitting blood, Nianshangcheng slowly got up, his eyes filled with endless resentment. This battle had ruined his reputation, made him lose face, and the woman he loved had fallen for someone else. That person, despite having a lower cultivation, had severely injured him. How could Nianshangcheng not be resentful?

"Amazing, truly amazing. I've decided, from now on, I'll be your little brother. Please take me in." Seeing this scene, Yin Feng was incredibly impressed. Although his cultivation was one level higher than Nianshangcheng's, if they really fought, he might not easily win. Huang Yu was only at the Human Infant Realm, and even with his powerful sword, it was impossible for him to defeat the opponent in one move. What was even more impressive was that he could make the opponent spit blood from anger. That was the highest realm, killing without a trace.

"Be my little brother?" In a short moment, Huang Yu had recovered a lot of strength. Hearing Yin Feng's words, he was slightly taken aback, then said, "Being my little brother isn't a simple matter. I'm afraid you can't do it."

"Why? Does being your little brother have requirements? No, no, that's not right. A great person like you, of course, has requirements for taking in a little brother. Without requirements, it wouldn't be fitting for your status."

"..."

Huang Yu was at a loss for words. This guy really had a vivid imagination.

"Pay no attention to him, Huang Yu. Let's go to the Lingyun Tower. I'll accompany you to challenge it." Gu Xin pulled Huang Yu aside and said, "With your current strength, you will definitely be first on the Human List, and you can even enter the top ten, or even the top five, on the Heaven-Piercing List."

Huang Yu nodded, also wanting to see what the Lingyun Tower was all about.

"That's right. What kind of person is my big brother? He will definitely be first on the Human List, and first on the Heaven-Piercing List." Yin Feng chimed in.

"What are you following for? Be careful, or I'll beat you up." Seeing that Yin Feng was still following them slyly, Gu Xin glared at him.

"Whatever, oh, I get it, I get it." Yin Feng gave them an ambiguous look and said, "Big brother, I won't disturb your two-person world with your wife. I'll leave, I'll leave right away."

Huang Yu was speechless.

Gu Xin's cheeks turned slightly red, and she scolded, "Go away, get lost, or I'll deal with you."

"Be a lady, be a lady, or big brother won't like you."

Gu Xin was very angry and, in her fury, slapped at him. Seeing this, Yin Feng quickly dodged, and his laughter echoed far away.

"How embarrassing, why is my heart beating so fast? Could it be... could it be that I really have a good feeling for this rogue? Impossible, I've only just met him, how could I like him?" Gu Xin thought, her face turning redder, but Huang Yu didn't notice, as he was focused on the Lingyun Tower.

The Lingyun Tower has two challenge entrances.

One is the entrance for the Heaven, Earth, Human, and Immortal Lists, and the other is the entrance for the Heaven-Piercing List.

The Heaven, Earth, Human, and Immortal Lists are on the right, while the entrance to the Heaven-Piercing List is on the left.

"This is the Lingyun Tower, the Heaven-Piercing List?" Huang Yu came to the left side of the Lingyun Tower and looked at the tall stone gate. Beyond the stone gate, one is teleported into the trial area inside the tower.

The trial area of the Heaven-Piercing List has a total of thirty-six levels, and the difficulty increases by a factor of two with each level.

The Heaven-Piercing List is one thing, but as for the Heaven, Earth, Human, and Immortal Lists, Huang Yu didn't care much. They were just the four major lists of Seven Waters City. If it were the entire True Martial Continent, they would have some significance.

Huang Yu wasn't the type to seek attention. This time, challenging the Heaven-Piercing List was just to see how much potential he had. After all, everyone has a sense of comparison, and Huang Yu was no exception. Although he didn't like to seek attention, he still wanted to know how his potential compared to others, whether he was stronger or weaker.

"Huang Yu, do you plan to challenge the Heaven-Piercing List first?" Seeing Huang Yu standing at the entrance to the Heaven-Piercing List, Gu Xin asked.

"Yes, I want to see how much potential I have. As for the Heaven, Earth, Human, and Immortal Lists, they don't have much meaning to me." Huang Yu smiled slightly and said in a calm tone.

"That's true. With your current strength, challenging the Human List would indeed be meaningless." Since Huang Yu could defeat Nianshangcheng, who was at the Primordial Spirit Realm, he would undoubtedly be first on the Human List.

You must know that Nianshangcheng was once first on the Human List. Now, with his cultivation breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm, he was still defeated by Huang Yu. What more could there be to doubt? So, whether he went or not made no difference.

"However, if you want to challenge the Heaven-Piercing List, there are a few things to note. In the Heaven-Piercing List, you don't have your own weapon. There are weapons inside, and you can choose them yourself. These weapons are extremely ordinary, and they won't provide any enhancement. Therefore, what is measured inside is your personal potential without relying on external objects." Gu Xin explained, "The first five levels of the Heaven-Piercing List are actually about facing yourself. The first level requires you to defeat one shadow of yourself, the second level two, the third level four, the fourth level eight, and the fifth level sixteen."

Huang Yu's eyes widened when he heard this. Sixteen, what a joke, sixteen of himself, how could that be possible?

"That's why, throughout history, very few people have been able to break through the first five levels of the Heaven-Piercing List, let alone the thirty-six levels of the Lingyun Tower." Gu Xin said.

"Gu Xin, which level did you break through in the Lingyun Tower?"

"The third level."

"What?" Huang Yu was even more surprised, "The third level is already the 15th place on the Heaven-Piercing List of Seven Waters City?"

The Heaven-Piercing List has been around for many years. Over the years, anyone who has broken through the third level has entered the 15th place on the Heaven-Piercing List. This is truly astonishing.

"Don't think the Heaven-Piercing List is that easy. In Seven Waters City, over the years, only a thousand people have truly broken through the second level and entered the third level." Hearing Huang Yu's tone, Gu Xin rolled her eyes and said.
