One Against Six

Chapter 31: One Against Six "Primordial Unity Fist, Sixth Form..."

"Rivers Converging at the Source!"

Lu Yun struck as swiftly as rushing thunder, directly using the Primordial Fist technique best suited for fighting a group.

In an instant!

A golden-yellow fist radiance shot from his hand like a meteor, trailing waves of howling wind as it flew forward.

Whoosh...

In the blink of an eye, that golden glow seemed to pierce through the void. A series of ear-splitting explosions rang out, leaving lingering afterimages in the air. Even space twisted wherever it passed.

Meanwhile, the two black-clad men still suspended in midair were blasted apart by that golden radiance.

"After advancing to the Mid-Star-Gathering Realm, my combat power has indeed risen greatly."

"Those two black-clad men were Early Star-Gathering Realm cultivators, yet they could not even withstand a single punch."

"They were far too weak!"

He clenched his fists...

Feeling the surging, abundant spiritual power throughout his body, Lu Yun was in exceptionally high spirits and could not help laughing loudly.

"Hahaha, exhilarating—truly exhilarating! I never thought breaking through in battle could be so interesting."

"Those two black-clad men just now were utter trash. I hope the third floor's challenge will not disappoint me!"

Just as he began looking forward to the next floor's challenge, a white light suddenly enveloped him.

The next second.

He vanished from where he stood.

Much like the previous round, when he opened his eyes, three black-clad men had appeared ahead of him at some unknown point.

Judging from their auras, all three had risen to the Mid-Star-Gathering Realm.

In other words.

On this floor, Lu Yun had to fight one against three.

"It seems the tower spirit can adjust the virtual humans' parameters according to changes in the challenger's strength."

"However..."

"I only need to keep improving. Dealing with them will not be difficult."

As his thoughts shifted.

Lu Yun brought his five fingers together. Veins bulged across his body as the spiritual power within him circulated wildly, eventually forming whirlpools.

Then, under his precise control, that energy surged rapidly into his legs, making them as hard and powerful as cannonballs.

Immediately after.

He exploded forward, shooting toward the three black-clad men like an arrow loosed from its bowstring.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three consecutive blows rang out.

Lu Yun's fists repeatedly smashed into the three black-clad men's heads.

One punch per man.

In the blink of an eye, he had dealt with all three.

This time.

He felt that the tower spirit could not even be bothered with him. Without any prompt, it directly sent him to the fourth floor.

At the same time.

Several hundred more contestants participating in this trial were eliminated, and only a very small number made it to the second floor.

At this moment, in a space on the second floor, Dugu Mingjun finally dealt with the two black-clad men before him. Exhausted, he lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

"Hehe! No matter what, I finally cleared it!"

"If my guess is correct, I should be among the first examinees to reach the third floor."

"After all, in such a difficult situation, not just anyone has the resources to use a secret technique."

"I wonder how that Lu brat is doing. He has probably already been eliminated, right?!"

"Hmph! When we leave the tower later, I am really looking forward to seeing where Gu Yuanwei can put that old face of his!"

At that moment, merely thinking of Gu Yuanwei's ugly expression after leaving the tower, Chu Lingxue's worshipful gaze, and the spoils of their earlier wager made Dugu Mingjun wish he could fly out immediately.

While Dugu Mingjun was still letting his imagination run wild on the second floor, Lu Yun had already quietly ascended to the Unfixed Pagoda's fourth-floor space.

This time, however, the situation seemed somewhat different.

When everyone encountered advertisements such as "Are you a True Person?", there was no need to pay attention to them. Simply close them. Do not scan any codes or send text messages!

Perhaps the tower spirit had been provoked earlier. This floor did not, as before, add one opponent of equal strength with each level.

Once Lu Yun clearly saw the figures gradually condensing before him, he discovered in astonishment that six black-clad men at the Mid-Star-Gathering Realm had appeared at once.

"Is this some kind of joke?!"

"Why did six appear all at once?"

"Could it be... I accidentally offended the tower spirit?"

Seeing such a scene, Lu Yun was rendered speechless.

One had to know.

Including himself, there were currently only six human experts at or above the Mid-Star-Gathering Realm in total.

Yet this tower spirit was so outrageous!

It had simulated six such super experts in one go.

"Never mind!"

"Fortunately, I accumulated a great deal of experience just now. I can feel that I am about to advance to the Late-Stage Star-Gathering Realm."

"As long as I can hold on without being instantly killed."

"Then... I will definitely have a chance to win!"

Although the situation was rather dangerous, Lu Yun was not especially worried.

As long as he could break through to the Late-Stage Star-Gathering Realm in time, all problems would unravel like bamboo splitting under a blade.

At this thought...

With a flip of his right hand, the Ancient Moon Elephant-Trunk Saber was already in his grasp.

No matter what, in a one-against-six situation like this, having a weapon in hand would let him hold out a little longer.

The moment he assumed his stance, the black-clad men attacked.

Their goal was simple:

They had to stop Lu Yun from continuing his ascent of the tower!

In an instant...

The six black-clad men appeared around Lu Yun almost simultaneously, completely surrounding him.

Lu Yun's pupils suddenly contracted.

Sure enough, these black-clad men were no pushovers!

All of them possessed Mid-Star-Gathering Realm strength. Any one of them alone could fight Lu Yun to a standstill.

Moreover.

Even more terrifyingly, their coordination was extremely seamless. They did not look like a team hastily assembled at all.

"Indeed, you are formidable!"

"However, you... should not have come to provoke me."

Lu Yun stared coldly at them.

Although these black-clad men possessed little intelligence and were merely tools created from thin air by the tower spirit, being forced to this point by them was truly irritating.

"Storms from All Directions!"

Lu Yun shouted, whirling the saber in his hand into an impenetrable curtain, leaving the black-clad men no opening to exploit.

All he needed to do now was stall for time. As long as he broke through to the Late-Stage Star-Gathering Realm, no matter how many black-clad men there were, they would be nothing to fear.

As silver light flashed, the Ancient Moon Elephant-Trunk Saber swept out a cold gleam and instantly attacked the six black-clad men.

With this strike!

Lu Yun had nearly used every bit of spiritual power in his body. Though he knew it could not cause much damage to the black-clad men, it was worth doing as long as it could buy him even a little more time.

Sure enough.

He had won this gamble!

Because this saber strike carried terrifying momentum and contained all of Lu Yun's strength, every black-clad man retreated two steps in unspoken accord.

At the same time.

[Ding! Detected that the host is executing the Thousand Mountains Saber Technique...]

[Saber technique experience +1. 1000x critical hit triggered, experience +1000!]

[Congratulations, Host! Thousand Mountains Saber Technique increased from lv120 83% to lv130 79%!]

In that flash of lightning and flint...

Lu Yun clearly felt the spiritual power within him begin to surge explosively, while the bottleneck he had been at in the Mid-Star-Gathering Realm...

Was instantly broken through!!!
