Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 708 - 396: Bloody Battle of Geniuses! The Situation Inside the Trial Tower

"This little guy is called Jiang Shu, right? It's surprising he only just arrived at our Genius Trial Tower; if he had come to Jiuyu Commerce Alliance a mere decade earlier, with his strength, he might have already become a genius in the Business Association, mastering various secret techniques."

"Two Lower Gods were defeated by him in a single move. His understanding of the Origin of Power is quite profound. The records show he first appeared in the Black Iron Desert and only befriended a noble with the Tuoba bloodline from Tuoba City. It seems he must have received some inheritance; this level of understanding of the Origin of Power indicates he could be a Tenth Rank expert if not an Eleventh Rank one."

"Of those who come from the periphery to our Jiuyu Commerce Alliance, few lack fortuitous encounters. However, no matter how great the opportunity, it can't compare to what our Jiuyu Commerce Alliance can offer. Only by becoming one of our geniuses can he gain entry to the Inner Circle's Eternal Tower. What we see now is only part of his strength; we have to see how far he can go when he pushes himself in the Trial Tower."

"If he can reach the Sixth Floor, he would be equivalent to one of our top-tier geniuses in Jiuyu Commerce Alliance."

Outside the Genius Trial Tower, several Tenth Rank experts sat at high positions, observing all that unfolded on massive space screens.

These screens showed everything within the Genius Trial Tower.

Every genius they paid attention to had a small dedicated screen where they were deliberately monitored more closely.

Evidently, Jiang Shu now received such attention as well.

"The little guys from those factions in the Black Iron Desert weren't bad; that one called Yu Heng stands a fair chance of reaching the Sixth Floor, although his understanding of the Space Origin is somewhat lacking. If he improves further, breaking into the Seventh Floor wouldn't be impossible."

"A genius from the Black Abyss Alliance, not bad for such a small place to cultivate such talent. The others are clearly inferior, even if they luckily break into the Sixth Floor, they will soon be filtered out."

"The Sixth Floor is a threshold; only by crossing it can one gain more benefits in the Eternal Tower. However, this Yu Heng is very wise; he has remained on the Third Floor, training against various Ninth Rank cultivators, honing himself. It's a pity he's already joined the Black Abyss Alliance and cannot join our Jiuyu Commerce Alliance. I hope Jiang Shu can follow Yu Heng's example and not rush into the Fourth Floor."

In the Genius Trial Tower, the first three floors are merely for nurturing geniuses, allowing them to grow through combat and continuously comprehend various cosmic Origins.

Only upon reaching the Fourth Floor, does one fully enter a uniquely distinct space.

This space allows only upward progression, not backward.

Reaching the Fourth Floor, to progress further, one must undergo pure cultivation, a vastly slower process.

Therefore, even after four years have passed,

there remains a group of capable geniuses on the Third Floor of the Genius Trial Tower, consistently engaging in combat.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The earth trembled, mountains leaned, and the flow of the rivers reversed.

Compared to the relative tranquility of the First and Second Floors, the Third Floor resembled an apocalyptic scene, with radiant light engaging in combat high in the sky, and from time to time, stronger geniuses would emerge in the space.

Ordinary Ninth Rank cultivators would not withstand even a single strike in this place.

"Everything here is reinforced by the Origin Power, making the destructive power of the Ninth Rank here far inferior to the outside."

Jiang Shu clasped a Great Seal in his hand, directly countering an attack from the void.

Here, there was no such thing as mutual concession.

There was only endless battle!

The Genius Trial Tower is limited to just ten years; everyone wants their strength to improve further in this short timeframe, to display more significant talent, and rush into higher floors!

Everyone here is a strong being of the Ninth Rank, and slaying any one of them yields visible benefits.

Jiang Shu, having abstained from exerting his power for a while, fully immersed himself in the battle.

He fought fiercely in the air, unleashing one Heavenly Rank Divine Power after another.

Five Emperors Sky Extending Seal!

Five Emperors Annihilation Seal!

Kunpeng Swallowing Technique!

Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique!

Blood stained the sky as a Ninth Rank cultivator, whose stay here was indefinite, was directly slain by Jiang Shu. Huge dragon claws covered the sky, capturing him, as his whole Blood Essence Power and Power of Soul were devoured.

"I am Zhuang Cheng of the Jiuyu Commerce Alliance. Who are you?"

From a thousand miles away, a battle had also reached its conclusion, the victor's mighty voice questioning Jiang Shu. Evidently, he discerned Jiang Shu's formidable strength through the residual waves of battle, acknowledging his formidable physique and spiritual power, with almost no weaknesses.

Not an easy opponent to defeat casually.

"Jiang Shu, I look forward to our battle later."

Recognizing the intent to fight in Zhuang Cheng's eyes, Jiang Shu did not shy away, his fighting spirit resolute.

He, too, noticed Zhuang Cheng's combat; not only does this person possess a strong understanding of the Five Elements Origin, but he has also repeatedly used space travel, understanding space potentially better than Yu Heng.

As expected from someone from Jiuyu Commerce Alliance.

But in the Genius Trial Tower, what matters is battle prowess.

A high understanding of the Space Origin Principle does not equate to invincibility in overall combat power.

"Not affiliated with any faction? I await you at Jiuyu Commerce Alliance!"

Hearing Jiang Shu did not state his faction, Zhuang Cheng lowered his gaze slightly, his battle intention retracted a bit.

The geniuses of Jiuyu Commerce Alliance primarily seek to eliminate ordinary Ninth Rank cultivators or geniuses from other factions that come in search of opportunities.
