The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms

Chapter 3245: Chapter 3240: King Ming Cheng Begins_1

"Which noble expert was the one that reached the eighth floor?" Yang Chen asked curiously.

He had previously heard Mo Dao and Wind Emperor mention that a snake person expert reached the ninth floor, their expressions full of admiration. It wasn’t hard to guess that the difficulty of the ninth floor must be extraordinary.

Upon hearing this, Wan Huaruo glanced at Yang Chen and smiled. "To be honest, I don’t mind if you all laugh, but the person who reached the ninth floor was me."

When the conversation ended, everyone was slightly surprised.

Wind Emperor laughed out loud, "Although I have some abilities, I can only reach the sixth floor. Compared to Sister Huaruo, I am ashamed."

Wan Huaruo spoke gently, "Brother Wind Emperor is joking, the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower isn’t a standard to measure one’s strength."

Upon hearing Wan Huaruo’s words, Wind Emperor had a bit of face-saving, but deep down, he was very aware of Wan Huaruo’s strength.

Yang Chen also had a friendly expression and was able to tell that Wan Huaruo’s strength level.

However, this did not deter the powerful people present. King Mingcheng, for example, only grew more inclined to conquer the tower. At least, no one believed that they’d be worse than a woman like Wan Huaruo.

King Mingcheng immediately said, "In that case, I’ll take the lead and try this Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower and see what’s so powerful about it!"

"Daoist Friend Mingcheng seems quite confident; it seems you have some certainty. However, according to the rules, before entering the tower, you need to pay respects to our snake people ancestor monument with three bows. After that, you’ll take the Stone Snake test," Wan Huaruo explained peacefully.

Asking King Mingcheng to bow three times to the snake people’s monument made him somewhat displeased.

But after all, it was a rule. Furthermore, with Wan Huaruo present, he didn’t mind too much. He walked to the entrance of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, where the snake people ancestor monument was.

The snake people ancestor had a half-snake half-human figure.

King Mingcheng bowed respectfully three times.

"Alright, I’ve bowed. Lady Wan, what is this Stone Snake Test you mentioned earlier? If we fail the test, will we not be allowed in?" King Mingcheng asked.

Wan Huaruo glanced at King Mingcheng’s insincere bows and shook her head, smiling. "The Stone Snake Test was a rule handed down by our ancestors. Before entering the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, you must strike the Stone Snake once. The Stone Snake will then spit out three types of spheres—stone, gold, and jade balls."

"What’s the difference between these three balls?" one of the Heaven-separated Realm experts asked.

"If you can only hit out a stone ball, it means that you can probably only reach the first three floors. If a gold ball is spat out, it means you’re confident in breaking through the first seven floors. As for the jade ball, it means that you are confident in breaking through the seventh-floor and even higher ones," Wan Huaruo replied with a smile.

"Is this test really that accurate without any deviation?" someone inquired.

"Almost no deviation." Wan Huaruo replied softly, full of confidence.

Many of the Sky Separation Realm experts became astonished.

"What is the purpose of the Stone Snake Test?" Yang Chen asked.

"The Stone Snake Test is meant to let those with insufficient strength to know their limits and retreat. Each time the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower is opened, a large amount of resources are consumed. If many people frequently come to challenge it, it would create a great problem for us, too. Thus, the Stone Snake Test saves us a lot of effort. Of course, you don’t have to believe it. You can try it for yourself even if the test doesn’t spit out ten balls. My snake people sect is very welcoming," Wan Huaruo said gently.

King Mingcheng stepped forward and looked at the Stone Snake.

The craftsmanship of the Stone Snake was special. It looked like it was made of stone, but if you looked closely, you could see the exquisite details within the crystalline pieces embedded in the stone.

King Mingcheng slowly said, "If I were to destroy this Stone Snake with one strike, Lady Wan wouldn’t blame me, right?"

"If Daoist Friend can do that, Huaruo would be more than happy," Wan Huaruo said, covering her mouth with a light laugh.

King Mingcheng gazed at Wan Huaruo’s alluring smile and felt his heart flutter, his desire to show off increased.

"Alright, in that case, I’ll make Lady Wan happy once." King Mingcheng suddenly gathered the Power of Laws in his palm and struck out.

He hit the Stone Snake with his full strength, without holding back.

As the palm struck, a storm swept, causing a turbulent force. The earth trembled slightly, and the wind blew in all directions.

The numerous powerful people present looked on, gasping at King Mingcheng’s impressive display of strength. They had to admit that King Mingcheng’s strength was remarkable. With that one strike, many Heaven-separated Realm experts had to ask themselves if they would be able to withstand his blow.

King Mingcheng was also very satisfied with his own strike, but the results left him disappointed.

His one strike, if wielded in all seriousness, could destroy nearly half of an interface.

However, now that it had collided with the Stone Snake, he found that it remained intact, without any damage.

Only a short moment later, the Stone Snake’s mouth clanked, making a series of sounds as it spit out stone balls one by one.

The stone balls fell into the pool water with a splash, causing ripples.

Everyone looked and saw a strikingly vivid translucent jade ball.

Many experts from the Grand Abyss Palace looked pleased, believing that King Mingcheng would be able to reach the tenth floor in one go since he had hit out a jade ball.

King Mingcheng burst into laughter: "The Stone Snake spat out a jade ball, which means I have the ability to reach the tenth floor."

Wan Huaruo spoke softly, "I suppose I should congratulate you."

"Humph, Lady Huaruo, thank you for the congratulations in advance. I am confident in my own strength. Just wait for my good news, Lady Huaruo," said King Mingcheng, full of arrogance. He wouldn’t back down that easily, and just like that, he directly entered the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.

Wan Huaruo didn’t stop him, just gave a gentle smile. She only lightly waved her hand, and the pool water suddenly revealed several scenes.

The scenes seemed to be images inside the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.

However, these images only focused on the entrance to the next floor and didn’t reveal what was happening with King Mingcheng inside the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.

"Can’t we see what’s happening inside the tower with King Mingcheng through this pool of water?" another Grand Abyss Palace expert asked.

"Daoist Friend should have his secrets. Without his permission, I naturally wouldn’t want everyone to see. However, with this image, you all can still roughly judge which floor Daoist Friend Mingcheng has reached," Wan Huaruo explained.

Hearing this, the people of the Grand Abyss Palace had no objections. After all, if their trump card was revealed, it would be disadvantageous for them as well.

The images in the pool water appeared clear, and it didn’t take long to see King Mingcheng smoothly entering the second floor.
