I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 241 The Eighth Level of the Great Sage Fist!

"The Trial Tower has a guardian?"

The river remained vigilant.

The "Lord Chen" opposite him exuded a Taoist aura, which put him under great pressure.

"Naturally there is."

Lord Chen did not launch an attack, but instead smiled and introduced to Jiang He: "Since its construction, the Trial Tower has had thirty-six guardians for its ninth level... and I am the thirty-sixth, and will also be the last one."

"........."

Why is there so much nonsense from a "Trial Tower Guardian"?
Taking advantage of the moment, Jiang He unleashed a five-times Great Sage Fist, the power of nearly 4 dragons transforming into a blood-red dragon that slammed towards "Lord Chen".

Snapped!
Because the eruption was so fierce, Jiang He's right arm exploded.

The Dao principles within Lord Chen's body shone brightly, transforming into a defensive divine power that easily blocked Jiang He's attack.

Hey!
Jiang He's face darkened.

Is this a slap in the face?
How can I fight when my strongest punch can't even tickle someone?
"Ding!

"Refining the Sacred Source increases strength by 125000 kg."

A system notification sounded in my mind.

The power of the Sacred Source within Jiang He's body was activated, and his shattered right arm rapidly grew back. This scene stunned the "Guardian" for a few seconds, who exclaimed in surprise, "This aura... is it the Eastern Pole True Man?"

He re-examined Jiang He and said, "No wonder you were able to come to the ninth level and meet me when you were only at the peak of the Body Refinement Vajra Realm... So you are the successor of the Eastern Pole True Man."

"wrong!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly added, "Since you are the successor of the Eastern Pole True Man, why do you follow the path of pure body refinement? Why don't you cultivate the Eastern Pole Natural Skill and the Nine Swords Technique of the Eastern Pole True Man?"

"........."

Jiang He said with a dark face, "Are we going to fight or not? If we're not going to fight, I'll just leave... Why all this nonsense!"

If I could cultivate myself, would I need you spouting nonsense here?

That's absolutely heartbreaking.

"What's the rush?"

"Lord Chen" laughed and said, "Defeating you is just a matter of lifting a finger, but I have been guarding this place for nearly a thousand years. You are the first challenger I have encountered. Let's chat for a bit more."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Rivers and streams".

Jiang He's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Are you human?"

"Lord Chen" shook his head and said, "This is just a projection of my clone that I left behind after I passed the test back then. If you can defeat me three realms above, then you can take my place and become the guardian of the ninth test from now on."

"Three realms above?"

Jiang He asked, "How is this realm calculated?"

"Lord Chen" said, "This projection of my clone is at the early stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm. It can only defeat me when you are at the middle stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. The Trial Tower will then evaluate you based on your cultivation techniques and combat strength, leaving behind a projection. From now on, you will be the guardian of this ninth level... and you will be at the early stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm!"

"Ah this..."

Jiang He said, "If I become the guardian, wouldn't this Trial Tower be rendered useless?"

Lord Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

Jiang He: "To pass the ninth level, you need to defeat me across three realms... Who in the world has that ability?"

Lord Chen was taken aback at first.

Then he threw a punch.

Jiang He had not learned any defensive techniques, so he simply raised his hand and threw a punch, using brute force to break brute force.

boom!
The force of their punches spread out across the empty space of the ninth floor of the Trial Tower. "Lord Chen" flashed and appeared behind Jiang He as a blur. A wisp of sword energy shot out from his fingertip, piercing Jiang He's heart. He smiled faintly and said, "You're not very old, but you have quite the big mouth... Get past my Chen Wangting first."

Jiang He turned his head and looked at "Lord Chen," a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Oh shit!

At the early stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm, not only is he strong, but his speed is also so fast?

How is this played?
You only stabbed me with your finger, why do you look like it's "over"?

"Ding!"

"Refining the Sacred Source increases strength by 125000 kg."

As the system notification sounded in his mind, Jiang He's pierced heart instantly recovered. He threw a punch at "Lord Chen," whose expression changed drastically. He raised his hand to block, but was sent flying.

brush!
Jiang He flashed forward, following closely like a shadow, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks on "Lord Chen."

His white robes were ripped to shreds, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked disheveled. After regaining his balance, he exclaimed in surprise, "You can survive with your heart pierced through... Could it be that you have cultivated the realm of flesh and blood regeneration?"

He reached out and grabbed at the air, and a lightsaber appeared in his hand.

With a swing of the lightsaber, the river was sent flying.

Jiang He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the Trial Tower. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn... I almost succeeded!"

His combo attack had already injured "Lord Chen".

If I were to use even more force, I could smash him to pieces!

As for the supernatural abilities and techniques of the Fish-Dragon Realm experts, as well as the principles and rhythms of the Dao, Jiang He doesn't care about these things. All he wants is to dominate everything with sheer power!
However, he failed to pass the level several times.

This made Jiang He give up his stubborn idea. He planned to go back to his dormitory to rest first, and after he improved his strength, he would find someone in the Fish-Dragon Realm to spar with... When he was strong enough, he would go directly to the ninth floor of the Trial Tower and smash that so-called "Lord Chen" with one punch!
Outside the Trial Tower.

All the spectators looked at Jiang He.

Jiang He was already in a bad mood after being beaten, so he glared at her and shouted angrily, "What are you looking at?"

Everyone quickly averted their gaze. One of the Celestial Realm warriors pretended to look at the rankings of the Trial Tower, but suddenly his pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "Look! The rankings of the Trial Tower have changed... Jiang He is number one! Jiang He is number one!"

"what?"

"It really is true... Wasn't it said that Jiang He forced his way into the Trial Tower to avoid being listed in the rankings? How come his name suddenly appeared?"

Jiang He's heart stirred slightly, and he also looked up at that ray of light.

1. Rivers (9)

His name was listed first, overshadowing Chen Jingzhou and Xiahou Wu. He immediately grinned, then said seriously, "Ah...this...it must be the guardian of the ninth level of the Trial Tower. No wonder he asked for my name. Uncle Chen and Senior Xiahou have treated me well, but now I have overshadowed them. What should I do...Pfft!"

Xu Rulai: "Jianghe Benefactor, what are you laughing at?"

Jiang He: "I just remembered something happy, is it any of your business?"

"Look!" "Another newcomer has broken into the top 100!"

Suddenly, someone shouted again.

Jiang He turned his head and saw that on the Trial Tower leaderboard, the name that was originally ranked last had been pushed out, and a new name slowly appeared.

100. Zhang San (3)

This name stayed at number 100 for only three minutes before jumping directly to number 82.

82. Zhang San (3)

The number after Zhang San's name is still "3", which means that Zhang San has not passed the third level. However, the name has increased, indicating that he is making better progress on the third level.

Next was Wang Mazi's name.

He also broke into the top 100, ranking 84th.

Subsequently, Wei Jian's name also appeared on the list, ranking 94th.

"This……"

"It's those idiots from 207... those geniuses, right?"

Some people recognized the names, and the crowd began to whisper among themselves, saying things like "crazy" and "how can these idiots be so strong."

Jiang He paid no attention to these comments.

after all……

Apart from myself, the people in dormitory 207 were not mentally stable to begin with.

If someone says a few words, are you going to kill them?

"There's also Li Si in dormitory 207, Feng Shaoyu... and that guy who's always making 'whoosh whoosh whoosh' sounds, what's his name again? Chen Yu?"

"Yes, let's call him Chen Yu. They won't make it onto the leaderboard, will they?"

Don't mention anyone else.

Even Jiang He was somewhat looking forward to it.

He stood outside the Trial Tower for a while, but did not see the names of Li Si, Chen Yu, and Feng Shaoyu. Instead, Feng Shaoyu was the first to walk out of the Trial Tower. Jiang He went up to him and asked, "Doctor Feng, how is the situation?"

Feng Shaoyu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I haven't been awakened for long enough, so I'm not very proficient in using my abilities yet, and I don't have any practical combat skills. I didn't pass the second level."

"Dr. Feng, you didn't pass the second test either, did you?"

Chen Yu followed behind Feng Shaoyu and said happily, "What a coincidence, I didn't make it either."

Snapped!Snapped!
Li Si appeared behind the two and slapped Feng Shaoyu and Chen Yu on the back of the head twice. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "You two good-for-nothings! You can't even get past the second level, and you still have the nerve to laugh? You're a disgrace to our dormitory 207!"

Feng Shaoyu and Chen Yu were beaten, but they didn't dare to complain. They could only ask, "Which level have you passed?"

Li Si chuckled and said, "I didn't even get past the second level."

"........."

Seeing that Feng Shaoyu and Chen Yu looked like they wanted to eat people, Li Si said seriously, "You can't compare to me. I am the Deadly Poison Master. My strongest skill is not direct combat, but poison... Even if you are in the Celestial Realm, you will have to submit to my poison. However, the monsters in the Trial Tower are all illusions and are not affected by the poison."

Zhang San, Wang Mazi, and Wei Jian emerged from the Trial Tower one after another.

The group from dormitory 207 chatted and laughed, then walked away arm in arm.

"Let's go!"

Wei Jian said, "I'll treat everyone to some drinks... My parents came to Tianmen Pass this time to open a restaurant. The location has been decided and a lot of wine has been delivered."

We arrived at the restaurant owned by Wei Jian's father.

Jiang He met the legendary "Wei Erhe".

of course.

This wasn't the first time he had met Wei Erhe.

During the last beast tide in Wucheng, Jiang He caught a glimpse of Wei Erhe from afar. This man was a martial arts master from Wucheng, with exceptional swordsmanship.

Wei Erhe had naturally heard of Jiang He's great reputation, so he personally came out to entertain him, bringing out the best wine in the shop, as well as peanuts and cucumber salad made by his wife.

"Everyone, please make do with this for now."

"Our chef is getting his travel permit and should be able to get to Tianmen Pass by tomorrow... My restaurant will officially open in three days, and we will need everyone's continued support in the future."

Eat and drink enough.

Jiang He gave Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Mazi, Chen Yu, Wei Jian, and Feng Shaoyu three drops of "Heavenly Wind Water Pearls" each, instructing them to be careful when refining them.

A single drop of Heavenly Wind Water can enhance the strength of a 100,000-jin (approximately 50,000 kg) physical body.

For them, it was an extraordinary treasure.

of course.

Jianghe didn't give any more.

For the Heavenly Wind Water Pearl, most martial artists can only refine three drops before reaching their limit; any more and the effect will be significantly reduced.

Besides, they aren't body-refining martial artists, so three drops are enough to improve them.

After leaving the restaurant, Jiang He headed straight for Chen Jingzhou's courtyard.

"Uncle Chen... I'm so sorry."

"Hey……"

"I originally intended to conceal my ranking, but the town garrison commander exposed it, stealing your thunder. Please don't mind."

Then, he visited Xiahou Wu.

"Senior Xiahou, I'm really sorry."

"Hey……"

"I originally intended to conceal my ranking, but the town garrison commander exposed it, stealing your thunder. Please don't mind."

Xiahou Wu: "..."

Hey!
This kid is starting to look more and more like Liu Feng.
Why would you brag about something like this?

of course.

As a senior, one should have the demeanor of a senior. Xiahou Wu smiled and said, "Not bad, not bad... The student has surpassed the teacher, and my teachings have not been in vain. However, it was right of you to recommend me to the Trial Tower. I also obtained some prototypes of the [Law of Power]. Based on these prototypes of the [Law of Power], I perfected the Great Sage Fist and finally created the eighth level of the Great Sage Fist!"
