Looking at Xiang Shaoyun heading toward the sixth room, the overseer asked anxiously, ”Palace master, will...this be fine?”
”Nothing bad will happen. Since he has the courage to try it, it can only mean that he has yet to reach his limits. I am quite looking forward to the surprise he is about to give me,” Yang Gaochuan said. After a slight pause, he muttered, ”Right, there is an elder guarding the sixth room too. I need to remind him to take it easy and don't mess the kid up too badly.”
”It's too late for that. The kid has already gone inside,” the overseer said.
”s.h.i.+t! When one gets old like me, one will be slower to react. Oh well, let's go see what happens,” Yang Gaochuan said, slapping his forehead.
As for the overseer, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and muttered, ”Good luck, kid.”
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun was already within the sixth limit room. This room had a very serene ambiance. There was even an old man seated on a praying mat. At present, the old man had yet to do anything to him.
”Greetings, senior,” Xiang Shaoyun bowed and greeted the old man. Although he couldn't sense the old man's strength, he was sure the old man was certainly seated here in meditative cultivation all year long. That much was obvious from the layer of dust on him.
The old man's eyes remained shut, yet an ancient voice rang out, ”Only first-stage Astral Realm. Too weak. Leave.”
Xiang Shaoyun blanked out. He had never imagined that the old man would tell him to leave.
”Senior, I am here to challenge the limit,” Xiang Shaoyun clarified.
”I repeat, leave,” said the old man with a tone that allowed no argument.
”Umm...can you let me stay here for half an hour instead? Just half an hour will do!” Xiang Shaoyun negotiated. He only needed half an hour to complete the challenge. If he could just wait here, that would be much better.
”Leave!” The old man's voice turned aggressive.
”Come on, senior. Please don't be so heartless. Alright, I'll buy you a pot of wine or two,” Xiang Shaoyun flattered.
”Scram!”
Xiang Shaoyun was not done with his flattering when the old man suddenly bellowed. The voice reverberated throughout the room, causing Xiang Shaoyun's ears to pulse. His blood went berserk.
Heaven Conquering Overlord Manual!
Xiang Shaoyun quickly circulated his cultivation manual and forced his blood to calm. When he looked at the old man again, with a pale face, he said, ”Senior, you don't have to be so fierce even if you're chasing me away, right?”
”Scram! Scram!”
The old man repeated the word two times with more force. The sound waves roiled out like a storm, sending Xiang Shaoyun cras.h.i.+ng into the wall. From the crash, he coughed up a mouthful of blood. It would seem he had sustained quite a heavy injury. The old man had injured him just with sound waves alone. What kind of strength was that?
”He is at least a late-stage Transformation Realm expert, or even stronger!” Xiang Shaoyun lay weakly on the ground and muttered to himself. At present, he could only feel that his flow of blood was in complete disorder. Even his organs had suffered differing extents of damage.
Xiang Shaoyun stood up and circulated his cultivation manual to stabilize his injuries. He grumbled, ”What a bully!”
