The sixth layer of the Inheritance Tower.
The golden light here shone even brighter, faintly tinged with scarlet.
"Congratulations on obtaining Tenten's legacy. Please choose whether to accept..."
"Congratulations on obtaining Shikamaru Nara's legacy. Please choose whether to accept..."
Qi Yuan moved constantly through the sixth layer, with legacies seeking him out from time to time and clinging to his side.
Yet he ignored these legacies, because they were not his objective.
Finally, after wandering around for a little under an hour, he spotted another dark red doorway.
"Is that the entrance to the seventh layer?"
His eyes lit up as he stared intently at the dark red doorway.
Suddenly, a mocking voice rang out. "What are you looking at? Don't tell me you want to enter the seventh layer too?"
Qi Yuan shifted his gaze, only then noticing that someone was standing beneath the dark red doorway.
It was Lin Tao from Mowu No. 1 Middle School, whose chakra affinity was as high as 125.
That was why he had also reached the sixth layer and had numerous legacies surrounding him.
Lin Tao sneered coldly at Qi Yuan, then looked toward the dark red doorway with an expression of frustration.
He had just watched Xu Ying push open the dark red door with his own eyes, filling him with envy and jealousy.
But then he sighed faintly. "The strongest legacies I have right now should be Rock Lee's legacy and the Boil Release kekkei genkai!"
"Although Rock Lee was a level-six grandmaster, very few people in the Nine Provinces Alliance have chosen him over all these years."
"After all, the legendary Eight Gates of Limitless is simply too difficult to train in!"
"In that case, there's only one choice!"
A decisive look crossed Lin Tao's face as he selected the upper-tier kekkei genkai, Boil Release!!
The aura around his entire body surged instantly, and all the other legacies began to disappear.
Only the Boil Release kekkei genkai merged into his entire body!!
"What... what incredible power!!"
Once the upper-tier kekkei genkai flowed into his body, his chakra immediately skyrocketed!!
He went straight from provisional ninja to early level three!!
Strange markings also imprinted themselves in his mind-the hand seals for unleashing the Boil Release kekkei genkai.
Lin Tao suddenly burst out laughing, then fixed Qi Yuan with a vicious stare.
The level-three ninja reached Qi Yuan's side in an instant, turning his left hand into a blade and chopping straight at him.
"Since I happened to run into you, I'll just destroy you now!!"
"Even if the Detection Chip picks it up, would they really hold a genius with a limitless future accountable over a dead man?"
A smug smile curled Lin Tao's lips. Using his current level-three strength against a high school senior was simply overkill.
Yet a powerful hand clamped tightly around his knife-hand strike.
For a moment, he could not exert any force at all!!
Qi Yuan's expression was calm, but his gaze was cold as he looked at Lin Tao.
His right hand tightened further and further, and creaking sounds rang out.
Lin Tao felt excruciating pain in his right hand and could not help crying out.
"Just how strong are you?"
"You're definitely no ordinary person!!"
"Damn it, if you've got the guts, let go and let me form hand seals! I'll show you the power of Boil Release! Aah!!"
Yet Qi Yuan's grip only grew stronger, while a level-three quantity of chakra emerged from his body.
They were both level three, yet Lin Tao had actually dared to approach Qi Yuan, who possessed the Eight Gates of Limitless. He was simply courting death.
Qi Yuan suddenly exerted his strength, tearing a bloodied arm clean off!
Lin Tao clutched his severed elbow and howled desperately!!
But what terrified him even more was Qi Yuan suddenly driving his left hand straight into his chest!!
"Aah!!"
The death he had imagined did not come. A burst of teleportation power erupted from Lin Tao's body.
Qi Yuan's attack seemed to strike empty air.
Snatched from the jaws of death, Lin Tao glared at Qi Yuan with his eyes stretched wide in fury.
"I'll definitely have my revenge!!"
Light flashed, and Lin Tao vanished!!
Qi Yuan withdrew his hand with some regret.
"That teleportation was pretty fast! It let this guy escape death!!"
But then he shook his head.
Even after obtaining a legacy, Lin Tao had amounted to little, let alone by the time Qi Yuan emerged from the Planetary Space.
By then, the gap between them would be like the difference between heaven and earth.
Qi Yuan put the matter aside and glanced once more at the dark red doorway nearby.
"I have over 400 enhancement points in my system right now. That's definitely enough to crush anyone."
"I'll add 200 points first and see what the Seventh Layer is like!!"
In a brief instant, Qi Yuan's chakra affinity rose from 121 to 321.
"321? There doesn't seem to have been any record of someone with chakra affinity above 300 in the past three hundred years, right?"
"Then can I enter the Eighth Layer?"
After 300 years of exploration, the Nine Provinces Alliance had determined that a chakra affinity above 150 allowed someone to reach the seventh layer.
And the seventh layer meant obtaining a king's legacy.
Everyone who obtained a king's legacy was an extraordinary genius. As long as they did not die young, they would definitely become a level-six grandmaster.
Yet the difference between level six and level seven was simply too vast.
Even with a king's legacy, reaching level seven was extremely difficult.
With his chakra affinity at 321, Qi Yuan could easily reach the seventh layer.
He stepped forward and gently pushed open the dark red doorway.
Pale red light spilled into the sixth layer, and the space within was full of mystery.
Without further hesitation, Qi Yuan entered the Seventh Layer.
With his entry, the entire sixth layer became empty once more.
The sixth-layer legacies Qi Yuan had previously obtained slowly began to disappear.
Upon entering the seventh layer, Qi Yuan felt as though he stood within a dark red space.
Everything seemed mysterious, even somewhat eerie.
He looked around, but red mist filled the air, making it impossible to see even a short distance away.
Suddenly, an exclamation of surprise rang out, and a blurry figure slowly approached him.
As she drew closer, Qi Yuan gradually made out her features.
She was a slender, graceful young woman.
She looked somewhat familiar.
"How could it be you?"
Xu Ying's eyes widened as she spotted a figure through the layers of mist.
She had been wondering about it, since none of this batch of students should have had a chakra affinity above 150.
Yet never in her dreams had she imagined it would be this guy named Qi Yuan!!
"Didn't you say your chakra affinity was only 121?"
Qi Yuan smiled. "Who knows? Maybe the machine measured it wrong!"
Xu Ying gave a cold laugh but did not expose Qi Yuan's lie.
No matter how inaccurate the machine was, it could not have been that far off.
This guy must have concealed his chakra affinity.
Although that sort of thing was relatively difficult, it was not impossible!
Mental damage was one example.
She just did not know what purpose this guy had for insisting on falsifying his chakra affinity.
