Hundreds of eyes and hundreds of gazes instantly locked onto the beam of light that appeared!
The light disappeared very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of the person who arrived became visible.
"Lu Xuan! It's Lu Xuan!" Lin Xinyi was the first to shout out, her face full of surprise!
As soon as Lu Xuan's figure appeared, the entire arena of martial artists was instantly in an uproar!
It turned out to be Lu Xuan, which was absolutely beyond everyone's expectations!
"My goodness! He actually managed to break into the sixth floor with just the strength of the fourth level of Body Tempering! It's simply unimaginable!"
"Genius! Absolute genius! I'm truly convinced today!"
...
The martial artists were all amazed, especially those who didn't originally have high hopes for Lu Xuan. They were completely stunned, as it was unimaginable to them that someone with the strength of the fourth level of Body Tempering could defeat five enemies with the strength of the fifth level of Body Tempering and break into the sixth floor. This kind of combat power was truly terrifying!
"I knew it would be you." Xia Ye smiled with understanding, muttering to himself. Seeing Lu Xuan's figure, he found that his usually proud self couldn't feel any jealousy at all, but rather felt a bit happy.
"Lu Xuan, it's Lu Xuan, it's really Lu Xuan." Xia Chenxi didn't know what to say, just repeatedly muttering Lu Xuan's name. Her heart was more agitated than ever before.
Then, as if she had just thought of something, she turned to Uncle Jiu with excitement and said, "Uncle Jiu, it's Lu Xuan, he really made it to the sixth floor!"
Uncle Jiu nodded repeatedly: "I know, Lu Xuan, he has given me a great surprise!"
"Haha, I told you this kid is extraordinary! Breaking into the sixth floor with the strength of the fourth level of Body Tempering, in the past ten years, the entire Tianwu Empire hasn't had a single precedent!" Xu Chang laughed heartily. He had strongly supported Lu Xuan before, and now seeing Lu Xuan really stand out, he was naturally extremely happy.
Elder Sun's smile had already frozen on his face. He had been prepared to welcome Long Tai, but reality had given him a huge joke. The person who reached the sixth floor was actually Lu Xuan!
"What's there to be happy about? He just made it to the sixth floor. He must have been instantly killed out as soon as he entered the sixth floor. Long Tai might still surpass him!" Elder Sun said, somewhat angry and embarrassed.
Uncle Jiu laughed and said, "No matter what, the sixth floor is the sixth floor. Even if he was instantly killed out, he still stepped onto the sixth floor!"
At this moment, the attendant who had taken over Lu Xuan's jade token reported Lu Xuan's results with a trembling voice, full of disbelief: "Lu Xuan, sixth floor, killed three people!"
As this voice rang out, the noise in the arena instantly stopped, leaving only the sound of people drawing in their breath.
Sixth floor, killed three people, which meant that Lu Xuan not only broke into the sixth floor but also killed three martial artists of the sixth level of Body Tempering in this short time?!
This kind of strength could no longer be described as terrifying; it was monstrous! Everyone's minds were filled with this word. This word had once been used to describe Lu Xuan's comprehension, but now it fit his combat ability just as well.
"Killed three people?! How is that possible! He didn't even spend two breaths in the sixth floor. Killing three enemies of the sixth level of Body Tempering in two breaths is absolutely impossible!" Elder Sun's voice was almost hysterical. Lu Xuan's heaven-defying performance was repeatedly slapping him in the face.
"Elder Sun! As the chief examiner, you can't casually negate a candidate's results. Can a jade token be faked?" Uncle Jiu gave him a cold look and said. In the third round, Elder Sun had forcibly set Lu Xuan's score to be the same as Long Tai's, and he hadn't said anything. Now, he was still using this trick. Did he really think he could bully him, Yan Jiu?
At this moment, the many martial artists present could only deeply admire Lu Xuan. Being able to enter the sixth floor was enough to leave them speechless, but they never expected that Lu Xuan not only entered but also killed three enemies of the sixth level of Body Tempering in less than two breaths.
Lu Xuan seemed unperturbed by the shocked or admiring gazes of the crowd. After handing over the jade token to the attendant, he walked straight back to Yao Lei and Xia Ye.
When he first entered the sixth floor, Lu Xuan knew that he definitely couldn't be the match for six martial artists of the sixth level of Body Tempering, let alone with his yuan energy being less than thirty percent. Therefore, he didn't plan to break through the sixth floor.
So, after entering the sixth floor, Lu Xuan didn't think twice. He immediately took the initiative, increasing his speed to the maximum, rushing into the six martial artists, and unleashing all his yuan energy. His instantaneous sword technique was instantly unleashed.
At that moment, Lu Xuan integrated all his understanding of swordsmanship into his sword technique, unleashing his most powerful strength. His long sword turned into a sword shadow, instantly stabbing out countless times. Not only did he break through the combined attack of the six martial artists, but he also cleanly and decisively killed three of them.
However, this also completely drained his yuan energy, leaving him with no more fighting power. After one sword, he immediately shattered the jade token, being directly teleported out. Even so, with the strength of the fourth level of Body Tempering, being able to kill three martial artists of the sixth level in a heavily surrounded situation was enough to be proud of.
"Brother Xuan, you're too cool! No, you've always been cool, but this time you're even cooler!" Yao Lei said exaggeratedly.
"I knew it would be you." Xia Ye looked at Lu Xuan and smiled, repeating the same words.
Hearing their words, Lu Xuan smiled, "Just lucky."
"Tsk, being too humble is being fake!" Yao Lei criticized mercilessly.
On the judges' platform, Xia Chenxi and Uncle Jiu's gazes simultaneously turned to Elder Sun. Uncle Jiu calmed down his somewhat excited mood and said, "Elder Sun, are the storage ring and the Huntu Pill ready?"
"Hmph, it's too early to say. Long Tai hasn't come out yet. The outcome isn't decided. How do you know he won't also break into the sixth floor?" Elder Sun said with a dark face. The only variable now was that Long Tai hadn't come out yet, and he had pinned all his hopes on Long Tai.
But at this moment, the light from the fifth floor suddenly flickered, instantly drawing everyone's attention again. The flickering light might mean an advancement to the sixth floor or a return. Would Long Tai be able to reach the sixth floor?
Immediately after, with a snap, the light from the fifth floor suddenly went out, but the light from the sixth floor did not light up. Elder Sun's heart suddenly sank.
On the open ground in front of the Sword Tower, the light appeared, clearly indicating that Long Tai had stopped at the fifth floor!
Long Tai, coming out of the Sword Tower, saw everyone's gazes fixed on him. He was initially somewhat surprised, then turned around and saw that the light from the Sword Tower had completely gone out. Turning his head again, he saw Lu Xuan and Xia Ye in the crowd.
Seemingly realizing something, Long Tai suddenly laughed arrogantly, "Haha, I'm the first! Lu Xuan, with you, you also want to compete for first place? In your next life!"
The empty area around the Sword Tower echoed with Long Tai's arrogant laughter, which sounded very grating.
After laughing for a while, Long Tai realized something was wrong. It seemed that only he was laughing. Hmm, the gazes of those martial artists weren't admiring. They seemed to be... mocking? Or pitying?
