"He should be able to reach the Eleventh Layer," Gu Qingfeng said.
Though he was at odds with Huo Xiaochेन, he had to admit that Huo Xiaochेन was indeed powerful, cultivating both the Azure Dragon Tyrant Body and the Purple Extremity Heaven-Burning Art.
Dragon blood could cleanse and temper the sinews and bones, enhancing the body's potential. After taking dragon blood, Huo Xiaochेन's physical potential should have been second only to Tu Gang's.
Xu Yang and the others nodded. With his cultivation at second Heavenly Origin perfection and his Azure Dragon Tyrant Body also at the second layer, Huo Xiaochेन would truly have been trash if he could not fight above his level.
"The Eleventh Layer."
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the Heavenly Strategy Wind and Cloud Rankings shimmered and distorted. The floor number beside Huo Xiaochен's name changed to eleven. He had reached the Eleventh Layer.
On the Eleventh Layer, he would face two Third Heavenly Origin Martial Artists. Everyone knew Huo Xiaochен was unlikely to clear it. After all, even Spirit Bone Prodigies like Qi Ning had failed to clear it back then. The only question was how long Huo Xiaochен could hold out.
"He's reached the Eleventh Layer."
"Huo Xiaochेन's ranking will probably surpass Lu Wei's. He'll officially become the strongest beneath the Spirit Bone Prodigies."
Seeing Huo Xiaochেন reach the Eleventh Layer, Lu Ren, Du Ziming, and the others flushed with excitement, as though they themselves had reached it. A little while later, a faint light flashed at the Battle Tower's entrance, and Huo Xiaochেন stumbled out in a sorry state. His clothes were torn in several places, and the exposed skin was covered in horrific fissures.
His hair was disheveled, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and he could barely stand.
