With another movement, Xue Ying unexpectedly disappeared from mid-air before appearing behind a Transcendent refiner organisms at the edge of the group.

The silver spear immediately stabbed through its body! The refiner organism’s body clearly could not withstand this attack.

Shua.

After pulling back his spear, Xue Ying once again disappeared and appeared at the side of another Transcendent refiner organism, stabbing them with his spear.

One on one.

Even though it was tough using the True Meaning of Extreme Piercing against a group attack, Xue Ying used Extreme Piercing on his own body, allowing him to have one-on-one battles. Naturally, he was now able to defeat these refiner organisms with one move each. After being stabbed through, the crimson-red eyes of these refiner organisms would darken and turn back into statues. This behavior was a rule set by the Xia Clan’s Elders.

The moment a refiner organism’s surface layer was penetrated, they were defeated and thus must stop battling.

Therefore-

In order to achieve victory in this Hundred-Battles Chamber, one had to survive an encirclement attack and penetrate through the body surface layer of each Transcendent refiner organism! Clearly, this was a huge test on different areas of battling.

Usually, ordinary peak stage Sky realm Transcendents would require the comprehension of a completed grade six True Meaning before they could break through the surface defense of a single refiner organism! Hence the difficulty of this test was huge.

Break, break, break…

Xue Ying’s figure appeared in mid-air time after time, preventing the refiner organisms from surrounding him. One by one, they reverted back into statues.

“Defeated.”

“Seems like we’re going to be defeated.”

“This human Transcendent is too formidable. His attacking power is too great, and he can even teleport during battle.” The Transcendent refiner organisms lost their will to fight. Finally, all of them became statues.

The Hundred-Battles Chamber!

Victory!

Xue Ying revealed a wide grin. Actually, he understood after a single exchange of moves that in order for him to win this, he would have to counter the encirclement! If his own body could display the Extreme Piercing ability… then he would easily triumph over it. As a result, he was not in a rush to do it and instead, spent most of his time attempting to refine his spear techniques and perfect them in this battle.

Fortunately, I spent another year in comprehending. Xue Ying celebrated in his heart.

Initially, when he had just completed the Mountain Road mission and grasped hold of the Embryonic Form of True Meaning of Extreme Piercing, he could only use it with his spear thrusts or finger stabs. These actions were all of the move type of ‘stab’ which was how Extreme Piercing was manifested at that time.

Moves like smashing, hacking or sweeping could not yet express the ability of Extreme Piercing. Likewise, he could not utilise the True Meaning in any other way, much less with his own body.

If he were to enter the Hundred-Battles Chamber then, he would have definitely faced defeat!

This past year gave him the chance to comprehend his techniques more deeply and perfect his own control. Everything could become a point of extremity, piercing through all things. Weapons could be a point of extremity, and his own body could as well. Likewise, even the rustling leaves could be turned into a point of extremity!

A grade two True Meaning was extremely terrifying even in its Embryonic Form.

“Haha, good, good, very beautiful” laughter suddenly resounded within the Hundred-Battles Chamber.

Xue Ying turned towards the source, only to see a black-haired old man standing and chuckling.

“Greetings, Palace Head,” Xue Ying immediately greeted Palace Head Chen, who was in front of him. Actually, the moment Xue Ying entered the chamber, the Infernal Palace treasure spirit had informed its master. Thus, Palace Head Chen had viewed the entire battle! After watching the combat scenes, he had become extremely excited.

“This grade two True Meaning is certainly formidable, with its Embryonic Form being so powerful. You can even easily penetrate through space during a fight” The black-haired old man praised. “In the future, when you fully grasp the True Meaning, you will reach a stage which even I cannot fully comprehend! Back when Eternal Wind first grasped hold of the grade three True Meaning of Void Cleavage, he was able to match the might of Demigods, and even defeated the Demigod Feng Dong. I believe that your combat power will be even more formidable than his after you’ve fully grasped hold of your True Meaning. Spend your time cultivating and comprehending the complete True Meaning as soon as possible. At that time, even if your abilities become known to the public, no one will be able to threaten you! For now though, you still need to stay low-key. Since you have successfully defeated the Hundred-Battles Chamber, 100,000 contribution points will be given to you, though this victory will temporarily be kept a secret.”

“I understand,” Xue Ying replied.

Even though he was quite powerful right now…

In front of those Demigods with their devastating power, he was still much weaker and had to depend on the two protective treasures given by the Xia Clan to survive.

During the period of time before he grasped hold of the complete True Meaning, he would be relatively weak. As such, he had to be more prudent in his actions.

“Finding and killing the hidden demons can be considered a form of training for you,” Palace Head Chen laughed. “Alright, go out and fight. Only during battle will your improvements be at their fastest! Quickly, completely comprehend the grade two True Meaning. I am extremely anxious to see that day arrive.”
