Chapter 60

"Let's see what's so scary about the tenth floor." Huang Yu still believed Lulu, but he was just unwilling to admit it.

He stepped in.

Sword light, countless sword lights shot towards him.

"Evade, evade."

The terrifying sword light made Huang Yu extremely frightened, unable to resist, and he retreated.

"Crossing sword qi? So powerful." Huang Yu dodged, swung the Zijin Sword in his hand, and shouted, "Raging Thunder Dragon."

"Bang."

The Zijin Sword collided violently with the sword qi, and Huang Yu was thrown back.

Before he could stand up, countless sword qi shot towards him again.

"Damn it, how can there be so much sword qi? Is this place a world of swords?" Huang Yu was extremely frustrated. These sword qi were so terrifying that he couldn't resist them at all. Now, Huang Yu finally understood why Lulu said he had no chance of succeeding on the tenth floor.

"Lulu."

"Master, how is it? Lulu didn't deceive you, did I?"

"How can I pass this level?" Huang Yu knew that if possible, Lulu should have a way.

"It's impossible. With Master's strength, there's no way to do it. Unless Master can comprehend the Sword Domain," Lulu shook her head and said.

"Sword Domain?"

"Yes, unless Master can comprehend the Sword Domain, otherwise, it's impossible to break through this level," Lulu said.

"What is the Sword Domain?"

"The Sword Domain is the domain of swords. It is a special domain formed by sword practitioners when they reach a certain realm. This domain is a world formed by sword qi, called the Sword Domain," Lulu explained. "To comprehend the Sword Domain, one must first comprehend sword qi, then sword intent, and finally form the Sword Domain. Master hasn't even comprehended sword qi, let alone the Sword Domain. So, Master shouldn't even think about it. Wait until Master's strength improves and reaches the Thunder Tribulation Realm, then come back to break through this level." Lulu shook her head and said.

"Is there any way to instantly comprehend the Sword Domain?" Upon hearing that the Sword Domain was so powerful, Huang Yu's heart raced. If he could obtain the Sword Domain, wouldn't his strength increase exponentially?

"Don't even think about it," Lulu replied.

"Really no way?"

"No."

Seeing Lulu's serious expression, Huang Yu knew there was no way and nodded helplessly.

"Whoosh." Sword qi mercilessly shot towards Huang Yu.

"Damn it, if I can't provoke it, can't I avoid it?" Huang Yu turned his head and saw the entrance he had just come from.

He swung his sword fiercely, forming a wall of sword light to block the terrifying sword qi. Then he leaped and instantly returned to the entrance of the ninth floor.

After leaping out, Huang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

"He failed."

"Impossible."

"He retreated to the ninth floor."

"Failed."

"Really failed."

"Indeed, the tenth floor isn't that easy to break through."

"Finally stopped."

"Too terrifying, he rushed to the tenth floor in one breath."

"His cultivation is still too weak. He's only at the Human Infant Realm. If his cultivation were at the Primordial Spirit Realm, he might have broken through the tenth floor."

"Getting to the tenth floor is already a stroke of luck. Wanting to break through the tenth floor is just a dream."

"That's because his cultivation is too low. If he had come later with higher cultivation, he would definitely have broken through the tenth floor and might have broken the True Martial Continent's record."

"He's out, he's out."

"Huang Yu, Huang Yu, Huang Yu."

"Genius."

"Pride of Seven Waters City."

"I want to marry him."

"Huang Yu, I love you."

As soon as he came out of the tower, Huang Yu felt what it was like to be a celebrity. The entire scene was in an uproar, with shouts and people surging forward.

Huang Yu was startled. What was going on?

Was it because he had reached the tenth floor?

Seeing the crowd surging towards him, Huang Yu felt his scalp tingle.

He had seen many storms before. Facing thousands of enemies and countless ghosts and zombies, he had never been afraid. But facing this surging crowd, he was at a loss.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed him.

"Come, follow me."

It was Gu Xin.

Huang Yu nodded.

Gu Xin pulled him and leaped into the sky.

Then a pair of water-blue wings appeared on her back.

She pulled Huang Yu and flew away.

"He's gone."

"He flew away."

"Who is that? Who is that woman?"

"What kind of eyesight do you have? Don't you know Gu Xin of the Divine Stone Pavilion?"

"Gu Tian's daughter from the Divine Stone Pavilion? That genius girl with water and wood attributes?"

"Who else? If it weren't for her father Gu Tian, Huang Yu would have been killed by Liu Guangming."

"Liu Guangming? What happened?"

"Don't you know? How embarrassing, your information is so outdated. I don't know how you've survived." The person said disdainfully.

...

...

Seeing Huang Yu leave, a person hurriedly left and came to a courtyard. He knocked lightly on the door and pushed it open.

"Master, the target has left."

"Follow him."

"It's not possible, Master."

"Why not? I'm not asking you to kill him. Can't you do such a small thing?" The young master was somewhat angry.

"He flew away."

"How is that possible?" The young master stood up in shock, "Has his cultivation reached the Yin-Yang Realm?"

Only when a practitioner's cultivation breaks through the Thunder Tribulation Realm and reaches the Yin-Yang Realm can they fly. Hearing that Huang Yu had flown away, the young master was startled. The Yin-Yang Realm was no small feat; there were only a few in the entire Seven Waters City, and they were all old people.

If someone so young had already reached the Yin-Yang Realm, that would be incredible.

For such a person, unless you could kill them in one strike, you should only retreat. Fighting them would be courting death.

"No, no, it was Gu Xin, Gu Xin from the Divine Stone Pavilion who took him away."

"Ah, it's her."

"Master, what should we do?"

"You fool, don't you know to guard the Divine Stone Pavilion? Since Gu Xin took him, they will definitely go to the Divine Stone Pavilion. Just guard outside the Divine Stone Pavilion." The young master kicked him and said.

...

...

"Divine Stone Pavilion, I don't believe you'll stay in the Divine Stone Pavilion for the rest of your life." Outside the Divine Stone Pavilion, Nian Shangcheng watched Gu Xin take Huang Yu inside, gritting his teeth.

Huang Yu, of course, didn't know that many people were now targeting him, hating him to the bone and wanting to kill him.

After Gu Xin took Huang Yu into her courtyard, she finally landed, released Huang Yu's hand, and her face turned red.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Gu Xin's flushed face, which was so beautiful, Huang Yu was puzzled and thought she was tired, so he asked with concern.

"Ah... I'm fine, what could happen to me? By the way, your cultivation... has broken through again?" Gu Xin came to her senses and, to cover her thoughts, quickly changed the subject.

"A small breakthrough."

"Is this called a small breakthrough?" Gu Xin's eyes widened. Before coming to her place, Huang Yu's cultivation was only at the Primordial Core Realm, and it wasn't even consolidated. Now, he was already at the fourth level of the Human Infant Realm, and this was just in two days. If this was called a small breakthrough, what would be called a major breakthrough?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just stating the facts."

"You... you call this a small breakthrough, what would be a major breakthrough?" Gu Xin was completely speechless.

"Gu Xin, don't get excited. The reason I reached the fourth level of the Human Infant Realm so quickly is because of special circumstances. So, it's not that impressive."

"What special circumstances?"

"I can't tell you that." Huang Yu shook his head.

"If you don't tell me, fine, what's the big deal? I don't care. Although you've made such great progress, you're still far behind me." Gu Xin huffed, "You took advantage of me before, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. Now, we should settle it, right?"

"Um, I... that... I didn't mean to, Gu Xin, please be magnanimous and forgive me?" Huang Yu's face turned dark as he begged for mercy.

"If you didn't mean to, then you did it on purpose?" Gu Xin approached step by step, while Huang Yu slowly retreated.

He muttered to himself, how could she look so scary? He was a man, a man of honor, and he had his dignity. How could he be afraid of a woman? But thinking was one thing; seeing Gu Xin's eyes, Huang Yu didn't dare to say it. He thought to himself, I'll just admit defeat; a good man doesn't fight with a woman.

"Gu Xin, I... okay, I was wrong. What do you want?" Huang Yu decided to be open, thinking, if I resist, I'll still be in trouble, so he looked at Gu Xin with a "I don't care" attitude.

"That's what you said." Gu Xin's face lit up with a smile. Seeing Huang Yu admit defeat, she was very happy, her lips curling up and her eyes forming crescent moons.

"I said it. As long as it doesn't violate principles or make me harm myself, I can agree to one request." Huang Yu thought about it. Being constantly pestered by her wasn't good. He had many things to do, and in a few days, he would leave the Divine Stone Pavilion. After all, Gu Tian had helped him enough. Now that his cultivation had broken through, he had the strength to protect himself from Liu Guangming and Nian Shangcheng's revenge.

"One request, okay."

"Tell me, what request?" Huang Yu looked at Gu Xin.

"You have to take responsibility for me." Gu Xin looked at Huang Yu, blinking her eyes, and her tone became serious.

"What?" Huang Yu was startled. Did he hear wrong? Was he hallucinating?

"I said, you have to take responsibility for me. You have to marry me." Gu Xin stared at Huang Yu. She was a person who loved and hated openly. Once she determined her feelings for Huang Yu, she no longer hid them and boldly expressed her love. Although her face was flushed, she didn't back down and bravely faced Huang Yu.

"I... I..." Huang Yu was stunned. He never expected such a result. He never thought Gu Xin would confess to him and ask him to marry her.
