Chapter 299 - 9 Surprising Everyone

Chapter 299 Surprising Everyone

‘This puppet seems to be in the fourth stage of the dao realm…’

Xu Ning estimated. He didn’t know if the puppet had any other tricks up its sleeves, but since he could easily deal with it, even if it had a backup plan, it might not be that powerful.

Whoosh!

The puppet that was cut off by Xu Ning turned faint before disappearing completely.

Immediately after, a set of stairs appeared on the empty floor, leading to the next floor.

Xu Ning didn’t hesitate and continued to walk to the second level.

Rumble…

After reaching the second level, it was still the same environment.

As soon as Xu Ning walked forward, the same puppet condensed in front of him.

However, this time, there were six puppets.

After the puppets condensed into physical bodies, they attacked Xu Ning again without any hesitation.

Xu Ning did not immediately kill them, instead he wanted to see their true strength.

Whoosh!

The six puppets surrounded Xu Ning while sword qi flew out of their swords. “This sword qi has the same lethality as a dao realm fourth stage astral qi…’

Even though he was surrounded by six puppets, Xu Ning was still at ease.

After fighting for a while, Xu Ning saw that these puppets did not show any other trump cards, so he slashed out two more astral qi, killing all six puppets.

Just like before, the puppets disappeared and a set of stairs appeared.

“This third level can’t be a bunch of puppets, right…’ Xu Ning thought to himself and continued to walk up the stairs.

Sure enough, puppets appeared on the third level as well.

However, the puppet this time was a silver puppet. Its body was larger than its previous counterparts, and the weapon in its hand had changed from a longsword to a spear.

There was only one silver puppet. It held a silver spear and stabbed toward Xu Ning.

Aura condensed on the tip of the spear.

‘The strength of this silver puppet is at the fifth stage of the dao realm…’

After testing it out, Xu Ning once again figured out the strength of the silver puppet.

Based on the current information, Xu Ning had figured out the pattern of changes in the strength of puppets in the Core Sea Tower.

‘The first level is a single dao realm fourth stage puppet, the second level is six dao realm fourth stage puppets, and the third level is a single fifth stage dao realm puppet. In this case, the strength of the puppets will increase by one realm every odd level, and the strength of the puppets on the even level will be the same as the puppets on the previous odd level, but there will be more of them.’

sa

Whoosh!

Another gust of astral qi.

The spear-wielding silver puppet was dealt with by Xu Ning

For Xu Ning, this was no different from the previous difficulty. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Xu Ning went to the fourth level.

Sure enough, as Xu Ning expected, six silver puppets appeared on the fourth level.

In an instant, the six silver puppets were cut apart by Xu Ning again. Thus, Xu Ning went to the fifth level… the sixth level… On the sixth level, the six dark gold puppets were dealt with.

The strength of these six dark gold puppets was at the sixth stage of the dao realm.

For ordinary dao realm sixth stage masters, fighting against six enemies of the same realm would be extremely difficult, but for Xu Ning, it was not challenging at all.

‘No wonder the black bird said that with my strength, I should be able to pass the sixth level, but this is just inferred from looking at my realm. It doesn’t have much confidence in me passing the seventh level. This is because the seventh level puppet will have the strength of a dao realm seventh stage master.’

After figuring out the pattern, Xu Ning was more confident.

He walked towards the stairs of the seventh level.

Outside the Core Sea Tower, the Black Bird and the people outside the island were all paying attention to the Core Sea Tower.

Xu Ning didn’t know that every time he climbed up a level, the level would emit a circle of light.

Thus, everyone outside knew exactly which floor Xu Ning was on.

“He passed the sixth level so quickly?” “Didn’t someone say just now that this new seed hasn’t reached the high level of the dao realm?”

The people outside discussed.

The black bird also raised its head.

‘The duration this kid stayed on the sixth level is still the same as before?’ The black bird’s face was full of surprise. So he’s an expert who can kill enemies above his realm! His foundation is deep enough! It seems that Xu Ning has a high chance of passing the seventh level, but the eighth level, it would…’

As the black bird was muttering in its heart, the light circle on the eighth level of the Core Sea Tower spread out again.

This meant that Xu Ning had passed the seventh level in an extremely short time and had reached the eighth level.

The black bird scratched its head with its wings. ‘He seems to have stayed on the seventh level slightly longer than before, but this seems to be too fast… The eighth level shouldn’t be difficult for him, but the puppets on the ninth level are comparable to the eighth stage of the dao realm. Even if he has a first-class treasure, he can’t cross two realms, right?’

“However, even if he couldn’t pass the ninth level, Xu Ning’s potential rating must be ‘high’. Before Xu Ning, there were only ten people who received the ‘high’ evaluation among the hundred and thirty-one seeds. Seeds are already one in a million, and those who can receive the ‘high’ evaluation are even rarer.”

Although the black bird seemed to be exaggerating, in fact, its evaluation of seeds was extremely strict.

The black bird continued to observe the Core Sea Tower.

On the eighth level of the Core Sea Tower.

In front of Xu Ning were six spear-wielding dark gold puppets.

However, there was an azure crystal embedded in their chests.

The azure crystals could provide these dark gold puppets with simulated origin power, allowing them to have the strength of a dao realm seventh stage master.

‘I have to spend more effort this time…’

Xu Ning took out the Flowing Cloud Piercer.

The use of first-class secret treasures was not prohibited in the Core Sea Tower.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xu Ning held the Flowing Cloud Piercer and rushed towards the dark gold puppets.

The azure crystals on their chests were Xu Ning’s target.

Although those dark gold puppets did not have self-awareness, their combat instincts allowed them to instinctively protect the azure crystal on their chests.

“Void Walk Beast Phantom, Void Distortion!”

Xu Ning used his origin technique again.

After a while, Xu Ning finally killed all six puppets in fifteen minutes.

‘The puppets on the next level are at the eighth stage of the dao realm…’

Looking at the stairs that appeared on the floor, Xu Ning finally had a serious look on his face.

The eighth stage of the dao realm, the origin connection realm, could already allow one to connect to the origin power, giving one the ease of using origin power throughout a battle.

This would be a huge challenge for Xu Ning.

After making preparations, Xu Ning went to the ninth level.

Outside.

“He’s on the ninth level!”

“How is this possible? He actually passed the eighth level guarded by several dao realm seventh stage puppets!” “This new seed’s evaluation is definitely ‘high’!”

“If he can pass the ninth level, then his evaluation should be ‘extreme’, right?”

“How is it possible to pass the ninth level? Currently, in the Core Sea Demon Sect, only two seeds have the ‘extreme’ evaluation, and those two are the most likely to become the new leader!”

“True, the ninth level is a puppet guard at the eighth stage of the dao realm. No matter how powerful this new seed is, he can’t cross two realms in a row, right?”

In the Core Sea Tower.

The ninth level.

It was still a spear-wielding dark gold puppet, but this time, there were three blue crystals embedded in the chest of the dark gold puppet.

A dark gold puppet with three blue crystals was more than three times stronger than a puppet with only one crystal.

“Ha!”

This time, Xu Ning took the lead to attack. He really felt tremendous pressure boring down on him.

This kind of pressure was similar to when he fought against Liu Yi.

The Flowing Cloud Piercer entered the void. When it appeared again, Xu Ning used the Void Distortion of the Void Beast, dealing double the damage to the dark gold puppet.

At this moment, Xu Ning’s strongest technique, Night Weaver, was useless because this battle puppet had no sensory perception.

Bang!

Sure enough, after combining the two moves, one of the azure crystals on the chest of the dark gold puppet shattered, leaving two azure crystals intact.

After succeeding once, Xu Ning attacked continuously.

The collision between the two created huge shockwaves, but when the shockwaves touched the ground and the walls, they were completely absorbed.

There were no signs of damage on the tower. ‘It’s a little difficult…’

Xu Ning felt that he was reaching his limit.

Xu Ning used this opportunity to figure out his true strength.

He could barely fight against a master who had just entered the eighth stage of the dao realm, but if the opponent was stronger than that, it would be difficult for him to win.

However, Xu Ning did not give up.

Bang!

With his rich combat experience, Xu Ning shattered another azure crystal. As a result, the puppet that was left with one azure crystal was no longer Xu Ning’s opponent. It was pierced through the chest and beheaded by Xu Ning’s Flowing Cloud Piercer.

‘This level is so difficult to pass…’ Xu Ning rested on the spot and did not immediately go upstairs.

Xu Ning knew very well that he couldn’t pass the tenth level no matter what.

This was not him underestimating himself, but the fact was right in front of him.

A puppet embedded with three azure crystals was already so difficult to defeat, let alone six.

However, Xu Ning still walked to the tenth level.

But this time, after persevering for fifteen minutes, when Xu Ning’s life was in danger, he was immediately ejected out from the Core Sea Tower by an invisible force.

“He is out!”

“He actually lasted so long on the tenth level!” “”Extreme’, this person’s evaluation must be ‘extreme’!’

Everyone who had been observing Xu Ning had different expressions.

Everyone was amazed by Xu Ning’s potential.

After all, they could occasionally see battles with one person crossing one realm, but battles with someone crossing two realms were rare. Even the other two ‘extreme’ seeds of the Core Sea Demon Sect had only crossed a floor higher than their own strength, but because their realm was higher, they were evaluated as ‘extreme’.

But this new seed had actually crossed two realms.

Everyone knew very well that another powerful seed was about to rise in the Core Sea Demon Sect.

And he was the newcomer!
