If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Chapter 248 Battle with the Gatekeeper
Both sides knew very well that this was the best time for them to kill the other side.

If you miss this opportunity, you never know when the next one will come, or maybe you will never have another chance again.

Shen Bai did not answer Wei Feng. A ten-foot-tall golden body of Dharma appeared behind him and punched Wei Feng again.

Wei Feng is not a weakling either. In the peak realm, he is almost invincible.

Since he reached this realm, he has never lost to any master of the same realm.

He used various wild Taoist techniques one after another. The dazzling Taoist techniques fell into the long sword, and under Wei Feng's urging, it burst out with brilliant light.

Shen Bai was slightly surprised that his sword energy and fist prints were broken by Wei Feng.

This was the first time Shen Bai encountered an opponent of equal strength, a truly evenly matched opponent.

The Yin and Yang energies had been used on Yuan Ya once before. Now the amount accumulated was not large enough or strong enough, so using them would have no effect.

Wei Feng in front of him is stronger than Yuan Ya. It will probably take Shen Bai some time to defeat him.

After Wei Feng had fought with Shen Bai hundreds of times, the shock in his heart continued to increase with each fight.

"No wonder the Ye Dao Men tried their best to take his life, and no wonder the Luan Organization wanted to kill him. He really has the qualifications to do so."

Wei Feng thought in astonishment.

Even for a member of a higher-level organization, it would be extremely difficult to find an opponent in the peak realm.

His strength was enough to sweep across the entire Juefeng realm, but when facing Shen Bai, he could only fight on equal terms.

The speed of the fight between the two was gradually increasing, but neither could do anything to the other in a short time.

At this moment, the white-haired old man suddenly spoke.

"There are ten spots left."

It turned out that when the two were fighting, the other students were also not free. They did not stand still and attack each other like Shen Bai and Wei Feng, but attacked those who were ranked higher.

At this moment, eighty students have successfully entered the second level.

And now there are only ten spots left.

If they can't get in, the answer is self-evident. Shen Bai and Wei Feng will lose the opportunity to enter Tianhe Tower.

Wei Feng looked at the many students who were caught in a difficult battle, and his heart moved slightly. Then he said loudly: "Shen Bai, let's put aside our grudges for now. If we let go of this opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste?"

If the two of them continued to fight like this, they would definitely miss the opportunity. If they missed the opportunity, even if they killed the other party, it would be a huge loss for themselves.

Shen Bai heard this and nodded, "Okay."

The two men let go of their swords, but then launched another fierce attack, and they took a few steps back after the collision.

Wei Feng sneered in his heart, with a hint of contempt on his lips: "I knew you would do it."

Shen Bai chuckled and said, "Aren't you the same?"

Just when they were withdrawing their attack, the two of them tacitly understood each other and attacked each other again.

Fortunately, both of them had the same idea, and this time the attack was fought at a evenly matched pace.

Wei Feng did not launch another attack, but turned around and swung his sword at the students in front.

When the wild way and swordsmanship are combined, the power produced is naturally incomparable.

The terrifying sword energy crossed the sky and instantly killed several students.

He was originally an invincible person in the peak realm, but he could only fight on equal terms with Shen Bai. Killing these students who were lagging behind was as easy as drinking water for him.

Shen Bai did not hesitate, he did not want to miss the opportunity in Tianhe Tower.

Han Yue was swung by him repeatedly, and blood-red sword energy was sprayed out freely, shooting towards the surroundings in a fan shape.

Anyone who came close to the blood-red sword energy would be pierced through by the sword energy on the spot, and their soul and body would be destroyed.

The powerful strength of the two made the students present tremble in their hearts, and they subconsciously made way for them.

There are still ten places. Even if two are given up, there will be eight left.

These two people are simply like evil spirits. If you compete with them for a spot, all that awaits you is failure and death.

Although Tianhe Tower is a forbidden area, the non-human beings in this forbidden area are more like living people, and they all seem to have independent thinking.

I will be afraid and I will be terrified.

Seeing these people make way, Shen Bai didn't say anything more and strode up the stairs.

Wei Feng did not sheath his sword. After seeing Shen Bai walk up the stairs, he followed him up to the second floor.

When the two figures disappeared at the end of the stairs, these students who exuded a cold aura broke out into fighting again.

……

The second floor is the same size as the first floor, but after the number of students was reduced by ten, only ninety students entered the second floor.

There are only ninety tables on the open space on the second floor.

The white-haired old man walked up from the second floor leisurely, then glanced at everyone, walked to the table in the front and sat down.

"Please take your seats in the order in which you entered the second floor. The second lecture has begun. Remember not to fight during the lecture, or you will be kicked out of Tianhe Building."

The white-haired old man stroked his long beard and spoke slowly.

Shen Bai and Wei Feng looked at each other, and then they sat in adjacent seats according to the order.

Afterwards, the white-haired old man stopped talking and continued his lecture.

It was those inexplicable syllables again. Shen Bai couldn't understand them, but the other students were fascinated by them, as if they could get an opportunity to greatly increase their strength from them.

This lecture took another hour.

Just like before, after the lecture, cold murderous intent once again emerged from many students.

Shen Bai watched all this and already had a guess in his mind.

"The number of places entering the third floor is decreasing again. This Tianhe Tower has a total of nine floors. If the number continues to decrease at this rate, there won't be many left to reach the top floor."

While Shen Bai was thinking about this, the white-haired old man finally spoke again.

"Currently, there are ninety people remaining. Only eighty will be allowed to enter the third level. It all depends on your luck."

After the white-haired old man said this, the situation he encountered on the first floor reappeared.

This made the battle more complicated.

Due to the decrease in the number of people and the decreasing number of places, the students present seemed to have brought out their best skills, and the moves they used were more powerful.

Shen Bai could even feel a sense of pressure from these people.

Not only Shen Bai felt it, Wei Feng felt it too.

He and Shen Bai looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly, and rushed towards the surrounding students.

Since there are quotas for entry, we will reduce them to a small enough number. If the two of them take action now, they will lose the opportunity.

Only when they get the opportunity will they have their final battle.

Although they felt the pressure from those students, the number of places allowed to enter was only ten, so under the attack of Shen Bai and Wei Feng, many students quickly gave way silently.

After they made way, the two looked at each other and stepped onto the third floor.

After Shen Bai stepped into the third floor, similar to the second floor, he did not say anything more. He found his serial number on his own and sat down at the table.

Wei Feng's face was a little gloomy. He felt something was wrong. Sitting in his seat, he would glance at Shen Bai's position from time to time.

"This person's recovery ability is extremely strong. When I entered the third floor just now, I suffered some damage, but his damage was restored in the blink of an eye."

"If we talk about recovery ability, I'm not as good as him. If a decisive battle were to occur, I would be inferior to him in terms of recovery ability."

Wei Feng is smart enough to defect from the Yedao Sect. While he was fighting for the quota, he was also observing Shen Bai's movements.

He thought it would be a battle of equal strength, but the more Shen Bai attacked, the more uneasy he felt.

"No, I have to find a way to get rid of Shen Bai." Wei Feng thought secretly in his heart.

He directed the rays around him and suddenly realized that if he wanted to really get rid of Shen Bai, he might have to rely on this mysterious Tianhe Tower.

"The mechanism in Tianhe Tower is definitely not this simple. There are more complex things going on. I need to seize every opportunity."

Wei Feng made up his mind.

Afterwards, the rest of the students also went up to the third floor one after another. Now there were only eighty students left. After these eighty students sat down again, the white-haired old man also walked up from the second floor.

Following the previous rules, the white-haired old man sat in his seat and began to lecture.

Shen Bai and Wei Feng still couldn't understand the syllables that were spoken.

Shen Bai observed his surroundings and found that the strength of the students who brought him pressure had increased again. He already had an idea in his mind.

"Every lecture will improve their strength. No wonder so many people come to Tianhe Building to listen to the lectures."

"If we continue at this pace, after reaching the ninth floor, these people's strength will become extremely terrifying."

"The key is what they are talking about. I don't understand it either."

This lecture lasted longer than the previous one, a full two hours.

When the white-haired old man stopped, the students were completely different from before.

The murderous aura on them still existed, as cold as ice, but this icy murderous aura was not directed at the people around them, but was all turned towards the white-haired old man.

When this scene appeared, Shen Bai felt that something was going to happen.

The people in front of him exactly correspond to this white-haired old man, and they seem to regard the white-haired old man as their opponent.

He wondered, could it be that the way to enter the fourth floor was to fight with the white-haired old man?

Sure enough, when Shen Bai was thinking this, the white-haired old man glanced at everyone and finally spoke again.

As the white-haired old man slowly spoke, a voice full of majesty was transmitted to all parts of the third floor.

"Everyone, after three floors of instruction, you are now qualified to enter the fourth floor, but this qualification is not so easy to obtain."

"Tianhe Tower is divided into nine floors, with every three floors forming a major hurdle. The first hurdle before you is defeating me."

"Whether you work together or fight one-on-one, as long as you can defeat me, you can enter the fourth floor and obtain the goodies you want."

After he finished speaking, a wooden box appeared in front of the white-haired old man.

There is a spatial power fluctuating above the box.

Shen Bai possesses the Yin-Yang technique and can clearly feel that there is a huge space inside the box, which should contain the so-called opportunity.

"Depending on the effort you put in to defeat me, what you gain will be good or bad, and how much you gain?"

"Everyone, do your best to defeat me."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the students present stood up, and the murderous aura on their bodies had condensed to a peak level visible to the naked eye.

The white-haired old man was locked in by so much terrifying murderous aura, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was not worried at all, and even revealed a contemptuous smile.

He also stood up, his robes began to flutter, his body suddenly expanded, his solid muscles burst through his white clothes, and his body suddenly became two meters tall.

Although he has a white-haired old man's head, his body is so strong that even a strong man would be ashamed of himself.

Every muscle is covered with dense Qi, demonstrating extraordinary strength.

"Come and fight."

The white-haired old man roared angrily, turned into a shadow, and rushed towards the nearest student.

The student was wearing official uniform and holding a brush. He was a scholar. Upon seeing this, he immediately picked up the brush and pointed it at the white-haired old man.

But then, the white-haired old man raised his fist, which was as strong as an ox, and pierced through the brush and the student directly.

A body fell coldly to the ground, twitching twice before becoming motionless.

The other students also took action, and all kinds of attacks came towards the white-haired old man.

The attack landed on the white-haired old man, leaving marks. The white-haired old man raised his fists, made a spinning top shape, and spun rapidly.

The terrifying gust of wind swept through several students, instantly separating their flesh and bones.

"So strong!"

Shen Bai stood at the edge, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"This person's physical strength is truly exquisite, but his speed is quite impressive. Compared to Zhang Sheng, whom I met before, he is many times more terrifying."

He held Han Yue down, feeling a little moved, but his gaze turned to Wei Feng beside him.

When Wei Feng felt Shen Bai's gaze, a sneer appeared on his lips and he drew his sword.

The two of them rushed towards the white-haired old man at the same time.

This person cannot be defeated by one person alone. In this case, you should first obtain the qualification of the fourth level and then make any plans.

The white-haired old man had already killed several students, but some powerful students also left scars on his body.

He didn't seem to mind at all and laughed out loud.

At this moment, two long swords stabbed straight at his back.

The white-haired old man who was laughing loudly was startled, and then he turned around suddenly, and saw Shen Bai and Wei Feng with cold eyes, which made his heart suddenly tremble.

"Well done!"

The white-haired old man shouted loudly, crossed his palms, resisted Han Yue and the sword, and retreated dozens of feet, leaving a long trail on the ground.

"Today I will let you witness my Flesh Body Treasure Aquarius Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two tumors suddenly appeared on the shoulders of the white-haired old man. Then the tumors broke through the blockade of the shoulders and turned into two arms, each holding a flesh hammer, and hammered towards Shen Bai and Wei Feng.

This scene seemed very magical. Shen Bai did not expect that someone could actually extend two giant hands from his shoulders.

Moreover, each of these two giant hands holds a flesh and blood hammer.

At this moment, he and Wei Feng each held the white-haired old man's fist. When the flesh and blood hammer in the giant hand fell, both of them had different ways of dealing with it.

Wei Feng's eyes narrowed, and he shouted loudly. As his sleeves fluttered, pieces of talisman paper appeared in the air and burned without wind.

The burning talisman paper emitted bursts of black gas, which swirled and formed an extremely huge black sail.

The black sail blocked the flesh hammer and tore it apart in an instant. Wei Feng also seized the opportunity at this moment and stepped back dozens of feet. Shen Bai was even simpler.

He raised his left fist, and the Buddha image behind him, with a cold Buddha light, collided fiercely with the flesh and blood hammer.

The Dharma image shook and a crack appeared, but Shen Bai used the huge power of the flesh and blood hammer to avoid the attack range of the white-haired old man.

"Two outstanding people have emerged from this Tianhe Building lecture. That's not bad. I will accept you both first."

The white-haired old man wanted to continue attacking Shen Bai and Wei Feng, but at this moment, attacks from the other people in the school also came down one after another.

Everyone attacked with all their strength. It was obvious that the white-haired old man's easy killing of the students just now had put them in a life-and-death crisis.

The terrifying attacks came one after another, stopping the white-haired old man in his tracks.

The white-haired old man swung the flesh-and-blood hammer in his hand so tightly that no air could penetrate it. All attacks that landed on the flesh-and-blood hammer were completely destroyed.

Among this group of students, there were several very powerful ones who hid in the dark and suddenly took action.

One of them was holding a large ring knife, and the blade of the knife fell on the back of the white-haired old man, actually leaving a deep wound on his back.

The other man was wearing a pair of boxing gloves, holding the flesh hammer with both hands and locking one of the white-haired old man's arms.

There were two more people, one summoned the wind and the other summoned thunder. The wind and thunder collided, forming a storm tornado that enveloped the white-haired old man, causing his body to gradually turn black.

These four are the best among the students.

At this moment, under various attacks, the white-haired old man roared to the sky.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts so much, I want you all to die!"

The flesh hammer suddenly cracked into two pieces from the top, and then spewed out a large amount of black water.

The four people who were originally trying to counterbalance it quickly retreated to a safe area under the attack of the black water.

Shen Bai and Wei Feng looked at each other.

At this time, the two did not continue to fight, but instead seized the opportunity and launched an attack.

Wei Feng took out a piece of talisman paper and wiped it over the sword in his hand. The light on the sword became sharper.

He took a step forward, thrusting his sword straight out. A sword energy so sharp that it was unmatched, like a cold light that cut through the sky, pierced into the shoulder of the white-haired old man.

The sword was originally aimed at the white-haired old man's heart, but at the critical moment, the white-haired old man moved his shoulders and avoided the vital point.

At this moment, the white-haired old man who was feeling happy suddenly felt a chill on his neck, which gave him goose bumps.

When he turned his head, he saw Shen Bai in black clothes and holding a long sword. He cut through his black water and pointed the long sword at his neck.

This sword was covered with blood-red sword energy and the light of Shen Bai's many magical powers, which made people feel frightened.

"A wall of flesh and blood!"

The white-haired old man shouted.

The muscles on his chest peeled off from his limbs, squirmed for a while, and actually condensed into a terrifying wall of flesh and blood.

After Shen Bai's sword pierced into the flesh and blood wall, he felt a sense of sluggishness, as if he was stabbing into a ball of mud.

The blood-red sword energy burst out, destroying layer upon layer of flesh and blood, but more flesh and blood seemed to be able to regenerate, replenishing all the places that were blasted open by Shen Bai.

Tentacles stretched out from the wall of flesh and blood, surrounding Shen Bai from all directions, trying to merge him into it.

Shen Bai misstepped and used his teleportation ability to travel a thousand miles, and had already retreated ten feet away.

The blood-red sword energy on the cold moon was slightly dim, but the excitement in Shen Bai's eyes was growing.

"Strong, really strong. The stronger it is, the happier I am."

The corners of Shen Bai's mouth couldn't help but rise.

The feeling that the white-haired old man in front of him gave him was a desire to fight that really excited him.

"Come, I will fight you physically."

Shen Bai took a step forward and raised his fists.

Under Shen Bai's control, the golden body of Buddha behind him danced with his fists, leaving afterimages and hitting the wall of flesh and blood with punch after punch.

The wall of flesh and blood shook violently, as if it was about to turn into a pool of dirty water under Shen Bai's fist.

The rest of the students also moved, especially the four strongest ones, who were cooperating with Wei Feng's sword energy and leaving scars on the parts of the flesh and blood wall that could not resist.

Shen Bai was under the greatest pressure, but when he used all his strength, the white-haired old man could only barely block him with his wall of flesh and blood.

Other attacks cannot be defended.

Under this attack, the white-haired old man's body was gradually suffering from the injuries.

Time was slowly passing. After this high-explosive battle lasted for nearly two incense sticks, the white-haired old man's flesh and blood wall became as thin as a layer of paper.

The flesh and muscles behind him had disappeared, leaving only a piece of bone on his back.

Being able to survive for so long in the hands of so many powerful people and even kill so many students, the white-haired old man's strength is unparalleled.

But he was facing Shen Bai, Wei Feng and the four strongest students.

Shen Bai put away his fists, drew out the Hanyue sword from his waist, and ran his fingers across the sword.

Blood-red sword energy appeared above the cold moon.

A sword thrust out, and the blood-red sword energy burst out with terrifying power, completely piercing through the wall of flesh and blood.

Shen Bai held the long sword and came to the white-haired old man as Han Yue stabbed forward.

He grabbed the white-haired old man's head with one hand and held Hanyue with the other hand and slammed into him hard.

Han Yue pierced the white-haired old man's neck, and Shen Bai pushed Han Yue aside.

A line of blood appeared on the white-haired old man's neck, and then the head was taken off by Shen Bai's sword.

Blood splattered, the headless body lost its temperature, fell to the ground, twitched for a moment, and then stopped moving.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Bai, and they were all frightened.

At this moment, Shen Bai was dressed in black, holding Han Yue in his right hand and the head of the white-haired old man in his left hand.

As the breeze blew, those eyes, without any emotion, suddenly made people feel fear.

Wei Feng subconsciously tightened the sword in his hand, then took a few steps back.

It is not appropriate to fight now. There were heavy casualties in the previous battle, and Shen Bai has strong recovery ability.

In Wei Feng's opinion, even his expression did not change.

Shen Bai glanced at the head in his hand, threw it casually on the ground, looked at the wooden box in front of him, and walked over slowly.

As the white-haired old man said just now, the treasures in this wooden box are based on the performance in this battle.

He really wanted to know what the opportunity in Tianhe Tower was.

It's only the third floor, but there's a strong man like the white-haired old man in charge. If Shen Bai had fought alone just now, it would have been very difficult for him to win.

He was also very curious about what kind of intense and interesting battles would take place on the next six floors.

No one tried to stop Shen Bai, including the students in the forbidden area. They all silently took a step back and even made way for Shen Bai.

The sight of Shen Bai holding the head just now had already made them feel frightened.

Shen Bai walked to the wooden box that exuded the breath of space and opened it casually.

There was a blurry space inside the box and it was impossible to tell what was inside.

But with Shen Bai's level of Yin-Yang absorption technique, he also has profound attainments in the art of space.

After taking a quick look, he already understood the principle.

Then, Shen Bai reached his hand into the space inside the wooden box.

When Shen Bai made this move, the space in the wooden box fluctuated.

Along with this fluctuation, in just a few breaths, three strange objects emitting a cold aura appeared in front of Shen Bai.

"Three strange things, not bad."

A hint of joy appeared in Shen Bai's heart.

Strange objects are extremely precious, and some people in the martial arts world may never come into contact with one in their entire life.

Now Shen Bai has obtained three strange objects after only passing through the three floors of Tianhe Tower. Naturally, he is happy.

This wooden box has special spatial limitations, and Shen Bai cannot break it open, so he can only follow the rules.

He casually drew a line with his hand, and a crack appeared. The three strange objects were thrown into the Yin-Yang Object Collection Technique by Shen Bai.

After doing all this, Shen Bai looked at the body of the white-haired old man.

At this moment, the white-haired old man had turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared.

His gaze turned to Wei Feng not far away, and he placed his hand on Han Yue's waist.

"Now seems like a good opportunity."

Thinking of this, Shen Bai slowly pulled out Hanyue.

Now, everyone in front of him was shocked, and there was no need for anyone to fight for any spots, so it was time to kill Wei Feng.

When Wei Feng saw Shen Bai pull out Hanyue, he turned around and ran towards the stairs without saying a word.

He can't fight now. The previous battle caused him serious damage.

He had almost consumed half of his Qi, and now only a part of it had been recovered.

Shen Bai also consumed a lot of energy, but now he has fully recovered.

He was confident that he could fight Shen Bai on equal terms, but Shen Bai's terrifying recovery ability meant that Wei Feng was at a disadvantage at the moment.

Although he claims to be invincible at the peak level, he is often limited by circumstances.

In this situation, it is impossible to fight Shen Bai.

When Wei Feng escaped, he even put a talisman on each leg. In just a few turns, he had already reached the fourth floor along the stairs.

Shen Bai drew his sword and looked at Wei Feng's disappearing back, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"It's okay to run away. You're going to die anyway, so it's good to let you experience a little more despair."

He didn't say anything else, put Hanyue away again, and walked towards the stairs.

No one stopped him, and the students all focused their attention on Shen Bai.

Some people were curious, some were afraid, and the four powerful students who took action first looked at Shen Bai with a hint of greed in their eyes.

There was still a cold aura emanating from them, and their greedy gazes were not even concealed.

Shen Bai had already walked up the stairs. After feeling those greedy gazes, he turned his gaze to meet the four people and raised his eyebrows.

There was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He didn't look again, but turned around and went straight to the fourth floor.

Afterwards, the remaining students also went up the stairs one after another and arrived at the fourth floor.

But before going, they all looked for their opportunities in the treasure chest.

Only Wei Feng escaped quickly, without even taking the opportunity.

……

The layout of the fourth floor is similar to that of the third floor, but there are only sixty tables on it at the moment.

After Shen Bai went up to the fourth floor, he glanced at the students behind him and found that after the previous battle, including him and Wei Feng, there were only sixty people left.

"It seems that the tables here have been arranged in advance according to the remaining number of people."

Shen Bai thought to himself.

At the front of these sixty tables, a huge desk was quietly placed.

And on the cushion in front of the desk sat a young man in brocade clothes.

The young man had black hair and exuded an ethereal aura.

But if you look closely, mixed in with the floating breath is a feeling as cold as ice.

"Those entering the fourth floor will choose their seats according to their numbers. We will continue with the previous method."

Shen Bai was the second one to come in, so he chose to sit at the second-ranked table.

As for the rest of the people, they all took their seats one by one.

Shen Bai glanced at Wei Feng next to him with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

After Wei Feng was swept by Shen Bai's gaze, his heart became slightly heavy.

He thought he had a sure win, but now he felt the situation had turned around.

What he was thinking was that if he couldn't find an opportunity in Tianhe Tower, only death would be waiting for him.

While Wei Feng was thinking this, everyone arrived.

The young man in brocade clothes sitting on the high platform supported his chin with his hand and put his elbow on the table. He looked at the people around him with interest, then slowly opened his mouth and began to lecture.

It was the same incomprehensible text again, but this group of students listened with fascination, as if it was the best truth in the world.

This lecture took nearly an hour.

After the young man in brocade clothes finished speaking, Shen Bai felt that the strength of this group of students had increased.

Especially the four before, their strength increased faster and stronger than when they were on the third floor, and the pressure became even greater.

However, after the young man in brocade clothes finished speaking, this group of students did not show murderous intent as before, but instead stared at the young man in brocade clothes in front of them.

Shen Bai touched his chin and thought to himself, "Could it be that the way to enter the next floor has changed?"

As soon as he thought of this, the young man in brocade clothes yawned, pointed to the stairs not far away, and spoke slowly.

The young man in brocade clothes explained the rules on how to enter the next floor.
