One Against Six

"Sixth Form of the Primordial Unity Fist..."

"Rivers Converging at the Source!"

Lu Yun struck as swiftly as rushing thunder, directly unleashing a move from the Primordial Fist suited for fighting groups.

In an instant!

A golden fist radiance shot from his hand like a meteor, carrying waves of howling wind as it flew straight ahead.

Whoosh...

In the blink of an eye, that ball of golden light seemed to pierce the void itself. A chain of ear-splitting explosions rang out, leaving afterimages in the air. Even space twisted wherever it passed.

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

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

"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 bursting into laughter.

"Hahahaha, incredible! This feels absolutely incredible! I never expected breaking through in battle to be so enjoyable."

"Still, those two black-clad men just now were complete trash. I hope the challenge on the third floor will not disappoint me!"

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

The next second.

He vanished from where he stood.

Similar to the previous stage, when he opened his eyes, three black-clad men had appeared ahead of him at some unknown point.

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

In other words.

On this floor, Lu Yun had to face three opponents alone.

"It seems the Pagoda Spirit can adjust the parameters of these virtual people according to changes in the challenger's strength."

"However..."

"I only need to keep growing stronger. Dealing with them will not be much of a problem."

As his thoughts shifted.

Lu Yun brought his five fingers together. Veins bulged across his body as the spiritual power within him circulated madly, ultimately forming vortexes.

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

Immediately after.

He exerted force violently, shooting toward the four black-clad men like an arrow released from the bowstring.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three consecutive blows rang out.

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

One punch per man.

In the blink of an eye, he had taken care of all three.

This time.

He felt that the Pagoda Spirit could not even be bothered with him. Without giving any prompt at all, it sent him straight to the fourth floor.

At the same time.

Several hundred more participants in this trial had been eliminated, and only a very small number had reached the second floor.

Meanwhile, 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, gulping down breaths of air.

"Hehe! No matter what, I finally passed!"

"If my guess is right, I should be the first examinee to reach the third floor."

"After all, when facing such a difficult situation, not everyone has the resources to use secret arts."

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

"Hmph! When we leave the pagoda later, I am truly 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 pagoda, Chu Lingxue's worshipful gaze, and the spoils from their earlier wager made Dugu Mingjun wish he could immediately sprint out.

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

This time, however, the situation seemed somewhat different.

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

Perhaps the Pagoda Spirit had been provoked earlier, because this floor did not add one opponent of equal strength to him as before.

When 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.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Why did six of them suddenly appear?"

"Could it be... I offended the Pagoda Spirit without realizing it?"

Seeing such a scene, Lu Yun was instantly speechless.

One had to know.

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

Yet this Pagoda Spirit was actually so outrageous!

It had simulated six such super-powerhouses all at once.

"Whatever!"

"Fortunately, I accumulated plenty of experience points 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 and avoid being instantly killed."

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

Although the current 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, every problem would be resolved as easily as a knife slicing through bamboo.

With that thought...

He flipped his right hand, and 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 on a little longer.

The moment he had assumed his stance, the black-clad men had already launched their attack.

Their objective was simple:

They had to stop Lu Yun from continuing up the pagoda!

In an instant...

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

Lu Yun's pupils abruptly contracted.

Sure enough, these black-clad men were no harmless lot!

All of them possessed Mid-Star-Gathering Realm strength. Even if any one of them came out alone, he could fight Lu Yun to a standstill.

Moreover.

What was even more terrifying was that their coordination was extremely seamless. They did not look like a team assembled at the last minute in the slightest.

"Impressive indeed!"

"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 conjured from thin air by the Pagoda Spirit, being forced to this point by them was truly irritating.

"Storms from All Directions!"

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

What he needed to do now was delay for as long as possible. As long as he could break 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 all the spiritual power in his body. Although he knew it was impossible to inflict much damage on the black-clad men, it would be worth it as long as he could gain even a little more time.

Sure enough.

He had won this gamble!

Because the saber strike carried astonishing force and had been unleashed with all of Lu Yun's strength, every black-clad man retreated two steps in unison.

At the same time.

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

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

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

In that lightning-flash instant...

Lu Yun clearly felt the spiritual power within his body begin to surge wildly, and the bottleneck he had been stuck at in the Mid-Star-Gathering Realm actually...
