556 Indeed Deliberate (1/2)

”It's that Liu Hong again. He's the first one to enter the third level!”

”This Liu Hong is so strong. To actually overpower the Three Sects' head disciples twice and be the first one to charge into the next level!”

”Just what is this Liu Hong's background? To actually be so powerful?”

”Allegedly, he came from a small sect. But the sect he was from was destroyed later on. He should have obtained some fortuitous encounter afterward. That's how he can have his current strength.”

Fame can be a double-edged sword. The originally unrecorded and nameless Liu Hong shot to fame in just one move this time. His history was naturally dug out very quickly too.

The Three Sects choosing these itinerant martial artists naturally would not select them casually. They would definitely impose stringent screening on these martial artists, including their past.

No matter what, overpowering the Three Sects' head disciples twice in a row was plenty for him to become the subject of everyone's talk.

One time could be said to be a coincidence. If it was twice, then it probably was not what a coincidence or luck could explain.

In comparison, Ye Yuan who was the hottest topic in the beginning was no longer popular at this time.

Nobody would pay attention to a failure. Ye Yuan entering the second level with a buzzer beater was already not viewed optimistically by many people.

This Vast Heaven Pagoda had always been about fighting for number one. It had yet to be heard of who wanted to fight for the last place.

Originally, everyone was all anticipating Ye Yuan creating a miracle. But now, they focused their gazes on Liu Hong.

Actually, the Vast Heaven Pagoda's first three levels did not have much worth to see.

There was not the slightest bit of suspense about prodigious talents like Qin Yan, Guo Taoqun, and Yin Yanhua passing through the first three levels.

If one had to say what was worth watching, it was only who would be the first one to charge into the next level.

Originally, everyone was the most optimistic about Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan actually stayed in the first level alone for three whole days!

Later on, everyone focused their eyes on the Three Sects' head disciples and did not expect a huge dark horse to actually charge out, overpowering the Three Sects' disciples.

The Vast Heaven Pagoda's trial this time could be said to among the most exciting and exhilarating times. It was opened for others outside the Three Sects.

To the Three Sects, they obviously did not wish for their own disciples to lose in their own territory.

But to the itinerant cultivators and the other sects, they did not say it verbally. They earnestly wished for somebody to step forward and wreck the Three Sects.

This mentality of sour grapes, many people had it.

Hence, when everyone saw that Liu Hong was the first one to charge into the third level, each and every one of them was like being injected with stimulants, praising him to the skies.

. . . . . .

Ye Yuan was currently following a routine: killing monsters and training, continuously absorbing and converting the nameless essence energy.

After a day, a horrifying essence energy storm howled within the beast horde.

The essence energy storm was extremely turbulent, strangling the nearby demonic beasts to death in succession.

After a day of slaughter, the nameless essence energy in Ye Yuan's essence energy sea already accumulated to the size of two bowls.

The nameless energy contained within the Aurora Electric Lions' bodies were clearly much more than the first level's demonic beasts. Ye Yuan only used a day's time and accumulated to around the first level's nameless essence energy.

After a period of time, Ye Yuan broke through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation smoothly. His essence energy sea surged once again, reaching a circumference of 150 feet!

”This nameless essence energy is indeed incredible! With my current essence energy potency, winning, even killing Second Level Soul Seas, shouldn't be any problem! But there is an extremely wide gap between each Soul Sea Realm's small boundary. Although I broke through to the Fourth Level Sea Transformation now and I might have the power to contend with Third Level Soul Seas, to match up against Fourth Level Soul Seas, it's absolutely impossible to win.” Ye Yuan estimated his current strength.
