Holy shit!

Those two are both so fast!

Yeah, they... they only just went in, right?!

As expected, the world of geniuses is something we can't understand!

I've been deeply struck by this. I'm planning to cultivate bitterly with my junior brothers for a month, day and night without stopping!

Damn it! Senior Brother, you're overflowing with fighting spirit, but don't drag us into it! We haven't slept for ten fucking days!

In the distance, on the other side.

"Elder Ye Bai, how many floors do you think those two can clear?"

Ye Bai, Ye Long, Ye Wudao, and Ye Hai of the outer sect—the Four Great Elders—had gathered together.

Since Ye Emperor Hall had only recently entered the world, although they were outer sect elders, they were still commanders without troops, with no one under their command.

Thus, they were quite free at the moment and had come to the outer sect area to observe the outer disciples.

"I'm not sure, but neither of them lacks talent. Although this is their first trial, I doubt they'll clear only a few floors!"

"Especially Bi Bidong!"

Ye Long, the foremost among the four outer sect elders, considered it for a moment before speaking.

He had heard of both of their reputations as well—one had rung the bell seven times, the other eight.

Eight bell chimes guaranteed becoming a Dou Venerable. Bi Bidong was qualified to stand on equal footing with them!

"It looks like the two of them are certain to enter the inner sect in two months."

Outer Sect Elder Ye Bai said.

Meanwhile, inside the Trial Tower.

Bi Bidong had already broken through the twentieth floor and arrived at the twenty-first.

Yet she had not expected the person on the twenty-first floor to give her quite a "surprise."

"Yu Xiaogang!!"

The twenty-first stage was a dividing line. Once one passed it, the path to the thirtieth stage would be smooth sailing.

It was this very stage that had stopped every disciple who had attempted the trial before.

This illusion was formed from the obsession in one's heart. Though its strength was equal to that of the challenger, the deeper one's obsession, the stronger it became!

"Yu Xiaogang, you hypocrite! You sanctimonious beast!"

"I'll kill you today!"

Although Bi Bidong knew this was all formed by an illusion, as long as one had a heart of flesh, there was no way to remain calm.

As the saying went, enemies' eyes turned red when they met!

From beloved to betrayal, from living together day and night to inciting Tang San to kill her—such a bone-deep hatred!

How could Bi Bidong ever let it go!

The illusory Yu Xiaogang opposite her saw that Bi Bidong had taken the bait.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

"Dong'er, what's wrong?"

"It's me. I'm Xiaogang!"

"I'll kill you!"

Bi Bidong charged forward in an instant.

Violent dou qi bombarded Yu Xiaogang madly.

The manifested Yu Xiaogang merely sneered.

He attacked forward as well.

"Dong'er, what's wrong?"

"Have you forgotten who I am?"

Dou qi filled the skies of the twenty-first floor as the two fought evenly.

The angrier Bi Bidong became, the stronger the illusion opposite her grew.

On the other side.

Tang San had also reached the twenty-first floor.

He encountered the person he would never forget for the rest of his life, the love of his life.

"X-Xiao Wu."

"Why are you here? Aren't you in the Douluo God Realm...?"

"Third Brother, Xiao Wu couldn't bear to leave you."

"Third Brother, how could you be so heartless as to leave Xiao Wu all alone?"

"Third Brother, come over quickly. Xiao Wu has something to tell you."

A young girl in a pink peach-blossom dress, crystal high heels on her feet and a face as lovely as peach blossoms, appeared not far away.

She beckoned Tang San toward her.

"This is only an illusion, Little San!"

"Kill her quickly. Only by killing her can you clear the stage."

Seeing Tang San begin to hesitate, Yu Xiaogang, standing outside the Trial Tower, hurriedly took out a sect family token and called out to remind him.

Because Tang San had successfully entered the outer sect, Yu Xiaogang, as Tang San's second father, had naturally used his family status to slip in as well.

"I know, Teacher, but I..."

"I can't do it..."

"She... she's Xiao Wu!"

Xiao Wu was his childhood sweetheart and, even more so, his wife!

The moment he saw Xiao Wu within the illusion, the longing he had buried surged forth like a raging flood!

He could no longer suppress it.

So what if she was fake? What did it matter if he died, so long as he could look at her a little longer?

This was also why some junior brothers of the sect became stuck on the twenty-first floor.

This floor of the Trial Tower would pierce through one's heart and manifest the deepest obsession within it.

And the deeper one's obsession, the stronger it would become.

Some had women they deeply loved in their hearts, some had enemies they hated to the bone, some had people they had wronged, some had past events they regretted, and some had their inner demons.

Only by breaking one's obsession and remaining firm in one's true heart could one clear this floor.

Outside the tower.

Just as the disciples had expected.

Even geniuses like Bi Bidong and Tang San, who had charged through the first twenty stages like tigers, were still stuck at the twenty-first stage.

Those who had experienced it all knew what awaited them on the twenty-first floor.

Especially those disciples who had complained that the difficulty beyond the twentieth floor was like hell—they deeply understood it now.

He had encountered someone he never wished to see again in his life on the twenty-first floor, and he also understood that this was his obsession.

If he could not overcome this hurdle, then he would achieve nothing great on the path of cultivation in this life.

Bi Bidong gradually calmed down as the battle continued.

After all, she had the state of mind of someone who had lived a second life. She had suddenly seen this vicious man just now and could not hold herself back for a moment.

When anyone was pushed to their limit, they had to vent their madness.

"Hm?"

"Come on, then?"

"Dong'er, is that all you've got?"

"Didn't you want to kill me?"

"With those little moves of yours, you'll never be able to kill me in this life. Come on, keep going!"

Seeing her gradually calm down, the manifested Yu Xiaogang began provoking her with words.

"Hmph, a mere illusion thinks it can trap me."

"Watch me scatter you to the winds!"

"Yu Xiaogang!!"

"Just you wait. One day, I'll tear you apart as ruthlessly as I tore apart this illusion!"

After Bi Bidong spoke, she circulated the Ye Emperor Scripture.

Purple dou qi surged out wildly in a form visible to the naked eye.

Ye Emperor Thunderclap Palm!

A palm as swift as lightning and as fierce as thunder blasted toward Yu Xiaogang.

After a deafening boom, the manifested Yu Xiaogang was shattered, and the illusion on the twenty-first floor broke apart as well.

Bi Bidong then arrived on the twenty-second floor.

Look, look!

Senior Sister Bi Bidong's light on the twenty-second floor is on!

Gasp! Terrifying!

I wonder whether Senior Brother Tang San has caught up.

The disciples had all been watching when they suddenly noticed that Bi Bidong's light on the twenty-second floor had lit up.

They all sighed with emotion. As expected of the chief senior sister!

Not even a stage as difficult as the twenty-first floor could trap her.

On the other hand, Tang San was being lured closer step by step by the manifested Xiao Wu.

He did not stop until he stood before the girl in pink.

He lifted a lock of Xiao Wu's beautiful hair with his hand.

"Xiao Wu, do you know?"

"I miss you so much."

"I think of you every day. I've been waiting until my cultivation succeeds, until I possess the strength to shatter the void, so I can go to the Douluo God Realm and bring you back."

"Don't worry, Xiao Wu. I've already joined a powerful sect. That day isn't far away."

"Xiao Wu, I won't make you wait too long."

"Xiao Wu, I..."

"I know, Third Brother. I miss you too."

Xiao Wu interrupted Tang San before he could continue, stepping forward and throwing her arms around him.

Hearing those words, Tang San smiled happily. No matter how much suffering he endured on this path of cultivation, those words alone were enough.

But then!

The Xiao Wu whom Tang San held in his arms secretly drew a sharp dagger and prepared to viciously stab it into Tang San's heart from behind!
