Chapter 836 - 779: The Way of Metal, Slaughter

Han Yu completed the transformation of his Divine Techniques a step ahead, defying Zhi Sou’s expectations while also disrupting his plan.

The difficulty that was supposed to gradually increase suddenly got broken through by the barrier of Divine Techniques.

The sixth level, Initial Realm of the Divine Platform!

When Han Yu ascended, he didn’t even pause for a moment; his fleeting figure was like a flickering firefly, making it impossible to predict where he would appear next.

The Fourth Tier of Divine Techniques was neither a domain nor anything else, but rather added a terrifying lethality to Han Yu’s aura.

Even Zhi Sou cast a sideways glance at such Divine Techniques.

"This guy is weird, none of his Divine Techniques seem proper."

Zhi Sou pursed his lips as he spoke, seeing Han Yu’s Fourth Tier Divine Technique as seemingly ordinary, yet this terrifying lethality was simply unsolvable.

As Han Yu’s aura surged, this thing had no upper limit.

This kind of means was quite mystical!

If inferred this way, if Han Yu could suppress the opponent in terms of aura, wouldn’t it be unparalleled in attack?

The fact was, indeed, the sixth level lit up strangely.

If he wasn’t mistaken, hadn’t this guy just ascended not long ago!

The seventh level!

Han Yu’s aura ascended again, and the instant the energy spread, its lethality was even more terrifying than the Fire Divine Power.

Nearly indiscriminate sharp aura surged from all directions just as the cultivators at the Divine Platform initial realm were setting up their posture, only to be sneak-attacked by Han Yu.

Somewhat lacking martial ethics!

The piercing aura was like knife beams, constantly permeating every part of the cultivators’ bodies, and Han Yu wasn’t idle either, his figure like a phantom swiftly shot through every cultivator’s body like an arrow from a bowstring.

There were no blood and flesh flying scenarios, only desolation like withering flowers, with cultivators continuously fluttering like sand grains.

"Indeed, in this world, things are first hard then easy!"

Han Yu looked at the empty seventh level and inexplicably sighed heavily.

Zhi Sou’s always composed face finally showed a hint of anger.

"I wasn’t teaching you this, damn it!"

The Spirit Bodies, helplessly, also launched an attack on him.

When he reached the eighth level, Walking the Dao cultivators!

This was already at the same level as Su Xiaoxiao.

Han Yu wanted to repeat his old trick, but the Walking the Dao cultivators’ sharp perception was quicker than his own.

Then this time it was Han Yu’s turn to leap around as he was attacked.

Especially since all the cultivation techniques of these cultivators were ones he had encountered or personally experienced before.

Suddenly, a star was thrown at him.

Celestial Dao Sect’s techniques!

The next moment, the Netherworld domain unfolded continuously, tightly entangling him.

Yama Hall’s techniques were also present!

Like a mixed bag, both sects’ methods were unleashed, leaving Han Yu without even a chance to retaliate.

"First hard, then easy, right?"

Zhi Sou coldly laughed outside.

Of course, this was his doing, contrary to those Spirit Bodies, twisted but he insisted, Han Yu had to listen to his reasoning, twisted he’d have them pull back to the righteous path to listen till the end.

These remaining two levels, Han Yu could dream of getting through...

While he was still pondering, he suddenly widened his eyes, what just happened?

How did the eighth level light up?

And it lit up so quickly?

Wasn’t there not even a chance to strike back?

Indeed, Han Yu had no chance to strike back, so he decisively escaped up to the last level, thinking if he couldn’t fight he might as well see the last level.

This nearly scared Zhi Sou off, his expression was extremely peculiar, he thought, this guy wanted to take on two levels at once.

Han Yu was also terrified, as these damned things actually chased him up.

"Old man, aren’t you going to do something about this? How can things from the eighth level be at the ninth level!"

Zhi Sou pursed his lips outside the tower, his voice slowly transmitted inside.

"You could run into the ninth level, why couldn’t they?"

Hmm! That’s very reasonable!

Without waiting for Han Yu to speak again, suddenly, an aura pervaded among the ninth level.

Just one?

The only cultivator at the ninth level, Divine Dao Realm, and not just any Divine Dao Realm.

Not the usual cultivator either!

Is Han Yu normal? No, he’s not!

Therefore, the opponent naturally wasn’t ordinary either.

Han Yu couldn’t help but shout loudly outside the tower, "How clichéd! Is the top level meant for me to fight myself?"

This is very clichéd, isn’t it?

Even the storyteller at their village entrance long stopped telling such clichés.

"Is that so?"

Zhi Sou raised his eyebrows intentionally pausing for a moment, then turned his head, Han Yu already being pushed back.

Now he’s staring blankly doubting himself.

"Seems he just used my Divine Technique, didn’t he?"

Han Yu spoke with a strange expression on his face, as he was grumbling, the opposite Han Yu unexpectedly sent Five Elements Divine Techniques cascading onto his face, directly killing him!

Zhi Sou laughed heartily, mockingly looking at him, "Whether cliché or not doesn’t matter, bothersome you is what matters."

That’s right, he had the entire ninth level redone.

First hard, then easy, huh? Making it first hard, then easy for you!

Normal cultivators would likely hardly pose a significant obstacle to Han Yu, not to mention he estimated Han Yu could leisurely pass the ninth level given some time.

This naturally didn’t align with his ideals.

Torture... Han Yu’s teaching philosophy is the main focus of this bonus match.

Besides, Han Yu seems to have never been genuinely troubled by a cultivator with divine techniques, isn’t this a great opportunity!

Ji Sou has plenty of reasons and ample motivation.

Seeing Han Yu with a look as if he had seen a ghost, he laughed heartily, "He who overcomes others is strong, but he who conquers himself is even stronger!"

"If you want to play with me, just say it."

Han Yu wasn’t interested in listening to those grand theories. Is this a game of cheating? On the ninth floor, there’s someone who’s exactly like him, using his divine techniques, then fighting him.

"If you don’t want to play, there’s an exit next door."

Ji Sou pointed at the lonely bronze door, which was the most convenient passage; stepping in would take you directly back.

"Even if I get ruthless, I can kill myself; what’s an impostor to me!"

Han Yu spoke angrily, then turned and re-entered the Futu Tower. Ever since he knew the ninth floor was such a disgusting plaything, Han Yu hadn’t dared to move up again.

Honestly fighting his way up, he obediently fought step by step on the eighth floor.

Even though he died in various ways, they all repeated over and over again.

"You must not always rely on your physical body; you need to learn to push your divine techniques to the limit."

Ji Sou couldn’t bear to watch anymore. Although the physical body was formidable, why rush when it wasn’t necessary?

Why always get yourself so battered when you can attack, instead of getting hit first?

Han Yu pondered; he undeniably relied on his physical body to turn the tables repeatedly, but he almost got injured every time he fought.

Maybe it happened so frequently that he got used to it.

Thinking about if his physical body suddenly couldn’t hold up and he still foolishly rushed ahead makes his scalp tingle.

"Not all methods are futile against you; if they can’t break you, maybe they’ll trap you."

Ji Sou shook his head, especially since the means of Divine Dao cultivators were endless. Rashly relying on the physical body could result in not even knowing how you died.

After Han Yu nodded silently, he once again re-entered the Futu Tower. This time, he tried another way to fight his way up.

Where he could avoid being hit, he used his body technique to the extreme once more.

Although the Gold Divine Power couldn’t make him fly, it allowed him to reach extreme speed, far beyond what the Fire Divine Power could achieve.

"It can be even faster..."

Han Yu was still not satisfied. After rushing and killing his way up, he died once again due to the methods of the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall.

The momentum visibly increased.

Sharper, more soul-stirring...

"He’s gotten stronger again!"

Su Xiaoxiao pointed at Han Yu’s body, wondering why his supposedly weak self had grown.

Chen Xixi also looked strange, couldn’t help but speak to the little sword spirit, "Is the improvement really that significant when a cultivator with divine techniques advances?"

The little sword spirit suddenly slumped down; it didn’t want to respond.

Those words were really piercing.

The trial arena couldn’t possibly see such a significant advancement!

So the two guys in there were even more detestable.

It was quite insulting.

To rampantly improve in its domain.

Chen Xixi gave the little sword spirit a side-eye, then teased Su Xiaoxiao, "Perhaps I misspoke earlier, he’s sure to enter the Divine Dao Realm faster than you."

This time she was quite certain.

"Senior sister, you don’t have to speak."

Su Xiaoxiao felt another stab in the heart and spoke with a wry smile.

Suddenly, he wasn’t interested in watching anymore. What was there to see, watching others show off and get in his way?

So he spoke to Chen Xixi, "There’s nothing much to see here, how about we head over first!"

Mu Zili’s time of passing to the other side was uncertain, but when he did, it would surely be the best time for Chen Xixi and them to sneak back.

Therefore, they should hurry over there to wait, instead of waiting for Mu Zili to arrive first.

Luckily, this time Chen Xixi didn’t fool around anymore. She nodded silently, grabbed the mundane man, and pulled Su Xiaoxiao along. Before the man could ask what was happening, they turned into light and vanished.

The few from the Self-Improvement Sect were astonished; did they just leave like that?

And they took the mundane man with them!

"It’s okay, after all, that’s the mundane man’s master."

Mo Xiuwen spoke helplessly; the Self-Improvement Sect hadn’t been together for a few days, and now two more people had left.

Looking at the lying Han Yu, this guy also basically wasn’t here unless something happened.

In this way, calculating, only the three of them in the Self-Improvement Sect remained together.

Not really, Mo Xiuwen himself also hid in a small workshop every day.

Therefore, in the coming days, Coconut probably had to accompany You Li alone.

Han Yu was still getting faster, and the pace of change was accelerating.

Initially, he could only struggle to hold on within the methods of the Celestial Dao Sect and Yama Hall, but later, he could sustain longer.

Until!

A streak of lightning-fast light burst forth, effortlessly passing by a line of Walking the Dao cultivators, and when Han Yu landed, all became silent; all spiritual power had calmed, and all offensives collapsed simultaneously.

Along with the collapse came those figures!

Now, after leaving, he wouldn’t need to use so many divine techniques to make elaborate efforts.

Only the addition of Gold Divine Power combined with the Fire Divine Power would be sufficient to easily kill any cultivator within the sacred dais.

This is what Ji Sou wanted to teach him, the Dao of Gold, the kill!

This time it seemed like merely the advancement of a divine technique’s rank, but in terms of combat power, it truly elevated Han Yu to a new tier!

When he stepped into the ninth floor again, Ji Sou had already left.

To Ji Sou, Han Yu had already passed the eighth floor here.

"After all, it isn’t him! It can’t stop him."

The ninth floor simply couldn’t stop Han Yu, who had surpassed the eighth floor.

Han Yu felt the same, so he found it peculiar why go through the extra mile to bring him to this floor.

Until during another encounter, Han Yu’s face turned dark...
